A PICKPOCKEr.

John Brown Steals a Watch from
 . Westville Man-CleverIy Caught.
 John Brown, who has been Tn this coun- try but three weeks. has got hims into very serious trouble.
 He was coming up from New York on the Continental of the New Haven Steamboat line, Saturday, as a deck pas senger. Another deck passenger was Adolph E. Freedman of Stone street, West vile, who had been to New York and made a few purchases for his friends. Among the things Freedman had purchased In New York was little silver watch, which he intend d for his daughter. He was sit ting on the deck and dozing of when Brown deftlysremoved the watch from the vest pocket of the indulgent father. In doing so Brown snapped the chain which was attached to the watch.
 Freedman shortly after felt for the watch, but there was nothing on the end of the chain. He went at once to the wstchman of the boat and the captain, and the three searched Brown, but failed to find the watch.
 Freedman, however. was certain that Brown had the watch, and when the boat reached the dock, he informed Officer Higgins of his loss and pointed out Brown. Officer Higgins followed Brown, who lodged into the yard of Sargent's factory. He was seen by Wstchman William Falby S special constable, who asked him what he was doing. He told a plausible story and the watchman said nothing. When the watchman got to the gate he found Officer Higgings and Freedman, who told the story of the stolen watch. Falby went back and arrested Brown for trespass. Brown was taken to Station No. 2.
 A search was made for the watch and it was found in Sarsent's yard not six feet from where Brown had been standing. It was wrapped in an old rag which had been lying around. A letter was also found with the watch, the signature to which was found in Browns pocket.
 MT. Brown will inspect ;he makeup of the Whalley avenue jail for few months. and he may have @ chance to see how the building at Wethersfield looks inside.

THE COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS-
Granite Cutters to Hold a
 Conference.


THE PRESIDENT IN ROCHESTER,. He Attends Church Morning and Evening-Several Thousand People Greet Him-Detectives Engaged by the Local Committees Are in Con.
 stant Attendance.
 ROCHESTER, May 29.-Notwithstandin the skies were overcast and threatening the streets in the vicinity of President Harrison's temporary abode were thronged all day with people who followed his movements with the Hveliest interest. The president had an early breakfast with Sec retary Noble, Colonel Ernest and George W. Bod, after which he attended services at the Brick Presbyterian church. This edihce is on the same street as the hotel and only few blocks away. Several thousand people were gathered along the route, but in deference to the day they made no demonstration as the presi- dent walked by with Dr. Hovey. followed by Secretary Noble, Colonel Err nest, General Reynolds, ex-Congressman Baker, Congres smen Greenleaf, Curtis and Henderson. The church was elaborately decorated with flowers, tropical plants and the national colors. It was packed to the doors and hundreds of people were un- able to get in and remained outside during the entire service. Rev. Dr. Taylor, the pastor, oficiated and preached on the sub jeot of the Temptations of Christ" The president lunched privately at the hotel and then went ont for walk with Colonel Ernest. He went only short distance, however. as the people gathered around him in such numbers that it was deemed best to return. The president got along better latterly when he went out for drive. In the evening special services were held at the Central Presbyterian church, ,swhere Presi- dent Harrison and Governor Flower lis- tened to an impressive sermon by the pas tor, Rev. H. H. Stebbing. The church was beautifully decorated and was crowded with Grand Army men.
 The streets tonight are thronged with people from out of town. The indications are that there will be 50,000 people in the city tomorrow. Detectives engaged by the local committees are in constant at tendance on the president. It is novel experience for him to be guarded in this way and he is not altogether pleased at the innovation, as he does not regard it as nec- essarv

IS IN THE MAIN GOOD.

