A CLEVER CAPTURE.

Inspectors BarIo and PcndIeton Ar
 rest AdoIphus Colt on a Charge of
 Rihing the Mail-Thc Accused for
 Twenty Years an EmplOyc of the N.
 Y., N. HI. and HI. R. R.
 An important arrest was made at the depot about one o'clock this morning by Postofficer Inspectors Bario and Pendleton when Adolphus Colt was arrested charged with rifling merchandise mail bags. The case has been one of the most baf1ing that has come under the notice of the inspectors in some time. For over year various articles of merchandise, some of great value, have been missing from the mail bags. That only from New Haven bags were these articles missed but also from the Hartford bags and other cities. The case was reported to Messrs. Barrie and Pendle- ton who went to work with very few facts to work on. After vainly trying to locate the thefts in the postoffice the inspectors turned their attention to the Union depot They have been watching here for some had come in and the mail bags has been thrown off they saw Colt, thrust his arm into bag and drew out package. The man was caught in the act and was immediately placed under arrest. He was locked up at police head quarters and will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Wright. The penalty of the crime is not less than two nor more than five years in States prison. Colt has been employed as general utili ty man by the Consolidated road over twenty years, He lives at g Adeline street and has wife and two children ,one boy in the Lakeville asylum. The in spectors deserve much credit for the way in which they detected the criminal.

COMMISSIONERS INVESTIGATES,

The Board of Public Works Takes the City Engineer to Task-They do Not Want Him to Work Outsids oi His City Labers-A Committee Will Confer With the Park Cepamission, The city engineer was put through a rigid cross examination by the board of public works last evening and a long meeting was devoted to what they called an investigation of the engineering depart ment of the city. MT. Hill was asked to define what his duties were and how much of his time was consumed in their per formance. He stated that he averaged more than ten hours a day the year round, which he considered too much for profes- sional work.
 What the commissioners wanted to find out was whether the city engineer was not doing considerable outside work and the park commission getting engineering work from three or four men for one mans pay. Mr. Hill admitted that he did do outside work and it is customary thing for city engineers to do, who have any reputa- tion whatever. He said it was done how ever in extra hours. He said further the salary I received here, $200 per month, is no special object to me. My chief reason for remaining is the interest feel in the city work. do not feel that the city pays me in proportion to the work done
 MT. Atwater said the city engineer should devote himself exclusively to the city affairs, and if the salary was not suf- fcient, make it larger.
 It seems to me, said MT. Leigh, that there is some prearranged plan in all this talk. He said he was somewhat at loss to understand why young lady steno. grapher was present and by whom hired. Do these gen tlemen, he said, mean to put some else in place of MT. Hill by of fering him a sum of money for a salary he could not accept and confining him to the city work alone? I would like to know what it is all about.
 The facts about the park commission were not so clear but it was evident the board desired change in their engineer ing relations. MT. Leigh made a motion which was tabled for the time being that at the present arrangement with the park commission be continued until June 1, and then if they wish to continue it longer, to obtain permission from the court of com mon council.
 Later this motion was recalled, and as & substitute it was voted that a committee be appointed to confer with the park com mission on the subject of engineering. The mayor and president of the board will be that committee.
 MT. Dillon, the sewer inspector, was next called upon and he was asked to de- fine his duties. In the course of the con- versation MT. Atwood made the assertion that he believed number of catch basins had been built simply to give work for MT. Dillon's men. He further said he believed it unnecessary to hire an inspector over other inspectors at salary of S137 per month when these last named are capable of doing their work.
 It was nearly 11:30 o'clock before the meeting was adjourned, and it was evident that there was yet much of which the com missioners had in mind was undone. The assistant engineers will be examined at the next meeting.

THE mANIPUH MASSACRE.

Story of a Survivor-The Disaster
 Due to she Rashness of Chief Com.
 missioner Quinton-How Quinton
 was Arrested.
 CALCUTTA, April 29.-Mrs. F. St. c. Grinwood, the wife of MT. Grinwood, late British political agent at Manipur, who was murdered when Chief Commissioner James w. Quinton and the other British officials lost their lives, has arrived in this city. According to Mrs. Grinwood's &C., count of the Manipur massacre the whole disaster was entirely due to the rashness of Chief Commissioner Quinton in refus- ing to listen to sensible advice which was given him in regard to the negotiations be- ing conducted with the native chiefs con- corning the disposition of the Mahrajah. Mrs. Grinwood adds that the Brit ish have little right to com plain of the Senaputty's treachery inasmuch as the Senaputty (sec- cond brother of the depesed Mahrajah and chief of the Manipuri forces) was invited by Chief Commissioner Quinton to attend the Dunbar with the di- rect intention of taking him unawares and placing him under arrest without the bloodshed which would, it was supposed, have resulted from an attempt to openly arrest that chieftai:,. The Senaputty, Mrs. Grimwood says, in some way or other be- came suspicious of MT. Quinton's inten- tions, and consequently did not appear at the Dunbar. But the willy Manipuri, on the other hand, so we'll planned checkmate movement that, instead of allowing the British commissioner to arrest him, the Senaputty arrest ed MT. Quinton and his staff and it would seem by previous reports re- ceived, afterwards allowed the Manipuris to wreck bloody vengeance upon his captives. Mrs. Grimwood's story, which nobody seems to doubt is the true version of the events which led up to the Manipur massacre, has caused severe reflections to be cast upon the manner in which the en- tire Manipur incident has been handled from the time the Mahrajah was deposed down to the apparently inexplicable delay in pushing forward the British forces.

 CHICAGO, April 29.-R. P. Hutchinson, "Old Hutch," the veteran wheat specu- lator, has been missing since last evening. He bought a ticket to Florida and is sup posed to have left the city. His son, Charles L. Hutchinson, president of the Corn Exchange bank and ex-president of the board of trade, says his father has been mentally unsound for two years. A few months ago it was reported that MT. Hutch inson's fortune had been almost entirely dssipated in speculation. At that time a number of MT. Hutchinson's friends and his son tried to induce the old gentleman to give up speculation and lead a quiet life, but met with no success. MT. Hutch. inson's liabilities are placed at from s.. 900, 900 to s3 5000, 900, but his friends are | satisfied that his assets will more thar meet his oblipations

Teachers or American.


 Teachers of English are plentiful in this day and generation, but teachers of Amer ican are to be met with only at rare inter vals- In this city, however, there are sew eral of the latter who command good prices for their services, and who find ready employment at all times. Foreign ers who have been taught English in the schools of their native land find them selves completely at sea on their arrival here, and many of them who can afford it employ teachers to instruct them in learn ing the peculiar idioms employed by the Americans. The localism, especially, they find most perplexing to master, and the teacher must be well up on all the manner isms and slang expressions of the day. The bishop of the Russian church in this city has young lady employed to teach him American, and he finds it most nec- essary part of his education.
