A cULpRIr c~oRRALED.
One of the Gang That Robbed Grounds
Store Captured at Laramie City.

The readers of the LEADER will remem-
Der that recently it was announced in this
paper that Freund's gun store in this
city had been entered by burglars, who
made away with goods worth about 81 900.
For two or three days after the discovery
of the commission Of the burglary but
little was said about it as it was thought
some clue might be obtained to the per
petrators of the crime by keeping a strict
lookout. The officers in Cheyenne were
of course notified by Mr.. Freund of what
had happened and T. JEFF Carr, the Vice
President of the Rocky Mountain Detee-
tive Association. The city was most
thoroughly secured in order to ascertain
if possible some clue to the offenders, and
every stranger who departed from Chey-
enne, either by rail or otherwise, was
closely watched. In the meantime JEFF
Carr soon became convinced that the guilty
parties had left the city and for certain
reasons concluded that the thief or
thieves, together with the spoils, had
gone westward. Accordingly as soon as
he became convinced that they were not
in the city he sent minute descriptions of
the property stolen to Laramie City and
telegraphed Larry Fee, the City Marshal,
to intercept and arrest the parties should
they reach that place or attempt to pass
through it. Fee therefore kept a sharp
lookout and on yesterday morning his
attention was attracted to a young man,
or boy rather, who was going about the city
and offering for sale revolvers, knives, etc.
Fee at once arrested him and lodged him
in Jail. On search being made at the
place where he stopped, several articles
answering the description of those that
were stolen, were found and taken DOS
session of Among other articles were a
pair of field glasses, Word was at once
sent to Carr, in this city, who in
structed Fee to make search for other ar
t%icles, and suggested that there probably
were others connected with the burglary
who would be found at Laramie City also.
The boy arrested would not give his name.
Up to a late hour last night no farther
tidings had been received. The prisoner
will probably be brought here to-day.

THE DEAD JUDGE.
Resolutions of Regret Passed
\; BY the City Bar.
Sympathy Extended to Chief
Justice Perry's Family.

\ meeting Of the attorneys of the city
was held last evening in the office of Pot
ter Il Riner to adopt suitable resolutions
expressive of regret for the sudden death
OF Hon. john C. Perry, lately appointed
Chief Justice of Wyoming Territory.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
e.. n. Potter and Hon. VIM. Ware Peck
was selected to preside. Mr.. Potter ac-
ted as secretary, Judge Peck stated the
object of the meeting after which, on
motion of Mr.. Rosendale, he was selected
to draw up resolutions of regret ard con
dolence. Judge Peck wrote out and sub
mitted the following which was unani-
mously adopted.
At a meeting at Cheyenne Of members
of the bar of Wyoming, convened with
reference to the sudden death of the Hon.
John c. Perry, late of Brooklyn, in the
State of New York
Resolred, That we fully appreciate the
very great afliction which has been visit
ed upon his family, and deeply sympathize
with them in their distress
That the excellent character which had
itaSieh Nv iSllllolS respecting MN, gave
gratifying assurance that had his life and
health been spared he would have exercis-
ed its Chief Justiceshib as a competent.
faithful and good Judge-and on that
account we deeply regret his death;
That these resolutions be transmitted to
the family as an expression of our tender
and respectful consideration.
1t was suggested that the Acting Gov
ernor wished to obtain the sense of the
meeting as to whether he had a right to
assign a Judge to hold the coming term
of Court. In order to bring the matter
properly before the meeting Mr.. Potter
moved that it was the sense of the meet
ing that under existing circumstances, as
they understood them, no power vested
in the Acting Governor to assign a Judge.
This was adopted, after which the meet
ing was adjourned.
An informal discussion arose after the
adjournment of the meeting upon the
question as to whether there is a vacancy
in the Chief Justiceship of the Territory
at the present time. The attorneys pres
ent seemed to agree that even though
Judge Sener had sent in his resignation
that he was yet, nevertheless, Chief JUS
tice, and that he could not resign his
office until his successor had been APP
pointed and qualified.
The following telegram was sent from
here yesterday:
Mrs. John c. Perry, Brooklyn, N. Y:
Wyoming sympathizes with you in your
great affliction.
E. s. n. MORGAN,
Acting Governor.
An Associated Press telegram received
at this office last evening read as follows:

