BOLD BURGLARS
Silently Steal Into the Stamm
House
And Get Away With Booty TO the Amount
Of Several Hundred DoIIars---Their
Operations Show the Fine
Italian Hand Of Pro-
fessionals.

1t is evident that some experienced hotel
thief has been working the Stamm House
for picnic for some time past. On Thurs
day night or early yesterday morning, it
was gone through for the third time in
wear, and TWO Of its inmates were victim
ined.
Yesterday morning Collector OF the Port
Beach, arose from his slumbers and dis
covered, upon attempting to make his
toilet that all his Clothes with the excep-
ton OF his pants and linen, was missing.
He began to enquire into the matter OF his
son who rooms with him him, when the
loud ingling Of bell in q neighboring
room cut short his inquiries, and upon in
yestigation it was discovered that Mr.. S. T.
Cohen, a New York travelling man, who
occupied the room was in decidedly
worse plight than General Beach.
Mr.. Cohen was found in his room in ex-
treme disbabille and all his clothes we're
gone. The house was aroused and the po'
lice were called in to make al investigs.

the yard and the police proceeded to search
the house for robbers and clothes. MIR.
Coben's garments were found down stairs

roll Of money, fine gold watch, diamond

the pockets showed the loss ola pair OF
gold trimmed spectacles, a small sum Of sill

book, which was left behind. The thieves
we're evidently not looking for silver watches
as one belonging to Mr.. Beach was left in
his vest pocket. His loss will amount to
somewhere in the neigbborhood Of $40.

a wsIi-to-de Citizen Charged witha Ser
ions Crime

a WeIl-to-do Citizen Charged with . Sefs
ious Crime.
Mrs Laura Hill yesterday appeared be-
fore Justice Ankle. IN company with her
husband, and swore out . warrant for the
arrest OF Thomas Newman, charging him
with rayishing her. Her statement 10 sub
stsntially IS follows: Early in April Mr..
Hill was sent to the work house for thirty
days by Judge LETTERS, and Mrs. Hill deter
mined to 60 TO the home of her parents o.
relatives near Pittsburg, and on the 10Th
day Of April she was in her house, which,
by the way is owned by Newman, in the
alley between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets, arranging some of her be-
lopgings preparatory to starting home.
Newman as she alleges, came in and sat
down to talk with her, and she shortly went
- stairs whence Newman followed her, and
by sheer force committed the deed with
which she charges him. She said nothing
at the time and proceeded to her desana-
ton.
The same day she left superintendent
Mnloney took Hill to the house to see that
evtrything was IN order, when he found the
ted disarranged and muddy footprints On
the sheets. On Friday Hill vss discharg-
ed from the workhouse- and tele-
grsphed for his wife To- come
home. Upon her arrival she told him of
the circumstance, and she, in company with
her husband, went TO Newmsn's residence
and charged him with the crime, whereupon,
she ssys, Newman ran out of the hose, and
she then went and swore out the warrant
for his arrest, although her husband advised
her MOTTO do so
Newnan's statement is Just the reverse
of this. He says he had nothing to do
with the woman, and that when
Hill and his wife came to his house and
made the charge, he ordered them of the
premises. Newman was placed under
81 900 bah for his appearance before the
Justice on Monday next at I p. m, when
some spicy developments will undoubtedly
be brought 70 light ifthere is anything in
the charge. He furnished bond and was
released.
Hill is rather notorious character, hav-
ing been arrested some time ago charged
with stealing, but was released on account
of iGsufcient evidence to convict him.
Newman Is bachelor, who has seen
about fifty summers and as many winters,
and,is quite well to.dc. owning good deal Of
property in the East End. He has re-
tanned as his counsel John o: Penileton.

GO TO BELLAIRE.
The knights of st. George Accept an In.
yitation.

The knights of st. George Accept an In
yitation.
A score of Bellairites who witnessed the
recent magnificent exhibition drill Of the
Knights Of st. George at the Chapline
street rink became so badly mashed on
that superb organization, that they could
not resist the temptation to invite the boys
TO drill in Bellaire, which invitation has
been cheeriully accepted by the knights.
Accordingly, on next Wednesday evening,
the Knights, headed by Kramers full brass
band will give a parade through the prin-
ciple streets of this city. at the conclusion
of which they will board the steamer Prin-
Gees, which leaves the wharf at I o'clock
sharp. On arriving in Bellaire, the Knights
will parade through the principal streets on
their way TO the Elysisn rink, where the
grand exhibition drill takes place. Judging
from the number Of people that will Join the
excursion it is extremely doubtful iftht
Princess will be able to carry or the rinh
hold the crowd that will be present. Tnt
Knights are in first class condition anC
our cousins across the river may expect Il
see a splendid military display.

The success that has attended cable rail
ways indicates that in few ysars there will
be quite q revolution in the manner Of
travel in the cities There are in successful
operation nine lines Of this road in San
Francisco, four in Chicago, four in Phils'
delpbia, one in Kansas City, and one in HO-
boken, besides lines now in the course Of
construction in New York and Cincinnati.
The following are some Of the features Of
these lines: An underground tube or tun-
mel extends between the rails and in this
tube or tunnel runs an endless wire cable.
The cars can be attached to this cable at
any point. The engine can be placed any
where along the line and cars moved in any
direction By these cables. There is no
smoke, no dust, no horses, no noise. The
rate Of speed is nine miles per hour and the
cost Of making road $4,000 to 100000
per mile, according to location and other
conditions.

A Radical Change In womsn's Dress.
Boston HTaH


think that venerable and highly re-
speeted article Of female dress, the chemise,
may adyantsgeously be wholly dispensed
with. Every one is supposed to have q
ehemise Ito her back" but that this suppo-
Stion Is not wholly true was proved to me
some time ago. When at the seaside last
autumn two girls, mutual friends of mine,
and whom | introduced to each other, went
ole warm day with me 10 battle.
One said to theother: II am afraid YOU
III be aSfnlly shocked when you see me
urd:tSs.' Shocked Why well
hardly ike to tell you; but the fact is that
have 90 little on. 81 dol't wear much"
said Tie other. "All have is combinations.
stays and one pet;icost under my dress"
C"riously enough, both these girls were
dressed in precisely the same way,
in woollen combinslions stays well
shaped ard rot Tight, one petticoat,
SId o dress, which. from its elegance,
gave no suspicion Of the state OF Affairs uu-
derueath. As | had an opportunity of 90
serving, these young ladies were dressed in
perfectly sanitary style, although none but
myself had any idea of the fact; and, in
spite Of it, they passed for two Of the best
dressed gnls at the fashionable watering
place where we we're staying.
| have since hsd several opportunities of
observation, andI find that quite number
of the best dressed women Of my acuusint-
aree have renowned the use of chemise in
favor Of woollen combina ions. The MAORI
ty, however. believe, are not induced to do
so by sanitary considerations, bat simply
because the cheuise is bulky article and
makes them look stouter than is natural to
them whereas the combinations being made
in q stretchy material, ct somewhat closely
and show the symmetery of the figure.
