was robbed yesterday morning of a tin box contain

W hile sitting at his residence. No. 1450 N. Eleventh

lently in the rear yard, and pent a servant to ascer
tain the cause. She returned with a big bundle con
taining nearly all of the stolen papers. About 650
shares of railroad and other stocks and $1300 of

tx)X in the place of the one not returned ; and upou
the last comer we have had the privilege of Jotting

Burglaries and Bros in thin city have had an
alarming frequency of late such a frequency, in
fact, that, all onr notions of the Impregnability of
burglar-proof safes and , fire-proof buildings have
sintered absoln' extinction. 'I ho safest risks known
to the underwriters have entailed the heaviest losses,
and safes of triple doors, hardened material, and
complicated locks have been "gone through" like
cigar-boxes.
A man nowadays that has a money bng, if he
wishes to retain it, must, sit upon it; or, has he a
dwelling or store, he most sleep upon Its roof sur
rounded by ready water buckets. A place offering
every access to a robber, seems to be no more fre
quently despoiled than one b irred, bolted, and vigi
lantly watched, and aware of this fact, perhaps we
should not entertain any surprise at the robberv ol
last night, but consider that Its fate to be sacked
some time has already transpired.
This morning at an early hour It was discovered
that the ottlce of the Receiver of Tuxes, at the S. H.
corner of (sixth and Chesniit streets, bad been en
tered and robbed. Tim safe doors were standing
open, bnrglurlous Instruments lay around, and the
bricks and mortar of demolished walls strewed the
tloor. An examination disclosed that some ji,niMi In
cash and about fttfi.hiiii In drafts, checks, etc., making
a total of f 10,000, were missing. As. yet no clue h is
been discovered likely to lend to the apprehension of
the robbers.
The otlloo of the KoeHvor of Tuxes. Mr. John M.
Melloy, occupies a portion of the llrst floor of tin:
west wing of Independence Hall: the remainder bn
Ing taken up by the old room of the Court of (Quarter
Sessions, Kunnlng between the t wo, with an en
trance on Sixth street, and an exit on tin- avenue
reaching between the wmg and the main building
to the Square In the rear.ls a wide entry way. 1 iponing
it pirn this entry.u door f ordinary dimensions udiuits
to the office, and passing through It. we are at once
in the wide room occupied by the clerks of Mr.
Melloy. Around three of Its walls the northern,
eastern, and western are stationed desks, guarded
by wooden railings, eiich of t hem appropriated to a
single clerk. Against the southern wall, resting
upon foundations in the collar, Is built
the lire-proof safe or vault of the
olllce. It is some 20 feet in length by t! or 7 In
width. Within it again Is placed what was deemed
a burglar-proof safe, of small capacity, but heavily
made. This latter was the receptacle of the mon-y
received in the olllce during the day; each clerk,
who had a small tin box solely to himself, placing
therein the money he himself hud taken, and then
depositing both iii the sure. The ontoror larger safe
is built of brick, and Is closed in with an iron door.
Within the court-room back of the olllce, and the
entry-way mentioned between the two. the homeless
boot-blacks and newsboys who congregate In that
neighborhood by scores frequently sleep at night,
and as there they are in nobody's way
and doing no harm, they are seldom dis
turbed. Last night the little fel
lows slumbered there as usual some In the court
room, a few in the entry. About nine o'clock they
were rudely awakened by three men, who repre
sented themselves us officers, and ordered to leave
under pain of being "locked tip'' a terror to the
poor children. Of course they obeyed, not doubting
the authority of the strangers, and lelt afterwards
gathering on the steps of the building aud resting
against Its walls. Some tune after their ejectment,
they heard a noise like pounding or hammering. It
