Hunted Down The Great Pennsylvania Robbery. A correspondent of the St. Louis Globe, writing from Denver, Colorado, under date of April 20th, gives the fol lowing graphic narrative : An extraordinary robberj was commit ted, it will be recolleeted, at Petroleum Center, Venanjjo county. Pennsylvania, some time in 18G8, the victim being an old gentleman, named Benninghoff, an oil king and a millionaire. Five men, effectually disguised, entered Benniojr hoff's house early in the evening, while the family were at supper, and, after "bucking" and "gagging" the inmates, from the oldest to the youngest, rob bed one of two safes, which stood together in a bed room, of a sum little short of $500,000. The money was in the shape of greenbacks, mostly, in bills ol large denomination. The safe contained, along with this currency, something Dear SG0, 000 in gold, which being too bulky for convenient handling, was left scattered about the floor. In the other safe was nearly a million of dollars. This was se cured, however, by a combination lock, which was known only to this old gentle man's son, who happened to be absent at the time, but who returned to the house shortly after the flight of the robbers. The leaders of the gang were James Saeger and a man named Pheiffen. Of the other four two were professional bur gler. who had been brought from Phila delphia under promises of reward by Sae cer. They carried the greenbacks away in a pillow slip. After secreting the the plunder and removing their disguises, they all dropped into a ball room singly, and spent the remainder of the night in the joyous mazes of the dance. The nextday theoutrage waschronicled in every, daily uewspaper in the land, fn Petroleum, indeed iu all Pennsylvania, it was the sole'topic of talk. Saeger was a merchant, moderately well off and en joying the confidence of his acquaint ances, at least to an average degree. Two days after the robbery had been commit ted, and while the excitement was at fever heat, not only at Petroleum Centre, but throughout Western Pennsylvania, Sea gcr stole the greenbacks from the place where they had been secreted, and, giv ing his pals" the slip, i. e., the pillow slip, boarded a train, in broad daylight, and rode away in the direction of Pitts burgh, still not being suspected. Soon after two more out of the unsuspected party of five suddenly and mysteriously difappeared. The whereabouts ef these two men remain a mystery to this day. Then suspicion fell upon Pheiffen and the other remaining one. They were ar rested, tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary one for seven and the other for fifteen years. Saeger went to Pittsburgh, got a situa tion 88 stevedore on a steamboat, and soon turned up in Xew Orleans. From New Orleans he sailed for Cuba. He remain ed a while in Cuba, and then sailed to Ilio Janeiro. He stayed there a short time, and then sailed around to Austra lia. In course of time he found his way across to Old Mexico. Then he wan dered up through the northern states of the old empire into lower and finally into upper California. But he was too rest less to tarry long in a place, and so he crossed Arizona in Texas, and settled down at San Antonia. In Texas he is known only by the name of T. L. MeGee. He became, in a short time, one of the best kown of the successful cattle owners of Texas. His brand is now on forty thousand head of bovines. He is, moreover, one of the best known characters of the Texan fron tier, having been exposed to all maooer of dangers, and made innumerable hair breadth escapes, bcth from copper colored and palefaced foes. He has traversed all the cattle-trails between Texas and Col orado. He has of late years furnished employment to a large number of stock men, mostly of the roughest and toughest stripe. McGee had some cattle which he want ed to put upon the Denver market. So he seleetcd his men, and started a drove from Texas about the beginning of last March. They reached camp, eight miles from here, two days ago. The same evening McGee mounted his horse aod rode intotown.leavingtheherdersio camp. He hunted up some stockmen, talked bo vine awhile, aud then stepped into Gus. Potter's restaurant, on Blake street, and ordered a dozen fried. There he met an acquointance, a cow-puncher by occupa tion, just up from the lower country, and McGee, having a drink or two ahead, commenced talking oo the high notes. This attracted the attention of the propri ctor's wife, Mrs. Potter, who thought 6he recognized the voice, and who according ly passed around to where she might see the speaker's face. Sure enough, she knew the face, knew it like a book, though it had not appeared to her before since she was a girl, and starting forward, she aid, "How are you, Mr. Saeger 7" McGee wouldn't have been half as much startled at the crack of a gun. He