Linkins. member of No. engine COM
pany, Commissioner Wight, who has
charge of the fire department. today ex-
pressed himself in a manner which will
be of much interest to the members of the
department.. Linkins several nights ago
was on watch when an alarm on the ticker
was received. The box was 264, but he
took it as 28, sending the company wrong.
and also failing to switch the alarm on
the house gong. He very frankly admitted
making the blunder, both to the foreman
Of the company and to the chief of the
department. and at tie trial entered q
plea Of guilty. explaining that the pause
between the number and 4 was so long
out, he labored under the impression that
the box was % instead of 264.
s In forwarding the case to Commissioner
Wight Chief Paris recommended that the
ton OF the offense would be visited with
more serious consequences. That recon-
mendation Mr.. Wight did not approve, in
dorsing the finding as follows:
Private Linkins frankly admitted. in
writing. to the chief his error In calling
the wrong box and his failure to switch
the alarm on to the house gong before
charges were prefer1ed against him. He
has not attempted m any way to deny

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md, March 10, 1893,
Despite the combined efforts of the rail-
road and express company detectives, no
clue has yet been obtained In regard to
the safe robbery which took place at the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad ticket office
early Friday morning, as reported in yes
terday's Evening Star. The officers who
are at work upon the case are confident
that the robbery was committed by the
same parties who burglarized the post Of
flee at this place New Year morning, and
who looted the Marlboro post Office late
in December. This theory Is supported by
number of circumstances. In the first
place, experts declare that the character
of work done in opening each of the three
safes Is strikingly similar. The tools used
in the New Year robbery and the recent
raid were stolen from the blacksmith shops
OF Bladensburg, which would indicate that
the burglars were thoroughly acquainted
with the LAY" of the neighborhood The
most significant fact, however. is that the
same two suspicious characters who were
seen New Year eve loafing near tool box
On the Alexandria branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad only a few hundred
yards from the post Office were also seen
at 1910 O'Clock Friday morning hiding be-
hind telegraph pole just in the rear of
the depot
A prominent citizen of this place. whose
name is withheld, came out on the train
which leaves Washington at 1901. He
alighted at the farther end of the platform,
and as he neared the station he saw these
men standing in the shadow of the tele-
graph pole. One was a tall man, wearing
a storm overcoat and slouch hat. His
companion was rather short of stature and
a much younger man. The townsman
started toward his home and had reached
the crossing, when he heard footsteps be-
hind him. Turning. he saw the two men
following in his wake. He stopped abrupt
ly, whereupon the two turned and went to-
ward the station.
The description of these parties tallies
exactly with that of those who were seen
New Year eve by Baltimore and Ohio
railroad engineer and by several citizens
of this place.
The authorities are also of the opinion
that these same parties are the perpetrat-
ors of some thirty-six safe burglaries
which have been committed in Virginia
and the surrounding states within the past
few months.
The officers who are working up the case
are deeply interested in the task before
them Their blood is up, and the most
strenuous efforts will be made to run down
the gang.
