THOMASSEN'S MYSTERIOUS BOX, Hal RR a ee \PSUAMINATION OF THE BOX SHIPPED BY THE | rye srosY oF THS KILLING OF JOHN 2. CRLTIC—SHOT FOUND INSTEAD OF SPECIE. In last Sunday’s special cable despatches the fact was yetated that Thomassen, the dynamite fend, had in Oc- }ober last shipped a box said to contain specie and Mailed mm securing insurance thereon. A HekaLp reporter “Nearnod yesterday that this box was still in the custody of the White Star line, and he also ascertained that Officer Laird, of the Ninth ward police, who ts on duty ‘at the company’s picr, knew something about the mys- terious box. Accordingly he called on the officer last Wening and obtained the following statement :— I was on duty at the White Star dock on the 24th of October when the Celtic arrived at cieven o'clock 1D the morning. «1 noticed a box in charge of Inspector ot \Customs Glassey, who said it contained specie, as ft a fo heavy. It had no mark or address, and was covers ‘with black oilcloth, much worn and tied with heavy: cord, Mr. Pennell, the dock superintendent, ordered ‘Mto be left on the dock near the Custom House office. Thomassen came up and said it contained © ana that he was going hunting out West and Jt to remain for a day or two on she dock, ‘Yhe Oustom House officers consented, and Thomassen he was joing to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He wi there, reg- red under the name of W. K. Thomaa, of Dresden, ‘and remained untsl the 28th of October, The box re- mained in front of the Castom House office for s week. Officer Banks, who was 1D wanted to see what ‘was in it before he le‘t, and whem he eaw it contained 1 lining he was satished. It was then put in the room and we thought nothing of it till we saw the aD of Sunday about an allusion to hie attempt ing to stip specie and an insurance on it 1 recollect Thomassen or Thomas y well; he ‘wore gold speetacies and looked a perfect gentleman, Yhe doctor of the Celtic remembers him. Superinten- dent Riddell, of the wharf, told me on Monday that the case was iu, the baggage room. | then weut to Super jntenaent Walling and told him of it and © tid me to imform the Burean of Com- nstibles of the same 1 then went there ‘and was told that an inspector would come and remove dk As they were ‘ing rather uneasy on the subject on the whar{, Mr. Kelly, the cooper on the pier, opened Mt carefully,’ There were three boxes We pred off ‘the stee] straps and threw back the lid, after taking out ‘the French nails. Inside we found a box of thin sheet wteel, which fitted tbe yooden box exactly. The lid was loose with “a thomb hole in the middie We found some old wrapping ‘wand straw: envelopes for boitles anderneath Inside the steel box, under the rubbish, we found a emall wooden box, 10%4x8 inches, heavily corded, with Drown paper wrapper on it, We cut the wrapper off very carefully Delieving 1t to contain explosive mate- . gia, and fou e nd the cover was fastened with four screws, box was of half-inch stoi. After getting out the Borews we found 1t contained two bags of Nos 2 and 3 shot, made by Walker Parker, of London. There were four bags of shot in all, each of twenty-five pounds—two in the Httle box and two fastening the little box Bleady in the steel box. ‘Thore were no explostve materials in the box, but the fact that Thomassen bad endeavored to insure the shot for the value of the pretended £6,000 in gold bullion Bhows that he had some scheme on foot to defraud the Insurers Whether he had any way of converting the box of shot into an infernal machine can only be determmed on further investigation. When the re- rier called at the Fifth Avenue Hotel he was shown The register, and found the signature, “W. K. Thomas,” written therein ina bold hand, The proprictors re- membered the man very well, but could not say whether ho received any Visitors or not, They did re- member that he spent agreat deal of his time in his room. These tacts show that the desperate schemer jhad indeed plotted to defraud insurance companies long before his last venture resulted so disastrously in the destruction of his own and other lives, ‘ vwseypveetnns a tance dentededly ®ALE OF PLYMOUTH CHURCH PEWS. Plymouth church was crowded ‘from an early hour Bast evening on the occasion of the annual auction sale ‘of pews. At seven o'clock Mr. Beecher and several of the trustees ascended the platform, and the pastor gaid:—We have come together this year under ordi- wary cireumstances, for as every year is pecullar I con- sider this but ordinary. 1 took occasion two Sabbaths ago to express the hope that a great number of persons would be able to get pews at a moderate price 1 have nothing to retract on that side, yet 1 take the liberty to express my most sincere hope that the deficiency occasioned by the low price of some we will be made up by the gentlemen who occupy igh-priced pews. (Applause) We all know the stringency of the times. Every one of us has use for all the money he has, but the encouragement and con- solation and incitement of the house of God m your ex- rience bas been such that it is worth your while to y something ior it; for you have not been fed on theology hard to digest and understand, but rather on owe truthe that pertain to the soul And I know hat scores and hundreds have been carried through great trials by the stimulus .of moral truth they have received here. So it is not simply for a entiment you pay; this house has been a staff and Duckler to you, and has enabled you to stand up. Of course I cannot say some things which I might, and I do not need w say what every generous ian will think, All that I leave to God aud to you. Itis the thirty-seventh or thirty-cighth time in my life on which I have stood before you as your pastor while subjected to ordeals which might be considered severe, Dut which, by the grace and providence of God and pe kindbess, I have beon able to stand. And by the elp of God I expect to stand THE SAME ORDRALS Jn years to come. (Applause) I am reminded that it iwenty-seven years instead of thirty-seven that I That makes me ten years younger, that is all. Mr. Beecher then Introduced Mr. Hoyt, the anc- tioneer, who proceeded at once to the business of the evening. THR SALE. The highest priced pew, No. 89, was sold to Mr. H. RB.

