Thief III the 1loulll, Performing q
Neat Dental Operation.
at nbout o'clock yesterday morning q burg
lar deliberately broke paue OF glass In the
front door OF +. j. Poolc's dry-goods store, No,
459 Madison street, with the purpose of after
wards entering the store and carrying or lnree
and select quantity OF goods. AS usual with
burglars in working jobs of this kind, the
window was smashed when no one appeared to
be within sight or hearing, but to make sure Of
his safety the burglar raa ut On ce to a billing
place, and remained there until some minutes
lapsed. Then, feeling sure that no one had
been ALARMED by the crash of tho
brokon glass, he returned to the window, and,
preparatory to entering, picked the broken
pieces of glass out Of the frame. All tho while
Edward N. Bagicy, young clerk in the employ
Of Mr.. Poole, who sleeps in the of tho store,
and who had been awakened by the noise, was
lying in wait for him. and Just Us he was about
to enter Bagley let drive at him with a g.
calibre revolver, which he is in the
habit of keeping beside: him ready for use.
The burglar fell back with groan, and, with
the assistance Of 4 companion, was seen to run
acruss the street, aud thence west to Loomis
street. Bagley Was ccrtnin Ut having hit bis man,
HIS he took deliberate ain, and had a full view of
him as he entered the broken window. He
dressed hastily, and Tired several more shots into
the pavement just outside the store BY way Of
attracting tho attention Of the police, but no
one answered. Subsequently he seurchcd In
trnnt Of the store with q light nnd found two
teeth and small piece Of jawbone. These would
indicate that the bullet struck tho burglar iu tho
cheek, and ..lanclug upon the jnwbone entered
either the b,se of lbe brain OF the neck. The
trail of blood from the sture front was followed
to the American Insurance Cosnpany's Building
ut the corner Of LOOMS street. The wounded
burglar fell exhausted there, and must have
remained 0p the corner nearly half an
hour. The >watchman in the office saw
him and his companions, but for some
reason. or other Suvo no a!,srm, and
in fact appcarod to think nothing of the matter
until closely questioned BY tho police during tho
day. Frnm this point tho police we're nble to :.
trace in daylight the footprints of the wounded
man and his companion south to Monroe street,
and thence diagonAily through Jefferson Park
to the corner of Adams and Jefferson streets. 4
pool Of blood in the park Indicated that the
wound WAS Of a severe nature, and thAt the
recipient was obliged 10 take frequent rests.

FOR their comprehension observed the strictest
setTcsy about the affair, and it WAS the general
belief yesterday that they had captured the COM

him beyond all doubt Such Was not the case,
however. It is known to certainty that the I
wounded man is Nicholas Roach. a notori- |

THE c0NKLING COMEDY BECOMES A CoNK-
LING TRAGEDY.

ALBANY, May lS.-Thrty five members of the
Assembly, including Speaker Sharpe, met last
night in the rooms Of the Republican general
committee The utmost secrecy was maintained
rs to the proceedings. The 1880 Republican
committee adopted resolutions endorsing the
action of Garfield and Robcrtson's nomination.
The Administration Members Of the Legisla-
ture are unit in their determination to vote
for no man rs Senator who is not known to be
in cordial sympathy with the Administration,
and they will under no circumstances vote for
any man who has antagonirei President Gar
field, or has avowed his purpose to do SO.
The following are the resolutions of the Re-
publican general committee Of Albany County.

Ing to force the Senate Of the United States to
approve the nomination Of VIM. II. Robertson
to be collector of the port Of New York when
no vacancy exists in said Office, and without
other cause than to pay personal political OBJ
fgation, which obligation was created through
the treachery Of said nominee to the regular
Republican organization in the State and that
, we earnestly and confidently express the hope
that the Legislature of the State of New York will
promptly stamp its condemnation upon the net
byre-electing Senators Conkling and Platt to the
positions they have felt called upon to resign in
the Senate.
New YORK, May 1S.-The EUening Posts Al

ture says: 1.-TWO papers are in circulation to-
day for signatures. The first paper in general
terms agrees to stand by the President. The
second commits the siguers not to vote for Conk-
iiug Platt or any other candidate who will act
In opposition to the President The papers are
now receiving signatures. It is asserted that
they will receive about fifty Names This after
noon petitions, letters and dispatches by tho
carload are coming in protesting against the re-
election OF the ex-Senators.'
It is pretty we'll settled that the Senate will
not agree to 60 into an election to fill the vacan-
cies in the United States Senate.
Only twenty-seven names are necessary to de-

Is said that over forty names have already been
secured for the anti i-Conkling pledge.