defensive power is only partially reas-
suring, and her immense armament is .
heavy burden; there is fragrant con-
tradiction between the institution Of
universal barracks and those republi-
can aspirations which are becoming
more and more democratic day by day.
The simplest solution would be to fling
ourselves at oil hazards upon Germany,
to take back from her our former from
tiers, and to disarm her. That being
done, we, too, might lay, down our
arms. This is what is called la revanche.
Many people erroneously imagine that
the French cherish the idea Of it. but
nothing of the sort is true. There is
not within my knowledge single poll
tioisn who dreams Of such thing, and
among tho people it would be most un-
popular. This terrible game, in which
our fate rs nation would
be the stake, would depend upon the
hazard of battle lost or won, and we
will not play il, except in the last ex-
tremity. But it remains none the less
certain that We continually confront
Germany as an irreconcilable enemy,
more on account of the harm she could
still do US than on account of the harm
she has done; and that enemy
is certainly not one to be despised.
II Germany is our bugbear, we ass,lredly
give her illustrious chief, the Chancellor
Of the empire, many sleepless nights.
He knows right we'll that the moment
On enemy of his uprises anywhere he

"When thermometer is to he madc.n
says manufacturer, "the glass blower
first blows bulb on the end of long
tube. While this tube is hot, the end
of the tube is inserted in mercury, and
as the bulb cools, the mercury rises and
fills the bulb Thisprocess is repeated
until the bulb and part of the tube arc
filled. The bulb is then immersed iii il
snow or Clipped ice, and the mercury
drops to the freezing point, which il
marked on the tube as 80 deg, il q
Fahrenheit scale is to be followed.
Next the bulb is put in boiling water,
and the point to which the mercury rises
is marked on the scale as 212 deg. Ten
degrees of the mercury are now detached
from the column by jarring, and the
whole length of the tube is teAted. The
process is repeated. with deg. Of the
columns being measured all the time
by standard thermometer to see if fthe
tube is conical at any point.
Common thermometers generally vary
about 2 deg. or 8 deg. owing to the irreg.
nlarity of the opening in the tube which
causes the mercury to rise slowly where
the opening is too large, and too fast
where the opening is too narrow. r.

They should be allowed to stand not

with mercury, above which, in due time,
inserted fine piece of steel spring, the

Tho President Among the Chill
dren.
Washington Corresnondence


There are only three rooms in the
White House now that are not open to
the public on reception days. These
are the Presidents private chamber.
Mrs. McElroy's room, and little Nellie's
chamber. Mr.. Arthur hos taken great
pains in fixing up his little girls room.
It has two large windows that overlook
the Potomac and the park in the rear Of
tile White House. Miss Nellie invites
her young friends to her room when
they come to see her, and there the
children enjoy themselves by getting up
mock receptions and all manner of
games known to young children. He
is always welcome, but story is ex-
acted of him by way of toll. When the
President is particularly bored
by office-seekers and President
makers he escapes to Nellie's
room and forgets his cares in listening
to the innocent prattle of the young
people. Mr.. Arthur has great fund
of stories at his command. Should he
tire of political life he could make a
fortune as o novelist or story writer.
Miss. Nellie's favorite story is entitled
the Gotham Princess. This story has
never been copyrighted by Mr.. Arthur,
but if it were published it might make
as Zig o sensation as Mr.. Blaine's book.
It is bold sarcasm ON New-Yo soci-
ety. It has good ending, however.
The Gotham Princess puts all the other
New-York young ladies to shame and
marries Prince Rosebud. Together
the Prince and Princess moor their bark
in quiet waters after having passed
through many stormy seas. Miss Mel
lies room is handsomely furnished.
The furniture is blue, with curtains to
match. Several pictures adorn the
walls. Mrs. McElroy's room is adioin-
ing. Mr.. Arthur's room is pronounced
by those who have had the good fortune
to see it to be dream.
