WIITSLOWS WORK

A Short But Spirited Sketch of His Checkerod Career. A SERIES OF SPECULATIONS. FROM A THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY TO BILLY WILSON'S ZOUAVE RANKS CHAPLAIN IN THE ARMY AND NAVY A SirUK SPECUIATOR ON THE SLOPE JOURNALISTIC AND REAL ESTATE VENTURES HIS LAST SERMON. The Eoston naners which reached be re lost eight are full of facts and fancies con cerning the career ot the iugltlve forger Winslow. whesa sinuous speculations have teen fully sketched In the Sentinel The fallowing extracts are from the Globe as the Post dcu'; seem to take a very lively Interest In working up Window's record, allowing its enterpme to Fuller for the Bake of a departed friend: Mr. Winslow was a man ot high ambition and desired to bo prominent and talked about. He has doubtless succeeded to hl3 lulled desire, lie has been prominent in religion, ternnerance and political move ments, and ras had the pleasure, of prefix ing both "Key." and -lion." to nis name. Now tfcat be Las cone South, lor rest,' or perhaps in search ot Boss Tweed, a little sketch or his liffl and hia eventful public career may be of Interest. Like many anotl er noted roan, he waa born in humble circumstances, ana ins prominence has been gained by his nntirircr enercrv and eood supply of native cheek. Mr. Winslow was born at Whitebait, N. Y., Sep-ember C, 1?9, and studied theology at the Methodist Institute, at that time in Concord, N. II , bot recently consolidated with the Boston University and formingwhati kr.ovn as the Theological Department. Ilia tirt station was at Phillipston and Baidwinsvilie, in 1S00, when tewasa member of the Ware Quarterly Conference. In 18G1 he was located at Chester Factories, and upon the opening ol the wr ENLISTED AS PR1VATK IN BILLY WILSON'S ZOUAVES. While the regiment was ljiug at Yorktown he W8S commissioned by Governor Andrew as chaplain of tba nlcete'iith regiment of Massachusetts volunteer?. His health failing Lim, to was subsequently transferred, throngh tbo personal iulliicuce of Teildent L'.neolu, to the chaplaircy cf the tUsbip Lancaster, of the Pacific squRdron. It was while in tb;3 service on tbo Pacific coast that he first t evelop&d a mania for sptculalion, as w hen the eoi:a iron lay before San Fia&cis'M he wes in the habit o: goiig ahore and dabbling In mining and other fancy stocks, rraking as bitch as 51000 or 3,000 one eby and losing it th r.ext. At tteftdeftwo years he was relieved and order d to rerort at the Charlestown Navy Yard, where he drew pa as chaplain until crJiel to the navy yard at Peasacoln. His health again lading him, r e was discharged from the service. In 1SGÖ be was setiJed as pastor at Franklin, Mas., wheno ha went to the Mei idlan Street Choreb, E ist Bos'on, tfceace to Sedalis, Mo., and thence to Brocklice, where bis experience has already been narrated. Oa the 27th of Augu-f, 1SGS, bis name first appeared ji business or PUBLISHING AGENT d ZION'd HERALD, and this posi'ion hi held ip to February 2, 1S71, wLen he was retired, and Jlr. Alonzo S. Weed, the present agent, was appointed in his place. Mr. Wiuslow joined the New England conference! the Methodist Church in April, 1SG0, and wa9 a member of that organizition when be located cr took his came from the con'erecce list of .active preschet s. It will.be seen by this record that his preaching ai vtry irregular, acd that be has occupied but few churches as pastor. From the minutes ot the New England annual conference, it appears that Winslow was shelved by his associates at the lat eesslon, held . in Sprirgueld, lat April. Upon bis letirement from the office of business agent, be began a series of speculations. He bad previously removed to Auburndale, and bad purchased or v as a party in the purchase ct a Jarm, which was cat up into bcue-lots. lie then built several large houses and subsequently several smaller ones, lor speculation. Some ol these were sold at the time and others at a later period. He was eegsged in the effort to organize what was known as the Boston Mortgage Company, which, owing to a defective charter or other causes, was never engaged In business. By an exchange of real es1 ate In Auburndale he, with many others, came into possession of the skating rick at the South End, which was then fitted np and furnished as a market, and known as the Tremont Market. Something like a year ago the papers announced that Mr. Winslow waa to be the business manager for Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, but he was soon after engaged In business again in