EVANSVILLE, October 30.-About four
weeks ago Mr.. 7. jefferson Bradenbaugh en-
ployed a young man who claimed to be from
Philadelphia and gave his name as John AL
lison. lie performed his duties to the salts
faction of Mr.. Bradenbaugh and gradually
won his esteem. 1t would appear, however,
that he was ''playing possum," and awaiting
his chance. 1t came on Tuesday last
The McKendree Mite Society, of which Mr..
and Mrs Bradenbaugh are active members,
met that night at the residence of Mr.. Milton
Meade, several miles distant, and they left AL
lison in charge of the house. AS they depart
ed, the young man suggested that they had
better lock the house and take the key with
them, as he would have no occasion to leave
during their absence. He was removing his
shoes at the time, evidently preparing to retire.
Mr.. Bradenbaugh adopted the suggestion and
when he aid his wife returned at a late hour,
glance revealed the hat and coat usually worn
BY Allison, hanging in their accustomed place,
and they retired. On Wednesday morning Mr..
BradeL baugh called the man as usual and re-
ceiving no reply made an investigation. To
his surprise Allison was no where to be found,
and a hasty search revealed the fact that he
had not gone away empty banded. BY some
means he had entered Mr. Bradenbaugh's
room and secured a sum of money amounting
to nearly or quite one hundred dollars, and
skipped. The money had been paid to Mr..
Braden baugh for some cattle lately sold and
Immediate pursuit was made and Allison was
traced as far as Columbia, Pennsylvania,
where the chase ended.
