A COOLLY TLAXNE D ROBBERY
Expert ThicTcsMakc a IHglily-Sncccss-ful Raid on the Postofficc. The Money Order Department Relieved of $2,400 AVhile the Clerk Talks Real Estate to a Stransrer. A daring and successful robbery occurred in tho money-order department of tho Indianapolis postofficc at 12:15 o'clock, yesterday. The thieves carried away something near $3,000, and they are still at large. Mr. A. II. Johnson is chief clerk of tho moneyorder department, and his assistants are C. W. Bylield and O. II. Keely, When the robbery occured both assistants had gone to dinner, leaving Mr. Johnson alone in tho money-order office. A few minutes after noon two men camo in and secured moneyorders. While they were still preparing their letters, Mr. Yilliam P. Ballard, bookkeeper for the Indiana Farmer Company, came in aDd asked to register a letter. While Mr. Johnson was talking to him a well-dressed young man of medium build, wearing a sandy mustache, camo in and said to Mr. Johnson that a man outside in a buggy -wished to speak to him outside. Mr. Johson raised a window opening on to Market street, and asked tho man in the buggy to get out and come in, saying ho was alono in the office, and could not leave it. Thavoagamo leg," said tho man in the buggy, M and I wish you would como out. It is important private business, and it won't take more than a minute." Mr. Johnson hesitated a moment, and then concluded to go out. T he man in tho buggy was also a stranger to him, but as ho had recently become secretary of a building association, he judged the man was one of His customers, and desired to see something about the business of the association. After telling Mr. BaUard he would have to wait a moment, Mr. Johnson went out to see what the stranger wanted. Tho man who had notihed him that he was wanted on the outside assumed the role of a man who had business in the office, and was busying himself with sealing and directine a letter wlien Mr. Johnson went out. When Mr. J ohnson reached tho man in the buggy tho stranger began talking about buyinga niece of real estate on Arsenal avenue. Mr. Johnson replied that he owned no real estate, and that it was another Johnson with tho same initials who owned the property. Tho man said ho was sorry he haddisturbed tho vrrong man. and taking Mr. Johnson by tho t im Bood day. Mr. Johnson immediately returned to the oflice, and to his astonishment found that iu p 1 . greenbacks, one placed on Cither side tho money order window, had been removed during his absence. The man who had notified him that ho was wanted on the outside hrL disappeared, and it at pneo dawned upon Mr. Johnson that he had been robbed. Calling in assistants iu tho general office, he rushed out after the man in tho buggy, but ho had disappeared from sight. While Mr. Johnson was talking to tho confederate on tho outside the man on tho msido deliberately walked through Postmaster Jones' privato room into tho money order department, and picking up both piles of greenbacks walked back over tho same route, and out tho front entrance. Mr. Ballard and tho other men in the lobbv saw him making himself familiar around the office, but not knowing him, and supposing no was an eninlove, their suspicions were notaronse.ru Mr. Abbott, tho stamp clerk, stood within ten feet of where the money lay, bat as his back was towards it he did not observe the thief. Mr. Keely, tho assistant to Mr. Johnson, returned from dinner while tho thief was in the money-order department. He came into the general office, and supposing the man wasapostolnco inspector, decided not to go back to Work until Mr. Johnson showed mi. Onlva short rime beforo tho robbery, tho assistant postmaster had deposited 4,000 of money-order funds in bank. There was several hundred doUars in silver besides the greenbacks, but the thief did not disturb tho piles, neither did ho molest the funds in tho safe, which stood open near by. As soon as the robbery was discovered, the police and tho United States marshal were notified. Several private detectives also went to work on tho case, and in an hour tho whole city was being scoured for tho thieves. Superintendent Trajris dispatched men in all directions to watch tho roads leading out of tho city supposing that tho thieves would attempt to escape with the horse and buggy. About Z o'clock detective Lloyd ascertained that thoblackvhjsliered Hebrew-appearing man who was in the buggy had procured the rig at Joseph i-.ewarK7s livery stable, on West Pearl street. He hired the horse, and buggy about twenty minutes before 12 o'clock, and at 12:20 o'clock, five minutes after the robbery had been committed, ho returned it. As lie paid the livciy hand ho slid he would want the same horso aud buggy to-morrow. Tho man who took the money was not seen after he walked out of the postonico building. Ho did not ride away in tho buggy, and was not even with tho blackwhiskered man vrhen tho rig was hired. Someof thoofficerssaw the thieves around the city beforo the robbery occurred. Detective McMillan saw tho two men who did the work, with two others, in the New Denison House yesterday forenoou. Ho says they camo into the hotel about 10 o'clock, and loafed around the reading-room until nearly 11 o'clock. Ho judged from their actions'that they were thieves. Gate-keeper Hagerdorn, at tho Union Depot, saw the one who carried away the funds around tho depot Sunday and yesterday morning. At S o'clock yesterday morning ho passed through th gates aud showed a iicket for Columbus, Ind. Ho did not go nwav on tha train, however, as Mr. Hagerdorn saw him after it had gone. Some of tho detectives believe the thieves got away on tho LakoErie & Western train, which leaves the city at 1 o'clock, but if they did, they did not get on at tho Union Depot. Superintendent Travis and United States Marshal Hawkins think they will likely remain in the city several days, and a score of men wero watching tho cheap boarding-houses last night. The robbery is identical with that of the old Central Bank, on the northwest corner of Pennsylvania and Market streets, in 18?2. On that occasion a man and a woman drove up to the bank at noon, while everybody was at dinner but tho cashier. The man went in, sent the cashier out to talk to the woman, and, while ho was goue, reBeved the bank of $10,000 in greenbacks. When Mr. Johnson completed his balancesheet, last night, he found that tho exact amount taken was $2,400, several hundred dollars more than had been suspected. THE TEAK'S MORTALITY. A Slight Increase iu the Death Rate, Principally Among the Infants. E. II. Heddcn, clerk of the City Board of Health has completed his report to tho Council for tho last year. It is tho most elaborato ever prepared in the health office, and contains a great deal of information concerning the health of tho city.

