ArrEMprED BUReLARY.-This morn

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-This morn
ing between and o'clock some one
attempted TO effect an entrance into
the residence of Mr.. c. W. Moore, at
the corner of Lee and Duke streets.
The would-be burglar tried the side
gate and then attacked the window
blinds of the parlor. The attempt at
the gate awoke small colored boy
who sleeps on the first floor. The noise
made by the man at the front part of
the house awoke Mr.. Moore, who,
thinking some friend had called in the
night for the assistance of some mem
Der of the family, sprang from his bed
and went to the window to inquire who
was there. The window panes are
large, and just being awakened from his
sleep, they looked as if the window
was raised. Mr. Moore, with consider
able force, showed his head through the
pane, breaking the glass, and causing tito
fly in ali directions. He was, with much
difficulty, extricated from his en-
barrassing situation. In the meantime
the man who had been trying to force
an entrance escaped. Mr.. Moore was
not much hurt by the broken glass.

CoAlMI1rEE MEErING-The ct

COMMITTEE MEETING.-The com
mittee on light of the City Council
met last night for the purpose of exam
ming into the charges made against
John McCuen, engineer at the electric
light works. After some deliberation a
vote was taken on the question of dis
missing the accused from the city's en-
ployment, and it resulted in tie, two
members voting in favor of such a
course and two against it. The charges
against Mr.. McCuen were that he had
gotten drunk and had left his post of
duty. Several witnesses were exam
ined and there was conflicting testi-
mony. Mr.. McCuen admitted that he
had been under the influence of liquor,
but that he had taken it after no left
the works and because he was sick.
After motion to dismiss Mr.. McCu.n
had been lost by a tie vote, ayes Messrs.
Klaus and Hinken, noes Messrs. Swee-
ney and Moore, motion to go into an
election of an engineer was lost by the
same vote. Mr.. McCuen will therefore
continue to act as engineer.

Young MRS. WINTHRop.-One Of
the strongest attrs ctions Of the season
is undoubtedly the engagement OF Bron.
sou Towards great con edy, Young
Mrs. Winthrop, which will be seen at
the Opera House tonight. The play
is surprisingly simple, and in this lies
much of its charm. The brilliant
dialogue, the inimitable character por-
trayals, the exquisite pathos are I'M
surpassed in any other modern play.
1t is society comedy telling story of
domestic life and is full ofpathos, brim-
ming with humor and sparkling with
brilliant wit. 1t has been splendidly
cast, the company being selected from
some of New York's best known and
most capable PLAYERS.

ATTEMPTED TO BURN THE STABLE.

ATTEMPTED TO BURN THE STABLE.
Men employed at the Driving Park
near this city last night about nine
O'clock discovered that portion of the
stabling was burning. After some diff
ticulty the flames were extinguished.
An examination having been made it
was said that the incendiaries had
made liberal use of coal oil and gaso-
line and had intended to destroy
everything that could be burned in the
park. Had the fire not been discover
ed and extinguished quickly in few
minutes an extensive confagration
would have been in progress. An eff
fort will be made to ferret out the fire
bugs. The managers of the park are
not disposed to believe the fire was the
result of righteousness, but think it was
started by some boys who dropped q
lighted candle and then ran of.

Az OBDURATE EQUINE.-A horse at
tached to pie wagon went on strike
Yesterday afternoon en- Prince street,
between Fairfax and Royal, and enter
tanned for about half an hour a crowd
which gathered. The animal suddenly
backed the wagon against curb stone.
and, planting its legs ladder-fashion,
undertook to be as immoyable as
statue ofPegasus. Coaxings, whipping,
pulling at the bit, forcing the vehicle
against it and all the other devises
known for moving sullen horse proved
abortive. Some suggested the animal
had the collie, other the studs" some
'the crud, and sympathizers with the
society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals were positive it was dying and
boiled over with commisseration. Those
who thought metempsychosis probable
imagined the soul of some ancient had
transmigrated into the stubborn beast.
One bystander moved that it be sub
ected to the chestnut bur ordeal, others
that somebody twist its tail, and occa-
sionally voice would eXclaim, build
a fire under him." The driver, stall
wart specimen of the genus homo
pulled the horses head toward
every point of the compass, but
the pedal extremities of the animal
remained as stiff as those in hobby
horses. AT last the obdurate beast
brought the performance to temporary
staudstill by lying down suddenly and
abruptly. The crowd at this juncture
became greatly excited, some crying
cut this and others that, but the driver
deaf to all suggestions, applied black
snake whip when the animal sprang to
his feet as quickly as it had collapsed.
1t was again attached to the wagon,
when a repetition of the previous scene
followed, the beast stretching its
length on the cobble stones a second
time. Upon being forced up it was
finally persuaded to enter an alley and
later some bystanders pulled the wagon
in after it. The driver had capitulated
