stopped-Mr. Crawford on "Frec
Lagca'' and What IL Means.
The thousands OF Teutons who every Sunday
conscientiousy perform their duties at the shrine
Of Gambrinus, arc doubt interested in the issue
OF the "Civil Fine" bill OF Mr.. Crawlord-member
from Monroe-now pending in the Legislature.
Last night that gentleman spoke on 'Free Lager
on Sunday" in the Eghty-sixth street Methodist
Episcopal church. which was fllei by an attentive
audience. The title OF the lecture is very decep-
tive. 1t does not mean the distribution OF that
delectable beverage free, gratis, for nothing
out the Tree and unrestricted sale OF the same.
Mr.. Crawford entertained his auditors for three
quarters o! an hour about his doings In the Legs-
,ature IN favor OF temperance, which at length
DeihR nnished, he launched, nguratively speaking,
OUT on the sea OF "free lager.n He said that free
lager on sunday means free whiskey, and free
wMsKey means wholesale drunkenness and MUIR
uer,D ana TO support his assertion he quoted
tnousand instances and as many authorities which
sup - ~ beyond doubt the premise which
ne laa d0wn. MT Crawford's description Of the
t Wes o. Tue wn,skey men and influence OF egisa
no was very good and was duly appreciated by
ms auditors. TO the genteman's mind there is but
one way OF stopping riot and drunkenness on
sunday, ana ihat IS TO shut up the beer saloons.
HIS bill In the Legislature Will come IN for nnal
hearing on wednesday next, at which time han
piness or misery will be dealt ont To TentaHn
tipp!ers and beer bibbers in general.

BURGLARIES.

Thieves Hard at Work While the Police
are Idle.
The premises 594 Broadway the first moor OF
which is occupied by w. II. Carpenter and Richard
Salembier were entered by thieves on Monday
night last and robbed Of goods valued at $4,000.
The appearance OF the doors on the morning after
the robbery would seem to indicate that the thieves
got into an empty building in Crosby street, next
door to the one Quilted. and from there proceeded
with their work. AS soon as they were in this
house, which is 126 Crosby street. they fastened the
door and then got on the root through q sky
light Placing a short piece OF plank against
the wall Of 1874 Broadway they gained the roof and
1t became an easy matter TO force open the trap
door with jimmy and drop down into the store by
means Of rope. They passed on
FROM FLOOR To FLOOR
until they reached the first, and then, selecting the
valuable laces belonging TO Mr.. Salembier and the
silks Of MI Carpenter, they filed their sacks and
estimates his loss at $4,000, and Mr. Carpenter has
discovered he has suffered to the extent OF 1000.
Salembier, as he is only recently started In bust
ness, and such calamity happening in the midst
OF an unusually dun season Is much more distress
ing than 1t would be otherwise. The interior ar.
rangemen!s OF the house are singularly weak and
detective as regards safety, and this undoubtedly,
the thieves knew.
THE DOORS AND PARTITIONS
are slight and their iastenings are OF the slightest
save the police from censure. The Central Office
is not far from the house robbed, and the Four.
teenth precinct station house Is nearer still. How
the thieves got In and how they came out will, OF
course, be the points OF discussion among the
force; but that they did 60 In and did
get out with q quantity OF merchandise
packed in bags and boxes Is certain and the police
are to blame for tne matter, There are patyQmen,
r2pndsmen, selgeasts, captains and detectives all
OF whom are supposed to be watching the property
OF citizens and there are yet thieves who are far
more watchul than these
We'll PAID, s6aSoLENr OFFICIALS.
Thieves not only do their work openly and dar-
ingly In the neighborhood where this affair
occurred, but they congregate and live there.
ANOTHER ROBBERY
took place in the sixteenth precinct on Monday
night. Messrs. Hevlin h Micnaels, OF ~ Bowery,
were deprived OF property valued at $500 by prob
ably the same dcsperadOes. OF course the usual
pretensl0ns OF arduous lab0rs are being made by
the police, but what they amount to the people

A Man Of Frugal Mind.

