Several Persons Arrested on the Charge
of Robbing Old Pensioners.
Two robberies OF pensioners were reported
at the detective bureau and in each the party
accused Of the theft was captured.
Robert Smith, of Fairfax Court House. Va.
after getting his pension check for s42 started
to see some friends. In front OF Bensinger's
livery stable, corner of Eighth and streets,
he met William Jones, whom.he had known
from childhood Jones invited him to 20
with him to his house, No. 22S n street north
west, and take dinner with him. Upon reach
ing the house Jones introduced Smith 10
woman named Mary Morton. In less than
i've minutes Jones left the room with another
female and in brief period Smith was
robbed OF his check, which, fortunately, was
not indorsed. Smith made an outcry, when
Jones rushed in and held him while the two
women escaped from the house
Smith reported the matter as quickly as
possible to Inspector Hollinberger, who de-
tailed Detectives Lacey and Weeden to work
up the case and instructed them to get Jones
and Mary Morton at all hazards About an
hour later the detectives arrested Jones and
afterward got the woman. The check was
not recovered
Detective Lacey also arrested Jacob Diemer
proprietor of a saloon at No. 625 ID street
northwest on the charge Of swindlin9 Francis
Marshall. an old colored pensiOner, out of go
on Tuesday last. Soon after Marshall got his
check Tor $50 he was met by man who told
him if he would go to Diemer's saloon he
could get the paper cashed without charge.
Marshall did so. but he says he got only S26
instead OF $50 from Diemer Marshall tried
to have the error rectified. but was unable 10
do so, and yesterday he went TO Inspector
Hollinberger about the matter.
messenger was sent TO see Diemer, and he
was requested to come TO the detective office
and have a talk with Marshall about the
affair. He refused 70 do so and was then
taken into custody. He deposited $40 eolat-
eral and WAS released for court. He claims
that Marshall has made a mistake and that
he gave him the full amount OF the check
Marshall has an excellent reputation.

The cause of no response to the above COM
munication may. perhaps, be accounted for
by the fact that several OF the committee are
closely connected with other insurance com
panies, which companies are doing their ut
most TO transfer the young and healthy pOr-
ton of the members TO their companies. and
therefore no proposition TO transfer the mem
bers as a whole will be allowed to go through
so long as there is hope of these companies
getting any more of the business thus max
ing it impossible to transfer the business as
whole.
As all are aware suit has been commenced
for the appointment of a receiver. which,
when accomplished will wind up the affairs
Of the association, and all members who are
over sixty years of age or are unable 10 pass

ance. and no one should know it better than
the committee of safety and there is no
more chance of the wrecked association again
resuming business than there is that lightning
will strike each of its members.
Members desiring further information in
relation to this matter may obtain the same
by communicating with the Industrial Bene-
fit Association, Syracuse, n. Y, or calling at

when he told his Democratic friends
in the House Tuesday that his con-

From the Emmett Correspondent.

"Good morn, Dinnie Good morn
Why we are out early" Eyes, am in
q hurry to post letther to the Cham
pion company, as hear the big fellow
has jumped the job and maybe its me-
self that would step into his shoes.
They tells me that the chap 10 goin'
letther writin' for some newspapers COM
pany. Faith and more fool he is for
tits the last job that put the fine feath-
ers on him, not all as one as when he
was welding the blue birch to the little
gossoons wJdin'. Shure did you ever
see it fail when fowls get on Eoine
coat of feathers the foolish things
make such cackIin' and noise about
a little thing that they shed all their
foine plumage and begorra it leaves
them bare at the end. Is it true that
he was selling the smallpox recates.
Ma, pll tell We how that was, the citizen
you see, was blowing so hard that bhe
correspondent thought he would re-
mind him of his few little valuable
papers (poll tax receipts), and what IN
the world did they do at the office
above but get the type turned upside
down somehow and when the word
came out of the press, begorra it had
the small pox, and that's what ails the
man for he goes around ever since with
Il scythe cuttin' out the bad weeds
that's choking up the good grain, or in
other words, to cut the 'Ehull head" Oft
that correspondent. Is it the Grover
party we name? Och, no, man ye're
not in it att all. Shure tits some one that's
pokin' fun at him through the paper
an the poor "Omathen" can not see it,.
Now this great student and orator Of
the day deserves from US title and
one he need not be ashamed of as it's
from the house Of Desmond, "Earla
Rhua," the red Earl. Professor Basins,
of the Atheneum, would be obliged 60
take n back seat and make room for the
above titled frame, when about co
deliver lecture on the anatomy of
the brain. One would suppose that the
Almighty supplied him with. an over
plus of that little gray matter. The
correspondent wishes 1t to be univer-
sally understood that the chair of
Anatomy be given to this man of many
minds and sensitive nerves, and ! shall
be the first to embrace the opportunity
of attending his lecture on anatomy,
especially of the brain, as | am conf
dent that under his tutorship ] should
make mark of success in this world.
This classic man is only trying to satu-
rate jaundiced prejudice in the mind
of the publicagainst the correspondent.
1t was not the intention of the author
of Emmett letter to satrize or comment
upon anything personal and this gifted
man, if he can spare time, or if it is not
of any value TO him, he can 60 ahead.
The correspondent having only one SET
of ideas such as he hints, will find in
the same an equal proper. He may
yet have to undergo the same process
as the Isaiah whose lips and tongue
were cleansed with burning coal.
That along with q coat of kalssmine,
the new shade of blue, will be apt to
keep him in state of preservation for
the coming warm season as it Is risky
work TO handle such soft materials.
