this city is overrun by small thieves, with a
sprinkling of the more desperate burglar
The biggest haul made yesterday was in
Anacostia. A house-breaEer after entering
the premises OF Mrs. r. C. Forts, No. 42T
Harrison street, proceeded to her sleeping
apartment, and then, it is said, caloro-
formed the lady. The daring thief then
secured S242, which Mrs. Forts had
secreted about her garments.
An unknown pickpocket got in his work
at the baseball park yesterday. He dipped
into the pockets uf Mr.. Charles E. Thorne
of No. 21S o street north west, and secured
roll OF bills amounting to S1O3. The
clever work of this thief led the police TO
believe that he is a professional pick
pocket who drifted to Washington from
the East.
A sneak thief stole a new suit of clothes
from room 1874 in the Arlington Hotel.
The stolen goods belonged to Harry Bel
vile, the plumber at the above hOstelry.
