Last ovenlng something of nn oxellomont
was cnused nt the postelllco by tlie nrrest of
Kilwnnl Klchman, a 15-year-old boy who was
caught robbing the malls. The young cul
prit is a Hen of Charles I". Klchman, barber,
residing nt Ne. ts Locust street, mid Ter al
most nlne months past hits been learning the
printing trade at the lNri:i,i,i(ii:.NCi:n office.
Part of Ills dutles was te take the newspapers
from that olllce te the jiastnlllce In tlme for
the evcnlng trains each day. In this way he
wits admitted te the large room where the
mall Is handled and In a short tlme he be-
came well ncnuntuted nnd knew where the
principal mall was kept.
Yesterday morning Michael Alolsensawl, a
drher In the employ of I'llnn it lircnemun,
who resides en Middle street, walked down
Fast MltUIn street en his way te market. Ho He Ho
twecn Middle and Dnke streets he noticed a
number of pieces of paper en the ground,
nnd upon examination found them te be frag
ments of letters nnd envelopes. He
picked up snme of thorn which he left
nt the station house. Upen returning home
be discovered sumo mero ploces and he
gathered thetn up and made the same dispo
sition of them. The pieces wero lertntthe
posteillco by Turnkey .Shenek and Postmas
ter Slnymaker gn e the matter Inte the bands
of ex-Postmaster Alnrshiill, who Isyet in the
ofiicennd requested blm te innke an investi
gation. AN INVESTIGATION IIIHH'N.
Mr. Marshall examined the letters and
found that tliey had been mailed nt different
ixiintn in the West. Frem the dates he was
certain that tliey lint! coine In en the 4:15
train en Tuesday evening. The lelters must
have been in oue biinilleasnll were Intonded
for stations en the Heading A: Columbia rail rail
reatl, and they had net yet been stamped
with the .Lancaster olllce iest-mark. Air.
Marshall then made inquiry te ascot tain
wliether an' strangers had Ixien In the nfllcn
the evening bolern. One or the clerks had
noticed young Klclunan standing nt the
tahle in the rear of the rental upon
which the mail that came by Day Kxpress
was lying. He se informed Mr. Marshall,
who began making inquiries concerning the
boy. He learned where he lived nnd at once
thought that the boy w.ilked en his way
home through the street In which the letters
were leunil. In addition Mr. Marshall
learned that the boy's character ler honesly
was net the best, nnd be resnlved te watch
and wait for dovelpmonts. He lolegr.iphed
te Philadelphia for all e 111 cer and Special
Agent Abel came upon the 2 o'clock train
yosterday aftornoen.
HOW MCIIMAN WAS PAUOUT.
In the evening nbeut the tfine ihat Rich
man usually came te the olfiije the elllcer so se so
cretod hlmselt hcliind the lurge newspaper
rack In the olllce. Krem this place he had a
geed view of the table upon which the West
ern mail was then lying. The boy seen put
in nn appearance mid went nt once te the
tahle where he laid his papers. He then
toelc n seat tin u chair near by. Ne ene paid
nny attention te him, but the officer, who no
ticed him looking around as though te see
If he wits obsened. Preiently he picked up
u bundle of letters from the table nnd after
wrapping them in n piece' of newspaper
placed them under his coat. The officer did
net disturb him anil niter he hiid lalttmnn lalttmnn
ether leek nrntiutl, he quickly picked up a
second bundle, which he also (.ecreted. IIe
then started out of the olllce deer, but the
elllcer followed and tool; him Inte custody.
Toe boy at once acknowledged that he had
stelen the letters from this satue tahle
en Tuesday evening. He s.dtl thore were
eight letterH in the package anil he had tern
them up en Ids way home, lletlid net say
what the letters contained, nor did he admit
having tii.icn any upon previous occasions.
JIe put en a bold front for a time, but when
informed that he must go te Jail began te cry.
He was gUen into the hands of Deputy
United States Marshall Ilelllnger, who took
blm before Commissioner Slaymaker. He
was committed for n hearing te-day mid was
ntonce taken te Jail.
nn: hey's rui:viers c.iu:i:i:.
It is net known hew long the boy lias been
carryh.g en ids work, but Mr. Marshall
thinks tli.it he began it recently. Hew much,
II anything, he has obtained fiem the letters
It Is (IllUciilt te learn. Although the boy was
lielievcd by his employers te be honest, since
the arrest was made it has been learned that
he was inclined te he wild anil gae his
lather trouble. He was olten seen with con
siderable money, but noneoi his companions
imagined that he came into possession of it
dishonestly,
The imreiitH of the boy aie very rostiectable
poepio, nun inn lamer lias uone overyiiiing
iiovdhle te lefurin his son. Of Inte the youth
has been staying out Inte at night anil his
habits have net been as geed as formerly. On
.Monday night Ids father was compelled te
chastise him severely and he hoped that It
w eulil have a goetl oiled, The boy rofuses te
tell his father why he stelo the letters mill
declines te talk much about the matter.
WHAT WAS IN TltK I.HTTEHS.
Later developments seem te show that the
boy began his work soine tlme age. It has
been several w oeks Mnce lie told n young
man that he had a money order for $12, but
It bad accidentally fallen down the water water wator
clesot, mid he had been unable te rocevor It.
He offered the lxy n share of it if he would
assist in getting It back. The boy oppressed
surprise at his liming se much mono)', and
Klchnian said that he get it from a txy abeve
Harrison rg, te whom lie had sold a blcycle.
On Thursday or lastwoek Klclunan walked
Inte the banking houseof. Lechor et Sen, lu
Centre Square, and presonted a draft. "It was
trout the Merchants' national bank, et Bur
lingten.. Iowa, en the Commercial national
bank, of New Yerk. The number was 115,
!U5 nud the amount 553.75. It was payable te
Samuel Hene aud by him transferred te J.
M. Hrubaker. Klclunan asked Mr. Hohrer,
the cashier el the bank, wliether the paper
was any geed, saying that he had found it en
the street. Mr. ilohrer told blm that it was
no geed te aiiyone but Air. Hrubaker, as It
would need bis endorsement before the
money could be drawn. Mr. Hohrer ntude a
memorandum of the matter and told the
boy that it he would find the owner of the
dralt he might glve him a reward. The boy
left the bank atter giving his right name and
address. Mr. Hohrer made seme Inquiry
and learned that a man by the iniiiie of
J. M. Hrubaker resides at Denver, In this

