Isaac Carman, the Jailer. They proved to be
Italians, as supposed. They were brought to
| jail here this evening, and about $1,325 In i aab
] was found in their pockets. Each had about
| half the amount, showing that the spoils had
! been divided equally among the gang of four.
! The burlap bags which were used for masks
were also tali n from them at the .sheriff's oftic?.
On arriving there Orson C. Longyear, the pay
master, one of the victims of the hold-up, was
sent for. He Identified the robbers promptly
and said to one: "Why, you are No. '•'<<>. to

TODD MAKES STATEMENT.
(rives Facts in Regard to Sullivan
A fair.
New-Haven. Conn ..! • • L— Percy It. Todd, first
vjn--prefildcnt of tho New-Tork, New-Haven and
Hartford Railroad, to-night gave out the following
statement :
Bo many statements bave been made in the publio
prc-s ns to an attempt to wreck the special train
whi-h .•arr--l the Connecticut and Rh""!« Island
delegations to the Republican National Convention
at Chicago and bo many reference* bave been
made la the presa to the official <i«-ni«ln <•■: the
taruf that the following statement offset la made:
President Mellen i •■ - boi .-it any Ome received a
letter dema.n.;ii.ir s : ; "••», or any otber huh:, to pre
vent f. train wreck, since the letter oi last fall
fr..:n \«w-York containing ~ threat to dynamite a
treir, Went l&elien received no letter from
Sullivan or :-.:;y one else on the subject of train
wrecking prior to his leaving for Chicago last Sa'
uniav.
Shortly after Mr. Mellen'a <sep»rfir«> a letter Sd
rt r( ,c.,^ him was brought to me. This letter w;m
written from WTilkesbarre. Perm. It contained ab
solutely no threats against Mr. Mellen; It contained
no r»ferrn-« to or threats against the special train
to the Chicago conveatloa. It contained no refer
enee whatever to any future attempts at train
wrecking, but referred entirety to several attempts
Xt train wrecking which havo been made since
March 1. and offered to give information regarding
these pant irsnanrtinns
This letter Mr Mfllen did not *■«"". and has r.o
knowledge yet, and, as stated before. It contained
do threats as to future criminal attempts, but was
Firnply an offer to give Information as to things
• hut had occurred In the past. The story in re
card to a y ai-emjit belns ma ie a*sit!St the safety
of the special train carrying thi delegates to
Chicago,- was purely Imaginary.
All statements purporting to bave bf<»n made by
me and appearing hi the pr«^, are utterly without
foundation beyond 'he statement ir.ad> by me on
Monday last that Mr. Mellen had not received any
such letter, and the further statement that in no
wav had the special train to Chicago been threat

NEW CABINET OFFICERS.
PAUL MORTON FOR XAI'V
Moody Succeeds Kno.r, and Met calf
Takes Cortehjou'.'i Place.
fFROM THE TRIBVN'E BURBAf.I
Washington, Jane 'M — President Roosevelt an
nounced the following Cabinet appolntmfn's to
day:
«'||.l,JA\| II MOODY, of MMHUU-huartt*. Attorney

PAt i. MORTON, of llTinoi*. Si««Tet«r» «f t»n» X»tT.
VUTOU H. MKT< *I.F. of California. Secretary of
(tmmrTrf and I^ilior.
The resignations of Attorney General Knnx
and Secretary Cortelyou have be»»n accepted, to
take effect on July 1, si him their successors' will
assume the duties of then* offices.
The newly appointed Cabinet officers are re
garded as exceptiorally able men. srreassj tn «•
poutive abutty and thoroughly well equipped to.
011 the places far which they have be<»n selected.
As a member of the Cabinet, Secretary Moody
has already demonstrated his usefulness, and his
transfer and retention are generally approved.
The appointment of I'i'.ul Morton and Victor H.
Metealf to be members of th<» Cabinet received
hearty commendation to-day from all the men
constituting the Chief Magistrate's present coun
cil.
•'I do not believe the President could have
found a better man," said Secretary Moody.
when be learned of the formal acceptance of his
miitfasfti
■1 an mighty plai Morton has asrreed to take
1 It." said Attorney General Knox "He is a splen
did selection for the place. And I am quite as
pleased that the Department of Commerce and
Labor Is to fall into such competent hands."
The congratulations the Cabinet members of
fered the President were almost as warm on hts
wise selection of new advisers as they were on
the report of his magnificent victory at Chicago.
In spite of all stories to th* contrary, there
has never been any indecision on the part of.
the President in considering the two appolnt
me-nts. He never had any Idea of offering the
navy portfolio to Mr. Met calf or the Department
of Commerce and Labor to Mr. Morton. Neither,
It may be said with equal authority, did he re
ceive anything resembll.ip a declination from
the man who Is to become the head of the Navy
Department. He learnod from Mr. Metcalf more
than a week ago that he would accept the place
to b« vacated by Mr. Cortelyou. but did not
care to announce It officially until he could
s;ive th*» news of Mr. Morton's acceptance to
th« public at the same tlm*. The President also
decided to defer the announcement of Mr. Cor
telyou'B successor until the national committee
hud ratified his wtshea by making him the Ken
eral of the campaign force*.
Th.it Mr. Morton will lose nothing by enter
ing President Roosevelt's Cabinet, In spite of
the fact that he will relinquish for the time be
ing a post that is probably more remunerative,
few will doubt It in understood that the* man
agement of the Santa FA Railroad system will
keep the place of second rice-president open for
him until the end of his term in th* Cabinet.
Even should the road undergo a change In man

that the new directors, whoever they may be.

My Dear Mr. Kuox: I accept your resignation,

approach in value that already paid you by the
hearty admiration and respect of your fellow
citizens. let for my own satisfaction I wish
to Lear testimony to the invaluable work that
you nave done. During your whole tlrn« of ser
vice yon have had no real holiday. You have
never really rested from your exhausting labor.

and Interest of the people at large. Many great
and able men have preceded you in the office
