LARoENY OF HOTEL PRoPRRTY.-For some
time past table and bed linen has been disap.
pearing from Wizards Hotel, and notwlth-
standing the efforts to discover how the prop
erty was taken off, it was not until the past
day or two that clue was obtained. MIR.
Sykes, one OF the proprietors, received a tele-
gram that some OF the missing articles were ia
Baltimore, and he at once went over and con-
ferred with detective John w. Smith, who
arrested girl named Frederick Daffney and
recovered a portion of the goods. The fact of
the arrest and recovery OF some of the goods
was telegraphed to the hotel and the case was
placed in the hands Of detectives Ciarvoe and
McDevitt, who last night arrested Lottie Ungell,
and also recovered some OF the goods. This
morning both parties were before Justice Bos-
well, who held them to bail for court. The
property recovered is valued at over $40, and
Mr.. Smith, with our officers, deserve credit for
