specto1 correspondence If The Tribute.
RACINE, Wis, Sept. 2.-Scvera1 weeks
ago your correspondent promised the read
crs Of THE SuSpAr TRIBUNE his
tory of the early days Of the several churches ot
Racine, which would run through a series OF
letters until all had been included. At the time
the promise was made arrangements had been
entered into with those who were considered
lu1uinarics in the different sancturarics inter
esteG, for the purpose OF furnishing data on
which to base the artirle. The Rev. D. E.
Biercc, OF tho Presbyterian Church, is the only
gentleman who has as yet taken interest
enough in the matter to keep his
promise, and, while the profound theological
researches of the rccaleitrant may have pre-
scntcd their compliance, yet the uaregenerate
writer cannot but draw the inevitable conclusion
that their indifference alone is accountable for
their ncclect. Absence from the city on apos-
toiic vacations, or extra labors during the
ahcatcd tertn," may have baulkcd the good in
tcutions Of few, but 8 simple statement OF
such facts, if they existed, would have been c1-
trcuaely ac,eptahlc. However, your correspond
ent will try, in the absence OF the matcrfa! SO

THE BONFIELD BURGLARY.

The Bonield burglary heretofore noticed, was
rather lively affair, something different from
the general monotonous run. The part of the
house that was of most interest to the thieves was
occupied by Mrs Bonfeld and her grandson,
Frank Schneider, of Omaha Nebraska, who slept
in an adjoining room. Frank Is lively lad Of IA
years, and not much given to fear. He awoke
during the night, and thinking he heard unusual
noises, partly dressed, took his gun, and going
out circled around the house. but saw no one.
He returned to his room, thinking IL false alarm
and had hardly pulled the covering over him
when three men came In with rush One of
them, wearing mask, stood over Frank with a
revolver, and said; keep quiet my lad, or ri
have to make small hole In your head anOth-
er, wearing false beard executed the same ma
noeHver toward Mrs, Bonfeld, and calmly re-
marked: Don't stir Madam or you may never
know what happened" while the third. with
lantern did the collecting. He first broke Franks
gun, and afterward took his valuable watch,
present to him. Mrs. Bondeld begged him to
leave her spectaces and teeth which he kindly
consented to do While the collector was work.
ing Frank asked his guard how they got in, and
he replied Never mind, Wen leave hole to
'No" JNu' hS theh heheu MHdI ulne IL was,
and the fellow said "it made no difference, as his
watch was no good" Mrs Bonheld, too, spoke
to her guard, and said 81 hope the good Lord
will have mercy on your SOULS Don't trouble
yourself, old lady we will come back and talk
about that next Sunday" When they had fin
isaed they left, warning them to make no noise
until five minutes had elapsed from their depar-
ture, or they would burn the barn The moment
the five minutes were up by the clock Frank
dressed, went to the stable got the horse and rode
to town to give the alarm.

He was on East Tuscarawas st. last Friday; his
clothes were seedy an old slouch hat was set far
back on his head, and uncombed locks struggled
down his forehead shadowing his bleared eyes
He was next door to stone blind and dizzy as a
tmid baloOnatC. The first move that attracted
the attention of the crowd, was his effort to sit
down on the edge OF nothing but he failed; he
knew he had failed too as soon as he touched
the sidewalk, tie managed to get up again, and
started down street-a rail fence is bee line com
pared with his zigzag course finally, he threw
his arm around the pump at the corner of Wal
nut and with his head dropping on his breast he
said: Shay, my fren, dzhOO gon' a vote fr TIL
en-, er f'r Hen (hic)-rix?" There was no response,
and he tried to look up, and repeated: "Wooz
'er gon er vo,(hic)-ote f'r" Still no answer He
grew angry then, and removing his loving arm
from the pump, Indignantly remarked: Go to
ger d-hic devil anyman all giz drun-hit .unk
zyou are, bet fl dollz voze FIR HELEN an Tin
hic-Tindrinks" He staggered off after that,
and when we last saw him he was asking De-
vile if he kept a boarding house or streetcar
stable.
