De Lesseps' Sentence to be AnnuIIed.

PARIS, June 6-L'Eclair states that the
court of cessation, to which Charles
Lesseps and associates appealed from the
sentence passed upon them for corrup-
tion in the management of the affairs of
the Panama Canal Company, will annui
the sentences, and order the release of
the defendants. This statement is in
accord with the reports current for some
time to the effect that grave errors just
flying the annulment of the sentences
have developed in connection with the
prosecution of the Panama cases.

Regarding the Gold reserve.

WASHINGTON, June 6-The Star says
"President Cleveland's statement as to
the time when he proposes to call con-
gress together and the reasons which will
lead him to do so, is clearly lnterpreta
BILE as indicating a determination on his
part to continue using the gold reserve to
the extent necessary, and not 10 issue
bonds. He desires the full gravity of the
situation to be apparent at the time OF
the meeting of congress, 30 the egisla-
tive branch of the government shall have
the duty pressing upon them to correct
the laws protecting fnances.'

HE WAS AFTER CHICKENS,
He Captured the Fowls. hut an Omcer
Captured Him.

Policeman w. T. Anderson of the Ana
costa sub-station had a tiresome duty to
perform yesterday when he made an arrest
OF an alleged negro burglar. Several nights
ago long-armed burglar visited the hen
merry of Mr.. Tracy in Good Hope Park and
carried OF ten valuable chickens. There
were no loose feathers found about the
place. nor were there any blood stains, SO
that the officers were of the opinion that
the fowls were carried of alive. Their
opinion In this regard was soon verified,
for the owner OF the fowls found them
where negro named William H. West
had sold them. Then Policeman Anderson
started out to find West. The latter kept
away from his home, and yesterday when
tine officer called he had just returned to
dinner. Out through the window went
William when the officer appeared at the
door. He took to the woods, but the officer
followed HIM and going through the bushes
the fugitive lost his shirt, leaving him with
only his trousers to protect him. When
the officer finally captured him he held
him by the seat OF his trousers and thus
the pair walked for two miles to the police
station.
Before the Police Court this morning the
negro appeared in the role of a genuine
burglar and Judge Mills held him in $500
security for the action of the grand jury.

On Saturday night last about II 80 o'clock

ayers Of a New Alexandra factory. had
occasion to 60 into the back yard Of her
dwelling, which adjoins on King street
Bauer's bakery. on the corner Of King and
Payne streets The yard is dark and in q
very short time she found herself seized,
her arms pinioned and her mouth gagged
with handkerchief. She uttered a scream.
which was muftied by the handkerchief, as
the two men who had attacked her bore her
to the ground. Meanwhile her husband,
hearing a noise in the back yard, called the
police and FASTENED into the yard, where
he and his brother-in- Law. Mr. Clark. who
nad also arrived, found Mrs. Bland with q
handkerchief tied over her mouth. The
men who had attacked her had become
frightened and escaped. Mrs. Bland was
Inbound and carried into the house Since
that time she has been quite i'll. Mr. W.
Gilbrotzer and Mr.. F. NJ. Chase observed
last week several suspicious looking men
Rauer's bakery and had given warning to
the Misses Bauer, sine. which time a watch
has been kept. AS fire occurred in that
neighborhood on Saturday morning it is
thought that some tramps, attracted to the

abouts until after nightfall and made the
assault on Mrs. Bland.

We're busy everywhere with their axes and
hooks pulling down frames that would else
have spread the fire. The little chemical
engines were made ready for use In the in
terror Of some Of the threatened houses on
the borders of the flames. The most nota-
bic method was. however, the use of the
old-fashioned line with fire buckets from a
pump. The old house on King street ad-
joining the railroad hotel, had its roof set
on fire in many places by the falling sparks
At once line was formed carrying buckets
from pump on King and Commerce
streets, and ascending relief ladder to the
threatened roof, where some young firemen
deluged each Of the places where the roof
was on fire, and by keeping the roof wet
saved that section from a new fire.
