u0IrSE ROBBED
In Broad Day Light Near ST. Glars
Vile.

On SUNDAY last, sometime between the
hours of 8 A. NJ. to P. NJ, the residence
Of Samuel Gfon on the Mi. Pleasant
rosd. two miles Northeast OF st. Glars
vile, was entered and four Martins
Ferry scnool bonds stolen. The family
had all gone TO church at ST. Clalrsville,
so no one was about the premises when
the theft WAS committed. On the return
cfthe family, their attention was attract
eI TO the confused state Of the furniture
and clothing. An examination Was at
once begun TO ascertain what was up.
The bureau drawers showed signs Of hav-
ing been rsnsacked and the contents
streWn on the floor A trunk in which
the pocket book that contained the
bonds, had been opened, the pocket book
unclssped, the following Numbered bonds
distracted, and the pocket book replaced
No. /, $500 payable in 1854
No. >, $500, payable in 1888.
No. 20, $780, payable in loS2.
No. 3, 800, payable in 1881.
All of which are made payable to
bearer and readily negotiated. There
were some other bonds in the trunk, but
not being in the pocket book,
were probably unobserved. Jewel
~ and silver ware were disturbed
but mono taken. The only other articles
missed about the house were q couple Of
loaves of bread and some butter. SO far
no clue or suspicion exists as to who the
party or parties are that burglarized the
house. Mr.. Gitin has taken the proper
steps to stop the negotiations of the stolen
bonds. Altogether it was a very slngu-
lar and daring robbery.
Chief of Police Steve Ripley has the
matter IN charge and will leave no stone
unturned TO detect the thieves, if in our
city.

Justice wyIie and the Reporters.

Jusuce "yhs anu the hepOrterh.
Immediately upon the opening OF the Criminal
Court yesterday morning, Justice Wylie took occa-
SION to refer to the synopsis of his charge In the
case OF Edward Ray, alias Curtis, that had been
published In one Of our cotemporaries. lie said
that the space directly In front Of the judges bench
was for the use Of the clerk and court officers but
he had noticed that OF late 1t was encroached upon
by outsiders and occupied by tho reporters. Some.
thing ought TO be done to protect the former and
accommodate the latter. He had observed mis-
takes In the reports published but did not think
that they were made designedly, but were caused
probably by the position Of the seats preventing
them from hearing distinctly. If they wero TO
have reporters they ought 10 have accommodations
and be In q position TO hear distinctly The alb.
strnct OF the charge In the recent was imper-
feet in many things and Is hardly more Just than
a parody made in the interest of the prisoner.

Il Was not that lie reproyed, but the habit OF coun
sci OF invoking God and Jesus Christ TO intensity

non-professiona reporters, and reporter ought -
be either good lawyer or act Ike machine.
He thought that the clerk could spare space, and
II might be fitted up for the use of the reporters.
Right here 1t may be pertinent 10 say that the
seats the reporters occupy were specially Stsgnsd

ton raised up to the present Time a. 20 the rSht oil
their occupancy by them bu! the chief trouble has
been that knights of the quill cannot one half OF
the time get possession of them, owing u the intru
sion OF outsider. Some members of the bar even
will not content themselves within the precincts
assigned for their use, but pop into the reporters
chafTs and when requested to move take uinbrRge
at such an invitation. This will not apply to all o
the legal lights who get into the chairs for some o.

In regard to hearing the court, It Is only ncces
