A Portion of 1t Is Recovered by Police
Officers.
In the early part Of this month Joseph
Leleverie, who for ten years had been in the
employ of George III. Fay & Co., merchants
doing business on Battery street. and Albert
Ducat, a colored man, were arrested upon
two charges of having burglariously entered
the premises of Tay & Co. After a pre-
liminary hearing they were held for trial
upon one accusation, and the other is still
pending against them in the lower court.
1t was shown that Leleverie had served in
several capacities in the store and had be-
come familiar with the class of goods con-
tanned therein and the various modes of
ingress and egress. He had been in the
habit of going through pablic-house on
Front street at night, and then by scaling a
fence reach the roof OF a shed, from which
by means of ladder he could reach a rear
windows through which he entered the
premises in which he was employed. Once
inside, he could help himself TO solder,
faucets, and many articles used by tin
smiths and plumbers. These he would pass
to Ducat, his confederate, who would dis
pose of the stolen property.
Since the arrest, Officers Eagan and
Richter made numerous attempts to recover
some OF the stolen property, which they
had reason to suspect had come into the
possession of one Z. Ribolsi, who was en-
gagged in business on Broadway. They be-
came so thoroughly convinced that Ribolsi
had unlawfully come into the possession of
the goods acquired by the burglars, that
they arrested him on charge of having
received stolen property. knowing the same
to have been stolen. Yesterday thew
learned that Rib0lsi had some time ago
rented a basement in a house on Broadway,
and yesterday they visited the place and
found large amount of property, which
has been identified as that of Tay & Co.
This was seized and turned over to the

Brooklyn wonders next season, it Is
said, is one of the youngest pitchers
in the list of noted professionals
He was born in New Jersey twenty
years ago, stands #. 4 in. high. and
weighs lG0 pounds. Although he has been
with a prominent baseball organization
but one year, his pitching with New Ha-
ven has placed him alongside the crack
twirlers Of the National and Players
leagues. His first work of note was with
the Elmiras, of the Central league, two
years ago, when he attracted attention by
making the Newarks hustle.
Powers, of the Jersey City club, became
interested in the young twirler and gave
him a chance with the Jersey Citys, but
Doran failed 10 make good impression
and was released after he had played a few
games He next went TO New Haven, but
he was rather wild and did not develop any
remarkable twirling talent until the pres
ent season, when he began pitching a very
accurate and puzzling ball He has re-
markable control OF the sphere for a left
handed pitcher, and his throwing is not
only swift but intelligent also.

Iimington to Bay d'Espoir, a distance OF
$50 miles At the latter point he hoped to
catch a steamer for ST. John, but in this
be was disappointed Thereupon he de-
cided to cover the intervening $50 miles on
foot. An Indian and a white man accom-
panied him. For the first few days the
party made good progress, but trouble be-
gan when they approached the mountains
"One night" said Mr.. Phillips, while
telling the story recently, 1--WE had crawled
into our snowbound bed at the foot of
mountain when we were startled by hear
ing peculiar Kissing noise, followed by
terrific roar and crash after crash, until we
we're almost stunned by the awful concus-
sion. Hurrying from our hole in the snow
we beheld sight that for a time took from
US the power to move. To the left of us,
and within fifty yards, the snow was piled
up over one hundred feet high, and imme-
diately to the right of US occurred as we
gazed the most wonderful scene l ever be-
held. A mountain of snow, glistening in
the moonlight, came laundering down the
Ice covered sides of the cliff, carrying along
with it huge trees and all kinds of dead
wood and shrubs. Fortunately for us we
had chosen for our sleeping place the en-
trance to narrow gorge, and so escaped
the gigantic snow slide"
Later on wolves struck their trail. The
country was full of deer and cartridges,
but the brutes seemed to banker after
human flesh. DAY after day." remarked
Mr.. Phillips, "they followed us, sometimes
creeping up within a hundred yards, and
at other times peeping over the hill tops,
with their great green eyes blazing with
hungry anticipation. Deer after deer we
killed and left behind without touching,
hoping to thus keep the wolves from at
lacking US, and all this time they became
holder and holder, gradually coming closer
to US. As they came to each slain deer we
would hear them savsgely snarling and
fighting among themselves, and have no
doubt that the pack was greatly di-
unfinished by these fights, the old legend of
the survival of the fittest being very nicely
illustrated"
twenty-five days after leaving his mill
Mr. Phillips reached st. John. He had
covered COO miles on snowshoes, carrying
all the while pack weighing forty-fye
pounds.
