THE Dashing Across the Country at Lightning Speed. FAST MAIL. HOW THE MAILS WERE PREPARED AND CARRIED A Misunderstanding Between the Railroad and Post Office Officials. “THE DELIVERY \ IN WASHINGTON. The snow was falling fast and the wind whistled it- fully through the trees in St. Paul’s church yard as the hands in the old clock tower overhead pointed tothe hour of bal!-past oue o'clock, The night was dark, and the scene at tho Post Ofice was dreary 1p the extreme, Bo far us tho weather was concerned, but the bright lights aud the busy motions of the empioydés engaged in arranging for the departure of the fast mail train gave animation to the picture, Two hundred men were em- ployed iu essorting, weighing and marking the buge piles of newspapers and letters destined to go by the early train south and westward, At t a voice of authority utters the welcome words 11 Right,” and the toilers cease their labor =U is now 5 A. M. ana the lights graa- uully growing dimmer, Up from the cubterranean cullars of the building come the later workers, and, following the example of those who went away nearly an hour before, they, too, disappear as mysteriously as their predecessors, Jn an hour or two the fast mail takes its departure, andthe “Truthful James’ of the Post Office, through his Jacksonian aide-de-camp of the railway mui! ser- vice bas issued bis flat that unless the Heanp's im- mense odition for Poiladelphia, Newark, Elizabeth, New Brunswick, Trenton, Baltimore, Wiimington, Washington, Richmond and other points further South and Southwest is in the Post Oflice an hour carlier than usual, it must remain untouched; taut there is some trouble about getting the mail wagons across the Norsh River after three o’clock for a fast train that leaves an hour and thirty minutes later! ‘The bint has been heeded. Ten minutes later the HeraLp wagous empty their contents into Postiwaster James’ cellars.

THE RESULT OF THE TRIP, Considering all the disadvantages of accident—head wind, slippery tracks and stoppuges—the first experi- ment to make last time Letween New York and Wasb- ington was a decidea success, the run of 227 miles Derng made in cight hours and twenty-seven minutes, ave nowspaper delivery vw Wasuington by thie pew Arrangement is the same as that mado when th Hevavp ran a special train from New York to West Phuadelphia to copnect with the morning train for Washing Hut the mails were yesterday put i Washington nearly tive hours oather than ever Detore.

EVFRCT OF THE PAST MALLS, The express train and the tust mail, its successor, re revolutionized this whole matter of the New York dailes in Washington, where it was unusual to look tor them until about six o’clock, when the day’s occu- patious were over and business people had retired to their homes, [ut now the fewaus is ken at the government departments.and bureaus and among law- yers und merchagts throughout the city as extensively . as the local moruing papers.

Detective Pailip Reilly, of thy Central Office, arrived in this city early yesterday morning, having in bis custudy William F. Veltman, whom he had arrested in Hamilton, Ontario, Cavada, on a chargo of forgery. The detective had somo trouble iu Canada, upon the first arrest of Veltman, regarding the Extradition treaty, but when the decision of the English govera- | ment in the Brent case was announced Veltman tele- | graphed to District Attorney Phelps that he was will- ing to return to this city, On this Detective Reilly went back to Canada and brought bim here, ‘The charge against Veltman is that on June 7 last he forged the indorsement of Messrs, Bryce and Smith, wholesale liquor dealers at No, 83 Front street, on several checks amounting to about $30,000, and on the samo day with withdrawing $21,000 irom tne Merchants’ Exchange Bank, No. 259 Broadway. Velt- man’s accomplices, 4 man named Leith and another named Smythe, are held at present im Ludlow Street Jail tn detault of $20,000 bail Veltman was taken to the Court of General Sessious yesterday and tully com- mitted to the Tombs. “LED ASTRAY,’? The story of this extraordinary case is as follows:— About the month of May, 1875, Wiliam Veltman was employed as chiet elerk and bookkeeper by Messrs, Bryce & Smitu, wholesale liquor dealers, at No, 83 Pront street. In time he gained the entire conddence of the frm, aud took charge of their bank accounts. Messrs Bryce & Smith have a large business, and a deposit or Withdrawal of trom $10,000 to $12,400 was nothing unusual. About four years age Veltuian held a | responsibie position 1m the Fourth National Bauk, and | bere by made the acquamtunce of an elderly man named William H, Leith, who then resided ut No, 853 Pacitic street, Brookiyn, but who at present may ve | found m Ludiow Street Juil. Mr. Leith, according to | Detective Phil Reiliy’s statement, 1a’ a notorious | scoundrel, aud at present there are four or ilve tn- dictnents against Lim in the District Attorney's oflice for Various olleuces. Mr. Leith quietly opened au uc- count ib the Fourth National Bank, and thus made the acquaintavee of Veltman, They often met together, aud the result was that