Caught in The Act.

4 colored pickpocket, giving his name
as Richard Clark, was caught while plying his
calling in the lobby of the city posoffice yester-
day afternoon. Mr.W. a. Mccoy, one of the night
delivery clerks, noticed Clark with his hand in a.
ladys pocket, and Immediately seized him. The
rascal broke away, and ran down Louisiana
avenue, pursued by Mr.. Mccoy and several other
parties. He sought refuge in the Metropolitan
Hotel, but was overtaken and turned over to a
policeman, who locked him al the Seventh Pre-
cinct Station. Much credit is due Mr. Mccoy for
his promptness in grabbing the fellow, and Post
master Anger is to be congratulated for having
such an efficient capgOue about the post Office

CHEF CRONIN'S CASE.
The Fire Commissioners Consider Et-A
Formal Apology TO be Made.

The Fire Comm lSS5OiiPrS Consider Ef-A
Formal Apology TO be Made.
When the three members of the Board
of Fire Commissioners assembled at the District
buildings last evening, which was later than
usual, the uppermost thought i'll the minds of the
little group of people who had been awaiting their
arrival the probable action of the board in the
case of the charges preferred by Commissioner
Morgan against Chief Engineer Cronin. Nothing
however, was said. The three commissioners took
the seats at the big table in the board room and
proceeded at once to The examination of the papers
before them.
THE CHIEF ENGINEER
was there, but said nothing about the case The
three commissioners, it was evident, had talked
the matter over privately and decided on what
course they should pursue. An exaggerated re-
port current That they would sustain the chief
engineer and hurl down gauntlet of defiance at
the feet of the District Commissioners, so their
action in the matter was waited for with some in
tereS by the reporters After considerable routine
business had been disposed of, Commissioner
Bacon, taking up paper before him, said slowly:
81 have a communication from the District Com
missioners."
THE COMPLAINT.
He unfolded the paper and read the following
letter, which was signed by DR.. Tindal, secretary
to the District Commissioners:
GENTLEMEN: a charge having been made to this
board by commissioner Morgan of incvility and in
Suhordinatop toward him the part of Chief En-
gneer Martin Cronin, Of the fire department at the
Heinrich brewery fire, on Sunday morning. the LIST in
slant, and admitted by said Cronin. the Commission
have decided that the discipline and amenities of
the service demand apology from the chief en-
sineer for his conduct on said occasion to Commits
soner Morgan, and direct to ask that you require
from him and forward to this office such an apology
as pronounced and public as the affront and warn
him that repetition of the offense will subject him
TO serious consequences am further directed to re-
quest that you will please instruct him that his au-
thority At fires and elsewhere is at all times subord
nate to the orders of the District Commissioners or
either of them, and make all letters and action in
connection with this communication matters of
record.
THE ACTION OF THE BOARD.
There was slight pause after the reading: then
Commissioner Reed said There is but one thing
that see to be done, and that is for the Chief En-
gineer to make the apology as requested, and 1
move that the letter be referred to the President
with instructions to see that the apology is made
The motion was carried without further debate.
and the matter thus settled faras the fire board
is concerned The chief. accordingly, will be
required to-day to write a formal apology for the
offensive language which he addressed to Major
Morgan. After the adjournment of the board the
matter was discussed quite freely by the members,
all of whom sustained the statement that the Chief
Engineer is by law in sole command al a fire.

THE RECEPTION

was most fitting ending of the notable events of
the day. From five to seven the parloTs were filed
with prominent people in social literary scientific,
and other select circles Of Washington. President
and Mrs Gallaudet, assisted by the daughter of
Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, received the guests
and two young lady daughters of the host con-
tributed much TO the social enjoyment Ofthesc,
the elder was a debutant of last winter and the
younger has just graduated with high honor at
Hartford. An elegant collation. was served, in
Guiding lemonade and delicious coffee but neither
wine nor punch. The iateness OF the hour forbids
individual mention of the guests, but they COM
prised many TO whom time and life are of too much
significance in science and other high callings to
mingle in the throng at ordinary assemblages.
The yernal beauty Of Kendall Green, the
site of the college added much to the attractveness
of the day, did also the floral tributes to the
graduates, the floral decorations of the chapel, and
the pictures and buSts on the walls. Notable
among these was fine likeness of Thomas Fl. Gal
laudet, the father of the president which was un-
yelled for the first time last Sunday and is be-
nignant and powerful face.

WHAT GOES WITH THE MoNEY.-In
Prof. Comstock's report Of his inyesti-
g~atioDs as to the ravages IF the cotton
worm, we find some c~urisus statements.
For instance, there are large areas OF
Texas in which IS per cent, or more
than one third, of the cotton crop il
destroyed by the pestiterous little car
petbagger. The average loss by the
whole State j. y per cent. and It is es-
timated that Texas he's lost los. lbs
bales each year during the past -
years, by the cotton worm. Louisiana
loses one fifth OF her crop. ar 50, e0g
bales, a year. South Carolina and Ter
nessee lose only about ; per cent from
this cause.
A, for North Carolina, Prof. Com
stock remarks-''It is a question if the
injury is not more than compensated in
the benefit derived from tie stripping
of the leave. where the vegetation i
