THE STAMPS WERE WORTHLESS,
But They Get "a Treasury Clerk Into
Tr0ubIN Eeverthefeas.

AFOhDho NoNpHAhohSNHs
Detective Block yesterday afternoon took
into custody young man named VIM. d.
Colley, laborer in the Stamp Division OF
the Treasury Department., for stealing 50
worth of Treasury Department official
stamps. 1t was afterwards discovered that
he got another party, named Gray, to dis
pose of them for him, and SO worth were
sold TO Mr.. Lisner, Of the Palais Royal, and
SO worth to Mr.. George o. Henntng, the
clothier, at their face value.
Examination at tho Department showed
that an envelope containing So worth of
such stamps was missing from the desk of
Captain Mitchell, chief of the bureau.
Acting Secretary Coon signed the dis
missal OF Colley after he was arrested. The
gentlemen who bought the stamps did so in
good faith, and Mr.. Lisner, to mako change,
used one of the stamps before he discovered
that they were useless.
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas states that
Colley admits taking the stamps, but claims
that he sold them as curiosities. He also
claims that they were of no real value, as
they were abolished July /. The Treasury
officials repudiate this, as the stamps have
to be accounted for.
In the Police Court to-day the case was
continued until next Monday.
The only charge brought so far against
Colley is the larceny of So worth of postage
stamps from Captain Mitchell, the stamps
being his personal property.
Mr.. Thomas says he will confer with his
superior officer in regard to bringing q
prosecution under tho special statute, i'm
posing penalty of $500 for using official
stamps.
Colley Is 30 years old and resides on
Twelfth street, between M and N streets,
and has been employed in the Treasury
since May 20, 1883.

He Leaps Into street Car ana
wrenches u Lady's Purse from
Her.
Mrs. William @. Scrivener, of No. 426
Eleventh street, was tho victim of the most
daring case of highway robbery that has
occurred here in long time. The lady
states that she went to the Centre Market
this morning and started to return home
about 10 o'clock.
She states that when she left the market
she suspected that she was being followed
by young colored man, but paid little
attention to it, and got into Belt Line
car. There was only one other passenger
in the car at tho time-an elderly gentle
man, who was in the far-end of tho car and
had his back toward her.
When at the corner of Ninth and d
streets the colored man, whom she thought
was logging her, bounded suddenly into
the car and grabbed her roughly by the
arms and wrenched her purse from her
hand and suddenly disappeared. She
quickly gave an alarm, but before persons
in the neighborhood could comprehend the
nature of the case the thief escaped. The
police are on the lookout for the robber.

FINED FOR SELLING LIQUOR.
The Character of witnesses who Spy
Out Liquor Cases.

During the trial Of James T. Collins, of
Nineteenth and T streets, in the Police
Court this morning for selling ruin on Sum
day, tho character Of tho witnesses who
testify in such cases, including policemen
and others, was made the subject Of COM
ment by Lawyer Cahill, who appeared for
the defendant, and also by the Court.
Mr.. Cahill attacked the character Of COM
plainant, who was q special officer, aud
tried to prove on cross.examination that no
had been in the penitentiary.
Judge Mills said the fact that man was
appointed on the police force was certif-
cate Of good character, Notwithstanding
Mr.. Cahill's opinion to the contrary. And
as to the manner in which the officers get
their evidence in these cases, nothing can
be said against the officers, because it. is
their duty to find out If the law is being
violated A fine Of 500 was imposed in the
case.

the receiver Of the Ysnkton land Office :
The recent marriage Of William e.

after four years course. While study.
