MAJOR JONI B. JONES is spoken of as
the probable commander of the state
forces in the event of war with Mexico.
Major j. is q fine partiaan officer, but
we doubt if his military training or ex,
perience either would lit him to handle
large body of men with success
Texas does not lack military ability,
and in the event Of brush with Mexico
she can easily find dozen eminent
soldiers competent to command her
armies. General Sull Ross, of Waco,
has talents Of high order, and four
years of glorious experience, He would
fill the place admirably.

Masked Burglars Captured.

On Thursday Superintendent Nc
Kenna of the Troy police, received in
formation of an intended burglary on
the premises of Mr.. Boyle in East
Schodack that same night. The Su-
perintendent made preparations for the
capture of the thieves At 1870 o'clock
Friday morning sleigh containing two
persons was discerned approaching the
house, and the officers disposed them
selves so as to completely surprise the
thieves. The two men came to the front
door, which was locked, and, forcing it
open, entered. The door swinging back
covered the form of Superintendent Nc
Kenna and the burglars filed past in
easy reach without perceiving him.
James Snyder led the way with an axe
unified, and George Smith followed.
BY the time Smith had fairly entered
the room, SO as to render escape impossi-
BILE, the five Trojans sprang from their
places of concealment and demanded
their surrender. McKenna's pistol lev
elled at the head of Smith convinced
him that resistance was impracticable,
and he accordingly succumbed without
remonstrance. Synder was not dispos-
ed to yield, and submitted only after a
struggle. The rufflans captured, their
sleigh was investigated, wherein were
found all the appurtenances of the pro-
fession, masks, gags, robes, and various
other burglarious implements. The
prisoners were conveyed to Troy and
locked up.

The Nluht-uOwus they wear In Springfield.


The Springfield Republican says One
of the luxuries Of bridal trousseau,
made at one of our furnishing establish
ments, Is q night robe, made in the
form, and with oil the elaborateness of q
morning gown. The material is the
sheerest linen lawn, cut in the princesse
form and bordered with straightway
flounce, edged on both sides with Ger
man lace. The sleeves are coat-shaped,
and on the upper sides are made open
by diagonal insertions of lace and
wrought muslin. Upon the body, from
the shoulder to the waist-line, is q SINH
lar arrangement of insertions and lace,
Stimulating lapels. About the neck is
standing collarette formed of full ruffie
of lace,a broad insertion and a lace edge.
In such diaphanous attire one might
well be taken for Venus yelled by the
morning mist.

brighter and fairer than, all these, and
eclipsing every lady present, shone Miss
Julia Grant, Fred Grants infant daughter,
six months old, who assisted at the recep-
tion in robe OF white French lawn with
lace insertipgs over blue silk, blue ribbon
bows down the back, gold necklace and
bracelets with turquoise pendents, solitaire
diamond ring, turquoise guard ring, &c.,
This little lady monopolized the attention
of the guests and fairly threw her mama,
aunt Nellie, and even grandmama Grant
herself completely In the shade. hA
Extensive preparations are already being
made for the Inauguration ball, 1t Is pro-
posed to construct hall in the Northern
Liberty Market building, for the purpose,
by placing an iron floor just above the
stalls, twenty-five feet from the ground
floor and If this project is carried out, it
will give hall three times as large as any
other room in the city. Much perplexity
and no little trouble has been experienced,
In times past, concering the place of hold
ing these balls. At the time of Grants
first Inauguration, the then unfinished
north wing of the Treasury building was
used and the jam was intolerable. Four
years ago an immense frame building was
erected for tie purpose and subsequently
removed, These every fourth year balls
are getting to be considered by many as
nuisances, there being in the gigantic jol-
lity, no visible good either politically or
socially. 1rt.If .ra..if,
Both Houses of Congress were in session
yesterday, and serious business attended
to for the first time for nearly fortnight
Little was done in the Senate besides the
presentation and referring of numerous
bills, petitions, g., of small interest to the
general public. @
The House was without quorum but
before this fact was developed, Mr.. Barnes,
the telegraph operator at New Orleans was
brought to the bar, but at the request of
his counsel, was granted until Friday at Q
o'clock to make his answer. PiN
There have been several meetings of the
House committee on the electoral count and
also of the Senate committee but no Joint
meeting as yet It is understood that this
committee are determined upon devising
some plan for counting the electoral vote
that will be SO perfect and satisfactory as
to need little if any consideration or revis-
ion by Congress. 1t is to be hoped that
their efforts will be successful.
The case of the contested electoral vote
of Oregon was considered yesterday by
the Senate committee on Privileges and
Elections. e. A. Cronin, the elector who
receIVeu Jne nlgnesJ numDer OF VOJeS on
the Democratic ticket and to whom Gov.
Grover issued a certificate of Election, was
called and examined and, afterwards, w.
@. Turner manager of the Western Tele-
graph at Jacksonville, Oregon, was placed
on the stand and closely questioned about
his knowledge of certain dispatches being
received at his Office from New York rela-
tive to the counting of the electoral vote
and of the election in that State, but, firmly
declining to answer, the committee went
into private session to consider his contu-
macy. M. NJ. w.

A Novel Burglar Trap.

Two burglars were captured in New
York store on Sunday morning in neat
manner, which suggests very complete
burglar alarm system. They had packed
up 100000 worth of pearl buttons, and
were astonished to find themselves. con-
fronted by policemen before they could
remove their plumber. 1t seems that the
pearl buttons were contained in boxes
placed upon the counters on the first
floor of the store, and by mechanical
arrangement single ounce in weight of
goods added to or withdrawn from the
counters operated an alarm through
wires connected with the under side of
the tables, running through the legs and
concealed by the flooring. The thieves
were unconscious that their operations
had been discovered until they heard
the breaking of doors and glass below
