BE SURE THY SIN- WILL FIND THEE
,Otrr.—Considerable excitement was oc-
casioned in town Friday and Monday of
last week, through the arrest of some of
our citizens, who have hitherto borne
irreproachable characters'on suspicion,
.of being implicated in the burglary of
Inglis & Co's woolen mill on the night of
September I6th. Ever since that, time
the Messrs. Inglis have been on the look-
out for the burglars, and their efforts
have finally been crowned- with success,
onlyat is to be regretted that some who
were entirely innocent were subjected to
very unpleasant experiences. It appears
that John Inglis learned that Robert,
Lockeridge,an employee of Scott &
factory, had sent a closed box to a cer-
tain house in- Blyth. This house was
• occupie▪ d by a Miss Greening, a former
employee of Inglis & Co., and a friend
of Lac) kridge, and the latter bei g accus-
ed of,and acknowledging to, th stealing
- of gloves from Chapman's tann ry about
this time, suspicion naturall rested
upon him. While in Blyth looking up
the matter, Mr. Inglis found that Miss
Ida Dixon, of Wingham, daughter of
Wm. Dipmhad been disposing of shirts
underskirts, &c., -manufactured from
the stolen goods. A search warrant was
obtained for Dixon's houee,and while the
search was bring made Ida and her
mother confessed to the theft, at the
:same time implicating Thos.,Elliott, jr.,
and others with themselves. Elliott
was arrested and taken before George
McKibbon, J. P., and gave bail in the
811111 of $1,500 for his appearance on
Wednesday. In the meantime Mrs.
Dixon and Ida made another confession
declaring emphatically that they only
• were guilty, and that the parties they
had previously implicated were perfect-
ly innocent. The stolen goods, about
-390 yards of checked &fond, were still
unaccounted for, when Chief Pettypiece
made another search and found the
greater part -of them hidden under logs,
etc., at Dixon's home. Mrs. Dixon was
arraigned before Mayor Neelands, Ida
being allowed to go free on account of
turning Queen's evidence. In her evi-
dence Ida told a straight story of the
whole transaction, and swore that her
mother and herself committed the bur-
glary, but that she was forced into it by
her mother. The old lady was commit-
ted for trial, but before leaving for God-
erich Mr. Inglis laid information against
her for stealing yarn from the mill dur-
ing the summer of 1884. To this charge
she pleaded not guilty, but on the evi-
dence of Mr. Inglis, Constable Davis, of
Blyth, and Mrs. D. Ross, she was com-
mitted on this charge ale?. Mrs. Dixon's
statements all through were hesitating,
eontrttory and reckless --sometimes
bewailhg her wickedness, sometimes de-
claring her innocel4ce. She was taken
to Goderieh the (Aar day. The con-
fession of Ida, in which she exonerated
young Elliott„was emphatic and bore
every resemblance to truth. Her mother
and yomiger sister corroborated it after-
wards, and apparently without knowing
of Idit's 'confession. When Elliott was
brought up on Wednesday he was honor-
ably discharged, there being not a tittle
of evidence against him, aod the war-
rants against the others implicated in •
the women's first statement were stayed.
The Dixon's have heretofore borne ex-
cellent characters, and great surprise is
manifested on all sides that they should
have been guilty of such a diabolical
crime. Ida is a girl of about 17 years of
age, and ' was formerly employed in
Inglis' mill. Mrs. Dixen is quite an
aged woman and has several grancl-chil- •
dren: Loekeridge, who was implicated
in the first confession, was told by a
friend that if he had any connection
with the affair be had. better make him-
self -scarce. Ile at once took the advice
.and fled the eountry.--Times.

• Vanderbilt's Wealth.
. A correspondent referring to the great
wealth Of the late Wm. H. Vanderbilt
says: A year ago it was known that
he had $54,000,000 in Government 4
per cent. bonds, but this was afterward
reduced to $35,000,0140, partly to aid his
"sons, who had .lost $10,000,000 in Wall
stieet. He afterward purchased $10,-
000,000 more of the -4 per cents, and he
had besides $4,000,000 in Government
•31 per cents. It is said that his Gover-
ment bonds tare worth $70,000,000. He
owned in addition $22,000,000 worth of
railway bonds, $3,200,000 of State and
City bonds, and had $2,000,000 in manu-
facturing stocks and mortgages. He
• stated to a friend that his ordinary ex-
penses in a year were $200,000. A Wall
street man, --referring to his wealth,
said: "From 4s:Goveynnient bonds he
draws $2,372,000 a year; from railway
stocks and bonds, $7,394,00 ; from mis-
cellaneous securities, $576,695; total, in
round numbers, $10,350;000 a year. •
His earnings are thus over $28,000 a
day, $1,200 an hour, and $19.75 a min-
ute." This was a year ago, when his
wealth was estimated at $200,000,000.
Some of his sechrities have decreased in
valne since then, but at the time of his
death his fortune was enormous.
