pamphlets in the army.

Detectives Believe the Robbery was
the Work of Employees.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. CD. S. Fothering-
ham, the Adams express messenger
whose car was robbed last Monday night,
is still in this city, aud has not yet been
arrested, though he ls accompanied
wherever he goes by a detective. He was
in close communication with the officers
of the company this morning and it was
given out that be was assisting them in
obtaining a clue to the identity of the
rObber. 1t is believed, however, that he
is being carefully examined by detectives
and the stories told by him at different
times compared, with view to
finding Inconsistencies and obtaining evI-
dence that he was accessory to the rob-
berry. Suspicion is expressed that several
employees of the express and of the rail-
road companies carefully planned the
robbery, with the knowledge of FOther-
ingham, and divided the money between
them. 1t was stated at first that the
amount stolen was slightly in excess Of
$4,000. but claims have already been pre-
sented to the company which swell the
amount to $Sl 600. A majority OF these
claims have been settled, and as soon as
the Others are proved they will be paid.

Narrow Escape.
Boston, Oct. 29.-The steamer Pavonia
of the Cunard line got ashore near Dux-
bury in a thick fog last night or high
pine ledge three miles north OF Gurnet
Point. She lies In very dangerous posi-
tion. The Pavonia sailed from Liverpool
for Boston Oct. 10. She is barkentine
rigged screw steamer Of 3,490 tons
hurthen. Gurnet Point, near which th e
Pavonia went ashore, is at the north side
of the entrance to Plymouth harbor,
Mass. The PavOnia has on board
90 cabin, AZ intermediate and
800 steerage passengers. Toe fog outside
ia very dense and the weather thick. A
dispatch announcing the disaster was re-
ceived about noon from Capt. WOolfenden,
master of the Pavonia, stating that mis-
vessel was ashore three miles northeast
by north of Garnet light, which is north.
east from Plymouth and east of DuXbury.
ON HIGH PINE LEDGE.
The coast map SHOWS that this calcula-
tion would place mis- ship directly upon a
nigh pine ledge. which IS considered a
very dangerous point. The telegram from
Capt. WOoltenden also stated that the
ship was all right, and asked that help be
sent to her. The tug Pearson was at once
dispatched to the scene. The Boston Tow
boat Company has since sent two of its
tugs to assist the Pearson. There is a
great deal of anxiety in the city about
the steamer. 1t is seen by the position OF
the vessel az given in the Captains dis
patch that she was a long distance out Of
her course, which is explained by
the fact that thick weather has
prevailed for three days and consequently
no observation could have been taken
during that period. 1t is supposed that
the Captain, as soon as he found it impos-
slble to get the vessel off, went ashore in
q small boat to the nearest point and tele-
graphed the situation. All reports from
that section indicate very heavy surf
last might and this morning at about 8
O'Clock when the steamer grounded The
landing of boats must have been attended
with imminent danger.
THE VESSEL FLOATED.
BosroN. Oct. %, II p. M.-The Pavonia
has been floated and is reported off Bos-
ton light. She will arrive up about 8
O'Clock in the morning.
