ROBBED.
Julius Simon's Dry Goods Store.
At the corner of Eleventh and Chesnut streets
the southwest corner is the store of Julius
Simon, stocked with ladies' furnishing goods,
from heavy silks to delicate laces. Some time
duriBg last night it was robbed, notwithstanding
a private watchman is employed to guard the
Btorea in that locality, which, during a greater
portion of the night, is rendered unusually lively
by the modern Pilgrims, who keep up their
orgies in the house across the way. The robbers
forced open the door leading to the building
from Eleventh street, and ran up stairs to the
third Btory, where another door, which opposed
their further progress, was "jimmied. This
admitted them into a narrow apartment where
the dumb waiter makes its hourly trips from
cellar to loft.
Upon this modern vehicle they descended to
the first floor, when they discovered another
door, the only intervening object between them
and the wealth of Mr. Simon's store. They cut
out the panel, wrenched off the lock, and this
last obstacle swung open on its creaking hinges.
They went hastily to work, gathering up from
flOOO to $1500 worth of laces, silks, ladies'
linen, etc., and decamped the same way they
had entered. They were surprised to discover
the store lighted up and the curtains drawn.
But this served them in their nefarious work.
This morning the officers, who are "working
up" the affair, explained that they usually kept
the lights burning and the curtains up at night
as a precaution against robbery; but that the
clerks bad, in their forgetfulness, drawn the
curtains.

John Smitii. This redoubtable hero, who
has been the victim of all the ills that flesh is
heir to, who has been imprisoned, scalped,
butchered, and hung dozens of times, is again
in trouble. This time ke is thirty years old, a
little weak in the legs, and with a cast in his
dexter optic, lie skipped iuto a trimmings store
kept by a blooming lady (married) at No. 2307
Frankford avenue, and solicited the lean of a
red lead-pencil. (Query, "Why red?") He was
net successful, and hastened out. Upon the
eame errand he entered a neighboring store,
and, when the proprietress turned her back,
leaned over the alabaster counter and snatched
$9 84 from the till. He was arrested, but not
until he had, in thieves' parlance, "shoved" the
money, lie languishes now In the Bastile de
Moyamen8ing.
Nifpbd in the Bud The Fire Patrol, while
making their way to their rendezvous last night,
at the unseasonable hour of twelve, detected
the presence of a smouldering fire bv the tainted
air in the vicinity of Third and Vine streets.
Making their way up Into the fourth story of
the same building, they discovered a box of
rubbish on names in a little room used by two
women as a Bhoe factory. The incipient confla
gration was extinguished by a bucket of water
in the bands of the heroic McCusker.

