Instantly the makers of this roally us- tounding discovery concluded that burglars had entored tho building through some base- ment window or door; hat cnt a holo through tho two fectof coment and brick which com- posed tho floor of tho vault on tho story above, and thereby gained admission to tho strong box; and had, after scouring the papers and moncy mentioned above, decampgt, lenving: bebind thom, in the form of acareles!y-thrown- aside or misplaced unextinguianed Inmp or cane, dio, the germ of tho Winzo which soon thereafter wiped out tho yaluable building and its seven- fold more valuable contents, ‘Chis theory, ao Uetefly stated, was ncoepted as tho only correct solution of the reasons fur tho mysterious con- fugration, Hut yesterday some rumors even more start- ling than tho discovery made when the vault was Orst opened wero act allunt. These rumors are to tho elfeot that THE VAULT WAS RURGLARIZED FROM TIN INSIDE sololy for the Fuypose of securing the books of the concern; that tho money and bonds wero stolonmorely fora bind; that tho hola in tho floor was cut from tho Jnside, and solely for the purpose of cresting the impression that tho work was done by safeblowers in soncch of plunder, and that i€ was notlargo enough fora mun to get through—but that isnot correct. A reporter, who sought some expinnattan of tharu- mors, lournod, in tho first pinco, that tho current books were not kuown to be missing. ‘The vault bnd boen subjected to such grout hoat that all tho contents had been very much blick- ened ond charred, but not burned up; nn a tho woks at re ont imissing might’ be underneath — tha pile of partially destroyed rubbish remaining in the vault. So any, theory concerning tho at- tempted removul of tho books to cover up any wroug-dolni was soon to lak foundation, Next the reporter traced down a rumor aliegiug tosses iu wheat dentings on the part of un om- ployé, and found that ho had taken flyer ia grain now and then, but had not lust—at least not beyond the baunda’ of his salary—and bide occasion to appropriate funds which did not be-* Jong to him, and, ne a natural conacquence, no desire to burn up or carry off n sut of buoks, which did not implicate him tn anything.

Ho rofused point binnk to place any reliance whatever in the covored- up-defalcation theory, and suid that not one inan, in tho employ of the firm was oven for an ine Stant to be suspeoted of any wrone. Allof tho oilice men wero old bands, some of thom of sev antcon years’ sorvice, and anythlug such na was suggested concerning then was to him quite ridiculous. Tho business was carricd on in such f® manner that one man alone could not default and covor his yullt, and two in collusion could not keep thale doings: sverct for more than twenty-four hours.
