BURDEN TO HEAVY.
Gene Phillips Conesses All About Postofcc RobberyRetu
Money and Stamps to OficerUnder $1,000 Bond.Incrm
mating Letters Found in the Prisoners Pockets.

1t was becoming dark in the county
Jail Saturday afternoon when Mrs, Col
den Reese, sister OF Gene Phillips, the
young man who robbed the Grand juno,
ton postoffice, arrived there. On seeing
her brother behind the bars OF the corri.
dor Of the Jail she was 80 overcome with
emotion and sorrow that she tainted and
it is unquestionRble that the collapse Of
his sister and her evident great SORROW
was responsible for the confession which
came soon after to Deputy Sheriff George
Smith.
The confession of guilt was brief In
part it was as follows: Phillips said that
he made all preparations and took the
money from the registered letters and
abstracted the money and stamps from
the stamp drawer before he left the Of
fee for his supper at the Pastime restau
rant. After eating his supper he played
q game OF billiards and thea returned to
the postoffice at about IA quarter OF
o'clock. When he came back to the
postotiice building he broke out the pan
ell OF glass in the door leading to the pri-
vate oftice OF Postmaster Price.
When he started to rifle the registered
letters in the pouch, he said that after
he had torn open the first letter he al
most lost courage to continue the job.
But his evil spirit prevailed and he took
what money there was in the pouch.
$40 OF this money he hid in the mattress
upon which he slept, and pinned up the
rent hs had made to insert tho bills.
The stamps he brought to the outside
and hid under the bootblack stand in
the alley at the postoffice. The small
silver coin he took and tied in the towel
and flung up on the water receptacle in
the closet, where it was found.
After his confession had been made
Deputy Sheriff Smith accompanied him
to the postofiice and he produced the
stamps and also told where he had placed
everything which he had abstracted.
When Phillips had unburdened his
mind of the details OF his thievery he
felt much better, although looking very
pale and haggard.
When he was brought to the postoffics
by Deputy Sheriff Smith, A. P. Smith
ers, postoffice inspector, had just arrived
over the narrow gauge in response to a
telegram from Postmaster Price. Phil
lips was then taken TO the Grand Hotel
where he wrote out detailed confession
OF the crime he had committed, signing
his name thereto.
At about $3.50 he was taken before U.
8. Commissioner Joseph L. Sweeney and
The daily sentinel., 1902-01-27

a preliminary trial or, hearing was had
and he was bound over to the U. S. dis
trict court in the sum OF $1,000, which
OF course he could not furnish. and he
was then remanded to Jail to await the
arrival Of directions.
Gene Phillips has resided in this city
for 4 nuYbef Of years and has been con-
s,dered quits, a popular young man. He
has workeAat various places in the city
and bis ffsbility and cheerfulness al
ways wonl many friends and customers
for those .foEfwhom he worked.
When tht tiexcitement over the Espano-
American var was at Its height and
Phillips WIS working at The Sentinel Of
fee. where the war dispatches were re-
ceived exclusively, he imbibed the spirit
OF the var, went to Denver and enlisted.
From There he was transferred to Tam
pa, Forida, and went with the Seventh
cavalry to Cuba. He remained there
several months and through the inter
vention of Senator Teller obtained his
release, he not being Of age.
He returned to this city and for . time
was first lieutenant of Troop A. he
was for time in Salt Lake last summer
and few months ago returned to this
city and on account of bis war record
WAS able to secure the position as clerk
in the postoffice.
1t must be conceded that the work OF
thievery was the most bungling that
could have been perpetrated. Tho
boy seemed to be cunning up to GER
tain point and then his cunning depart
cd.
There are nothing but kindly words Of
pity and sorrow spoken for Gene Phillips.
That he has 80 badly spoiled life, which
had much in store for it, causes the
pity. The sentence will DOT be less than
five years at the minimum. He may
como from prison walls a better and
stronger man, yet this could have been
accomplished without the walls Of a pri-
SON.
The act committed by him and the
swift retribution which has followed
should be warning to a number Of
swiit(O boys who pride themselves ON
there cuteness in this city.
There is considerable talk on the
streets today about other parties being
concerned in the robbery. Partially in
elimination letters were found on Phil
lips Saturday. The officers are working
hard on the slight clue secured.

A COLD YEAR,

In the year of 1876, eighty-sX years ago, there was sharp frost in every month of the year in the northern states. It was known as the year with out a summer. The farmers used to re- fer to it as eighteen hundred and starve to death. In May ice formed half an inch thick in Hartford, buds and fiow- CTS were frozen, and corn was killed in the adjacent towns. Frost ice and snow were common in June throughout Connecticut, and the snow fell five inches deep in New York. and ill Mas sachusetts ten inches on June 19. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the 5th ice formed to the thickness of window glass in Canton, Conn.,, and throughout New England and Pennsyl- vania was nearly all destroyed in many sections. In August ice formed half an thick in L:tchf1eld. A cold northern wind prevailed nearly all summer with heavy rain falls. Corn was frozen so that a greater part was cut down and dried in fodder. Farmers were obliged to pay S4 or $5 bushel for corn of 1915 for seed for the next springs plant ing.

IRON TRADE.

Statistics of pig iron production on July are somewhat surprising. Ac- cording to the Iron Age, the weekly out put was a t a new high record of 352, 590 tons notwithstanding the shortage of fuel. As it was well known that nu- merous furnaces had suspended opera
 tions. a moderate reduction in iron making was expected. but this factor was evidently more than offset by the resumption of plants formerly banked because of strikes Consumption dur ing the past twelve months is succinctly shown by comparing the increase of weekly output from BIO, ,950 tons to 352.- 590 tons, and the decrease in furnace stocks from 392, ,598 tons held year ago to 75,037 reported on July 1, 1902. This unprecedented use of pig iron has con- tinued in the face of steadily rising quo tations, averaging between six and sev- en dollars. Just at present the pressure
