as well as in almost all tip other Pittaburgh
papent t relating to the receipts of crude po-

with the. corresponding months of 1867, we
find in, each case the writer of these, arti
clew:makes the receipts of 1867 larger then
those of 1868. We do. not know his Motive
for:Aging so or where he gets his figures,
but , we do know that his figures are not re
liable, to-wit: Per , instance, we will take
County Ganger's certificates and his records
of all the crude'-oil received at this pOint
up .to July 30, 1867, gauged.and not gauged,
which will...foot t up the total amount of
558,956 barrels. , This includes every bar
rel, of oil received at Pritsbrirgh
during the first seven months of
1887. % Now the same Gauger has actually
ganged from January 1, 1808, to July 28th,
1868, 618,253 barrels, making an excess of
pil received and- gauged here to date, as
compared with last year, of 59,297 barrels.
Last yeai we; had no railroad connections
with the oil regioug; this year we have and
wo can give sales of 58,000 barrels delivered
On board cars at Venango city' for this
market. None or- little -of this oil' was.
gauged after arriving here—certainly not
over 6,000 barrels, and is consequently not
included in the Gat:gees total.`' We will add'
this 50,00,0 to the excess of 50;297; which will
give us.an excess of 109.297 barrels to date
over 1867. 2. • -
Agalmseveral of our prenrieent refiners
and tank men have their buyera.in the oil
regions, andkhci oil' that is bought for. these*
parties there' and shipped to their; tanks or
refineries here Is not gauged when It arrives
There, and consequently is not included in
the above reaelpts for 1887.‘'' We are oogni

All our citizens, as well. as the strangers

of these corners wo.notlee.,,that the School
master is taking his 'summer vacation.
This accounts, no doubt, fot the incorrect
orthography.. It will be observed by those

name, so suggestive of distinguished

The Baudnghofißobpay—Addltional Par-
ticniars.
In our issue of Thursday we published an
account of the arrest of the Berminghoff
robbers, clipped from the Petroleum Cen
ter Daily Record extra of Tuesday.
We have for several weeks past been con
versant with the facts therein related, but
.
at the request of Detective Hague, from
whom we receeived the information, re
trained from giving them to our readers,
lest the publication of the matter might in
some way interfere, and perhaps frustrate
some of his well laid plans. The publica
tion in the _Record, we consider, relieved us
from any further secrecy in the matter.
The robbery was committed on the night
of the, 16th of January, and the facts con
nected with it having heretofere been pub
lished in detail, we deem it unnecessary to
reproduce them. The amount of property
stolen was about $365,000--$O,OOO in green
backs:, and the remainder in Government
bonds. A large reward was offered for the
arrest of the thieves and recovary of the
Property, which had a tendency to attract
detectives from all . parts of the country.
A number of persons were arrested on sus- 1
picion, but for the want of evidence were
discharged, and the whole affair was so
shrouded in mystery that the detectives,
who were at first elated with a hope, of suc
cess, gave up in despair. ---
.- Mr. Joseph Benninghoff, son of the man
who was robbed, s came to this city and after
severer ititerviews With ex-Chief of 'Police
Robert Hague, that officer took the affair in I
hand, and since then -has devoted his'
entire time to "working np" the,"job."
The result 'Of his almost incessant;labors,
and,the assistance rendered hinr by' officer
McKelv, ii-the capture of five of the per
petrators of the robbery, who are now safe
ly caged in the Franklin (Venally) county)
jail.
With the information Mr: Hague re
ceived from' the German at Meadville, . the
substance of which we published yester
day, and statements made by one of the
gang, whO it appears,was dissatisfied with
his share - of the spoils, the Yeteranale
tective commenced closing in upon his
"genie." - He started West about the 20th
-of April; and proceeded to Omaha, where
he remained for several-days: but finding
that be was not on the right track, returned
to this city. After'a visit to the scene of
the robbery, „he . again started West, and
went as far as the Pacific Railroad was
completed, hoping to find Jim Saeger, the
ring leader of the gang, in that locality:
. Hearing nothing of his man, he took the
backtrack again and returned through
Igainsas and Missouri, after Making a tour
Through - Colorirdo and Nebraska, and ar
rived home Without obtaining any definite
'information! He made a third trip West,
and again returned without his man.
He had undertaken the job in earnest and
was not to be'disheartened by a few 'ensue;
cessful trips, and after a few - ,days rest ,he
started to Illinois where after a few 'days
I search -he arrested Jacob Shoppert. who
was brought to this city and confined in our
jail. He obtained Information from Shop
pert which induced trim to go-to Philadel-
phia, where hiarrested two others, one of
wheal proVed to be a Most valuable party
in aiding in the arrest of others of the
party, has accompanied officer Hague
on several trips," , and we are informed
is now in Canada with him. While making
his trips to the West, officer Hague obtain
ed information that Louis: Weldy, another
of the thieves was living: at Akron, Ohio,
. where he had ! pAirchased an extensive dis,
tillers and dwelling house. ''ltavas deem:
ed better not to, arrest him immediately;
and he would have still been in-fancied se.
curity but for the interference" of Shoe
pert.. White Shoppert was in - custody
here' he wrote a letter to Weldy' inform
ing him that Hague knew all about
the robbery, and was preparing to arrest
him. Wady was advised to "skip," as he
would certainly be "pulled." This letter was
intercepted in the jail office, and when its
contents became anown it was deemed
advisable to secure the arrest of Weldy.
Accordingly officer hlcßelvey, who 1
was also connected with ex-Chiet Hague, 1
and rendered - invaluable assistance in ,
working up the case, on Wednesday of last
week started out to Ohio, and, having se
cured the proper papers, proceededist once
to Akron. Accompanied by the Sheriff of
the county, he proceeded to Weldy's estab
lishment and arrested him. The prisoner:i
house was searched and some $3,500 in.
gold and silver, and about seventy-five
dollars in greenbacks were foriiid. Weldy
-was brought to the city on Saturday last,
"'and remained t i n the Allegheny lock-up
until Monday morning. On that danboth,l
he and Shoppert were taken to Franklin,-
by - I:dicer McKelvey, and are now in jail at- ,
that place. A dispatch was also , sent to
Sitegertown the same day, , directing the
arrest of George Miller, which' was affected.
The parties now in jail are Shoppert,' Weldy
and Miller, but the name of the other is
withheld. :
