The above letter was received several j
diysag.., and has reeeUed some attention i
.iuce, the result of which i here set forth, j
The detective referred to in the letter is E.
W. May, a young mm, who his desk room j
at 418 Walnut str-et, in an insurance otfiee, j
and who has a whole string ol references j
f rom various persons and business cort-.ra- i
tions, among the former l"nrtel States As
sistant Treasurer Eysler and F. L. .Mathez,
private s.-cr-'tary to Jay (li'ul l, ilemonstra
ble of his dtnetts for his occupition. May
says he went around with Van IKke the
wh'ile of the afternoon ol the t-th, alter the
rol.Ury had occurred, but that the Utter j
was confused and could not locate the place.
It was uot until the next morning lllat he
found the house. It was an empty build
ing at 112 Locust street, next door to the
J.iaker City Laundry, ami with a -To Let"
on its front. Obtaining the kevs from Ihe !
laindrv the detective and Van Dvke weut
in. but found nothing. IK-sks, Ubles au.l
railroad guides lud .11 been removed. The j
h.mse belongs to Mr. C.reble, the -marble j
man at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets,
but the kvs,for the convenience of persons ;
desirinr to rent It. have for some time beeo ;
left in cbarce of the laundry. In tlie fore
noon of the day ol th J robbery a man called
and got them, saying he deired to loos at
the house with a view of renting it. They
were not returned until late iu the after
ii. Kin, the robbery meantime Lav jits' taken
place and th- parties having escaped with j
the lilotiev.
This much was discovered before Van
Dyke lelt the city. On tlie day alter the
robbery be stated for home, ami tlie de
tective seems to have gotten no further.
Since the above letter was received, how
ever, it has been found that three men, who
are undoubtedly the parties in question, had
in 'lie I"reoo6 of the tth visited a second
hand office furniture store ou the corner of
Filth and Locust streets, ouly half a square
from where the robbery occurred, and tried
to buy a desk on "tick.
"They taXed as though they were mil
lionaires," said the proprietor, "but when it
came to buying an $8 desk lbre didn't
seem to be money enough in the party to
pay for it and they asked for credit. I be
gan to think they were deep, and told
them we didn't do business that way. My
artner, after bearing theui talk a little,
came up and told rue not to have anything
to do w ith them, ss he believed they were
up to some tricK or other. They told me
they were going into business and that they
might need more desks shortly, but I had
begun to see that there was something

The description on the detective's book
tr the three swindlers, furnished by Van
Dyke himself, is this : The tea man, alias
Pomeroy, is a young man with a smooth
lace, wears a gray sack coat and overcoat,
light soil hat ; bad an umbrella aud canva-s-covered
sample box.
The "clerk" in the rretended ticket ofliee
Is about 28 year, old, rather slim and stoops
a little, has red hair and red full whiskers,
nnd dark sack coal, ami i a Germau.
The old man who pretended te waut a
ticket lor Keutucky is about 60 years of
ge, has a gray mousUche and whiskers
and a broad-brimmed white bat, woll worn,
and wears a suit of gray. Ou this occasion
he was gotten up as a dro er, talked like a
Kentticktan and carried a drorer's stick in
liis hand-
The proprietor of the furniture store at
Fifth and Locust streets, without seeing or
knowing anything of this previous descrip
tion, was asked to describe the parties who
had called on him. This he did, and his
description tallied exactly with the above
VlLLXiaY BOLD AJtO a.raiiT.
Oue link after another was followed, each
step seeming to get nearer the parties. This
following up led to the discovery of aa ex
tensive phase of villainy that nourishes in
this tity among thieves and swindlers--nearly
every one oT them ex-convicts utt -def
the guise of the tea-business." It !s
an ascertained fact that there exists in this
nlace. which bare been titled
with goods aud signs to represent tea
up
stores solely Tor the purpose or swindling
tid robbing. The men who have run these
place, are the ring-leader, of one of the
boldest set of confidence swindlers that
ever pestered a city. They have a corp. of
ono.er.imr. or tools who operate under the
f "te Pler;" that in, each one

third man, Jamison, with hia tea box under
his arm, accosted him on Arch street on
Tuesday afternoon, he thought the business
was becoming old and bail him arrested.
He a as taken before Magistrate Smith and
at the hearing Mr. Scott related bow this
thii'f had approached him. His manner was
exactly the same as that of the man related
" ,,J,ter ol Mr- ! ke, and every
thing seemed to combine to identify the
two characters as belonging to one and the
sauie person, ilagistrate Smith committed
the fellow to JIoj amcnsiiig iu default of

of April were one person. With every
prospect of establishing this to satisfaction

another, started down to Xoyamensing lor

furniture man S..M be would be able to pick
't the three iiK-n who had been iu
' l on the th of April anywhere if
he once got his eyes on them. This was re
assuring, but the chance did Dot occur.

No maa should drink to excess. The

jeers at people ; if he is noisy, offensive in

He broke one of tbe eggs. It was hard
boiled. Another tbe same. So on till he

tion or being a good town, but "it had
more than its share of prolauity that day.
A negligent and impudent servant ran
never become a good master. Tlie policy
or the Roman government toward the peo
ple they conquered was to take the most
cultivated and ablest of the conquered peo
ple for servants. They had two reasons lor
doing so : The first was, that by removing
the people of ability, means, and manners,
they removed tbe danger of revolt or over
throw of Romaa authority ; the second was,
that people of ability and manners made the
best servants. When they served they did
it with an understanding of the relations
that exist between master and servant. It
was the boast of many a Roman that he hail iu '
hi. kitchen and on hi. farm, as servants, I
men and women who were or the noble
families or the people that Roman armies
conquered.