The Sanitary Condition of the Na-
 ttonal Capitol as Reported by
 Experts Number of Minor
 Recommendations Suggested.
 WASHINGTON. May 29.-The experts em- p!oyed to investigate the sanitary condi-
 tion of the capitol-Dr. John s. Billings of
 the surgeon-generaps office and Colonel
 George Waring, jr., of Newport, R. l.
 have handed in their report. It shows that
 the elaborate appliances for mechanical
 heating and ventilation are in the main
 good and satisfactory, though number of
 minor recommendations are suggested,
 mainly in the senate wing, which in this
 respect has not been brought so near to
 the modern standard the house wing has. The ventilation now meets the require ments of all conditions, except that of over crowding during interesting debate. The drainage of the building, it's sewers and its plumbing appliances are, however, very defective and faulty. They combine near ly all the defects of the early stages of the art practically unredeemed by it's modern improvements. If the capitol were pri- vate building and were in it's present con- dition as to it's plumbing the board of health of the district would probably order it closed as 8 dangerous nuisance It is to be remembered, however, that huge fans are constantly at work forcing fresh air and drawing foul air out SO that there is not much chance for the accumulation of what is called "sewer gas," but its production must be constant; | and the condition is one that would not be l tolerated in a prison or an asylum. This | is the first time that any human being has known the character, condition and ar | rangement of this work. The experts recommend the renewal of the entire plumbing except the water supply pipes. | The cost of this is estimated at under | &7O 000

AT THE NEW HAVEN HOUSE.

Arthur Bleis, Who is Wanted for
 Perjury in New York, Arrested in
 This Cfty-A Large Swindle.
 Inspector Steers of New York yesterday telegraphed to this city that Arthur Bleis, who was in this city, was wanted there on bench warrant for perjury. Detective Reilly learned that Bleis was stopping at the New Haven house with his family Detective Rielly did net arrest him, but gave him the choice of waiting at the su- perintendent's office or being placed under police surveillance. He chose the former and waited at the superintendent's office until Detective Won Gortchenn of New York arrived on the 5:4S train. The pris- oner was taken back on the 6:15 train.
 The case on which Bleis is wanted is 6 very peculiar one. c. Spiegel, Broad street, New York, liquor dealer, insured in eight fire insurance companies. A short time ago his place caught fire and the damage was about $37 ,0OO False papers, it is alleged, were made out for four of the insurance companies, and Bleis, who was Spiegels general manager, made affidsvits to the four statements.
 Spiegel was held on four indictments, but Bleis had left town and could not be found until yesterday. The warrant was issued by District Attorney Nicoll.
 Bieis is very we'll appearing and well hammered man of about forty eight years.

TO HOLD A CONFERENCE.

Influential Members of the Granite
 Cutters' Union to Discuss the Lock-
 Out-An Attempt to be Made to
 Secure tho A assistance of Bricklayers
 and MasOns.
 BOSTON, May 29.-It is proposed by some of the influential members of the Granite Cutters union to hold confer ence, either in Boston or Concord, N. H 1, of all stone cutters unions affected by the present lockout. They believe that bring ing the officers of the various unions to- gether will enable them to more success fully combat the New England Granite Manutacturers' association. An attempt is to be made by the Boston branch of the Granite Cutters union to secure the as- sistance of bricklayers and stonemasons unions, thinking that these men can inter- rupt building operations as to seriously cripple the manufacturers if they should furnish non- union cut stone to building contractors.
 The officers of the Boston branch ridi- cule the statement that the granite manu- lecturers have won the fight because quar- rymen are returning to work, and they say that the union's cause has not been lost even if every quarryman in New England goes back.

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.

MT. Stewards Bill for the Free Coin-
 age of Silver Will be the Chief Sub-
 ject In the Senate-The Options Bill
 in the House.
 WASHINGTON, May 29.-The chief sub- ject for the co, Alteration of the senate during the cominA week will be MT. Stewards bill for thesree coinage of gold and silver. It has precedence over all other subjects after the morning hour. MT. Sherman's speech in opposition to what he calls the silver heresy will prob- ably occupy the whole of Tuesday's ses- sion. The debate will be continued Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after which the matter will probably go over until after the Minneapolis convention. Ihe fact that eight senators Qncluding Messrs. Teller and WolcotD are delegates to that convention will probably act as stay Of proceeding in the case of silver, and it is even question able whether the final decision will be reached until after the democratic con vention at Chicago. The committee on appropriations is at work on the sundry civil appropriation bill and may have it ready to take the place of the silver bill when the latter is laid aside temporarily. It is expected that the house will now make better progress on the appropriation bills.
 A struggle for precedence will take place between the anti options bill and the legis- ative, executive and judicial appropria- ion bills. Either the anti-options or the egislative bill if taken up would occupy he house for the remainder of the week.
