A successful burglary was pcrpetrated
early this morning at the grocery of James
Holmes & Brother, at the intersection of
First and L streets and New Jersey avenue.
A CRITIC reporter, who called at the
store this morning, learned that Mr.. Holmes
has seen two suspicious characters, whom
he accurately describes, lettering about his
place for some days and last night. At
midnight he locked up his safe in the front
of the store, closed up the house as usual,
left the light burning and retired to sleep
in the second-story front room. When
he awoke this morning he found that his
clothes had been disturbed, his pockets
ransacked and the keys to his safe, store
and rooms taken from the pockets. An in
vestigation revealed the fact that burglars
had gained access to second-story rear
window, passed through the bedrooms of
the entire family obtained the keys and
proceeded to the first floor. After reaching
the store the burglars unlocked the safe and
removed box containing $3.50 in notes,
$50 in silver, some promissory notes,
mutilated coin, etc. With this they made
their escape, leaving the safe open and the
key in the lock. The detectives and police
went to work on the case this morning, and
it is probable that the burglars, who are be-
lieved to be strangers in the city, will be ar
rested.

were Transformed into scene of beauty

wake Up. Deiectiyes!

The number of robberies and acts of vio-
lence are on the increase in our city, and
our new detectives don't pan out very well
in efficiency, as the perpetrators of these
crimes, especially those of theft, for the
most part escape arrest. Within the
past two weeks housebreaking and
pocket picking have occurred with
ugly frequency, and the style in which
they have been committed evidences the
fact that the criminals are of a clever char
acter. The last burglary was committed
last evening, and Mr.. Holmes, living on
the corner Of street and New Jersey ave-
nue., was the victim. His house was en-
tered, his safe key taken from his pocket,
the safe opened and robbed Of three or four
hundred dollars. The skill displayed by
the thieves shows them to bc adopts in the

At q little after 10 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr.. Thomas Lucas, now acting as
detective for the Citizens Committee,
was seen in company with four well-known
professional thieves in the vicinity of Riggs
Bank. After short conference Mr.. Lucas
left them on the sidewalk and went into
the Department of Justice aud held short
conference with Brewster Cameron, afser
which they came out of the building to-
gether. Cameron, walking with crutches,
got into a carriage and was driven to the
banking-house presided over by ]. w.
Thompson, chairman Of the Citizens Com
mittee, while Lucas walked to the same
place, passing word with the four thieves
as he went by. After remaining in the
bank for ten minutes, both Lucas aud
Cameron returned to the Department Of
Justice, from which Lucas shortly emerged
and proceeded again to the bank, where he
remained a few moments, and on coming
out joined the four thieves, who
had in the meantime walked from
Riggs corner, down Fifteenth street oppo-
site the National Metropolitan Bank, and
there paid to each of them a sum of money
consisting of several bills. These are the
same thieves who can be seen in the COM
pany Of Lucas around the City Hall daily,
and several of whom have already testified
before the Grand Jury to matters known to
be absolutely untrue.
Lucas has but recently been interesting

quently leads TO great Inconvenience and de.
lay. To summon witness to be In attend

Is always necessary to communicate with the
police In the precinct In which he resides.
This cannot be done without consuming much
timo in going to Police Headquarters. This Is
only one OF the many ways In which the
nonconnection causes delay. This morning a
baillfr OF Marshal McMichaels court was sent
to West Washington with an attachment for a
person. The witness could not be found at
his residence or anywhere In the vicinity, and
the bailiff was told that no had most probably
gone to court himself. The bailir
hurried to tho Third Precinct Station,
on High street, and begged TO be
given quick communication with the City
Hall. But to his great Inconvenience he was
told that there was no telephone connection,
and he was compelled to consume much valu-
able time In hunting connection at some other
place. Gases like this are OF daily occurrence.
and could be easily remedied by connecting
the police telephone system with the City
Hall.
