ton Of an entire squadron OF four monster

One Cent for Conscience Fund.

Attorney A. T. Flickinger was exhibiting
yesterday a letter which was recently re-
ceived by a merchant of this city from a
poor woman. The letter accompanied a
remittance OF 1 cent conscience fund"
The writer said that some time ago while
disposing Of a lot Of eggs to the merchant
In question one was found to be cracked
and this one the merchant laid aside. While
the attention of the merchant was directed
elsewhere the woman picked up the cracked
egg and placed 1t in her basket, thinking,
as she explained in her letter, that It was
Of no value. The woman subsequently be-
came converted, she said, and the vision of
that stolen cracked egg haunted her and
her conscience became so trouble that she
finally decided to make restitution. She
accordingly enclosed in her letter / cent to
square the matter.
The merchant who received the letter does
not remember the incident of the cracked
egg and is in doubt whether to regard the
letter as a joke or as a genuine instance of
a troubled conscience.

and yesterday morning discovered unmis-
taxable evidence that the place had been
broken into again during the night and
another large bundle of pelts carried away.
Mr.. Lindsay did not make any report of
the robbery to the police until yesterday
morning.
An inventory yesterday showed that 19s
pelts in all had been taken during the two
nights. OF this humber 125 were pelts OF
the civet cat and seventy-three were mink
skins. valued at about s1.55 each. It Is be-
lieved that someone cognlzant with the
business and value OF the different kinds
of kim committed the robbery, as the
pelts carried away were picked out from
among a large number of others OF lesser
value.
This makes the third time within about
two weeks that the Lindsay hide house has
been robbed during the nighttime.
