A LONG RECORD.
A Burglar Who Robbed Mrs. Oieda's
House Wednesday Night
Arrested

Joseph Kearney, young man we'll
known at the Industrial School, House OF
Correction and the State prison at San
Quentin, was met with a chest on his
shoulder Thursday morning at $40 o'clock
by Policemen William Ross and George
Tracey. KearEey could give no satisfac-
tory explanation and was taken to the
Southern police station and locked up on
suspicion.
Later in the morning Mrs. Ojeda of 92315
Mission street called at the station and re-
ported that her house had been robbed.
When shown the chest she identified it
and its contents as being part of the plum
der taken. Kearney was charged with
burglary. If convicted he will probably
receive heavy sentence, for he has long
record Of former convictions that will be
brought up against him. On MAY 81
1879, he was sent to the Industrial School
for petty larceny, the charge having been
reduced from burglary in the second de-
gree. In March. 1881, he was given two
years in the House of Correction for grand
larceny. In January, 1888, he and COM
panlon held up a man at the corner of
Jackson street and Washington avenue.
but Chief Crowley and Police Commits
sloner Tobin happened to be passing and
took them in. For this Kearney got three
years IN San Quentin. In June, 1889, he
got SIX months for petty larceny. On March
4, 1880, he was held to answer for assault
to murder, but was released; in Novem-
per, 1881, he was sent to San Quentin for
an assault with deadly weapon. and in
April, 1888, got thirty days in the House
OF Correction for petty larceny.

GOETHE-SCHILLER BALL,
The Central Committee OF the Monu-

Future Grand Affair

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held last evening by the central commit.
tee of the Goethe-SchiIler Monument Asso-
citation.
1t was decided to hold grand ball.
which will take place on March at Elm
tracht Hall.
At the ball the various presents remain
ing from the last festival of the associa-
will be raffied away.
1t was arranged that 30 per cent of the
proceeds of the bar will be turned over
10 the society besides the gate receipts.
1t is estimated that the expenses of the
affair will not amount to 500, while the
society expects to make between 500 and
$780, The amount netted from this occa-
sion will be added TO the fund already in
the treasury. The arrangement commit

OUT OF JAIL,
The Kansas Elopers Have Been Released
and the Woman Refuses to Re-
join Her Husband

The elopers from Kansas City have been
released from the City Prison as Chief
Crowley has come to the conclusion that
their detention was without warrant of
law. Mrs. Charlton, who had eloped with
Rich, taking her two boys with her. had a
conference with her husband yesterday.
He tried to persuade her to return with
him, and failing in that asked to be al
lowed to take his two boys back to Law
renee. Mrs. Charlton was naturally nm.
wiling to part with her children. but
finally consented to leave the determine
tion of the question to them. The bows
who are bright little fellows, promptly de-
cided the matter by refusing to 60 with
their father. Mr.. Charlton then left the
prison, saying he would make application
to the courts for the custody of his chill
dren.
Mrs. Charlton left the prison with Rich.
One of the Kansas City papers in speaking
of the case condemned the husband for his
treatment of his wife and expressed the
opinion that the sympathy of the COM
munity would be with her. Back of this
elopement there appears to be romance
in which a dead woman plays an i'm
portant part. Rich's wife died last Nav.
1t seems that she and Mrs. Charlton had
been warm friends from girlhood. Mrs.
Rich was familiar with the family history
of Mrs. Charlton and with the fact that
she was not happy in her domestic rela-
tions. On her death bed she made her
husband promise that in case Mrs. Charl-
ton was ever liz trouble he would do all in
his sower to assist her. Rich was in New
Orleans when he learned that Mrs. Charl-
ton had been driven to leave her husband.
and his prompt tender of assistance was,
he says, the fulfllment of the promise
made to his dead wife.

However, let Mr.. Creamy have his say"
Mr.. Creamy then took the stand and had
his little say. He said he had presented
claim for $500 against the estate of the
late John Roach for services rendered him
in connection with the administration of
the Blythe estate, during the time inter-
Venlng between the deaths of Philip A.
and John Roach. He said he had pre-
pared the seven manuscript volumes
offered in evidence by Mr.. McEnerney and
had never been paid for the work.

that to do with the Blythe estate? Your
claim would appear to be rather against
the estate of the late Philip A. Roach. By
the way did Mr.. Roach pay you nothing
for your services in connecti ion with the
Blythe administration? ?''
"He paid me $100 month, that is dur
ing portion of the time responded the
claimant, with some hesitation; ''but he
also said l could get more when he should
receive the money due him for back com
missions. With the expectation of getting

shoes and stockings. As soon as he
felt himself being wound into the shaft
he braced himself against post and
held back for dear life, something had
to give way, and it was clothing, with
the result as stated. Tull's piercing
screams were heard by the engineer
and the machinery was stopped. All
hands expected to find Tull seriousl V
injured, but he had only few slig hit
bruises ON his body. After it was
ascertained that he was not badly hurt

HAWKS OBSCURE THE Sun.
The Season Next Following the
Snake Season in Maryland
Opens Well.

Next to the Eastern Shore, the
western counties are the most interest
ing portion OF Maryland 1t is never
dull in western Maryland There is
always something going on. Directly
after the snake season closes in Wash
lngton county, the hawk season begins
in Allegany. This past season was
one of the best snake eras in The history
of Washington county. Each day
there was snake story, until people
got to expect them in the morning
paper and felt sorry when by some
chance they did not appear The
closing one of the series appeared the
other day. A snake along the canal
had ruined its digestion by swallowing
an enormous ear of Washington county
corn. with the shuck on, in the same
raw condition rs were the stories people
had to swallow
But, as we have said. that story ends
the series, and the hawk season has
promptly opened in Allegany, the
adjoining county. Recently the Sun
received the following despatch from II
correspondent i'll Cumberland
Farmers from the lower sections of
Allegany county report the passage in
a southwesterly direction of flock of
hawks that was two miles wide. and
was fully three hours in crossing the
valley. The sun was obscured for a
while by the moving black cloud. One
farmer, not satisfied rs to the species
of the birds, fired into the flock and
brought down SIX. They were found
to belong TO the bird and not chicken
hawk species
Some people may think that this
story is exaggerated, and that the
farmers in the lower part Of Allegany
expanded two yards into two miles,
just as some people suppose they can
expand 30 cents into dollar. But
the story may he entirely correct, ex-
cept possibly with respect to the cloud
being two miles wide. 1t may have
lacked some little Of that width.
We have some indi>tinct recollection
OF true hawk story which came from
the Eastern Shores some wears ago.
According 10 that story one Of the
most remote districts Of Dorchester
county, bordering on the bay, was
visited by hawks in multitude such
as is described III the Cumberland
despatch ; possibly not quite such Il
multitude, but still multitude. Al
that time the county was paving Il
reward for hawks scalps. When the
hawks appeared, therefore, every man
and boy who had gun went to
Strengthening hawks, and the county
was only saved from bankruptcy by
the failure of the supply OF ammunl-
ton. As ii was, the bill for hawk
scalps was 50 great that an act was
rushed through the next Legislature to
repeal the hawk bounty. Indeed. some
of the Eastern Shoremen wanted a
special session called. - Baltimore SIM.
