His lips upon her hair and whispering:

nothing can take you away from me?'
Elsie put her arms up to his neck and hid
her face upon his shoulder. Her sohs came
more lightly, but she had been too strange

She turned her face with brave attempt
at chez and hope to VIII. but even in the
growing darkness he could see that she
was still suffering acutely- from shock.
Mr. Warren was even more wrought upon

fathers threatening attitude to the
stranger although she must have known
from his words what he had done, and her
lover was as little inclined as her father to
impress upon her mind the ugly fact that
murder had been imminent in the peaceful
household.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
Gang of Lamp Smashing Boys Cnptur
ed by Police.

Gang of Lamp Smashing Boys Cnptur-
ed by Police.
The Lovers lane gas lamp smashers have
heen caught at last-at least one gang of
them. Yesterday eleven boys were caught
making targets of the panes. Officer Hart
man in civilian dress made the "swoop'' on
the boys, taking the whole crowd then, and
succeeding in getting all within a square Of
the station house. There a break occurred,
seven escaping. The ringleaders were held.
The police know the others sufficiently well
to get them. The ones locked up were
Clinton Kearney, Joseph Calhoun, Samuel
Tucker and George Hall.
Two years ago there was such constant
smashing of these lane panes kept up that
the lamps had to be removed. A renewal Of
the glasses was always followed by an i'm
mediate destruction. Detection of the Gull
prits seemed impossible.
Finally, after long absence on the earn
est solicitation of MIR. James EMERSON, who
resides at Clifton" the beautiful home at
the northern end of the lane, the lamps
were reinstated, and special watches put
out on the line.
The increased efforts of the authorities to
bring the destroyers to Justice has at last
been successful.
1t is rot believed that the arrested boys
are the original destructonists, bat an ex-
ample will be made of them, 1t is hoped.
Lovers lane is the entrance from George
town to the Rock Creek valley, and opens
out on Road street between Both and 31st
streets.
Just before the arrest of the boys COM
plant was received at the station from the
Jackson school building, on Road street, to
the effect that the classes were being an
noyed by outside boys, who were throwing
pebbles and sand against the windows. 1t
appears that the lamp smashers engaged
in this amusement before their entry into
the lane.
These same boys were seen to shamefully
treat mentally afflicted woman in the
lane. pulling at her dress, using the most
indecent language and harassing her as
much as possible.
Broken Leg.
While going up the steps Of 302l P street
day before yesterday, Mrs. Louise Wester-
welt. an aged lady, residing at 3116 Dunn
barton street. slipped, fell and broke the
lower part of her left leg.
Mrs. Westervelt was conveyed to her
home in the invalids' chair used for Col.
Magruders comfort.

Resisted Arrest.

Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock there
was an exciting scene on Louisiana ave-
nue. between 9th and 10th streets when
Policeman Schuyler arrested Joseph Rob-
ertson, who was under the influence of
liquor. Robertson declined to CO. and a
severe struggle ensued, during which the
policeman was deprived of his club. When
the prisoner mad taken his club from him
the officer started to draw his pistol, but
refrained from doing so. Threats to kill
the officer were made by Robertson, and
willie the struggle was going on Robert
sons brother William appeared on the
scene and took hand in the affair.
The father of the young men was also
there, and he did what he could to pre-:
vent serious trouble. A number of per-
sons in the crowd called to the officer to
club the prisoner, but instead of doing SO
he bore patiently with him and finally sue
ceeded in getting him in the patrol wagon.
The case was heard in Judge Miller's
court today, and the two brothers paid
SIS in fines.

Winter, With a Large Attendance.
After the long summer vacation and I'M
der NEST favorable auspices, the Choral
Society last night resumed it's work of re-
hearsals for tn. fall and winter. The at
tendance was the largest ever seen on
opening night, and argued well for the sue
cess of the society in the season just en-
tered upon. AS the members gathered in
the rooms of the society in Typographical
Hall many pleasant acquaintances were
renewed, and quite a reception was held
until the director, DIR. Harry Sherman.
called for order and started at once upon
the active work of rehearsal.
After few choruses from Sampson and
Delilah had been sung, DR.. Frank T.
Howe the vice president of the society,
stepped to the platform, and in the alb
sence of the president, Mr.. William II.
Daniel, who is indisposed, formally called
the meeting to order. He regretted, he
said. the absence of. the president, who
was SO deeply interested in the work Of
the society. 1t was cause for congratula-
ton, however. he said. that so many men,
ters were present, and the favorable show
ing made and the suspicious circumstances
OF the opening showed how much the men,
bers were in love with their work. He
said that the society could do its work
with more credit to itself than ever, and

Mr.. d. G. Pfeiffcr, chairman of the

marks in which he stated that the work
Of the board of directors was farther ad-
vanced this year than 1t had ever been at
the opening of a season. The winters work
had been mapped out, and soloists for the
different concerts already engaged Every
thing, he said, had been placed on a strict

bright for successful year.

been away for more than a year attending
the high school at DENLY, the nearest large
town. When she returned VIII had found
the gulf greater than before. In fact, it
was net til then that he recognized it, and
in the crude, honest analysis to which he
subjected his emotions ard the situation he
made the important ard startling discovery
that Elsie was now woman!

on Pomeroy street in the county, dropped
dead OIL the street near 10th and L streets
