Last night about 2 o'clock burglars en-
tered the residence of Mai. II. G. Counelly.
They gained entrance by boring two boIes
through the inside blinds and opening the
patent fasteniDgs. Mrs. Connolly was
irst awakened, and as soon as she saw
some one in the room she screamed. This
aroused the Major, who bounded out Of
bed and with whoop like a Comanche
Indian took after the fellow. In the race
through the back parlor the fellows foot
hit a chair, and supposing that be was
closely pressed he fired his revolver, the
ball entering the ceiling In his hurry to
catch the burglar the Major forgot his re-
vOlver and the fellow succeeded in making
his escape. Nothing was missed from the
house this morning. For twelve years
Major Connolly has slept with his old
army revolver under his pillow and this is
the first opportunity he has had to use it,
but in his hurry be could not place his
hand upon it. During these twelve years
some of the same charges have remained
in the revolver This morning they were
fired and not one of them missed fire,

decided to hold trotting meetings, to rent
the grounds for such purpose Over half

Captured.

On the evening of Sept. llth, 1878, the
house OF Thos. johnson, Milan, was en-
tered by burglars, and silverware amount
ing to 5000, stolen. Every effort was made
to discover the thieves, but without avail,
until yesterday, when Jack Heating and
Joe Clinton, of Davenport, succeeded in
tracing the robbery to one James Spencer,
who was Immediately arrested and put in
Jail to await requisition from this state.
Marshal Halves went over to Davenport
this morning and tried to induce Spencer
to come over, but he refused to do so, ex-
cept on a regular requisition from the gov.
ernor Of this state. All or nearly all the
articles stolen have been recovered.

incorporation,

Several members Of the city council
met in special session last evening to con-
slider the Unions petition to organize the
city under the general incorporation law
After waiting about an hour for quorum
those present went home. The question
will now probably go over TIL next year
and this will give the people time to thor
oughly study the proposition. While
there is no doubt but that 10 many re-
spec.s the move is good one, it has some
reasonable objections aud there is no
special public interest to be subserved by
cTowding it upon the city at this particular
time. We have gotten along very COM
fortabiy for several years with our old
charter, and can use it at least another
year. AS the editor of the Union is very
solcitious about his little petition, those
national aldermen who absented them
selves last night did very wrong. Should
he happen to take their action as a per
sonal affroDt he may pocket his little peti
ton and refuse them the pleasure Of acting
upon it, or he may possibly initiate more
illustrious example and close his office anC

Capture of Burglar--Exciting Chase
hv Officer Mafsch

The theory of the police, thatsthe burg
lars who visited Peter Fries house were
old craftsmen, and that they would make
q second attempt somewhere in that neigh
borhood, was we'll founded. Special in
structions were given the police officers,
and Officer Metsch, who was patroling that
part of the city where Mr.. Fries lives. met
a man, between one and two o'clock, whom
he endeavored to engage in conversation,
but the fellow took to his heels. The officer
put after him, the burglar, for such he
proved to be, firing at the officer during
the chase. The fellow finally took refuge
in the high school yard. Metsch, then
told him to stop or he would kill him, but
instead Of stopping, ball went whizzing
by the officers head. Metsah then fred at
the fellow but he lodged behind tree
aud with revolver and knife, stood at bay.
Metsch, however. was not to be baffed,
and leveling his revolver, commanded the
fellow to drop knife and pistol
or he would kill him." The burg
lar, seeing the game was up, dropped his
weapons and the officer took him in charge
and placed him in jail Marshal Halves
was sent for, and by cross questioning and
threats, the fellow finally said that Fries
goods were hidden in Judge Spencer 8
barn, on Seventh avenue. The place was
at once visited and the goods recovered,
except a fine overcoat, which the fellow
had ON when captured The bravery #
Officer Metsch in pursuing his man in the
face of bullets, and his determined pursuit
and capture of the desperate, is worthy
the highest praise
Yesterday morning blood was found on
the sidewalk in front of Mr.. Fries house,
and was traced for some distance, the
police hoping, by this means, to be able to
track the burglars. 1t was supposed that
Henry Schmidt had wounded one of the
men when ne fred at them, but it seems
that the blood was from a cut received or
the banysters in Fries house. The fellow
who was arrested had an ugly wound il
his hand, thus connecting him with the
burglary beyond question.
The prisoner was arraigned this morn
ing, but waived examination and wal

jury under $500 bail. He gave his name
