AN INGENIOUS ROBBERY.
How 100000 Was Stolen From .
STAGE Coach


How 100000 Was Stolen From .
Stage Coach
In the first quarter of the past cen
fury 1t Became necessary for the
Bank Of Ireland, at Belfast, to send a
large sum of money in notes to its
branch Of Armagh to meets special
requirement there, the amount to be
RENTED being almost 100000.
Only two courses were open to the
management to effect this, one being
to send q special messenger in a post
chaise and the other to send the con.
signment by the mail coach. The lat.
ter was the mode Of transportation
chosen.
The coach left Belfast on Monday.
Wednesday and Friday, at IL o'clock
noon, returning from the archiepisco,
pal city each Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday.
On the previous afternoon of the
day in question a stranger called at
the coach Office and booked four in,
side seats to Armagh, paying for
them in advance. Just prior to the
starting of the coach two men only
put in an appearance, explaining that
the other two passengers would join
them en- route at a place beyond Lis.
burn. The mail coach was in charge
OF John Byers, and old and trusted
servant Of his employer and the pre-
mier whip" on that coach line.
The leathern wallet containing the
notes was handed to him by an Off.
cial at the bank, who instructed him
under nc circumstances to lose sight
Of it till it reached it's destination.
He duly gave effect to his instruc.
tons, placing the wallet in the front
boot, as it was called, underneath the
driving seat, and where the coach
"dined," having his dinner brought
out and eating 1t ON the box.
When the coach arrived at the rem.
devious beyond Lisburn the two in.
side passengers conferes were not tc
be seen. After waiting a few moments
both guard and driver said it was i'm
possible to wait longer, and the two
inside must either continued their
journey or remain behind. After some
demur they chose the latter alterna.
tive and retraced their steps toward
Lisburn.
When the coach arrived at Armagh,
to the horror and CONSERVATION OF
those in charge, it wss discerned that
the wallet containing the consignment
was missing. The cloth in the inside
has been cut, the hair stuf1ng remoy-
ed and the dividing panel between it
and the boot had been sawn through
and the wallet distracted.
The whole robbery had been care
fully planned. After a%bstracting the
wallet the thieves replaced the panel
and stuhing and sewed up the cloth
again, so that should any one go in
side en- route no disturbance would
be %perceptible. It was ascertained
that the thieves obtained conveyance

"Electric,ty will take the place of horses. It will solve the vehicle traffic problem in cities. My new electric storage battery itself will make elec- tricity cheaper than horses. You will see the new factory going up out there? , We'll, in the spring we will be ready to furnish new batteries. Not only will fic, but they will go on twice as fast. They can be stored on upper floors by means of elevators. The saving of sta- ele space in New York city will cover at least $300,000.000 of property.
 Another thing in the future: Wire less telegraphy will enable us to reach
 any ship in any sea. That is cer- talnty.
 Not only will electric power be de- veloped at and distributed from the coal
 mines in the future, but all the water power in the world will be used for the production of electricity. That move ment has begun and is advancing rap idly. In California, where men have nerve enough to overcome habit. they are transmitting electric power 275
 miles by wire and running street cars and lighting cities by it.. That is the sort of spirit that will wake theVworld up one of these days.
 T wish that the spirit of California would spread everywhere.

 There are millions of horse power to be picked up in the waters of the United States for practically song. It is one of the worlds greatest op- portunities. this chance to convert wa ter power into electricity and distrib- ute it to the points where it is needed.
 When you come to think that one horse power Is equal to twenty-five men and that water power changed in- to electrical energy Is practically per- petual-the investment being simply for the original plant-you get some idea of the importance of the changes that have already begun and are well under way.
 Most of Goals Energy Wasted.
 From a practical standpoint the most tremendous thing in the problem
 of electricity is the fact that we only get about Is per cent, of the energy
 of the coal we burn. Eighty-five per
 cent goes up the chimney
 Now. if we could find a way to get the energy out of the coal by some di- | rect process without wasting S5 per | cent. of it the result would be-" (Mr. I Edison raised his hands, closed his eyes
