USED A GARDEN RAKE.
How a Trusted Employe Looted
the Philadelphia Mint.
He Has Confessed and Turned Over
the Gold, so the Government
Loses Nothing.

WASHINGTON, Sept I6-It is under
stood Government officers have captured
the man who stole S105.000 worth Of gold
from the mint at Philadelphia, and that
100000 worth has been recovered. The
name of the thief has not yet been dis
closed. 1t was an employe of the mint.
He used a common iron garden rake,
which he inserted between the bars of the
vault doors and raked the gold out. He
has been at work in this manner num-
Der Of years, but fortunately for the Gov
ernment and Bosbyshel's bondsmen he
boarded up the gold. iI is said, and on
being captured turned it over to the Off
cials.
Acting Director of the Mint Preston re-
turned from Philadelphia to-day and an
nounces that neither the Government nor
Bosbyshell will lose anything. The exact
facts in relation to the reported loss Of
gold bullion from the mint are stated at
the Treasury Department to-day to be
that, on account of the demand for coin,
the vault. in which Sl6.0OO.0O0 was stored
in 1887 by Preston, during the term
Of Fox as superintendent which
was receipted for by o. c. Bosby-
she'll without weighing. was opened
September and the bullion weighed by
Morgan. 1t was then found to be thirty
bars short. These bars were valued at
S134,0 900. Morgan at once reported the re-
suit 10 the Mint Bureau. and was directed
to return at once to Philadelphia and re-
weigh the bullion. On the second weigh
ing it was still found short. Since this
bullion was stored in the vault the weigh
clerk, an old employe of the mint, had the
sole custody of it, aud circumstances indi.
Gated that he knew what became of the
missing bars of gold. he was thereupon
charged with having taken it. and finally
admitted his guilt. He then furnished
information as to where over 100000 of it
was secreted.
This was recovered yesterday, and more
will be recovered to-day, as he has ex-
pressed a willingness to give it up. How
much more will be recovered cannot be
accurately stated, but probably between
$4,000 aud $1,000. It is believed the Treas
ury Department will lose nothing.

ALMOST ABANDONED.
Work Stopped on the San Diego
and Phoenix Railroad.
President Reed Disguised Because
Capitalists Did Not Keep Their
Word in Subscribing.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16.-All work has
been stopped on the San Diego and Phoe-
nix Railroad. This was in pursuance of an
order from President Reed and several cir
cumstances caused it. The main cause is
attributed by Reed to the apathy Of the
people of San Diego. and his remarks upon
the subject to-day were emphatic and true
He recalled the magnificent offer of one
prominent capitalist who offered to sub
scribe as much cash as any six of dozen
men and who, when the time came. backed
up his word to the extent of So in cash.
The idea of popular subscription of 81
mile was approved by Reed, but he claimed
that the total thus far secured was less
than could and should be subscribed by
any capitalist in the city.
The present hard times are not over
looked as a partial cause of the apathy of
people taking hold of The work. This.
however, Is al excuse which is not at all
sufficient. Another reason for shutting
down the work is the direct antagonism
of certain parties like the San Diego Land
and Town Company and other owners
along the line of the road, who demand an
exorbitant price for worthless land or
threaten 10 enjoin operations. Matters are
at statu quo regarding the injunction of
the land and town company. Local Off
ciais say they have no power to act apd
the arrival of President Braman is awaited
in order to learn If the town company will
continue its antagonistc policy. Braman
is expected to arrive from Boston during
the present month.
Three and half miles of track are laid,
and grading has been completed for a con-
siderable distance further. President
Reed received assurances while in the East
that bonds Of the company could be placed
at reasOr able figure when ten miles of the
track had been constructed.
ln the mean time it is likely that the
temporary shutdown will be permanent
unless a more substantial interest in the
project is shown by local capitalists.
