the burglars at Robert Smiths House.
William Woods, who was arrested in
Philadelphia Tuesday week ON suspicion
of being concerned in the burglary at
Robert Smiths house, No. 1403 Rodney
street, this city, saturday night, was
given hearing at the Central station,
Philadelphia, yesterday week.
Mrs Arabella Angeline, who was an
inmate Of Mr.. Smiths house at the time
Of the burglary, was present at the hear
ing and positively identified the prisoner
as one of the burglars. When Woods saw
her he flushed and became very ner-
vous. She testified that Woods came to
the house two weeks ago and asked for
food, and she gave him breakfast. He
said he was an upholsterer, and was
gwen some work to do in the
house. He had with him man
called Amos Tucker. They were
allowed to sleep in the barn in
the rear OF the house. They were
discharged. Early on sunday morning
Tucker and a man called Harry" en-
tered the house and choked the witness
and her mother until they consented to
give up their money. Harry held the

and got the money from a trunk and
gave il 10 him Tucker also had her
mother BY the throat until the money
was secured. Mr., smith was awakened
and got up to see what was going on,
ana was struck on the head with u club
and knocked scnseless by a third bur-
glar. He recognized the voice Of Ills as
sailant as that of Woods.
Have you anything to say, Woods ~
asked the magistrate. 81 amt got
nuthin', 'eept that was not there" re-
turned the prisoner in a surly tone.
Woods was committed to await the ac-
ton Of the Wilmington authorities.
The prisoners capture was clever
piece of work When Sergeant Woods
tackled his man in a crowded street he
at first showed tight, and asked the olll-
Ger for his warrant, but was persuaded
TO so along peacefully.

A prominent physician in speaking
Monday of the hot weather and its
effects on the system, said the best way
to avoid the bad effects of the hot
weather is to reserve ones forces.
"When an extreme of any kind occurs
that we cannot control" he said, "the
best way to meet it is to modify our
own actions to correspond. Dress
lightly and comfortably, and take an
abundance OF rest. Go to bed early and
stay in bed as long as it is possible.
Even If you don't sleep you will be rest
ing, and this will help in resisting the
effects of general exhaustion produced
by the excessive heat. Avoid much
mental exertion, for this is even more
dangerous than physical exertion. As
to eating and drinking, let appetite be
the guide as to what food and drink
shall be taken, but take everything in
moderation. If you want ice-water
drink it, but don't take too much"
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals offers the following
suggestions for the treatment Of animals
during the heated term
Never ride on or after poor-looking
horse If you can help ii.
Don't tie your horses or dogs in hot
places.
Give your horses and dogs plenty OF
good water several times day.
Don't check your horses tightly. If
owners of cart and dray horses would
do away with the check rein they would
find their horses would be able to do
more work.
Don't stop horse cars or up grades.
Give your canary cool place, plenty
OF good water and variety of food.
Place him where he can see something,
and give him sometimes a little mirror
in which he can see himself. Take care
that neither sun nor lights dazzle him
The board of health has issued circu-
lars for public distribution containing
suggestions for preventing the spread OF
scarlet fever and diphtheria. The scarlet
fever circular says that "a person may
become i'll with fatal scarlet fever from
association with another with so mild
an attack of the disease as not to keep
| him in the house, much less in bed
The contagious matter is capable of re-
tanning its power to carry the disease
for year or more,
Air, food, clothing, sheets, blankets,
~ iVHN9, nulIt luIHltuTe, Joys, library
books, wall paper, curtains, domestic
animals and funerals are mentioned as
probable agents for spreading the dis
ease. Three or four weeks are named
as the time at which one who has been
i'll with scarlet fever may safely mingle
with other people. The beard recon-
mends isolation Of the patient as the
first principle.
The sick room should be well warmed
and ventilated by an open fireplace with
a fire or lamp in it, and all unnecessary
articles should be removed from the
room. Thorough disinfection of all dis
charges from the patient and articles
used in the sick room is strongly urged.
Pure air and an abundance of soap and
water are mentioned as the best pre-
ventives of the spread Of the disease.
The diphtheria circular contains similar
suggestions. 1t is advised that the rules
for the prevention of the disease be car
ried out under the direction of physicians
or Of the board of health.

Brown and Manager Brown, confident
Of securing an abundance of workmen,
told the strikers touse their own pleasure,
and that their demands for higher wages
could not be acceded to. With but few
exceptions the boys returned to their

experienced.

Mrs. Crane Asks for Divorce on the
Ground That She Was Compelled &c
Marry Her Husband.

LONDON, Aug l1.-Mrs. Walter Bey-
erly Crane, formerly Miss Alice Cooper
of New York, but more recently of
Paris, has brought an action in the di-
vorce division of her majesty, high
court Of justice for the annullment of
her marriage, on the ground that 1t was
brought about through force and duress.
The couple arc cousins.
In her complaint Mrs. Crane alleges
that while She was in London, prior to
her marriage, MIR. Crane invited her to
visit ST. Pauls Cathedral with him. She
accepted the invitation, but instead of
driving to 81. PauPs, Mr.. Crane took
her to the Church of ST. Brides, on
Fleet street. On the way thither, Mr..
Crane drew a revolver and threatened
that unless she married him he would
shoot her. Mr.. Cranes action was so
sudden and unexpected that she was
da2ed, and hardly knowing what she
was doing she entered st Brides and
went through a marriage ceremony with
him.
The plaintiff declares that the mar
rlage was never consummated. Mrs.
Crane further declares that the respon.
dent told a lawyer in New York that he
only married her for her money and as
he found out that she was not wealthy
he did not want her. Judgment on the
application will be rendered tomorrow.

