20 10 25 points from the highest point, the de-
cline to-day being 5tO points, New York

active ut VS. and 1t sold at the same rate to-
day, but buyers were somewhat Indifferent
and sellers were strongly inclined to

A Trusted Clerk of the Pacific Express CONF
pany i'm st. Louis. Mo-, Seizes n Favorable
Opportunity Together with 100000 and
Decamps.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 8.
The Pacific Express Office corner OF
Fourth and st. Charles streets, was yester-
day robbed of a sum that will not fall short
of 100000 by Prentiss Tiller, trusted
clerk, who proceeded in singularly bold
manner. Tiller came here three years
ago from Louisville, where he was in the
employ of the American Express Com
pany, and bore good reputation. He
was highly recommended, and was en-
ployed by Joseph Temple. No bond was
required of him. His duties were simply
clerical, but he was one of a detail of five,
who took turn in doing office duty on
Sunday, receiving the packages brought.
in by clerks from GA. m. to p. m. At
3 p. m. yesterday he told the day watch
man, James Cranney, who was the only
other person in the office, that he in
tended TO go out for lunch. This was in abb
solute defiance OF the rules of the office.
Not believing that Tiller intendedto violate
a rule so well established as that against
leaving the Office during business hours,
the Waterman busted himself in the back
room where freight is received.
This was the opportunity that Tiller was
awaiting. He gathered all the packages
which he had received, concealed them
about his person, locked the safe, and
considerably leaving behind him some
$50, 900 in bullion, quietly unlocked the
front door and passed out into the world
a thief, but richer by 100000.
THE wATCHMAN
being in the freight-room, heard a noise
in the front office, and going forward
found IA stranger standing inside of the
door evidently looking for a clerk.
When asked how he came there, he
said that he had found the door open
| and wanted to make business inquiry.
! The alarmed Waterman put the stranger
out, but saw no one in the vicinity. The
! absence of Tiller raised his suspicion,
and, after waiting few minutes,
he notified Superintendent Fuller and
Chief Clerk Porter by telephone of the
state of affairs. They came in hot
haste, arriving at four o'clock. Tiller's
safe was locked. Fearing the worst, lock-
smiths were sent for to break the safe.
Il was difficult job, and not until mid
night did the doors swing open.
THE CoFFERs WE'RE EMPTY
of everything but bullion. The thief had
taken with him the pages of the books re-
cording the packages he had received, and
it was only possible to estimate the
amount of the robbery. The police were
notified early in the evening of the rob-
berry before it's extent was established,
and the following description given of
him: Prentiss Tiller, aged twenty-five,
