In the Form of Burglar Tools One OF the
Owners Locked Up.
The police did a good bit OF work last
night of a nature which will show thai
although the force is too small for the
proper protection OF the city, it gets
there" every once in a while in a manner
which entities it to all praise.
About dark last night Officer Lukeus
was informed by two boys named Gun,
niDgham and Gaus that they had found a
yellow leather satchel on the shore Of the
Island, nearly opposite the Etna mill and
almos. directly back Of the residence OF
Me-. ellis. LukeRs lost no time IN max
ing On investigation of the grip, and was
oyerioyed to find it contained 0 very pretty
set of burglar tools, gotten up with
the particular object OF drilling
safes. There Was a combination drlll
of great power carrying half-inch drills Of
hue steel, the apparatus being arranged 10
bolt onto u safe handle in a very neat way,
from which point of vintage the drill could
be sent into the region Of the lock. Then
there were several drills, assorted sizes,
A small Jimmy, a pair OF outsiders for
srasping q key left sticking IN the lock
and turning 1t from the outside OF the
door, a small serew-driyer, some mlscel'
~laueous articles, several yards OF fuse,
about a pound OF powder, and a quantity
Of wooden rags, the several pieces belne
wrapped in copies of Pittsburg papers ol
January Sth and 10th.
Lukeps took the stuff to headquarters,
and then set about looking tor the owner
About half-past eight he saw a stranger
cross the bridge aud make his way up
North Front street. He followed the man,
and saw him 20 Oh up the extension OF
Front, making for the point near where
the grip was found. Leaving him to 90 On,
he hunted up Officer McNichOlls. and the
two laid tor the stranger on his return trip
Presently he came along, wearing the all
ofa disappointed man, and was placed un'
der arrest. He tried to tell the officers that
he was an emplOye of the Creek mlll
working for a man who, 1t happens ha'
been located in Pittsburg fer a year or 50
and in view OF this he was escorted to TIT
CITY Hall Ga being searched q BRITISH

RuTClarS Abroad,

Two attempts at burglary were made at
Bellaire Saturday night, The store OF
Fred Eserle was selected as ons of the
places TO visit, and there the burglars
tackled the safe. After they hsd battered
of the combination knob they found the
safe was unlocked. They found nothing
which struck their fancy. The other place
visited was the B., L. 4 c. depot. There
the safe was also found empty, but bare
of yaluables.

Gambling House Pulled.

Last evening officers ShOrt5. Nest and
Dunlap went to the building, No, 1904
Water street, and proceeding to the third
floor, they pushed through three or four
sets OF doors and into IL keno room kept by
George Clator. The inmates of the room
were not more surprised than were the 9th,
GERS, TOR when the latter looked in the room
there sat twenty-three men, all engaged in
playing keno.
The crowd was placed under arrest and
word sent to the City Building FOR more
officers. and Watson. Hazlett and Junkips
responded. Those of the gang who could
not u up for their appearance, had land
kerchiefs placed over their faces 10
as to be unacceptable, and were
marched to the City Building,
where the following IA were placed on
the register: Geo. Clator, proprietor. Ed.

is useless to say that about oil these names
are fictitious. There was one other man,
who escaped down the elevator. Lewis
also broke aud ran, with Officer Shorts
after him, and they had a lively chase, as
Lewis is quite a Splinter. John was gain

of Officer Bell on Fourteenth street.

To The Editor Of TIE Register:
SIR:-You are right by saying: The
preachers are furnishing interestin' readin'
to the papers nowadays. The only draw,
back is, there is too much of it."
understand your pious ejaculation.
1t is hard to 'squeeze' through such a
TRADE like Rev. Dryden's in your satur-
day paper, Ihsye neither time nor in
clinstion to do it. But MI. Dryden may
know. The meaning of DR.. Sesaler's letter
is and remains tine same, he may turn him
self, whereto and rs much as ever he likes.
l do not like to repeat again aud again the
same arguments, because Mr.. Dryden can
and will not understand, and cannot con-
vince me in spite Of his wisdom and logic,
but l might confess one thing, he is q
little Jester, and his jests are most excel
lent. l am at the end and do not want to
to answer any more. Mr.. Dryden
may exercise himself in writing such
lengthy epithets if he takes pleasure init,
but allow me not to read them any more.
My place Of information is the pulpit.
And now as ever ] will continue to speak
and fight against the irrational and
fanatic efforts of prohibitionists like him
and support true and pure temperance, its
laws and consequences by all my influence,
common sense and power Of word within
my reach. W. ULFERr.

A Very Pertinent and Proper Question.
WHEELING. W. VA, Feb, 4, 1888.


WHEELING, W. Va, Feb. 4, 1888.
To the Editor Of the Register
SIR:-Allow me a space in your paper in
which to enter my protest against what !
consider to be q great wrong among our
people in calling separate meetings from
our white Republican friends for the pur-
pose of forming o colored Republican club.
We are Republican voters and tax payers
in common with our white Republican
brethren and should be so regarded and
allowed to join the different clubs in the
various wards wherein we live and pay tax.
In my humble Judgment not to be allowed
to Join the various clubs is un.Republican
and un-American. If we are Republicans,
which all must admit that we are, from the
fact of our past history and our fidelity to
the party, all we ask is justice for ourselves.
0pr votes are the same, our taxes are the
same. That being the fact, then why
should we have separate clubs? If we are
to be represented in the formation of a
State league we should be represented as
Republicans and not colored Republicans.
Respectfully yours,
B. II. STILLYARD, NJ. d.,
A voter and taxpayer il the Second ward.