this city, taking a part IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THE DAILY NEWS, be having purchased it when the Daily News Company went Into bankruptcy. This paper was subsequently joined with the Post, and Mr, Winslow was announced as the business manager and treasurer oi the Post Company, a position he held up to the latter part of last week. Oa Wednesday evening of last week Mr. Winslow went to New York, taking the express train at Auburndale, and it is asserted that his family bad bean sent ia advance on Monday. He gave out that he waj going to Philadelphia t? purchase a press, ana some have it tLat be announced bis intention of going South for " rest." He promised to return on Thursday, out a telegram received in this city on that day announced that he wes detained and would be here on Friday. There is a rumor that be was in this city on Sunday, but so far Here is no confirmation' of this report, and it is generally believed that be " skipped oat" on Saturday by some one of the numerous steamers siiliogfrom Hew York on that day. From information, which appears to be reliable, it is almost certain that Mr. Winslow and family sailed for Brazil. There is no xtradbion treaty with that country for auch oftense, and It isa significant fact in this connection that, some time ago, Mr. Winslow consulted a lawyer with regard to extradition treaties and the countries -covered by them, on pretenie that he wished to prepare an article lor one ol bis papers on th6 8abject. The Hon. Eiward F. Porter, -who ba- been a strong IrieDd of Mr. Winslow, and has been aasoriated with him in his newspaper ventures, suddenly went to New "York one cay iait wstk, acd returning SHOWED A BILL CF SALE TO HIMSELF OF THE KEWi, and on Saturday bis name was hoisted as publisher of that sheet. Since bis return, Mr. Torter, by advice of counsel, as he tates, has declined to make any sUtement in" relation to the matter. Tbe News yesterday afternoon, in a donble-leaded editoEialj makes tbe following sad conlesslon ; '

We h'ive riot the heart or wi3i to comment upon the pelnful news which wo present this morning in relation to matters involving tho character and integrity of him whose li tme has heretofore been ho prominently 'identified wi:h the News. We would there were a possibility ot mäkln an explanation oltho fttfts wLica would becoLslstentat occe with truth, and with tbe lurtfcer maintenance by Mr. Winslow of bis integrity. But wekriovrof no Euch explanation which is po?sibl. In the deta"s the story told by a contemporary may not be strictly accurate as to tr.e general truth of tbe story, we suppose it must be admitted. We Lavo no polonies to make for him, and will not attempt to paliate tbe wjong Le has done to others ami mot ot ail to himself and Iiis lr!eods. We can not lorget Lis many good quftiitkh of bead and heart, nor tho warmth of our attachment, oerxemed as it has been by years of intimate association with him years iu which we HAD OFTEN TESTED U1S FRIENDSHIP, and bad never, until now, known it to fail. Bacause of this attsebment cur heart protests against recording, in tho paper te hss dor e eo much to t itel lisb, the verdict of our judgment upon bis acts. We leave bitn to tbe people, to his conscience and to hlsGod." The absent financier appears to have made ample provision for bis son, as on the lS'.h ot January a conveyance ai made from Henry C. Wetherell, of Boston, to Susan C. Ayer, sister-in-law of Winslow, of hou?e and Und on Bfsacon fetreet, near Claiendon, valued at $.0,000, and subject to a mortgage cf $18,500, held by the Boston Five Cent Savings Bank, which was purchase! at auction from Wheatland tfc Bird, by Messrs. Smith & Morgan, as agents. This deed was recorded toe same date, and provides that the estate shall be held intiust for Arthur F. Winslow, son of Ii. D. Winslow, until be shall arrive at tbe iigd ot twenty -one years and shall not be disposed of or old uuless by the consent of bis father, Ezra D. Winslow, or h'.s proper lepal guardian under authority cf court; but tee as eent ol the father shall bsutneient at any time to pa&s title and transfer the above property by deed from tbe said trustee. Upon tbo original deed is this indorsement: "Please don't allow this to be published." HIS LAST PUBLIC ArrEARANCK as a preacher was at Auburndale, on Sunday morning of laEt week, w here he delivered a sertroa wLich is described by Ihose who heaul it a a rrastcrly prcductior, full of eloquence, rathrs and high tr.oral eentimeut, its thtuie btiag the j;tcd ttac is to bf; it-uLd among men, tbe cobltrfcss of hue an tature and the duty of men to their if-llow-men. In tho af'erncon be pd-dre.