Burglars Rob Two Houses,
One Within a Block of

Front Windows Broken Within
Plain View of the Sidewalk
Where We're McKaig's Men.

There were two most daring robberies
in the Fourth precinct last night. In
both cases the thieves entered by the
front basement windows. and had any
one been passing they could not have
failed to see them. One of the houses
burglarized is within half a block Of
the police station and almost within
sight of it. The policemen who were do
ing duty in the neighborhood saw noth-
ing of the burglars and knew nothing
of the burgiaries until they were report
ed at the station this morning Mr..
George H. CorfieId, of No. 13 Madison,
was the first one to report that his house
had been entered. His servant sleeps ae
her own home. and arrives at $50
o'clock. This morning she found the
front window broken and on entering
the dining-room found things all topsy-
turvy, and the tableware all missing.
The girl called Mrs. Corfeld, who hur-
ried downstairs and investigated She
found that all that the burglars had
left were two knives and several nap
kin rings which were initiated. In the
kitchen she found that. before leaving,
they had eaten the greater portion OF
a mince pie she had baked yesterday
DECEIVED THIEVES.
The greater part of the tableware
stolen was plated and was not of great
value With the exception of a few
pieces, however, it was brand new, and
had not yet been removed from the cases
it came in. A couple of dozen spoons
were wrapped in tissue paper, and the
thieves were probably fooled into be-

Mrs. Corfield had left the table set last
night with the things necessary for
breakfast. The table was cleared off,
and every drawer of the buffet. with
the exception of the one containing the
table linen, was pulled out and thrown
on the floor. The window through which
the burglars entered is fastened by
catch that has to be pulled fhwaPds.
The glass just above the catch. was
broken sufficiently to allow a man to
slip his hand in and remeve the CATCH
A large plant that had stood in front of
the window was moved to the centre of
the room. The burglary must have ec-
CURED some time after one o'clock, as
Mr.. Corfield did not retire until after
12:30. o'clock. Mr.. Corfield had to borrow
knives, forks and spoons from neigh

Stanley was on duty fren midnight
until seven o'clock.
THE SECOND BURGLARY
The other house entered was that of
Mr.. Hartford Lindsey. No. $40 BramhalI
avenue. AS in the case of Mr.. Corffeld's
house, the thieves entered by the front
basement window. They ransacked all
the closets and the buffet, but only Sc
cured few plated spoons, as Mrs.
Lindsey keeps all her silverware up
stairs. Detective Hottie was sent to
hunt for Mr.. Corfeld's burglars, while
Detective Doyle has been Instructed to
find those that annoyed Mr.. Lindsey.
Neither detective has yet found any
clue.

7S4 against. according to the latest re-
turn received at Police Headquarters

voted for Governor did not vote on Con-

The Gaylord mine or slope has been con-

year past. Only a month ago there was an
explosive cavern Of the surface which
weakened the roof of the whole mine. So
far as can be learned the accident today
was caused by further depression of the
surface. This. in time, caused the roof of
the chambers Of the mine to fall shutting

THE KEARsARGE GUNS,
Not the Ones Employed I'm the Cele-
brated Alabama Fight.

There has been a good dead of misplaced
sympathy over the two eleven-inch smooth
bore guns that were lost in the lamentable
wreck of the gallant ship Kearsarge On
Roncador reef. 1t was generally supposed
that they were the guns that had eontribu-
ted so much toward the destruction Of the
rebel cruiser Alabama Such, however, is
not the fact Those valuable relics are still

not likely to be trusted again on board of
any or Uncle Sans ships. Mr.. Brummett
chief clerk OF the naval ordnance bureau,

reporter today that the two eleyen-inch
guns used by the Kearsarge in the engage
Ient with the Alabama were landed at the
mare Island, Cal, navy yard in October,
1870. and have since remained there I'm,

Their places on the Kearsarge were taken
by two eight-inch muzzle-loading rifles.
converted from eleven-inch smooth bore
guns. The battery of the Kearsarge when
she went to pieces consisted of two eight
inch muzzle-loading rifles. four nine inch
smooth bores and one sixty-pounder
reecn-loadlng rifle, with a secondary bat
terry Of one three-inch Howitzer and one
short Calling.
Since the Alabama affair the armament
OF the kearsarge has undergone several
changes, and she has carried eleven-inch
guns other than the celebrated ones now
treasured at the Mare Island navy ward.
There are two of these guns in particular
that have frequently been mistaken for the
originals. One Is at the New York navy
yard and the other Is at the Naval
Academy.
They have both formed part of the bat
terry OF the kearsarge, but neither of them
was on her in the fight with the Alabama.
This fact is not generally known, how
ever, and the two guns have been deco
rated on national holidays and treated with
the greatest Difference and tenderness be-
cause Of their mistaken Identity

He Says There Are Millions in HIS

He Says There Are Millions I'm HIS
Mines-N0 Rush for the stock.
It does not appear that the colored people
Of Washington have in any large numbers
taken stock In the seductive mining
schemes Of Charles P. Grove, the colored
man who II endeavoring to induce colored
people to buy stock in his mines for S
share. Grove figured out today to Star re-
porter that 500 men whom he expected to
put at work in his mines would producer about
$4,000 a day or something like $50. GOO. 600
q year. not counting Sundays All that
seemed to be needed was enough people to
pay IS each to Mr.. Grove for stock in order
to set this great money mill in motion.
Still, there has been no rule to buy the
stock, although here and there a poor coll
ored man has scraped together enough to
buy a share. He denied that the men who

dition described in a dispatch to the Chi

and showed letter purporting to come
from two Of the men and dated February
2 expressing satisfaction with their condf-
ton. Grove said that the only men who
had not remained were four dudes" who
did not know how to work. He claimed
that all the stories published about him
and his mines were put out by men who
wanted to defeat his project, SO as to get
possession Of his mines.
Grove is a colored man of not very i'm
posing appearance Notwithstanding his
dealings in mining properties representing
accoS1ing to his statements such vast
wealth, he modestly wears a lusterlesS
paste diamond. He asserts that what he
is doing. he is doing for colored people. in
a philanthroplc way. He wants to give
the colored people chance to do some
thing for themselves, and Is not going TO
let any white people buy stock. So 1t is
useless for any white folks to try to get
any of that $60.0O0,OO0 a year.
While engaged in explaining his schemes
for the beneft Of his race, Mr.. Grove is
shrewdly keeping a lookout for the -
bills. Notwithstanding the attitude he has
taken as q philanthropist, there are some
of his own race who are unkind enough to
speak of him as a fraud, and who claim
