A GOOD HAUL.
House of j. L. B. Alexander
BurglariZed.
The Victim located Early In the
Evening and ShadoWed to
His Residence. r'

The residence of J. L. B. Alexander,
at the corner Of Adams and Jefferson
and Second streets, was burglarized be-
tween three and iour O'Clock yesterday
morning. The burglar secured $135 in
cash and valuable gold watch and.
chain.
Early the evening before, Mr.. Alex
ander exchanged some coin at the Pal
ace for $l00 bill. 1t is suspected that
the subsequent burglar saw the trans
action and followed his victim home.
About O'Clock Mr.. Alexander was
awakened by slight noise in his sleep-
ing room. 1t was SO slight, though,
that he thought it was made by mouse.
1t was repeated little louder and Mr..
| Alexander turned sleepily over in his
| bed. He was no longer sleeping for he
saw e.man darting toward the door.
Mr.. Alexander sprang out of bed and
grabbed breech- loading shot gun. The
thief, who had reached the front gate,
was still within range but unfortunately
the shells had been extracted from the
gun. Before it cod.d be reloaded the
burglar had crossed the street and dis
appeared in an alley back OF the Hol-
land building.
The thief had entered by way OF the
front door, which was left open, and
the screen door was that night OF all
nights left unlocked. The money and
watch were taken from MIR. Alexander's
pockets. Nothing else WAS disturbed.
Even purse lying on dresser in the
same roomtwas overlooked.

project was received here with great
favor yesterday. Governor Hughes
and Messrs. Fleming, McCord, Helm
lein, Penn berton and several other gen.
tlemen will probably erect summer
residences in Observatory Park for oe-
cupancy during the coming heated term.
There are two advantages urged in
favor OF the project, not already enum-
Grated. One is that the growing popu-
larity of Flagstaff as pleasure resort
will attract to it Arizonians who have
hitherto annually taken summer vaca-
tions on the coast or in the east and in
doing so have Withdrawn large vol
ume OF money from territorial eircula-
ton. The other is that the coming to-
gether of the people of the territory
will result in better understanding of
each other and the establishment Of
stronger ties and keener sympathies.

Golf of the United States circuit court
at CIarksburg, W. Va, has granted an
order restraining the supervisor of
registration of Richland county, South
Carolina, from exercising the functions
of his Office and requiring him to show
cause before him in Colum bia. on May
Is, why the injunction should not be
made permanent.
The order is far-reaching and brings
to square test all the registration laws
of South Carolina since 1882, involving
also the constitutional convention act.
The bill alleges that all those acts based
in any way upon the laws of 1882 are in
violation of the state and federal con-
stitution. There is quite stir about
it today.

THE SAENGERBUND CONCERT.
1t Was Well Attended and an Excel
lent Program Was Presented.


The Washington Saengerbund gave their
first concert of the season at the Academy
of Music last evening, large audience
being present, and an elaborate program
presented. The Saengerbund was assisted
by Mrs Hattie Meads-Smith, soprano; Miss
Alice Burbage, pianist, and a competent
and well-trained orchestra, under the di-
rectiOn of Prof. William Waldecker The
SaenGerbund rendered a number of selec-
tons in excellent STYLE and received enthu-
slastic applause Mrs. Meads-Smth sang
an aria from Lucia di Lammermoor," rem
dering it in good voice and with fine eff
feet. Miss Alice BUrbage shared fully one
half the honors of the evening by her fine
work on the piano. She played Mendeis-
sohn's First Piano Concerto, with orches-
ira, and although the composition is long
and exceedingly difficult, she acquitted her
self splendidly. For her second number
she played two List tranScriptions, in
which her excellent technique and musi-
cianly Intelligence were fully demonstrated.
The orchestra played well in number of
selections, and added not a little to the
success of the evening. The cantata of
Columbus by Mohr, was perhaps the
most ambitious work that the bund has
attempted, but 1t was sung with good eff
feet and expression, the solos being render
ed by Mrs. Smith, soprano, and Mr.. Frank
RebStock baritone. Mr.. Waldecker re-
ceiVed many warm compliments for the
results of his careful training of the So
city and its able director of the concert
After the concert an informal supper and
reception was held at the club house, at
which a number of people prominent in
German circles in this city We're present.

