POSTOFFICE ROBBED. Thieve. Get KIO.OOO at Springfield, 111*., by h Dnylight Knit!. Springfield, Ills., April 4.—The postoffice here was robbed of about $10,000 worth ..f stamps and silverware yesterday. The robber was committed about noon, while Fu.'!muster' Ruiglcy was at dinner.

TAYLOR MURDER CASE. Rumor In Clrrnlatlon Tli.it Two of the .Inror* Have Heen Ilribed. Carrollton, Mo., April 4.—When the jury Is-fore which was tried the case of William P. and George E. Taylor, for the murder of the Meeks family, retired Tuesday night it was announced they would not begin deliberating on their verdict until yesterday morning. Up to 2 o’clock in the afternoon they had made no report and nothing has come from the juryroom to indicate how they stand on a verdict. The fact that they have not yet reached a conclusion indicates that they are not all for con-
viction.
There were ugly rumors on the streets yesterday and the town was full of men from Linn and Sullivan counties who believe the Taylors guilty and who will not quietly accept any other verdict. The rumor most inciting to the organization of a mob is that two of the jurors have been bribed—paid $1,500—to prevent conviction by a hung jury if they cannot bring about an acquittal. This story is in every mouth and finds general credence. This fact of the bribery, it is said, leaked out in this way: One of the men now on the jury approached one of the panel of 50 jurors before the peremptory challenges were made and offered him (the juror challenged) $750 to hang the jury in the event that they were Isith selected to try the case. The jury, by last reports, are still out, and there is apparently no prospect of their reaching a verdict. It is rumored the jury now stands 11 for conviction and one for acquittal. There is no telling how long the judge will keep them out, possibly until next Sunday. ARREST OF EXPRESS ROBBER. Manner of DIhiiohIhi; of Property Stolen From the Company. Jersey City, N. J., April 4.—The arrest of William S. Harding, in Binghampton, N. Y., for complicity in the robbery of the United States Express company, is, according to Chief of Police Murphy, to be followed , by more arrests iu the course of a day or two. From information obtained by the company’s detectives, it appears that a large part of the property stolen from the company was shipped direct to William Harding, at Binghamton, who is a cousin of the bill clerk, Herbert Harding, now in custody iu Jersey City. William Harding, it has been ascertained, reshipped the stolen property to all parts of the country, aud through agents disposed of it. Although nothiug positive hiis beeu learned of the disposition of the stolen bicycles, it is believed that William Harding received and disposed of them.