stood speeuhles for a moment, while his color changed to a deadly white. The other Potters gathered around and looked in speechless amazement. It was a thrilling episode to all parties present. Mi-Gee hadn't heard the Saeger name be fore in six years. Those six years had been like six eeuturies to him. Gus Pot ter recognized in the fictitious McGee the j man who had adopted him as a child when but twelve years old. Gus. had left home and come west to grow up with the mountains, long after Saeger's fliyht. and he knew all the circumstances of the crime. Potter is a nephew of Pheiffen, who was Saeger's right hand bower in the robbery, aod who is now serving out fifteen years' terra in the Pennsylvania Peoitentitary. He stayed with the Pot ters away iuto the night, then mounted his horse and rode out to the camp. Then, again, he was EcGee. lie made no at tempt to escape, but relied on being able to bribe thc Potters into silence, and so appeared at the resturant early the next day. But within an hour after the first separation Potter notified Deputy Sheriff Gook of the unexpected and amazing re cognition. Cook who is the best known and most skillful detective in the Rocky mountain country, had singular to relate, been on the look out for Seager since 18G8, at which time he received a descrip tion of the man from Chief of Police Hague; of Pittsburgh. To day Cook took Saeger into custody while he was slip ping a friendly glass with his adopted son, Potter, who had got him drunk so as to facilitate hi arrest. The distinguished criminal suecumbed to the officer like a little man. For the first time in six years, he said, he was without his pistols and bowie knife, and resistance was useless. But, he coolly observed, that had ha been armed, as usual, somebody, and as not the officer himself, would have bit the dust. His herders, who were desperadoes every oue of them, would fiht for him at the drop of a bar, and fears are rife to night that they may be bold enough to uudertake a rescue, though such an attempt would prove futile, as the jail is strongly sen tineled. Saeger is a man of about forty years of age. He is six feet and over in height, and stands as straght as a lightning rod ; his black, grizzly-looking beard, and a bright, piercing eye, which indicates great determination of character. He says he is the man they have been look ing for, but he'll be something very un pleasant if they recover any of the money lie stole. That, he says, is beyond their reach ; but he claims to have made pro vision for his wife and children, whom he left at Petroleum Centre, aod who have believed him dead. Saeger says he has been twice apprehended ; one time he knocked the detective down, and escaped on horseback ; and oo two other occa sions he paid them for his freedom, the price of liberty in these instances being about $10,000 each time. For four years past a standing reward of 8100,000 has been offered for Saeger's arrest and return to the authorities at Pe troleum Center. Benninghoff has been notified by telegraph, and a requisition will be forward immediately, no doubt. Sheriff Cook stands a good show of strik iog a big stake by this fortuitous circum stance. A detective, Hale, from Phila adolphia, I believe, who is here looking up another case, spent nine months, in lbGO, in an effort to find Saeger. but with out so much as striking a trace. And now he is nabbed right under his nose. The Lehigh & Eastern R. R. The following is from the Philadel phia Inquirer of last Thursday : The first report of the Lehigh and Eastern Railway Company has just been published. When completed, aud it is well under way, this route is to be a con necting liuk between the Lehigh coal basin and the New England States, and a needed joiot in the great chain of rail roads stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It is expected that thc new road will, nay must become a great carrier, aod it is estimated by those having the worthy enterprise in charge that they will be able to transport coat at 1 cents per mile, and at this reduced rate realize a fair margin of profit. Boston and New England generally should take a lively iutcrest io this pro ject, for it must inure greatly to their advantage, for coal can be delivered at Boston and other important centres of coal consumption io the East at a great saving over rates now current. Not only actual cash, but, indirectly, money will be saved over this new route in the economizing of time. Over its rails, in connection with existing routes, two days aod a half can be gained be tween this city and Halifax, and a pro portionate saving of time is readily ap parent all aloog the new route, which, nearer home, intersects the Lehigh Val ley and the Lehigh auJ Susquehanna railroads Dear Stroudsburg, the Lacka wanna and Western R-iilroads ; at Port