SYSTEMATIC TH[FTS.
Adams Express Company
Accuses Three Men of
Theft.

Three men are in Jail awaiting trial on
a serious charge of grand larceny that is
made by Superintendent Webster Depu of
the local station of the Adams Express
Company. They are:-Richard Murphy,
thirty years old, of No. 217 Brunswick
street, a clerk employed on the pier at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station; Toney
Broganzo and William Kane who were
arrested at No. SO Park street, New York
City. Murphy gave bail this morning in
the amount of $500 when he was arraign-
ed before Police Justice Hoes in the
First Criminal Court He will appear to-
morrow morning for examination. Kane
and Broganzo were held in New York
for further examination. The Express
Company believes that the amount of the
thefts will be between 1900 and $4,000.
A few months ago the Express Com
pany began to receive an unusual number
Of complaints about the loss of valuable
packages. Tracing failed to locate the
missing packages and for a time the de-
tective force of the company was puz-
zled. 1t succeeded after a time in prov
ing, to its own satisfaction, the fact that
most of the packages at least reached the
local station and were then lost to sight.
Therefore an investigation of the local
station was started.
Several detectives were put to work in
the capacity of clerks and they kept a
sharp lookout. Suspicion was factened
on Murphy, and he was closely watched.
Incidents Of Friday led the company
detectives to suspect that a package OF
silk which was addressed to Woonsocket,
Wis, was not to be delivered as intended
by the shipper That package was
watched very closely. and it was seen
that the original address was erased and
there was substituted for it the name OF
Toney Broganzo, No. 3S Park street, New
York city. The company then notified
Police Headquarters, New York. and De-
tectiye Weller was assigned to the case.
He went to No. 80 Park street and
looked the premises over. Then he took
up a stand on an opposite side of the
street. He was carefully concealed when

Mr.. ALLEN TO co.
Bergen Baptist Church Will Get
suocessor After He Leaves.

The Board of Trustees of the Bergen
Baptist Church has decided not to take
any action toward securing successor to
the Rev John c. Allen until after his
term expires on April l. On that date the
pastors resignation takes effect. He will
doubtless accept a professorship in a
Tennessee Theological Seminary. Several
of his closest friends vouch for this.
Some of the members We're inclined to
think that the pastor would attempt to
hold the fort against his enemies, but this
is not SO. Mr. Allen has brought his
friends over to his way of thinking. and
they decided to allow him to take his own
course.
1t is possible that a committee will be
appointed just before Mr. Aliens term ex-
pires to supply pastors until a permanent
clergyman is seured.

of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
I wish to Join ''B e. and Wv" in the
agitation to secure compliance with the
law of humanity and of the statute Of the
United States IN the matter of providing
seats for store clerks. I have personally
investigated this matter in a number Of
the large retail stores in this city. In one
store l found some of the clerks sitting on
packing boxes In two or three stores
seats were furnished, whether in adequate
numbers I cannot say, but think not. with
perhaps one exception. In a number Of
stores seats were furnished 1 do not
know that the clerks themselves are max
ing any great disturbance about this mat
ter; in fact, it would hardly be safe for
them to do So ''B. E." suggests that IF
the matter Is called to the attention of the
managers Of the firms. 1t will be sufficient"
1t may, but I have not found it sufficient
to cali it to the attention of the floor
walker. In one Of these stores mentioned
the matter to the floor walker and called
his attention to the statute quoted in The
Star of the 26th instant. That was months
ago. I am now informed that the clerks in
that store are still without seats. In the
same store mentioned the same matter
at another time to another individual.

Monument to Virgil.

In these times Of monument mania the
Idea OF commemorating some new person
creates no surprise. One proposal, however,
is OF exceptional Importance as it is to Vir-
gil. The monument, for which 100000 lire
has been collected. will be erected at Man
tua. the birthplace of the author of the
"Aeneid." This Is not the first time that
honor has been rendered to the famous poet
OF ancient Rome. Immediately after his
death Emperor Alexander severus put him
next to Plato. and the best artists COM
peted in reproducing his features. Mantua
honored him by putting hisI figure on her
new coins, with the words ."Virgilius Marc"
There was also erected statue. but 1t was
destroyed in 1897, in the war between the
houses or Visconti and Gonsaga. One cen-
tury after Isabella D'Este Indignant at
such vandalism, decided to erect a new
monument, but 1t never got beyond the de-
sign, now kept in the Louvre collection in
Paris. So for over 500 years the greatest
Latin poet has been without material honor
In his own country except for q bust here
in Rome on the celebrated Pincio. One
interesting fact In connection with the new
monument is that hitherto there has been
no authentic portrait Of Virgil in any form,
but two years ago. during Excavations In
Tunls, q portrait Of him was discovered,
80 that the Mantua monument will at least
have the virtue OF being correct

NEW FERRY ARRANGEMENTS,
Proposed Plan of Street Car Coupons
Attached to Tickets.

The projectors of the new company being
organized in Alexandria for the purchase
of the Alexandria and Washington ferry
line are much encouraged. as their efforts
to form the company are meeting with
considerable success. 1t Is believed the
necessary amount Will be subscribed, but
until this is done those in charge of the
scheme refuse to talk Of their plans. 1t is
known, however, that an effort is being,
or will be, made for a connection with one
of the street railway lines passing the
ferry wharf, by which passengers to and
from Alexandra will have street car
coupons their tickets good for rides
from and to the wharf.
Other plans are also on foot that will
greatly improve the service, and If the
new company is formed the people Of Alex
andria, it is claimed, will have better serv-
ice by water between the two cities than
it has ever had before.
Mr.. j. NJ Hill has had interviews with
nearly all the leading merchants of Alex
andria, It is stated and with few excep-
tions they have agreed to take stock in
the company. A subscription paper was
prepared last night with the names Of z.
S. Randall and j. NJ. Hill at the head. 1t
was submitted today to the merchants for
their signatures but with what success is
