A YOUNG JACK SHEPPARD.
He Is Only Twelve Years Old, but an Expert
in the Burglar Line.


ELIZABETH, n. j., Oct. 15.-[Specidl. J.
Henry Reuter-, aged II, broke into the house
of John Fife shortly after midnight to-day,
ransacked the lower apartments while the
family slept and secured pocketbook with
SC in it. He bought revolver for part of
the money. Mr.. Fife thought a pro-
fessional cracksman had done the job, as
everything was scattered about the floors,
and two panes of glass were cut out of a
window, through which the youthful thief
crawled into the house. He was arrested,
and accused Isaac Reynolds, aged 16, of
doing the robbery, but he had not gone out
of his home that night
This is not Reuters first exploit, as some
months agoh he stole horse worth 5000 from
a Junk dealer and sold it to butcher for
So so and bought ice cream and cigarettes
for this money. The butcher was indicted
for buying the horse and tried, but a jury
acquitted him. The police say the prisoner
is a second Jack Sheppard. They have
pumped out of him that he committed half
a dozen robberies during the past few
months. He will be sent to the Reform
School.

Shore Lined With Wrecks.
LONDON, Oct. 15.-Despite the announce
ment yesterday that the gale which had
been raging over England, Wales, the south
of Scotland and ireland for the past few
DAYS was abating, this morning showed that
the fury of the tempest has not yet ex-
hausted itself With the rising of the sun
to-day the storm resumed its awful violence
Reports received from the channel ports
agree in saying that fearful weather is pre-
vailing in the channel. The Boulogne
packet boats are unable to put to sea, and
even if they succeeded in getting outside
the harbor, it is believed that they could not
weather the gale. All along the coast the
beach is strewn with wreckage, and at
Dover especially large quantity of ma
terial, evidently belonging to one or more
wrecked ships, has been washed ashore

At Washington Mr.. Won Munam week
ago received a letter from the Minister, in
which the latter spoke of the operation he
expected to have performed, and expressed
the hope that he would pull through it sue
cessfullv.
Count Ludwig Won Arco-Valley was in the
47th year of his age at the time of his death.
He leaves three brothers, one of whom is in
the diplomatic service, and two sisters one
of whom is married to Lord Acton, of Eng
land. The deceased Minister was in the Red
Cross Association service during the Franco
German war. While so engaged he was cap
tured by the enemy and came near being
shot by them as spy, but was saved
through the intervention of NJ. Theirs,
afterward President OF the French Re-
public.
Soon after the war he went into the Ba-
varian diplomatic service, and was Secre-
tary of the Legation to the Vatican at Rome.
Later he entered the Imperial German serv-
ice as diplomat, and in 1873 was Secretary
of Legation at Vienna. During his incum-
bency of the office he married the actress

diplomatic service. 1twas only short space
of time, however, before h separated from
his wife, after which he was again received
into favor by his Government, and served
at different times as Secretary of the Lega-
tions at Madrid and Paris, and as Secretary
of the German Embassy to the King of Italy.
After some service at Rome he was ap-
pointed Consul General at Cairo, where he
remained Is months, till the spring of 1888,
when he received the appointment Of En-
voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenlpo-
tentiary to the United States, which office
he held at the time of his death.

A CRAVE MISTAKE.

Some people, for the sake of few cents
difference in price, buy Whiskies that they
know nothing about. Isn't it worth the
difference to get Whisky sold under sworn
guarantee of purity? Klein's celebrated
"Silver Age" and "Duquesne" are both ac-
companied with the distiller's affidavit
certifying that they are unadulterated.
Physicians everywhere prescribe these
brands, and leading hospitals use them ex-
clusively. "Silver Age" sells at 81 80 and
'Duquesne" at 81 25 per full quart. Once
used, always used. Goods expressed any

Legal Prohibition of the Saloon" was
the subject treated bv Rev. c. H. Phillips,
of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church.
Of Washington. The Government should
no longer sanction traffic that was in COM
pact with the devil and in convent with
hell. Bishop Gaines. of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church, held that if the
Southern colored people broke up the
whisky traffic they would do as much good
as the Northern men who broke up slavery.
The liquor traffic was doing more harm to
the negroes than to the white men, because
the latter got better quality of whisky.

Rev. DR.. J. W. Haley, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, Illinois, announced that
he was temperance man in spite of his un-
fortunate appearance. (He had a very

outlaw; it had no right to existence. Rev,
F. II, HosS, Methodist Episcopal Church
South, of Nashville. said he did not believe
the church, as a church, should ally itself
with any political party. Rev. S. NJ. Grif-
fifth, of North Dakota, told how prohibition
had been secured in that State.
John H. Lille, of England held that Wes-
ley's rules obliged ministers to be total alb
stinence men, and he insisted on that propo-
sition, notwithstanding Mr.. Atkinson's dis
senting voice.
ATKINSON BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
Mr.. Atkinson, NJ. P, got the floor to him
self and insisted that Mr.. Lille misquoted
Wesley; that he prohibited only dram
drinking. He (Mr. Atkinson) was as good
Bible Christian as anybody, and he was a
Primitive Methodist, too.
Mr.. Atkinson went on to speak of the
Primitive Methodists in connection with
