PECULIAR CASE.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
Springfield, Ill, May PA sensational
affair came to light in this city to-day,
involving people from Chicago and Pom
tiac. Yesterday, DR.. H. N. Brown, of
Pontiac, came to this city to procure the
arrest of his sister-in-law and her para
mour. The officers had previously been
notified by Mrs. H. N. Brown that her Sis
ter had run away from home with Edward
n. Hoyle, of Chicago, stealing $500 from
her, Mrs. Brown. The young lady,
buxom country lass, young
widow, was also charged with
stealing Mrs. Browns adopted child. 1t is
also related that the child is the daughter
| of the runaway girl and heiress to a snug
fortune. Its grandmother took it to Pom
tiac last night. Hoyle came here with
Herbert Davis, also of Chicago, to start in
business. The girl claims to have been
married to Hoyle in Chicago Nov. 1, 1882,
but this is evidently untrue, as the pair
promised last night TO get married to-day.
They did not do SO. To complicate mat
ters the young lady is again approaching
maternity and Hoyle is trying to run off
and leave her. They will probably not be
prosecuted.
BOLD EXPRESS ROBBERY.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 24.-The United
States Express company's money carrier,
Alexander Grauger, received sundry pack
ages of monsy and other valuables from
the east bound Lake Shore train at the
union depot this morning and put them in
buggy standing outside, and somebody
from the ice room called to him, and no
one being in sight, he stepped little way
from the vehicle to ascertain who called.
Returning he drove to the express COM
pany's main Office and there discovered
that two bags similar TO the company's
pouches, but filed with brown paper, had
been substituted for two containing money.
It is supposed the robbery had
been carefully planned by experts,
| and executed at the moment
Granger's attention was diverted. The
missing pouches are said to contain in the
neighborhood of $4,000 in thirty pack
ages of remittances from railway stations
| OllCaQO
and Toledo, to headquarters. The amount
cannot be definitely known for some days.
Much Of the remittances are thought TO
| be IN bank checks and certificates of de-
posit.
Auditor Leland, of the Lake Shore,
thinks the railway remittances in the
pouches stolen to-day from the United
States express messenger could not ex-
| ceed $4,000 in money, and might not be
| more than $4,000. No clue yet to the
robbers.
MURDERED FOR MONEY.
ST. Louis, May 24.-The body of a man
named W. L. Howard with four bullet holes
in it, was found in the woods near Nevada,
No., last Sunday. Yesterday dissolute
character known as Bill Fox was arrested
on suspicion of having committed the
deed, and on being closely pressed ac-
knowledged the act. His story shows that
he deliberately lured Howard into the
woods, shot him in Geld blood, then robbed
the body of $40. He claims Howard did
him some wrong about year ago, for
which he promised to get even with him,
but it is plainly evident the murder was
committed solely for plunder. Fox was
indicted yesterday and will have a speedy
trial. Howard was highly connected.
SENTENCED TO HANG.
New YORK, May 24.-Patrick Casey, the
ex-police officer, who shot and killed Ser
geant Corniskey at Hunters point station
house, was to-day sentenced to be hanged

MINERS RIOT.
ST. LOUIS, May 24.-The striking coal
miners took possession of the Abbey mines
during the night, driving off $50 miners
who were working. Reports of fighting |
between the miners at Collinsville, Ills, |
are also received. No particulars. The |
Abbey mines are worked by machinery.
ST. LOUIS, May PA good deal of |
excitement existed this morning and |
during the day among the striking coal |
miners in st. Claire county, ILL.,, opposite |
this city. At an early hour this morning |
some 200 or 300 strikers from the vicinity |
of Caseyville and Belleville arrived at mine |
No. 4, of the Abbey Coal company at |
Collinsville, surrounded the large board |
ing house near the mouth of the pit, and |
called on the men to come out. This COM
pany mines coal with machinery, and en-
ploys only common laborers, skilled mi |
ners not being required. Most of the men |
IN the house obeyed the summons of the |
strikers, and were informed they would |
not be allowed to do any more work until |
the operators of other mines accsded to |
their demands for more wages. A long
