SYSTEMATIC STEALING.
A Combination Of Thieying Car-Drfvers
Discovered.

The City Railway Company has suffered a
good deal of late from thefts committed by
the drivers in its employ. Several of the
employees have been suspected by SuperIn-
tendent Raphael Semmes, who has been lay
ing his own plans 10 catch them The first
man he laid for was a diver named E. R.
Burnhammer, whose receipts were far below
what they should have been. The trap laid
by the superintendent was as follows: He
sealed the money box in such way that no
one could open it without breaking the seals.
Next morning the seals were broker, and il
was apparent that Burnhsmmer had been
into the box. Mr.. S=mnes confronted the
driver, accused him to his face of the theft,
and asked where the KEY was with
which he opened the box. The
fellow acknowledged his guilt, and
said the instrument used wss a wire
whole business, provided he was not prose-
culed. Mr.. Semmes promised not TO prose-
cute him if he would produce the key, which
he said an ex GARDINER had made. He was
permitted to go after the key, and has never
been heard OF since. A short time ago, it
will be remembered, an account was given OF
a daring robbery OF street car OF Vance
street BY white man and a negro, one of
whom pointed a pistol at the head OF the
driver while the other went through the
box. II now turns out that this was a cock
and-bull story made up by the driver, C. c.
Cosby The superintendent did not believe
the story, and fatty ACCUSED Cosby of theft.
He denied it, but said he could have pro-
cured a KEY from the ex cdr-driver before re-
ferred to. This man came here from St.
Louis. There is but little doubt that he is
the guilty party, bot The proof is not yet
sufficient TO convict kim

from which the directions are purpe-ely

you. Respectfully, PC.
The ACTOR was not TO he played upon in
this way, go he sent discreet friend to the
house mentioned, in order 10 ascertain, if
possible, who "P. c." was. The friend found
the lady to be very sweet and modest little
girl, and he very frankly told her that some
sconndrel was taking advantage OF her. She
said she had been to the theater with "P.
c ;" and had admired the actor and had ex-
pressed her admiration of his &C ing; that
her escort said he would trip her up yet.
She had paid no especial attention TO his re-
mark. The actor was placed in possession of
all these facts "P. ca" name was given by
the young lady. The proper authorities now
nave charge of the matter, and it is more

will be the Island. Further Developments