TOO BIG TO CARRY.
But n MOOn-Eyed Celestial Was Ar
rested for Owning. the Pistol.


A Colts frontier revolver almost the size
of small gatling gun, a cross-eyed China
man and Policeman Mohl attracted a large
crowd OF spectators il front of police head
quarters about noon today. The appear
ance of the big weapon caused some excite
ment, for the lookers-on thought that
serious crime had been committed. But
the Chinaman had not used the weapon.
In fact, the weapon was not even loaded,
and If John Chinaman's statement is to be
believed. he did not have cartridge in his
laundry on C street near the Baltimore and
Ohio depot
He was on his way to the express office
he said, to ship the weapon to his cousin
in Chicai ,, who had befriended him during
the worlds fair. This explanation fell upon
the officer with no greater impression than
the dropping of water on a ducks back, for
the laundryman was taken across the street
where Judge Miller held a special session of
the court to hear the case.
Mr.. Pugh. who got a glimpse of the cees-
tial when he entered warned the judge not
to look at him, but the judge had seen Moy
Sing Quai before, and whispered that he
had done the necessary thing to ward off
the "hoodoo.'
Carrying a pistol" the policeman said
was the charge against him.
WHAT" asked the judge, "a pistol? 1
call that a gatling gum"
The evidence of the policeman was heard
Sing had said about expressing the weapon.
Sing made his statement to the same eff
feet, told how he had started for the ex-
press Office and had been arrested, and de-
MED that he had called at the court this
morning to get warrant.
Yes, he did, said Mr.. Fugh. II saw him
when he called and asked for the warrant"
Sing repeated his denial, and Prosecuting
Attorney Mulowny quietly remarked: THE
evidence of the Chinaman and Mr.. Pugh is
before your honor"
Mr. Monroe, a friend of the celestial who
is teaching him English, and Col. Cook his
counsel said something in his behalf, and
the case was closed.
Mr.. Mullowny thought that although
there was a technical violation of law, the
case did not call for severe punishment and
the taking of Sings personal bonds would
satisfy him.
Judge Miller said that the carrying of
such weapons was rot to be tolerated. but
In this case he thought the Chinaman did
not intend to use the pistol on any one. His
personal bonds were taken, and the destruc-
ton of the weapon ordered, so that the in
former gets nothing.

The petition of George w. Mater, the
veterinary surg con sentenced in the Police
Court last month to 1854 days in Jail for
assauting Mrs. Fannie Reed, for his re-
lease by a writ of habeas corpus was re-
fused by Judge Bradley Saturday after
neon.
The assault, said to be most brutal one
occurred on the Bladensburg road, and it
was claimed by Mater in his petition that
If it occurred a all it took place in Mary
land, and that the Police Court had. there
fore, no jurisdiction in the matter. Such
was the argument of Matters counsel Mr.
T. NJ. Fields, but on behalf of the prosecil-
ton Assistant District Attorney Eefforls
ccntended that Mater, having in the Po-
lice Court failed to raise the question of
jurisdiction, it too late to raise it in
any other tribunal. Judge Bradley sus-
tanned the contention of the prosecution
and refused to release the prisoner, re-
marking, however, that the law should pro-
vide for appeals from judgments rendered
in the Police Court.

Will Prohibit American Sheen,

If, as reported from London, Great Brit
ain intends to prohibit after January the
importation of American sheep, it is quite
probable that there will be a vigorous
protest from this government Four or
five years ago this government, through
the representations of the Department of
Agriculture, succeeded in getting the En-
glish government to remove the restriction
which required the killing of American
sheep when they landed al the docks in
Great Britain, and they We're then per-
mitted to be taken inland and fed for kill
ing. The industry, which was then very
small, has grown to large proportions, the
expectations during the fiscal year 1894
reaching $4,000 head, and 1895, 100000
head.
