'sesked for change for s. bill, so as to To-
cate the money drawer, as well as get it
unlocked before they rushed in on the man
in charge of the office. But they declared
that Sparks injuries were not the result
Of iron knuckles or a slung shot being used
on him, but a bump inflicted by contact
with the vault or something equally hard.
On center table near the money drawer
were over 5000 in envelopes for the letter
carriers, yesterday being their pay day.
Although 1t was in trays that could have
been easily carried off, it was not touched.
Sparks thought this was because these en-
velopes were covered by a newspaper.
There was a much larger amount still in
the vault, which was open, and which was
not touched. The detectives referred with
suspicion to the door in the screen being
left open at a time when the assistant
cashier was alone with 1867 in his own
drawer, another drawer equally full, So, 600
on the table in envelopes and the vault ac-
cessible
Sparks described one of the robbers as a
small man with a dark coat, wearing a
black muffier, and the other as a large
man wearing "a long black overcoat, and
having black mOustache. They left the
screen door open, he said, just as they
found it.
Sparks was arrested last night, and
shortly afterwards confessed that he got
away with the money himself. He was
short S2S6,3O, and was to settle us soon as
Cashier Tucker returned from lunch,
when he knew he would be caught. While
Tucker was lunching Sparks took S5S3. 6S
from the drawer, put the $562 in bills be-
tween the leaves Of a magazine and $21 .6S
in coin in an envelope, hiding both. After
his confession he told where the money
was, and 1893. .6S was recovered. Sparks is
married and belongs to good family.
His friends will make up the shortage of
S283, but Inspector salmon says that will
not save him from prosecution.
The postofIice building adjoins Foun-
tain Square, in the center of the city,
where the streets are always crowded dur
ing the day. The fact of an alleged day
light robbery in such locality had much
to do with the local excitement.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Jan. 4.-The trouble
here is not ended, Notwithstanding tenn
porary compromise in the 119-inch mill.
The temporary settlement was effected by
the company agreeing to allow the men
110 tons day, whether that amount was
worked or not. The men are inclined to
kick over the traces, because they would
get pay for only 10 tons, even if 1l5 were
turned out, and it is question whether
they will accept the compromise, which
gives the shearsmen's helpers $160 a day
whereas formerly they earned between a
and 50. Aside from the trouble in the l19-
inch MILL a number of the others are shut
down because, the men say, not enough
signatures to the scale have been secured.
At Braddock, where the ore handlers are
on strike, the company's ultimatum was
made known. and out of 400 men present
only six voted to accept it.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Owing to the re-

man of the Kicks investigating commit
tee, no report has yet been prepared for

to make report makes the outcome of the

certain. The question is likely to be de-
cided somewhat on party lines, with the
Republican members as supporters of
Judge Ricks and the western and south
ern Democrats favoring censure or inn
peachment There is little probability that
the matter will be carried to conclusion
