BURGLAR At WORK.
George Kahrs' Grocery House
Burglarized Last
Night
An Exciting But FruitleSS Chase
After the Burglar.

The residents of Third street in the vi
cinity of George Kahrs' grocery establish
ment were aroused from their SAUNDERS
about 2 o'clock last night by the repeated
discearge of fire arms and shouts of ''stop
thief"
Harry Hill and Dan Harris. couple of
young men were visiting two young ladies
at the residence of Mr.. Qlirk nearly d.
rectly opposite the store, when one OF the
happened to notice quick fash of light
In the store near the safe. The light went
out in an instant, but being repeated two
or three times in succession, he concluded
that Somebody was plundering the store by
the light of a dark lantern, He asked she
ladies whether there were any
firearms in the house and
they produced a couple of loaded
revolvers from another room. The young
men took them and sailed forth TO inves-
tigate the matter. Hill went to the back
part Of the store, while Harris stationed
himself ia front. Hill found one of the
back windows open and decided that the
brother, sleeping in an adjoining house,
were aroused, but before they came out.
Harris discharged his revolver twice. This

the open rear window. Hill saw him and
shouted, shalt" but the fellow paid no at
tentioB, and kept on running with all his
might Hill and Harris shot at
him, but neither succeeded in hitting
him,
On examining the store nothing was
found missing. but the outside door of the
safe was standing wide open. Mr.. Kahr
says be noticed suspicious-looking white
man hanging about the. store nearly all
day, and when he closed the safe at night
he was particular about locking it. He is
sure, therefore, that the fellow had opened
the door by working" the combination,
and was evidently at work on the second
door when he was frightened off by the
pistol shots. He is satisfied by the manner
the safe was worked that the burglar is a
regular safe cracker, and may be heard
from again if his adventure last night has
not frightened him away from town.
Hill says he got fair sight at the burg
lar and is sure he is a colored man, and, OF
course, does not answer to the description
of the suspicious white man seen abont the
store yesterday.
The officers have the matter in hand and
think they have clue that will lead to
the capture of the fellow.

An East Third Street Boy Wants
to Bite His Sisters Suit
or With Dog.

A small boy with high wster pants
stopped BAZOo reporter on the street
to-day and, in plaintiff tone of voice, in
9uired:
"Say, mister, where kin / get dog"
ga dog what do you want a dog for ?"
"Just TO keep"
The reporter finally succeeded in extract
ing from the boy that he wanted q
great big dog-one big enough
to bite large juicy piece of steak out of
the anatomy OF the young man who called
on his sister on East Third street. The
little fellow with the abbreviated breeches
said that the young man was a slayer
from Stayerv;lle, and if he could bite the
young man with dog his sister would be
able to attend to her brothers bodily all
ments, such as sewing on buttons ano ad-
psregoric at those times when
become burden to an I'M
ripe man.
The boy was in earnest, but the inter
view suggested painful possibilities. An
undergrown boy armed with an overgrowH
dog can keep up considerable turmoil. A
strange man bitten by a strange dog in
strange place makes a strange combine
ton, but that is evidently the kind OF
combination that juvenile resident on
East Third street is trying to make.

A PerilOuS Ride.

Mrs. Harry Huston came very near hay
ing very serious accident at her home,
ten miles southeast of the city, Monday
afternoon. She had started to the city
with her baby, and got out of the buggy to
open a large gate leading into the main
road. After leading the horse through she
closed the gate, again placed the child in
the buggy and was in the act of getting in
herself, when the animal from some cause
became frightened and started down
the road on "a dead run.
Mrs. Huston was thrown violently to the
ground, but fortunately did not sustain
serious injury. The horse ran for over Q
half mile, and was stopped in the road by
parties passing. Mrs. Huston, terribly
frightened, fully expected to End her baby
q corpse, but. instead, the little fellow was
firmly wedged in among some articles in
the bottom of the buggy, unhurt, and ap-
peared to have enjoyed his perilous ride.
1t was certainly a miraculous escape

Chipping" I'm America.

New YORK sun.
In fact, the nuisance of tipping is
now more affiicting in this country
than it is anywhere else, for two or
three reasons, which may perhaps be
summed up in the one explanation by
which Herbert Spencer accounted for
so many of the phenomena of A
merican life-the fatuous and GRIM
inal good nature Of the American
character. la the first place, the fees
that one pays at foreign hotels or on
board foreign steamers are moderate
in amount and regulated by custom,
and they are paid but once and to
one set of functionaries on the de-
parture of the guest. In this country
the practice having grown up in late
years through the unabashed greed of
one side and the weak compliance of
the other, there is no tariff and every
service has to be paid for by itself.
Things that one could do much better
for himself, and that he would do
much better for himself, and that he
would much prefer to do for himself,
are oficlOusly and impudently done
for him in order to put the doer into
position to demand backsheesh, or,
rather, to levy blackmail.

Aleppo's Departed Glory.