Jervis or Gray's Court, the New York Erie; next the Midland aud branches ; east of the Hudson river, the Hartford and Erie, the Dutchess and Columbia, which, together with these connecting roads, cross at right angle, first the Westchester, near Housatouic railroad, next Naugatuck Jui.ction railroao, next Canal railroad, New Haven, Hartford and Springfield railrood, then New Lon don aud Willimaotic railroad and Cues hire railroad, together with their respec tive branches leading to various and numerous manufacturing aud flourishing towos aud cities before reaching Boston. At each and all of these points, coal is consumed iu large quantities from oue end of the yeaj to the other. Between 6,000 aod 7,000 Swiss in New York. TWO WOMEN. HoW One Married the Other Singular Wedding. Thirty years a;o there was born to Mr. and Mrs. John Nostrand, then living at Esperance, Schoharie, a fair-faced child Aating on the suggestion of the old family physician, the child was dressed in girl's clothes, although whether this was appro priate or not was a matter of some doubt to the perplexed parents. The little one was named Ada. When Ada was about two years old, her pareuts moved to this country, settling then, or soon alterwards, close by the old Pine Tavern, on the Os wego stage road, and about one mile from Blossvale. As the years passed Ada grew strong and rather tall ; she wore her hair long, but a? she reached maturity an unmistakable beard began to show itself on her face, and her voice became quite masculine. She also manifested a de cided and unusual love for other girls, while she seemed to care but little for the company or admiration of the sterner sex. Five years ago she went to Cleveland, Oh io, aud secured a position as a domes tic at a boarding house, and before she left there her masculine appearance was so noticaVde that she was arrested, charg ed with being a man dressed in women's clothes ; nor was she able to prove this untrue, but fortunately the proprietor of the boarding house was also a physician, and had prescribed for her shortly before that. Hearing of the case, he secured her release. Ada also worked for Simon Isabel!, of Westmoreland, doing much out of door work. Indeed her father, who does not look at all ailing physical ly, says the can chop about as much as he can, and that she is "man enough to handle lots of the boys who are talking so much." About two years ago Ada bought of one of the Messrs. Searies the old William Sykcs farm, close to the Pine tavern. This house had been burned and Ada, who has worked there since, weut to live at the house of Amos June, who lived near. June is uot altogether as placid as the sweet summer time, and he docs not at all limes live harmoniously with his family. Some time since his son died and soon June married his son's widow. The younger June left a daugh ter Lottie, who is well spoken of by those who know her. By this wedding Lottie found herself the step daughter of her grandfather, the grand daughter of her mother, and generally unable to establish the exact decree of consanguinity of her relatives with any degree of satisfaction. Other reasons combined to make her life at home not altogether pleasant. When Ada went to Ijve at the June house she soon formed quite an attachment for Lot tie, then about fifteen years of age, and as the attachment ripened, she became more and more impatient at the disguise of her dress. Iodcen she had frequent ly upbraided her parents for dressiug her in girl's clothes, insisting that she had no business to wear them. The love be tween Ada and Lottie reached its cul ruination on Thuisday, April 2. On the evening of that day a well-dressed youug man, who gave his name as Edward Nost rand, with a blushing and pretty maiden, who was Lottie June, called, at the resi dence of Rev. J. W. Simpson, of Taberg, where they were made one flesh. This step had been decided on at least a year before, we are told. Edwin Nostrend, who is now raising quite a beard, is 30 years of age. The charming Mrs. Nost rand is 17. They live at what is known as Weaucr's, about two miles from Blosa vale, and seem to be happy. Thss is all wo know about it. Rome N. Y.) Senti nel. About Spring Styles. The day of the rediogote is over, and the polonaise takes places That this is a favored style one has only to look iu the largest and most stylish importing houses to be assured. Never were there lovelier patterns, and so elaborately em broidered. Camel's hair cloth, vigogne, cashmere, drap d'ete, and fur summer wear the batiste and Mexicainc. While some are embroidered in darker shades of silk than thc material, others are done in colors most exquisitely shaded ; as, for instance, a gray garment is embroidered with a wreath of blue Canterbury bells, the flowers shaded exactly to nature. The effect is exceedingly