Tho nmount of goods stolon from the cars of this lino sinco thoy first bogan todisappoar will exccod 285,000, Thoe ownors of the stolen property do busiuoss, for tho most part, in this city, aud thoy havo ‘boon promptly paid the full value of tho goods thoy havo lost au soon aa it was sottled thot tho property was not to bo found. Tho firms that have suffored in this city are Hamlin, Halo & Co,, Richards, Shaw & Winslow, King Bros. & Co., Wildo, Bluett & Co,, tho Westorn ‘News Company, Deunis & Walton, J. B, West & Co,, *B. Kasproutio & Sou, and a largo numbor of busi- noss firms of less importanco. Messrs, Wilde, Bluott & Co., the well-known clothiers, had . moro goods stolen, perhaps, than any other of tho firms mentionod, But whils the loss in the Bret instanco foll upon the ownera of tho stolen proporty, it finally was borno by the 8tar Lino Compnny, which has promptly pald the con- signoes of lost goods their full value, through Its agont in this city, Mr, W. W, Chandlor. A Iargo numbor of business houses in -8an Fran- oisco, and othoer places on the Pacifio const, have also boen the victims of theso robbories. Whilo but two of the gang which hias boon com- mitting those dopredations have been appre- honded and srrostad, and whilo there seoms but - littlo prospoct that tho rest will be detoctod, tho syatom of thioving that has cost the Etnr.biqo managers 50 much uneasiness and monoy i8, it is }nfllovcd, Lrokon up nud driven to other fiolds of nbor,- Tho history of the thievery extends baok slmost two yoars, but the principal doprodations npon tha cars have been committed sinco Aprit Inst. Two years nago it was observed by tho - sgent of the Btar Lino in (his city that proparty of value was constantly beiug extracted from tho cars, and tho observation caused him much vexation. Evory offort to discover the rpatrators of the thefts proved fruitless, aluable property still coutinued to bo wmissod, afidcano clows to its wherenbouts wero ascer- nod. was in the vicinity of the houee of a farmor named Evwen, who has kopt n houss for the nc- commodation of huuters, Busplcion was thero- fore east upon him as belng one of tha gang of robbors. “Mr, Chandlor and Doteetive Rim- onda wont to his louso, nrmod withn soarch- warrant, and thorough oxamination of tho Liouso and farm rovealod nothlng important, with the oxcoption of the shanty spoken of. ‘Ihis i & plain board structuro, sltunted lut & sliort distanca from Iwon's house, upon his farm, Itwns found that thero wns l‘»m. one door fu it, and this was locked upon tho inside— ag Mr. Cunudlor sald, *“No latchestring lnug out.” There were two windows, which woro closod by bomds nand piecos of canvas. At ono “sido of tho shanty, nonr the ground woro two boards that woro ensily ro- moved. ‘Theso openod into n collar, nnd nccoss waa obtained from thenco to the up-staira by means of a trap-door. In this houso wore found a matking-pot and a plano to shavo off names from boxos. It was tho habit of tho robbers to run tholr stolon property off to thin place, and ropnck it, and then reship it to their * fences," '} or the persona who sold thoir goods, Ewon was recordingly arrested, and upon the following avidenco was hold for trial at thonost torm of tho Qounty Court of Lake County, Ind., undor bouda of $10,000,by Justlco Greother, on tho 24th of Boptombor. 1tmay bo eaid bofore closing, that Mike Jonos was oxamined boforo Justico” Ban- you fu this olty Inat Saturday, aud hold _for trinl at tho Orliminal Court, undor bonds of &5,000, Chrlstion Erhardt sworn—Am a Daue, Beon in Amorien four and a half years, Lived licro in this ?nrl of Indisna eince-last part-of last Fobrunry, Worked for Ewen about six months, or from 1st of March Inat, I drova feam ond sometimes grubbod stumps, I have eson (hitigs going ou at l;“-nn%mme, anil_about his premisos, that looked like robbery,— steallug wou gotng on, ‘The first I saw was about tho month of Juno last, Isaw four boxes in the shinnty, "Threo of the boxes wero open, two of which