Bradbury, 1225 Pa. av. ‘A friend of the ex-mayor, | his name given out, sent $400 to the Union | panion He Saw the Robbers Bury the Treasure in the Earth. The Temptation Was Too Strong and He Dug Up the Money and Kept It. “What do you think should be done in the way of protecting the treasure and mes- senger in express cars?” a Star reporter asked a well-known railroad detective. “There have been many plans put forward since the robberies in the west, but most of them are too expensive or not practical. I have often talked to the officials of the ex- press companies about this matter, and my chief plea was for the protection of the mes. senger. If they protect him, he will protect the treasure. The men selected for these positions are thoroughly tested before being assigned to a responsible run, and an over- whelming majority are of that class who will take care of themselves if given half a chance. “I have frequently suggested that express cars be lined with half inch boiler plete fron. I don’t mean the sides alone, but make a complete lining and fully protect the doors. Mechanical experts can easily devise plans so this can be done, and then place in the hands of the messenger one of those sawed-off shot guns loaded with buck- shot. Let this defensive preparation become known, and I'll stake my reputation on it that train robberies or rather express car robberies will go out of fashion, Such a car would stand a tremendcus pressure from dynamite; if run off the track would like- wise be protected from being crused, and as a fort for the messenger could not be e celled, It would give him confidence, and Woe betide the robber who would first enter the car should an entrance ultimately be gained. Something Like Ali Baba. “Do you know that this recent ‘hold-up’ over in Virginia recalls to my mind a sim- | ilar occurrence that took place when I was @ young man in the business up near Pitts- burg at a station named Greensburgh. The details are very similar. The train was successfully held up; the express car robbed of a good round sum, and the robbers make a break for Pittsburg after crossing the Conemaugh river near which the robbery occurred. I received the details of the rob- bery in Pittsburg from my superior officer a short time after they occurred, and some- thing told they would use the Cone- maugh to cover up their tracks. “I had an assistant at the time who lived on the outskirts of Allegheny city, at one of those little summer places. There was a telegraph office at the place, and I at once telegraphed him to be on the lookout for the men, and that I would see him in the morning. At the ame time I took an- other route so as to cover as much ground as possible. The details of my assistant’s movements that night I gathered from him two years later in the Cock county jail, Chicago. “It seems that he v s in the telegraph office when my message was received, and | in a few minutes was on his way toward the river. It was pitch dark, but he kept on until he reached a point in the road that led through a considerable stretch of wood- land. He had stopped to take his bearings when he heard a wagon coming up the road at a furious rate of speed. He left the road and sought refuge behind a good- sized tree. The wagon came up and passed on but only about a dozen yards. He made out the forms of five men as the wagon went by, and he was in the act of following them when the wagon stopped. Again he darted back into the woods and saw robbers, for so they proved to be, lug out a good-sized box and drag it into the woods. Hastily digging a hole they buried the box, and after marking several sur- rounding trees, hurried back to the wagon end continued their rapid driving toward the city. . Bluffed Into a Confession, “My assistant, after assuring himself that the men were well out of the way, hastily dug that box up and loaded himself with currency. On reaching home he found he had something like $17,000, and the temptation was too strong for him. He decided to keep it. He lived in his old home for nearly a year and was shrewd enough not to use any of the money. Then he left for Chicago, and shortly afterward bought quite a farm in southern Illinois. About the same time I arrested 2 man for breaking into a freight car. “This fellow was far gone with consump- tion and I took him to the hospital. There he confessed to me that he was a member of the gang that had held up the express n.essenger a year and a half before, and the result of the burying of the treasure in the woods. I went out on the road and found the telegraph operator, who told me of the quick delivery of the message I had sent, I put two and two together and de- cided to follow up my assistant. After con- siderable trouble I located him and de- coyed him into Chicago. There I put him under arrest and bluffed him into a con- fession. I recovered $12,000, and the presi- dent of the company, John Hoey, gave me a percentage that amounted to $2,500." i GRANT MEN ALARMED. They Do Not Like the Fact That Strong is Favorite in the Betting. From the New York World, today, Friends of ex-Mayor Grant, especially the fraternity, are getting badly having on his campaign. It started in the first two or three days after Grant was nominated, and since then the odds have gone to five to four on Strong, with few takers at that. Now a plunge is to be made to bring the odds up before election, The explanation Tammany men have been giv- ing as to the odds against their candidate was that all the horse men and sporting men who usually bet on elections were in Washington attending the races. They will be through Saturday, and will come back to New York on a Special