JEwELRY ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Failure Of q Window Smashing Scheme Il
PhiladClDllia.

Failure of q Window Smashing Scheme In
Philadelphia.
The third jewelry store window-smash-
ing robbery in Philadelphia within a
month occurred last evening, but resulted
less successfully than the two previous
attempts, the thieves being arrested and
most of their plumber recovered. About
seven o'clock last night. three men,
who had been seen lowering about
Samuel Aicher's jewelry store, 1926 North
Second street, close by Girard avenue, sud-
denly clustered closely in front tl the
bulk window. Cne of them sma,:,ed in
the window with a stone or mal!et, and
while another held the door-knnb the fel-
low who had driven in the window pane
and an accomplice thrust their arms
through the aperture in tho glass, and
sweeping together all the jewelry
conveniently within reach, dashed
off up the street. The third man
let go of the knob and ran, too, the men
attempting to run in opposite directions.
MIR. Aicher ran out and gave the alarm.
A citizen who had seen the exploit respond
helped to clean out the window. Eighteenth
District Policeman Young also joined in
the pursuit. The fugitive drew a pistol
and brought the citizen and the policeman
to standstill, and escaped. Tenth
District Policeman Rusk and Po-
liceman Young then chased the
two other men succeeded in running
them down. The prisoners were taken to
the Tenth district police station, where
they gave their names as Henry Jones and
Charles Drexel, both of which are believ-
ed to be assumed. Most of the jewelry
was thrown away in the flight and recov-
cred. They were to have hearing at the
central station this morning. An effort
will be made to connect them with the re-
cent robberies on Eleventh street and
South street.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A CAMPAIGN BARD GONE.

Death of the buckeye Blacksmith.
John W. Bear, political stump speaker
and singer, who has been famous for forty
years past as the g Buckeye Blacksmith
died suddenly while sitting in a chair at
his home, 1923 South Goth street, Philadel-
phia, on Wednesday morning about half
past ninO o'clock. Bear first gained the
celebrity which clung to him afterwards
in the great Harrison hard cider presiden-
tial campaign of 1910, when the name OF
the hero Of the Indian battles was en-
blazoned by the log cabin clubs and her
aided in their campaign song Of " Tippe-
canoe and Tyler too" Rear, who was
then 4 worker at the forge, appear
ed at a political meeting in Ohio and
sang with lusty, stenrorian vigOr the we'll
known lines of the ditty. The Wings per-
ceived ut once the popular Juror his ap-
pearance created and induced him to con-
tinue his speech making and singing
through the contest. His fund of spicy
anecdotes was inexhaustible and kept
audiences in 4 good humOr. He travelled
all over the United States, and in every
subsequent presidential contest ho reap
peared. He was 4 rabid abOlitiOnist and
radical, and during the war imprOvised
many Union songs. He was especially
POpuisSA i ltICOiu . COutC0S
in 1860, and made radical speeches in all
the subsequent presidential campaigns.
including the one recently closed, during
which he made speeches in this city
and at various places in the cOun-
ty. Being 80 years Of age he had, OF
course. lost much Of the spirit and fire that
made him popular forty years ago.
Bear first became well known in Lancas-
ter in 1916, when he came here to engage
in the daguerreOtype business. At that
time C. NJ. Johnston, known as the ' Dru-
more Shoemaker. was engaged in the
same business. The men were violent pO-
litical enemies and had abused each other
without stint in their stump speeches, but
after running separate places Of business
for a short time, they resolved to unite
their establishments, and adopted the
novel mode Of advertising their business
by "belling the town and haranguing the
people ut the street corners. They did a
large business during their partnership
which lasted for some time. They then
travelled the country in various districts,
setting up their cameras in many towns
and villages. Bear finally settled in Phil
adelphia, where he died as above stated.

Why Brilliant Han Lost the GoIdon OPP
pOrtunity.
Louisville COurier-Journal.
Hon. Milton Sayler, of Cincinnati, was,
when he was a member of Congress, by
no means IN average congressman. He
was very far above the average. Around
the cradle Of this spoilt child of nature all
the fairies assembled; not a sprite was
absent; one gave him intellect, another
beauty, third gracefalness and 50 OF to
the end. There never appeared in the
House of Representatives a more pleasing
figure. In all points he was the floors best
man ; as genial and gentlemanlike as Gar
field. with a little moro dash and little
more discretion as ready and intelligent
as Sam Cox; as manly as Joe Blackburn
as sensible and level-hcated as Michael
Kerr and, though not as aggressive a
fighter as Sam Randall, nor as industri-
Gus worker as Conger, Hale and
kasson, still SO quick, so bright, so
genuine as to be able to hold his own
when he was not prepared-and to beat
the best Of them, when he was. When, in
1875, Sam Cox quilted the speakership to
go on what he must himselfnOv feel was q
FOOLS errand to St. Louis, Milton Sayler
was made speaker pro tem., and, but for
the indiscretion directly traceable to this
current scandal, he would DO the speaker
of the House to-day. The woman in the
case cost him his career. It is perfectly
understood in Washington society that he |
has been, from the first, the victim, and |
that, as to the main points in the affair,
there is in truth and honor no case against |
him. He was, and still is, handsome
bachlor. He was weak, yielding crea-
ture she importunato and strong and he
fell,
From morn to noon, from noon to dewy eve,

