Posts London financial cablegram says: The

is that discount houses have raised their

action of the discount brokers Is entirely
explained by the fact that this Is the irst
day of the consols settlement, money being

THIEVES AND PICNPOCKETs busy,
They Improved Their Opportunities
MOndnN Might.

Monday night offered fertile opportunity
20 crooks, as practically the entire police
force was In the heart OF the city engaged
in connection with the big demonstration.
1t is strange however. that all the work OF
the thieves was confined to the business
section OF the city, not case being re-
ported from the residence portion.
From this it is Judged that the
crooks were unacquainted with the city.
Moreover. they seemed to want nothing
but money, as in all the places that were
entered little property was carried away
The pickpockets did their work in the
crowd that assembled about Boyd's theater
waiting for the popocratic candidate to APP
pear. There was a big jam there, the
only one on Bryan's route in the city, and
an excellent opportunity was offered to
pickpockets. The following cases have
been reported:
C. A. Tracy, lost sl2; L. NJ. Rawitzer,
$50; T. Jores, farmer from Washington
county, $50; j. =. Johnson of Grand Island,
SIS; Samuel Mortenson, $50; A. Hospe, $40.
Burglars were also active. but confined
their work to the business section, al
though all the cases were on streets OFF
from the line OF march. These streets
We're practically deserted The excellent
opportunity offered was shown by the fact
that the crooks entered the store OF the
Dayton Jewelry company in the Range
block on Fifteenth street by climbing over
the transom OF the front dooor. They ran
sacked the drawers and boxes in the place,
but carried OFF nothing except one silver
watch and about so. all the money they
could find. The burglary iss supposed &c
have occurred about . o'clock
The crooks were as bold at Thirteenth
and Jackson streets, but a block and hal
from the police station They broke tn,
window of the front door and then unlocked
the door They departed after rifing th'
cash drawer of all that it contained, only
small sum.
Visits were made to the commission house
about Eleventh and Howard streets. TIL
places of Cross & Williams. W. e Ridell
Mullen & Husband were all entered' Ii
each case entrance was effected through
rear door. The burglars departed with thu
money they could find, which averaged
about $40 to each place.

Court OHicinI.

double dose of humiliation had TO be
swallowed by Ed Porter. Bryan shouter
Monday night. Porter ran up against the
wrong person when he struck Police Court
Clerk Peter Schwenk, who was in command
OF the German-Am division of the pa
rade
Porter chose as the place of his little
pleasantly Sixteenth street and Capitol
avenue and as the time the moment when
the German section was passing. He
shouted hard for the popocratic candidate
and in his enthusiasm swung a club wildly
about The stick struck Captain Schwenk
in the back.
Captain Schwenk then performed an act
that was an unequivocal case of coercion.
He and his son sped after Porter, who had
taken to his heels, and captured him. They
dragged him back to the parade and forced
him to march between them in the line.
Porter kicked, but 1t did no good. The two
Schwenks marched him from Capitol avenue
to Webster street on Sixteenth and then
back again to Douglas, where Porter was
turned over to a policeman.
Yesterday morning a complaint was lodged
against the Bryanite charging him with
assault and battery upon Schwenk. He was
found guilty and fined So and costs.