were full of Biray hiafw, ono full of hootf, and conplo of whelves full of books--some larga books and some small, “I'he samo weok I took the rnme boxes out of the Aliane and hauled thiem over to Lausing Station, Mr, ZLiwen hielped me to load them, Ho stood in the wagon, Mike Jonas was there was thoro with Mr, Evwen's tearn, Pilforing by railrond employes from froight cars is go common that -Mr. Chandler was not in- duced to give the matter vory much attention, although hie was unremitting £o a cortain exton in his efforts to detoot the robbers, until the oceurrence on tho night of tho 1st of April last of a robbery from the cars oftha line of about £5,000 worth of goods. After this overy effort was put forth to detect the pilferers and bring thom to Justico, The cars of thisline aro not locked, but are fastened securoly by what oro colled seals. These aro ncom{: ieated invention, very difficult of explanation if not scen, but it can atleast bo enid that if tho seal, which ia lead, he broken, tho vieinity where the brealk was mado can bo rotty acourately located, By this arrangomont Pt was discovered that the robberies wore beiug rpotrated somewhere betwoen Fort Wayne and g?xlnu on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayuo & Chi- oago Baliwny. Hr. Chandior accordingly sont two detoctives over the road, aud gave instruc- tions to such station-mon as he deomed worthy of -his confidenco . regnrding thio . matter, On the night of the 20th of August two _cars wore robbed of about $8,000 worth of goods, and.although it was belioved that the Tobbery bad been porpotrated in tho vicinity of Chicago, yot tho place whoro it was committed could not be sottled upon. The clow which finally led to tho spprchionsion of the thicves, and the placo where thoy hoad been opurnllnfig. was obtained through the shrewdness of M. H. Baum, tho station-agont at Gibeon, s emall laco "on the Michigan Contral Railway, on tho gfl day of last. mouth. In the aftornoon of that. day a man drovo up to tho. platform of the station in a reen lumber-wagon, and_deposited two boxos. 'hey were directogd to M, FL McIfonry, No, 451 Bouth Clatk street, Baum nsked tho man his name, which was answered by tho q“nuhnn‘ “Is it nocessary for me to give my name ? ' Baum_ replicd that it wns, nnd, after somo quibbling, tho man stammored out Charles Ly- ong, Upon' being asked what the box con- tainad, ho ropliod, *‘Farm machinory.” Tho questions woero unususl, and were replied to evasively, Lyons evidontly believing that he wag suspected, Baum saw fit to def the goods at the station, and, on the morning of Sept. 4, camo to this_city, aud, propnndiug 0 the hend- uartors of Polica, iuformed the Buperintendout that ho had examined thé contonts of the boxes in the presenco of five witnasses, and that thoy contained cigars and tobacco, instead of ** farm machinery,” Ho also iufoxmed” the Suporin- tendent that the goods. swould be sontinat a cartain time, and guggeated that tho houso No. 451 Olark Biroet bo watched, Tho following morning he placed the goods an the train for Chicago, and just bofore tho cara loft Lo saw the mon Lyons got on board, and at once informed the gonductor of the train, Earl, of the sus- ioion’that had boen cast upon the follow, and Sispataieg to. Mr. Washiurn,to Lave tho maiitarrestod at the Michigan Contral depot upon'the arrival of the train, But Lyons eluded the police officors by gotting off at the Twonty- second streos depot. Baum thon camo to Chica- go, oud hoving heard “of the dugrudat!ona committed on _ the Biar Unlon Lino cars, called upon Mr. Ohandler and -informed him of ~tho discoveries ho had mndo, Theso two gontlomon thereupon proceeded to the office of the American Exglrmm Company, at tlio corner of Randolph streot and Wabash ave- nuo, and made an oxnmiuation of the contents of tho boxes which had not_yet boon dalivered, One box was found to contain 10,000 cigars and nnother soveral cnddies of plug tobeco. On the bottom of tho cigar-boxes was the card of §, Knsprowicz & . 