 With Loaded RevoIvers In Their
 Hands.
 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dec. 22.-One of the most daring burglaries ever perpetratsd in this city came to light this morning. A grocery store situated on the corner of East Main and Water streets, occupied by the Village Store company, was broken into be- tween 4 and o'clock by smashing frols window and removing the look from the front door. A small cafe weighing about five hundred pounds was taken out and dragged through various streets to the north end of the town, over mile from the scene of the burglary. The burglary was commit ted within stone's throw of the second pre- cinct police station, and was discovered by an officer, who with others followed the tracks of the safe until they found 1t in the cellar of tine house occupied by Patrick Riel. On searching the house John Connolly and Edward Burns, two crooks, were found asleep in one room. Each had loaded rs. number of dynamite cartridges in their pos session. They were arrested together with Riel and his wife. The ssfe was not broken into. The police for some time past have been satisfied that Connolly and Burns were among the gang who have been committing recent burglaries, but they were unable to get any evidence against them. The prison ers belong in the west side of the town. A lady living opposite the store saw them take safe out, but thought they were em- ployed to do it.

That air passes through walls is proven by the dust marks seen on plastersd walls, or those that have been only white- washed and alabastined, indicating the spaces between the lathing caused by the dust being filtered from the air more be- tween the laths than on them.
 A new cement for securing iron into stone is described in some of the foreign papers. The cement is made by melting rosin and stirring in brick dust, which must be finely ground and sifted until sort of putty Is formed, which, however, runs easily while hot. In ueing the iron is set into the hole in the stone prepared to receive it and the melted putty poured in until the space Is filled; then, if desired, bits of bricks previ- eusly warmed, may be pushed into the mass, and little of the cement thereby saved. As soon as the whole is cool the iron will be firmly held to the stone, and the cement is quite durable and uninjured by the weather, while, unlike lead and sulphur, it has no in. iurious effect on the irou

 NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-John Rusk, aged twenty-three, son of Richard Rusk, was shot aud fatally wounded at Throgg's Neck, Westchester county, on Thursday night, by Thomas Hart, formerly policeman, but lately engaged as barkeepsr.

FANNY DAVENPORT.


 Whatever may have been said concerning the motif of ''La Tosca," critics agree that it is a most powerful drama. By Victor fen Sardou, the greatest dramatist of the day, 1t cannot be gainsaid but that an intense play will be presented by Miss Davenport at the Hyperion theater next Thursday night. Sardou is a master of construction and situ- ation, and "La Tosca" is said to be piquant with powerful and culnninative scenes.
 RIcE's ''coRsAIR."
 E. E. Rice's beautiful operatic burlesques, the "Corsair," will be seen at the Hyperion theater on Christmas day and night, and a it would be hard to find. While the scenery and the costumes shown in the ''Corsair'' are of the most gorgeous description, the merit and charm lie so much in these as in the re. finement of taste and the ssnse of harmony that have guided the selection even of small details.
 UNDER THE LASH.
 This exciting play will be the attraction at this week. It has been witnessed by large audiences during it's former visits to this city, and the patrons of the Grand will sure- ly give it cordial welcome.
 JULIA MARLowE.
 The return of Julia Marlowe cannot be other than most cordially welcomed. This young and talented actress has won an envi- able reputation. She will appear in three of Shakespeare's plays at Proctor's on the last half of the week.
 LOTTERY OF LOVE.
 Arthur Rehan's company will begin a three nights engagement at Proctor's this evening in Surprises of Divorce. This com- edy ran at Daly's Theater in New York for 1O5 nights as the Lottery of Love. It ran one year at the Vaudeville Theater, Paris, and was the piece-du-resistanoe of Coquelin during his visit to this country last winter. It is great comedy, beautifully staged, and will be done in masterful way by MT. Re- hans excellent company.

 LISBON, Dec. 22.-The man-of-war York town of the United States squadron of evo- lation had not arrived here up to noon to. day. Admiral Walker reports that her non- arrival is due to severe weather. The Chi oago exchanged salutes with the land hatter- ies, and Admiral Walker paid an official vis- it to the Portuguese officers. The latter subsequently, returned the visit. The squad ron will remain here ten days and will then go to the Mediterranean.
 The squadron behaved admirably. The vessels made the voyage under an easy head of steam in order to economize coal. No anxiety is felt for the Yorktown. Admiral Walker gives her two days in which to ar- rive. He thinks she may have had to put into Fayal, or possibly have met with a slight mishap. While anchoring the Chica- go snapped her chain and lost her big anchor. All the vessels showed good speed and coal endurance. The crews are well.
