The Burglar seare-New Points.

On Sunday night Senior Canavarro,
the Portuguese Commissioner, left his
residence on Beretania street at O'Clock,
and came into town TO make call.
About half an hour afterwards Mrs.
Canavarro, who was in her bedroom,
heard a noise in another room as If some
one was closing or opening a window
She Immediately went to the room and
saw the window moving. Looking out
she noticed a man walking away. A
second later she was in her husbands
study and picked up his revolver.
Armed with it Mrs. Canavarro was pro-
ceeding back to the room, when through
the wire netting of the front door she
saw the mans face quite distinctly.
With great presence of mind she called
out to him TO leave the premises or she
would shoot him. This evidently scared
the fellow and he made off pretty lively.
Mrs. Canavarro telephoned to her hus-
band to come home, but did not tell him
of the occurrence until after his arrival,
About quarter before o'clock Mon
day evening, Mr.. John F. Colburn, who
resides on the plains, looked out OF one
of the windows of his house and noticed
a strange man in the grounds. He went
| out and asked him what he wanted
| there, and he replied that he had been
to see the Japanese who reside in the
rear part of the premises. Mr.. Colburn,
who was within twelve feet of him, told
him to get off the premises as quickly as
he could. In very polite manner he
said he would Mr.. Colburn went tc
the Japanese quarters and asked If the
man had been there They said he haG
been, and he was told to go away. MIR
CoIburn thinks he was a German from
his peculiar accent. He wore black
coat, heavy boots and a black felt hat.
I Some time during Monday night thu
premises of Robert More & Co., ma
chinists, King street, were entered, anC
three reyOlveT5, -ssrrlFnunition and
-------ieI off. The +-'.-'0o nH"
! gained admittance to the adjoining shol
of Brown & Phillips, plumbers, by break
ing pane of glass and removing a sticl
which held the window sash. A higl
partition separates the premises from
More & Co.'s. This they easily climbed
over. The stock in the latter's shop wa
pretty well scattered around.
Very early Tuesday morning the resi-
dence of HI. B. NJ Commissioner Majo
Wodehouse, on Emma street, was tn
scene of a visit by burglar. Mrs
Wodehouse heard noise in the hall
way leading from the front parlor. Sh

a lamp there was noise which awok
nearly everyone in the house. On look
ing round a moment later the hallwa
and parlor were scattered with clothing
and several chairs were turned over

by christening the catch and found hi
way to Major Wodehouse's dressing
room. There he collected all the cloth
ing he could lay hands on, and wa
making off with it when disturbed, bu
| in his hurry dropped all the booty.
