R, Williamson suo- ceeded in capturing a mail earrier yesterday who has been iifling lebtors tor months, Post~master Fowlkes has been unable to discover the culprit owing to the shrewduoess employed in the thefts, Although suspicion has rested upon Alex, Ferguson, a colored mail-carrier, sufficient proof was not ob- tained to establish his gailt, Many cr mplaints have come into the office and the post-master determined to fer- rst out the rascal. Inspector William- son hid himself in the distributing room yesterday morning and awaited the arrival of Ferguson. No sooner had he begun his work than he selected a few lotte and stuffed them in his pock- ot. Caught io the act the Inspector ob- tained tbe letters and found that they all contained money. There is no tell- ing how much bas been stolen, but a lottery agent has lost $400 or $500 Graves & Mahaffey, publishers, upward of $100, and many smaller amounts sre known to have been lost. Ferguson is in jail. He says he has spent every cent of the stolen money.