8on, tobaccanists, No. 20 South Olnri streot, By this card it was ascortained that the goods had beon stolon frowm the ours of Btar Union Line, and thus tho first tangible cluo wpa obtained to the robbere, . *Dotaotives Dixon and Simonds were at onco employed, and Mr, Chandler attonded himsolf, Sith oych ardor, to thb working-up of tho olus that had been.obtained, Oficora wore placed at pll tho expross offices in the city, About tho 14th of August 6 man doposited & box _of silks at the ofiice of the Amorican Express Gdmpuny, No. 61 Halsted streot. ‘Ilio box was addrossed ta 0. Radmnchior, No. 49 West Poarl street, Cin- cinnati, Oficor Ryan attemted to effoct tho arrost of the man, but, as bofore rolated in theso columns, failed in the attompt. The result of Baum's information wan, that Oharles Lyons was arrested, and proved to B:; Mjko Joues, B young man who had loug boon tho employ of"tho railroads, Ile was takon beforg Justice Banyon, and held for further ox- amination in bail of §5,000, Aftor a fow days of invostigation, It becamo woll sottled in Afr, Obandlor's mind that tho robberios had beon committed In the vicinity of Tolleston, a station at the junction of tho Pittsburgh & Fort Wayne and thie Michigan Coutral Ruilways, about §0 milon east from Chicago, aud 4 milos oasb of ibuon, It wos ascertained tbat the robberios were committed in this way: mvm}mnl Station, at tho junction of the Fort Wayno loud and tho Joliet * out-off," was tho place whoro the rob- bors were in the hubit of hoarding tho card.

Immenso Mass-Meoting of Patrons at Kalamazoo, Mich. Farmers' Meeting in Ohristian Coun- ty, I, - A Mass Conventlon of Patrons in Southwestern Michignn wes Stirring Farmors? Speoches, KAraxAZoO, Mich,, Oct. 8.—Tho occasion of tho nunual meoting of the Kalamazoo County Agrionltural Bocloty, ocourring this yoar on Oct. 1,2, nnd 4, was improvod by the Michigan Btato drmuo of tho Patrons of HMusbandry to bold o mass-convontion for Bouthwostern ™ Michigan, and Oct, 8 was solootod s the day, Owing to tho feoling growing out of tho location of the Btate Fair, an \muuul\“g largo attendnuco was had, and tho fuir muy be considerod as o grati- fying success, at loast 7,000 poople bLoing pros- ont during to-dny, Tho exorcises of the Grango were commenced at 8 o'clock, by an addross from g THE HON. W. 0. FLAGG, of Maros, Ill., who waa among the earliest advo- cates of the Farmors’ Movemont in that Btate. He commenced by stating tho origin of thomove- ment, and dereribed tho dififenltios oncounterod in tho innitiation,snving that tho soveral monupo- los with which the farmors hiad to contond wero slarply waichful and aggressive as to their rights and intorosts, aud thoso soveral monopo- lics ind conspirod together to defeat tho farm- or in this movement. 1le dociared that all the Tailrond and stenmboat Jinck of the country wero motopolics, a8 in the boginning they had cost little, had enrned vast smounts that had beon divided in monoy or in stock, and woroe 80 far masters of tho situation as to imposo their own terms, which were, witliont exception, so high as to doprive the producing class—the fermers—of tho profits to which they wero legitimately entitled, Of this propoeilion sov- oral illustrations woro given. Mr, Tlagg do- nouncod middle-men, as ho tormed the commis- slon morchants, who securo Iarge profits that ou¥ht to go to the farmer, and thoy woro in tho railway and stenmboat conspiracy, using their Dot offorts to keep farm produco as low a8 pos- siblo, themsolves renlizing handsome profits from consumers. Ho assortod that tho middio- mon wero . ORUSHING THE FARMERS ond pooror classes of consumors to the oarth, and reform must_cominence by destroying this clags of men. The presont system of patents and ctapyrlnhu wero olted a8 wmonopolics of the most dangorous and opprassivo cliaractor, Ex- tonalon of patonts showld ba denied, the public intarest roquiring that Inbor-saving invontions should be produced as choaply as possible, Sew- ing-machines