a FIGHT WITH A BURGLAR.
A Courageous Lady Puts Bur-
glar to Flight.

Tuesday morning, about o'clock, az
attempt was made by an unknown burglar to
enter the residence of Mrs. Davis, 40 Where
street, by cutting the sash ont Of one of the
side windows going into the yard. The noise
awakened Mrs. Davis, who jumping out Of bed
listened for few moments, when she walked
to the mantel-piece in her room, and Lit the
lamp. As soon as the lamp was lighted the
noise ceased, and taking the lamp in her left
hand and q revolver in the other, walked
rapidly to the door next te the window where
sine heard the noise, and opened the door.
The burglar, who was evidently acquainted
with the house, knew that Mrs. Davis was
alone and thinking that he could accomplish
his work of robbing the house whether she
saw him or not, stood up close to the door,
and the moment it was opened he jerked the
lamp out of her hand and tried to enter the
house. Mrs. Davis retreated back in the room
q few PAGES and opened fire on the bold thief,
who jumped up on the fence; two more shots
were fired, but he managed to get over the
fence and succeeded in making good his
escape This is one of the boldest attempts
of the kind that has ever been heard of before,
and it is to be hoped that the guilty party will
be arrested and brought to justice.

cured the purchase Of lot Of rifles by the
Spanish Government, as the story is told,
and has sued the seller for q commission of
some fifteen or twenty Thousand dollars, pay
ment of which has been refused. The i'm
preston of the committee seems to be that
ministers are not sent abroad and paid by

Slowly but surely the coils of evidence have

has long been believed Of his official turpi-

positively tonight, bya member of the House,
that possession has been obtained by one Of
the Investigating committee of an autograph
letter of Williams, which is of itself conclu-
sive proof that while Attorney General he sold
himself and his Office, in one instance, for the
sum Of $1,000. The committee feel that this
is only the beginning of disclosures in the
Department Of Justice, but it is said that the
evidence Of this letter alone is abundantly