The first witness sworn was Mr. Charles 3. Ferrin, ‘the proprietor of the hotel, He testified that he bad known deceased five or six years; be had lived at the hotel for about five months; saw him on the evening of Decembor 81, 1875, in the ball on the lower floor about A quarter before eight o'clock; there was another per- son in bis company; that was Romaine Dillon; they seemed to be in conversation; I did not hear any loud words; I only saw them for an instant, possibly half a minute; at the end of that time 1 sawa movement of Mr. Dillon's arm; then I saw a flash and heard the report of a pistol; Mr. Dillon turned and walked toward his room; Mr, Dilleber walked toward me; I was walking as rapidly as 1 could toward them atthe time; Mr. Diileber walked about twenty-five feet and sat down on @ seat in front of the elevator; there was another gentleman there at the same instant; who he was I cannot say; We wnbuttoned Mr, Dillever’s vest and saw the blood; I told some one to go for the police, and sent for a surgeon; I took Mr, Dilleber to the elevator, and thence to his room; a moment before we got him un- dressed some one came up and said the police were down stairs; I went down immediately and found POLICE IN MR.

Witness—No sir, I am ‘hot sure; but there was no one else near them. Witness, continuing, said the flash he saw was near Mr. Dillon's raised band; when witness first saw tho parttes he was about sixty feet away from them, Dr. William W. Strew, next called, satd:—On the evening of December 81'I was called to see John R.

IN THE VILLAGE HALL AT AMONG DISORDERLY SCENE MONTPELIER—HAIRPULLING STOCKHOLDERS. Moxrreuimr, Vt, Jan, 4, 1876. The annual meeting of the Montpelier and Wells River Rallroad Company was held in the Village Hall here to-day. Five loaded trains were required to bring the stockholders, and the hall was crowded to its ut- most capacity, No such excited public meeting has been held hero since the war of 1812, The grand con- test was for the control of 2,000 shares of stock held by the town of Montpelier, the sale of which had been made a few days since by a vote of the town to J. W. Brock, of Montpelier, while another sale was made under un attachment for debt to A. R. Sartwell, of East Cam- bridge, Mass, The Brock party had procured an injunction to prevent the other party from voting on the stock, claiming the sale to them was fraudulent. The Sartwell party moved an adjournment for two weeks to reply to the injunction, The Brock party opposed and pressed for a vote for directors. ‘A scene of great coniusion here ensued, The crowd Tushed upon the stage, aud astruggle for the possession of the records took place, Coats were torn, bair pulled, windows broken, the stage, scenery and pictures puiled down upon the com- batants; the seats and benches were broken, and many severe ‘personal scriinmages ensued. Joel Foster, clerk of the meeting, was chased around the room, bul finally escaped with’ the records. The meeting finally adjourned amid the wildest ex- citement and confusion. ‘The Brock party afterward met and elected directors. . SMALLPOX IN PHILADELPHIA. SLIGHT INCREASE OF THE DISFASE IN SOME SEC- TIONS OF THE CITY. Puiwaperrn, Jan, 4, 1876. The report that the smallpox is raging in the Twenty-ninth ward of this city is untrue, This section of Philadelphia is one of the handsomest, being the spot where some of the social, mercantile and political leaders have built their elegant homes, In the ex- treme southern portion of the city, the Twenty-sixth ward, the disease has been discovered. This section is low and marshy, and the drainage and general cafe of the streets have been too long neglected by the city author- ies, hagpod, gee of Philadelphia always breeds malarial diseases, and occasional cases of smallpox cau very frequently be found there. Quite a mumber of cases have been found lately, not without difficulty, as the families of those afflicted, through mistaken kindness, often try to conceal the patient. Panics have been caused in several neighborhoods; but the disease has not been 60 prevalent as to cause well founded alarm. In some cases groundless reports of danger have done much damage. Last week some one started the rumor that a grocer on Catharine street hud smallpox in his honse, An investtgation finally made by some of the more carefal of his neighbors showed the story to be untrno; but, in the meantime, every one of the poor an’s Customers had deserted him without his being aware of the cause, He was almost driven into bank- ruptey by this heedless injustice. ‘The public heaith authorities do not regard the slight increase in the disease as alarming, and say that it is confined entirely to one or two portions of the city. Last week, out of a total of 882 deaths reported, ouly four were from smailpex, while thirteen* were from typhoid fever, eight from scarlet fever and fourteen were trom diphtheria. A WOULD-BE SUICIDE. Catharine Kenny, aged thirty-four years, of No. 120 Malberry street, attempted to commit suicide last night by taking some laudanum. About eight o'clock one of the inmates of the house entered Mrs. Kenny's room and found her eitting in a chair, with an empty two-drachm bottle, labelled ‘laudanum,” standing on a table near her, Officer McPhillips was calied tn and removed the woman to the Fourteenth gre sta- tion house, where she was attended by Police Surgeon McLeod, and thence taken to Bellevue Hospital. ra Kenny has been tn very destitute circumstances far some time pest, and on that account desired to put an end to her existence. Her three children, the eldest of whom is abo it seven yearsold, were sent to the Ces- tral Office to be taken care of. OBITUARY. REV. FELICIAN KREBBES, 0. M. C. Rey. Felician Krebbea, 0, M.