THE 31 US I CI INS.
Tlie Couvrntlon In Musical Fund Hull
lteeolnUona Adopted.
The Musical Convention met again this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, with U. C. Bird, of New York,
in the chair.
The committee, including Messrs. Luke Mur
phy, of Boston, J. M. Finnic, of Philadelphia,
and William Burkbardt, of Chicago, ap
pointed yesterday to draw a series of re
tortions, reported this morning the same,
through Mr. Murphy. As these resolutions give
a very fair statement of the case, we give them
in full:
Whereas, The great progress of the art and
science of music; and the steady, unceasing de
mand for classical works requiring prorensional
musicians of talent and ability to render the same
acceptable to the present public taste and demand ;
the long and laborious study, nnd the practical ex
perlcnce that It requires in order to lit musicl ns for
tlie profession, thereby making It Impossible for
them to devote themselves to oth'r branches of in
dustry, a fact which la widely known to tlie profes
sion ltsulf, but unknown to the public generally;
therefore, be it
Hemlred, By the delegates representing the rtitror
ent societies throughout this country, assembled at
Philadelphia in convention this l'Jrli day of June.
l7i, that the only safeguard against the abuses that
afflict and demora'e the profession Is, bv a unity of
a?tlon and organization under the "Musical Na
tional Association of the United States."
Jlesolved, That the musical profession, practically, Is
unlike other professions or trades, tha latter admit
ting of speculation, and enabling Individuals tj ac
cumulate wealth ; and it Is the duty and interest of
the public to encourage such associations, and to
discriminate between the professional and the ama
teur mnslcinn.
JiMvlctd, That the good orchestral musician la at
present too poorly paid for his services and the
ability required to fill such position, and that tlie
salary at present received by him is Insulllclent to
allow him to hear the long vacations of tlieatres.
lletnintd, That greater demands would hoc ime a
necessity were It not lor the custom of allowing a
substitute In case of a more lucrative and tempo
rary tngagement, and although this fact has never
been acknowledged by managers, It ha been thy
means of saving them money, and preventing de
mands for an Increase ol salary.
liesolvtd. That the charge so often raado against
protective musical associations, to the effect ttitt
they force the public to pay poor musicians, U not
true, because no association can assume to make
any classification of the abilities of its members.
The scale of prices are llxed at a minimum rate as
a basis for higher demands according to talent and
ability.
0 he sixth resolution declares against the unjust
judgment often formed by thn public against thi
Orchestral musician In operatic performances, and
asserts that the orchestra has often to adapt Itself
to the caprice and incapacity of the artist.
The Beventh resolution declares that honestv, in
tegrity, and a fraternal spirit and a desire to advance
the nrt and science of music should be the ruling
spirit that should govern musicians; and althougti
they do not propose to advance any unjust demands,
yet they deem it an Important duty to unite together
in one solid body for the protection and safeguard of
the profession.
The resolutions were adopted: after which the
convention adjourned to meet In the afternoon.
SCOTT.
Ills Reception at Springfield, Ohio.
This morning Lieutenant Flaherty, of the
Fifth Police district, and Detectives Haggerty
and Gordon, returned from Springfield, Clarke
county, Ohio, to which place they had escorted
John Scott, who is charged with the murder of
a banker named Hertzler, of that town.
Flaherty, It will be remembered, accomplished
the capture of tbe felon after a desperate tussle,
and so wounded him as to require him to be
taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where, in
order that he might not escape, which he medi
tated, two officers stood guard over him. In
taking him off our ollicers were accompanied
by some from Ohio, nnd the murderer chafed
under the thought that all avenues of escape
from their clutches was cut off.
He was securely manacled, and Flaherty, who
was determined that this precious fellow should
not slip out of his grasp, braceleted himself to
nlm, undaunted by the cool assertion of the pri
soner "If I jump off the cars luto the water you
will go with me, and if I drown ,you will too."
When the train was nearing Springfield word
arrived that the populace was intensely excited,
and bad gathered at the depot with the avowed
intention to lynch Scott.
A council of war was held by the officers,
and it was determined to leave the train about a
mile from the depot. This they did, but were by
the lynx-eyed people discovered, and hardly
had they commenced their walk to the city
when a great and turbulent crowd surrounded
them. There were cries, "He's the feller," "I
know him,'' "That's the man," and "Let's lynch
him," were nttered on all sides. At last so in
tense was tbe feeling of the assemblage, and so
strong the pressure againBt tbe officers, that the
latter were compelled to surround their charge,
who writhed like a caged lion, and to draw
their revolvers in bis defense.
At this critical juncture aid came from the
town, and the oflicert were no more molested on
their way to the jail. Here, when the prisoner
was ensconsed behind the iron bars, a dozen
people identified him in the most positive terms.
The jail, being regarded as nothing but a paper
box to such a desperate bird, a guard of citizens
was selected to surround it, in order to place
his escape beyond a peradventure. It is said
that a special sitting of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer of that county has been ordered to
try bis case. '
SOMNAMBULISM.
The Terror of a "Perllceman."
Officer Burns, whose creed prevents kirn from
wearing another than a plaid shirt, with delicate
embroidery on the plaits, was making his lonely
way along North Fourth street last night. The
night was dark, the air crisp, and bis thoughts
melancholy. Upon arriving near No. 1014 he
was startled by a spectral object depending from
a third-story window, and upon a more minute
inspection discovered that a woman was hanging
headforemost out of the window. He gently
aronsed the other Inmates, and, as they ap
proached tbe door, exclaimed in a subdued tone,
"For God's sake, get her in before she falls out
or wakes 1" Silently they stole into the chamber
and tremblingly drew her into the room. She
was safe. Receiving the fervent thanks of the
entire household, Officer Burns retired from the
domicile conscious that he had fulfilled Ms duty.
Punt Punchers. Mike Lynn and John
Keenan, reckless boys who believe In coming
the "Heathen Chinee" game over the commu
nity wherever opportunity presents, were last
night arrested at Germantown road and Thomp
son street, by Officer Burns, for robbing a cigar
shop. One of them showed fight, but as the
Knight of the Locust displayed his mace, the
brush was evaded. Alderman Heins held the
rascals to answer.