train, and the story uptown last night was that they were coming prepared to bet Strong money to a standstill. ‘They will find some of ft to cover. John Halloran, a well-known Hariem real estate man and financier, announced yesterday that he had 1,000 which he wished to place. He wants to bet $5,000 to $4,000 that Strong will beat Grant, $5,000 to $4,000 that Gotf will beat Smyth and $10,000 even that he wins both bets. Mr. Halloran will be at the headquarters of the state democracy, 28 East 28d street, from 4 o'clock to 6 this afternoon. and he lives at 101 Lenox avenue. There was not much betting yesterday and what there was was in small sums. ho did not want Square Hotel to place on Grant, and it was promptly covered by $0) Strong money, which had also been left by an unknown. Edward Coyne of the New Amsterdam Hotel bet $i00 even with Henry Bannon, the dry goods man, that Morton’s majority to the Harlem river would not exceed 50,000, soe A New Game. John Smith, a young German, was ar- rested in Baltimore yesterday, charged with defrauding Mrs. Florence Hulinstock, a rest- dent of Baltimore, out of a sum of money in this city several days ago. 1t was learn- ed that Mrs. Hulinstock's husband was sen- tenced to the penitentiary recently, after being convicted of buying stolen meat. Smith appreached the woman and stated to her that he could secur? a pardon for her husband from Goy. Brown upon the payment of a sum of money, Smith in- duced Mrs. Hulinstock to come to this city with him, assuring her that Gov. Brown was here. Upon arrival he introduced his com- to an alleged Gov. Brown, who promised to sign the pardon the following morning upon the payment of $200, While in a boarding house that night, so it is claimed by Mrs. Hulinstock, Smith, supposing her to be asleep, endeavored to secure a sum of money which she had under her pillow, but she was awake and caught him in the act, In the morning both Smith and the alleged Gi Brown had taken their departure. Mrs, Hulinstock thea made complaint to police headquazters, and Smith was located in Baltimore. De- tective Weedon left for that city this mor ing to bring the prisoner here. ——— Will Filed, George W. Brown, by his will filed with the register, left his entire estate to his wife, Mary J. Brown, who is named sole executrix, RR. | of the estate of J. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS. A Reported Case of Smallpox Tarns Out to Be False. The report that a case of smallpox is at 118 North Fayette street is without founda- tion. A colored woman, named Celia Wash- ington, was said to be suffering from the dread disease, and Mayor Strauss requested Dr. Purvis, the health officer, to examine into the matter. The latter ‘reorted that the woman had had the smallpox about twenty years ago. Henry A. Simmons of this city, who was arrested in Washington on Sunday, charged with intimacy with Ida Sutton, a sixteen- year-old girl of this place, had his trial continued until Thursday. ‘The father of the girl, John Sutton, appeared and vouched for the girl's appearance when wanted, and | A. Sillers, counsel for Simmons, secured for the defendant the $1,000 bail demanded. William Dolman, the negro boy who is believed to nave “found” Dr, Jones’ surgi- cal instruments where they were not lost, Was arrested by Officer Webster on com- plaint of Mr. George Brown, the barber, who charged him with stealing brushes and. other articles. The boy shed tears, and de- nied the allegation, but the evidence being sufficient Mayor Strauss sent him to the workhouse for sixty days. Shortly after 1 o'clock this morning the barn of Mr. Scott Crupper, in Fairfi county, about a mile and a half west of this city,..was destroyed, with its entire con- tents. In the barn were a buggy, a wagon, some harness and a quantity of ‘hay. The fire is supposed to have been the work of a tramp, but whether intentionally or not is not known. The loss is about $250, on which there is an insurance of about | $100, The blaze could be seen in this city very plainly, and caused an alarm of fire, pier brought out part of the fire depart- It is said that some of the members re- cently fined and dismissed from the Alex- andria Light Infantry propose to carry the matter into the courts, claiming that the action of the court-martial was illegal. The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. Amos B. Slaymaker wiil t to hear of his death, which occurred at his home on South Pitt street yesterday evening. The deceased had been ill for several weeks past,being a sufferer from a hronic divorder, which it was found would terminate fatally. Mr. Slaymaker came to this city in early life, and at the breaking out of the war was a member of the sixth Virginia cav- alry, then stationed in this city, At the close of the war he took up his residence in the Valley of Virginia. About twenty years ago he returned to Alexandria and became a member of, the old firm of Wit- mer & Slaymaker, Later he engaged in the | dry goods business under his own name, and conducted the same up to his death. Mr. Slaymaker was in the sixtieth year of his age. He had been married twice, his secoud wife, who survives him, being a daughter of the late Mr. Benedict Milburn. Cards are oui for the marriage of Miss Gay Robinson of “The Plains,” Fauquier county, to Mr. George Cochran of the same county. The ceremony will take place in St. George's Church, Fredericksburg, on Wednesday evening, November 14, at 7:30 o'clock. Mr. Edward R. Dunn has been appointed director of the choir of St. Mary’s Church. A change will be made in the schedule of the electric railway on the Ist proximo. ‘The funeral of the late Mrs. James W.