was not loud but perceptible, and continued, accord
ing to the testimony of the boys, until 2 o'clock this
morning. JTIiey knew it was unusual, but suspected
nothing wrong; mi l the apple-man at. the corner,
together with the hot-corn woman on the stops,
agreed with them that It wns occa
sioned by the men who had summarily driven
out the Rloppers making some repairs Inside. At 2
o'clock the boys noticed the men make a hasty or
rather a running exit from the eastern door of the
biiilding,and disappear in thediirknoss of the square,
into which they directed their flight Previously to
this, a circumstence that they niw remember, they
hud observed two other men prowling around the
corner ull the evening and night, vanishing
with those who hud been inside tho
olllce. Of the two outsiders, one walked
constantly around the angle of the buildicg, tirst on
Sixth, then on Cliesnut street, while his comrade
stood leaning against the wall of the ofllc.e, directly
beneath a window, evidently for the purpose of
hearing whether the operators within made too
much noise, an-i apprising them If they did. That
borner never being without an occupant all night
long, no interest or surprise was excited by the pre
sence ol the strangers.
At this point further testimony fails the re
mainder of the story must be speculation. An ex
amination of the windows of the Court-room ren
ders it more than probable that the burglars effected
an entrance Into the building by forcing the sash of
the one at the southeast corner, and thence
easily gaining the floor inside. Here they stum
bled over and aroused the sleeping boys,
and llrst arousing, then drove them from the place.
From the court-room they Issued on the entry by
means of a door which opensfthither thence they
proceeded to the rear door of the Tax Receiver's
office, likewise opening on the entry. This was easi
ly forced, the simple weight of a man, or the pres
sure of his shoulder, being all that was required to
burst it and admit to the ofllce. Their llrst task
after getting into this room was to draw the shades
of the street windows.
Then they collected the dusters and olllce coats of
the clerks, which hung upon the walls, and gathered
together everything else which could serve to
deaden the sound of the bricks as they tell from the
wall of the safe during the operation of demolishing
it. On the tloor, immediately in front of the Iron
door of the safe, they piled the garments. The cut
ting of the wall by means of chiselB, and Its tearing
away by means of crowbars, were then successfully
finished. The holdings of the lock being removed,
the door of the outer safe was thrown open, and
the burglars were at the small one containing the
treasure. Here their task was more ditllcult,
but they accomplished It. Manifestly, they
were experts, and hud come fully prepared
with all needed tools. Several hours must have
elapsed before they succeeded in chiselling out that
piece of the safe door In which the lock was buried,
but when once It was out the prize within was theirs.
The tin boxes were lifted from their places, broken
open and rilled, and everything else of any value in
side tne sine nas Disappeared, i-.itner now or before
the drawers of the different desks of the clerks were
forced, and their contents abstracted. A complete
ransacking of the olllce was made. MSB!
Something at length must have frightened them
away. This is evidenced both by the testimony of
the boot-blacks, who saw them run from the build
ing, and by the fact that between three anil four
hundred dollars In money and twenty-live hundred
in checks were found upon the floor this morning.
A precipitate flight only would have dropped this
money. These are the facts of the robbery.
The detectives ure already engaged upon the case,
but as yet have fallen upon nothing to give auy hope
of the discovery of the perpetrator.
Got Hold of tub Wrono Customer A Jersey-
man, yesterday, was driving through the Seven
teenth ward a cart containing tomatoes, which he