Mutilated Currency.
Washington, June 21. Numerous com
plaints are received at the Treasury from olli
cers of the department, bankers and others,
that remittances of mutilated currency believed
to have been correct when forwarded
for redemption have been subject to unjust de
duction for alleged shores, and Intimations have
bten made of groBS earesnesa or dishonesty
of part of the Treasury counters.
The following facts, officially obtained, ex
plain the Injustice of the allegations: Every
package of currency received for redemption U
delivered, seals unbroke.u, to the lady who 1b to
count it, and who breaks the seal and counts
the package in the presence of other clerks, and
in case of the discovery of any considerable
discrepancy, one of them Is called
upon to verify the count. The
notes are then cut In two by machinery,
one being sent to one office and the other to
another for recount. Any mistake discovered
in either the latter offices is at once traced by
means of the name on the wrapper that surrounds
the notes to the counter In the Treasurer's office,
who is required to make good all shorts and
counterfeits discovered in money counted by
ber. Any counter habitually reporting "shorts"
would give rise to suspicions of dishonesty.
This system is deemed effective against dis
honesty or carelessness by the following facts:
First. The "overs" discovered more than
equal tbe "shorts," and nearly equal the shorts
and counterfeits together. The overs are of
course pocketed by the senders, while the shorts,
even if found in the money of a person to whom
overs have been frequently returned, provoke
much com plaint and sometimes abuse. Those most
habitually incorrect make the loudest complaint
when shorts are fastened upon them. Second,
Although the packages are delivered to the
counters without regard to the parties from
whom they have been received, so that differ
ent remittances from the same party are seldom
counted by the sane counter successively, yet it
is found that remittances from certain parties
are almost always correct, while those from
others are habitually incorrect. .
It is frequently the case that remittances
reaching as high as fifty thousand dollars from
certain parties are Invariably within a few cents
of absolute correctness, and the discrepancy quite
as likely to be an "over" as a "short." lie ml t
tances from other correspondents, on the con
trary, are quite as invariably short, making it a
matter of perfect certainty when such remit
tances are received that they will be found
wanting to a greater or less amount. These
facts fhow that the great mass of reported shorts
actually exist when the money is received at
the Treasurer's office

The present method, It Is discovered, admits the

have a stamp with 6trap sides to the box in the

can be opened without destroying the stamp and the

stninp Is destroyed by taking them out.
Tntie is an anxiety here to get
News from Corea.
Baron Gerolt and Minister Thornton, who were to
leave for home to-day, are ordered to remain until
farther advices. It is expected that the Uulted
Mates, England, France, and Prussia will unite with
their fleets and by force compel the Coreans to make
terms.
. The Coreans are represented as having a very
large standing army and a powerful navy. Tuls Is
wholly unexpected. Tbe waters about Corea are
diillcult of navigation. War vessels are cautious In
approaching them. Comparatively nothing Is known
of tbe channels by outside barbarians. If civilized
governments attempt to punish the Coreans, a repe
tition of tbe Abyssinian war on a much larger scale
is anticipated. The Coreans are well disciplined
and have good arms.
Either tbe attempt to coerce must be abandoned
or carried out at great expense. The subject caused
a lively discussion at the Navy Department.
Admiral Porter remains here awaiting Instruc
tions of the Cabinet meeting on receipt of tho next

Exclusively to The Evening Telegraph,
lleturn of General Sherman.
Washington, June 21. General Sherman has re
turned from his extended tour of Inspection
throughout the West and Southwest, and is again
at his office in the War Department to-day, busily
engaged In attending to an accumulated mass of
correspondence and other business. The General
is in excellent health, and expresses himself much
gratified with the remilt of his Inspection, lie has
given particular attention to the condition of Indian
affairs In the Southwest, and considers the appro
liensions entertained in some quarters of a wide
spread Devastating Indian War
along the Texan irontier to be in a great measure
unfounded. In regard to the alleged threatening
attitude of the Indians on the Tatuin reservation,
General Sherman says It Is true ttey have recently
manifested a restive and hostile disposition, and iu
case they do not observe their treaty obligations, the
Brut one of which is to keep the peace, he will, as a
matter of course, recommend the civil authorities to
cease furnishing them with any supplies, and will
then see that vigorous measuies are employed to
promptly repress and punish all raids and other out
rages. Although these Indians number some seven thou
sand, they canuot bring into the fletd more than
seven or eight bnndred warriors, and the troops
under command of General lieyuolds, In whom the
people of the department have entire confidence,
which is shared by General Sherman, will, la the
latier's opinion, prove adequate lor the service re
quired of them.
Appropriations avallablo will be nsed to the fullest
extent, and the Secretary of War has to-day given
orders for an Immediate supply of six hundred
horses to remount the cavalry in General Reynolds'
department. Congress having only appropriated a
sufficient sum to furnish about two thousand horses,
the abvve number U all that can be Bpared for that
section of country. The General's view of the situa
tion, on the whole, seems to be much more hopeful
than many parties have heretofore supposed.