ES-Hon. John B. Alley, OF credit mobilier
renOwn. IL said TO be very wealthy; and no won
DER. Having to testify before two of the con-
gressonal iny estigsting committees In one day
last week, he frugslly drew mileage and per d,em
compensation from each. That's the vay TO
pile up competency against a rainy day.
IL Is related Of ALLEY that when he left Con-
greSs the ID. H." ticket he held on the avenue
street cars expired with his congressional term,
and In order TO utilize IL to the utmost, he
rushed from the Capitol two minutes before the
close OF the session, and. hsiling a car, reached
II in breathless condition. holding his watch in
one hand and his ticket in the other to show the
conductor that the latter was vet good" An
acquaintance IN the ear hailed him with the
inquiry, Halo, Alley, what's YOUR hurry >
Anything up?' Alley replied, still glancing
neryously at his watch, - must get down town
Ny ticket expires at l. O'Clock, and must get
down town before that time."- The fare saved
by MI Alley was i've cents, but he lost some
thing in perspiratOn.
IL Is also told OF this gentleman of frugal
mind, that some years ago be had a protracted
contest with another man for the mayoralty of
Lynn; several elections having been held with
out choice. His enterprising rival enter
tanned the voters with free lunch, and finally
in the heat of tie contest the economical
seruples of John b. 80 far gave way that he de-
teTmined to do the big thing, and bought bag
ct peanuts, to be baked on each voting day, to
regale the crowd. But he instructed his caterer
10 bring them on very hot, "for," said the pru-
dent candidate, ''then they won't eat 50 many"
II would seem that Mr.. Alley, in reluctantly
cOnSeuting to allot the credit mobiller stock to
members of Congress, sagaciOusly counted upon
it, proving 80 hot that they wouldn't keep it
long on their hands. IL did.

The House has got rid of its credit mobiler
elephant, and can now proceed with the real
business of the session. IL has been evident for
some time that the further prosecution of the
inquiry was an Improbable work. 1t was dem
onstTated at a pretty early stage of the pro-
eeedings that whatever may have been the in
tons of Cakes Ames in the matter, nobody was
briSed to do any improper act in behalf of his
road. Since then the investigation has degen-
Grated into series Of partizan skirmishes, and
of sharp electioneering efforts on the part of
ambitious men to implicate their rivals, or, at
least, TO tar them sufficiently to keep them oc-
CuPied and out Of the way Of immediate COM
petition. This being the case, it is not strange
that the House should have yesterday decided
to get rid OF its expensive elephant-hide, hair,
tusks, trunk and all. The liberals - who hoped
to see the republican party go to pieces in the
melee, and to be called upon to administer upon
its effects, will of course be disguised with this
of-hand disposal of the matter, but the country
at large viii be rejoiced. The people all along
have been a good deal puzzled to see why it
was 20 much wickeder 10 hold credit mobilier
stock than to hold stocks in national banks,
mines, manufactures, railroads, land compa-
lies, and the many other interests in which
Congressman have heretofore dabbled without
CenSure.

In the army appropriation bill as passed BY
the House, provision was made tor new uni
forms for the army. The Senate struck this out
and adopted an amendment providing that no
part of this appropriation shall be expended for
any army uniform of different pattern from
that prescribed by regulations of the army
during the war of the rebellion, until the sup
ply OIL hand shall be exhausted" The bill.
when returned to the House, viii of course go
to a conference committee. According to the
figures of the War Department. the amount of
clothing on hand, which becomes obsolete By
the change to the new uniform, is, at present
issue prices, about three million dollars. OF
this, over q million dollars represents uniform
jackets not now used in the army at all. The
Secretary of War thinks this clothing could be
disposed Of for enough to equip the army with
tire new uniform. Moreover, much of this
clothing was made up in war times, is badly
made, and would be condemned on inspection.
Nor are the sizes such as can be worn by the
present force. There Is a large number of cit
tie breeehes," and a large number of big men
to wear them; so that if the army bill passes in
ITS present shape, the Secretary of War will
have TO turn out the large men in bare legs.
while the little fellows will be comfortably
clothed. This will be rather rough on the big
men. especially in this weather. The only way
to get out of this difficulty will be, as a high
Official suggested to the Secretary of War to-
day. to discharge all the big men, and instruct
the recruiting officers to enlist no men who are
too big for their breeches on hand.
This may al seem to be a very good joke
among Congressman, but il will certainly prove
a serious joke TO the soldiers when they come to
draw their new clothes, should the Senate
amendment be adhered to-
