R ROBBERS ABROAD
Store of S. g. Cullen & Company
Entered Monday Night
VALUABLE SILKS WERE STOLEN
The Amount, However, Not Believed
to Be Large-Police at Work on the
crime-No Clue to Robbers Yet Sc
cured.

[From Tuesdays Daily.l
Unknown robbers entered the store
of s. c. Cullen and Company last ev-
ening and as near as can be learned
by the proprietors, email quantity of
valuable silks was stolen, the
amount of which cannot as
yet be learned. The robbers
entered through a rear cellar win
dow, and dropping an elevator climb
ed up into the main floor, where they
went to the silk counter. The rob-
berry was not discovered until this
morning when the store was opened.
The police were notified and they at
once began an investigation. Up to a
late hour this afternoon no clue has
been discovered that would lead the
officials to suspect any one, and it is
generally believed that the deed is the
work Of professionals.
How It Was Done.
e. P. Barton, member of the firm,
was seen by a Courier representative
this morning, and detailed how the
work was done. He said the robbers
tore off the iron bars from a cellar
window, on the rear enl near
the Market street side Of
the building, and dropping down
to the level of the window, they
reached inside and tore off the fasten-
ings. Opening the window, the rob-
bers, went over to the elevator which
they lowered far enough, to permit a
man to climb through between the top
and floor of the main room. After
gaining an entrance to the main store,
the work of the robbers was easy.
They evidently had learned the posi-
ton of the goods for they apparently
did not disturb any other goods ex-
cept the silks. Mr.. Barton could not
put an estimate upon the amount of
silks taken, but he did not believe it
| to be large.
Tools Found.
When Chief Gray arrived on the
scene and after an Investigation of the
place where the robbers had entered
| had been made, brace and a handle
for a saw, with which the robbers had
probably opened the window, and torn
off the iron grating were found. No
marks were upon the tools and no
means of Identification is possible.
The police believe, however, they were
stolen from some blacksmith shop,
and that an owner will be found for
the tools before the day is over.
Robbers Were Frightened Off.
Mr. Barton believes the work was
either done late last evening or early
this morning and that the thieves
were frightened away before they had
accomplished their work.
James Cullen was in the store last
. evening for the purpose of extinguish
ing the lights, and as near as he could
tell nothing was disturbed at that
time, although he did not make close
examination of the store, and Of
course had no idea of looking fol
burglars.

PURCHASED A PARSONAGE.
First Presbyterian Church Secure
Eorbush Property for That Purpose

First Presbyterian Church Secures
Forbush Property for That Purpose.
[From Tuesdays, Daily.l
The Forbush property, corner Mar
ket and Cara streets, was purchased
by the trustees of the First Presbyter-
ian church last evening for use as a
parsonage by that church. The price
paid is not announced, but it is known
to be very fair one. Several other
pieces of property were under consid-
Grafton, but it was finally decided that
this was the most desirable for the
purpose intended. Immediate posses
sion of the property will be given to
the church people, and theladies of the
congregation will begin the work of
getting it ready for occupancy at once.
1t Is thought Rev. Stoltz and his fam
lily will be here some time next week
and it is hoped to have it all ready by
that time. The property is very desir-
able, and the house is large and mod
ern. 1t is located in one OF
the most desirable residence
neighborhoods of the city, and the
Church is to be congratulated upon be-
'ng able to secure such property for
It's parsonage.

WORK EIGHT HOURS.
This Feature of Mail Service to Be
Strictly Enforced,

Postmaster Lee is in receipt of the
following order relative to the eight
hour day for mail carriers, which ex-
plains itself The section which
states that when it is impossible for
the carrier to complete his work in
eight hours he will return to the office
such mail as he is able to deliver"
may work little inconvenience for a
short time, but it will undoubtedly
lead to the enlargement of the force
ere long. The first assistant says:
Washington, D. c., June 20.-The
Postmaster, Ottumwa, Iowa-Sir: The
attorney general for the postoffce de-
partment has decided that the proVi-
sion generally known as the forty
eight hour law, contained in the act of
congress making appropriation for the
postoffice department for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1901, is opera
tive only during the current fiscal year,
and can not be observed after June 80.
From and after July 1, next, therefore,
you will be governor in the admins
tration of your free delivery service by
the act approved May "a, 1888, which
provides:
'"That hereafter eight hours shall
constitute days work for letter car,
riers in cities or postal districts con-
nected Herewith, for which they shall
receive the same pay as is now paid
for a days work of greater number
of hours"
In view of the change in the law
the instructions of June 81, last, can
not be observed after June 80, 1901, but
the eight-hour law must be strictly
enforced, and you will SO arrange
your free delivery service as to bring
the time of all carriers within the
stances must any carrier be allowed to
exceed that time on any day.
Any authority given you for the EN-.
ployment of substitutes, under the for.
ty-eight hour law, to assist the car
riers in completing deliveries is here
by withdrawn, and after July l each
carrier will serve his own route and
where it is impossible for him to com,
plete his work in eight hours he will
return to the office such mail as he is
unable to deliver.
When carrier finds it necessary to
return mail on the last trip of the day
to avoid making overtime, he will re-
port the fact to the postmaster, super
intendent or timekeeper, and note il
on his daily trip report. with an expla
nation of his failure to complete deliv
cries.
The postmaster has the authority tc
make such changes as he deems adyis
able in his schedule, and to curtai
routes where 1T is necessary to do So
He should satisfy himself, however
that the carriers are working faithful
| ly and conscientiously. Any carrier
who is found guilty of lettering ON his
route, or unnecessarily expanding his
time, will be Immediately removed
from the service.

ing something like S24 Benson was
arragned before Justice VanBeek,
plead not guilty and was held until
Wednesday for his preliminary.
Just as the sheriff had taken his
prisoner back to Jail Watson came
rushing into VanBeek's Office, and
frantically announced that he had
made a dreadful mistake, that he had
found his money in his own pocket and
that everything was all right. In a
very few minutes the prisoner was
brought back and a very affecting
scene ensued between the two men.
OF course Benson was at once re-
leased.
The two men were friends, both
worked on the extra gang and they
roomed together at T. B. Lees on N.
Adams street. Sunday morning Ben.
son got up early and went out. Later
Watson in dressing could not find his
purse, which he knew he had the night
before. He at once suspected his
room mate and hurried to town, where
he told his story to the officers, result
ing in the arrest Of Benson.
After the trial as he was 60

hand in an unused coat pocket and
found the purse and money there. 1t
was very distressing occurrence and
it is hard to state which man feels the
worse over the matter.-tMt. Pleasant
