pears, is the proprietor OF the Simms House
ut Piedmont. on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, in West Virginia. The negro ar
rived in this city on the train preceding the

On Thursday last the robbery was com-
mitted. Mr.. Entler was Ia his Office at the
hotel, and having occasion to make some
change for gentleman laid bis pocket book
containing the money and other valuaoIes IN
the safe, which was open. While his back
was turned the boy took out the pocket-book
and quietly pocketed it. The book contain.
ed about S170 Ia cash., d number Of rail.
road tickets, negotiable note given by w.
A. Bell to j. P. A. Entler for 1925, and an.
ether note for S58 given by W. j. Anderson
to j. P. A. Entier. Suspicion rested upon
this boy, and search was msde for the pocket
book In his room. It was found on the floor
behind the door lying In a lot Of rubbish.
The whole matter was placed in the hands
of Detectives Knox & Wren, and they have
worked up the case with dispatch. The
negro boy was arrested yesterday by Detec-
tive Wren and locked up. He had on bis
person $50 in money, watch and chain,
and new suit Of clothes. he mad bought
$50 worth of clothing from Mr. Solomon
Wise; valise for 50; and bad paid Sl2 on

not confess to having taken Che pocket. book,
although he could give no Satisfactory fea-
son Tor leaving his home so suddenly. A
twenty. dollar note which was found upon
him was identified by Mr.. Entler.

tanned 10 custody until q requistion is sent

third Sunday evening lecture, "Astroogy and super
sition" served to illustrate the present rs well as
the past history OF false science. The account gwen
of the predictions made By astroogers respecting the
lives of noted persons of our own day, was wen

thar has been the with previous lectures Ihero
was, however a great deal Of curious information
furnished. The inference may be fairly drawn that
astrolocy has q deeper hold in England than here
Prof Proctors pointed dsayowal of personal ac-
ouantance with Prince Albert Edward was very

for believers in luck but probably proved disap-
