Street. ., q. ...,
When James Flanaghan, of 9O9 Slo-
cum street, South Side, arrived home
about o'clock yesterday morning from
work, his occupation being that of
night watchman at the "Y" on Lacka-
wanna avenue. noises such as would
be made by a burglar came from the
front part of the first floor. Mr.. Flana-
CHAN had gone in through the kitchen.
Upon investigating he found the din
ing room and parlor in n ransacked
shape and he heard the door of II closet
i'm the dining room close. He went tn
1t and was rewarded by finding a we'll
dressed young man whom he did not
know. crouched in hiding. They grap-
Piled with each other, but the burglar
had the advantage of Mr.. Flanaghan,
who wears an artificial limb, and he got
away.
What he took was trivial, compared
to what he might have helped himself
to- but for he was caught. His booty
will not exceed in value $40, and it con-
sisted of silverware principally. Mr..
Flanaghan's family sleeps on the sec
ond floor where money and valuables
Is kept The burglar had not been in
very many minutes when he was dis
covered, and he effected an entrance
through one of the windows in the
kitchen. ...
He ran in the direction of South
Washington avenue when he got out
side, and he did not waste any time in
putting distance behind him. Who
ever he Is he must be acquainted IN
that vicinity and know Mr. Flana-
ghan's working hours. He likely eX-
pected Mrs. Flanaghan would think 1t
was her husband If she heard him.

At the office of City Treasurer c. G.
BOland tonight members Of the Dem
ocratic city committee will meet with
Mayor James G.. Bailey to consider the
matter Of making appointments.
1t was generally supposed that Mr..
Bailey would have slate ready to
submit for approval. but prominent
Democrats said yesterday afternoon
that such was not the case. The mayor
they said had not yet decided upon his
appointments and had asked for to-

W. w. Wharton's boom for chief-of
police. which was sprung a few days
ago. Is said to have practically col
lapsed. While 1t is acknowledged that
he is a most worthy young man and
probably entirely competent to hold the
office. yet he has done nothing to de-
serve the appointment. He Is cOmpara-
lively unknown to the party leaders
and 1t is said did absolutely nothing to
assist in gaining a Democratic victory
at the last election.
Many prominent Democrats say they
are willing to go to some lengths to
secure harmony in the party. but do
not think 1t absolutely essential to Sc
cure that end. that the choicest plum

AS the outlook seems to be at present

stand him aside.
After tonight's conference the sue

last election will dine the members of
the committee at the Hotel Jermyn.

Broken Siovcpips and Smoke Furnish
Fun for Penn Avcnno Ilnbitucs.
A broken stove pipe, a dense volume
of smoke and an alert policeman Gre
ated some excitement in the neighbor-
hood Of Amsbry's saloon on Penn ave-
nue. early last evening.
The policeman was told that the em-
ployes in the saloon were trying to To-
cate fire. He started for the place.
and, finding 1t filled with smoke, asked
no questions but turned in an alarm
from box Is. BY the time the fire COM
panies reached the scene it had been
ascertained that a broken stove pipe
had caused the trouble.
Meanwhile the Crystal company had
passed the scene of the excitement and
gone to the corner Of Lackawanna and
Penn avenue, where the box is To-
Gated; the Phoenix Chemical company
was skirmishing about in the vicinity
Of Spruce street, and Nay Augs. the
company nearest the saloon, was on the
spot. With the fire apparatus tearing
up and down the avenue the small boy
and eXcitable persons had plenty Of
entertainment for a few moments.
