Mr. Frank Brown, of this county, who re-
sides on his estate near Sykesville in summer
and spends his winters In Baltimore, had his
city residence, corner of Charles and Read
streets, robbed last February of about 81, 200
in silverware, which event was noticed in
these columns at the time. On Wednesday
John c. Distance, Joseph Distance and John
Walker, all colored, were found guilty in the
Baltimore Criminal Court
After the evidence in the case had been
concluded John c. Distance, one of the pris
oners, who had been employed as steward by
Mr.. Brown, went upon the stand and confessed
taking the goods and giving them to Malachi
Distance, who was not arrested, Joseph Dis
lance and John Walker, the other prisoners.
Malachi and Joseph are brothers of John,
and Walker is their cousin. John Distance
said he began the thefts by giving spoons to
the others to sell, and they would return the
money, which would be divided. Some of
the spoons taken, he said, were sold at
Hecht's. on North Howard street. Malachi
informed John that he had told Mr.. Hecht
that he had some more, but they were marked,
and Mr.. Hecht said that did not make any
difference, as he could melt them the same
day he bought them. John then gave Malachi
spoons and forks marked S. I. c. B and he
sold them. He also gave silverware to the
other prisoners. Mrs. Brown gave orders for
an oyster lunch, which she intended to give,
and the prisoner, knowing that the silverware
would be required of him, applied to Mr..
Hecht for certain articles. Mr.. Hecht, he
said, advised him to fix the safe so as to make
it appear to have been robbed. Mr.. Thomas
C. Ruddell, counsel for the prisoners, argued
that only John Distance was guilty, but Judge
Phelps, before whom the case was tried with
out Jury, found all guilty. Abraham Hecht,
George Strauss, Simon Rosenthal and Simon
Frank are under Indictment for receiving the
goods

Christmas, the festive season of the year,
will soon be here. The hospitable board at
the old homestead is being prepared and will
be spread for children and grandchildren.
Those who have been attending the different
institutions of learning will return to the pa
entail roof, which once more will shed down
upon them its calm and peaceful blessing.
Already visions of plum pudding, turkeys and
other deicacies float before their imagination.
Oh, what joyous time it will be. Aliena-
tons are forgotten, jealousies disappear, heart
burnings cease. The genial atmosphere of
Christmas thaws out even selfshness itself;
and the angels, who sang ''peace and good
will to men, on that still, calm morning eigh-
teen centuries ago, seem even yet to reverent
minds to usher in this sacred dawn. Then
those of us who can celebrate Christmas with
family circles unbroken, and who are blessed
with all the good things of life, should en-
deavor to do good to the afflicted and desti-
tute; for, ''inasmuch as you have done itunto
one of these, the least of my brethren, you
have done 1t unto me.

was bright many hearts were made glad.
About forty five had assembled at the resi-
