Miss Their Men-A Midnight Episode on
Virginia Avenue.
When the smallest hour of yesterday morn.
ing was approaching, Col. l. F. A. Studdart OF
No. 9 Virginia avenue, was aroused by mem.
her of his family who asserted that somebody
was trying to get into the house. Two dogs
belonging to the family confirmed the state
ment by giving tongue to their suspicious, but
the Colonel, after viewing the grounds from a
window was about to retiae unconvinced when
he saw light flashing, as if from dark
lantern against window of the
residence of A. K. Barnum, corner
If Virginia and Summit avenues. Then he
plainly saw the form Of q man there, and, af-
ter procuring pistol and shot gun, cautious.

shoot; but, fearing the man he saw might be
policeman, he only fired the pistol in the
air When he fred a man ran away from a
a pile of lumber, and this distracted his atten-
ton from the man he had seen, in Barnum's
yard. Both the supposed thieves had disap-
peared from view when, q moment after, q
sergeant aud two or three privates Of the pc.
lice force came running to learn the cause Of
i've shooting. One of the policemen (o'Con-

lane at rear of the houses, and he, running in
dark place, fell over the PROSTATE form of
one of the thieves. AS he fell the officer

before he could use it the thief had jumped to
his feet and was running away through the
dley. O'COnncr fired two or three shots
after him, but, SO far as known, without effect,
md both the rascals got away.
If Col. Studdart hadn't been afraid the man
ne saw examining Barnum's window was
olceman, he might easily have taken sure

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE WEsInER.-Sunday night was clear
and lovely, and The comparatively mild at
mosphere which prevailed In the early eve
ming was in striking contrast 10 that OF The
previous week. The stars sbOne with a
briliiancv which was seldom N ever excel
! led in this latitude. The walking, however,
was very bad, and there were but few Pc
dcstrians on the streets. The change in
temperature gave rise 10 the hope that the
snow would soon disappear, and this hope
was strengthened bv the thawing which
! had taken place IN protected situations du-
ring the day. But the readings OF the
thermometer yesterday showed but little
Improvement In that respect During Sum
day night il fell 10 3 degrees above zero, and
AT sunrise stood 1t degrees. During the day
however, the mercury reached ~ degrees,
aud, under the same Influence which drove
the mercury up, the snow melted quite
rapidly. Early.riscrs saw on yesterday
morning Il sight rarely witnessed in this
city. The atmosphere was damp and hu-
mid, and the moisture rising fEOm the earth
was congcaled and fell in hoar frost, cover
| Ing bouSe.tOps and trees with white and
| fleecy coating which gliltered and sparkled
| in the early sunlight until each branch and
twig seemed formed OF innumcrable dia-
beautiful.
As we have said, The weather moderated
very much yesterday, and at this writing
all the indications point TO more falling
weather, whether rain or snow we are un-
able TO tell but most probably the former.
The liquid in the atmospheric barometer Is
cloudy from bottom to top; the old woman
in the figure or tension barometer has gone
into the house, and the old man comes out
TO take the consequences, be they what
they may; the wind is eaStwardly, and the
smoke has been "hugging the ground all
day. We give these "signs" for what
they are wO:th.
At Hardln's the river is frozen acrOss,
and persons walk from "shore 10 shore"

Joint Session.

A Joint meeting OF the two branches o
the Council WAS held yesterday afternoon
to elect a Police Commissioner in plfce oi
Mr.. John Endcrs-term eXDired. President
Clarke, OF the Common Council, presided
in the absence OF Judge Meredith.
The Board OF Public Interests sent in the
names Of Messrs. John Enders, S. III.
Hawes, and John X. Chidrev.
Mr.. Charles +. TAYLOR addressed the Coun.
ell in advocacy OF rotation In the Office Of
Police Commissioners, and very warmly
urged that the spirit OF the act Of Assembly
and the city ordinance govern in this case,
and that the Council carry out the intention
OF the mover OF the ordinance, which was
that there should be changes annually in the
Board. He did not make this move in any
aDtagOnism 10 Mr.. EndeTs; on the con-
trary, he was the peer OF any man in the
city, and he hoped none OF his friends would
so regard his action. He had no objection
in the world 10 Mr.. Enders, and wished he
occupied the position OF either Mr.. IIaweS
or Mr. Childrcy. He had opposed the ordi-
nInce when it was first proposed, and now
that The Council had adopted il he thought
it but right that il should be carried ont in
letter and spirit. He had thought over the
matter, and without intending in the least
TO reflect upon air. Enders he should vote
for Mr.. ChiIdrey.
Mr.. EIiysOn took the same view Of the or
dinance.
The vote was then taken and Mr.. Chill.
drey was elected.
