Easton, Pa, April 1O.--A man prominent
In railroad brotherhood circles said today
that while q strike of New Jersey Central
men was probable it certainly would not
occur as soon us predicted in many quar-
tiers. line chiefs of the brotherhDods are
now only feeling the pulse of the men, so to
speak; and even should it be decided to
strike, it will not necessarily follow that
the men will be called out. decision to
strike places the bends of the "Big Five
in more formidable position, and they
will be enabled to send an ultimatum to the
company.
Another matter that will delay strike is
the fact that the chiefs do not propose to
call out the men on only one line; but
should the Central employees be refused their
demands, every road controlled by the
Morgan interests will be tied up, II the
brotherhoods Gun brig about this result.
This would mean that the men on the
Lehigh Valley, Reading, Erie and Delaware
d Hudson would be asked to quit work at
given time. 1t is admitted that both sides
are sparring for points, ard before the crisis
comes an understanding will bs had.

Stolen From the Specie Room
of the Steamer Kaiser
. Wilhelm der Crosse.
MYSTERY Wells THE ROBBERY
Bullion Disappeared Between
New York and Cherbourg--
Gold Not Recovered, and
Thieves Not Known.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
New York, April 10.-The robbery at sea
OF the specie loom of the North German
Lloyd liner KAISER Wilhelm der Crosse
seems mysterious crime Apparently,
there has been a complete failure TO locate
either the missing gold bullion or the men
VIM took 1t, although the search of the pas
sengers and ship at Bremen again this
morning may furnish material for the in
designations. Three bars OF gold, aggregat-
ing in value s22. 100, shipped by the National
City Bank of New York. were stolen from
cHsk No. of the specie room somewhere
between this port and Chefbourg. The I'D
vices to Oelrichs & Co., agents for the COM
pany.. came In German, aud on the point as
to whether the specie room was broken or
entered by beating the lock admits of trans
lation either way.
At the office Of the North German Lloyd
ngents, this morning, the following state
ment was given to The Associated Press :
Three bars of gold, valued at $22. $50. were
taken from the specie room OF the Kaiser
wilhelm der Crosse somewhere between
here and Cherbourg. The bars we're taken
from cask No. 4, and we have no idea as to
how the robbery was accomplished. Our
advices are brief. and do not show how the
room was entered The gold was shipped by
the National City Bank of New YorF. We
unde stand ii was insured. hut tine question
of responsibility will be- passed upon later.
Inc ship Is due at Bremen today, and we
may hear further from there. We have not
recovered the gold. and this Office has no
knowledge of the thieves. The specie loom
IS u strong safe, one secured by patent
locks, to which there were but two keys.
The chief officer kept one key, and the
pnrser the other We will make every pos
sible effort to recover the money and catch
the thieves.''
The company has offered reward of
10000 marks for the return CT the gold.

DOVER ROBBERY.

Detective Ratledge Makes an Important
Discovery i'm Delaware County, Pa.
Detective james 2. Ratledge believes
he has made discovery which will
clear up the robbery at Andrew Freed
ulan s clothing store, in Dover, on tho
3lst OF last December, when a large
quantity of wearing apparel was taken.
The detective suspects William
Shockley. colored, who is in jail at
Media, Chester county, Pa. serving a
four years sentence, having been &C.
cused OF the larceny of chickens IN that
county, and an investigation is in
progress.
The detective went to Media iail
Tuesday, accompanied by Detective
Berry of Chester county, and ques.
TONED Shockley concerning the Dover
robbery, but the prisoner denied all
knowledge of the matter. 1t Ia believed
that no formerly lived in Dover. After
leaving the jail the detectives went to
house in Chester where Shockley
boarded and found there a cap and
some other articles which resemble
clothing stolen from the Dover store.
They also found some pawn tickets ard
with them located stolen property in
pawn shops in Chester and Wilmington.
From what has been. learned, De.
tective Ratledge is of the opinion that
on the night of the robbery the thieves
stole a horse and carriage in Smyrna
and drove to Dover and took tire plumber
in the carriage to some point from
which they atterward shipped it to Will
mington and Chester, in which cities
they disposed of most of it. If the de.
tectiye. secures the evidence against
Shockley he will lodge detainer with
the Chester county authorities, SO that
the prisoner can be brought here for
trial aftor completing his sentence at
Media.

press to the family OF our deceased
brother and friend our deepest SYM
pathy and ask that Gods richest bless.
ings may rest upon them in their
present bereavement; that we acknowl-
edge our great obligation to our de-
ceased brother for the faithfulness and
Christian zeal with which he served
this church during the many and trying
years OF difficult pastorate; that we
recognize in him tho founder OF this
church and while the great work of
lifting the financial burdens which
were incurred in the erection of our
church editlce was not accomplished
during his pastorate, we can yet say,
that there was breathed into this
church by and through his ministry
that spiritual life and that strength of
true Christian character which never
faltered in the hour Of trial and which
gave the foundation, without which.
the work of saving this church from
its financial embarrassment could never
have been accomplished. We cherish
grateful recollection of the great per-
sonal kindness and warm hearted sym
pathy which characterized our former
pastor in his personal relations with
the members of THU church and we
will ever treasure him in our hearts and
in our memory a. man who was great

pathetic and helpful in all his social
and personal relations, true man of
God, and a blessing to the generation
in which he lived.

When the Levy Court meets next Tuesday
it will have to add some names to those now
in the grand jury boxes, II having been dis
covered that when names we're placed in the
boxes last month, not enough were placed
there.
Under the law, the names of 100 respect
able and capable men must be IN the boxes
when the CLERK of the peace and prUthono-
tary come to draw the grand jury of "a
men. Although the Levy Court was engaged
through several days in preparing names, il
appears that only 50 were put in. Had a
grand jury been drawn, all its auts might
have been questioned, should the matter
have been brought to the attention OF the
court. 60
