THIEVES WORK.
They Visited Two Places Of Business
on Weybosset Street.

The offices OF the Rhode Island Print
ing Company and the j. c. Hall Company
at so Wey bosset street were broken into
last night, and the thieves rified the
drawers of the many desks that wero in
the rooms, and 80 far as known they got
about S6 in cash, 100 two-cent postage
stamps and 200 postal cards.

climbing over stoop in the rear OF
Blanding's drug store. This was done
with the aid of q "skid" which was found
upon the roof this morning leaning
against the wall and directly under win
dow In the rear OF the workshop oil the
Rhode Island Printing Company.
Mr.. 9. {. Gray's desk was opened and
gold watch, a silver match box, stylo-
graphic pen, between 90 and Is in cash
and 100 two cent stamps were taken.
Just why so many articles OF value we're
left untouched is sonnet hing OF a mystery
to Mr.. Gray for their was solid gold
watch chain, several pieces OF gold coin,
and many gold and silver souvenirs left
in their places. They also left behind a
box of choice cigars, which Mr.. Gray had
and number OF shares OF the Traction
Electric Company. There were also two
safes in the office, but they were not
meddled with In anyway.
After visiting Mr.. Gray IL is quite evil
dent that they went into the j. {, Hall
Company's on the floor below. This was
done by jumping of the roof OF that por-
tion of the building that forms the long
walk that runs the entire length OF the
building inside. Here three desks were
broken open and small number OF
stamps and postal cards were taken.
The police are of the opinion that the
work was done more for mischief than for
gain. Three young men who were re-
leased from prison q few weeks ago are
suspected.

Lake, the Brutal Albion Muir

He Showed No Trace Of Feeling or
Sign OF Fear.
The Execution Was uccessful-Nature
of the Crime Committed.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 4.-William Lake,
by electricity In the State Prison here
today at 12:42K p. m. Not once did he
show any trace OF feeling or sign of fear.
When all was ready the current was
turned on. The body of Lake stiffened
in the chair, and a faint mufiied groan
issued from the victim First 1740
volts were applied for four seconds and
for rs seconds, then increase to 1740 volts
for % seconds; then increased to
17i0 volts for three seconds and
then reduced to $50 volts and finally
turned off after having been on just one
minute. Lake was then pronounced
dead. The execution was by far tho most
successful of any which have taken place
here.
The crime for which Lake forfeited his
life was the murder, in October last, OF
Emma Hunt, domestic in the family of a
farmer named Vancamp near Carleton MY.
Lake, who was farm laborer on the same
farm, had fallen In love with the girl, and
anger at her refusal to marry him
caused him to outrage and then
kill her. y He pounded her head to jelly,
and slashed her abdomen with a knife
evidently trying to conceal the traces OF
the outrage.
lie escaped, but was captured several
days later.
Before committing the crime Lake wrote
a confession of what he was about to do,
and said his life had been ruined because
he was OF illegitimate birth. The finding
OF this document helped both in the cap
ture and conviction Of Lake.

an Apparent Murder Mystery.

A workman while engaged in digging
the cellar of the new engine station on
Wickenden street yesterday afternoon
stuck his spade into some hard substance,
which afterward proved to be O board,
The board developed into a box and the
box into coffin. As the man worked
around the box the side was broken in
and exposed to view what were thought to
be bones of q child. All work was
stopped, and an investigation begun, for
visions of some terrible deed flashed
through the laborers' minds.
Captain McGill was summoned, and
when told why. he began TO smile, and
told thom that the remains were none
other than those of poor old ''Kaiser," at
zone time an every day dog and the prop
erty OF Deputy Chief Egan. The faith
full canine ended his earthly career when
Mr.. Egan was captain of the Third Sta
tion.
II has been decided to remove the earth
from around the box very carefully, so as
not to disturb it, and let the remains rest
where they are in peace and quietude.

Laul VI is5 nan
"Dorcas," musical comedy new to the
town, was presented at the matinee at the
Providence yesterday by Pauline Hall
and her opera company, and will have the
boards for the rest OF the week.
"Dorcas" Is an opera without chorus.
fashioned on the style of operatic play
writing that distinguished "Miss Helyett." F"
1t tells a merry story with musical accom-
paniment, and Is interpreted by a COM
pany OF extraordinary ability as
comedians and vocalists. The
score and libretto are the work of the
Paultons, who wrote "Erminie," and plot
and dialogue are interesting and fairly
bright. The music, while Offering
little that is strikingly original,
is exceedingly tuneful and is sung
in fine style, every member of the
company being an accomplished vocalist.
Miss Hall is popular in Providence, and
the part of the Lady Honoria offers oppor-
tunity for pretty and chic costuming,
with an abundance of breezy business
and good singing numbers. jeanette st.
Henry is handsome woman, too,
and sings excellently well. Miss
Kate Davis has part built to her remark
able and quite unique talents as an up
roarous burlesque, and she is a big feature
in the amusement-serving design OF
"Dorcas." Bradshaw, the comedian;
Hugh Chilvers, first rate bari
tone; F. Michelena, most accept
able tenor, and the other members
OF the company, women and men, con-
tribute an ample share in the entertain
ment, the success OF which depends
rather more on their fine rendering of the
work of the authors as upon the work
itself. Since Miss Hall departed from
the routine of the old favorites of comic
opera she has had no. hing so acceptable
az Is this new comedy and the music OF 1t
has not been exceeded for pleasure by the
best of the singing that has been listened
to In this opera house this season. The
performances yesterday were marked by
rare artistic finish, and the national song
anniversary was observed by the singing
OF "America" at the last curtain.
At the Saturday matinee "Dorcas"
souvenirs will be presented TO the ladies
present.
John Drew, who makes his first aprear-
ance in Providence, as a star at the Opera
House the first part of the week, will
draw large and fashionable audiences.
Nr. Drew will be supported by Miss
Maude Adams and the same excellent
company that have been associated with
him for three years. Easily the
leading light comedian OF the
country, his personations are awaited
with interest. On Monday evening and
at the Wednesday matinee, Henry Guy
Cartoons comedy, The Butterflies, .
will be presented. This comedy has had
n vogue OF 200 nights at Palmer's Theater
New York, and equally long runs
in the other centres. On Tues
day and Wednesday nights Mr.. Drew's
first success OF his starring tour, "The
Masked Ball." will be the bill. Both
comedies are delicious trihes, in which
love, wit and and the dolce far niente pre-
vail. Special stage settings will enhance
the presentations.
