A Minister's Misfortunes

New York, 1895

The Rev. H. C. Glover returned to his home in Cutchogue Wednesday evening with empty pockets. He was on his way home through Long Island City with $50 in cash and $94 in checks in his pocket. During his journey some light fingered rogue relieved the minister of his pocketbook. To make matters worse the thief also got away with the Rev. Glover's return ticket, and the loss was not discovered until he had reached the depot.
