EUGENE SULLIVAN CAUGHT.
Held in 81 900 Fail for Maintaining q

Eugene Sullivan, the alleged proprietor
of the pool room in the Eagle Hotel on
Pavonia avenue. which was raided by
Headquarters detectives, was a prisoner
in Justice Potts court this morning.
He was captured at the Hoboken ferry
last night by Detective Clark.
The action of the Police Board in
fining Clark ten days pay for not know
ing of the pool room and the severe re-
buke President Abernethy gave him for
his apparent neglect ofdu ty had the
effect of making Clark hustle and land
his man.
John c. Evans, the proprietor of the
Eagle Hotel, who testified before the
Police Board, and twice in the Police
Court. that he rented the rooms to
Eugene Sullivan for $50 per month, oc-
casioned considerable surprise this morn
ing by declaring he could not identify
Sullivan as the man who rented the
rooms from him. He said that some
one must have represented himself as
Sullivan.
Counsellor Donelan made an appeal
for the release of Sullivan, but Justice
Potts would not allow such precious
individual to go free.
Chief Murphy stated that he was sure
he would be able TO make a case against
Sullivan and asked that he be held.
Bail was fixed at 81 200.
Steps may be taken to show Evans
that it will be to his advantage to iden-
Sullivan

MORPHINE FOR THE GUARD.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 81, 1S95.-An
unsuccessful attempt was made yesterday
afternoon by fifteen convicts in the Utah
penitentiary to escape They concerted
scheme by which dose of morphine was to
be given to the guards in their coffee by
s'trusty' who acted in the capacity OF
waiter. The ''trusty" gave the scheme
away and administered sugar in lieu of the
morphine which had been smuggled into the
penitentiary sack. The guards took their
places on the wall and simulated poisoning
and at what they considered an auspicious
moment the fifteen prisoners in the plot,
supplied with ropes and ladders, attempted
to scale the walls, but We're quickly brought
to bay by a volley from the Winchesters in
the hands of the guards. One convict fell
from the top of the wall and was severely
hurt and all were returned to the calls.

BURGLARS AGAIN.
GreenVil1e Still a Profita-
BILE Field for the Knights
of the Dark Lantern.
THE POLICE WITHOUT A CLUE
Mr. George Kay of Avenue E Loses
a Gold Watch and S100 in
Money.

The midsummer quiet of the Green-
vile section has been disturbed most un-
expectedly. Burglars are again in town
and residents who were preparing to
leave for the seashore and mountains
have postponed their outings and are
now at home protecting their property.
Many of the residents who left earlier
in the season for the summer resorts
have either returned for the same rea-
son or else have sent their servants homo
to guard their valuables at night. 1t is
only three months since Greenville ex-
perienced its last burglary scare; in fact.
burglars have visited this section so
often during the past few years that the
residents have learned to look upon the
visits in a most philosophical light When
a burglary occurs the victim follows
time-honored custom and notifies the
police. A policeman or a detective visits
the plundered residence, makes a few
notes and there the matter ends. The
residents. knowing full well that there
is not even the remotest chance of the
burglar being captured.
When the Knights of the Dark Lantern
visited the section in the spring nearly
a score of burglar:es were committed
The local police force claiming that lack
of numbers prevented it from nabbins
the nocturnal visitors, detectives and
patrolmen were sent from the down town
precincts. The burglars continued theiI
work without interruption. however
and more depredations occurred after
the force was increased than before,
Now that the burglars have come bach
to town the residents are busy polishing
rusty revolvers and shot guns. and moi
a few have purchased new arms during
the past few days. Target practice il
now the most popular amusement in the
section.
On Sunday night the burglars visited
the residence of ,5ldge Robert S. Hud,
speth, Garfield and Winfield avenues, but
were scared off before the could secura
any valuables. This is the Sc md tins
that the Judge has been visited b. th$
criminal band during the past siS
months. Early yesterday morning ths
burglars made a good haul at the resi>
dence of Mr.. George Kay, on Avenue Fl
near Pearsan avenue. The rear window
of the dining room having been left opeg
the burglars gained entrance that way
and went directly to the bedroom whera
Mr.. and Mrs. Kay were sleeping. On a
chair alongside the bed Mr.. Kay had
placed his vest. In one Of the pockets
was a roll of bills amounting TO over
$1o0 and in another Mr.. Kay's gold
hunting case watch with chain attached,
Taking the watch, chain and money
the burglars departed.
At half-past one O'Clock this morning
Mrs. Craft. who resides on the top hooH
of the brick flats on the corner of Ocean
and Danforth avenues, heard footsteps
on the tin roof overhead and opening a
window yelled for the police. citizen

Few Bundles She Takes.

The experienced traveller is known by
her bundles, which are few, and SO COM

CANT. If she is forced to burden herself
with a large valise she packs it securely
several hours before train time and sends
it to the station by an expressman Her
satchel contains, if her journey is made
in the daytime, a small linen case IN
which the appurtenances of her toilet
are neatly rolled-comb, brushes and
soap. A fresh shirt waist to don at her
journeys end and a fresh handkerchief
are also in the satchel. This leaves
room for a book and possible box OF
candy. If her journey is to be trans
continental one her big valise will con-
tain her travelling nightgown, two or
three fresh waists, fresh underwear, her
medicine case, and whatever else minis
ters to her convenienc. A special night
gown is a necessity, and it should be
one which will not look amiss if acci-
dent or illness should make it necessary
for its owner to face her fellow passen-
gers in it, Black China silk is more
suitable than anything else, being cool,
light, dust shedding and inconspicuous.
