Another Express robbery.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28-Thirty thousand
dollars in cash disappeared from q safe of the
Adams Express Company two weeks ago, and
since that time the operatives of Spittalls De-
tective Agency have been endeavoring to un-
ravel the mystery connected with the robbery
Circumstances pointed to Ralph Pratt clerk in
the Philadelphia Office of the company as
the purleiner of the cash. and on
Wednesday last he was arrested by Detective
Spittall. After preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Durham, Pratt was locked up for
further hearing on Wednesday. Pratt stoutlv
protested his innocence. On Thursday, the 10Th
instant Pratt and another clerk. named Heath
went to the Pennsylvania railroad Office to OBJ
tain the money which the company sends
monthly to ShRmokin, Pa, to pay the men en-
ployed by the Mineral Mining Company The
amount was $32 COS The entire amount was
taken safely to the Adams Express Company's
ONCE, No. 662 Chestnut street, and was regularly
way billed by Chief Clerk Crow, of the money
department., who placed the money in one of the
small iron safes used by the COM
baay, and directed Pratt to send it.
The instructions were carried out and the
safe left the Office of the company bearing the
many seals which the system demands to IRE
vent valuables from being stolen and the seals
replaced along the route. When the safe arrived
ut Shamokin the agent at that place, in the pres
ence of three or four persons, broke the seals
When the safe was opened the only money in it
was So 900 in silver An investigation was be-
gun at once, and clerk Pratt was the only inter-
bsted party whose explanation was not satisfac-
tory The detectives think that it would have
been impossible for any one except their pris-
Dner to have purloined the money

? New YORK, Aug. 28-General Superintendent

River railroad, received a communication to-day
from General Assembly No. 65, Knights of La
Dor, demanding an increase of IL per cent. in
the pay OF all the men employed along the line as
trackmen, trainmen and switchmen. Mr.. Depew,
the president of the road, is now in Paris, and
will not return until the middle Of next month.
Mr. Toucey said no definite action would be taken
in the matter until Mr.. Depew got back. He
declared there was no danger OF a
strike. The demands of the men, IL granted
will affect the pay of over 1000 men, and will
make difference in the payroll of the company
of not less than 81, $780, 600 a year. The men,
Mr.. Toucey says, would be met in spirit of
friendliness and attention will be given to their
request. Among many bulletins sent by Mr..

Fitz-John Porter at the Second Bull
Rum.


From General Pope's description of
the battle, in the January Century, we
quote the following: ''In this battle (of
August 29) the Fifth Corps, under Gen
eral r. j. Porter, took no part whatever,
but remained all day in column, with
out even deploying into line of battle or
making any effort in force to find out
what was in their front That General
Porter knew of the progress of the bat
tic on his right, and that he believed
the Union army was being defeated, is
shown by his own dispatches to Nc
Dowell, several times repeated during
the day
Not the artillery only, but the vol
leys of muskctry in the battle were also
plainly heard ON their right and front
by the advance of Porter's troops much
of the day. In consequence of his be-
lief thst the army on his right was be-
ing defeated. as stated in more than one
of these dispatches, he informed Gener-
al Mcdowell that he intended to retire
to Manassas, and advised Mcdowell to
send back his trains in the same direc-
ton.
For this action, or non-action, he
has been on the one hand likened to
Benedict Arnold, and on the other fa-
yorably compared with George Wash
ington. presume he would not accept
the first position, and probably he would
hardly lay claim TO the second. Ger
tainly | have not the inclination, even
had | the power, to assign him to either
or to any position between the two; and
if he were alone concerned in one ques-
ton, should make no comment at all
on the subject of this day. Many others
than himself and the result of battle,
however. are involved in it, and they
do not permit silence when the second
battle of Bull Run is discussed"
