They were known to have no afliliation

native miners could pretend to liye. So

Two Youths wIin Have Jallied the PoStofiicc
Department Arrested.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Insptc!or Hem
dersoD, of the Postollice Department, has
jus. returned from North Carolina, where
he succeeded in causing the arrest oil two
mail robbers, who though mere lads, had
by the ncatness and dexteIity Of their
operations, bailI9d the skill Of the Inapec-
tors . long lime. Since June / = number
Of complaints have .leacled the Depart
ment that registered letters passing be-
tween Salisbury and Albamarle, n. e.,
have been riilsd. Thee towns are con-
nected by Star route over which the
mails we're carried by George. Il. Esgle,
aged II.
Alter Il careful examination the iuspect-
ors concluded That Eagle was rcbbing the
mails. Dccoy letters containing marked
money we're placed in register pouch.
Upon Eagles arrival at the end Of the
route, the dt coy letters were found to have
been riiled snd Eagle was promptly arrest
I'd and searched. No money was found on
his person and tho inspector was forced to
release him ior lack OF evidence, though
confident OF his guilt. On tho night Of
his discharge Eagle bought q horss and
disappeared in the pine woodE.
Gome time aiterward, while digging at
the bottom Of a well on tho premises Of
one Almond, tho well-digger head Jethro
Armond, a lad Of 10 yoaES, confess TO bis
father that he hsd the money stolen by
Eagle. The father told his son TO keep
the money. Almond has formerly carried
tho mail oyer the same route. The dig.
ger informed the inspectors Of the facts and
Almond was arrested AID the proofs Of
the crime secured. Elgi0 WAS arrested
Yesterday in Kansas. 1t appears that
the boys met in the woods and opened
the pouches with homemade tools.
An old knife had been converted into an
exceedingly keen serviceable saw. With
ibis tool tho clasps Of the pouches we're
sey.-ed OH one side, bent back with
another inctrument and room thus se-
cuyed for tho insertion Of n hand into the
pouch. Tie Iettere werO skilltully opened,
the money abStrE0tej, and with the ald oi
a bottle OF mucilags the envelope neatly
sealed. Armond seems TO have Dsen tue
custodian Of the stolen funds. Inspector
Henderson says this was one OF the
cleyerest devices ios r0bbiug the malls he
had ever discovered.

a MrnnLn MYSTERY
In ChIcago-A alAu FOUND In the Lake Who
CNuuot be Identified.


CHICAGO, Sept. S-The dead body of a
man was found by the lake at the Indiana
avenue line yesterday. There was bul-
let wound in the back ofhis head and also
bruise on his righ. cheek. Several peo-
pie thought the body was that Of school
teacher named Mckinney, OF Wheating,
Ind, although his wife failed to identity
it. 1t is alleged that on Monday night
Mckinney assaulted two little Polish
girls, and as he has been missing since 1t
Is thought that he may have been MUIR
dered by tho friends OF the girls, who were
greatly excited over thesuppcsed assaults.
McKinney's wife gave no information Oh
the subject OF his disappearance, and the
matter as yet Is shrouded in lnystery.
The identity Of the man found dead is
still regarded by some people as by no
means settled. Several friends OF McKin-
ney called during the morning to look at
the remains, and though the features are
in sufficiently good state Of preservation
to make recognition no difficult matter,
they all said that the remains We're not
those OF Mckinney. The charge that
Mckinney had committed the assault on
the little girl Is to be substantiated, and
seems to rest mainly on common report.
The wife Of Mckinney declares positively
that the remains are not those Of her hus-
band.

WHEN Archibald Forbes visited CipCin-
natl ON his lecturing tour tho town did
not bow down as ono man 10 do him hom-
age. But he was shown come polite atten-
tons, among ether things being kindly re-
cciged in Mr. Probasco's elegant home.
In his new'bock "souvcnirs" Forbes
gives Mr.. Pfobasco and his art collection
a turning over. He declares that Mr..
Pfobosco has "a basement crammed with
the Interest impostures, with sham old
china, sham Etruscan vases, sham old mas
tes, and sham everything" OF his host
he says, "Behold this awful rubbish
and listen to the old hardware merchants
wailing struggles with art mysteries.'
This is not very gracious treatment of a
gentleman who has in his home paintings
aud sculpture by mauy OF the most renown-
cd artists, athoroughly representative col
lection Of what is best in art. Forbes writes
his criticisms with the heelofa troopers
boot. When he visits Cincinnati again
he is not likely to see the inside ola gen.
tleman's house. 1t cannot be that the En-
elish expect this kind Of thing OF their
bOokmakers.
