The Kcatliii? iSem! Robbery.
A Fasclnatim; Confidence Man Prevailing
Upen a Yeung Weman te Reb a Safe.
A dispatch from Reading te the New
Yerk Sun, dated Saturday, gays :
The hunting down of the ivlapp TTiler TTiler
bend robbers was suddenly discontinued
te-day, owing te the discovery that the
person who took the bends from the safe
was a young woman stauditig very high in
the estimation of the family. The safe
was in Mr. Klapp's bedroom, and the
twelve $"00 water-bends were net missed
until several weeks had elapsed. Ti- T
bcry was the result of a love affaii - i
lime age lucre :i;;.miuu iu iihs cny .i;ie
looking your..' 'iui, standing six feet
high, of plcasaiu i idrc.ss, with fair brown
hair and moustaclie and Iterid complexion,
and who was exceedingly well attired in
the most fashionable garments. Every
pleasant afternoon lie could be sccu en the
promenades, always alone, walking in a
quiet, unostentatious aud dignified man
ner. Appatcntly his acquaintances were
few. At is;lit, however, he generally
fiequn ted . irtingaud gambling house?,
a:-1 avoided meeting strangers. He was
very well liked among hir, associates, ene
whom today gave his account of the
stranger.
"Oh, yes; I knew him very well. lie
was in Reading for quite a time. I met
him when he lirst arrived here ami I at
once made up my mind that he was en
seme important mission. lie was what
the boys call 'a smooth aitielc.' Finally
he told me that he was in Reading waiting
for .something te turn up and that he was
en the cenlideuce racket. I seen learned
that his business was with rich ami fash
ieiiable women ; that he 'travclce n his
hhajK,' and generally succeeded in tak
ing iu giddy young women aud lelieving
them of their pin money, diamonds and
jewelry. I frequently saw liiiu en the
back streets ?ith ew.j.U young women
whose fathers ate known te be well oil". I

lie I'..-,' leading iiis hcadquaitcrs.
In 1 1. .rushing his assumed name
was Arthur 31. Goheen ; in Lancaster
it was Morten T. Rugby ; iu Scran Scran
ten, James (J. Thornten, aud iu Pittsburgh,
Aimer W. Meutant. lie had a number of
names iu Reading, one of which was W.
W. Millerte'n. I think he has been in the
business for tin years. I can't say that
he ever actually committed a theft or a
burglary, but he was se successful in al
luring girls te fall in leve with him that
they readily helped him out whenever be
was se unfortunate as te lese his pocket
book or have his pocket picked. His
method of telling a story of misfortune
and bad luck generally had the desired
effect. His sweethearts leaned him any
thing they had until he heard from home.
Watches, pins, bracelets, necklaces, and
jewelry were freely placed in his hands,
which he pawned and realized enough te
enable him te live a life of luxury and
case. He never gave anything back, and
his victims seemed very willing te stand
the less rather than make a fuss about it,
if they really desired' te. Most of them
kept their secret, and it was a very easy
matter at home te say that they had lest
their valuablas or th".t their pockets had
been picked at a fair or festival, in the
store or at the depot.
" Well, the young man carried en his
business here successfully, aud it was net
long before he made the acquaintance of a
young woman who frequently visited the
residcuce of Mr. Klapp. Millcrten,in some
way, learned that the old gentleman had a
safe in his bedroom, aud that that safe
contained a large amount of cash and
bends. He therefore set te work te iuducc
the woman te aid him in getting held of
some of the collateral. He paid every at
tention te her possible, professed his ardent
love and devotion, and at length had her
in his eemplets control. Step by step he
let her into his secret, and then succeeded
in obtaining her premise te watch when
the safe deer would ba open and extract
the bends. She subsequently regretted
her premise, and said that it would be a
sin te take them out. ' Oh, no,' said he,
' I only want! them for a few days. I just
want te have them photographed. I will
then bring them back te you all safe, and
you can put them back in their place again,
and the old man will net even miss them.
Yeu may depcud upon me.' He reassured
her in a few evenings after that she met
him en a back street and delivered te him
the package of $G,000 in bends in an envel
ope. He quietly placed them in his pocket,
and, after walking aud chatting for some
time, and eating ice cream iu a suburban
park, the twain separated, the young
woman te go home and the young man te
his bearding house te prepare for an early
journey te Philadelphia. The rest of the
story you already knew."
Millcrten had been gene at least a week
before 31 r. Klapp opened his private
drawer in his safe, and, te. his great aston
ishment, learned that his bends were
geuc. Strange te say, an envelope con
taining $2,000 in cash in the same drawer
had net been taken, lie at once thought
that burgiars bad entered bis room and
had been disturbed in their operations.
Ne one in his household knew anything
about it, they said, and Mr. Klapp sus
pected none of the family nor any of their
retainers or acquaintances. A large re
ward was offered, and the police and de
tectives were informed. The facts of the
robbery were published, with the descrip
tion of the stolen bends. An official of
one of the Reading banks, . who read the
news the next day, for the lirst time real
ized that he had purchased eue of the
bends from A. L.Deycr,a Reading broker.
A number of ether persons had also pur
chased bends from the same broker.
They consulted the broker and he
promptly informed them that he
received the bends from bis Philadelphia
correspondent, a reputable broker, aud
that, se far as he knew, there was
nothing irregular in the transaction. The
Reading broker wcut te Philadelphia te
investigate the case ; detectives were cm
pleyed, and at length it became known
that Mr. Millcrten took the bends. te the
Philadelphia broker's office and said that
they had been given te him by a young
woman (mentioning her name), and that
she had requested him te negotiate the f
sale because they belonged te her. When
Mr. Klapp's attorney learned who the
young woman was she was questioned,
and she freely admitted everything, con
fessing that she took the bends and hand
ed them ever te her lever. That confes
sion ended the case, as Mr. Klapp had no
desire te prosecute the young woman. It
is net probable that any proceedings will
be taken against Millcrten, the chief de
sire new en the part of all concerned being
te hush the matter up as quietly as possi
ble. The present owners of the bends are
innocent holders, and Mr. Klapp is the
loser. Ne blame whatever is attached te
the brokers.

