STAMP COMPANY ROBBED.
Kmployes Get Away With Forty Thou,
 sand Dollars.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.---An accident led to the exposure of gigantic com spiracy against the Scott Stamp and Coin company after the best of detec- tive talent confessed itself baffied. Liz zie McDermott, the daughter of re- spected retired fireman, was arrested and arraigned in the Jefferson Market police court charged with stealing a stamp valued at $75. Behind her arrest is story of wholesale and far reach ing system of theft by which the stamp company has lost between $40, ,000 and e5O, 900 within year. The girl was all employe of the company, but was not suspected. Several months ago the com pany put private detectives to work, but after spending considerable money and charging three emrioyes with thefts of various sums, they gave mp all hopes of finding the guilty parties. The charges made by the company against the ems ployes could not be substantiated.
 MT. Drummond, detective, found that mass of stamps had been stolen from the Scott Stamp and Coin company and sold to the John street company, of similar name. An employe of the com pany turned states evidence, and when Lizzie was accused of the larcenies she confessed. Later Mir. Calman visited Jefferson Market court with two em- ployes, a lawyer and countless affidavits, and Justice Voorhis gave him war rant. When Court Officer Connolly served the warrant the prisoner tainted. She nearly swooned again when she faced the justice. She was held in $500 bail. Other arrests will probably fol- Ioyy

There were rushes and willows in that place.
And they slutched at the brook as the brook

And the brook it ran its own sweet way,
AS a child doth run in needless play,
And as it ran heard it say,
