Four Thieves Cleverly Captured
Robbing the Lawrence Store.
Two Of the Quartet Worked as
Porters, One for 10 Years.
The Other Confederates Were an
Expressman and "a Junk Dealer.

-Sergts. John ]. O'Brien and
Clark. OF Inspector McLaughlin's men,
and Detective Madden, of the Old Slip
station. arrested this morning four men,
who have been systematically robbng
the Lawrence Cordage Company, of i6
South street.
The prisoners were all arraigned be-
fore Justice Martin In the Tombs Po-
lice Court and remanded until to-mor-
row morning.
They gave their names as Hiram Bar
ter. porter, thirty-eight years old. of
1893 Flushing avenue. Brooklyn; Hugh
Mcmillan, porter. ffty-eight years old.
Of $50 High street, Brooklyn; Richard
Kelly, hfty-three years old. an express
man, of 222 Cherry street. and jeremiah
Shea. a tunkman. sixty-six years old,
OF l27 Conover street. Brooklyn.
Porter Barter has been in the en-
ploy of the Cordage Company for nine
teen years, and was countedamong its
most Trustworthy employees.
Kelly and Mcmillan, Inspector Nc
Laughlin says are ex-convicts and have
been arrested by the New York police
for stealing bags of coffee in a down
town wholesale house some years ago
Then. as In the present case, they hired
out as porter and expressman, for the
purpose or robbery.
Mcmillan has been In the employ Of the
Cordage Company for only a few weeks,
but 1t Is known that his app earance at
46 South street. was the time when a
good many dollars worth of rope became
missing.
Last Thursday Mr.. l.. O 1vey. of the
Company, informed Inspector McLaugh-
lin that he was being robbed. Detectives
Clark and O'Brien and Ward Man Mad
den. completely disguised patiently shad
owed the store until this morning
O'Brien recognized in Kelly as an ex
convict. and results were awaited. The
Did and supposedly faithful porter, Bos-
ter. was unsuspected In the mean time.
When Barter and Mcmillan appeared
at the store this morning at lis o'clock.
the detectives were there in time to see
the two porters roll two big $500 coils of
rope out in front of the store and load
them into Kelly's express wagon, which
was on hand to get his load.
Kelly then drove off. followed by De-
tectives Clark and OBrien, still in dis
guise. The expressman drove to Brook
lyn and delivered the rope to Junkman
Shea. Detective Clark remained behind
and arrested Shea, while o. Brien
Swallowed Kelly across South Ferry and
arrested him in South street. In the
mean time Ward Man Madden arrested
Mcmillan and Barter. The latter broke
down when arrested.
1t WAS not yet known how much prop
erty has been stolen, but It Is believed
that the sum is considerable, for the
stealing has been going on for weeks.

BASEBALL CHAT.

AS they say on the race track. a
blanket would now cover the leaders In
the race for the pennant. The Bostons
are still In the van. with the Baltimores
only seven points behind and the New
Yorks nine points In the rear of the
Orioles. Through the clever playing Of
the ST. Louis team yesterday the leaders
were beautifully whipped, and they were
pushed back uncomfortaby close to Bal
tlmore and New York Very otter the
tai.-eni teams have an annoying habit
OF turning to and giving the leaders a
merry wallopng. Under the circum.
stances such as prevail Just now, these
things upset the incest calcula tons and
add to the excitement and interest Of the
game; Any little thing that St. Louis
may do to the Bostons to haul them still
further away from the lead. Of course,
would be gra tefuily appreciated by Bal
timore and New York. The Giants make
games OF the big score-board which tall

Accompanied by half the nobility of
Austria, went to the Carlsbad Springs for
the recovery OF his health. Six thousand
six hundred horses, so the town records
say, were necessary to convey the COM
pany to the place.
The virtue of the water is as great at
the present day as it was in the time OF
Charles H., and although the expense at
tached to journey thither is not as great
now as it was then, we are not all wealthy
enough to undertake it. For such the
virtue OF the Carlsbad Spring is extracted.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, obtained by
evaporation, containing all the solid con-
stituents of the water, can be obtained at
every drug store
1t is the very best remedy for catarrh OF

Ives, the Napoleon of finance. died here
last night He reached Ashevile about
two months ago from Florida, and has

In September, 1889. ives was brought
for trial before Recorder Smythe for over
issuing 5000 shares of Cincinnati. Hamil-
ton aud Dayton stock. The jurors an
nounced themselves unable to agree. lt
was believed that "a new trial could be or
dered, but Ives effected compromise
with his creditors at about6 cents on the
dollar. and got out of Ludlow street jeil
on March Is, 1890, after years incarcera-
Sion
He promptly went back to Wall street,
spent money freely, and for year Kept
the street in a state of nervous prostra-
tion by sending out rumors that he had
secured control Of this or that prominent
road. But i'm June 1891, he was attacked
by hemorrhages. and after that got out OF

saved plenty OF money from his wreck
and entertained lavishly. when he mar
ried Miss Lillian Gertrude Sears. comic

The old indictments against him had
been dismissed, and he declared himself
at peace with the world. In February,

with scheme TO control the Cleveland,
Akron and Columbus railroad, but he
failed 20 do anything with the plan, and
since tnen the public has heard nothing
