THE CITY. tsr. MAHUH 28, IBS*. I MARCH 28, 1884. « A. M.... 12 M.... 3 r.X'IJ-* * p -“■ NE w e KD : .... eSEIRKE... . .ENE* ENE PniTATK Boxes in Post Offices.— Tti* law providing for the free delivery of letters iv earrieis at the house* or places of busmen of the neisons addressed, contemplates a curtaUment of the ieliveri* from private boxes. This latter mode is popular, especially with mer chants and other business men, and may not be sud denly changed. They regard it as a necessary ap pendage i o every laige post office, and In the estima tion of many the withdrawal of boxes would be taotamount to stopping the malls. TUB feeling has naturally grown out of long habit. Instead ol waiting hour after hour for a post office carrier, and then paying him a certain fee on each letter and paper, as under the old law-; or, still worse, instead of mingling with the crowd, and taking turns at the general delivery window, it was convenient and comfortable for a merchant to send a messenger, who could, by tapping at a special win dow, command tho attention of the box-clerk, and Immediately obtain bis employer's mail. This ope ration could be repeated on the arrival of every mail, and a man would only have to ask for whathe might see in the box. Such i« the main argument in favor of private boxes. The holders can go or send as often as they please, and get whatever may appear In the boxes, without unnecessary delay. Another argument, however, is that the security of ietteis is thus promoted. A merchant is con atantly expecting money letters, and he hesitates to trust them to the care of common carriers. He wants them by the hands of his trusty clerk or er rand'boy, or porter—persons known and responsible to him, and in whom he has confidence. Again : the letters and papers being set apart so * conveniently and exclusively, the box-holder feeis asiured that none have been overlooked, but that his full number is there without mistake. Such reasons may have had force in old times, When there were but few carriers and few private box-holdeis compared with the present number. But let us look at facts as they now exist under the new laws, and the vastly-increased number of boxes. First, the force of carriers is such that letters are delivered legularly four times each day, the first be ginning at 8 A- W.-1 next 11 A. M., next >£ put 2 P. M., next S P. 5 three deliveries being within the usual business hours. Thus a person may be sure of receiving letters without the trouble of sending for them. But if is claimed there is a lack of security about these common carriers. A met chant has not the same assurance ol receiving his valuable letters as if he lends his own messenger for them. This ii a favorite idea, but it is utterly fallacious. What are the facts 1 The records of the Post Office show more robberies by these special messengers than by letter carriers or clerks. Moreover, it must' be remembered that a letter carrier, being a sworn officer, under the Post Office laws, it he steals, is guilty of/elony, and is sent to the penitentiary. ..... Private messengers have repeatedly been detected in stealing, and employers in this city can testify to the fact, and to the further fact that they have not been punished. The other reason in favozfof private boxes, that the assortment of letters into them prevents mistakes, is founded on ignorance of the inside working of a large Post Office; a few figures will show how diffi cult it ia(snd indeed next to an impossibility) to avoid mistakes in boxing letters. • In the Philadelphia < fflee there are in use 2,200 private boxes. Now, what with the several names making up a firm, the names of employees or even individual members of a man's family, the whole lilt of names curmtcied with these boxes is swelled to more than 3 0:0 It is not reasonable to assert that human memory will grasp these 3,000 names so that each particular letter shall certainly find its appropriate piece. The assortment is hurried; the .mails are often behind time; applicants wait out side,there is ro T timeto examine lists of names. The clerk relies on bis memory, and the only wonder is that so few mistakes occur. After years of learning a man masters thu work in a wonderful degree aua it is done in Philadelphia as perfectly as possible. But mistakes mutt occur ; they are unavoidable in the nature of things. Sometimes they are discover ed when handing out the letters. Letters for A, are found in B’s The mistakes is then corrected, but if A has happened to call before B his misplaced letters are delayed, and he is none the wiser on calling the second time. But it may happen that a letter is handed to the wrong party, and then the temptation to the messenger to steal is great. A dishonest person, under such circumstances, will he quick to seize his opportunity, there being hardly a possibility of suspicion much less of detection in the ease. It thus seems evidentthat the public can be really better accommodated without these private boxes than with them, snu it is the se'tied policy of the Post iffice Department by all means to discourage their use. Letters being directed to a particular street and cumber, and the city divided as it is into carriers' districts, the woik of assorting is simplified, and deliveries will be mat’e with regularity, safety, and despatch, free of charge for carrying, at the houses cf The owners. The aasortirg may be still further simplified by having letters uirected to the particular district, as designated by letters of the alphabet: Station J.—Within the following bounds: West aide of Broad street to river Schuylkill, aad south side of CalloTOhill street to southern limit of the city. Station B.—Ail that portion of the city lying west of the river Schuylkill.