lovely. Wo meu of sense, rejoice ! the demi train ii banished from the street, and the dicss in walking swings clear of the ground Even if the dress is cut long, it is pro vided with buttous and loops, or drawing strings across the back breadths, so that it can be lifted on leaving the house. It is considered the height of bad taste and vulgarity to allow the skirts to sweep thc ground. Fashion again has come to thc rescue of cleanliness and commou sense, and rightfully and judiciously banished long draperies from the street, ouly to produce them fresher aud more graceful in the drawing aoom. Shirrs aud puffs in trimming have taken the place of rut fles and pleatcs. Some of the gowns are trimmed with loose lengthwise puffs, with two Or three shirrs between, from waist band to tip of the train. Vests are thir red and puffed, sometimes entire bodies and sleeves. This is a nice fashion for the tall, slim beauties, but their shorter sisters must perforce cling to draperies, albeit they are not of the first mode Thin materials will be especially pretty made io this faishion ; white greoadiue and toe cool grays in particular. Boston t When Men are at Their Best Dr. Beard states that from an analysis of the lives of a thousand representative men in all the great branches of human efforts, he made the discovery that the golden decade was between 30 and 40, silver between 40 and 50, and brazen be tween 20 and 30, and thu iron between 50 and GO. -The superiority of youth aud middle life over old age in orignul woik, appears all the greater when we consider the fact that all positious of honor aod prophet and prestige pro fesserships and public stations arc in thc hands of the old. Reputation, like money and position, is mainly confided to the old. Men are not widely known until long after they had done the work I hut gives them their fame. Portraits of great meu are a delusion ; statuos arc lies. They are taken when men have become famous, which oo thc average is at least twenty five years after they did the work gave them their fame. Original work re quires enthusiasm. If all their original work done by men uuder forty five were annihilated, they would be reduced to barbarism. Men arc at their best at that time when enthusiasm and experience are most evenly balanced ; this period on the average is from thirty eight to forty. After this the law is that experience increases, enthusiasm declines. In the life of almost every old man there comes a point soner or later, when experince ceases to have any educating power. Butter that Should be Avoided. For some time past an article has been sold in this market as butter which is nothing but a compound of animal fat, suet, milk and oil. It is alleged that many reputable dealers in butter have been induced to purchase this vile article, and to sell it to their customers as pure butter. Large quantities of the article have been sold to the mill operatives in Patterson and to the miuers in Penn sylvania, aud it has been shipped to the West Indies, thus destroying the cha racter of the New York market. The speculators io this compound have already established manufactories in this city, in Brooklyn, New Jersey, Hoboken, Newark aud Boston, aod employ persons to collect grease atid fat from butchers shops and private dwellings. The matter has. been brought under the notice of the Butter aod Cheese Exchange, aod the members have piedged themselves not to purchase the article, aud to do all in their power to rid the market of it. A sub committee has been appointed to examine iuto the matter fully, and to report the best means to be adopted to prevent the introduction of "oleomargariue," as thc.uew butter is called, into the market. The new article can be manufactured for about forteen cents per pound, aod it is disposed of at thirty cents, realizing a handsome profit for the manufacturers N. Y. Times. A Lesson for aU. Look most to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goe out you will always be poor. The art is not in mak ing money, but in keeping it; little expenses, like mice in a large barn, when they arc many, make great waste Hair by hair heads get bald ; straw by straw the thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by drop the rian comes into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty if the tap leaks but a drop a minute ; when you mean to save begin with your mouth ; many things pass down the red line. The ale jug is a great waste. In all other things keep within compass. Never stretch your legs further thau the blanket will stretch, or you will soou be cold. In clothes, choose suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the main thing, never mind the looks. A ford may make money, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Remember it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one