A YOUNG GIRL RESCUED PROM BAD

Early yesterday morning q man, indicating by
his appearance that he was a mechanic and some
what past the prime Of life, entered police head
quarters and inquired for detective, saying that
he had matter in which such an ofaeer's assist
ance was desired. Both by the manner Of speak
ing and actions the man showed that his trouble
was of family nature and one that had given
him much disturbance in mind, although he
would not acquatnt station-keeper Britt with the
circumstances. He preferred TO walt until some
member Of the detective corps should arrive and
disclose TO him the causes that had brought his
services into reqgisltlon: After waiting short
and with them he was soon In consultation. Being
q man Of family and respectability, his name,
oerned IN the affair, is withheld from publication
He informed the officers that his child had been
absent IRON home for nearly four months, and
and desired that she might be returned to her

effort had been made to provide her with q com

he had exerted every influence to raise her prop

secured for her, and finally disappeared alto

company was likely to lead her astray If she was
The detectives took the case in hand, and pro
eeeding to Capitol Hill they found the girl at a
house that bears bad reputation in the neigh

with such companions around her, was fast over
taking her. She is only Is years Of age, quite
pretty, modest in her department and attractive
in her manners. She stated that they abused
her at home and she would not remain there with
them. On being taken to police headquarters
she was confronted by her father, but declined
all oVertures looking towards returning to the
family. Finding her mistaken in this determi-
nation, he decided to send her to the Home of the

has Initiated, and, inssmuch as he proposes the
presentation only OF the musical works Of the

initiate against morality and religion; but those

from the bridge. Under the good management
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Moore, assisted by many Of the
persons in the neighbOrhoOd, the congregation
continued to grow in numbers and Importance
weekly, which led them to set on foot project
70 build suitable and cosy place OF worship
This they have succeeded in doing at a cost Of
g. 800. On last Sunday their neat house Of WoT.
ship was dedicated to the service OF God.
The church is perfectly plain inside, the plss-
teTing being Dare, awaiting the mastery hand of
the fTecOeT to change il from its present color to

ably about three hundred persons. The pulpit

A DARING ROBBER.
HE is CAPTURED IN THE THIRD STOR
OF DWELLING HOUSE

HE is CAPTURED IN THE THIRD STORY
OF A DWELLING HOUSE.
Last evening, about $50 O'Clock, the inmates of
a house on Fourteenth street, two doors above f,
were frightened by hearing the sound Of footballs
on the third floor. Knowing that none Of the
household were in that story it was quickly de-
cided that burglars were about. This declaration
only increased the fears Of the females, who be-
gan hunting for an easy mode Of escape. How
ever, the male portion Of the inmates were more
courageous, and two of them decided to ascend to
the third floor, survey the scene and confront the
burglar. On reaching the door Of the room they
met black, burly negro, who looked strong
enough to Yanquish the entire household. The
floor was strewn with clothing, while large
quantity was piled up ready for removal, the
thief having decided, probably, to make a
thorough cleaning out Of the premises The gen.
tlemen, thinking discretion the part Of Valor Sc
cured the door and sent for policeman.
Of1cers Nicholson and Moores quickly re-
sponded, and, on entering the passRge-Wsy, the
first object to attract their attention was pair Of
"pOntOOns," which the man had taken off before
going up stairs. When the policemen came into
the room where the man was he feigned drunk
enness, but 1t did not operate WELL for he was i'm
mediately taken into custody. On searching him
there was found handsome meerschaum pipe in
his pocket which belonged to one Of the parties
that had been performing sentinel duty. He was
marched to the Central guard-house, the officers
having to force way through an immense crowd
that had cOngregated in front Of the house to see
the burglar. At the station house he gave his
name as Thomas OveltOn, which is believed to be
hctitious, and he will be taken before Judge
Smell TODAY.

COLONEL COLBY.

In ForHeys Sunday Chronicle there appeared,
in connection with article on the safe burglary
a most unjust attack upon Colonel Colby late
clerk Of the District investigating committee and
present consul to Hong Kong, which charges that
after being summoned to appear as a witness he
slipped away. The facts are as follows: Mr.
Colby had arranged to be married on Tuesday,
November 8, at Philadelphia, and leave the same
day for China, several weeks before being sum-
moned. He was summoned as a witness st noon
on the Friday before he left. He went at once to
Mr.. Riddle, and told him that he knew nothing
Of the atidavits in question; that he never saw
them: that he avoided being in the room when
the committee was in secret session. He told Mr..
Riddle Of his arrangements, and asked that he
might be sworn that or the next day or Monday
at the farthest. Mr.. Riddle was satisfied that he
knew nothing Of the papers in question, and told
Colby that IL he did not call him before noon on
Saturday he might consider himself dis
charged. He was not called on Saturday, and
considered himself free, and in accordance with
his previous arrangements went to Philadelphia
on Monday afternoon, was married Tuesday and
left for China at once.