APLUNGE THROUGH A BAR-ROOM

Cattle Dashes Through the sterets,
With Startling Resuits--Five Run in a
Restaurant and Then Run Out Again.
All Captured and One Killed.
The famous catastrophe of "a bull in
a china shop" came near being repeated
on Tuesday at Haywood's restaurant,
No. a West Fourth street, and only by
the most fortunate circumstance did the
elegant appointments Of the place escape
total demolition. In this instance the
animal that caused the havoc was multi
piled by five, and five steers plunged
into the restaurant and then plunged
out again, leaving in their wake, surpris-
ing as il may seem, marks of damage
that it will take only few dollars to
entirely repair.
AT an early hour Tuesday morning 90
steers, consigned TO James NJ. Thomas
of this city, were unloaded from b. g.
o. freight car at the foot of Shipley
street. The drove was collected together
and started up Shipley street when, just
as the cattle had safely crossed the rail-
road tracks three or four negro men,
early risers along "the coast rushed
out with shouts and yells that badly
frightened the strangers from Chicago
and sent them in mad gallop up the
street.
At Fourth street the drove separated,
five going towards Market street while
the rest went in the opposite direction.
Some men at Market street headed off
the five coming in that direction and
turning short around they made q break
for Haywood's restaurant Two dashed
up the side alley and the other three
plunged right into the wide open doors
OF the bar room and crossing the floor
joined their two fellows in the yard.
There was big commotion at once,
and the employees of the restaurant who
we're on hand cleaning up and getting
ready for the days business were terri
bly, frightened. One of the men in
charge Of the drove quickly followed
these five runaways, and by n iudicious
flank movement he succeeded in turn.

and starting them towards the street.
Right through the bar-room the fright

| double doors were wide open, and all
emerged into the street without max
ing scratch on the woodwork
or breaking any of the elegant
mirrors and fine plate glass with
which the handsome apartment is so
literally ornamented. The only damage
they inflicted was in the ward, which is
very narrow, with wall tables ON one
side and \ wire frame for flowers on the
other. In the wild scramble made by
the cattle to turn around in and escape
from this narrow enclosure three tables
were broken, three or four chairs re-
duced to kindlinr wood. the wire frame
bent and several flower pots smashed 10
atoms. The whole affair was over in n
few seconds. but it was awfully exciting

The Finding of Two skeletons Clears Up
Mystery of Nearly Half n Century.

Mystery OF Nthriy man htththry
MuNcIE, IND, Aug. lin the fall
of 1861 covered two-horse wagon, oc-
cupied by man and his wife, en- route
from Virginia for some place in the far
west, stopped in the dense woods where
now stands the pretty suburbs Of Boyce-
ton. Two days later, some one passing
by noticed the horses wandering off.
Capturing them he returned to the
wagon but found no one there. A
search was made but the man and
woman were not found.
The excitement was intense for time
though 1t finally died away, and the
mysterious disappearance of the people
was never explained. Their names
were not known and no information
concerning them could be obtained.
Yesterday small boy found the skele-
tons of two persons, undoubtedly those
of a man and woman, and brought them
to this city. After the boy told where
he found them, on top of gravel bank
in secluded place, the strange disap-
pearance of the two people 40 years ago
was recalled, and it is the general opin-
ion that the skeletons are those of the
man and woman who so mysteriously
disappeared, and that they were MUIR
dcred.

THE MARY MORGAN INQUEST
Verdict Arsenical Poisoning by Some
Person or Persons unknown--A Arsenic
Found in the GirI,s SInmnnh.


CHESTER, Pa. Aug. 5.-The mystery
attending the sudden death of Mary
Morgan and George w. Lewis, the
adopted daughter and son of Isaac
Lewis of South Chester, is now deeper
than ever. The coroncrs jury met
again tonight in the borough hall and
listened to the testimony of DIR. J. II.
Crothers, who stated that arsenic in suf-
ticient quantity TO cause death had been
fonnd in the stomach Of the little girl,
whose body was eXhumed early yester-
day morning from its grave, in Mount
Hope cemetery, Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis
and Miss Ella Lewis, the parents and
sister of the deceased children, were
again examined by District Attorney
llannum and each positively asserted
that no poison of any nature was kept
in the house or purchased by them at
any time. William Massey, colored
man, whose truck patch adjoins the rear
yard Of the Lewis residence, was called
and questioned as to whether he had
sprinkled Paris green or any other bug
exterminator upon his potato vines, but
he denied ever having done so. There
was nothing in the evidence to cast sus-
picion upon the parents, and the Jury
were nonplussed. The only positive
feature was that arsenic was found in
the stomach of each child, but no mo-
tive for murder could be found. After
a long deliheration the jury rendered a
verdict~)f arsenical poisoning by some
person or persons unknown. District
Attorney llannum proposes to continue
his investigation in the matter, in the
hope of unraycling the mystery.