and a detachment of the leth cavalry have
started from Fert Lewis for the scat of

outbreak is threatened and a massacre

Chas. F. King has just arrived from the
Big Bend of Doleres and gives the follow
ing information learned from two men who
came direct from the scene of the lighting,
arriving at Big Beud en Sunday, two days
after the fight which took place at Castle
Valley. They reported that the cattlemen
followed the Indians for several days with
out finding them. On Thursday, the leth
iust., shortly after breakfast, they were
fired upon at short range by Indians. The
lire was immediately returned and the In
dians fled. Nene were killed or wounded
en cither side. The whites pursued and
fought the savages the rest of the day,
and en Friday, the 17th, the fight was re
newed. David Willis was killed and .Ter
dan. Beau and Hall were seriously wounded.
J. II. Eckridgc, a notorious desperado.
was cut off from the rest of the
party and attacked by thirty Indians,
lie lay a clump of bushes aud picked them

for him, when he opened fire with his two
revolvers, killing twelve Indians. When
rescued he was wounded in the ankle and
his clothes were riddled with bullet hole:-.
Tem Cleck and three ethers are missing,
and are supposed te have been killed. The
Indians retreated, and the cattlemen
brought the wounded te Grand Valley. It
is supposed that the May party, who were
cut off by the Indians, went te join Me
Carthy's party, as they have net been
heard from. There were fifty-eight men
in both parties, twenty-eight of whom
were engaged in the fight. The Indian
forces arc estimated at between "30 and CO
braves. The Wilsen brothers arc missing,
and it is feared they have been killed.
Troops left, for Fert Lewis under command
of Captain Carrell, accompanied by Gen

