Articles' found in the office this morning and the manner in which they worked to gain admission to the- safe clearly proves that the robbers were either men way up in the nefarious business of burglary, Or else all the evidence left in the office the work of someone wh6 knew how to get into the safe easily, but adopted a novel plan to cover up his work and give the indications that the job hjad-been done by experts. It is possible that some one. 1 of the gang hanging about the coal docks had obtained the combination' to Mr. Welsh's safe, and acted accordingly. Just when the robbery was committed is not known.

Whether' the burglars actually worked as the papers would indicate, is'a question. Some men think too much time would have been required and that it would have been impossibly to get the combination in this manner. The burglars were unusually bold.

They could have been plainly seen from the street while at work. They only raised the shade at the window looking on the street about one foot and persom living in the house opposite could easily see the men at work.

There was plenty of fun on tho streets last night watching men who were wheeling other men about the streets in wheel barrows and were thus paying the forfeits of freak bets made on the recent elections. Charles Becker and William Lawrence, of the Fourth ward, bet on the result of the Presidential election, Becker supporting Bryan and Lawrence supporting McKinloy. The result of the election compelled Becker to fulfil the terms of the bet, which were to wheel Lawrence wherever he desired.

He was seated in a wheel barrow and taken through the down.town and then to Philip Smith's road house in Highland Park. There Becker left Lawrence, John Puerschner was likewise called upon to wheel Charles Snedeker and Charles Premo about the streets, having lost a bet made with them. A brother of Puereohner accompanied the trio, blowing a horn. Another bet, betweeii Robert GourW and Frel Reupp, whioti was lost by Cpe former, provided that he should wheel the winner from the house of Phoanix Engine No. 3 to Mill-, town and back again, accompanied bv the company's Cahthumpian band.

Both however, decided not to fulfill the terms of the bet.
