BOLD ROBBERY OF
STEAMERS SAFE
Thieves Make Big Haul From
the Thomas CIyde'S
Strong Box

Some time between 10 o'clock
on Saturday night and 8 O'Clock
Sunday morning thieves boarded the
steamboat Thomas Clyde, lying at Arch
street wharf, Philadelphia They
broke open the cabin of Purser Job
Smith and appropriated a costly gold
hunting case watch. Then from the
pockets Of Smiths coat they took the
keys OF the safe, opened il, and took
therefrom $4,000 in notes and coin. Be
sides this they carried off everything
Of value in the room tney could lay
their hands upon.
The robbery Is puzzling the police Of
the Fourth district. Philadelphia who
arc investigating it, Daniel Sullivan
Is the watchman of the boat, and he
cannot account for the lOoting OF the
boat. He says that he always boards
the steamer when she ties up for the
night, and never leaves her until she
Is ready to leave for her trip.
Saturday night the Clyde had a great
crowd of passengers on board who
spent money freely, and it Is thought
possible by the police that the robbery
may have been committed by some
person or persons I'm this crowd, who
remained on board after the passengers
disembarked, escaping the vigilance OF
the watchman.
A suspicious robbery, one that may
have an important bearing on the case
In that it is thought by the police that
it was perpetrated by the same thieves
was that of the office of the Farmers
and Mechanics Steamboat Company
This Office. which is located about 10C
feet south of the Clyde wharf was en-
tered about o'clock yesterday morn
ing during the absence Of C. c. Boyer
the general manager of the company
All that the burglars obtained by this
daring act was a small roll Of bills
which was in the pocket OF a coat be-
longing to Mr.. Boyer and which he
had carelessly thrown aside when h,
had been called out.
Special Officer Redding, of the Fourtl
district, is hard at work on the cas-,
running down clues which he believes
will lead to the arrest of the thieves

Edltor Evening Iournai,

To the Editor Evening 1ournai.
Sir: Peaches, politics and hot wealth
er comprise the chief topic OF talk OF
the people in Sussex.
We never had a larger crop Of
peaches, and never had politics so
mixed, for the present situation in
bowl Of clabber. a little molasses and
small boy with a spoon.
We have Republicans, Union Repub-
LEANS, Bryan Democrats. Kenney
Democrats, Salisbury Democrats,
Biggs Democrats Democrats Of the old
school and Prohibitionists and Single
Takers in a small measure.
The two Republican parties have
made out their state tickets and have
left to each of their state committees
to do with each ticket that which will
be for the best interest and the sue
cess Of the Republican party in Della
ware at the coming elections. The
Republican party wants Republican
success in Delaware, and the sentiment
in this section Of the state is for one
ticket They cannot get what they
want because OF the attitude of Ad-
dicks, but we think too much depends
upon the future OF the Republican
party in Delaware for the Ad-
dicks leaders to throw away that which
is in the hands OF the Republican party
at this election. II seems to us that
the great bone Of contention in making
one state ticket is who shall be the
United States senators. That may be
and no better way to determine who
should not be United States senator Is
when that one blocks a United States
ticket Then there may be a question
and there is a question who should be
tho candidate for governor, thai
should be settled by both state com.
mittees as well as that Of the Other
candidates. Let the Democrats have