Leith’s account was overdrawn to the amount of about $8,000. Both Veltinan aud Leith were arrested, upon the investigation into this cuse, and, alter vemg locked up fora long time, they | were released. Leith, however scems to huve followed up Veltinun, and be ‘was olten seen in conversaiion with bim when tho latter ovtained nis position in Bryce & Smith's store, Previous to June lust Leith resided at No. 853 Pacifle street, Brooklyn. Nearly opposite the house resided & Buptist minister. Mr. Leith cultivated the mintster’s acquaintance, and one day the tatter stated | that, in wddition to his wnivisterial work, ho also took great intercst in real vstate, und quietly followed up that business m New York. A iow days later Mr. Leith called on the minister and stated to him that he hada son who wished to ongage in tle real estate business und he was willing to ive $2,000 cash to set him up,” “and,” added Mr. Leith, “I think you are ‘the best man to sce In this business.” DEPOSITING FORGKD CHECKS, Mr. Leith introduced his sou to the minister and produced $2,000 in cus, which was to be invested in the business. The minster brought the young man over to New ‘York uud the money was deposited in the Union Trust Company. Then, according to Detective Reilly’s the- ory, Leth, Sr., in carrying out bis plang, arranged with Veliman to deposit forged checks to the credit of Messrs, Bryce & Smith to the amount of $30,000. ‘These checks were signed by promineut merchants and appurently indorsed by Bi Smith, and were Ueposited in the M Exchange Na- tional Bunk on the morning of June 7 last In the alternoon of thy sumo uay Velt- man presented three withdrawal checks, one for 912,000, one for $7,000, and one for $2,000, The paying teller hesitated ‘about paying out so great an amount of money, but on relerence to the books he nouced the $30,000 deposit aud, as it was net unusual for Mesers. Bryde & Smith to withdraw such an amount, he hauded over the cash. All the checks were certified, und apparenily signed In the usual manner. COULD NoT EXPLAIN, Later in the afternoon Mr. L. Apgur, the casbier of the bank, while looking uver the vooks, became suspi- lous regarding the amount of one vf the checks de- posited iu the morning. He sent a messenger to the lirm whose name was oflixed, and to his great consternation asecrtaiwed that it was u forgery. Then ho obtaimed 2 coach and drove to the office of Messrs. Bryce & Smith, and iuquired if they had that morning deposited a check tor $12,000. Mr. Bryce re- pled in the negative. “Well, sir,” said Mr. Apgar, Your bookkeeper was up atour bank ts ning, and deposited one check for $12,000 and several others.’ Mr. Bryce was astuunded und called the bookkeeper (Veltman) up to him and questioned him. “Were you to the bank to-day?” “No, sir, | was not,”? replied Veltman. Mr. Bryce then satd that if a check had been deposited it would be recorded im the bank book; but this bovk could not be found, Veltman then agrecd to go to the bank, and although he ‘was positively identified ws the man who de- posited the checks he stoutly denied having anything to do with the transaction. His exp!ana- tory vo M:. Bryce or to tne bank and he was at once given tuto the custody of Onticer Finu, of the Browaway squag, Upon his urrest he admitted that be tad received the check Jor $12,000 from William H, Leith, at the Unio Trust Company's oftice, and be was to meet him that evening at South Ferry to divide the money. Veltman was then taken to the Tombs, where be was heid by Judge Murray in default of $20,000 bari. IN THE TOILS, Superintendent Walling placed the case in the hands ot Detective Phil Reilly, who on the same evening, and accompanied by Mr. Apgar, went to Veltman’s house, No. 19 Sieriing street, Brooklyn, but after a strict Search they found nothing that Would conn ct him with the case. Then Reiily devoted his attention to find Leith, aud after mucu ditlicully be succeeded. On xearchigg Leith’s valise be found a number ot ietters from Veltmun to Leh, and aiso the stubs of the identical checks deposited m the Merchants’ Exchange Bank Ww the supposed credit of Messrs. Bryco & Smith. The ae- tective also found a genuine signature of “Bryce & Smith’? und about a dozen slips containing copies of the same, evidently being attempts to copy the signa. ture exactly. Leith was arraigned before Judge Mur- ray and beid in $20,000 bail. This le coeeded in oblaining aud was again free, but a tew days later was again arres:ed ou a civil suit tustituted vy the bank oificials, and anotuer $20,000 bail was required. This he was unable to give, su be 19 now in Ludlow Street Jail. CAGING ANOTHER MAN, Detective Reilly, ou questioning Leith, ascertained that ou June 7 (the day Veltman was arrested) Velt- man bad given Edward D, Smythe, of No. 128 DeKalb avenue, Messrs, Bryce & Smith's bunk book ana $5,000 sh totake home, Smytoe was arrested and ou person was found u cipher, which an expert readily deciphered, 1t contained the amounts of th checks, and ultogetoer corresponded with the torge Smythe claumed that he got the cipher trom Velima: and was not acquaimted with “its