street Station to await his trinl next
week. Tuesday night he attempted to
relieve gentleman at the Atlantic Gar.
den of his watch and chain, but. did not
succeed. Last night, at the Grand Opera
house, he was busying himself in the
crowd pouring out, but officers Wappen-
stein and Kusbman, who were lying IN
wait for him, took him In. His followers
are supposed to have jumped the CITY.
The Sabbath School OF the Sixth Pres
byterian Church, First ward, gave very
pleasant entertainment last evening in
the form of concert. The house was
crowded to overfowing. The entertain
ment consisted of tableauX, dialogues,
singing, and concluded with the beautI-
iul operattta of "Gfandfather's Birth
day." Especially noticeable were the
tabieaux of "Feed my Lambs" the beau
tiful singing OF the little Misses Hamble-
ton, Streeter and Cranston, and Master
Leist; and the speaking of Master Arm
strong. All did so we'll that it is iuvidi
Gus TO make distinctions. AT the re.
quest Of many the concert will be re-
peated on next Friday evening, and Mr.
High, the energetic superintendent Of
the school, informs us that several
changes will be made in the programme
in oruer. to bring forward some beautiful
