CAPTURED.
The Man Who Committed All the BurglarieH
Large Amount Of Property Recovered.

Quite number of burglaries have been
committed in the city during the past six
weeks, and in. such manner that led to the
belief that some thief old in the business was
operating. Chief Detective CIarvoe and De-
tectives Coomes and Miller last night ar.
rested, in low resort on Eighth street, be-
tween D and streets northwest, colored
man named Robert Marshall, alias Charles
Tggler, alias Robert W. Avery, on the sus-
picion that he was Connected with the burg
laries.
On the way to police headquarters the pris-
oner, who was in the hands of Officer Voss,
made e desperate resistance. He was de-
tected in trying TO slip from one of his fingers
valuable ring. Not being able to get rid of
the ring in this way, he got it into his mouth
made to make him disgorge. After the pris-
oner was secured the officers went to his house
and recovered large amount of property
which was recognized as stolen.
Enough was found to identify the prisoner
with about q dozen burglsries which have
occurred lately. Among the goods was q
large portion of the property stolen about q
month ago from the residence of Mr.. William
Stickney. The jewelry and other 'valuables
stolen from the house of Mr.. G.. L. Sheriff
were also recovered. So far nearly all the
goods stolen in the burglaries of late have
been recovered, and 1t is expected more
will be found. Marshall is supposed to be an
escaped convict from the Richmond peniten-
tiary, and there is no doubt that he has been
an unusually active thief, and been engaged
in all the burglaries of any account that have
lately made citizens feel that their property
was insecure,

Revival Meeting.

There was large congregation at DR.. New
mans church last night in attendance upon
the revival meeting now in progress. DR..
Newman opened the meeting by an address to
the young on the words, sMy son, give me thy
heart" which was listened to with much at
tention. He held in his hand letter In
mourning, containing, as he said, a request
that it was impossible for him to comply with.
A mother requested prayers of the church for
the soul Of daughter who had been dead
three months. He said they would cheerfully
pray for the mother, but the daughter was be-
yond the reach Of earthly prayers.
The praying band of the Y. N. g. A. then
took charge. The leader, Mr.. A. T. Stuart,
made some earne st remarks on the words
"Come now, let us reason together; though
thy sins be as scarlet they shall be white as
snow w"-calculsted TO awaken the interest Of
the most concerned He was followed by
Bros. Cheeks, Il Bielaski, Meldrum, Wight,
Hester, Olcutt and Presbrey, each Of whom
gave reason from his own experience why
the young should there aud then surrender,
themselves TO Christ. The congregation were,
deeply impressed, and listened with marked
attention. At the cluse of the mseting DIR.
Newman said that the claims Of religion had
so far been urged mainly BY those who had
been brought up under Christian Influences,
but that the next meeting Ito night) would
be addressed by q number of the Hammond
converts OF last winter-Chas. Nye, Maj, Hall
and. .others-who would, from their standpoint,
press Christ upon the unconverted. DR..