-Hod tL children ol the Sanray School on their duties to eac!i ether and to tbe ir GoJ; impressing upon them tho be?.uty and necessity ol devotion to duty and cf da!iLg v. iih ihoo around tiiem in accordance therewith. A very iur.ny eris)d6 to a disinterested spectator ol tLH sad business was presented yesterday in tho establishment of one ol tha gentlemen wuot,e name Mr. Winslow has used rather lavishly ou the btck of notes. A man entered and addressing ti;e proprietor informed biiii that be held a note bearing bis name as indorser, and wished to inquired about it. 'No, you don't," very decidedly remarked the ixerebar.:: ''I haven't a note out in the world except one, and thit k6ut:ejuan ovtr the;e can tell you all atvout it." ''But, sir, in't this our name?" asked tt eholJerof the paper, showing the indorsement. "-Yes it'a my name, but it isn't my signature; 1 didn't write it. Tnai'a the work ol a thldf, and it isn't wor'h the pqper stoc k. Sorry fcr you ; but it's not my funeral," was tbe reply. Tbe cret fallen victim ret tod and in rapid succession a s?c nd, a third and a frurtn entered with similar documents for various amounts and each received a similar reply. A DARK DANCE

AND A SCALLOPED SUPPER. A BEWILDERING MAZE OF 1JLACK BEAUTIES AND ALASKA DIAMONDS. The society man cl tha New York World, having attended a tony colored reception, observes: Thoee who have read of the brown girls of Oaio and tha Leautlfully daccin; virglbS of Budgpoohtna, acd with credulity imagine that dusky beauty can alone be found emong these, or that tbe Great Ricardo is its sole representative in this country, should have visited the "First Grand Reception and Social of tbe Unkuown Glee Club," which last night darkened the Lincoln Literary i Hall from 9 o'clock until that hour, when with one accord the earnest watchmen of me precinct waKeneu in response to the last ws ruing carol of the ever-vigilant rooster. The Liu coin Literary Hall is in Twentveeventb street, teiween Sixth and Seventh avenues. The building is one ot positive, though departed grandeur, uncountable stories high, with broad basement windows, which serve for the display ct many rows of attractively labelled bottles and monogramatio placards issued In tbe interest of breweries and distilleries innumerable. From tbe sidewalk a flight of stone steps leads up to an illuminated vestibule, and from this vestibule list evening was observable through long and narrow glass windows set ia the inner door, THE CURLED HEAD OF THE CASHIER of the Unknown Glee Club, enframed in a gcthic bole which the 35 cents necessary to individual admission were instructed to pass through. At the side of tbe eothic window was a double door, over wbich a member of the club,high In its esteem lor his literary and musical abilities, with swallowtail coat, white Lisle tarea 1 gloves and natural hair profusely powdered, absobred a perceptible quantity of gas-iiht, sending, however, a re dec ted gl9am from an unsheathed row of hospitable teeth as to each new comer or knot of comers as be threw open bait tbe door upon tbe ball room. Tbe bail room was large enough to accommodate with every comfort the fifty or Blxty couples who were gathered in it. The first feature wbich a visitor would observe was the band, "a good band" the programme called it, and it must have been, lor the music was very intelligibly played, notwithstanding that each member labored under the obvious disadvantage of having his hands encased in white tbread ß loves. The man with tbe bassdrum seemed to get along very well, but the fiddlers found more difficulty, as did the unhappy African whose gloves were three s z&s too big and whose Instrument was the flageolet. But it was in the audience that tbe glory of the occasion lay. , ...... HERB WAS RICHNE39. The floor seemed a theater of elegant Pantaleons. And the diamond?, scores cf rods of tbcm, darting out their tremulous rajs of light, seductively winking acd blinking like belladonna in a woman's eye. And the acres of yellow gold, too, and tbe topazes and garnets and opals and pearls, flashing and melting on sable neckst Who can tell tbeir cost or guess what coveteousness they last night excited or what excellent and untold dusky females they delighted and rendered mUerable? Not tbe writer, as thrust-

Ing bis bands dacp In the pockets cf hi own modest pantaloon?, be contemplated bis neighbors with something of an envying smile.

