A NOTED CROOK.
Thought to Have Burglarized the Jef

Thought to Have BurgIarized the JEFF
freys' House in 1his City.
On the night of Dec. 4, the residence
of Charles II Jeffreys, 6s Prospect street.
was broken into aud thoroughly ran
sacked. The entrance was effected by
prying open rear window and was ac-
complished during the absence of the
family at church. The work was done by
an experienced man and the thorough
ness with which the interior was searched
showed signs Of an old hand at the bust
ness.
Detective Parker was at once notified
and after investigating the premises
came to the conclusion that the job had
been done by AN old time crook by the
name of Herbert.
He followed up the clue and found that
Herbert had escaped from the Massachu-
setts State Prision where he had been
immured for term Of fifteen years for
burglary, and promptly notified the
police OF the surrounding towns To keep
a sharp lookout for the man.
From the Jeffrey's residence the burg
lar stole large quantity Of jewelry and
three punches of keys, the latter includ-
ing keys to every door in the house aud

On Friday of last week Herbert was
arrested in Boston by Officer Hensey of
Station arM Detective Parker was at
once notified. He went TO Boston yes
terday and found that Herbert had in his
possession when arrested the three
punches OF keys stolen from the house III
this city. When accused Of the burglary,
however, Herbart denied having had any
thing to do with IL.
Peter Herbert is u man about 35 or 40
wears old. He fret came TO the notice of
Detective Parker in 1880 when n house
was entered in this city and u quantity of
diamonds were stolen. lie was traced TO
Fall River by the detective and was ar
rested there in 1880. but as he was wanted
in Massachusetts for a similar job he was
turned over to the authorities Of that
State. and was sentenced TO a fifteen
years term at the Massachusetts, state
prison.
On October "a, 1855 Herbert escaped
from the prison and was thought to be in
Canada up to the present. time. His pc
culiar methods of wor., ng were conspic-
uous when the Jeffreys residence was
burglarizsd aud Detective Parker came
To the immediate conclusion that the
man had resumed operations in the East.
During the past two weeks jobs OF a
similar character done in the same peou-
liar manner have occurred in Worcester
aud Springfield and the prompt arrest of
Herbert in Boston will relieve the COM
munity

Towns Depopulated by a Mad Scramble
for the New Fields.
DENVER, Dec. 22.-One Of the greatest
gold excitements since the days of 40 is
at present attracting the attention of the
entire west, and thousands from Arizona,
New Mexico, Southern Colorado and
Utah are rushing into the new fields.
The excitement is unbounded aud the
towns along the Denver and Rio Grande
are almost depopulated. Nearly three
thousand people are at the diRRlngs and
some have been made wealthy in a day.
The location of the mines has been kept
n secret but il is now learned that they
are most accessible from Durango aud
Dolores.
It is said that the Denver and Rio
Grande road is already surveying line
and tons of provisions are continuously
forwarded.
Nuggets of coarse gold have been re-
ceived here, ranging in weight from ten
to fifteen ounces, aud are similar to these
discovered in California gulcb at the time
OF the Leadville excitement.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December 22.-
This afternoon contradictory reports
are in circulation regarding Mr.. Blalne's
condition.
The statement is made on the authority
of an intimate friend of the ex-secretary
that the sick man is slowly but surely
sinking, and that the hope which has
borne up the members Of the family has
given way to resignation, and they have
realized that Mr.. Blaine cannot long sur
vive.
He Is so week that he is unable TO move
in bed without the help of the nurses,
and the greater part of the time appears
to be in stupor.
Occasionally he brightens up aud tries
% talk with those about him but he soon
sinks back almost exhausted by the eff
fort.
Mrs. Blaine now spends all her time in
the sick chamber. refusing to leave
there, while Miss Hattie Blaine and Mrs.
Damrosch are almost constantly in at

A fruitless search for his father
IL is reported he was at the Offices OF
his brokers in New York aud drew all OF
hls money, but little can be learned.
When he visited the offices in New
York the aged clergyman seemed rather
preoccupied and did not appear as bright
as usual
He stated. when he drew the money,
that he was going abroad never TO re
turn aud intimated that II anyone called
for him that would be tue answer TO give.
From this action IL is surmised that
while temporarily insane he has at
tempted foreign trip. lie had con-
siderable sum OF money, aud 10 IN possible
that he has been robbed.
Inquiry has been made at the offices of
all the steamship lines but nothing can
be learned OF the missing man and IL is
not thought that he embarked on any
steamer there.
IL is possible that he may have gone TO
Boston with the idea OF taking n steam
shin there aud a search will be made IN
that CITY also.
For some time past his relatives have
feared insanity, AS the scandal i'm his
church aud his subsequent resignation
constantly proved on his mind.
The search is being continued to-day
and the police ia all the large cities have
been notified.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Mr Cleveland ap-
peared at his Offices in the Mills building
Yesterday morning accompanied by Supt.
Byrnes. The incident was variously COM
mented upon. Mr.. Cleveland said that
he had nothing to say concerning the
matter. Supt. Byrnes also declined to
speak further than to say that his pres
euce as an escort to Mr.. Cleveland did not
concern the public, aud was of no interest
whatever To outsiders.
Two explanations, however, were given
for the event one by Mr.. Cleveland's
friends and the other by Supt. Byrnes's
friends The first was TO the effect that
the supern endent of the police depart
ment had offered to Mr.. Cleveland the
services of detective to be constantly
with him until be starts for Washington.
This offer was not made. 1T was said. be-
cause the slightest apprehension was felt
concerning the welfare of the President
elect
IL was more the result of a desire To
avoid taking the slightest chance that
Mr.. Cleveland might be molested by
stray cranks, either Oh the street or at
his home Mr.. Cleveland's friends said
that he had declined to accept the super
intendent's offer, rs he felt that he was
still n private citizen and should be
treated as such.
The other statement was. that notwith-
standing Mr.. Cleveland's wishes in the
matter, one of Supt. Byrnes's men will
not he far of, no matter where the Presi-
dent elect is, whether in New York or at
Lakewood.
