Capture of Burglar.
At an early hour this morning Samuel Perris
alias Worcester Sam, the leader of band of
Eastern bank robbers and forgers, was captured,
after several months chase, in house In Hobo
ken, by Detectives Squires and Wood, of the
United States detective service, assisted by local
officers. Perris is under indictments for bank
robberies in Maine, New Hampshire, and Ver-
mont, and also for counterfeiting. The detec-
tives followed him to England, from whence he
fled, after escaping by jumping from train of
cars at full speed.
The detectives got on his track again yester-
day, and he was hunted down to house in
Hoboken, where his wife has been living for a
month. Perris was known to be desperate, as
he had declared that he would not be taken
alive. The police surrounded the house all
night, and surprised him in bed at daybreak. He
was very violent on the way to the New Haven
train.

OBITUARY.
Death of William Hamilton, the Actuary
of the Franklin Institute.


of the Franklin Institute.
William Hamilton, the Actuary of the Frank
lin Institute, and who has during his entire
life been intimately identified with the cause of
science in Philadel phia, died this morning, at
4 o'clock, in his boarding house, No. 923 Ches-
nut street.
Mr. Hamilton was born in this city in Febru-
ary, 1891, and was consequently at the time of
his death in the eighty-flrst year of his age
For over forty years he has been con
nected with the Franklin Institute. He
became a member of that institution in its in-
fancy, and in fact was one of the prime movers
in its organization. Since that time his labors
were unceasing. He attended to all the large
correspondence of the Institute; made visits to
other cities of the Union on scientific matters,
and was instrumental in getting up exhibitions,
etc. Having given his whole attention to this
work, he was, consequently, thoroughly fami-
liar with all the details of the Institute, and the
society loses valuable helper in his death.
The cause of death is attributed to debility
arising from old age. Mr. Hamilton performed
his duties up to within ten days ago, when he
was obliged to take TO his bed. He was ailing,
however for the past six months.
