John seeger's Residence, in the Sixth Ward,
Visited and His Wearing Apparel Carried
OR--The Clothing Recovered, but the
Valuables Gone.
Fast upon the robbery of Gov. Davis resi-
denoe Tuesday morning, comes the report Of
another successful burglary in tho Sixth ward,
yesterday morning. Mr.. John seeger was made
the victim of this prowling and robbery. He
was aroused about 8 o'clock in the morning by
an unusual noise. His wife insisted there was
some one in the house, and he was reluctant to
believe it. Finally the conviction forced itself
upon him by the sound of footsteps. He
jumped up, reached for his pants, found them
gone, but gave pursuit anyway. ,iss,5f. .,ss{ n
+ The robbers for two were seen, made haste
to get out of the !house, did so by the back
door, and eluded pursuit BY concealmont in
the brush near at hand. Mr.. Seeger returned
to his room and looked about to see the results
of the visit from unlimited guests. He found
all his clothes gone, which he had cast
off on retiring. In the pants pocket
were his watch and 80 cents, in his shirt three
gold studs. Fishing out his Sunday garments,
Mr.. Seeger clothed himself and went out to
make report to the police, which he did to Ser
geant Walsh.
Returning with the sergeant to his house,
Mr.. 6eeger found his wearing apparel on the
stairway near Yoergs brewery, but the pockets
had been rifed and the studs
torn from the shirt front. An
examination of the premises showed that
entrance had been gained into the house by the
back door; the door unlocked from the out
side by use of burglars nippers. In looking
about Mr.. Seeger and the Sergeant made for
tunate discovery, which had escaped the notice
of the thieves. On the dining room table
jewelry and other articles, watch, ETC., to the
value of $4OO, were lying there, only partially

Excitement in Consequence Of the German
Duty on Tobacco--Proposal for Free
Trade With the United States.
HAVANA, June s.-Advices to the 18th of May
have been received from San Domingo. Great
excitement prevailed in the northern provinces
because of the increased duty on tobacco in
Germany, which it is feared will be very heavy,
as Germany is he sole market for San Domingo
tobacco. All transactions have been
stopped, and serious crisis is expected in
consequence of this state of affairs President
Guillermo has submitted to Congress propo-
sition to establish free trade with the United
States. The plan proposes admission into San
Domingo duty free of all American produce
provided the United States will
grant the same privilege to
San Domingo produce. The proposition
was very popular, though it was feared the
United States would refuse to enter into the
agreement. Congress was discussing the rro-
posal, and if approved it was intended to dis.
patch special envoy to Washington.

Burglary at Hudson.

Burglary at Hudson.
Word comes from Hudson that burglary,
attended with the accumulation of spoils,
was committed there Monday night. Super
intendenk Winters, of the West Wisconsin
road, was the victim. . His residence was en-
tered and despoiled of every article of silver
ware, valuable lot, which he possessed.
The burglars were evidently experts, tue i'm
press of nlppers being found on the key of
the door through which entrance was gained.
The burglars once getting in, went system
atically to work to explore the lower rooms.
Falling upon the bonanza in a wealth of sill
yer ware, they confined their attention to it,
and got away without disturbing the family
at sleep in the. rooms up stairs. It is reck-
oned that the thieves succeeded in carrying
away 81 900 worth of valuables.
This robbery, coupled with the late ones
occurring in this locality, indicates the prob
ability Of the presence of city professionals
'sdoing" the country. Too much care cannot
be exercised in barring the doors against the
skill of these, evidently, professional bur
glars.

COLUMBUS, June 3.-The hotels are fast fill.
ing up with delegates to the State Democratic
and Greenback conventions which meet to-
morrow. The contest for governor on the
Democratic ticket overshadows all other inter-
ests and the fight at present is narrowed down
to Rice and Bishop, friends of both candioates
claiming sure thing for their champions, but
hour. There is very little talk of coalition
with Greenback men. Senator Thurman and
Gen. Ewing have telcgraphed their friends they
will not attend the convention.
COLUMBUS, o., June 3.-The hotels are over
flowing with delegates to the State Democratic
morrow. Interesteenters on the nomination
for Governor and platform, and other candi-
dates are attracting little attention. Thus far
the contest to. day for Governor has been be-
tween Gen. Rice anI Gov. Bishop. This morn
ing the Rice men had things almost entirely
from the rural counties on the after
noon trains has materially increased
Bishops strength. Interviews had tonight
| with both Bishop and Rice show that both men
are nervous of the others strength, but are
making the best of it, and each claims their
chances for the nomination excellent. This
evening Gen. Ewing's strength has been in
crcasing materially. This arises from the fact
that he is the only man that there seems to be
any hope the Greenbackers will coalesce on and
because he will be more acceptable to the sup
porters of both Rice and Bishop when it be.
comes evident neither of them can be nomi
mated. Few supporters of either Rice or
Bishop admit the possibility of defeat of theil
candidate, but each in turn admit that Ewing
has strength as u popular candidate, and that
he will be the man they can unite on better
than any one else. Judge Gilmore Will be
nominated for supreme judge and Howells fol
treasurer without opposition. The platform
will be substantially that of last year. It vii
endorse the Congress action relating to the Pres
ident's veto, declare that the government shall
issue all paper money and demands unlimite,
coinage of silver and will favor the substitution
of grcenbacks for national bank notes.
A number of prominent workers in the Ma
} tional Greenback party held a preliminary con
! ference tonight, and with scarcely an excep
tion opposed coalition with the Democrats i
, nominating any candidates State ticket
Their sentiment expressed was that it woul
be wise for the Greenback organization to hol
its convention and nominate It's candidate
