 An important and daring capture of horse thieves was made last night by De- tsetive Sergeant Reilly and Patrolman W. l.. Cooper. The prisoners are two horse thieves, who have been wanted by the po- lice of several cities in tho state for some time past.
 The latest exploit of these criminals took plaos in Thompsonville, this state. Tues day night three horse thieves stole an iron grey horse, c valuable animal, fine new sleigh and 8 brand new harness. The theft was reported to the New Haven po- flee, as we'll as to all the other police au- thorities of the state. The local officers were ordered to be on the lookout for the thieves. Patrolman Grant gave deserip- ton of the team and the thieves to Currie & Wilcox, liverymen, on Temple street, opposite St. Mary's church, and it was this information that finally led to the capture of the thieves.
 Late yesterday afternoon two Hebrews drove into Currie & Willcox's stable and MT. Wilcox noticed that the turnout
 answered the description given him by Officer Grant. The men left the team at the stable saying that they would return at | 10 o'clock last night for the team. Al l soon ss they left the stable Nr. Willeoz sent word to the police and Sergeant Reilly
 and Officer Cooper were detailed upon the ! case and at once went to the stable. l About S:30 o'clock the two men returned
 and were immediately placed under arrest
 and taken to police headquarters. Wher
 one of the men was placed under arrest, b. pulled 42 calibre American bull dog self | cooking revolver from his hip pocket. Al
 the chambers were loaded. He was abou | to use it when he was disarmed, hand ! cuffed and taken to police headquarters l Here they gave their names as Charles L. | Butt and Jacob Finnelstein and their resi- dence as New York, Le Butt claims tha

The very best way to know whether Dohhins' Electric

The very best way to know whether Dobbins' Electric Soap is as good as it is said to be, is to TRY IT YOURSELF. It caa't deceive YOU. Only be careful not to get an imitation. There are a great many Elec- tries and Magnetics, all intend ed to deceive the public into supposing that they are Dob. bins Electric, or just as good. We have made this since 1869. It is the original Electric and is guaranteed to be worth four times as much as any other soap ever made. For washing anything, from the finest lace to the heaviest blanket, 1t is without a peer. Only follow directions.