I HAKES IN COUNCIL.
A Great Burcanrer's Descendant An Im
mense Property at Stake.
The heirs of Sir Francis Drake, once the favor
ite of "glorious Queen Hess," and ye far-famed
buccaneer of the Bpsnish seae, met this morninir
at tbe Brandreth House, comer ot Canal street
and Broadway. The parlor and extension on
the second floor were prepared for the accom
modation of the
DRAKES, '
male and female, of whom there are upwards
of 1500 in the United States, principally located
in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
and Vermont. Tbe reason for this famous
gathering was to hear a report of tho progress
made by the persons in whose hands the task of
proving that the
AMERICAN DRAKES
had a better right to the $125,000,000 worth of
property in England left bv the far-famed bus
cancer, in direct entail to his male descendants,
ns according to the English law of primogeni
ture. THE BRIEF HISTORY
of the American brauch may be summed up in a
few words.
AN IRISIt DRAKE,
who bod occasion to go to England some years
ago, discovered, while searching for his own
advantage, that the Drakes of fidcatawa, New
Jerrey, had by far the best right to this pro
perty, and with the generosity peculiar to his
race, informed them of bis discoverv. Immedi
ately there was a convocatiou of the illustrious
brood in this city, and measures wero takeu to
obtain all the necessary link to the legal chalu
required to hold the plea and recover the money.
Dr. Beckwith had circular! sent to all parts of
the country, and ere long such a number of
Drakes was found that no little difficulty was
experienced iu sitting, uuravclling, aud couuect
ing. At last it beca ue necessary to carry the
search into Great Britain, and application was
made to Minister Adams, tiicu iu London, lie
courteously referred
TUB INQUIRING DRAKES
to a Mr. Fisher, a legal gentleman whose busi
ness it was to aseertalu all about Drakes at
Doctors' Commons and amoug musty records.
A subscription was raised to fee him, and haviug
touched the "needy," ho proceeded energeti
cally with bis investigation. Its results for a
time were entirely satisfactory, and proved be
3 ond a doubt that descendants of tbe noble Sir
Francis had emigrated to and settled in America.
Moreover, bo learned that the entail had been
violated in 1740, and the property given to a
brauch two removes from the legitimate heirs
a female branch at that. Then it became evident
to those investigating on this side of the water
that the branch depilved of Us entailed rights
had settled in tbe colonies, now the United
States, either in New Hampshire or the Jer
seys. The descendants of each are equally con
fident of the priority of their claims, but
continue to assemble in the laudable desire of
attaining the truth. The genealogy of each
seems to be satisfactorily traced back to Its
prime source Sir Francis Drake. But and
here is the great stumbling block the link
necessary to connect either one with the former
male beir who was unaccountably disentailed
so to speak is wanting. And hence the work
goes on. AT. Y. Express, last evening. .
HORRIBLE SUICIDE.
An Insane Woman Burns Herself to
Death.
The St. Louis Democrat of J une 19 has the
following:
DetailB of a horrible suicide were yesterday
gathered at a Coroner's inquest held at No. 717
South Pratt avenue, on the body of Mrs. Isabelle
W. Stricklang.
Tbe woman resided at the number mentioned,
with ber mother, several children, and her hus
band. The latter is an engineer on the river
and a great portion of the time away from home.
His wife, who by the way was forty-two years
of age, had lately given evidence of insanity.
Although attended by experienced physiclaus,
she gradually grew more violent, and about a
month ago her relatives, who watched her care
fully, were led to believe that she intended to
commit suicide.
She rose about 6 o'clock yesterday morning,
and soon after left the house. A neighbor liv
ing in tbe next house saw her walk to the bank
of a small pond a few rods distant, and from
her actions he supposed she was about to throw
herself into tbe water. He at once called to
ber, and told her to return to the house, which
she readily did.
While the family were preparing for break
fast she went to her room, changed a new and
expensive dress she bad ou for a cheap calico,
and descended to the dining-room. There she
procured a good-sized coal-oil lamp, well filled
with oil, and with a hand ml of matches she
proceeded to the cellar. Unscrewing the top of
the lamp she emptied the oil over her clothing,
and alter thoroughly saturating it set fire to it.
Her condition was, of course, quickly discovered
by ber relatives on the floor above, and the
llanies were, as soon as possible, extinguished.
