ST.. LOUIS, July 30.-It is just learned
that a postal car which left New York for
st. Louis on June % had among its mail
q pouch for st. Louis which contained
about 500, 900 in money, and drafts, bonds,
checks and other valuable papers and
property valued at $50. 600. At Pittsburgh
the Far West mail was transferred and
passed into the hands Of Chief Clerk James
Ferald. The train, as usual, made q very
short stop at that place. and also. as usual,
the Chief Clerk signed q receipt for the
various pouches without inspecting them,
the time being too short to do 30. During
the run 10 indianapolis he found that he
had receipted for the st. Louis pouch
which was not in his possession, and which
probably had not been turned over to him
with the rest OF the mail. He immedi-
| ately reported a robbery, and detectives
have been working on the case ever since
without, as yet. having made any arrests.
II is believed the pouch was taken between
| New York and Pittsburgh by one or a
nu of clerks, who have since left the
service.
