POSTOFFICE BURGLARS.
Returns Are Not Large, but the
Risk Is Small.
THE ARREST OF ]. W. ELLWOOD.

He Downed Two Policemen Before He Was
Work Near New York-The Ted Kelly
Gang and Its Downfall.
One night in January of the present year
the inhabitants of the peaceful little town
of Ligonier, Pa, were awakened by muf-
fled sound of an explosion. Though muf-
fed, the explosion was loud enough to call
many OF the citizens to the street, and some
Of them encountered q man running away
with a pistol in his hand. To those who
made inquiries he answered coolly: TITS
none of your business why l am here or
who am. Your postofTice Is on fire, and
you'd better hurry up to put 1t out" SO
he was allowed to go his way. The awak-
ened citizens found that he had told the
truth, but not all of it. The postoffice safe
was empty. Some one had blown it open
by the unusual method Of boring a hole
through the top and pouring in enough
common gunpowder, when exploded, to
blow the door bodily out.
The fire was caused by the door upsetting
tho stove, the hot Goals from which had
ignited the floor The flames were not fal
enough advanced to prevent their speedy
extinction, and it was found on investiga,
tion that the thief had taken only about
500 worth of stamps and currency.
This was the first of a series of postofIice
burglaries in Pennsylvania which were at
tributed by the authorities to some person
who shortly became known as the king Of
the postofIice robbers. Besides Ligonier
Graceton, Blairsville, Irwin, Latrobe and
other places were served in the same way
Inspector Dickson of the postoffice depart
mont was placed on the burglars trail, and
after considerable investigation the official
decided that the robberies had all beer
committed by one man, and that man, as
the event has shown, was J. W. Ellwood.

His methods were peculiar. The only
burglars tool he carried with him was a
finely tempered drill of o five-eighths inch

porters, but Chicagoans are accustomed to
this sort of thing. One of the most anus
ing of the mayors recent performances is
thus recorded by the Chicago Record:
1t was just after luncheon hour when
Mr.. Harrison, with his overcoat thrown
across his arm, strobe along the corridor
and squeezed his way through the crowd OF
office seekers about his door, Alderman
Schumacher Alderman Brennan and sew
eral others with Alderman Ryan were close
to the door. Alderman Ryan greeted the
mayor respectfully. Mr.. Harrison frowned
at the alderman. Keep away, little Mike;
keep away, my boy, sayp remarked the
mayor as he raped on the door for admis-
sion. The alderman smiled as much as to
say; TITS only his way. l am solid with
him, as you'll see."
But the mayor did not regard the matter
In just that way, for he repeated "Gc
away, Ryan; go away. l won't see you.
You are against me, and everybody knows
itp Some one inside opened the door, and
the mayor stepped over the threshold.
Alderman Ryan followed, and when Mr..
Harrison attempted to close the door he
put one foot inside and defeated the may
or's attempt to bar him out Mr.. Harrison
looked down at the alderman and advised
him third time to go away.
His cigar had gone out during the CON
versatlon. He took a match from his vest
pocket, struck it and relighted his perfecto.
Alderman Ryan's head was thrust hall
way in the door. Mr. Harrison held the
blazing match in his right hand. The al
derman's whiskers stuck out in a suggestive
way. The mayor saw them, and he touch
ed them with the fiery match. The whisk-
ers were dry, and they blazed up and
cracked like brush In a bonfire.
The alderman felt his whiskers aflre,
and yelling 'Murderl" jumped backward.
A terrible smell of burned hair and smudged
cuticle filled the room. Alderman Ryan
tugged awey at his whiskers and put out
the flames. Mr.. Harrison paid no atten-
tion to the matter, He slammed the door
and went on with his work just as if set
ting fire to aldermanic whiskers were or
dinary municipal business.
Alderman Ryan left the city hall, vowiug
vengeance against the mayor, in search Of q
drug store and some sweet oil. Half the
office seekers left with him.

WAS IT MURDERER ROEHL
Five Young People Positive They
Saw Him in Hoboken Last Night.

There was quite some excitement in the
neighborhood of Jefferson street, Hoboken,
this morning, occasioned by the report
that a nvmber of persons returning home
last night from the benefit entertainment
at Ross's HobolSen Theatre saw person
in the backroom of August Hoops saloon,
Madison and Ferry streets, that very
much resembled Roehl, one of the escaped
murderers from Sing Sing. The enter
tainment was over at midnight, and these
persons were walking along Ferry street,
when they noticed q person poorly clad,
and imping as If his limbs were hurt,
stealing along among the pillars of the
elevated road He came from the direc-
ton of the West Shore depot at First
street, and some ten minutes before he
was seen a freight train had passed from
the north The persons, there were two
young men and three young ladies in the
parry, watched the man, his actions
arousing their suspicious. At first they
never thought Of Roehl but when they
saw the man watch an opportunity and
dash into Koop's saloon, they immediately
made no their mind it was the escaped
murderer. They stole over to the saloon,
but the proprietor Immediately closed his
place of business, tthey say, and a light
was only left burning in the back room.
One of the young men stole up and en-
1eavored tolook in, but the curtains were
drawn.
This morning they told neighbors of
what they had seen.
Koop denied the whole story today and
refused to say anything of his visitors last
night.

New York's greatest naval celebration
was begun today at the twin light houses

The Naval Veterans, Grand Army men
and Sons aud Daughters of the
Revolution formed a majority of the
spectators. Fifty naval veterans came
from New YORK City, under the COM
mand of Captain B. Osborn. The
monitor Miantononah lay close in shore,
ready to take part In the ceremonies.
The crowd gathered around The
national liberty pole, which Is 365 feet in
height, and was paid for by subscriptions
raised by veterans Of the war.
William o. Mcdowell. the Chairman Of
the General Committee, made an address
in which he referred to "gunpowder, the
printing press and the discovery IT Amer

peace. On the anniversary of some
one of the great peace events of
of this Nation the flag Of human

said, be placed upon this national liberty
pole, and thereafter will take the place
OF the United States standard in recog-
milton of the fact that this Republic Is