This was not done, however, until she was
fatally burned, and although a physician was
instantly summoned, he proclaimed her case
hopeless. The miserable woman lived until 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when death ended
her sufferings. The suicide is one of the nioit
horrible on record, and the appearance of the
scorched and blackened body, as viewed at the
inquest yesterday, was most unpleasant.
THE STATE OF PARIS.
The Return of Citizens and the Revival
of Trade.
The London News' Paris correspondent writes
on the tith Inst.:
Frenchmen are pouring back by thousands to re
sume their former life in the cauita), and the irre
pressible Briton arrives in a steadily increasing
stream. The more strangers thd better (or Paris.
'Come one come all!" w theory of tbe impover
ished citizens. You must know that it is sale aud
easy to come, and then, perhaps, you will try tlie
excursion yourself. Be sure to obtain a passp3rt,
and to have It duly countersigned by the French
authorities In England; take your ticket for Pans,
step luto the train and here you are. The only
troubles likely to aiisu will be cleared away by shov
ing an EnglUh passport and at the worst a guide
book, a white bat, and, it pusslble, red whiskers will
smooth over evtry difllcnlty. Every French oiliclal
remembers the true type of VAnglaU en voyage, and
welcomes blm. IAnolai en voyage U not a Federal,
lie Is a safe man, who brings the money sa much
needed In Paris to renew her trad. There is no
need that he should point over gleefully at ruins
which he may find, a.s I have seen mine do and
shout to Jack or Tom, "I bav, here's a glorious
suiah!" But he may see everything worthy of
attention, aud note the curious revival of Parialu
life, without the least daiifr or auuoyanoe. The
city is once agalu 1 p n to all the world. Tli iae
patrols In the iret will not harm quiet passers-oy,
and even if we should prefer to be left undisturbed
in the cafe until after 11 o'clock at night, it la no
such dreadful bardtihlp to have to keep early hours.
Mind te do whatever the mllttory wish. That Is
your great stand-by in the way of advice. Mind,
alto, to keep In the .middle of the street when the
warning sentry erics A u large They are mm afraid
of pttroleum.and the sentry is in earnest la what he
(if the bitter feelings- hidden nnder the "order"
which relRns in Pans I will say not a word. There
has been stern work done on both sides, and one
must own that the repression has been very sever
A traveller who comes to ace the city had better
keep clear of politics, or, U he needs must know what
"going on, bad better run over hy the railway to
Versailles and gather some scraps ol the gossip of
the Assembly. 1 ho fate of France is to be quietly
settled among the parliamentary gentlemen at Ver-!l!!)1'8-,'t,ltly
,tue." did I say? Who can tell?
The old headquarters of the invader la now the
headquarters of rnral Frenchmen, and they will
soon show us how far they mean to carry the "reao
tioD." Hut active, restless Paris is for the moment
chained ana dumb.
EXPRESS MOXEY PACK AO ES.
The Necessity for Great Caution InDellv.
erlng Them.
The Albany Journal of last evening says-
A package couslgned to Mr. C. Gibsoncon
taining 2500, arrived at the American Mer
chantl' Union Express Company's oflloe, and
as is usual, a note was despatched to Mr. Gibl
son informing him of the circumstance. The
noie, vy misiaKc, was uenvered to Charles W
Gibson, a carpenter employed at Clemishire's
About 4 o'clock, as is alleged. Gibson f
tbe office for the package, and on being told to
procure some one to identify him, went out and
soon after returned with his brother
Jesse J. Gibson. He identified his
brother as C. Gibson, but Jesse
being himself a stranger, had also to be
identified, and was, by Justice Nugent. Every
thing appeared all right. The package was de
livered to Gibson. Shortly after they had gone.
Mr. Sly received a despatch from C. Gibson in
New York, requesting the company to retain
the package until he should call for it. The
wrong man having eAidently gotten possession
of it, tbe company secured the services of pri
vate detective Kelly, who worked the case np,
ascertaining tbe parties were the brothers above
mentioned, and that they boarded in Westerns
street.
Procuring the assistance of Sergeant Costl
fcan, he effected their arrest, and vesterday
morning they were arraigned and committed
for further examination. It is but just to state
that both of the young men have always borne
a good character, and that they claim they were
innocent of doing wrong, honestly thinking the
money was Intended for them.
The case had not been disposed of at S o'clock
this afternoon.
