SIlas V. Hoffman. Albert W. Thomson
AID William Boyd. twenty-three. nineteen
ana seventeen years old, respectively We're
arrested in car a the Baltimore and Ohio
depot about 1870 o'clock today and locked
up on charge of larceny from the person
II IS alleged that they attempted to nick :
valuable diamond stud from the shirt
bosom OF Dr. Macmillan Lewson OF No Sf
Grove street. New York city.
The doctor was passing through the train
dt the Tune, and 1t is alleged that he was
Jostled by the defendants just before an al
tempt was made to rob him. Members of
the trains crew held the young men until
the arrival of the sixth precinct officers
when they We're taken to the station. Thav
had considerable money on them and one
OF them wore diamond ring.
On one of them the officers found o
pawnticket. The officers received fnfornoa-
ton that they had shipped Il Viking BIZ
cycle and vaise to Camden, N. ]. Later
III the afternoon the prisoners We're takan
to police headquarters. where Boyd was
Identified as Postal Kid" alias Henry

His picture is in the gallery at police
headquarters, and the record on the pic
ture shows that he was arrested not long
ago at Atlantic City and sentenced De.
malls of the charge against them were
,iidue ny 'iie PRISONERS, VINO say they be-
long in Philadelphia. DR.. Lewson left the
city today, but will return in time to APP
pear in court as q witness against the
prisoners Monday morning.
The police know nothing of the defend
ants other than the boy mentioned and are
inclined to believe that Hoffman did not
know either of the others
The young man. whose name was given
by the police of the sixth precinct as Hoff-
man, says his name is Hopping.
The mistake in the rame was made nv
the police. At headquarters he said he is
employed in one of the departments. and is
off on a leave of absence. When he was
arrested he said he was on his way out of
the city to visit his brother in Delaware
The police believe he is innocent, and he
will probably be released.

INCRININAT EVIDENCE.
BloOd-Stafned Garments Found I'm
Brown House at sIideII

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
Bo1DS, Nd, May 1S.-States Attorney
kiigour and Sheriff Thompson of Rockville
visited Slide,l. the scene of the Rosenstein
murder. today and found bloody garments
and marks of blood throughout the house
of John Alfred Brown and Wife. who are
now in Rockville jail. This with the other
evidence secured cOrrOborates the testimony
of Taylor, the captured murderer in Wash
ington. d. c.
Part Of an old dress and a pair of blood
stained overals Were found on Monday by
Deputy Sheriff Gibson and Attorney XII
gour, and Sheriff Thompson today found
other stained garments that were far back
in the walls of the house. An old drill was
also found that the piece of iron used in
numbering Rosenstein will fit into. and has
been seen in this drill by other parties.
There is not the least doubt in the minds
of the people here that the affair was plau-
ned by both Taylor and Brown In Tav-
Tor 5 testimony yesterday he stated that
Brown went back to his house after the
murder was committed. This fits in with
the fact that Brown did not get to work
until late that morning. giving as an ex-
cuse a light rain. Brown and his wife wera
arrested early, and this probably prevented
their getting all OF the bloody garments
away.
The garments could not have been placed
there afterward. as the house was secure ly
nailed up by man who was put in charge
Tor II he should be brought to Rockville
nor Brown and wife will be lynched, as ali
parties are anxious to see all parties con-
nected brought to justice

ed pay for Fostmen, recently passed by the
chamber of~depuues. about 500 postmen re-
fused to so. TO work today and later the
whole force. numbering 5000 men, went out
on strike. As result there were no mail
deliveries this morning. Even the embas-
sizes have not received their letters. The
men are standing. in groups outside the post
Office
Later the postmen held an open-air meet
ing around the post office and We're ad-
dressed by the under postal secretary NJ
Mougeot, who vainIy urged them to return
to work. The strikers responded by de-
manding an increase of pay
The post office was besieged by business
men this morning, who demanded their
letters. NJ. Mougeot has arranged for a
delivery this afternoon. The sorting is be-
ing done by clerks who have been placed al
the disposal of the post Office authorities
by the big commercial houses and banks
They are under the direction of the auxil-
larry sorters. The mail will then be deliver

The great question that is now being

The books and records of the regiment

vote their time to it alone.
Question of Their Reception
Another topic that has absorbing interest
for the district boys is the subject of their
homecoming to Washington and what
sort Of a reception will be arranged for
them upon their arrival. The five com
panies will in all probability, come home in
a body. so that it viii Toe d matter of small
difficulty to arrange for them.
There is every sort of mascot ana pet in
the regiment, from the jutea pronounced

that resembles rat more than anything
else, 10 the pretty and delicate Cuban deer.
The latter IA. ed badly the trip from
Cuba, however. q number OF them dying

and Cuban squirrel with wOndrous hushy

the regiment brought back with it a
Jamaican boy, a Cuban boy and a Spanish
deserter. so that its quarters just now are

From the St Louis Globe Democrat
A public test of the penetrating force OF
Mauser rifle, used by a Spaniard in the
battle of San Juan Hin. was made in Fort
Scott recently with startling results. The
rifle together with other relics OF the Span
ish army and navy of Cuba, was brought
home by Capt. A. NJ. Wilson of the 23d
Kansas.
A shot was fired at the smooth side of an
ordinary flatiron at close range. and the
ball penetrated the mark leaving a per
fectly smooth hole except that on the op-
pos!te side the iron was chipped off by the
bail as il went out.
Three shots were fred against a hard
steel AK blade. Two of them gouged deep
holes in the steel and the third effected an
entrance buiging the steel on the opposite
side.