The Athletics, the Olympics, the Keystones, the Minervas, the Camden Club, and the Athletics, Jr., could play matches and charge for admiiaioD, and the proceeds would amount to some* thing handsome, say five hundred or one thousand dollars, peihaps more. We have no doubt that the clubs named would gladly aid In swelling the receipts oi the Sanitary Fair in this way. A match —best two out of Three—between the Athletioi and the Olympic* would attract a large eonourie of specta tors, "We suggest to the presidents of these clubs to conrider the matter, and put it into practical -effect at an early day. Both of these clubs embrace some of the best men in our community, gentlemen Of the higlii-Bt intelligence, virtue, and patriotism. Coekection. The announcement in Saturday’s Press that there would be unusual oere jnentes on Sunday in the Cathedral, was, it seems, a mistake. The rem hist appeared in the Universe. and the Universe had its authority in a letter which pretended to be written from the Cathedral with the same of Father O’Kelly really attached to it. The editor of the Universe found so many marks of authenticity abi.ut the letter, that he never doubled it. Who is the scamp that- forged the olergymao’a name, and itceived the public?

Some time slnoe a number of persons were ar raigned in private, at the Central Station, on the charge of conspiracy to cheat and defraud a number of merchants doing business in Philadelphia. The proceedings, of course, were not developed publicly at.that time, and we have not yet heard mentioned the entire amount of the great swindle. Yesterday afternoon a public hearing took place' at the Central Station, of a person who keeps a store in Balti more, in whose place of business were found some of the goods, obtained by another man under alleged false pretences. The accused resides in Philadel phia, though keeping a store in Baltimore, and it is also said one in Newbern, N. O. It is probable that he has a good defence to make, as mere does not seem to be much evidence implicating him in any conspiracy. The developments of the case will place our me> cantile and other business people on guard, and for their edification we present somewhat in detail the facts as elicited during the hearing. Frederick Baltz, of the firm of Messrs. Baltz k Stilts, wholesale importers and liquor dealers, was called to the witness stand. He testified that W. Seymoie Weed came to his place and purchased a great amount of goods; he said that he was reootn* mended by a man named Charles Shiok, a friend or an acquaintance of mine; I received Weed's notes for the amount; those that fell due first were paid, but there was one note for $7,200 that has never been paid. The witness here detailed some things as to the whereabouts of a man named Richter and Weed, who wefe often seen in company with each other. In November of last year, the defendant went to Baltimore and opened a store, and I found the big gest part of my goods in that store; I found them stored in the basement, first, second, third, aad fourth stories; the stencil marks had been taken off, and half of the goods were repacked, and the re mainder were ready to be so disguised; I obtained my goods through a writ of replevin, and having given sufficient security brought the articles back to Philadelphia; we left only ten barrels of whisky in the cellar, which, no doubt, belonged to Mr. J. F. Dunton,who had Bold some goods to Weed; we searched for Mr. Weed everywhere, but he disap peared on the S2d of January last, since which time we have not heard anything of him. On the cross-examination, conducted by G. Re mak, Esq. for defence, the witness said, I never saw defendant and Weed together; I do not even know that they were acquainted with each other ; 1 don’t know that defendant ever saw him, I kaow that defendant and Richter were thick together; never heard them talk with each other; I have often talked with Kiohter; Ido not mean to say that I am a conspirator becaute I talked with Richter; my goods were found in the possession of the de fendant ; the goods were appraised by the sheriff; I gave bail for ever] thing the sheriff asked for; I re plc vined the gGOds from the 14th to the 17th of Febru ary last; the publio records will exhibit the exact time; the reason the oath was not made against the defendant before the time that it was made was be cause we were too buay in business, and not in a hurry to arrest defendant; I acted in this matter under the advice of my counsel; I have made no settlement, cor any offer to settle with any person; I have said some of the goods were paid for by Sey mour Weed, but none of the goods I found in pos se seion of defendant were paid for. At ibis stage of the proceedings quite a war of words took place between the counsel tor thederence and the magistrate, the latter, however, reserving his fire. Witness resumed—l did not say that a requisition would be taken out for the arrest of defendant; did not say that he would be arrested on arriving in Philadelphia; I believe I have seen him once or twice in this city since I got my goods ; I did not hurry myself to have him arrested 5 I don’t know whether he carries on business in Baltimore or not; the officer who arrested him had the warrant for some time before ; the defendant was arrested upon arriving in Philadelphia. Mr. Sternberger was now called to the stand, and testified as follows r My place of business is at 425 Chestnut street; on October 26th, 1863, a man named W. Seymore Weed bought a bill of goods; he was sent to my store by a Mr. Richter; this man was at my store a day or two before Weed came, and said that he was going to send me a good customer; Weed bought $2 400 worth of goods, and paid half cash; I