ssEHIEs OF BURGLARIEs.
Thieves with Fapeies for aiseeiIaueous
Articles.

In view of q number Of recent burglarieS
in the city, il has been frequently suggest
ed that perhaps the late teachings at the
Academy of Music have borne fruit. Mr..
Brooks, the lock man, showed in detail
how Yale lock might be opened with
toothpickS, ordinary locks with wire and
nails and how jimmies were used by burg
lars. He had plenty Of auditors and per-
haps some of them have protEed by his in
formation. Certain it is that an unusual
number OF burglarics has OF late been COM
mItted.
Sometime yesterday morning, before
dawn, the shoe store OF Canadian & Nu-
yum. No. III Sixteenth street, was broken
into and robbed. 4 jimmy was used TO force
the door and the work was that of non-pro-
fessional, as is evidenced by its clumsipess.
The thieves, too, were evidently familiar
with the premises, for they went directly
to where the finest goods were kept and
helped themselves to the best boots and
shoes in considerable number. Officer
Bird passed the store at . o'clock and every
thing was as usual so the burglary must
have been committed before that hour. Mr..
Csrnahsn slept in the second story, but was
not awakened by the unceremonious visit.
No clue is at present had TO the thieves.
Early Saturday morning, thieves broke
into the general store of George Richie.
corner of Main and Twenty-third streets.
and succeeded in helping themselves and
escaping undecided. A powerful jimmy
was the instrument used in forcing the
door. Mr. Richie keeps his money in
spool cases and at night removes it up
stairs, so that only some SIS in small
change was missing. A part of caddy of
tobacco, about 500 cigars and lot of no
tons and trinkets are missing, and further
time will probably discover other losses.
Again no clue to the burglars.
A number of boys broke into Schenck's
stable, early Saturday morning, but were
frightened away by the approach OF one Of
Mr.. Schenck's sons.
A bucket OF oysters was carried away
from Tom Weitzell's grocery. on Friday
night, by 3 sneak thief.
On Saturday morning thieves broke into
the store room OF d. L. Ratcliff & Co, cor
ner Jacob and Thirty-sixth streets, by
prying open the front door. So far as
could be learned, half dozen silk hand
kerchiefS was all they took.
During Friday night some villain goi
into the rear door of st. Mary's Church, in
the Eighth ward, and stole the csntribu-
ton box. How much il contained is not
known. 4 contemplate thief is the man
who would rob church.

TO-NIGHT's MEETING
of Those Interested IN Perfeciins the
CITY Government.

To-day the sub committee on legislation
will again wander into the maZes of the city
charter. exploring for insutiiCiencieS; and
tonight the general committee Will meet.
This committee will consist OF the seven
CounCilmen. the Mayor and Solicitor, the
three Commissioners and the nine gentle
men appointed at the Academy ot Music
citizens meeting, making committee OF
twenty-seyen members all told.
At the meeting there will, IN all likeli-
hood. be general breeze. There are sew
eral Councilmen who regard the citizens
meeting as a sDUb, and an invasion of their
rights upon which their heels must be set.
They believe that il any portion OF the city
government needs change, or if any citi'
zen. or any number OF citizens are diSSatis'
led, to Council direct should their anpesl
be made. And this feeling will probably
find expression tonight.
On Friday night, in Council. when Nr.
Hildreth proposed adding the citizens
committee to the Council committee, it
was like finging a firebrsnd into
powder magazine. The idea seemed to
prevail among those who opposed the mo-
ton. took two forms. One was that it was
beneath the dignity OF Council to request
the committee 10 come to it. Ii was the
mountain, to use Mr.. kimberly'S meta
phor. and if Mahomet wanted the two to
meet he must go TO the mountain. The
other was belief in the present system OF
government. 1t is regarded As an effort to
revolutionize the city government, and
these opposers prefer TO brave present ills
to flying to others that they know not of.
There are still other members who be-
iieve IN the sovereign rights of the people
that Council is the creature of the people;
that the voice of the people is the voice OF
God They will probably oppose the anti
reYolutionists. whether in Council or in
committee. As the Citizens Committee is
likely TO fight its own battles. there will,
no doubt. he lively time. No work will
be done 1t will be all talk A plan OF
such magnitude will require several meet
ings and much subcommittee work before
il can be properly completed.

house contained over 100 pots, valued at
over $50 each, but they escaped harm.

PERFECTLY SAVE.
No smallpex in wheeling. and no
Present Danger or Any.


In circulating, yesterday and Saturday,
among the members OF the Legislature,
RKGISrER scribe was surprised to and dis,
tinctly defined though scarcely expressed
fear of smallpox quite prevalent among
them; and, worse than that, further fear
that they wero being deceived in the mat
ter and true knowledge OF the case kept
from them. IL seems thst some misiniorm-
or wilfully wrong papers have been circu-
lating the statement that information CON
corning this dread disease in Wheeling has
been suppressed, and this has come 10 the
ears of Legislators.
The REGIsTER accordingly has this TO say:
There is absolutely not one case OF small
pox in the city of Wheeling. The word OF
Or. Reeves, Executive Officer OF the state
Board of Health, and of DR.. Edwards. City
Health Officer is pledged 10 the truth OF
this statement Further, the REGISTER al
WAYS has, and always will be the hrSt TO
give the word of warning, and will PUBLISH
the fullest information concerning any case
of small pox that may develop in the CITY,
Though not an alarmist, II Will, as It's duty
plainly is, announce the first appearance IN
our midst of the small pox. Members may
rest assured of this fact.
There is, as has already been announced,
case on the river road above the city, but
il is now under the full control OF the local
health board. is quarantined and spread
of the contagion prevented. But in the
city there is positively no small pox.
There was proposition floating about
Yesterday, TO adjourn To White Sulphur
Springs, on which the REGISTER has anoth-
er word 10 say. There is no more health
full city in the country than Wheeling, and
none in which any contagious disease is
less liable 10 spread. The State and city
health laws are in full operation, and are
considered models in their line. II the
! Ohio and Pennsylvania cities now being
scourued, had such laws they would have
been spared the intictiOn. Ii the small
pox does come here. which is highly im-
probable, not only viii an early alarm be
! sounded, but the best medical skill Will be
/ ct hand 10 check its progress.
Therefore the members may dismiss any
/ fears Of smallpox, and sleep i'll fu i Securi-
| ". Thanks TO our new State law, the local
! health boards are fully armed and equip
I ned To meet and battle with the peStilencc,
| and The State is we'll guarded. Even now.