T!: t"ll was touoieJ by the preseuca of hever! s. ranger,, who were made special guest, einong o' hers an Algerian, with many rirgand spiral seining curl, and a black, llaytian, who rolled a line Cariibean pbrozy in liisee. For tbe re-t the pntj-men were Arnerican?, with deep writ-basids and twn watch chains each. Variety in tbe piale attire was shown in trousers alone, which w ereof every color and pattern. Except in this respect tho costume were alike swal-Jow-tail coats, white (ilove, and geof tally powdered hair. Tue entertainment include! a supper, ot whicii an especial leaturo were scallops served in every fcfyle knovvn to the civilized world. ?

A RELIGIOUS ROMANCE; TUE STRANGE HISTORY OF AN ARAB POTENTATE'S LIFE. ; A Bar-TIsT STORY CF ABDUCTION A ND FORCED MARBIAQB in a foreign coun T KT-I II E SEED CF THE CnCKCn IN ARABIA. I The National Baptist relates th',3 remarkable romance: About twenty-fiio years ago a company of young men started out from Damascus, headed for Jerusalem. Thr-y had cot gone far before a band of armed horsemen surrounded tbem, and ordered a halt. The leader said the caravan nrght nnve on, unhurt and unharmed, if they would deliyer up one of their number, a young man Famed Randall, who should not suffer it be would come along with tbem peacefully. The terms, though hard, were acceded to, and the last lood his companions bad ot bim was to see him mounted on a fine horse attended by the gy horsemen of the Bjdouin sheik or the Lo Arirh tribe, wbich tribe usually winter in the neighborhood ol Damascu?, and ia tho summer move eouth and east over the great plain, seeking pasturage and water lor their llocks and herd3. : THE BKAUTIFrt ARAtlA. ', The young man was taker to the tbik's tent, and to hissurprlse found a magnificent entertainment awaiting him. What does it all mean? Arzi'ia, the sheik's dauuter, has sr-eu the you.ig man and fallen passionately ia love with him, and this Is the adding least. The young man and ArziU ara mnnied. Theio was no e-Cit e lor niin. His ter.t wi8 guarded by niaht a'ui bis person wa:ched by day, Its' bo should esf-ape, and this guard" kept over him ir yearn, j He and Atziiia, however, seemed happy, children -.vere born to thm, and their dome-tic life wh" marked by kindncs, ccu-tsy and true Enaction. Randall raj,iily scqoired tbe Arabic I ii gnage; his wifd as rapiuiy raftered the lOiigli'-b. Their children wtie taiiitht in both. Now, who wfs this Randall? In Oneida county, New Yoi k, lives bis fa'her, who has never seen tbe lac o! bis son. This father is now a man of seme soventy sear?, who was brought up amot e the Indians and las traveled aain ard again with tbe hungers of his tribe over tbe entire Mississippi valley In searc'i of fish and game. At the age of twenty-cue tha chW of hb tribe Siid : You had better return to tbe white people, for among them you can ke mora of a man than among the Indians." TBE FATHIR'S MARRIAGE, He returned, eetured a Wfclh laiy for b's wile, abd while she was on a visit to her relations in Wa:e3 th's son wai born. Tbe mother dying seen after b!s birth, be remained until manhood with bis kindred in Waes, and whs taking a trip through Syri, previous to his return to America, when