A SHARP BURGLAR
How He Shielded Himself With \ womaulls
Form and Made His Fscnpe

How He Shielded Himself With q womanss
Form and Made His Escnpe.
This morning. few minutes before o'clock.
there was exciting scene in the fruit store
of Leonardo Chara, No. SOL 4 street north
west A negro burglar who entered the place
was saved from being killed or badly wounded
only by his own shrewdness.
The I>egro smashed the glass and entered the
store. The noise aroused Chara and his wife
and they watched the mans movements until
the latter got near the rear Of the store Then
Clara raised a double-barreled shotgun and
called to the burglar to throw mp his hands.
The command was obeyed and then Chars
told his wife TO 20 get a policeman. She threw
wrap over her head and started out In
order to reach the FROM door she had to pas
the negro. When she got near him he grabbed
her and backed out to the front door, holding
Mrs. Chara toward the muzzle Of the gun. In
the scuiile Mrs. Chara's ear was injured
After getting out the front door the negro
made good time, soon getting out Of sight.
MIR. Chara says he could have shot the burglar
after he reached the street, but he did not
think the law would justify HIM in doing 50.
The matter was reported TO the police. and
efforts are being made to ascertain something
concerning the burglars identity.

the Progress OF the Work.
The annual meeting OF the stockholders q
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany for the election Of directors was held 10

The election resulted in the choice Of the old

Henry Hurt William r. Riley, George A. Nc
lllhenny, George I. Dunlop. Archibald II.
Lowery, John q. Parke and John r. Mclean.
President Hurt made his annual report 20 the
stockholders. II was quite o lengthy docu-
ment and was devoted largely to a considera-
ton of the work OF cabling the avenue road
and the 18th street branch and relsying the
tracks In discussing his report with . STAR
reporter later Mr.. Hurt said that
the principal item in il that would DO
OF interest 20 the public generally was the g.
snranee that the new cable system would be in
running order by the lst Of next August This
was conservative estimate. for the road may
be m operation before that time.
The work Of track construction" continued
Mr. Hurt was begun on MAY II and was
pushed with much haste as was consistent
with good work. All the tracks are now COM
pleted with the exception OF the terminals in
Georgetown and at the Navy Yard and the short
spur track that runs from the foot Of the
Capitol TO the Baltimore and Ohio station
The work on the power house was begun
June l. and, while Il will not be completed by
that time. the contract calls for IL 20 be under

Owners OF Property Who Today Contributes
TO the District Treasury.
Among the many warrants issued from the
Police Court for failure 10 remove snow from
sidewalks none were directed toward persons
in charge of public buildings or parks. but they
were all against the owners or agents Of private
property. Several OF the warrants were re-
turned to the Police Court this morning.
Mr.. Bushrod Robinson told the Judge that
the house in his case had just been purchased
and he admitted that the snow had not been
cleaned from the sidewalk. At the same time
he thought there were other persons in the
neighborhood who should be looked after, az
he said there were several vacant lots and the
walks about them had not been cleaned.
Mr. Robinson paid his 80 fine and then Mr.
4. j. Hannah came In. As in the other case,
his excuse was not satisfactory TO the court
ana similar fine was paid. The only excuse
the judge takes is a clean sidewalk.
Mr.. w. W. Dansnhower forfeited O. and Mr..
A. Saltzstein paid that much fine.

Love and Revenge In the sous.r

Father Ohrwalder, the Austrian missionary
who recently escaped from captivity among
the Mahdists tells thrilling story of how the
original Mahdi came to die like Holfernes. by
the hands Of Soudanese Judith. The father of
the woman who slew the Mahdi was n respect
able citizen Of Khnrtoom. When the city was
captured the dervishes butchered his Younger
children and enslaved his wives, and seized and
divided his property. The lighter, a girl of
unusual beauty, was taken by the Mahdi to be
an inmate of his harem. The Mahdi, although
known to the general body of his followers as
an ascetic, really led licentious life. and usu-
ally selected the moro beautiful captives as an
addition to his numerous wives. The Young
woman pretended to submit without a muir
muir, but she entertained deep feeling of re-
venge for the fate Of the father and his
Opportunity offering. she poisoned q cooling
drink. which the Mahdi drank with fatal result
The cause OF his death was detected and the
young woman was subjected to horrible tor

Shelter for the Animals.

Agent Key Of the Humane Society said 10 Q
STAR reporter this morning that the society hsd
inaugurated war against persons for not fur
nishing proper shelter for animals during the
bad weather. Some people who own horses or
COWS, said Mr.. Key, provide sheds in the fields,
and many of the sheds are of such character
that the animals are not protected from the
cold winds. "All the society wants, /" said Mr..
Key, lis decision to what is the necessary
shelter" Several warrants have been issued
and Judge Kimball will hear the cases this week.
Agent Pain had a case in court today, the
defendant being Mr.. Daniel F. Mockabee, who
lives in the county. 1t was shown that there
was a good place Of shelter on the premises for
the two cows and Mr.. Mockabee feeds them
twice day and lets them run in the field during
the day.
The charge was dismissed
