ThicTIng On the Increase in That Part
OF the City.
John Slkey. who lives near Kuntz's
coal bank, had an experience with
chicken thieves last Monday night
He was awakened, and found on going
to his yard that four Of his finest fowls
had been taken. Mr.. Selkey got thore
in time TO see two men making away
with the chickens. He gave chase, but
could not.catch them.
Thirty bushels Of coal were taken
from Perry Fishers coal house, on
Thirty-thlrd street, last Monday night.
The thieves broke the lock, Smashed
the door, and evidently carried the coal
away. The only trace Mr.. Fisher could
find, yesterday morning, are the marks
of a number OF shoes, APT are1tlY. 1hh
fence was covered with muu, evidently
over which the robbers carried the coal.
MIR. Fisher believes there were number
of the thieves.
Samuel Speldel, Of Forty-third street,
a boss puddler at the lower Benwood
mill, and John Shotslnger, OF the Sixth
ward, also a puddler at the same mill,
each suffered loss by thieves yester-
day. 1t seems each of the workmen
had provided himself with new din.
ner bucket, and having filled them with
dinner, left them a short distance from
their work. When noon came, both
buckets and contents had been stolen.
Other OF the mill men said they bad
seen persons prowling around the mill
early In the forenoon.

more About the BsnwoOd Robbery.

1t is generally believed that the re-
cent robbery of Conrad Rinehart's resi-
dence in upper Benwood, near the street
car barns, was perpetrated by persons
we'll knowing the surroundings. and
probably living in the vicinity. Officer
Pearl was standing on the corner oppo-
site the house, when he heard some one
call him. Before he could reach the
house he saw three men running from
Mr.. Rinehart's house. The officer de-
scribes two OF them as medium sized
men and the third as tall man. The
officer gave chase. and one OF the
thieves dropped his cap. This article,
which IS new one, is held by the Off
Ger. officer Pearl chased the robbers
till they became lost TO sight
near Kuntz's coal mine In the
hillside. The officer says the men were
not masked, and he believed be would
recognize the tall one at least, were he
to see him again. 1t now DEVELOPS
that the thieves made poor search as

a man of seventy years slept, was tin

tiles have by no means given up search

they live in the town, they can find
them, and bring them TO justice.

The supper to be given on Thursday
evening of this week, at Arion Hall,
under the auspices OF the Conference
OF ST. Vincent de Pau, is deserving OF
liberal patronage. The proceeds will
be devoted to practical charity. There
Is certain TO be much suffering In this
city, among the poorer classes, during
the winter months. and the proceeds Of
the supper will be applied to the relief
of deserving cases, irrespective OF de-
nomination. The Conference will be
assisted by the Ladies' Aid Society OF
the Cathedral, which is q sufficient
guarantee OF the eXcellency OF the
cuisine. Supper will be served from 8
o'clock until midnight, and the Opera
House Orchestra wilt render pro-
granme OF concert selections during
the evening. Tickets are so cents, and
may be secured at the hall, or from

For a Good Cause.

Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Woman's Union Benevo-
lent Society announcing supper at tie
residence of Mrs. Mary B. Metcalf, 10
Fifteenth street, tomorrow evening,
commencing at 5 o'clock. This society
is doing noble work In relieving the
wants of the poor, and, as the coming
winter will be one of unusual demands
for charity, it will require additional
funds to carry on the work. The sup
per will doubtless be literally patron
lied, as it should be. Mrs. Metcalf has
kindly donated the use of her residence
for the occasion, and all who attend
will be assured Of frst-class meal.

devoted wife, kind and indulgent
mother, a sincere and constant friend.

RrpoRrs OF oFFIcERs.

The first business of the morning
session was the reading Of the reports
of officers. The report of the Grand
Secretary gave an excellent showing OF
the progress Of the order during the
past year. The net gain in member
ship was not as large as during the pre-
ceding year, but it reached the goodly
number of 7S5. Seven new lodges were
instituted, and all are in prosperous
condition. The total membership is
now 1886; total number OF lodges
1913. One lodge was lost by consolida-
tion with another.
The report of Grand Treasurer Henry
Seamon showed the following totals:
Cash on hand November Is, 1892, 81
600. 76; November l6, 1893. S6,362. 40;
disbursements during year, S3,955.6l;
cash on hand, 81, 406.S5.
The reports OF all Grand Officers
were referred to the respective com
mittees, and the remainder Of the after
noon session was devoted to comforting
degrees. The committees met imme-
diately after adjournment, and trans
acted some business, but will probably
not be ready to present their reports
before this afternoon. This mornings
session, therefore, will be brief.

INTERESTING EXERCISES.

Last night Odd Fellows Hall was
crowded. The occasion was public
exempliication of the dedicatory work
of the Order. The large audience lis
tened with attention to the proceedings,
and members of the order derived much
practical knowledge from the work.
The exercises were opened with an ad-
dress OF welcome by Mayor b. f. Cald-
well, who extended the freedom of the
city to the visiting members OF the
fraternity, and dwelt briefly upon the
high and noble purposes Of the Order,
of which he is member. His address
was replete with interesting thoughts,
forcibly expressed, and it was listened
to with marked attention. When he
concluded he was warmly applauded.
The dedicatory exercises. were the
same as on the occasion Of the dedica-
ton of the new l. o. o. +. hall, fully
described in the REGISTER at that time.
At the conclusion of the exercises, an
admirable address was made by Grand
Master A. g. Dayton. 1t was a reply
to the welcome of Mayor Caldwell. and
a brief reference, In commendatory
way. to the order of Odd Fellowship.

tables were laden with the choi cest OF
seasonable viands, substantials and del
icacies. The hall presented most in

decorations on the walls and platform.

was there to the invitations issued to
visiting and local Odd Fellows that the
tables were filed three times, and over
SIX hundred people partook Of the hos
pitality Of the Odd Fellows and Re-
bekahs OF this city.
Of the cuisine little need be said In the
way O. praise. Wheeling ladies are
proverblally efficient in their manage
mento of culinary affairs, and the ban
ouet was arranged by Wheeling ladies.
They were amply repaid for their exer-
tions to make the affair success, by
the general expressions Of praise heard
from all who partook Of the feast. The
general committee ia charge was com
posed of Mrs. l.. Hoffman, Mrs. j. II.
Springer, Mrs. Kurtz, Mrs. Kindelbnrg-
err, Mrs. Dick, Mrs. thinner and Mrs

by a corps of ladies Of the Rebeckah