he was captured by tho sheik and compelled to marry bis daughter. His mother was a Bnp'ist, and he, before he left Wales for the Orient, W33 bptiz'jd. Whou be was admitted to tte sheik's family they had to receive Lis relUioa as well as h a person. Through bim his wife became a Christian; bis father-in-law became a patron cf b's son-in-Ja'fai'.r; bis children were brought up "in the fear of tbe Lord ;" his son has tecorce sheik of the tribe the father-in-law having died. All the surrounding tribes have become favorabla to the new religion, and have pledged their swords in Us de'e$e. Many have been baptized,- hundreds of children have beea taught the new religion., KOSA RANDALL'S TRIAL. f But a dervish, a zealot of the Mohammedan faith, bad tor a long time been endeavoring to stir up opposition and persecution; be strove to have Randall's sons thrown put of tbe employ of the Turkish government, and, failing in this, turned bis assault upon a daughter ot the foreigner, and charged per with witchcraft and apostasy from tbe true f-itb. She was brought before the meglis, composed of oce hundred and forty-four venerable sheiks and eflfendi?, to answer charges which involved her life. The charges baying been presented and substantia-ed as best they could be by witnesses,1 she was called upon to answer them thf ougb. her advocate. She, although but fourteen years of age, and dressed" in tbe nea'eat manner, acd with a placid face, and calui heart, and Qnfaltering trust, responded, "Most venerable fathers, I will reply in person," and theD, with fervor, and la'.tb, and power, holding her Bible in ter hand, and frequently reading passages fröm It, ste made a defense worthy an apostl; and when she. finished the unanimous verdict was in her favor, and tie chiefs cf the tribes pledged each other their swords anew to defend all Christians who thought and felt as Ro:-a did. Bat the old dervish breathed revenge, and determined to take tba young lifo. DEATH OF KOSA, The trial was in October, 1S72. In Jane, 1873, while Rosa was teaching a class of forty-two little girls, in a grove, the way to heaven, the dervish stealthily approached, and before any one was aware he bad murdered tbe maid and fled. The fleetest horses ot tbe tribe, with armed riders, went in pursuit. He was soon captured, tried and executed. Bat tbe work is growing, the truth is spreading, and a new chapter in tbe history ot spreading Go-pel light has been unveiled tons, alike startling and impressive. When the whole 6tory Is told as it soon will be a more remarkable chapter in the history of the preaching of the gospel has net been cfLred this century. In the last letter from Lady Arzüia 'Lh Avish lUndall, giving all the particulars of her child'i trial and tragic daib, cceurs this beautiful sentence and earnest requtst: 4'Pray lor me, that my piety may baas bumble as tbe violet, as enduring as tbe olive, and as fragrant as the Orient." We hope, In the course of a year, to offer the readers of this sketch the entire story, from the hut ot the Indian to the tented church of the Bedouin; but we could not consent to keep " tbe glad tidings" to ourselves any longer, and so have told our story in briet tc-day.

