peonls Were Panic stricken.

Madrid, Feb, 10,--An aerolite burst over the city of Madrid this morning causing great consternation among the inhabitants. The first warning of the explosion was 8 flash which illuminated the sky and was almost immediately followed by tremendous report, the vibration from which shattered hum dreds Of windows. The aerolite was ac- companied by a great white cloud and simultaneous with the explosion there was a trembling of the earth resembling the sensation produced by an earth quake. When the flash and ensuing re- port took place the people rushed panic stricken into the streets and some min utes elapsed before the excitement was allayed. It is estimated that the me teoric body was twenty miles above the earth when it burst.

Dr. Moses T. Tunnels, of 8 E. oth St., Kansas City, writes :- q believe the life of my daughter, now four and a half years old was saved by the use of Bovinine during her dentition.

lngs of over $15, OO0,OO0 while the grand list during that time shows only an in- crease of $S,S00,0
 While we are aware that property is listed far below its full value, We fail to understand why our grand list has advanced at such slow pace.
 The grand list of Hartford, with population of 62,OO0, exhibits a showing of $5S, ,S6S, ,6S3, difference in our favor of $lSl, ,Sl7. Our city, with population of 100000. appears, therefore, out of all proportion, and it is evident that im- proved property as listed has not kept pace with the rapid growth of our city. May we hope that the new system of reassessment, which will go into effect in 1898, will improve and relieve matters in this respect, and to q considerable ex- tent solve one of the difficult problems so long prevailing.
 It has been estimated that we have about $13,OOO,00 of property which es- capes taxation by exemption and which each year Is increasing to wit.

The Mint Steal.

Ihos. w. Conner was called for the
prosecution. He Is cupellar in the
assay Office of the Mint. Previous to
this he was foreman of the refinery.
He explained the process by which
gold was treated in the refinery while
he was there and said: II assisted in
weighing the gold deposits on Sun
day, Feb. 10, 1895; ] was passing on
the street when Harris called me and
asked me to help him; on entering
the Mint he requested me to bring all
the gold deposits out of the vault
and place them on a bench near
the scales. 1 did SO and Ellis weigh
ed them while Harris sat at his desk
and checked the bars as they we're
weighed; gold bar No. 166 was miss
ing; did not take it and l do not
think Harris did. When the loss was
discovered Harris said it should be in
the vault and that it must be there;
he accused no one of taking it.
Andrew Mason was then called and
gave lengthy account on mint work
lngs which lasted about two hours.
Nothing of Importance was devel-
oped IN the fore part of the testi-
mony given in the afternoon. Mason
pied the time telling of the Mint
operations and the amount of losses
liabilities to loss, allowance, etc.
@When l first came here" the wit
ness continued, Il had a general
clean up made; asked each employee
of the mint what they knew of the
shortage; the defendant John Z.
JONES' was among the number; the
spurious bar could not have been
made without the knowledge of the
Meter and Rehner or his assistant.
If the Meter and Retiner trusted the
duties to his assistant. his assistant
must have been the man who knew of
the illegal ope rations."

STRICKEN WITH APOPLBXY
Juryman Edward De Moll Fell Dy-
ing On the Street.
He Was Removed to Emergency Hos
pital, Where He Died without
Regaining Consciousness.

Edward De Moll, an old resident OF
Capitol Hill, died yesterday afternoon at
the Emergency Hospital from stroke OF
apopiexy.
He was a juryman in criminal court No.
l, and left the court house ut O'Clock, in
apparently excellent health. He met some
friends on Four-and-a-half street and after
a chat. started toward the Avenue. He
walked as far as tile Enrich Hotel. when
lie was seen to fall ON the pavement. A
crowd gathered around the UNCONSCIOUS
man, attracting the attention OF Police
man Sullivan. who thought At first from
Mr.. De MoIrs condition that he had been
assaulted.
A hurry call was sent for the patrol
wagon, and he was taken 10 the hospital.
The doctors saw IL was an apopletic
stroke, and worked over him without avail.
He never regained CONSCIOUSNESS, dying
within an hour
Papers ana letters In his pocket showed
his identity. and a telephone message was
sent to the drug store OF T. ID. De Moll. a
relative OF the dead man. The body was
removed to the undertaker's and then to
Mr.. De Moll's late home, No. $40 Eighth
street southeast. where he lived with his
sister.
Mr.. De Molls leaves four sens, two of
them grown. His wife died some time
ago. He wus fifty-nine years of age and
at the time of his death was not actively
engaged in business.
Arrangements for the funeral have not
yet been made.

That Washington is a playground and
a profitable one. for gang of clever
professional thieves. is evidenced by the big
robbery of silyerware early Thursday
morning from the residence of Rev. Richard
Lewis Howell. No. 1929 New Hampshire
avenue, as told in yesterdays Evening
Times.
The police force and headquarters men
pronounce the theft as the work of the
skilful crooks who terrorized. last winter,
the swell PORTION Of Washington with
series of bcld. profitable burglaries, at
the Eouses OF Ter. Mendonca, the Brazilian
minister; MIR, j. l.. NJ. Curry, ex-minister
to Spain: Mrs. General Anderson, and Mrs.
Veddeer. UP to this tine there has not
been a single clew turned up. nor man
arrested. whose completely could be
proven in the most shadowy manner.
MOTHER SoLoMoN'S ARREST.
Once the detectives thought the mystery
was analyZed when they arrested an old
woman called Mother Solomon. living on
Fourteenth street, directly south of the
Avenue. She was suspected or keeping
fence. A lot OF siiyerware was found III
her house. None OF IL could be identified
and she was acquitted by Jury OF the
charge of receiving stolen property.
With Mother Solomon's acquittal the last
hope of unearthing the thieves vanished.
While the detectives did not become
apathetic in the matter they had other
crimes TO claim their attention, and the
daring deprcdations gradually faded from
the public mind until yesterday
So intense was the feeling at that period
that it caused Lieut.. Boyee, OF the Third pre-
cinct, to patrol his section with an in
creased force during the night.
EXTRA POLICE FORCE.
The detectives from headquarters and
those attached to the stations worked as
sidiously to detect the thieves. The latter
must have known of the extra precautions
for no more was heard from them until
yesterday when Mr.. Howell reported the
robbery.
III DO instance have the crooks burdened
themselves with plated stuff. combining
their plunder strictly to Silverware. They
, have also used Il nice discrimination In the
mansions visited. preying On the army, the
diplomatic corps. and the naval service,
and lastly insulting the cloth in taking away
without leave. the treasured heIrloomS and
plate OF a churchman.
The police. as heretofore, advance the
theory of professionals doing the job
quickly. leaving town on early trains, and
dest rowing forever the identity OF the
stuff in melting pot.
The burglars are too shrewd to use
pa wn shop. where their booty could be
run down.

lous memory for thieves faces. and keen
