A BIG NAIL ROBBERY.

service-No Clue.
New YORK, July 27.-The postofiice in
spectors Of New York State, with the as
sistance of those along the entire line be-
tween this city and Portland, Ore, are
working on most mysterious and exten-
tensive mail robbery. Over fifty registered
letters were stolen from pouch sent from
the Portland postofiice TO New York city.
At the local postofiice very little could
be learned Of the robbery. Postmaster
Dayton is ont of town, and First Assistant
Postmaster Gillette said that he knew none
OF the details of the robbery. He only
knew that the pouch had been cut between
the Pacific coast and this citya that in
spectors were looking for the thief or
thieves. Shpt James, OF the Postofiice
Inspectors, is in charge of the case
The mail is supposed TO have been tam
pered with by some one connected with
the railway mail service, for had 1t been
done by an outsider the postofiice people
think that less discrimination would have
been shown in the selection OF the letters.
The pouch was in perfect order and
properly sealed when placed in the mail
car at Portland, Ore, on the 18th. inst
1t contained several hundred registered
letters It arrived at the Grand Central
Depot here aboard the fast mail train,
and the robbery was not discovered until
the pouch was delivered at the postoffice
The value of the contents OF the missing
letters is not known