ROBBERS ROPED IN

AND FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS SAVED. A DESPERATE BUT SILENT AND frUCCEiSFUL STRUGGLE ON TKE SLIPPEhY PLATFORM CF A CAR DRAWN AT THE RATE OF FORTY MILKS AN HOUR. The Chicago Times of yesterday Las a special t-lfgram from Toledo, civir a graphic account of aa attempted robbery on the Lake Shore railway and tbe capture cf the thieves: Something like a week ngo Mr. Calvin Core, superintendent of the United S:;es Express Uomyaiy a this point, w?a Informed by a woman, the mother ot ou of tbe robb '.-s, that a gang of men, several of the. ti dichar'4ed employe ot tbe Miore rom, were maturing a plan l r the robbery of an express car ol his line on the air ltno division, which thy intended to carry into effect on last Tuesd-sv right. Tte plan was for a portion of tbe uajg to go to Waaseon, board the Est bound Chicago express, which reaches b'-re at 2:10 a. M., cat a hu'.e through the floor of the cir, undo Its lastenints, enter, overcome tbe mesengr, secure his key and throw the sf efl at Swan Ceek crossiny, fust outride th ) c'vy, when another portion of th eang would take possession of it an i convey it to a pip-c of enfaty. The party on the car were to effect their escaps at" Air Lite Junction, one mile irom the city depot, whe-re the train always stops. This inforrnatian wes de?mcd reliable by the police authorities, who were informed of the affilr, and cccordingly, on Tuesday night, Messrs. Coce, Chnpin acd Tim Hart, of the express compauy, Capt. Purdy and Sergeant Nohl, ol the regular forc, and Detective Cavaaangh, oltiie Lake Shore railroad, took train No. 5 and went to Arcbbold. Just before reaching Wauseon they saw a camp fire In tbe woods, around which were gathered SEVERAL MEN, SUPPOSED TO BE ROBBERS. At Wau?ecn tho officers change! to the east-bound Chicago express. There was no attempt made to rob that train, the express matter beirg ia tbe baggag?-car on that night. The same parties again took the midnight train going we&t last n'ght. At Archbold, as oa the night before, tbey changed to the express eas'.wird-bund. In the express car were some ?150,0'JO in currency and somo ?11,000 in bullion, in cLargo ot Mr, Ei Lacy, mssasnger. Tnis time tney wore not d eemed to disappointment. At Weuseoa four men boarded the train, three c-iml ing on the roof of the express car, which was just in the tear of the engine, and one rewjialnirj; on thefrout i latforai. Mes-rs. C ne and Chapin were in thy express car, secreted by tbe door uaarest the biggage car. Laoy, tba messscger, was lying d wn near the center of the car. Msinb'g sleep. Capta.n Purdv, S. reant Nohl and Detectives Cavanaagli and Tibtetts were ia tte end of the bagaae ear lieferest toe express car. A s'gual h 1 bee,Q Agreed upon by which tbe e luce rs were to suddenly open tbe dorr, ruh out and secure their prisooeis. Pardy stood with a cord in bis band which Coao was to pull tnreo timea, wLeo the trap wa-j rea ly to bo sprung.. A robber on. the platform, after a careful survey at the s'tuatioo. prodnc?d a ttiree-qu'iter incb angnr and bo.el a bole in the center of tfco expiois door, through wbich he observed the location ot th express matter, safe, and messenger, by the dimly-burning light in the car. Finding , TUE MESSENGER APPARENTLY ASLEEP, he proceoded to bore throa cr four more boles near tbo lock, and wUh a panel saw cut out a hole sufficiently lare to get b;s j arm through to loose the fastenirgs. Tte remainder of tbe gan? tlen descaaded from tbe roof and took tneir places upon the platform of tho expres- car, tbe officers remalnIngRnxiously in t he positions assigned them, awaiting developments. Shortly a ter passing S wanton the proper time seemed to have artived, and a man cautiously inserted his bard into the opening, feeling for the key, which would unlock the door. As soon as theie was enough of his arm through tbe hole Chapln seizrd hi3 wrist with a grip of iron and held it there, des plte all his struggles to release it. Mr. Cone gave the signal; at thasams instact tfce door of tbe bagcag?-room was opened and tbe officrra lushed like an ava lanche upon the robbers. Sergeant Nohl, who happened to be in the lead, seizad to a man with either hand. Detectives Cav' 8naugh and Tibbetts each went for a man Captain Pardy, in the darkness, laid hold of Sergeant Nobl. but be being informed of the error took the one Nobi bad gresped with b:s right hand and thus relieved the sergeant none too g)on. The night was dark and rainy, and the platform of the car very slippery. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour, and each robber baa in h:s nana a revolver. Strange to say, not a shot was fired, but EIGHT MSN STRUGGLED IN DESPERATE SIX.ENCÜ on the narrow, slippery platform, tba rob bers endeavoring to throw themselves off the train and the officers to drag them Into tbe cars. ' In less than five minutes the robbers were Jerked into the car, the door closed and locked, and every one of tbem iroLeJ. Tbo light of a dark lantern was turned on them, when they were Tecognized as four former employes ot the Like Shore and Michigan Southern road. Tbeir names are L. II. Uartwel),- an ex freight conduo tor, Charles and Frank D wight, and William Emery, alias "Sophns." Sopbus is generally kuown as "Texas Bill." He is a desperado, and was an outlaw when be lelt Texas, some four or 1 five' years ago. Charles Dwight is well known in police circles, having been arrested for stealing from tbe company repeatedly, ,-rank Dwight has also been arrested tor a similar oflense, but upon trial was r.ot convicted. Hartwell was formerly In ue employ of the Lake Shore road as a frjeht conductor, but was discharged some V. me ago. This is the first onense or any importance laid to his charge. He has a wile ar.d two children living in the Fifth Watd. It Is said that for tome time be bas been in arrears lor rent, and that bis janaiora was about to eject him: that a le days ago te told him that be would be able not only to pay bim up but aisj to pay bis rent for six moot us in advance. No arrests have yet been made ot the remainder of the gang, who were in waiting at Swan creek crossing.