After all the witnesses hail given their testimony.

On the arrival wf tho Aroostook nt tho latter

As soon as the Mikado's troops had got in tho

combined attack by laud and sea.

GENERALITIES.
Fruit Statistics.
New York is not the only place blessed with a
bountiful supply of fruit this year. There is a
locality in ilichigan known as the St. Joseph
fruit district, which has produced already 80,000
ousneis 01 ucrries, w itn au.uuu bushels ot black
berries yet to be gathered, nnd 800,000 bushels of
peaches ripening. The sources of supply are set
down by a local newspaper as follows:
Peach trees M10.000 Quince trees 9,000
Pear trees vjo.oih) Crape vines 140,000
Plum trees 20,000 Strawberries, acres 830
cherry trees 2i,(K)0 Blackberries, acres 700
Apple trees 100,000 Raspoernes, acres. 300
A similar development of fruit culture is no
ticeable elsewhere at the West, and speaks well
for American agricultural enterprise. N. Y. Sun.
1.1,000 Worth of (Silverware Stolen.
At tl-45 o'clock on Thursday night the Thirty
second Precinct police notified the Central
Ollice by telegraph that at 4 P. M. the residence
of Mr. A. Schauck was robbed of about $15,000
worth of silverware and jewelry, and that no
arrests were made. The particulars of the affair,
us fjlvcn bv the telegraph, were so meagre that
Inspector Walling telegraphed back for further
particulars, and received a reply that "Mrs.
Schuuek and servants were at home, aud saw
the thieves get out of a window." Only this
and nothing more! The stupidity of the ser
geant in command at the Carmansville police
station, whence the despatch came, prevented
the possibility of obtaining any further particu
lars of the robbery lust night. It was, however,
learned that Mr. Alfred Schauck, the victim, is
a wealthy iron founder, doing business at No.
4:50 Fir!t avenue, and resided at Carmansville.
It is more than probable that the house was
entered by sneak thieves, who ascended to one
of the upper tloors and succeeded in making
their escape with the valuable plunder A. Y.

From the Spriuyjield, (.Vnwt.) Republican, Aug. 20.
Governor Routwell's successor does not yet
reveal himself very clearly to tho voters of the
Seventh district, "though some Lowell people
believe his uanio Is Richardson. Rut whicli ono
of the Richurdsons they are In doubt. The
story that Judge Hoar will be a candidate has
no foundation whatever. He is wauted in the
Cabinet, and does not wish to leave it. The
President sent for him, yesterday, to joiu tho
New Hampshire party, and he is now In Con
cord, N. II., instead of his own Concord, where
he has been quietly spending the last few weeks.
He has au cngugemeut on Saturday to visit his
predecessor and cousin, Mr. Evarts, at his sum

be unable to go with Secretary Robeson's party
to Portsmouth, according to invitation. Mr.
Boutwell is in Groton, at work on his annual
report, and, apparently, will not join General
Grant in New Hampshire.
, JHiiiBCHota Wheat Crop.
The statistician of Minnesota, alter 11 careful
tour of observation through the State, estimates
the average yield of the present wheat crop at
1834 bushels per acre. In former years the an
nual increase in wheat tillage has been about 'SO
per cent. This year it is estimated at SO per
cent., and a large part of this increase is made
up by the opening of new farms in newly settled
districts. Last year the area of the wheat crop
was said to be 003,500 acres average yield about
17 bushel, per acre, and the total product some
thing over 10,000,000. With SO per ceut. in
crease in breadth, there is, therefore, this year,
about 1,100,000 acres In wheat, which, witu an
average return of eighteen and a half bushels
per acre, will yield the product of over 20,000,000

