MORE BURGLARIES.

Two More Dwellings Entered Yesterday
Morning and Small Amount of Prop
erty Stolen.
There is certain class of eople in this world
who may be given "line upon limo and precept upon

volver yet they do not heed the warning The
winging of the man Lavalle by Officer Getchell
few nights ago it was thought would have had sal
utary effect and put stop to the organized house
breaking which seems to have been inaueursted IN
this city In this there is disappointment. Between
and O'Clock yesterday morning the residence of
Hon. E. F. Drake, No. Lafayette avenue, was en-
belonging to Mr.. Drake's daughter stolen.
The thieves effected an entrance through
q window in the rear of the house and
passing up stairs entered the sleeping room of the
young iaaies, who we're absent from home. AS far
cou be ascertaned the only articee mis- sing are
pair of bracelets, neck chain. gold ring and one
ring, in all of about the value Of $780, Sergeant
Walsh VAS making his rounds in that vicinity alb ut
s a. M, and when he blew his whistle to summon
the officer on that beat it is supposed the thieves
| took alarm aud rapidly decamped. AS Mr.. brakes
residence sets back from the and the grounds
profosely covered with shrubbery, the burglars
had every p1ortunity to keep out of sight Of the
officers.
1t is supposed that whqn the thieves were alarmed
at the Drake mansion they waited an hour or II ore
and then proceeded to the residence of MIR. H. g.
Merrill agent of the st. Paul Omaha road No. 63
saltwater street, where they removed the wire
| screen from window on the ground floor
which opened into Mr. Merrilfs bedroom,
and without entering ished out Mr.. Merri rs
vest which was laying u chair and in which was
his gold watch and So In money. Mr.. Merrilps
family is away aud he knew nothing of his loss until
he awoke in the morning. The same is true in con-
nection with the Drake robbery. The thefts were
not reported to the police authorities until about
Q. m. Sofar there Is no clue to the robbers. al
though from all the surroundings 1t is positive that
it is not the work Of professional expert thieves 1t
is to be hoped If these depredations continue that
SOME OIL will prove more ex, ert shot than officer
Getchel, and leave least of the rascals be-
hind to erve as clue to the rest Of the gang.
THIRD ATTEMPT AT THE SAME HOUSE.
About o'clock yesterday morning an at
tempt was made to break into the house of
Herman ZienzIer, corner of Fourth street

after the empire oy of the West will be of the
fixed racing points of the Union. The meeting of
1879 was given amid the bead shaking of the wise
acres who could see nothing but failure for the en-
terprise. But the result was 80 eminenty satisfac-
toryly that in 1889 two meetings we're announced.
Again. despite the hopes of some and fears of many
the meeting was successful, and 1881 swung
around with another enticing pro-
gramme, which was responded to by owners of
such high class of horses the fame of whose prcw-
ess had become justly celebrated that the people
hocked to witness their contests. Indesd, so satie-
factorily from every view did the meeting result,
that its close the public spirited citizens who had
been instrumental in bringing about such grand
suits, conceived the idea Of following the great
Eastern clubs in Offering fixed events

Hence eight stakes have been opened for various

Gatitedu's assault.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-Warden Crocker,
of The Jail, now admits that Guiteau did have
a knife, and used it in his assault upon the
guard, McGill, Wednesday. Crocker says he
had not thoroughly investigated the matter
when he denied it, but the belief is that the
denial was indeed to suppress the truth,
because it was a reflection upon
the manner in which Guiteau
is gaurded to let him get knife. The weapon
used by Gniteau is not as has been stated, to
be cheeser, but instead of having been made
from shoe shank, was merely a piece of cor
set steel about four inches long and three
fourths of an inch wide, with a handle made
of paper wrapped with common string. 1t
has one edge quite sharp, in fact it was, as
McGill says it was, sharp as razor, as it cut
entirely through his coat and vest.

Large Grain Operations In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. l5.-The grain markets were
excited and uniformly higher to-day The
advances in prices from yesterdays closing
amounted to about 2 to 211a cents on wheat,
and to cents on COIN, and on oats 2 ce nts
The chief factors in the rise were
the unfortunate reports from the corn crop
and improved condition of the President The
latter cut less prominent figure to-day than
usual, although advices from Washington
were eagerly watched. No failures are re-
ported on Change, but two
little bucket shops suspended. One of them
resumed soon after. 1t said that the heaviest
business ever done on change was that of
this week. 1t is reported that several opera
tors who came here from Wall
street to take little flyer
in corn have netted $4,000 to 100000
each, and have pulled out. Governor Bouett,
of Colorado, is said to have bought million
bushels of corn as he passed through here yes
terday, expecting to hold it for a rise.

II has been reported that in the last opera
ton you cut for the ball. i.
That's not true. Nothing was said about
cutting for the ball. I did get all my in
struments and probes ready SO that if in the
course of the operation we should get on the
track of the ball and find it easy TO take it out,
we should be prepared to do so, but that was
only precaution and not with the intention
of cutting for the ball.
DIR. Bliss said DR.. Agnew knew of the SWELL
ing of the gland before he left, but did not
consider it of sufficient Importance to detain
him; that the swelling manifested itself last
night, and DIR. Agnew examined it.
Speaking of the criticisms of DR.. Ham
mond, of New York, DR.. Bliss said
Hammond applied twice by telegraph
to be admitted into the case, and was refused
both times, and that Hammond feels bitterly
toward Barnes because he succeeded him as
surgeon general. This accounts for Ham
mond's severe structures of the treatment of
the case.

ing to represent large New York house as agent,
called at police headquarters yesterday evening and
stated that he had been robbed of pocketbook
containing S52) in money, ard other papers repre-
ssntng $4,000 iu value. His story as given to the
chief of police is as follows: He Is stopping at the
Merchants hotel aud on Monday afternoon he start
ed out in company with Daniel Bell to see The sights
of the city. First they went TO Ovefpeck's livery
stable TO get horse and buggy, bat not teing able
to do SO they started on foot. They first visited
Kely's saloon on Third street, from thence to the
Metropolitan and then to KITTY Francis bagnio
on Hill street. The next place they called at wa,
Donovan's saloon at the head Of the stairs on Ex-
change street. BY this time Elam had become
quite mellow, and he undertook to show
the "boys" some smart eastern tricks with couple
of coins which he had Ia his pocketbook, which
also contained his money and papers, and which he
carried in an inside vest pocket. He took out the
pocketbook to ger the coins and instead OF replacing
in his vest pocket put it In the outside POCKET Of
his coat. He showed the boys the trick aud then
went to the water closet, where he missed his pock
etbook. Supposiuy 1t WAS joke at nrst he told III
boys that the joke had been ed far enough and
asked for tho return Of his property. Of course
they denied any knowledge of his pocketbook and
they in turn thought he was joking. He then re-
paired to olice headquarters accompanied by young
Bell, and told his story above related. Yesterday
the chief had all parties before him. whcn the story
was repeated. Eism declined to prosecute and thus
the matter stood up to last evening. The public
