Arrested for Robberies in Maryland.

John Lee and John Garner, two heavy-set,

from numerous petty robberies. Especially has
farmer would frequently awake In the morn
Ing to find that his vegetable patch and out
houses had been robbed, and q sad diminu-
tion made in HIS poulrypopulatlon. These
crimes are nearly all committed by citizens of
the District, and the court expenses In most
cases prevent the sufferers from complaining
to the police and having the depredators prose-
cuted.
on the night of January Mr.. oden Bowie,
wealthy farmer, living four miles this side OF
Marlboro, was robbed OF 100 pounds OF sau-
sage, 115 pounds OF bacon, one set of buggy
harness and two carriage covers. The police
here were Immediately notified, and suspicion
at once fell upon Lee and Garner, two noto-
rious thieves OF South Washington, who had
previously worked for Mr.. Bowie. A close
search was commenced by the police, and on
Saturday morning Olicer Branson captured
Garner at his residence, on Third street, aud
the same night found Lee concealed by dis
reputable female in Firstetreet shanty.
The men confessed that they did the steal
ing, and gave tho name OF another party who
assisted them, for whom the police are now
hunting. Most OF the stolen goods have been
recovered, and are kept for the owner at the
First Precinct station. Both OF tho men have
long been leading lights In the criminal cir

TO have been guilty OF many crimes similar to
that for which they are now detained. Whom

brewster BADLY bitten.

A Washington correspondent thus relates
how the big Brewster, Attorney General for
Arthur, was recently 'done for" to the tune
of $50:
Attorney-General Brewster a short time ago
discharged his chief clerk. That clerk, Multi
ken, whether unwittingly or otherwise, very
likely the former, just before leaving the de-
partment, succeeded In getting Mr.. Brewster
Into sixtydollar hole. The driver OF Brew
ster's carriage is a messenger In his depart
ment. He is also used by Brewster as body
servant. This individual wanted a new suit
of clothes and urged Brewster to get him the
desired raiment. Brewster, who had notified
his chief clerk OF the latter's impending dis
missal, went to him for advice. He
wanted to know II he could purchase
suit OF clothes for his driver
and have 1t charged to the contingent fund of
the Department. Mulliken told him that he
could. Under Brewster's authority the driver
went with him to first-class tailor and ordered

$50, and directed that tho bill be sent to the
Attorney. Generals ofllce. In due time II made
its appearance. Brewster directed that It be
paid. Then came the demurrer. He was told
that under no law could a suit of clothes for
one OF Its employees be paid for by the Govern
ment. Mulliken had by this time left the De-
partment. Although absent, Brewster, in his
usual vigorous style, swore several etreaks OF
blue at him. He could not get over, under or
around the law, however The sequel is that
he to-day had to pay for the clothes out OF his
own pocket.

and loss OF blood, was unable 70 scratch and
