cOIdlngly this morning, after Mr., Mat
thews, the clerk, had opened aud
was sweeping, two gentlemen came In
and wished 10 look at some 0%Verc0ats.
Mr.. Mathews pointed back to o pile Of
0yercOats while hs was furnishing q
town customer q collar. They made
some excuses and passed out, soon re-
turning TO get q collar each, which they
got. The other two same In about this
time and talked about a suit, one soon
making an excuse, but while this one
was talking TO Mr.. Ed. Goldberg him
self, the one In the back part OF the
store slipped out Mt the back door which
was open, but neither Mr., Goldberg nor
his clerk saw him 20 out.
Mr.. Goldberg accused this lark Of be,
Ing a thief, and asked where his com.
rade had gone, or course tho innocent
man denied any friend same In with
him, that he was a stranger and had
gone out. Mr., Goldberg looked and found
one 0yercOat had been taken, and told
Mr.. Matthews TO call a policeman, but
no one was about, although Mr.. NJ.
went to the Mayors Office. The thief
plead of no did not want TO
be arrested would rather pay
for an oyercOat and offered twenty
dollars, which was taken, s~uppOsing
that but one coat had been taken.
After q time policeman B~aughman
put In an appearance. The thieves,
numbering five, were seen on Piedmont
street, near by, but no arrests we're
made or attempted. After further ex.
animation Mr., Goldberg found that four
overcoats had been stolen. Mr.. Gold
berg went to the Valley depot and
found the party ready TO trip to Akron
where Logan q Co. are to-day.
On the settee In the ladies' waiting
room were three overcoats, which Mr..
Goldberg took, saying they were his.
The gentlemen showed q willingness TO
contend for the property and one kicked
al Goldberg, who returned n good left
handed lick In the fellows fAce that
made q neat cut. Constable Wolf and
the agent, Fred Lied, with others, ar
rested one OF them and he IL now In jail,
He gives his name az Jabez Woods. No
doubt, he ought to be kept In the woods.

tcrday morning Secretary 4. p. W. Skinner re-
ported that the constitution and bylaws had beon
engrossed. TreasurerW, w. Sly reported that
he had $500 on hand with al bills paid. The sec

of boxes was fixed at 81 per annum, and the time
for daily meetings from / 80 TO 2:30 clock.
This was the first meeting of
the newly organized exchange,
and was especially called for the purpose of in
Producing the members to each other. The room
of the exchange is large and airy apartment at
Il Fourth street south, and has been comfortably
fitted up. While the usefulness of the exchange
TO promote uniform system of doing business,
and to develop trade among the builders, depends
entirely upon the members, good beginning has
at least been made, and with ordinary amount
OF interest in the project there seems to be no
reason why it should not be success.