purport, Smyth Jjomed his friend’s friend in Ludiow Street Jail, and is stall there, LEAVING ON STRAW BAIL. Leith and Smyibe being now disposed of, the story Feturns to the principal, Veitman, About the 28th of June be was taken beture one of the judges of the Su- preme Court on a writ of haveas corpus, for te reduc tion of the amount of bail, aud the Court reduced it to $10,000, Subsequently he was again in court to be ud- mitted to bail, Judge Dononue accepted the & woman, and he was discharged, As he was tree departed for parts unknown, The vank officials soon ascertained that tho bail wortbiess, und they again called on Superin tendent Walling, asking that Veltman might be tecap- tured. Detective Retily again took up the case, aud, atter dihgent inquiry, learved that bis ‘man’? was living 1 Vincennes, Ind. Reilly ut once took (he cars, and oo his inceunes found that bis bird tad flown, All of the fugitive being lost the devective returned to this city. He aid not, however, give up the case, aud alter @ groat deal of perseverance ho ascertained that a man answorng Voliman’s de scription was living In Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Superintendent Walling then wrote to the Chiet of Pouce of Hamilton, giving @ full description ot Velt- man, and to reply was informed that such a man was there, The Superintendent again put Reilly on the case, and on the latvor’s arrivul at Hamiiton he quietly | Hilea bouse. him tn his own mind, obtained the assistance of the Maimilton police, aud soon afterward Veliiban was again under lock and key. BNTRADITION USDER DIPPICULTIES. “Then,” said Detective Kerlly, “the trouble began. I made affidavit before the police magistrate that Veit- tuan was arrested tu New York ou 4 charge of forgery, ond alter giving straw bali had ran away, aud that | was seut on to take him back for trial.”” The magis- trate replied that if | could produce the evidence before their court, within eight days, thi eitman had committed a crime in the United States which was extraditable, they would hold him until the Uuited States governinent asked for kim, whether was a day or a year, Sergcant MePherson made the arrest, and on ben taken to the Central Otice Veltman would Dot sp wutil be obtaiued the advice of w lawyer, Alter consultation with bis lawyer be | re- fcsed to accompany me buck to the States. I then came buck to New York, and returned to Canada with a certified copy of the indictment. Then he obtained another extension of eight days upon the request of bis lawyer, In the meaptiine the news arrived in this country (rom London regarding the new phase ip the extradition treaty on the Lrent cage, and District Attorsey Phelps was notified by telegraph that Veit- man would voluntarily return to New York. ‘Then | started for Canada again and on Friday Veltman was hanced over to me. We arrived in this city ou Sunday aud be was to-aay (Monday) taken to General Sessions itved to bis old quarters in the Tombs.” e Reilly bus travelled thousands of miles in this case, but he has been successful in the end. Now that the prisover is safely in the bands of New York Justice an early trial is expected, and some interesting developments Will oceur in connection with the Veltman has a wife und four children reeiding in Brookiyn, and they are very respectably connected AMUSEMENTS, EPWIN BOOTH AS LICHELIZEU, ‘The miserable night, with snow, siush and street cara blockaded, furnished @ good reason for staying at home, but Mr. Edwin Booth’s Richelieu overruled it, | The Lyceum Theatre bad a good audience, and it was as warm as the weather was cold. Mr. Booth was called belore the curtain after each act, and applauded through the whole course of the play. ‘The Richelieu of Mr. Booth 1s well known to the Now York public, though !t 1s one of his later person- ations, It bas uot the grandeur of Forrest, who made it a magnificent work of imperial declamation and oratory, but it is more true to the character as Bulwer described it, Richelieu, according to Bulwer, was “a mar of two characters.” For- rest made bim a unit. Mr. Booth exprosses the humor, the weakness, the contradictions and the inconsistencies of the man, Here is a statesman who pretends, and really believes, thut his sole art by which ho raised France was that of justice, yet who condescends to deceive Huguet and to delude bis friend Joseph. An element of troachery existed im all this majesty. It 18 this clement which Mr, Booth develops to its fuil extent, Ho makes Richelieu as much of the fox as the hon, and tho subtiety of his methods of expreasion ure as true to nature as the ability of Balwer will allow, Bulwer 18 nothing if not theatricul. Ho wrote the lay to make an effect, .and there 18 no question but that he succeeded. Shakespeare gives Mr. Booth superior opportunity, but while no actor can fully rise to the ideal of Hamlet or Macbeth, Richelieu can be conquered and entirely realized. Mr. Booth has mude it a beautitul piece of realism, tull of color, lite and vigor, and, very justly, does not present Richelicu as a hero without a tault, but as a great nau with serious faults and weukness