DARING POST
OFFICE ROBBERY
Robbers Secure $76,oo8
Worth of Stamps
FROM THE CHICAGO POsT-OfFICE.
Carried the Booty Away IN Wagon
Deed Committed Almost Under
Noses OF Workmen.

Chicago. Oct. 21.-A robbery which
netted the. perpetrators $76, 06S in
stamps, was discovered here this morn
ing when the wholesale stamp depart
ment of the postoffice was opened for
business.
A rapid investigation developed the
fact that the burglars had crawled
under the flooring for about 300 feet
bored hole in the bottom of the
ault, secured the stamps and escaped,
carrying their booty in wagon.
The work of forcing an entrance to
the vault had evidently been going
forward with the greatest patience for
many days. 1t is believed, however,
that the intention of the thieves had
been to enter the cashiers vault. in
which there were $35, 600 in money,
and stamps valued at hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The bottom of
the vault is steel, half an inch thick.
In this ninety seven holes were bored
until space eighteen inches square
just enough to allow the entrance of a
mans body-had been SO weakened
that it was possible to take out the
whole plate with little difficulty. A
dry goods box stood over the hole thus
made and concealed the work of the
robbers while it was in progress.
So carefully had the job been planned
that men working in other parts of
the building had not the slightest ink
ling of the daring robbery being
worked almost under their noses.
The robbers drove up to the south
seat corner of the postofice building
in a wagon. the tracks of which could
be seen plainly to-day. The building
is temporary affair, and the men had
only to open little door to admit them
selves under the flooring To reach
the vault it was necessary to crawl
about 300 feet over odds and ends of
boards which Uttered the way. The
route evidently had been carefully
studied. for detective who went un-
der to- day without knowledge of loca-
tions became lost and was nearly over
come by foul odors before assistance
reached him.
Having secured their plunder, the
robbers loaded it into the wagon, drove
across a vacant lot and turned into

building.

MISSING GIRL FOUND.
Miss Noonan Says She Left Home
Because of Mistreatment.

Nashville, Oct. 1S. Miss Theophelia
Noonan, the 19-year old daughter of
State Factory Inspector Martin j.
Noonan, who disappeared from her
home, 1917 North Market street, Tues
day afternoon, was found early last
evening in building across from the
police headquarters, where she has
been since she left home The girl
was locked up at the station house last
night. She claims she left home on
account of mistreatment on the part
of her parents, and that she would
rather remain in Jail than return
home.
The parents of the girl thought she
had been abducted and gave the
police the name of young man named
R. w. Quick. When the latter learned
the police were looking for him he
reported at the station-house and ex-
hibited letter written to him by the
girl, in which she told him where she
had gone. Through this letter Lieut.
Cartwright located the girl. Last
night Noonan demanded that Quick
be held, stating he would secure a
warrant for him. This he failed to do
and at ! 1 o'clock he was released. The
father thinks he had something to do
with the girls leaving home and or
dered that she be held hoping she
might tell something to incriminate
young Quick. At midnight the girl
was still at the station house and in
tears

The CRYING EVIL.
DR.. Kelley breaches Against the
Thii st for Entertainment.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct 81. The Kew.
Dr. D. G. Kelley, presiding elder of
the Methodist Church in this district,
and who has for years been one Of the
most prominent ministers in this con-
ference, Sunday morning and evening,
at two of the leading churches in the
city, gave vent to caustic criticism
of the amusements which are now at
tracing the attention of Nashvilles
citizens. He made SON sharp reference
to the grand opera to be given this
week, and laid great sCress on what he
considered the crying evil of the times,
the thirst for entertainment. He re-
viewed "Quo 'Vadis" at length, and
said that it was an example of what
the consuming thirst for amusement
would finally lead to. He thought
horse shows where they were given as
a means tending to deveolp better ami
mails, were not so bad, but severely
criticized horset shows where the
horses are the smallest part of the
affair The grand opera was cited as an
instance showing the trend of affairs.
A great public institution, he said,
could not be paid for by raising sub
scriptions, but an entertainment would
bring all the people out.

Dean Lee, Formerly of Columbia
Says There is no Wrong in
attending.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 90. Christ
Church Cathedral was crowded to-
night when the dean of the Cathedral
the Rev. Baker p Lee, preached by

last Sunday morning. Many Of the
most prominent men in the city in
various callings were present Dean
Lee contributed So to the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association
on account of its liberality, and also
Thomas W. Lawson s liberality toward
the charitable institutions of this city.
He also attended the trots, as did DR..
Mueller, the pastor of the First Pres
byterian church. The action of Dean
Lee drew from President McGarvey.
of the bible College. of the Christian
Church, a bitter attack, in which Dean
Lees conduct was referred to as i'm
pious.
Last Sunday Dean Lee preached a
sermon which was vigorous reply to
President McGarvey. 1t created a
profound impression in the local relig-
ious world. and so strong was the de-
mand ON the part of prominent citizens
that the dean agreed to repeat the ser
mon. He argued that there was moth
ing wrong in attending trotting races,
and also that man could be a Chris
tian and at the same time a horseman.
He denounced the hypocrisy of many
so-called pious men, and said there
was as much charity among horsemen
as among churchmen. He spoke of Ed
Geers as an example Of rugged honesty

that Prof Mctiarvey will reply to him.

SERIOUS CHARGES
Against Rev. B. A. Cherry, a MethO-
dist Minister,
OF Lebanon Charged with Burning
Houses to Get Insurance
Money.

Nashville, Oct. 10. The committee
appointed to investigate the rumors
affecting the character and standing of
Rev. B. A. Cherry, pastor in charge
of the Methodist Church at Lebanon,
did not go to Mont Eagle, as was in
tended. but was in session all of to-
day at the Methodist Publishing House.
A great mass of evidence was taken
and the committee as whole decided
that it was not necessary to go to Mont
Eagle but Rev. w. I. Haggard, pre-
siding elder of the Lebanon district,
who presided over the committee, and
Mr.. Cherry will 90 to that place Mon
day to take the statements of the wit
nesses to be used in trial of the case
at conference.
When the committee concluded its
investigation the evidence was all
signed up properly and sealed, to be
turned over TO the conference, and
while the committee did not--and un-
der the church law can not-give out
the result of their findings, it is un-
derstood that trial was deemed nee
essary, and hence the intended visit to
Mont Eagle by the committee as a
whole was abandoned
The charges are of the most serious
character. Cherry is accused of burn-
ing two houses, one at Estill Springs
and one at Mont Eagle. 1t is claimed
that he represented the Estill Springs
house to contain valuable furniture,
when, as matter of fact, it contained
boxes, chests. etc., filled with kindling
wood, old glass and other waste. He
still insists that he is innocent, but has,
it is said, withdrawn all claim to the
insurance on the Mont Eagle home,
and. it is further alleged, has secured
the repayment of the II, 200 insurance
paid on the Estill Springs house.
