for Three Years.

At meeting of the members of the Con
eregatlon Beth Ahaba last night Rev. Ed
ward y. Calish, Of Peoria, ILL.,, was elected min
lister for term Of three years from September

Mr.. Calish will probably be one Of the youngest
ministers in the city. He was born in Toledo, o.,
June 90, 1865, and Is consequently only twenty
five years Of age. When only six years old his
father moved 70 Chicago, settling there Just ono
month before the disastrous cOntlagration OF
1871, in which the entire family lost al they
poasessed. Four years later the father
died from the result Of the exposure on this
occasion. The son obtained position In
n dry goods house, where he remain
cd n year. He then went 70 the Orphans
Home In Cleveland, o., and during the three
years he was there received n thorough ground
ing In the rudiments Of education. Here he won
a scholarship In the Hebrew Union College OF
Cincinnati, which he entered in 1879. He gradu-
ated at this institution and az the University oi
Cincinnati. In May, 1887, two months before no
graduated. Mr. Calish received a call 10 PEORIA
ILL., where he now is and where he in January
1890 welded Miss Wallner.
The secretary Of the congregation mere yester-
day received a telegram from DIR. Wise, presi-
dent OF tho Hebrew Union College OF Cincinnati

sAFE.BLowEasAr WORK HERE.
A Neat Job In the once of Woodward &
son-stoIen Tools Used.

The safe of Messrs. Woodward Il Son,
lum mber-dealers, corner Ninth and Byrd
streets, was blown open some time "Wednesday
night or early yesterday morning. Between
sixty and seYenty-hve dollars in cash were
stolen.
A few minutes before O'Clock yesterday morn,
ing when the clerk opened the Office he f0una
the safe-door ajar and its contents scattered
about the floor. Mr.. Woodward was telephoned
and gave word 20 touch nothing until he arrived.
There was drilled into the one-quarter-lnch
iron door Of the safe hole about the SIZE Of
lead-penciL il IL supposed that powder Wss
poured into this and being touched on forced tne
lock apart, Two pieces OF the clamp used IN
holding the drill were found on the noor. Inc
Job was done In true cracksman style. Inc Dur
glars gained admittance by forcing tho byTu-
street door OF the ofice. The other door was IeII
open and the second-stOry window was also
found open. IL " thought that LOOKOUT was
kept from this. Two or three men at least must
have taken part In the robbery. Some regis
tered bonds In the safe were not disturbed.
UsED STOLEN TOOLS.
The tools used in drilling the safe are sup
posed 70 have been stolen from the blacksmith
shop OF the Haxall- CrenshaW Mills, which was
robbed the same night. John Mayo, the coioIea
man IN charge Of the shop, said yesterday that
between IL and O'Clock Wednesday two white
men stopped In for awhile, and mRde several
inquiries. They asked for water, and went on
back in the shop through the wheelwrght de,
partmont I'm the direction pointed out, but did
not drink. Mayo describes one OF the men as
clean shaved, light complexioned, spare built,
about 5 feet S inches In height, weight about
140 pounds. lie had on dark clothes, black
slouch hat, dark-bluo short and Dox-coat HIS
age seemed to be about twcnty-four or twenty
1ve.
The other man he took 10 be twenty-eight or
thirty years OF age, little stouter than the
other, his weight being probably. 1JO pounds
He had on a dark mixed bOx-cOat, well worn,
striped common pants, black Derby hat, also Wen
worn and dirty looking. His moustsche was lght
colored and very heavy. His shirt was dark
brown, and his complexion flushed.
EYED HIS SAFE.
These descriptions tally exactly with those OF
two men seen on Franklin street yesterday
morning by Mr.. Watt. They attracted his after
ton before he heard OF the robbery at Wood
wards by the steady manner In which they eyed
his safe.
The tools stolen from the shop at the Haxall-
Crenshaw Mills consist Of two braces, loI
OF bits. and other implements used in boring
iron. The lock on the door had been nicely
picked.
These two men are thonght 10 be the same
ones who have been blowing safes In other
cities In Virginia and North Carolina. On all
former occasions they left their tools behind
This time they took them along, which makes
tho police fear they may attempt another similar
fGl here.