goiog. If you give all to back and board, there is nothing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and work hard while you are young, and you will have a chance to rest when you are old. There is a good story told of John Ran dolph. During his first months of service in Congress he invited a friend to a restaurant, ordered liquor aud told the proprietor to charge it to the public ac count. The adtuimstrrtor of fluids re marked to the Virginia statesman thatsuch dispensation did not come under the head of any charge to government that he was allowed to make. "Why," asked Mr. Randolph, "what do thc New England members get t" "Oh !" answered the proprietor, "that's molasses aud water you see them drinking aud it goes down oo the stationery aceount " "Well," Randolph tiiumphantly rejoined, "give us two glasses of brandy and water and charge it as fuel " The record has it that the Roanoke chevalier did not leave the place thirsty. . . Iu the office of the Deputy Secretary of the Commou wealth are a n umber ot documents, etc., whose age is not far from two hundred years. The first law passed in the province of Pennsylvania, as re corded ou parchment iu 1G82, thc date of its enactment, is amoug the furiosi ties. Two of the Hessian fiaus capture ! by thc Coutlnental troops at Trenton, and a powder horn used iu the Revolutionary war, are also preserved as relics of that memorable period when America threw jfl the yoke of British tyranny. All housekeepers have some time real ized the difficulty of lighting a fire in a still, damp morning, when the chimney will notdraw, and vigorous blowing proves ineffectual. Science explains the trouble as "caused by the diflculty encountered in overcoming the inertia of the long column of air io the pipe or chimney by the small column of a.ir that can be forced op through the interstices of wood and coal, nt the bottom of which the fire is kindled." This may be remedied by fir.st lighting a few bits of shavings or paper placed upon thc top; thus, by the heated air forcing it self iuto the chimney and establishing thee an upward current, the room is kept free from the gas or smoke which is so apt to fill the room, and the fire can then be lighted from below with good success. The Raleigh News thus sums up the pros and cons of old Baldy's work, and declares in his favor : "It has caused fifty five conversions to religion, broken op twenty seven illicit whisky distilleries, drove from the coun try two subievenue officials, rid the moun tains of a sorry preacher, and furnished ua several columns of reading matter. Ou the other hand the damage is slight, for had it broken up all the crockery iu the mountains, the cost would not have been S10, while Mrs. Nannie's chinney would have tumbled with the first strong wind." A Boston merchant having advertised for a porter, was called on the next day by a stalwart Yankee, who said : I say, boss, be you the man' what ad vertised for a porter?' 'Yes,' sternly replied the merchaut, 'and I expressly stated that all applications must be made by mail.' Just so. boss.' responded the Yankee, and of a ain't a male. I would be ohleeged to you to tell me what I am !' He got the situation. Ben Zine asked O'Shea, "how is it that the most reliable accouut of the Deluae makes no mention of Irishmen having been taken into the ark "Divil the one was there," said O'Shea. "How. then was the race perpetuated?" queried Ben. "Faith," said O'Shea, "in those days the Irish were wealthy, and had a boat of their own." A man named Tucker was married last week in Woodford county. 111., and the "boys" presuming on his good nature, gathered to give him a grand charivari. They were progressing fioely when they discovered the bridegroom in their party pounding and old tin pan as hard as any of them. The subsequent proceedings interested them no more. A young girl, who had an offer of mar riage which she wished to accept, sub mitted the matter to her father, who ad vised her against matrimony, using as an argument the quotation from St. Paul. They who marry do well, but they who do not do better. Well said the damsel, I love ty do well; let those do better, who can. One may live a conqueror, or a king, or a magistrate, but he must die a man. The bed of death brings every human be ing to his pure individuality, to the in tense contemplation of that deepest and most solemn of all relations. The relation between the creature and his Creator. Webster. It is a settled principle, your honor, said an eminent lawyer, that causes al ways do for the lawyers, blandly respond ed the judge, but I've sometimes known a single cause to deprive a client of all his effects. As two children were playing together, little Jane got angry uDd pouted. Johnny said to her, "Look out, Jane, or I'll take a seat up there ou your lips."