The ancient city of Aleppo, so re- nowned in story, though situated in ono of the most fertile provinces of the Turkish Empire, is ill q wretched state of poverty md industrial decay, owing to the mingled neglect and cxactions of the government Only three years ago cereals to the value of Sl ,2GO, 425 were expected, but last year only $40O, ,OO0 worth was sent abroad, although there were splendid crops, and grain routed in the granaries for want of sale, The chief reason of this falling off is want of transportation facilities. It is only seventy-seven miles to seaport, but the roads have been allowed to fall into ruin, and the expense of transportation is very great. Besides this, the exactions o the imperial treasury have so depleted the city funds, that all transportation both in matters of law and sanitation has almost ceased to exist. It is i'm possible to recover debts, and feyers ravage the city.

Invisible Threads.

o. V. Boys, in lecture delivered at the Society of Arts, London, described the improvements he has made in sus- pending flores used in the construction of the most exact scientific apparatus, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. No wire could be drawn fine enough, or thread though fairly fine, is too stiff a material for the most delicate purposes. Besides, glass has not the requisite elasticity, and the same fault precludes the use Of spider web. A single fibre of silk, ob- tained by washing cocoon fibre and splitting it so as to separate the two component parts of which it is made, has been largely used in exact instruments, but even this was not sufficiently fine to obtain absolute accuracy.
 Requiring something superior to any thing then existing for some very deli cate work, MT. Boys was led to the ex- perimental manufacture of flores by melting rock crystal in an oxhydrogen jet, drawing it into rods and then drawing these rods into the finest threads by attaching them to the tail of an arrow, which is shot from a cross bow as soon as the rod is again melted. He made one of these threads less than 1-10,O inch in diameter, and can make them of any size down to the limit of microscopic vision, the ends being the finest known to exist, because it is i'm possible to trace them up to the end with microscope. They are certainly not more than one-millionth of an inch in diameter, and to give an idea of what this means MT. Boys told his hearers that if the whole of piece of quartz inch in diameter and l inch long were to be made into thread of this size it would take an express train, travelling at the rate of sixty miles m hour with out ceasing, thirty years before it had travelled distance equal to the length of the thread.
 Threads as fine as this arc only useful as microscopic objects, but those o 1-10,000 of an inch, and even finer, car be employed by those accustomed te handle them. Such thread is 10000 times less stiff than spun glass, an6 stronger than piece of steel of tht same size-if such could be made-ant will carry weight equivalent to eight. tons to the square inch.

MRS. JOHN TYLER DEAD
President Tyler's Widow Passes AwaE
 at Richmond, Va.


Death Overlook Her While she Was on
 Her Way to One of Her sons-Alonc in
 Hor Last Hours-A singula Coinci-
 dence in Connection With Her De-
 mise.
 RICHMOND, Va, July 11.-Mrs. John from congestive chill, at the Exchange hotel. She came to this city last Sunday evening from a visit to her son, Lyon G. Tyler, at Williamsburg, and was to have left on Monday morning to visit another son, Gardiner G. Tyler, at Sherwood Forest, the Tyler homestead. When called by a servant Monday she sent word to the hotel office that she was un- we'll and requested that her meals be sent to her room and continued to grow worse until death ended her sufferings.
 Mrs. Tyler leaves four children: Gard iner G. Tyler, Lyon G. Tyler, who is lege; Dr. Lackland Tyler and Mrs. Will liam Ellis, of Montgomery county. None of her children were with her. She al- ways made her home at the Exchange while in this city. A singular circum- stance is that she died on the same floor Gin the Ballard house, which is an annex of the Exchange), only a few rooms dis
 
 his last in 1859.
 Julia Gardiner Tyler, second wife of John Tyler, tenth president of the United States, was born on Gardiner's island, near East Hampton, N. Y., in 1920. She | was educated at the Chegary institute, New York city, and after a short time 1 spent in travel through Europe went to | Washington with her father in 1844. A | few weeks after their arrival they &C., | cepted an invitation from President Tv- | Ter to attend pleasure excursion down l the river on the war steamer Princeton. | The festivities on that occasion were sadly marred by the explosion of gun on the vessel causing loss of life. Among those killed was Miss Gardiner's father. His body was taken to the White House, and Miss Gardiner was thrown great deal into the society of tho president, owing to the peculiar circumstances at- tending her fathers death.
 l President Tylers first wife had dies shortly after he entered the White House, and the president paid Miss Gardiner marked attention, which resulted in their marriage in New York city, June 26, 1844. For the succeeding eight months of Pres ident Tyler's term she presided over the White House with tact, grace and dig nifty. After the 4th of March, 1S45, Mrs. l Tyler retired with her husband to the seclusion of their country place, "Sher- wood Forest" on the banks of the James river, Va. She remained in Virginia until after the civil war and then went to reside at her mothers residence on Cas- tleton hill, Staten Island. After several years residence there she removed to Richmond, Va., where she died. Mrs. Tyler was Roman Catholic in religion.