It was decided te postjieno the hear

otberwlso erdered by United Stales District
Attorney Valentine, or Philadelphia. The
object of tlie postponement Is te have the boy
sent te the Heuse of Refuge until he becomes

U.S. District court for mall robbing. Com
missioner Slaymaker, in making out a com
mitment for film te the county jail, said he

The Democratic slate convention of Iowa
met in Cedar Itaplds en Wednesday. The

peal of the prohibitory liquor law of the
state ; favors the ennctment of a llconse law'
of $260, with pewer te lncroase the eatnote
$1,000 as may be deemed best for the public
Interest ; favors the onactinent of a law which

urges Congress te open te settlement the
forfeited railroad lands In the Rtate ; de
clares that labor is the foundation of wealth,
and that tlie laberer should be tlie special
object of thocaieof the government. The
last plank was nn endorsement of the ad

enthusiasm. Charles K. Whiting, of Monena
county, a farmer, ex-judgo and member of
the last Senate, was nominated for govorner
en the llrst ballet, and K. H. Olllotte, of Des
Atoines, ler neutenant govorner. 'l no last

The state Democratic convention met in

The following resolution among ethers was
adepted by the commltteo : " That the con

Frem the l'lillntlclphla llccerrt.
There is neither reason nor party wisdom
displayed by theso who would dlscournge
the Pennsylvania Democrats from bringing
out the strongest posslble candidate for state
troasurer.
Apart from the fact that the local situation
Is unusually premising, what with Republi
can dissatisfaction, the bringing Inte promi
nence that party's hostility te antl-dlscrlmi-natien
at the very inoment that Vanderbilt
nnd the Pennsylvania railroad have made a
characteristic clutch at the threats et the peo
ple, and the patent Inability of the managers
te rise te the lovel of the new and progressive
era in politics (for particulars soe small bills
circulated by Chairman Cooper), there are
ether considerations or consequence that ad ad
dress themsolves te the Democrats or the
Keystone state.
This Is the first year or the first Doniecratlo
administration lutrusted with power since
the war. It has done well, and will be
strengthened te still worthier performance
by manifestations of popular approval and
sympathy.
Te wlpe out or materially te reduce the
Republicans' majority in their banner state,
would be te come te Mr. Clovelaud's help at
a critical moment.
Te attempt this In conspicuous geed faith
Would be te de a service as great te the pres

ItcblicdetSlS.OOO by 111 Empleyes Hew the
Shoes were Turned Inte Cali.
The details of a systomatle robbery of
lloreland's wholesale shoe heuse, in Pitts
burg, are just leaking out The stealing had
been going en fer1 tbroe years. Last evcnlng
flve men, named Tltrpatrlck, Aletz (alias
Wise), Orth, Kay and Gress, wero arrested.
The first threo named wero ompleyos of Air,
Bereland. Chnrges wero entered against
thorn of larceny, allbutGress, whoisclmrged
with roceivlng stelen goods. Orth also ran
nn oxpress wagon nnd had a shoe stere in Al
legheny City. Forty cases of stolen shoes,
valued at $.1,000, was found In his stere.
Wise was lloreland's drnytnan, Kny was the
colerod iiertcr ami Gress was a poddler. The
goods were taken by tlie drayman te Orth's
and Gress' place of business. Twe or the
prisoners were In geed society and dressed
stylishly.
Air. Rnreland said : " 1 bolievo my less
will reach $10,000. Tlie work was dene gen
erally when the checktnan was at dluner.
They would make up a lead and drive eir
with it The colerod perter says he did net
knew the shoes he took, for the ethers wero
stelen. Wise worked the game very boldly.
IIe would stand up at the tolephono and take
orders from the lonce ' men for customers.
He has often dene it when I was in the room.
An order would ceme te send a pair of
suecs, a ceruun numoer, te a customer at
seme place In the city. He would box
up the shoes nnd send thorn away with the
perter. Rut It was the 'fonce' men who
acted with a boldness that fully oqualed that
of the ompleyos. I made Information ngalnst
ene erthem a Fourthavenuosaloon-koopor,
who has been running his ronce ler two years.
He Is well oil and Just why he would cngage

Tlie Dotnecracy of Ohie, fn convention as

election and inauguration of the Democratic
candidates for president and viee president of

tlie wise administration that lias followed
have already dispelled the illusion that
Democratic success is inconsistent with the

Third We appreve the moasures taken
by a Democratic Ceugress for preventing the
acquisition of unearned lauds by railroad

Sixth We especially cemmend the fidelity
of the Democratic mombers of the sixty-sixth
general assembly te the pled go or the party
in favor of licenslng tlie trallie in intoxicat

hypocrisy of the Republicans In deieating

is In favor or the largest liberty of prlvate
conduct consistent with the publle welfare

the liquor trallie and providing against
the evils guarded against by a judicious
and properly graded liconse system. Under
the present constitution of Ohie such system
Is forbidden aud taxation is limited te
property and required te be measured by Its
inoney value. We therefore are In favor of a
constitutional amendinent whicli shall per
