HEAVY RoBBERY.-0n Sunday morning
last Officers Cullen and Carlaher, Of the Tenth
precinct, arrested two boys, thirteen and fourteen
years Of age, who gave their names as Robert
farquhar and James Butt, and said they were
from Philadelphia, had come to this city for the
purpose Of seeking employment, and had re-
ceived money from their parents to pay their ex-
penses. Justice Handy thought they were sus
picious characters, and sent them to the work.
house until something could be ascertained about
them.
Subsequently, Mrs. French, Who resides near
Twenty -ffth and q streets, heard Of farquhar' .
arrest, and informed the officers that he had been
boarding with her, and that he had robbed hei
Of o. 800, but that she had hitherto failed to lind
him. The boy was taken from the workhouse
back to the Tenth Precinct station, and fully
identified by Mrs. French.
Farquhar had been to a leweler to purchase q
watch, and had offered $500 bond In payment.
TIL q aroused the suspicion Of the jewelcr, who
took the boy and started for the station house
but he escaped on the way. This bond was re-
covered also, one which accused had given to q
boy in the First ward. lie had bought guns
pistols, watches, Sc, which he had secreted Ia
Alexandria.
About two weeks ago the boy was charged
with the larceny OF so, and he ran away from
Mrs. French Is, but returned the same night, en-
tered the house through the window, took key
from Mrs. French's pocket, and stole the -, 800
from trunk.
Farquhar was locked up In one Of the cells o.
the Tenth Precinct station. Yesterday morning
1t was discovered that he had made his escape
having crawled through hole In the floor Of his
cell.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE CAPITOL
Shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon,
while the workmen were engaged in hoisting
stone on the west front Of the south wing Of the
Capitol, the derrick was seen to sway. The men
kept on at. their work, but In n short time It
swayed again; one Of the beams broke and sew
eral Of the guys. The east end OF the derrick
fell, completely demoltshing the scaffolding,
causing heavy timbers to fall as far out a. South
Capitol street. One OF tho workmen, James
Dorsey by pane, ran toward the middle OF the
street, but one Of the falling tmbers caught him,
and q snatch block struck him on the head com
pletely smashing his skull, scattering his brains
about and causing the blood to squirt forth In a
perfect stream. Had the unfortunate man made
another step he would have escaped. The body
was conveyed to a shed near by until the friends
removed 1t. Deceased was widower, and leaves
no children. Another workman leaped from the
seafold and was severely, though not seriously,
injured.
