The washington Light Guard.

The first meeting of the Washington Light Guard
since their removal from Capitol Hill took place
last evening at their new armory, corner Of Sixth
and G streets northwest Post Office Block. New
applications for membership were received and q
general public meeting determined upon for next
Saturday evening at some centrally located hall
to organize auxiliary committees for the coming
fair at Masonic Hail. The corporation of the city
press will be requested 10 make the meeting a sue
cess, and steps will be taken to secure the attend
and active assistance of ladies In the various
parts ofthe city who can be reached before the meet
ing. Assurance was given on behalf OF Il number
of merchants that they intend to make substantial
contributions, and In view of the task imposed
upon the individual members by the fair work on
hand II was resolved to give no hop during the
present month. Captain Robertson, an honorary
member of the company, was authorized to pub
fish the Fair journal during the progress Of the
fair. There is every prospect now that this COM
pany will rapidly march to the front rank of pop
ular organizations in the District and every pos
sible encouragement should be extended to It. 1t
is gratifying to see the success of its fair almost
assured beforehand but this should rather slimu-
late the liberal and public portion of our
community TO help toward making II one of the
largest and most creditabe affairs of the kind
held In the District,

UNEXPECTED RonpERrEs.


Cases which Have 1leen Detected by "The
Republican" Not through the Police.
While Washington is singularly free from serious
crimes, the number of petty l1rcenies and bur
glaries committed almost daily is becoming mat
TOR Of serious alarm to householder. The fault
lies not with the police force, but to the fact that
the force is far too small TO do their work properly
Washington covers such an immense area of
ground, and the guardians Of tho peace are 80 few
In number, that null scope Is given to the criminal
classes TO ply their nefarlous vocation. The deec-
tive force under command Of Lieutenant Eckloh
are as fine and intelligent n body of gentlemen
as can be found In any city. still they think II
necessary TO keep silence about burglarios, aud,
while The REPUBLICAN may hold It's own opinion
about the wisdom Of that course, TO overcome
their Teticense the police reporters on this able
Journal have ~ do ut times their own detective
work. Two cases were uncarlhed last night On
Christmas eve, between six and seven o'clock,
Mr.. ], l.. Edwards, of 1905 street northwest,
found that sneak thief had entered his residence
through the back parlor windows aud carried off q
couple of valuable overcouts. In one of the
coats was n few~4ollars In money and bank book.
The book was returned to the bank few days
afterward by coored boy, who sadhe had found
IT,. Mr.. Edwards is unfortunate, having been
robbed twice already Now for case number two.
few days previous to Mr. Edwards robbery the
house Of Mr. Mercer, corner Of Twenty first and !
streets northwest. The thief or thieves entered
the house during the night and raided the owners
of several dresses and wearing apparel. They left