Killed by a Itretlier-iu-Law.
A Sun or iilr. Myra Clark S.iincs Html by
Uer Sen-tn-L;iiv .
A murder was committed in Washing
ton, D. C, en Saturday night, which will
be noted both en account of the place
whcre.the crime was committed and en ac
count of the relationship of the actors iu
the tragedy. A Mr. Christmas, tha sen-iu-law
of the famous Myra Clark Gaines,
shot aud instantly killed Mr. Whitney,
the son of Mrs. Gaines by her first hus
band, in the celebrated Catacazy mansion
in that city. The murder was the result
of liquor and a business quarrel.
Whitney and Christmas have been part
ners in a mattress factory. Whitney was
absent from the city a great deal of the
time and the affairs of the partnership
were net prosperous. Upen his return he
accused the managing partner, Christmas,
with having conducted the business in a
reckless manner and also with having
robbed him. A quarrel growing out of
this state of affairs has been cpntinucd for
seme months, the men living under the
same reef, which is new a prominent
bearding house. Mrs. Games, when in the
city, lived with them.
Christmas is a widower, his wife Mrs.
Gaines's only daughter having died last
year. Whitney is represented as a morose, .
sullen man, of a quarrelsome disposition,
who for some weeks has been en such ill
terms with his family and the world that
lie found it necessary te take his meals in
his room. Persons who saw him en the
way te his home Saturday lftght say he had
been drinking a geed deal. At all events,
shortly before five o'clock, persons who
arc occupants of tile house heard high
words and what evidently was a quarrel
between the brethcr-in-laws as they were
descending te dinner. The altercation
waxed warmer and related te business and
family. As the two perseus entered the
deer of the dining-room where the re
mainder of the boarders were already
ijated, Christmas suddenly drew a pistol
and shot his brother-in-law.
Christmas immediately went te the deer,
summoned a police officer and surrendered
himself. He is at the police station in
charge efthe authorities and the venerable
Mrs. Gaines is overcome with grief, which
is intensified by the fact that the quarrel
was, in great measure, about herself,
Christmas, the murderer, having te defend
her against the querulous complaints of
tuc murdered man. It was Mrs. Gaines's
money, it is said, which had helped the
partnership, and the son was jealous of
the son-in-law, and was, moreover, in
named with drink.
Uncontrollable passion is the only rea
son that can be assigned by the murderer

lis Itupld Approach Towards the Sua A
Tall 8,000.000,000 Miles
Leng.
Prof. Swift, of Rochester, finds that the
comet has grown brighter. Its nucleus is
much smaller than when first discovered,
aud greatly broken, indicating its approach
te the sun, as it is characteristic of comets
that the nucleus and head grew smaller
the nearer they approach the great lumin
ary of the heavens, and proportionately
larger as they recede. Light was seen
Hashing from the comet's licad en Friday
night, which was net visible there previ
ously. This, in the opinion of the profes
sor, iudicates an immense activity and pro
gress about the head. Several stars were
distinctly seen through its toil and tliiy
appeared undimmed. The professor adds
that this is net the comet discovered by
pre i. Lewis swilt. et tue Warren ebserva
tery, en the 1st of last May, as has been
asserted by many, as this is moving in an
entirely different direction. The most 10
markablc phenomenon is that the tail
curves in a direction opposite that which
is natural aud usual in comets. Claims
arc stiil coming iu from every direction ler
the Warner prize of $200. "it seems new
probable that very careful computation
will be necessary in order te ascertain by
whom the discovery was first made.
The naval observatory at Washington
makes the comet out te be a most brilliant
ene. Whether it is also a comet which
has been seen before, or is new for the
first time between the earth and the sun,
has net yet been determined. Professer
Skinner's description of the comet repre
sent:; the entire body of light as taking
something the shape of a parabola. The
nucleus is net at the extreme end, but per
haps a degree back from the end iuthe
tail. The light iu front of the nucleus is
very bright, but net se bright as that im
mediately behind it. Further down the
tail the light is se transparent that stars
can be seen through it. The length of
the tail is about 8 degrees, or 8,000,000
miles. The comet in twenty minutes
moved three minutes of an arc and in one
hour nine minutes. It has moved ten de
grees north since its first discovery. Pro Pro
feseor Skinner's opinion is that it does net
go below the horizon at all, but about
touches it at midnight.
Professer Edward C. Pickering tele
graphs from Cambridge, Mass., that the
comet w.n satisfactorily observed from
that place en Thursday and Friday nights.
The computation as te its orbit is new in
progress. He found the nucleus well de
fined and bright, but what struck him
most was the remarkable structure of the
head. The spectroscopic and photometric
observations were impeded by clouds.
Professer Bess, of the Dudley observa
tory, Albany, says the comet is moving
north at a rapidity of about four degrees a
day. It is moving almost directly towards
the north pole of the heavens, commonly
marked by the North Star. It is definitely
decided by Dr. Bess that this is net the
comet of 1812. It is moving nearly in the
track efthe comet of 1807, which it re
sembles in general appearance, but it is
net at nil likely te be identical with that
comet, which is net expected for one thou
sand years te come. It is, however,
pretty ccrtaiu te prove the same comet
which was seen in Seuth America in the
beginning of June. That comet was mov
ing north at a rapid rate and at the same
light ascension in which this is located.
Professer Bess conjectures that the comet
lias passed its nearest point te the earth,
as it certainly has its nearest point te sun.
It will probably grew fainter in a few days
and then pass rapidly out of view.
