A Daring Robbery In the Government
Printing Office Under the Clerks Nose.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-To-day,
between eleven and one O'Clock, a thief
entered the Government Printing Office,
and, watching his opportunity, took from
the safe of the disbursing clerk a package
of currency contaiug $4,000 Intended for
paying of the employees and for the pur-
chase OF material, and made bis csc. pc
without observation. Drtec ives were
immediately put to work, and 1t is thought
the money will be soon recovered. One
Of the most Astonishing circumstances
connected with the robbery Is the fact
that the door leading into the chief
clerks room adjoining was open during
the whole time, and that room was filled,
as usual, with clerks.
The money was sorted in envelopes
ready TO he paid out to employees, zach
envelope bearing the name of the person
TO whom It was t. be given. The whole
amount was In notes ranging from $50 to
! S5. Suspicious parties have been hover
ing aboui the building in the vicinity Of
the discussing clerks room for two OF
three days, and it Is believed that they
succeeded In getting wax impression of
the lcck TO the discussing clerks safe,
and had key made TO fit II. Detectives
are at work tonight but thus far with
out result. There were so many persons
passing IN and out Of the building about
noon that the thiefs could easily have es
capped WITHOUT observation. Public
Printer D-frees has offered reward Vi
500 for the recovery of the money.

The cold wave which has been sweep
ing down from the northwest for the past
two days, struck Wilmington last even
ing aud soon produced the iveliest kind
OF cold weather that has been experienc-
ed in this city since the memorable "cold
Monday" early in January, 1865. Dur
ing the night the cold intensified, and
when the grey dawn appeared the local
thermometers were scarcely deep enough
to record the severity OF the weather
Three degrees below zero was the state
OF the thermometer at Belts drug store
Sixth and Market streets, at g O'Clock
this morning, and at o'clock the mer-
curry had risen just barely to the cipher
that marks zero point. BY eleven o'clock
1t bai crept up to three degrees above
zero, and at this point it lowered for the
balance of the morning.
The .rtreme cold rendered all outdoor
some cases impossible. The milkmt n

To warm their sluggish blood. Drivers
hurried their horses as fast as posi- BILE,

them to be on the streets bundled up to

The following is a statement Of the

New YoRk, January 2-Judge Batch

Court, rendered his decision, fifty six
lases long, III the case of Coleman, arls-
ing ont of naturalization papers of 1864.
Coleman came up before hlm on haDeas

male was def ctive, as itsimply charg d
the use of cert ticate of naturalization
unla"tully issued, without stating mar
tlcuiars in which 1t was unlawful or facts
thai mad II so. He also decides that
Coleman was dul, and legally admitted

MS admission was not invalidated by an
or admission which occurred either
PRIOR or Subsequent TO his admission. As
he was leg-lly admitted, it was proper 10
give hiin certificate of citizen. .hip, and
that certihcate was not unlawfully issued
or made. Coleman is, therefore, tn,

her hand upon the back Of his
head, she held it firmly down under
the water, and had no difficulty,
Notwithstanding the struggles Of the
sufferer, in keeping it there as long as
she liked. Every schoolboy, however,
knows hat the art Of ducking to be
thoroughly successful should be prac-
ticed with a good deal of moderation,
and that without the admixture of
prudence the effects are not unlikely
to be tragic. In this case the nymph,
whose hand was nerved with all the
bitterness of passion, went Just a little
too far, and reduced the foe to a state
of unconsciousness from which he was
with difficulty recovered. He was,
however, dragged out alive, chiefly by
the assistance Of his prosecutor, who
saw her mistake in time, and took an
opportunity, as well he might, Of say
ing good-by to Dieppe. His turn for
vengeance has, it seems, now again
come round, and he has Instituted
proceedings against the lady for an
attempt to murder him. The case
seems actually likely to be heard at
the Assizes; but the Norman jurymen
must be very degenerate if they do
not read a severe lesson to this ungal-
liant prosecutor.

A very mysterious crime is being in
y~estigated in Paris. A woman, called
the "0gress des Lilas,' is accused of
having made away with a number of
children. Her plan was to stand al
the gate of the Founding Hospital.
and to persuade young mothers TO
trust her with their children, on the
ground that she was the confidential
servant Of the Marquise de X, who
had recently been confined. and whose
child had died. The marquise was
not aware Of her loss. and another
child could be substituted for that
which was dead. A brilliant future
would thus be secured, and so on. Up
to the present she has obstinately re.
fused to say what has become of the
children. She appears to be the widow
of count, and has received an excel
lent education.
The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna
tells of the narrow escape of an aged
Hebrew ofthat city from being buried
alive. He had been bedridden for a
long time, and, being taken with vio-
lent commissions, became stiff and
cold, and was taken for dead. 1t is a
custom among the orthodox Jews,
which may have caused many a pre-
mature burial, and which the reformed
Jews have entirely discarded, to inter
their dead on the day of their decease.
Fortunately for Perez Fischer, the
day Of his supposed demise was Fri
day, and it was impossible, on account
Of the approach ofthe Sabbath, which
with the orthodox Hebrews begins at
shutdown on Friday, to bury him with
the usual dispatch. He was laid out,
and two faithful believers were set to
watch and pray over him until the
close of the Sabbath. Toward dawn

wholesale K-IeptOmania.

Hartford Courant.l
Kleptomania is one of the most
curious of diseases, and one of the
best illustrations ever witnessed in
Hartford is found in the case of Jas.
B. LoOmis, a well-knOwn horse-trader
and veterinary surgeon. LoOmis has
been under suspicion for several years
past, growing out of the missing of
articles following his visits to stables
or horse furnishing goods stores that
he frequented in the course of his
business. The officers have made a
thorough search Of the room which
LOOMS had occupied. The results
were astonishing. A full wagon
load of articles was secured, some
packed away in baskets and boxes and
others piled up or scattered around
loosely. A large wooden chest dis
closed horses boots, wrenches, bits.
single or in unopened packages,
sardines, boxes of blacking, augers.
bottles of porter, shears, paint brushes.
window cord, chopping knives, whip
lashes, pickles, surcingles, harness
oil, soap and at the bottom several
linen and light woollen lap robes. A
wooden box was packed solid with
packages of smoking tobacco. and a
basket with sponges. Several blad-
ders of snuff were in a box with odds
and ends of harnesses and harness
trimmings. About thirty whips were
found, including a gold mounted one
with the owners name, joseph X.
Mcclure, upon it. OF horse blankets
and lap robes there were two dozen or
more, some Of them very valuable.
1t is almost a certainty that LOOMS
stealing is in the nature of kleptoma-
MIA, for he stole many articles that
were of no value to him, and it cannot
be learned that he ever sold or at
tempted to sell any of the goods that
he had stolen during the period Of.
four or five yesrs, some Of the articles
identified having been taken as long
ago as that.
