RoBBERY or ST. MARYs CHURCH On Satur-
day afternoon last st. Mary's Church German
Catholic. on East Maryland street being opened
for the sacrament OF - funeral, we believe. was
despol,d OF some Of its sacred vessels and uten
sIls by some sacregious person. who is supposed
mony had closed. The cups OF two chalices
were unscrewed from the plates. and the patens
or plates which cover them were taken The
chalices we're of solid silver. washed with gold.
and the patens were also solid silver. but the
stands we're metal. The thief was evidently ac-
qusnted with the value OF the articles stolen. or
else he would have taken the stands as well as
the cups. A servant girl, employed at the par
sonage adjoining. saw man leaving, after the
funeral cortege had gone. with bundle under
his arm. who asked her it There Was any other
Catholic Church in this town." The suppsltion
is that he was the scoundre. and if possible. the
police will get on his track.
