BURGLAR, in covington,

The Allegheny Sentinel says that, on SUM-
day night of last week, while the clerk who
sleeps in the store was at church, the store of
Mr.. Lewis Payne was burglarized and 80
calibre Smith and Wesson revolver and a
number of pocket knives stolen. The cash
drawer was opened, but as it happened, there
was no money in it. Entrance was gained by
prying open the shutter to one of the back
windows and raising the window.
Also one of the shutters of Mr. Hitsch' s
drugstore which adjoins was opened, and it
is supposed the thief was scared away as this
store was not entered.
This is only repetition of many such
crimes of recent date in Covington, and as the
manner of entrance and the conduct of the
burglar on the inside is very similar in charac-
ter it is highly probably that it is the same
party or parties

students at the University of Virginia. without
the knowledge of their parents, left the Uni
versity for New York where theystook the
steamer Yumiri for Havana, Cuba, to join, it
is surmised. the insurrectionists on that Is
land.
One is Travers Hartman, son of Capt. Lewis
Hartman of this city, and the other Gordon
Thomas, of Alexandra, son of Robert j.
Thomas of Washington, who, on learning of
it, Informed the State Department and re-
quested that the U. s. authorities at Havana
be notified to intercept them. The steamer
arrived there on Wednesday, and before the
boys got off it, they found that

and that they would have to return without
the laurels they expected to win. If they
knew as much about war as their fathers they
would not have gone on the Quixotic adven-
ture. They now, no doubt, feel mortified at
their disappointment, but will hereafter re-
joice that they were prevented from carrying
out their youthful purpose.
In registering their names they gave them
in reversed order as Thos. Gordon and Har-
man Travers. They were sent back on the
steamer Seneca which left Havana for New
York on Thursday.