could bo bought in Groat Britain for one-hal¢ thoir price in _America, while agri- cultural implemanta aro sold horoat extravagant pricos. Tho troublo was that TOO MANY CORFORATIONS woro boing oreated by Btate and National au- thonty without proper limitations, the result of which'is the continued oppression of the poople. Ho chiarged that tho railways wore not cconomi- cally managed, it boing tho interest ‘of somo manggers not to be economical; and claimed that under propor managoment the rates might bo largely roduced for froights, and still hand- some dividends be renlized. Tho Northwest raisod most of tho produce exported to Europo, and yot tho farmers of tho Northwoess remain poor because of the ENOUMOUS FREIGNT TARIFFS of tho railways. The romedy for all this wns State and National suporvision of the railway and stoambont lines ; nleo, the assuming_of tho control of the tolograph systom, as in_FEurope, claiming that Stato and National Boards would bo the monus to reaoh the evil. Mr. Flagg de- elared froo trado to bo tho truo policy of this na woll ag overy country., It might bo neccssary fora time to have n revenuo tariff, but it should Lo doio wway with os quickly ns' postiblo, and ) FREE TRADE theory put into oporation. Heavy taxes had been imposed upon-the publio by many cutor prisos of o private character, which had soon fiqu boyond the ronch of logislation. Tho vast ouations of laud to railway corporations had not been limited to Congross, but had been limited by Btato Logislaturcs, county, township, and city authoritics. TUE PRESENT MONETARY BYSTEM of the country was an inflated and consequently & dangorous one, and should be remedicd at once; tho other ovils of. excossive froight toriffs wero .of tho moat importanca to tho farmor, and should Lo remedied first. Tho farmors should soe to it that mon wore sont to tho Legislaturo who would seo that their righta should” Lo protectod in tho futuro, s well ns . their prosont wrongs rightod, Mr. Flagg's addross was listoned to with groab attontion. He was followed by THE HON. MARK D, WILBUR, & Stato Senator from the Allegan District, who has beon somowhat conspicuous in conneetion with the trausportation question, and who last wintar dolivered an addross before the Alichigan Legislature upon this subject. Ar. Wilbur's remedy for the evils complained of by the farmors was water transportation, and tho viaws oxprossed woro similar to those here- tofora prosonted by him at Lonsing and else~ Where, Choap water trausportation would com~ ‘pol the invention of a new railway oconomy in coustrueting, cconomy in O[wrntlug roads, and, cousoquently, economy in rallway transportation. . THE HON. J. O. BURROWS, tho member of Cougross-olect from the Kala~ mnzoo District, thon madoe a short speech, whicl was well received, though ho took issue with the theory that only farmora bad wrongs to right. Ho insistod that s movement against monopolics should not itsolf become a monopoly by advane- ing only tho interest of one class, REBOLUTIONS .wero prosonted embodying the points made in Mr, Flagg's speoch, an adoptad. Tho rain, which commenced falling sbout 8 o'clock, provented the gatheriug of as large an sudience a8 would otherwiso haya listencd to tho speeches, and compelled Mr., Wilbur to be brief. The roprosentation of Granges was mainiy con- flned to Kalamazoo County, sbout 1,000 ‘mem- bors boing prosent. An esrncst fooling pro- vailod among tho farmers as to tho movament, and thoy were sanguine’ that grent good was to Lo accompljshed by it. Conversation with thoe leading membors ~ disclosed tho fact that thoy are opposed to its assuming a political character, at lenst at prosont, confining_themsalves to the organization of Granges and the discussion of mothods of rolief through co-operation in the R\xrchnsn of supplics and tho sale of thoir pro- ucts, Tho Btute Grange contemplate holding othermeotings st oncs, and it is not unlikoly that o State Convention will bo hold during the coming winter.
