Yesterday morning Mrs. ODOnnell, who
keeps boarding house on the corner OF

man whom she had employed about her
house at various times, but had since dis
charged. She ordered him of at once,
and he left. Shortly afterwards she was
Informed that he was again up stairs,
and upon going into the hall she met him
coming down the steps. He said he
wanted to see one of the servants, and
Mrs. O'Donnell again ordered him to keep
off the premises. He left, and upon going
I'D stairs she discovered two OF the board
ers' rooms locked, the man having carried
off the keys.
Strict watch was kept on the rooms,
and in a short time the man again APP
reared AS he was ascending the stairs
he was collared by Mrs. O'Donnell, who
cried "police" in a manner that attracted
attention for several blocks around. The
man broke loose and ran down Twelfth
street, closely pursued by Charles Vain
wright. clerk in the Davis House, imme-
diatelv opposite. Passing Main street,
Policemen Allen and Parkinson joined in
the chase, and when near the canal the
would-be thief was caught by Mr.. Vain
wright and held until Policeman Allen
came up, when he was taken in charge
and carried to the Second pOlice-station.
The captured party proved to be James
Allen, an old jail-bird and ex-conyict
having spent at least one-fourth OF his
life behind the bars

The Leich-street Mystery.

From an investigation made by a TINES
reporter yesterday and last night, it is
plainly apparent that the party who made
the attack on Karl KGhler, on Sunday
last, will never be captured; OF, if appre-
hended, will never be identified.
There is positive proof that Kehler
had no money on the premises at the
time of the assault, and that the object of
the attack was not robbery Of one fact
the public may feel reasonably sure, and
that is that no more than is at present
known will ever be made public about
this matter

The Crescent Festival.

mental music, and a recitation by Miss

ton of Professor Thomas J. Minor The
boys executed their intricate drill in
faultless style Their music was also
greatly enjoyed. Mr. Joseph r. Gill pre-
sided at the organ. Miss Lummie Cum
bingham recited "The Last Hymn in her
inimitable style and was loudly ap-
plauded. The Crescent drill by the young
ladies was a pleasant feature, and the
closing night of the festival was the most
successful and one of the most pleasant.
The festival has been greal success, and
the TINES reporter acknowledges obliga-
tons for many cOurtesies.

A DUEL ON THE TAPIS.
Editors Pulitzer and Dorsheimer Said To
Be Anxious for Gore.

Editors Pulitzer and Dorsheimer Said To
Be Anxious for Gore.
NEW YORK, July 26-The war of words
which has been going on for some time be-
tween the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer and the
Hon William Dorsheimer in The World and
Star seems about to develop into an appeal
to the duello. Police circles are on the
close lookout for signs of meeting Super
intendent Murray having notified his in
spectors and captains that such an event is
probable. The World has had little the
advantage in the wordy controversy and
the ex district attorney is expected to be
the challenging party. He has been held up
to public gaze as "bilk" a plunderer, an
associate and confederate of corrupt men
and corporations, and irresponsible adven
turer without character or standing in the
community, whose note would not be hon.
ored in any city bank, and whose whole
stock in trade was his illimitable cheek
Pulitzer has, on the other hand, been kept
before the readers of The Star as Hun
garian Hebrew of low origin and worse
career. Larceny and embezzlement, black
mail and slander, blackguardism and gen.
eral pestiferousness-all these and more
were charged up to the editor Of The
World