needless of the maxim which man less
,i.ted might have needed. In the end, If
here is an end, it will turn out that he has
,cen generous and waverins.

STABBED At A DANCE.
Jealousy Induces One Virginia Youth to

Jealousy 1nuOce0 On0 virginia Youth to
Kill Another.
At a society party in Ashe county, Va,
James Gentry and Dory Dickson attended
the gathering, and Gentry made himself
rather more agreeable to one of the young
ladies present than was pleasant to Dick
son, who made some offensive remark be-
fore her. He was instantly called ourside
of the house by the offended youth and
taken to task for his impertinence. Hot
words followed, and several of the ladies
approached near enough to hear the
talking, and from what could be gathered
it seems that Gentry was endeayoring to
show his companion how contemplate his
course has been and how little cause he
had to be jealous Of the young lady's at
tentiOns Dickson. who had imbibed free
ly Of liquor, would not be appeased ard
drawing a long dirk-knife drove it into the
side of Gentry several times. He was
found later, lying upon the snow, dead,
with half dozen deep wounds in his
chest and side. The murderer fed after
the perpetration of the deed, but was
afterward captured and committed to Jail.
The men were highly connected and each
was about twenty years Of age.

The Press calmly says that if all the
Republicans "who entered the caucus
accept its action, it would take but a
few Democrats to make an actual ma
jority of the Legislature and they could
probably be secured" How secured It
would be interesting to know the pro-
cess by which enough Democrats may
be secured to elect the nominee of the
Republican machine. Simon Cameron
bought three Democrats once but that
process would hardly be hopeful to secure
thirty.

A Republican View of Thaddeus stevens
Times

Pittsburgh Times.
Thaddeus Stevens, to whom We alluded
yesterday as beset by foible, was perhaps
as open to criticism as any public man Of
his time. II he had begun to figure on the
national stage earlier in life, he would
have been brought into frequent contact
with his intellectual equals, and
he might thus have been delivered from
some of his weaknesses. But he was an old
man and incurable when he was first sent to
Congress, whero circumstances and the
conditions of the time made him
a leader whose will was scarcely
questioned. He did less mischief
upon the whole than might have been
expected. A man of powerful intellect
thoroughly disciplined in so far as legal
practice could discipline it, he knew
nothing of history, for which, indeed, he
cherished utter contempt. In fact, out
side Of his profession. he had little posi-
tive knowledge Of any kind, and he prob
ably never in his life for a moment sus.
pected his deficiency or thought that he

A Naval Engagement.

A brief naval engagement between
two Of the mosquito fleet of this port
took place off the harbor last Thursday
morning. The crafts engaged were the
tugs G.. w. Cuyler and Eva English. The
result was not very sanguinary, more
wind than blood being wasted. The two
tugs had run out after the schooner
Ellen Spry. The Eva got along side of
the vessel first but the captain of the
Spry said he was afraid she was not
large enough to tow him in safely, and
that he would prefer the Cuyler. Capt.
MOsier assured him of his ability to
handle him all right and while they
were discussing the matter the Cuyler
threw her heaving line to the vessel for
the purpose of getting her tow line but
drifted away before the tow line was Sc
cured and the line was passed to the
Eva English. This seemed to arouse the
ire of Captain Brown, of the Cuyler and
he came on to the Eva with his tug strik-
ing her in the stern with the bow Of the
Cuyler and tried to shove her out of her
course, but failed to do so. Capt. MOsier
says that the Cuyler made run around
the stem of the Spry and came at him
ships and threatening to sink her. In
the contest the Cuyler worked around
until she got under the bow of the
schooner and in danger of being dam
aged, when Capt Brown, with revolver
in one hand and an akin the other jump
ed on the Eva and cut the tow line with
the ak. Considerable shooting was done
with their mouths, but the brOadsides
did little damage. The Eva brought the
vessel in port. We understand the en-
gagement will be renewed in the courts
and the whole matter fully Investigated
when the right and wrong of the case
will be clearly shown.
