Last night burglar made an at
tempt to rob the house of Edgar M.
Hopes and Henry G. Conrad, ESD, No.

Mrs. Montgomery, and her daughter
had been out, and when they returned
about $50 o'clock, they lighted the
gss In the hallway and retired to theil
rooms on the third floor. In a little
while they heard some one come in and
pass up stairs to Mr.. Hopes room on
The second floor not knowing who il
was, she called but did not receive any
answer, and when the Rev.T. A. H. o.
Brien, who boards in the house, came
in few minutes later, she Informed
him of the occurrence A search was
made. and while it was yet in progress
Mr.. Hopes came in.
When told that theparty were search
ing for burglar he laughed at their
fears, and said they were mistaken.
After few minutes spent in conversa-
ton, they each retired to their rooms
and Mr.. Hopes removed his heavy
gold watch and chain from his pocket
and laid it on the bureau. When he
had disrobed, he hung his clothes in a
large closet and was about to get in bed
when he thought that he heard a noise
in the bath room, and taking his revol.
yer in hand he proceeded to investigate.
Upon looking out the window toward
the window of his room, he saw the
shadow of a man upon the wall, and
hurrying back his own room he
reached it just in time to seea man
making his escape out the back window
with his gold watch and chain.
He immediately fired at the retreating
form, but missed him, and the bullet
buried itself in the window jamb. lie
fastened to the window and saw the
man upon the roof of the rear building,
about to jump down when he fired
again, and the fellow let himself droI
to the pavement, IL distance OF fifteen
feet.
AS soon az possible Mr.. Hopes went
down in the yard and made a thorough
search, but was unable to find the in
truder. The police, with Sergeants
Mcconnell and Blackburn, searched
the surrounding premises but the burg
lar had made good his escape. The
watch, with portion of the chain, was
found on the roof, where it was dropped
by the thiet in his hasty flight. The
remainder of the chain was found hang
ing on projection on the window jamb
in which a X. of Z. charm had caught
and broke the chain. The only article
missed is an overcoat, which it is sup
posed the thief put on. 1t is though
That he must have been concealed in The
closet when Mr.. Hopes undressed.

SPECIAL MEETING.
Citizens Invited to Inspect the
ChaIlber-Viewing tho Grades Of
Rtra0fa


Pursuant to adjournment, a spe-
cial meeting of City Council was held
on Saturday afternoon at + O'Clock, at
which Mr.. Garrett, in the absence OF
President Conrad, presided. Mr.. john
son said he believed that there was IA
general desire on the part of the citi-
zens to inspect the new Council cham
her, and moved that it be lighted up on
Tuesday evening from 7 1870 O'Clock,
to give every one an opportunity of ex-
amining it. The motion was unani-
mously adopted.
Council then proceeded to Fourth and
Franklin streets to view the grade
which was established by ordinance
several years ago, but which it is now
desirable to change. A short time ago
Daniel H. Kent built three houses, and
and as they are built to conform with
the existing grade, the Chief Engineer
proposed "a plan that would not inter
fere with them. This consste | of a
sight raise from Fourth street to the
houses, and then sharp ascent in front
of the buildings. After some discus.
sion on the most advantageous method,
it was, on motion Of Mr.. Farrell, 1ecid-
ed to have the grade rise gradually from
Fourth to Fifth str"e,s, at an elevation
of twelve feet, which will place the bed
of the street about one foot above the
cellar windows.
Council then adjourned to Chestnut
street and Maryland avenue, to view
Shipley run from that point to the p
W. ~ B. Railroad. The width, as es.
tablished by ordinance some time ago,
is fixed at twenty feet and it was pro-
posed at the last meeting of Council to
build a sewer twelve feet wide, with an
inverted arch bottom. After II thor
ough inspection, it was deemed best t.
have the sewer constructed Twenty-Five
