Some time Wednesday night, supposed
to have been between l2 and o'clock, the
retail boot and shoe store Of EnoCh Ball,
No. 1899 Main street, was broken open
and goods stolen to the amount Of $500,
according to the estimate made by the sm-
ployes Of the store.
Entrance was gained by way OF win
dow in the rear. The thieves, for it Is be-
lieVed that there was more than one, 1t ia
supposed, climbed up the bank in the
rear from the r., W., Il KY. track, The
windows are guarded by heavy wooden
shutters, but circular hole was cut in
one large enough 10 allow hand TO be
inserted and unlasteu the catch, The
window was then forced open with q
shovel. From one Of the show windows
all the tine hand seWed mems aud
women's shoes were removed, and large
number OF pairs OF iue shoes taken from
the shelves, An effort was also made to
force the sale open with jimmy or some
other instrument, but this was unsucess'
ful.
As soon as the loss was discovered early
yesterday morning by tho clerks, the po-
lice were notified and at once set to work

getting on the trail aud early in the alter
noon recovered a portion Of the stolen
goods in one OF the disreputahlO boat
houses that are to be found near the
mouth OF the creek in thu rear
OF the 2. W. Il KY, freight
depot, Captain Smith and Officer
Carney were the ones that discovered the
goods. The thieves had taken alarm and
lied, There Is now a pretty well es-
tablished idea us to who they are, and
when they show themselves they will be
nAbbed,
These boat houses have for a long time
been rendezvous Tor bad characters.
They cannot be too closely watched,
fhiB Is not by any means the first time
that stolen goods have been found in them.

a Crow That skatss on KOlIor Skates Owned
By AIr, AckeF.

by Mr. AcEeF.
Mr., Willard ACker, who keeps a grocery
store on Sixteenth street, is acquiring
quite u reputation as a bird fanCIer and
tanner. He has in bis store three Canariss
AIRED bird, an English startling and . mon
ster crow that are not confined in cages
but allowed to fly about at their own
sweet will. They are 30 tame that they
allow their owner to approach and handle
them, and they never show disposition
to fly away. Occasionally they get out oil
doors for minute or two, but always
come back Their iavorite perches are in
the windows.
The crow is q great curiosity. Ieskates
on roller skates. lncredulous and ridiCu.
lous as this may appear, II is an actual
TACT, and 10 the result Of careful and
patient training on the part OF Mr., ACker.
The crow has u plir OF iron club skates
that were made for him by Mr.. Bartlett, a
Yankee genius employed as stacker" at
the Tack Factory. They are OF course,
diminutive affairs, but have four tiny
wooden wheels each, and they revolye
with the same rapldlty and treaChery that
those OF irregular pair OF skates do, In the
plates are holes for the crows toes and
they are fastened on by a string, When
Llrst put on the crow tries to pick them
oil, but In a few minutes he strikes out
aud goes it like an old Campaigner. A
number Of people have called to SEQ him.
The next thing one hears Of, will be a
COW on roller skates.

THE DISSOLUTION Of the English
Parliament appears probable, in view
Of the defeat Of Premier Gladstone's
Home Rule bill, which now seems to
be q foregone conclusion, but Queen
Victoria has thrown her influence
against dissolution, If 1t be possible
to avoid one. It Is difficult to see, how
ever, how q dissolution can be avoided,
owing to the homogeneous elements OF
which the House is composed. An ap-
peal to the people in this emergency
might, however, seem the proper course
to pursue, as that would be more Of q
reflex Of public opinion since tie agita'
ton Of the Irish Home Rule question
and could be taken as more sure guide
than an expression before the agitation

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

4
WASHINGTON, May II, 1886.-Many
congressman are now in a disturbed
state of mind, lest they will not be re-
turned to their seats next fall. They
are waiting aDxionsly for news Of re-
nomination. Quite number OF them,
it is thought, are doomed to disappoint.
ment, and the thought of their dilapi-
dated fences at home, makes them
anxious for an early adjournment.
The passage of three appropriation
bills by the House last week made them
hopeful of an early release, and Speaker
Carlisle is quoted as saying that it Is
| possible for Congress to adjourn by the
25th Of June. That will be less than
six weeks. The prevailing opinion,
however, is that Congress will not get
away before August. Work Is far be-
hind, and while many members would
| like to be among their constituents
others want time TO make Congressional
records for the approaching canvass.
Il The Senate has passed bill to ap
Ipropriate from the Treasury $500, 00(
for q monument to Abraham Lincoln
Another has passed for q monument II
General Grant to cost $3.50, 900. 1t ha,
been suggested that this money would
be spent In q more appropriate way /
put into a memorial bridge across tn,
Potomac, to bear the names Of thes
good and great men. 1t is held tina
