THE WACHHORST ROBBERY.
Holden Held for Trial on Five Thousand
Dollars Bail.
Gus Devine Examined and the Case
Taken Under Advise
ment.

In Justice Davis court yesterday Gus
Devine and Frank Holden (the latter
with q half-dOZen aliaSeS) were exam
1Led on charges of committing the
Wachhorst diamond robbery. Holden
who is known among his friends as
John O'Neil-waS held to answer and
the case of Devine was taken under ad-
v;sement until to-day.
Holden is the man who broke in the
window and took the case of diamond
rings, and Devine, one of his friends, is
suspected of having had a hand in the
secretion of the jewels. The case of
Devine was the first to be taken up.
H. Wachhorst testified to the facts
concerning the breaking of the show
window of his store and the taking of
case of diamonds therefrom- When he
ran out to the sidewalk quite a number
of persons had gathered there. A
large cobblestone was used in break
ing the window.
Mr.. Wachhorst did not remember
having seen Devine in or about his
store on the day of the robbery, or the
preceding one.
The actual loss on the rings not re-
covered is approximately 81, 300, cost
price The retail market price would
be nearly if not quite $4,000 said Mr..
Wachhorst.
w. J. Hogan, the restaurant-keeper
who intercepted Holden in his flight
and subsequently captured him. He
heard the crash of the broken window
and ran to the sidewalk. He saw a man
running toward him with something in
his hand. Witness struck him. Holden
ran and some one tripped him up and
he dropped the package carried in his
hand. Holden was soon captured, and
as witness returned he saw w. Z. Ger
Der picking up some diamonds that had
fallen from the case when Holden fell.
Witness never saw Devine.
Z F. Foran, a printer, heard a
crash and saw a man take something
from Wachhorst'S window and saw a
crowd chasing him. The witness
tripped him up and with the aid Of an
other man captured him Holden had
rothing in his hand when caught. Wit
ness did not see Devine there, and
never saw him until in court.
w. H. Katzenstein, acting police Off
GER, was on Fourth street at the time
the window was robbed. He heard the
crash caused by the breaking of the
window and hastened toward j street.
He saw a man running toward him, and
at Fourth and ] streets the man
seemed to slip and fell. No one was
within ten feet of him when he fell, but
he was soon surrounded and seized.
Witness was quite certain he saw
Devine at Fourth and J streets at the
time the crowd gathered about Holden.
He had his coat collar turned up and a
handkerchief tied about his neck. He
elbowed his way through the crowd
quite excitedly as il anxious to reach
Holden.
Mr. Katzenstein could not positively
identify Devine, but was quite sure he
was the person he saw there

Practical Intelligence.

Great as was the damage wrought in
this city by the hurricane which swept
northward Tuesday night, there is ample
reason for congratulation in the fact that
oDly one human being within the District
OF Columbia suffered loss of life. This is
really most remarkable. Elsewhere, men
and women were killed in numbers and not
surprisingly. for so powerful storm invari-
ably claims many victims. Here, though,
has been extraor iinary immunity, for which
We are, of course. deeply grateful There
was no reason why We should have been
more fortunate than some of the suburban
communities not so far distant 1t would
have been only a sensible conclusion to
imagine that We must fare worse here than
would the dwellers in small towns, and
because the deadly agencies more COM
mon in Washington Before the hurricane
had spent its strength it laid low a great
percentage of the telegraph and telephone
wires, with an occasional electric-light wire
thrown in TO make things interesting. Yet
cnly a horse was electrocuted, and there are
no reports of serious injury to anyone from
electrical causes. This amazing record is
due to two things: The care exercised by
the electrical corporations and the good
sense of the people of Washington; these
latter having been so thoroughly instructed
as to the dangers of such wires that they
let the experts do all the handling. On
ordinary occasions one may touch telephone
and telegraph wires without being shocked
but when those apparently harmless strings
come into contact with 4 heavily-charged
e.actric-lisht wire then they are as danger
Gus as the big copper conductor from which
they get the destroying force. For deliver
auce from this variety of peril Washing
tCnians may properly thank themselves;
their intelligence has. so far, been their
salvation. VIII not that same intelligence
exert itself to bring into lively existence a
law which will compel the burial of every
wire? Some wires are now in conduits
because the law says they must be, others
will go below in obedience to that same
Statute, but there will still be above ground
a great many more that ought to be be-
ne ath the street surface. If We are Intelli-
gent enough to recognize danger why are
We not sufficiently intelligent to make
organized aud persistent effort to eliminate
that danger entirely?

The city sadly needs a harbor boat and
time and again the fact is given fresh
demonstration by the Generalization of the

from session 10 session to secure an ade-
quate appropriation the decrepit Black
burn still remains as the sole apology
for river patrol, unable in any emer-
gency to perform the duties required of
such a boat An occasion for this sort
of service came Tuesday night, when the
steamer Leary broke loose from her moor

ternational agreement cannot be stated at
this time. The United States is a powerful
country, and commands respect in the mar
kets of the world. If Mr.. Mckinley is
elected he will exert the influence of his
great office in behalf of an international
agreement. He pledges this, and there Is
every reason for accepting his pledge with
out the slightest question. The large and
steadily increasing number of Mckin1eys
supporters who do not believe In the prac-
ticablity and desirability of bimetallism.

this pledge is dspleasing. will concede its
sincerity and binding force; and so must

the silver men, by making in this campaign
desperate fight for Independent free coin
age at the arbitrary ratio of Is to 1. and by
scofing at the republican suggestion Of an
international agreement, have decreased
the prospects of such agreement. in case
they are badly defeated in November. They
have repudiated the party which has weak
ened itself to pass legislation for their spe-
cial benefit. dertded the promise Of that
party to do as much for them in the future
as Is consistent with the public interest
and formed coalition to defeat and de-
stroy that party. The thorough and gen.
eral discussion of the financial question
which has resulted from this action of the
siiverites has unquestionably converted

perfunctory bimetallists into single stand

against the silver party, whose course they
are inclined to denounce as the climax of
splteful ingratitude. knowledge of this
iact, and the uneasy consciousness that
they will not be in position to call with
good grace upon Mckinley to fulfill his sill
yer pledge, if elected, perhaps account for
the disposition of the silverites to question
the sincerity of that pledge. Certainly
they have left nothing undone in this cam
paign to destroy the middle ground, to null
hfy the obligation of compromise assur-
ances. and to make the real fight one to
the death between silver and gold, though
the nominal issue is merely the sanity of