combined with strength, The general performance was good, Mr. Milnes Levick played Baradus excellently, and developed the part to its limits, without seeking to overweight tt with forced effects, A clearly drawn and manly sketch of De Mauprat was given vy Mr. Frederick Robinson, bul this actor was altogether too boisterous, It may be true, as De Manprat boasts, that he hus “a voice within his soul whose ery could drown tne thunder,” but that is no reason for doing it. Mr. Robinson bas plenty of force and energy, vut he should moderate his expression. Francois wax well played by Mr. Whitecar and Joseph by Mr, Pierce, und a very picasing representation of Julic was given by Ciara Jennings. PARK THEATRE. Peals of laughter rang through this cosey theatre last evening, Letta, a time bonored favorite, onco again asserting her triumphant sway before a well Ig Mr. Brougham'’s well known adapta- tion Lotta hag already mado herself famous, and it is only necessary to add that in ‘Little Nell and the Marchioness”” the versatility of this clever and cheeriul little artist was enthusiastically ap- preciated as of yore, Indeed, one might imagino that the incloment weather nerved the bright and indomitable lady to extra ciforts for seldom has she imfused such vim and, at times, such fecling into ber dual réles, which are now insepar- ably associated with her name. Considering the mits of the stage, the pleco wus admirably presented, the support eviuensty anuruiug watisiadion, ror 1b must be remembered that many eminent actors have already «ppeured to advantage 1p the more prominent purty. Iu Mr. W. H. Crane, the golickizg Dick Swiv- eller, bad an excellent representative—one who evi- dently appreciated the idea ot the genius who created him. The contortionist Quilt, with the proverbial bandy Jegs, was personated with appropriate rascality by Mr. P. A. Anderson, whose deportinent and ges- ticulations were well calculated to excite terror in the heurt of any creditor. Grandfather Trent fell to the jot of Mr. J. W. Carroll, ventious actor, wuose impersonation last night won gencral ad- miration. Altogether the performance was exccedingly creditable, the fair scene being particularly auractve, presenting us it did an opportunity tor the introduc: tion of additional features of amusement. Among these might be mentioned the acrobatic feats of Messre, Runoels, Murray and Chiford. ‘tbroughout the piece the heroine was hatled with warm toke! f approbation, and there ts little doubt that ‘Little Nell and the Marchiouess’’ will command attention especially during the approaching festive season, a time upon which Charlies Dickens—trom whi “Old Curiosity Shop”? the piece taken—expended some of his noblest thoughts. GRAND OPERA HOUSE. The spectacular dramaot the “Black Crook” was Produced, after weoks of preparation, at this estab, lishment last night. The piecois given with good and fora first night overything worked as well as could bo expected. Mr. E. J, Mack played Hertzog in a satisfactory manner; the Rudolph of 3 Batos was not a remarkable effort, and neither was the Count Wollcustein of Mr. France. Miss Theresa Wood was as pert a Carline as ever played that part, and invested the charactor with much mirth and dash. Her duet with Greppo (Mr. Harrison) caused two re- calls, Miles. Morlucehi and Admana faurly divided the honors of the dance and wore repeatedly applauded in the ballet, especially the ballet in the third act Many of tho best features of the variety entertain- Mmeut were introduced in the paluce scene, and were loudly applauded, the performance on the crystal goblets being particularly good. The drama seems to have lost none of its old attractions, Ballet, marcbes, sensations, spectal acts and surprises all follow each other in rapid succession, and if the “Black Crook,” as now produced, is not given with all the elaborateness which distinguished its first representations, it is at least given in a style worthy of the reputation of the theatre. The curtain did not fall until alate hour last night on tho transiormation scene at the cioso of the play. GERMANIA THEATRE, The Germania Theatre afforded to the German public last evening two of the most amusing periormances we have ever attended there, The first was entitied “Morning Hours of aSoubrette," and gave Fri. Cot- treily an opportunity to revel in vocal monologues and piquant mimicry. The second play was “Nemosis, or Christ and Jew,’ by Reich, a product of the reli- gious troubles of Germany, which is a clever but ruth. less persifage of priest rule and bigotry. Herr Witt, as the “Pious Lambkin,” was intensely comical, bub had his impersonation teen given toun audience of devout Catholics, he would certainly bave been stoned instead of vemg luughod at The couplets sung by Fri. Cottrelly were intensely funny and drowned by the laughter of the audience, Herr Reich's play celo- brates the triamph of civil warriage over the religious nuptial ceremony and of religious iconoclasm over the holy traditions of the Churcih— fainly a dangerous subject, that would be only palatable to an audience composed of tree thinkers, SHIPPING.
