PUTNBY.
The sunday school InstItute.

The Sunday School Institute to COM
prise all the Sunday schools in Dummers-
ton, Westminster and Putney and con-
Quoted by l. b. Miller, field secretary for
Vermont and New Hampshire, began in
the Baptist church of our village Tuesday
morning at 9:45 o'clock. The rain of the
forenoon was one cause of a small audience
which included, however, the expected
official visitors, and delegates representing
nine schools-fve Congregational, three
Baptist and one Methodist.
A praise service, led by Rev. II. E. Par
ker opened the morning program. Mrs.
l.. A. Pierce of Westminster, presented a
practical and helpful paper on the "Pri-
mary department" Then the "Main
department of the Sunday school was
represented by G. w. Osgood of Bellows
Falls in very original, thoughtful and i'm
pressive manner. Secretary l. b. Miller
discussed the "Normal department" and
reported one Normal training school for
teachers in this state and a class already
graduated. Rev. Z. f. Mitchell read an
article prepared by superintendent of a
Home department. Mr.. Miller considered
the Home department a valuable auxiliary
by way of providing regular instruction
and privileges to the aged, invalids, and
others who could not attend the Sunday
school. Interesting questions and discus
sions followed each of these papers.
The afternoon session began at 1:45
O'Clock with conservation service led by
W. G.. Stevens. The following hour was
occupied by detailed reports from the del
egates. At o'clock the topic "How can
we increase our attendance? A, by pas
tor; b, by a superintendent; C, by teacher;
d, by scholar, was treated by Rev. E. F.
Mitchell, Deacon A. p. Ranney, Mrs. j. F.
Washburn and Miss Gertrude WOODBURY.,
respectively. A conspicuous and unfor
tunate feature of this Sunday school gather
ing was the absence of so many, only 70
in attendance. But the clearing weather
of the afternoon, the hospitality of the
ladies and the pastor of the entertaining
church, together with the refreshing in
spiration from the visiting fellow workers,
were contributing causes to the pronounced
and ultimate success of the convention.

HIT By a G0WARDLY RUFPIAN
An Alleged Prize Fighter Attacks a
EadT at a BnII.

The Huneh Backs. al organization COM
prised of the young men Of the Long
Dock quarter. rave a dance in Woods
Hall last night. The floor managers en-
deavored TO keep undesirable people and
young men with questionable regulations
on of the hall. They succeeded pretty
well. but in some way 'sJoe'' Craig, an
alleged prize fighter. worked his way in.
One Of the young ladies who attended
the dance out OF curiosity as much as
anything else, was Miss May A. Burke,
of No. 1874 Morgan street. She was sitting
at a table drinking glass Of soda when
Craig, with his hat over his left ear
and a cigarette poked up under his nose,
entered. With an expression of sIv'e-got-
her-dead2 enshis hard face. he approached
Miss Burke and endeavored to engage her
in conversation, but she turned from
him. He annoyed her for an hour or
more and finally he demonstrated his
pugilistic courage by striking the young
woman a cruel blow in the face. Several
friends of the young lady gathered and
had not Craig quit the hall he would
have been roughly handled.
This morning Miss Burke caused his
arrest. Justice Potts committed him to
await the action Of the Grand Jury with
out any ceremony.

Some additional facts were learned las
night concerning the robbery in Hoboken
last summer and concerning the thieves
and the manner in which they success
fully worked three houses in that town,
al on one street and IN broad daylight.
The houses entered sand robbed were
those Of A. 4. Hexamer, at No. 2ls; DR..
Gelbaeh, at No. 7o4. ana Mr.. George Rich
mond at No. ss2 Hudson street. AT Hex
amer's the thieves stole in cash and
Jeweiry about $500 worth. At. DR.. Gel
bach's, a gold watch and chain valued at
500, and some pieces of 5ewelry were
taken, and at Richmond's 500 in cash
and some 5ewelry were taken.
A fair example of their methods Of en-
tering a house Gamble shown by the way
they are known to have entered the Rich
mond's house, On tbs afternoon of june
q last. two young men entered No. 1874
Hudson street, a fat house, by the side
door. They had followed a grocer boy
who had some groceries to deliver to one
OF the tenants. The two men went up
stairs to the TOP floor. They assembled
the adder to the scuttle and were soon
on the roof. From the roof Of No. SSl
they stepped to the root of No. 1892, Mr..
H~iehrnond's residence and descended
lhrugn the scuttle of Mr.. Richmonds
mouse into his apartments and helped
themselves to everything they wished on
the upper floor. While the two thieves
were operating up stairs, Mrs. Richmond,
her daughter and two servants were
down stairs, unconscious of anyone in
the house but themselves.
n thieves, who are William Mitchell
and Bueko Smith, left by the way they
anne and Joined their confederate, Michael
Lundo. who had stood on guard outside.
No trace OF the thieves or of stolen
roperty of any Of the three houses
which had been robbed was found till one
day In August. These three men were
then arrested in Brooklyn for robbing a
house. In their possession were found
pawn tickets, These pawn tickets were
taken TO the shops where they We're
issued. and, as told in yesterdays News
both Mr.. Hexamer and DR.. Gelbach re-
covered part of their property.
The Oldest of these crooks is only
twenty-three years, although young in
years they are old in crime. Their faces
adorn the rogues' gallery In New York
city They have been arrested a num-
Der of times IN New York for burglary,
but have never suffered punishment, ow-
ing, Il Is said, to lack of evidence or
people failing TO appear against them.
Today they are lodged IN Raymond street
jail, Brooklyn awaiting trial for six in
dement's. four for sneak thievery and
two for threatening murder.