AT GENERAL HARRISON'S. Nolalle Callers and Some Unique Presents That Were Received Yesterday. The only callers of prominence at Gen. Harrison's, yesterday, were Judge C. E. Mitchell, of Texarkana, Ark., and his son E. B. Mitchell, of Nashville, Tenn; Congressman-elect Jason B. Brown of New Albany, Joseph Pool of New York city, D. H. Brown, formerly of Lawrenceburg, and ex-Governor Porter of this city. General Harrison received anotherrmiquo cane yesterday, intended as a Christmas present. It is a cane carved from a single piece of poplar wood, by C. F. Gilbert, of Crete, Neb. Tho handle consists of an erect nude image, supported by a pair of high top-boots. The donor writes that this figure is intended to typify Democracy withont 1rotection. From each hand of the imago langs a chain, the central links of which are small cages with movable blocks within. The chains are attached to a cubo in the center of the stick, bearing on its four faces the ace of clus, spades, hearts and diamonds. This cube typifies the Bepublican party holding a full hand. Below is a smaller square with General Harrison's initials carved thereon. It is an ingenious piece of wood carving, and of tho hundred canes in the General's house it is, probably, the most grotesque. Another gift that camo yesterday was a handsomely framed testimonial from tho veteran Tippecanoo Club, of Oakland, Cal. Tho memorial is execn ted in ink. At the top is the coat of arms of California surrounded by 11a gs exquisitely worked. Beneath aro scriptual quotations from Dent. xxxiii,12th verse, and Joshua i, v, viii and ix, relating to "Benjamin;" then follows the memorial of 140 Tippecanoo veterans, citizens of Call.

The ball and banquet to be given by tho Commercial Travelers' Association nex Friday and Saturday, at Tomlinson Hall, bid fair to rival the demonstrations of the inauguration in thu city a few days later, although tho festivities of the travelers aro confined to their own members.

Tho picturo was recently , painted by the donor, and represents a setter at work in the field, the point selected being that where the dead bird is lifted and tho dog looks round for further instructions. The drawing and color aro excellent, and not tho least interesting fact connected with tho picturo is that tho artist is upwards of seventy years of ago. Accused of Embezzlement. Two men, who give their names as Frank P. Hays and Fred Hilton, wero arrested, yesterday, on a warrant, sworn out in. 'Squire Smocks court, charging them with stealing books from Geo. W. Barnes &, Co. Tho men, it seems, went to Barnes desiring employment They were given books to sell on commission., and the warrant alleges that they sold tho books and pocketed the money. They came here from Chicago only a few days ago. They were held for grand jury action. His Wife Asalnst IIIui.