He failed to call for them at the time appointed, but last Monday the same man called at the stable again, and hired a horse and carriage, ostensibly to go to Holyoke. Mr. Burr recognized him, and asked him if be was not the man who engaged tbe span two weeks before. He said he was, but entered into no explanation. Nothing was thought ot the matter, although it waa noticed next day that THE HORSE APPEARED VERY TIRED, and seemed to have been driven further than Holyoke. On his return the stiauger had asked Mr. Burr if he could bave the previously engaged span ot horses und barouche on Tu3sday nig at at half-pt six precisely, as he, with some friends, wished to attend a surprise party at Holyskn.

Tbe groom ssjs that their bpir showed they had had two terrible Ewsats, and bad been blanketed and dried lor a time between. Well, the detectives bave promptly commenced working up this phnse of the case. Some of them believe that the man who hired tbe reams was tbe man who bought the overalls (which were afterward used in their disguise) of Hallet Prew, in this city. Their description to the detective from indistinct memory of him coincide j very nearly with Burr's clear recollection of him. A team which was Been on a side street In Northampton Tuesday night, and which was seen tear Smith'B Ferry very early Wednesday morning driying toward this city at a tearing pace, followed by a single horse and carriage, was so closely described to a detective who is on tbe trail that he walked into Burr's stable and picked out without assistance that very pair of horses and the double carriage, which latter he searched. Where the siDgle team was hired is not known, but Greenfield, Amberst and other stable keepers have bs6u INTERVIEWED BY DETECTIVES to-day in order, if possible, to ascertalr. Tbe theory based on these facts and others is that tbe job was managed by the man who hired the teams; tbat r.ä bad everything ready two weeks bef jre the robbery actually took place and 9 the time he first engaged tbe horses, bdt tbat something tappene J to prevent c. The detectives say that the BPtrfJarauce of the food, etc., found In the School house attic indicates mat it naa Deen there since about that time. Then, having been disappointed by some loose screw, tha "surprise party" was postponed till Tuesday night. The conspirators came to this city from different quarters and at different times; neither recognize each ether in ' any public plsce. Tbe manager drove to Northampton with the single team Monday night, satisfied himself tbat all was right and possibly placed a man or two where they "would do the most good." Then Tuesday night, when the remainder of the gang were perhaps well scattered up North Main street, or even further along, tbe leader rushed to the stable and assured himself that ' tbe team would be ready. Then, cither to avoid clcse observation or to fix 6ome last detail went awav for a lew moments, and at last drove off rapidly to pick up the etrgglen of the gang. How the work wa handled at Northampton has little to dc with this part of the str.ry. Some o: the detetives place' little confidence in tht power of Whlttelsey's family to tell exactlj at what time the burglars left the house, the bank or the town. . - , . .. ,- Gratitude ja the fairest, blossom which springs irom the soul, and the heart ol man knoweth none" more fragrant.
