There were several falls, and many driv-

that there was less travel there gave the

MILLION
DOLLARS
STOLEN.
Burg|ariss Committed al tho
y. S. Stores in New York.
Two Men Are Arrested.

New York, Jan. 1.-Two arrests were
made today which brought TO light the
fact that for years a gang of thieves
have been systematically robbing the
United States appraisers stores at Chris
topher and Washington streets, These
burglaries. II is estimated, aggregate a
million dollars.
one OF the strangest features Of this
remarkable case il the fact that nearly
all of this burglsrizlng was done by la
borers employed I'm the building
Two OF them--James Vabinote and
Abraham Moses-were arrested by United
States Marshal William Henkel. Ten or
more are suspected, and there Will be a
number of other arrests.
Some idea of the value OF the things
stolen may be gathered from the fact
that nearly all of them must have been
carried from the building under the
thieves coats.
The articles must have been small ones.
That in few years their value amounted
10 "A million dollars shows that not much
cheap stuff was stolen.
In spite of the political recommendation
these laborers have detectives are sta
toned at the doors OF the stores, and no
one is allowed TO leave the building carry
ing "A package unless 1t is accounted for.
OF course, the vigilance OF these watch
men is relaxed at times, and valuable
goods must have been taken from the
building In bulk.
George X. Bidwell. collector of customs,
who has charge of the stores, said with
reference to the robberies:
For a great many years goods have
been missed from the stores. IL was
natural TO expect that among so many
laboring men there would he certain
amount OF petty larceny all the time.
no matter what the vigilance OF those
in control.
"A few months ago, however. we
noticed that the thieveries were very
much increased. Things were being
taken away by the wholesale, and
complaints were coming in from own
ers of goods In great abundance. de-
termined to stop this thing IL the
heads of half hundred men had
10 come Off"
When arrested Nabinote and Moses
were taken before United States Com
mi ssioner Alexander. He released Moses
on his own rcognizance. while Vabinote
was held In only $3.50 bail
This vas regarded as very strange.
When arrested -Vabinote had In his os-
session few bits OF majolica ware,
which experts say Is worth about 80 cents
apiece. None OF the stolen goods was
found In the possession OF Moses.
Colonel Swords. who conducted the in
vestigation OF the robberies. confirmed
| the statement that the goods stolen
amounted In value 90 a million dollars.
He said that most of the stealings were
of fine silk and linen wearing apparel,
| small crockery and bric-a-brac.

Monitor, which drove back the Merrimac after
the Cumberland had been burned and the other
ships of StrinSham's fleet had been scattered.
She rendered continuous service during hos
tilities on the Atlantic Coast blockade and
after the war showed the flag on peaceful cruises
in most of the ports of the world. For the last