told goods to the amount of $4,700 to Weed, snd shortly after this heard that he had Tun off; the note had not yet become due; went to New York in search of Mr. Weed; I paid Mr. Riohter commis sions for bringing me the customer; I came back from New York and proceeded to Baltimore; before I went there I saw Richter, and he told me that he was at Simons' Hotel, in Baltimore ; when I ar rived there I found that Stick had an agent in that city, aluo acting for Richter; this agent was not the deiendant. THE WITNESS TURNS DETECTIVE, The witnea. now a.tumed the character of a de. teotlve : he called upon the agent of Mr. Shiok, and learned Rom him that the good, of Mr. Sternberger were in a (tore al No. 6 Cheapaide—thi, was de fendant’t atore; Shick’s agent told me that I need not go at that time, a. the atore wa» closed, the proprietor having gone to Philadelphia; I played my game at the detective buiiuets pretty well, for the agent thought I was a true friend of Shick & Richter ; the agent wa> anxious that Sternberger’a .birt. should be .old ; the agent then went to the store No. 6 Ghe&paide; the cleik wa. in. Here the counsel for defendant interrupted, and said the evidence was not legal and could not be re ceived. Magistrate to witness. In consequence of what the agent of Shick told you, what did you do? Witness. I came to Philadelphia; 1 told Mr Dunton of what I bad learned; I also told other .useren; I went back again to Baltimore. The witnea. here retreshed his memory from a manuscript of good, found in defendant’, atore. When I met defendant, he exclaimed: “ Are you not Mr. Sternberger?” “I replied, I am.” 14 Then,” said he, “ what are you goiog by another name for?” U I told him I wa* a loser to the amouot of $4,700. j aud that I bad adopted my own course to fiad my cod* j I asked him then if he could not put me on the track; he said he did not know but what he f could j he said that he had bought these goods, and ' paid for them; he said that he made the purchase • not directly fiom Mr. Weed, but had his bill and re e«lpt for them in Philadelphia-; the goods were bought from Mr. Weed through Mr. Richter: the I beat of feeling prevailed between myself and defen- ' 1 aant; he had purchased the goods for one-third leas 1 t ™an l £ e * r value; the defendant said that he had I ■ shirts, and got the money for them, but ; they must be worn out by this time, as they were ! sold to the army; the defendant said he thought , be could save me some six or seven hundred dol i l sr ?» J- a * kcd bim how and he replied that first • he had obtained the goods on commission and after w.rd. bought them, Mr. Richter giviog him ,ome New York railroad stock as security should there I be sny loi. in the «hirt,; he thought there might be n surplus or «ix or tevea hundred dollars, which i might be saved, but this he said he could Dot do right away; the defendant said that be had sent the good. -o Newbern,itf. C.; but after this I found some of my i goedJ had beFn shipped for Harrisburg, Pa.; I said i to him that he had told me wrong; he said there waa . uotbmg wroDg about thti, that the goodß were firat ! Bbippea to Harn.burg, then to New York, ana then , to ft ewbern; he said he had a drug atore at Newborn: he raid it waa Dot queer to have a store or that kind in that ccuntiy ; all that I found of my gooils in his ■tore were five empty cases, and these had barrels piled upon them ; I found some of my goods in a warehoute in New Toik; they were shipped by the defencant, and no one called lor them: thfe goods xofere Jxi different boxes, And were nhipped par order ol defendant; while I was watching iivßaltimore, I raw a load ol goods go from defendant’s atore to an auction ; I went there and looked at the goods; my Pood« were marked diamond B, and shipped to M. Cohen & Co., Baltimore; when I asked about this. : Shick about it j he laughed, and said it was ! fictitious names; there are two ftl. Cohens in Bain s more; one is a large establishment, and would not do , anything like this ; the defendant also said, in expla . nation, that M. Cohen would not receive the goods, andthat Shick brought them to his (defenant’s)store! On the crosfrexamination, the witness said that he found hi* good* on February I4lh or 15th, in New York; they were in the warehcuie of Hope’s Da spatch line; they were stowed away because nobody had come for them ; about $3,000 worth of my pro* perty was there ; I found 28 cases of good* there; 6 belonged to me, 14 to Mr. Woreley, fancy soap maker end perfumer, and 8 case* not yet identified. Jrseph F. Dunton testified that he had sold about *7,000 worth of good* to w. Seymore Weed, on which he still owes me rising $4,500 in notes in my possession; the goods consisted cf brandy, whisky and wines; a part of them ware found in New York; some got into the ..hands of Mr. Goodman, who dis posed or them to' a pawnbroker; I had received a despatch that some of my goods were in defendant’s In Baltimore; I went there, and found about $i.500 worth of wine, champagne, port, and sherry; the goods were undergoing the dieguiae of bottling: mV wine wa* being placed in Battz’* boxes; label*, all very pretty, had been prepared; I replevined the goods; I found *ome whtiky in the cellar, which I believed to be mine, but the barrel* were so dis figured that I could got identify the property; a clerk told me that defendant had painted the barrels; this wa* on the 16th of February, last month; when I was in New York Mr. Riohter told me that not a dollar’s worth of my goods were in Baltimore. The cross-examination elicited no additional foots. The accused was held to bail in the sum of $3.000 to answez the charge of conspiracy. [Before Hr- Alderman White. 3 Outrageous Cage of Fraud.
