This is the first American melodrama

betterment in tie condition of affairs
here. According to Mr.. Morphy, Eng
land is to-day financially the soundest
country On tho face OF the earth.

his turn to have the same receipted,
when of sudden man grabbed one OF
the bags and made for the door. The
poor messenger was SO bewildered that
he scarcely realized what was being
done until the man had made good his
escape. It is asserted that at least four
men were concerned in the robbery and
that the bag was passed from one to an
other, the last man getting away with
