A NOVEL SCHEME.
A SMALL BOY GOES THROUGH A CoNFEC-
TONERS CASH DRAWER,
And IS Caught By q Bogus Policeman, Who Secures
the Wealth From The Kid and Disappears.
How il Was Worked.

What from present indications seems TO
be an entirely new racket, was very sue
cessfully worked upon a Market street
confectioner last evening. About q quar-
ter past six o'clock, while Mr.. George
burst and his family were in the rear Oh
their Mace of business, at No. Ills Mar
ket street, a boy wearing a "roundabout'
and a cap, and apparently about fifteen
years of age, slipped into the store, darteo
behind the counter on the north side,
emptied the till of about ten or twelve
dollars, and started to run out. Just as
he emerged from the door he was grabbed
nv a man who seemed to be a policeman,
questioned, searched, threatened with be-
mo run in" and finally released, both
OFFICER and boy disappearing in different
directions. Mr.. Joseph Evans, a clerk at
Heyman's, saw the man talking to the
boy. and after the conversation had lasted
several minutes, he went into the store n
informed one ofthe ladies that the till had
been robbed. She hurried out, but on
coming on the sidewalk the boy ana OIL
cer'' were gone. A glance ut n drawer
revealed the truth Of Mr.. Evans aSSer-
ton, and Officer Dunlap was at once
summoned. Dir. Evans told Ofthe officer
searching the boy at the time, describing
him as a man about ) feet 5 inches In
height. slightly built, with black mus
tacLe and thin black chin whiskers, wear
ING brass buttons on his coat and vest, n
a policemm's shield, and d soft felt hat.
DupIap told Evans that the only officer
ON the force answering to that description
WAS officer LukenS, to which EvanS re-
piled that he was personally acquainted
with Lukens, and that 1t was not nln.
Mr.. Evans said the man first asked the
boy, what are you doing here!:'
PLAYING hide and 20 SEEK y he replled:
II believe YOU have been stealing!'
said the man, and with that he grabbed
the bow. and went through his clothing.
While the search was being made the boy
kent one hand behind him, under his coat,
and Evans thinks he either pushed the
money up behind his vest, or smugSledlt
into the mans hands.
I've a notion to take you down, Sald
the officer, when the search was over, out
he evidently changed his mind, for helet the
urchin 90, without taking the trouble to
inform Mr.. burst of the matter, and both
disappeared. -,
After study ing over tine case for a while,
Officer Dunlap reported the matter to Chief
Smith, who went up to bursts, but could
obtain nothing calculated to unravel the
mystery attending the unknown police
man with the black whiSkers and the ac-
c~ommodating disposition. 1t was suggested
to Mr.. Evans by the Chief that the man
might have been a railroad conductor, a
fireman, or some one else wearing a uni
form and badge, but this idea was secuted
by this gentleman.
Is it a new scheme thus sprung upon the
public?

PABLO MATCH.

Seats for this ind~iscribably funny per-
sormauce will be put on sale at Banners
this morning. The play introduces a
nrrbsr of new characters never before
Dortrayed on the stage, and sparkles from
beginning to ending with wit, drollery'
music and mirth. Captain William Kidd,
around whom the merry company flash
and scintillate, is a lineal descendant OF
tbe famous pirate, aud he is proud oil IL.
He ia one of the most delightful eranks on
this subject that one can imagine. his
wife and his daughters have to humor
him. He has dug up the whole OF MS
property looking for Capt. kldd's Treas
nrel and has begun, when the play opens,
to dio M his neighbors' property, to which
thew naturally object. Nothing can
ston this dreadful upturning Of the
whole earth until there arrives upon the
scene an enterprising book agent, L. NC
Corker, Esq. And this genial, lrrepreSSi-
bic, quick witted, indomitable, eloquent,
and meteoric genius succeeds IN saving
Can't Kidd and the family from this mania
nv substituting another and less danger
o1s-which is spiritualism. In the hides
cribable vortex of fun that ensues the gal
LIANT book agent is aided and Allotted nrst
of all by the most picturesque tramp that
ever climbed q garden wall. Old Hos,
ESD, is a travelling collector toran auc-
tion-room. He takes everything
he can lay his hands ON, and he becomes
the confederate of Mr.. McCOrEer in the
dark cabinet seances which paralyze Cap
tain Kidd. In fact, the whole Kidd fam
ily become confederates, and there ensueS
a series of the most bewildering materlall-
cations that we're ever seen. So struck Is
VIM. Kidd by the splendor and variety OF
the cabinet manifestations, that he puts an
advertisement in the papers, buys the
cabinet and goes into the materializlng
business. AS a consequence his neign0ors
grounds get . rest. To tell what hap
1ened at the first spiritual seance that
Captain Kidd gives is impossible. 1t
must be seen to be appreciated.

DIDN'T 7 IT.
AN ATTACHMENT OUT FOR WALLACB'S
CIRCUS,
For Money Due its Attorney, But it Goes Through the
City Without Stopping, and Escapes the
Clutches Of he Law.

The Wallace and Company's circus,
which has had so much trouble this season
on account of the large number OF card
sharps and all classes of takers that fol-
lowed in its wake, concluded to secure the
services of a lawyer recently to aid them
in getting out of the innumerable diff
culties they have been becoming involved
in ON their route. 1t required
a smart man for the work and n who
was conversaut with criminal cases so the
services of a Mr.. Boyton were secured, who
remained with the circus until it reached
Washington, Pa, on Monday last.
At that place Mr.. BoytOn presented the
manager of the circus with a bill of $500.
The latter refused to pay it, offering the
attorney $50, then 500, both of which
were refused. Mr.. Boyton then came to
Wheeling, on Monday evening,
and after consulting q lawyer regarding
the matter an attachment was made out
by Justice Philips, which WAS placed into
the hands of Constable Dick Bird, it be-
ing the intention to serve the paper when
the train passed through on the Il. go.
that night for Ohio.
The conductor would be compelled to
stop here and register and probably the
tain would have 10 wait for him.
However, the circus people got wind OF
the scheme and when the train entered
the city about 1870 yesterday morning
the conductor jumped off, finished his bus
ness and jumped on again without having
the train stopped and it went through to
Benwood. 1t is understood that Mr.. Boy
ton will enter suit against the conductor,
as he was notified to stop the train when
he iumupd of,

THE NATURAL GAS LINES.

The Persons Who Touch Of Leaks to be
Prosecuted when Caught.
The break in the Wheeling Natural Gas
C~ompany's line on the Meloy farm, men,
toned yesterday, was fired by some scoun-
drel who found the leak and the flames
communicated to a sheep house owned by
Mr.. MelOy, which was consumed. Super
intendent Ross, who was notified immedi-
ately, took out q gang of men and soon
had the leak repaired. Mr.. Meloy's loss
is about $500.
On the line of the West Virginia Com
pany it is understood there were four fires
burning, one of which was about four miles
from DunsforT; pa, the blaze being at
least forty feet high. The
company offers a large reward for any in
formation that will lead to the arrest and
conviction of the parties who
fired the leak and it is hoped they will be
apprehended as such proceedings endanger
the buildings situated close to the line. A
number Of the farmers along the line are
having the main tapped and are running
pipes to their houses. About all the farm
ers along the line will use the gas for fuel.

For THE RELIEF and cure of the in

Ely's Cream Balm than in anything
else it is possible to prescribe. This prep

brilliant success as a remedy for cold in
the head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in
the initial stages Of these complaints Cream
Balm prevents any serious development of
the symptoms, while almost numberless
cases are on record of radical cures of
chronic catarrh and hay fever after all