AMUSEMENT MATTERS.
GRAXp OPEKA-Ilbl'?E I-Or.GlVKN. Mr. Frederic Bryton, a romantic actor of a high order of talent, appeared at tho Grand Opera-house last night before a fair audience, presenting his channiug play "Forgiven." Tho play and the star have been seen here before; and both have become established favorites in Indianapolis. Mr. Bryton is an actor of decided force and ability, and his ' impersonation of. "Jack Diamond'7 is exceptionally strong. Tho situations with which "x orgiven" is emphasized are particu larly effective, and afford the star opportunities of which tho most is made. '1 no scene between Jack and Graham, in the second act, is the most notable of thest, and in it Mr. Brvtou does a- remarkably forcible bit of acting. His company is by far the best he has ever had, and tlio work of Miss Grace Thome, as Annie; Eraser Coul ter, as Graham, the false friend, and mt, Harwood, as Denver Dan, is to be especially commended. Tho plav is well presented and well acted, and should be si'en to be appreciated. It will be trien this after noon, this evening and to-morrow e veiling. KXGLISll'S 3ICIUIAY JL MUlU'IIV. Murray & Murphy began a three-nights' engagement at English's List night, and, as has always been their experience here, they drew an andienco that filled the theater and laughed almost continuously at their hilarious performance of "Our Irish Visitors." Tho piece has no more serious excuse for its existenco than to make people laugh, and it succeeds in doing thi3 admirably. Both tho gentlemen whose names head tho bill aro original and amusing in their way, and tho- amount of "business'' they introduco would cause dismay to any less energetic comedians. In the com pany are a number of clever people, wno sing, and dance, and mate tnemseives entertamg generally. There is any amount of fun in the piece, and the performance of it is such as to bring it all out. "Our Irish Visitors'' will bereneatedat tho New Year's matinee, this afternoon, to-night, at the matinee to-mono w and to-morrow ni ght. MISS HELEN" SAURY'S ENGAGEMENT. What promises to be arnost interesting dramatic and fashionable event, is the engagement of Miss Helen Bany, the renowned English commedienne, at the Grand the latter part of this week, in Robertson's charming comedy i "A Woman's Stratagem." Of Miss Barry it may be said that she is one of the most conspicuous and popular of English actresses and must not bo confounded with any lady of the same nam who has appeared in this country. The criticla estimate of her ability in London is very high. Miss Barry is a singularly handsome woman, of great dramatic powers. A few of her triumphs are "Lady Gay Spanker," "Lady Teazle," "Rosalind" and "Ouida." ' Tho best and most critical of London papers have been unstinted in theirpraises. "A Woman's Stratagem" is a brilliant comedy from the French of Eugeno Scribe's "Battailes do Dames." Tho comedy is well know to theater-goers of twenty-five years a go, and the wit, humor and cleverness of tne French author are neatly translated by tho English author. Tho plot deals with plans of concealment and escape of a political fugitivea young nobleman, whose fortunes aro the care of two channiug women, a countess of thirty, who practically by her art saves his head, and a young girl, who practically by her inexperience and emotion betrays him. Both love him, but after he is duly saved he chooses tho younger. The Boston Advertiser i says: "Frank Moidaunt and J. M.' Colville notably gave .strikingly finished pieces of character sketching. Burr Mcintosh and Miss M:iud llo.smer added to their excellent reputation by their admirable impersonations. Mi "Barrv's work is carefu and highly creditable. Especially in the latter part and in her encounters ivith the Baron, the iinenc.- and lightness of her touch are delightful and worthy of the Fieneh qualities of the piece itself. It is charm that her acting h;s, her work in the comedy being done just in the right way. Miss Barry's present, tour of tins country has been one. interrupted succenM. aud her work has been most highly tvoinmended where it has been seen. Scats will be on sale for her engagement here todayi ?j; I'AKK Til HATER "IIEAKTS OF OAK." James A. Heine's beautiful play, "Hearts of Oak," which evidently has a perennial popularity with theater-goers, wa presented at the Park at both performances, yesterday, to audiences that filled tho theater to overflowing and manifested their appreciation of the homely comedy and pathos of the pkry by alternate laughter and tears. No more touching and natural play is known to the stage than this, and none is better liked by the great mass of theater-goers. The production of it given at tho Park is one that can be highly commended. The scenery is new and pretty, and tho mechanical effects realistic, especially the storm of real water, the rescue and the mill scene. The cast is in competent hands. Mr. Ha rry Fenwick, a manly ac tor, flays Terry Devison intelligently; Mr. jeach is an amusing Garroway, Miss Penfield is graceful and eiiectivo as Chrystal, and the baby well, the baby is a host in itself. "Hearts of Oak" willrun all weektwo performances daily. NOTES. Thero wiU be New Year's matinees at all the city theaters to-day.

Knight, as Brander. Mr. Bassett's Faust has been very highly praised, and tho Mcphistopheles of Mr. Vetta is compared to the best efforts of celebrated singers who havo appeared in that role.

The following letter was received in this city a few days ago from a gentleman who went to New Yorkin haste," having delayed his trip until the last moment on account of the rush in his home holiday business. It Illustrates that, to reach New York with the least posfclblo delay, the PanhanUe and Pennsylvania route affords superior advantages: "New York, Dec. 27, 1888. 'Dear Ilemy Tho Journey from Indianapolis to lit w York was a deuchtf ui one. I left, as you know, ou the 3 p.

I will say riht here that when yoa como to New York take that train hy all means. It makes excellent time, and glides along so smoothly that you vould not realize you were going fast, if attention was not given to the distances between stations, and the objects which fecem to be flying in tho opposite direction from that in which you are moving. While I am not in the railroad business or soliciting travel for any railroad c-Jmpany, I am delighted with the Pennsylvania route.