race of yesterday says tlm Oxfords pa-od
llurnes Bridge only two length ulie.nl. tho Har
vards having made 11 brilliant spurt before reach
ing tho. bridire, by which they gained about three
quarters of a length. The coxswain merely
sprinkled water in Loring's fuoe.. The judge,
fays Harvard was only half the length dear
water in the rear at the finish.
After the nice the two crews dined at Mort
lukc with Mr. Phillips, who Invited a large parly
to meet them. During the dinner tho Oxford
men in speeches said the r.u-e wns, if not tlm
hardest, nt least ns hard as any thins; they had
ever contested, nnd praised the pluck and work
of the Harvard-". The Harvards consider that
their steering was rather out. making a difference
of from half a length to a length. Luring was
rather unwell owning to overtraining.
The Harvard SnlNflod.
The Harvards arc well sallfied wilh their
work, and pleased with the arrangements which
prevented any diiliculty during the race.
The lionornl Impression.
The general opinion is that tlm race was thor
oughly ami well-contested. Great praise re
sounds on all sides for each crew.
The Hnrvnrilw T.OMt In Stoorina.
The press generally comment at length on the
race of vesterdav.
The rfinics, in reviewing the contest, says:
The inferiority of tho Americans was in u most
pardonablo point. In steering their coxswain
undoubtedly lost ground, but not enough to
account for the distance between tho boats at the
end of the race.
Until the Americans retrieve this defeat they
must acknowledge that our style of rowing is the
beet. 1 lie Americans met with perlcetlv bur
piny, and if the Englishmen go to America they
will meet with similar treatment. May all our
future International struggles be conducted in
the same spirit, aud whichever side wins may
the vanquished have as little reason to feel re
gret lor their defeat.
Whnt the London "News!' nnyn.
The Xews declares that if the Harvards did
not command success they deserved it, nnd
hopes American yachtmen on the Atlantic may
avenge the noble defeat of their couutrymcn.
The "Star's' Views.
The Star says the Americans will long re
member the chlvalric bearing of their oppo
nents, who, though resolved to win, never forgot
that the Harvards were foemen worthy of their
"oars." The strife between New nnd Old Eng
land on the river from which the Pilgrim fathers
started has a historic side, and appeals to the
imagination of the youth of both countries. If
New England had won, tho older country would
have shared in the triumph of its descendants,
but the fates decided otherwise. We are sure
the Harvards would sooner be beaten by us than
by any other nation on the globe.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.
A Provincial Torsion of ilndstonc's
IlrlKl't'n Opinions.
nnd
From the Toronto Leader, A ug. 24.
It is t be regretted that at a time when some
rather hotheaded people are busying themselves
in urging the "independence" of Canada, the
Eirst Minister of the Crown in England should
have said anything in his place in Parliament
which would seem to favor the independence
idea. We say "seem to favor the idea," because
we do not think that Mr. Gladstone's remarks,
which we publish elsewhere to-day, will bear
all that it will be attempted to make out of
them. He spoke, indeed, of tho existing sjs
tcm ns a vicious one, and said that it encouraged
a feeling of dependence upon Great Britain. He
clearly indicated, we take it, that we need no
longer look to the mother country to keep up a
considerable standing army here at tho expense
of the ratepayers "at home," and that, perhaps,
the systems of guarantees had beeu carried
about as far as was desirable. Further than this
his remarks did not go. There are many people
in Canada who are inclined to go a loug way
with Mr. Gladstone. They are willing to
admit that there is no good reason,
arising out of tho colonial connection, why
a largo regular forto should bo stationed
here iu times of peace, and that we must
ourselves soon come to consider if it bo not con
sistent with onr position and standing, and not
incompatible with our resources, to look more
after our own defenses than we have been In
the habit of doing. We have certainly been de
pendent upon Great liritaia to a great extent.
Cannot we be less so without rushing to ex
tremes and endeavoring to force on a state of
things which would, if brought about now, bo
most assuredly a steppiug-stouo to annexation ?
Most assuredly wo think we can.
While we say this wo cannot conceal from
ourselves thut what Is known as tho "Independ
ence Party ' in England hold strong views about
tho colonial connection, and most unequivocally
desire to see it destroyed, believing that all colo
nies are nowadays a dead weight. We are quite
free to admit that even in Government circles in
London this spirit has found a lodgment. There
is a story told bearing upon this question, for
which we do not vouch, but which comes to us
with pretty good authority. A prominent
gentleman of Montreal, himself an avowed "in
dependence" man we might, perhaps, even say
an annexationist lately in England on pub
lic buMuess, had au interview with Mr.
John Bright. The conversation turned
upon colonial annexation. Mr. Bright, having
felt his way for some time, at last put to our
Montreal friend, broadly, tho queston, "How
soon do you think a disruption of tho present
connection will take place i" The Montrealur
replied: "Well, perhaps In tho coarse of ten
years." "Ten years!'' responded Mr. Bright,
""why, I had thought it would take place in ten
months." It is not improbable that Mr. Bright,
in his intense admiration for republican institu
tions and dislike of all colonies, may have made
this remark. If he has, we can only say It is
a pity that such an one should hold an import
ant position In the imperial government. 1
