SAT- e MASHED
BY Bad Burglars, and RatcliT Co. Lose
ever $1,000.

The fact that this town is being work.
ed by a gang OF thieves has become
more and more apparent every day. IL
is either a petty larceny, an attempt to
burglarize or grand capture OF goods,
that the press is almost every morning
called upon to record.
The latest is the successful attempt on
the general store OF ID. L. RstclifF q Co.,
corner OF Thirty.sixth and Chapline
street, by which over a 81 900 went into
strange hands. The circumst lnces OF
the case are as follows: Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Louis Hoelsche, one OF the
firm, opened the store as usual; going
back into the counting room, he was
surprised to see the sale wide open and
.he books lying scattered about on bolts
of cloth that had been placed on the
floor. Mr.. Hoelsche Immediately saw
what had taken place and notified the
police. m
The burglars mad used "jimmy" ex.
tensively, having pried open the shut
tiers aud broken the window, thus gain
ing admission. The safe is an old one,
fully twenty five years OF age, and is
MlldI Is kHON ttlC ~
safe. The outer doors are held together
bv a locked clasp, which was prize and
wrenched off. Then the door OF the
money chest was attacked by the drill.
They drilled right into the key hole and
then through the tumblers OF the lock.
What they did then is not known. Two
theories are advanced. One is, that gun
was used to blow the doer out; another
that the lock was so damaged by thu
drill and a steel rod that the bolts coull
be slid back. One or two living in the
vicinity claim to have heard, about half
past two. a mufiled explosion, whi:h
leads 10 the theory that gun cotton WIS
employed.
Having opened things up they pro.
'ceeded to take what the firm hal taken
in Saturday, amounting to over $500.
In addition 10 that there was 1925 be-
longing to other parties who thought
their money safely slowed away. Two
gold watches were also taken and all the
papers scattered on the floor.
The gang, it is thought, is the one that
has been working on the Elm Grove
safe and one or two others.
Another chance is now ffered our de.
tective force to cover itself with glory.

INDIAN RELICS
Unsarthed ct AoundsvilIs.

Just this side OF Moundsville there is
a fine bottom land farm owned by Mr..
Samuel Tomlinson. In one OF the fields
has stood as long as the memory OF
man runneth, n mound about thirty
feet long; originally ii was about nine
feet high, but the numerous pIowings
aud borrowings it has received has re-.
duced il TO about four feet in height.
A few days ago Mr.. Tomlinsnn struck
O rock and IL occurred 10 him. that this
same rock he had struck the year he.

order, and the bottom vas
composed OF about 100 Hint arrow
heads, laid overlapping eaci other like
shingles, and covering one-hslf Of the
bottom, or the part on which laid the
bones OF two bodies. The skeletons
were very likely those Of Indians. They
were lying face down~ard-, one on top
OF the other. and their reads 10 the west.
Some OF the smaller bones crumbled 10
dust as soon a. exposed 10 the air.
The greatest curiosity, however, was

skeletons. The bowl was OF some stone
resembling marble polished to q wonder.

OF the b and o. Gone Over Again by
the Committee.
The Com nittee OF the City Council
on Railroads, has had several questions
put to it Of lat- regarding the proposed
through line ri the b aud q road, tun
mel, cuts, etc, as relates to the grades;
that il found I,seli not ready to satjsiac-
torily answer. and for that purpose pro-
pose taking another trip over the route.
Yesterday was set as the time, and the
following party started from the
city building Ia the after
noon: Messrs, Iaughlin, Hall, Me.
Adams, Haber.ield and SchOckey of the
committee, Col. Randolph, the Compa.
ny's Chief Engineer, with maps and
elevations and genial gentleman from
Maryland named Col. Boyd, who is a
big contractor on the Il. x D.
The first point visited was the Central
Glass Works, where, much to the sur
prise and satisfaction of the committee,
this company withdrew their objections
as soon as they learned that the track at
that point would remain the same and
a strong and expensive stone wall
put up TO keep McCollcch street from
slipping down. A visit was then paid
Nineteenth street to see about the much
TAXED of cuts. II Nineteenth street be-
tween Wood and Jacob be cut down
feet the grade at the gas works will
have to be raised one foot, hut il at the
point mentioned il be cut five feet the
grade at the gas works will be the same.
At the end OF Chapline street filling of
three feet will be necessary for a bridge
/ approach, but il will not interfere with
general traffic.
From that point the Iolte OF the pro.
posed tunnel is known. The commit.
tee went ever the route and informed
itself thoroughly on several points. The
lots IN south and East Wheeling thar
have been spoken of for the route.

CRIMES OF NORMANDY.


First Presentation at the Opera House
We are afraid the Lyric Opera Com
pany has had rather too much praise
and was just little spoiled, last night,
by previous hattery. There was good
house and a sympathetic one, offering
everything in the way OF inspiration,
but the opera fell short of the first pre-.
sentatiOn. The RpGIsTER, with other
papers have bestowed unlimited praise
both because it was deserved and be
cause OF the encouragement, and per-
haps il was overdone. Something was
off color, last night. In many
cases the chorus was careless aud behind
coming in two or three beats late. One
or two of the soloists also failed to DC
