A BOLD ROBBERY.
THE RESIDENCE OF AU6SSf PESTINGBR
ENTBRRD BY BURGLARS,
And About One Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollar
IN Cash Taken-Pasy 0Donnsll, Ono Of the
Gang, Safe in Jail.

Our local gang of burglars is again az
work.
About half an hour after midnight yes
terdsy morning party of four men en-
tered the residence of Mr.. August Pest
niger, the Elm Grove ssloon-keeper, and
looted the premises, carrying of In the
neighborhood of one hundred and twenty
five dollars in cash.
The entrance was effected through a
window into the bedroom occupied by Mr.
Psstinger and his wife, and the gang
seem to have worked with the utmost con-
fideuce in their ability TO carry out their
programme, for all entered the room, pass
ing right by the bed where the couple was
sleeping, and going to bureau in which
the money was kept, opened the top draw
er with skeleton key or shoe-buttoner,
and removed the money.
Abont the time they had secured hold Of
the cash, AMI were preparing to devote
themselves to something else, Mr.. Pestin'
ger awoke, and quickly realizing that
strangers were in the room, he secured his
revolver. The quartette of robbers broke
for the window and piled out pell-mell,
being folloy we'd by bullet from the revolt
yer of the proprietor of the house. The
men, howe yer. succeeded in making their
escape, bat not until all had been recog
nized by Mr. Pestinger. A hurried exam
ination showed that the money had been
carried off, but that a gold watch had been
overlooked, and then Mr.. PestDger await
ed, with what patience he could summon,
the arrival of daylight.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Pestinger mar
rated the circumstances of the robbery to
Prosecuting Attorney Jordsu, and said
the apparent loader of the party was Patsy
O'Donnell, a well.known crook, and q
man who has served o term in the pen fol-
robbery. He said O'Donnell had been
hanging around Elm Grove ever since the
food, and had been in the saloon the
evening before the robbery, on this visit,
or others previously made, evidently OBJ
tanning the data necessary to enable the
party to lay their hands right on the
money.
Mr.. Pestinger came into the city in
company with Mr.. Jordan, and swore out
warrants before Justice Ankle for the four
men implicated in the affair, and soop
after this had bsen done. Mr., Jordan saw
o. Dounell going by the Justice office,
arrayed in new suit of clothes, hat, and
shoes, and pretty well tanked up with
liquor. Mr. Jordan at once arrested him
The first thing O'Donnell said on being
arrested was: "You think you're smart,
don't you. You think Pm going to
tell on them other fellows, do you?'
O'Donnell was taken bafore the Justice,
and promptly committed to Jail. On his
person was found $13 in money, pre-
somably portion Of his share of the
sweg.
O'Donuell is good for a second trip over
the rosd, and it is to be hoped his COM
pauions in the crime will be caught in
time to 20 with him.

AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 3l.-A question has been raised as t. whether Gen. w H. Sew ard, who was seierted as presidential eector at large by the Saratoga convention, can act i'll that capacity. Con. Seward is the presi- dent of state bank, but he is also a director ill a couple of national banks, and it is suggested that no person holding office under the United States government can be an elecror, Local lawyers who have been asked about the case find no law bearing on the subject, but it is clearly recalled that four years ago several gentle men in different states, who had been selected electors, and who were connected with national banks drew out of the political race rather than test the question. When seen to- day Gen. Seward declared that he had never heard the question raised, and said that if being a national bank director would dis qualify him from being an elector he would resign the directorship.

They complain that he ia an autocrat, and declare that be is rapidly destroying the efficiency of the service As sistant Commissioner James Monroe has al ready resigned, and others will shortly send in their resignations MT. Monroe is one of the ablest men attached to Scotland Yard, and it was through his untiring efforts thai the various plots of the dynamiters, during the jubilee celebrations and at other times were foiled- There is much feeling about the retiring of these officers and 1t is not Improbable that the home secretary may find that Sir Charles Warren is more avail. able in some other position
