Rurglaries.

Last evening Peter Philebar's saloon was
entered through side door and a lot ofci-
gars and two bottles Of whisky taken. A bar
Of iron was evidently used to effect an en- :
trance as the door was pried open and
splintered. They were frightened off and
then subsequently discovered by Officer
Metsch at Mertz's bakery who secured the
services ofC. B. Knox and Officer German
and succeeded in arresting the offenders.
On the way to the marshals Office they
threw away lot of cigars but were detect
ed in the act by Metsch who succeeded in
recovering most of the goods. They were
subsequently taken to Jail where they will
remain until tomorrow when trial will
be had before Justice Hayden. Officer
Metsch deserves much credit for his in
trepedity in arresting these characters.
He followed them from 1890, discovering
them first back of the high school building.
Marshal Halves thinks the men are old
offenders and fugitives from justice.
Yesterday, two suspicious looking char.
acters attracted the notice of Officer Bren
an, who after reporting to the Marshal
kept watch on them all day when they
crossed to Davenport and were lost.
Last night, however, they sold to Profess
or Young, valuable butter dish for &
mere trife, whose suspicious were aroused
and he Immediately left word with Marsh
al Halves. Policeman Feeley and Rosen'
field started to capture the offenders
which after some difficulty they succeeded
in doing when the following articles wer
found in their possession:
A quaint old fashioned piece of silver
probably the bottom to celery dish or a
ancient salt cellar; a silver plated Smith
revolver with gold plated cylinders;
chinchilla overcoat; ribbed dress coat;
blue center silk wipe; one bottle {
chloroform; one bottle of oil; two pocke
knives; several wax candles, and sever;
minor trinkets.
They were taken to Jail and gave th
names of Ed. Stavehill and Alfred Morri

JNo. L. REED, City Cir
The New York herald., 1878-12-14
DR.. Hammond's Proposition.

Dr. Hammond, in communication
which we give to-day, returns to brief
consideration Of the case Of Miss Fancher,
and declares himself not satisfied with the
evidence so far published that this young
person possesses the faculty commonly
called clairvoyance-thati is, supernatural
power Of perception by which the mind,
without the assistance Of the sense Of
vision, is made cognizant-of things that
naturally could only reach it through the
eye. He repeats his proposition for a very
simple test of the plain fact whether this
lady differs from other human creatures in
this particular; whether she has capacity
to discover what is written on papers
that she has not seen and cannot see, and
Of which she is not informed by persons in
collusion with her by any trickery or de-
vice such as conjurers use in these cases.
He proposes to put in the room with her,
in plain envelope, a check for upward Of
q thousand dollars, which he will give her
if she correctly states its date, number, the
sum for which it is drawn, upon whom
drawn and by whom signed. 1t is claimed
that Miss Fancher has performed feats
equal to this, and il she has, and was not
merely guessing, she can do them again.
The New York herald., 1878-12-14

be made, but that they were the first to call
the attention o. the Treasury Department
to the necessity for it.
We trust the Committee Of Ways and
Means will not attempt at this short ses-
sion to make any other changes in the sugar
tariff. We warned Mr.. Wood before Congress
met that he ought to leave the tariff alone
for this session. The country needs just
now stability more than anything else. The
present needless agitation about the sugar
duties has alarmed and distressed several
thousand industrious workmen at this port
alone, who have met and publicly expressed
their uneasiness at seeing their means Of
living made insecure. The present duty
brings in the requisite amount Of revenue
and the business has accustomed itself to the
rate. 1t is possibly too high, and it can
probably hereafter be changed to advan-
tage but for the present let us have stabil-
ity. That is the most important. With the
change we have mentioned, and q sensible
system of drawback which the Treasury
can arrange, there is a fair prospect that
our sugar refining industry will rapidly
increase and become one of the great export
trades of the country.
