Captured In n Cellar when They Went TO
Get Hidden SwaR.

A woman living In a frame tenement at 80
Bartlett street, Willamsburgh. on going into
the cellar for coal last evening. came across q
big bundle of cotton velvet and silk scarfs.
She told Policeman Lang Of the Clymer street

ton, where Capt. French examined 1t and
thought the goods resembled those that wero
stolen last Wednesday night from the dry goods
store OF Meyer g. Koch at 66a-660 Broadway,
Williamsburgh.
Capt. French, Detective Dolan. and Police
man Lang. went to the house and hid them
selves in the cellar. At O'Clock two men came
down the stairs and lit a candle. They went to
the place where the woman found the bundle.
"Cione. by George!" said one of them.
While they were searching the police jumped
with revolvers. The men surrendered and were
taken To the station house. They denied know
ing anything of the bundle.
They described themselves as Louis Pelter,
aged 32 years. OF 90 Maujer street, and John
Williams "a years old, who said he had no
home. Peter was wearing new suspenders,
which the firm OF Meyer d Koch afterward iden-
titled.
The firm also identified the velvet and scarts
having been stolen from their stores. The
plunder which the burglars secured was worth
was identified having been stolen from
desk In the mems furnishing goods store OF
Thomas L. Wallace in Broadway and Wythe
avenue about ten days ago The prisoners were
locked up on q charge of burglary.

HARRISON IN 40.
Editor Turner Says the Ex-President Would
Prefer Not TO he . Candidate.


INDIANAPoLIs Dec. 18.-Georgo w. Turner,
editor of the New York Recorder, has been in
the city two days in consultation with ex-Presi-
dent Harrison. Mr.. Turner said last night, Just
before leaving for New York. that he had come
to Indianapolis to confer with Mr.. Harrison,
and the subject of his possible nomination by
the Republican Convention in 1896 was. dis
cussed. He made the following statement as to
the result of his visit:
Nothing could be more repugnant to Mr..
Harrison than third nomination. and he would
much prefer to remain at his home here In In
dianapolis and practise law. lie needs no vim
dication. for the last two years have abundantly
indicated him and his policy, and for him TO
undergo the trying ordeal OF a Presidential
campaign. with its subsequent turmoil and
trouble, would be q severe hardship.
Amy report TO the effect that he has positive
ly prohibited the use OF his name as Presiden-
tial candidate is untrue. 1t would not be the
first time that he has sacrificed himself for the
interest OF the country. He has his own favor
lite favorles for the place, who will be Loyalty
supported by him when the time comes for 40
ton"
When asked II this did not admit of tho de-
duction that Mr.. Harrison would decline to
enter the race and before the Convention met
would publicly announce his preference among
the candidates. Mr.. Turner responded:
1T would admit of that deduction, but
would not wish to be quoted as saying II"
Mr. Turner would not say whether Mr.. Har-
rison had declined positively to be a candidate.
1t seems that he will not be candidate unless
great pressure Is brought to bear upon him.

test against the continued refusal OF the Foreign

THE FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.

1t Occurred In Rome and Took Place In
the Year 800 b. G.
Livy, in his famous book, 'fThe An
nals,'' 9, 80, relates in the following
suggestive words the story of singular
strike which occurred in Rome i'll the
year 800 d. G. and probably Cie
first strike ever known:
That year occurred an event little
worthy of being related, and which l
would pass in silence had it not appeared
as involving religion. The flute players,
dissatisfied because the latest censors
had forbidden them to take part in the
banquet in Jupiter's temple, according
to the ancient custom, withdrew, every
one Of them, to Tibur, so that nobody
was left at Rome to play during the sac
rifees. This incident shocked the reil-
gious sentiment Of the senate, and the
senators sent messengers to invite the IN
habitants of Thur to make every effort
in order that the players should be re-
stored to the Romans. The Tiburtlnes,
having promised not to neglect any
thing necessary for that purpose, caused
the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to go back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO,
they employed strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under pretext
that music would increase the joy of the
feast, every citizen invited the flute
| players Individually to his house, and
wine, Of which people Of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into a
deep sleep. They were then thrown into
wagons and transported to Rome. They
only became aware of what had hap
pened OH the day after, when dawn
surprised them lying on the carts,
which had been left i'll the forum. A
large crowd had assembled, and they
were induced to promise that they would
remain at Rome. The right of attend
ing the banquets was restored to these
flute players. -New York Tribune.

THE FAMILY GOAT.


An Impoverished Milk Producer Whose
Forage Is Cheap.
The goat as a milk producer is hardly
appreciated in this country. But in the
old world the family goat is only less
esteemed than the family COW. The milk
is considered better than that from Jer-
sey cows for culinary purposes.
There is, moreover, one great advan-
tage i'll goat keeping over COWS. 1t is
this-that a COW usually provides a
much larger quantity of milk than can
be utilized in its natural state in the
household, the consequence being that
either a portion must be converted into
butter SO many times week, necessitat-
ing labor which is not always profitable
and frequently unsatisfactory i'll its re-
suits, or some of the milk has to be sold,
entailing other Inconvenience.
With goat, on the contrary, this
difficulty can never arise. A good speci-
men will generally provide small
household with enough milk for general
use during eight months of the year.
Were the plan once started no doubt
many American village jewellers who
cannot afford to keep COW would find
that milk goat would answer the pur-
pose fairly we'll.
Goats will consume leaves and rough
forage that COWS will not touch, and
they are sure to get a good living so
long as any digestible material is with
i'll their reach. G.. Hills in Massa-
chusetts Plough.
