Yesterday afternoon the horse and sleigh
owned by Lozelle Foote was taken from in
front of Foote & Co.'s fish market on State
street, and driven rapidly away by some un-
known person. The horse and sleigh of MIR.
Spier, the coal dealer, was secured by MIR.
Foote and chase made for the thief. The
miscreant was caught in a saloon in Fair
Haven, and proved to be Timothy GERMS,
who is an old offender. He will be brought
before the City Court this morning on a
charge of 'taking team without leave"
The taking of Mr.. Foote'S team was noticed
by gentleman at Kahn's cigar store, who
thought something was wrong and went and
asked Mr. Foote. The latter on inquiring
found that no one had been authorized to
take the team, and at once drove off with a
friend in search of his team. After an IN
successful quest, he drove away again in q
hired team, and this time found the stolen
team in front of a saloon in Dublin, Fair
Haven. He went into the saloon and, asked
whose team that was outside. A man spoke
up and said it was his Mr.. Foote induced
the man to step outside and then threw him

another man to drive home to the stable
took the thief to Kahn's, where he was iden-
tilted as the man who drove off with it. Mr..
Foote then drove off and delivered the mis-
create to the police at the police station

Swift Vengeance.

The Quick Doom OF Two Murderers.
The Sag Harbor Gong Island) Erpress has
the appended article. The young man muir
dered was nephew of Mr.. James Fordham
of that city. His father, Captain Reynolds,
sails the San Francisco ship Top Gallant, and
formerly lived in Sag Harbor.
George B. Reynolds, who was murdered in
Seattle, Washington Territory on the 18th OF
January, was native of this place, and many
of our village readers will remember him as
the sprightly youth who. as a child, was
everybody's pet he being the soc of Mrs.
Harriet Reynolds, and grandson of the
late Deacon Job Hedges.
When murdered he was on his way from
his boarding house to the store of David
Alden Jennings, also of this place, in the
early evening. While thus on his way to his
place of business, he was waylaid by two
tramps, who ordered him to hold up his
hands, a custom rife in that country when
scoundrels wish to rob an honest man. In
stead of doing this, he reached for his pistol,
when one of the tramps shot him in the side,
from which wound he lived but about two
hours
Having shot him, they fed without rob-
bling him. But as the news spread, business
was suspended, all honest people formed into
a vigilance committee and the two
brought into court, their guilt was
proven in this and other cases, and the
judge remanded the prisoners to custody.
But scarcely was the decision announced
when the vigilance committee rushed in
seized the murderers, bore them to a wagon,
drove quickly to where an impromptu scat
fold had been raised, and in less than two
minutes had them suspended between heaven
and earth. Judge Green rushed to the spot
and attempted to cut them down, but he was
held by the vigilance committee and the law
of Judge Lynch allowed to have its full sway.
The committee then rushed to the Jail where
another murderer was confined, took him
out, and hung him by the side of the others.
Young Reynolds was q most exemplary
man and had many friends He went from
this place with his parents about twenty four
years ago, he then being about seven years
of age.
If the assassin Guiteau had been served
the same way, instead of being fed prince
in prison, of being allowed free scope to
his blasphemous tongue, and of being petted
by those who have less brains than patriot
ism, how much better the country would be
off to-day? But, alas the Pacific slope is
ruled by men of nerve, instead of by lot of
old fossils

fortyve mputes upon the bill as reported from the
Census committee, of which he is chairman. He said
the new method recommended by Chief Clerk seaton
of the Census Bureau had been adopted and was more
Der to New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, which
by the old system would to California Florida and
Rhode Island, and argued in favor of the bill on tn
basis of the proportion of wealth and taxes paid by
each State.
Mr.. Robinson, of Massachusetts,, said when he ex-
amined the result of the two systems and found that
by the new Florida California and Rhode Island must
give up member each to Illinois, New York and
Pennsylvania he began to suspect that the proposed
new method was not a just one. He argued that by
the method each representative in New York
represented goo when allotted to Rhode Island
represented 276 900. He favored the old system of
appottionment without change in the entire num-
Der.
Mr.. Mills. of Texas, denounced the so-called new

and an outrage the people of the States affected.
His remarks were warmly applauded.

the apportionment and fixing the number of repre-
sentatves t321. He criticised the argument of Mr..
Prescott that the wealth of New York should be quoted
when the question of representation is being consid
cred (applause).
Mr.. Chace of Rhode Island, also spoke against the
new method.

The Star Route Cases-A Tariff Commits
sion to be Recommendations Mat
tiers.
WASHINGTON, Feb THE Star route
cases were called up in the police court at
1:3O p. m. Colonel Cook represented the
government. The prosecution produced in
court 25, 900 papers, filling four large clothes
baskets. Mr.. Wilson said he proposed to
show by these papers that other contractors
had pursued the same practices as Cabell,
who was in fact following in the beaten path.
He submitted that there was no intent't to de-
fraud. Mr.. Cook objected to offering all the
$4,000 papers, and argued against their adj
mission. Colonel Totten, for the defense,
held that the papers were admissible as evil
dence. The court excluded the papers on
the ground that they were not competent
evidence. At 2:40 court adjourned until
Thursday, when final arguments in the case
will be presented. 1t is generally conceded,
even by the defense, that the case will be
sent to the grand jury.
The grand jury to-day continued the ex-
animation into the cases of Albert E. Boone

Ryan's BaclSer Greatly Disappointed.
New YORK, Feb. NO prize fight in re-
cent years has awakened such keen interest
as did the contest which took place to-day in
Mississippi It is estimated that in this city
100000 changed hands on the result. The
betting on the whole was even Early this
morning crowds thronged the newspaper
offices and gazed at the bulletin board. A
number of sporting men assembled at the
Office of Ryan's hacker. The result of the
fight was not known there till three o'clock.
Most of them had money wagered on the re-
suit and as Ryan was the favorite a feeling of
detection was felt when the defeat of Ryan
was announced. His hacker said ''The re-
suit is a serious disappointment to me as I
felt certain he would win. Before the match
was made was willing to back him for $40,
900, but Sullivan's friends could not raise
the money. 1 have lost the stake money,
also bet of 81, 900 and other small bets I
| am about 81, 900 out of pocket. I don't re-
greet this loss as much as I do the losses of
many of my friends. We are all satisfied
that it was fair battle and was decided on
its merits. I have not lost confidence in
Ryan's powers. On the contrary have tele-
graphed him if he was willing to meet SuIli-
van again 1 would back him for S. ,oOO." At
the various sporting resorts tonight nothing
was talked of except the fight.
