The Invader Had n HRtchet rs He
Climbed In.
For the fourth time en- attempt was
made early yesterday morning TO burglar
lie the residence of Miss A. c. Wilbur, No.
1915 H street northwest. The last effort,
Like these which preceded IT, was for
tunately unsuccessful, but Miss Wilbur,
who got a sight Of her unwelcome visitor,
and whose screams frightened the fellow
away. is today still suffering from the
shock.
Miss Wilbur was however, able to see a
Star reporter, and to the latter she said:
Il was awakened from my sleep shortly
before 8 o'clock yesterday morning by
hearing a loud and very unusual noise and
looking up 1 saw a large colored man max
ing his way through the transcm Of my
loom, which is on the first floor. He was
armed with Ratchet, and 1 was at once
convinced that he intended to kill me. /
screamed as loudly as / could, and Mr..
Cummings, who las a room in my house,
heard me and started to come to my as
sistance.
Meanwhile the negro became alarmed
and hastily rctreatcd, but before he got
down from the transom dropped the
Ratchet inside my room. / believe, how
ever. that had the man not heard Mr..
Cummings coming to my aid he would have
continued on his way through the tran
som and murdered me despite my screams.
4 cannot conceive how it took the police
officer on the beat an hour to reach the
scene OF the trouble after its occurrence,
and though with other residents of the
square L pay a private Waterman for his
services. The latter was not to be found at
all. When the Policeman did come he took
possession of the weapon and advised me
not to say anything about the attempted
robbery"
Miss Wilbur stated. further that the late
Officer Holsey, who died a few months
ago, arrested two men while in the act of
picking the lock of the front dSor of the
house, and that, as stated above, two other
attempts have been made at different
times to break into the residence.
The house was formerly occupied as the
parsonage of old St. Matthews Catholic
Church, but for some time past has been
used as a home by persons who rented fur
niShed rooms.

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 1S.-The setting
of the sun Saturday marked the close of
Savannahs May-week celebration, and
great has been its success. Savannah &C
quilted herself nobly and displayed in her
usual royal manner her far-famed hospi-
tally. The crowds have dispersed. The
LEGAL soldier boys are enjoying the con-
seriousness of kindness and duty faithfully
performed to the visiting companies. Camp
Gordon is now just pleasant memory.
The troops that peopled it and answered
reveille and taps are speeding homeward.
The Morton Cadets, the engineer rihemen
and the Mount Pleasant Field Band came
to Savannah strangers to the residents,
but they departed friends, with an assur-
ance of even warmer welcome should
they ever return way down south in
Dixie"
The week was one of hurry and hustle,
and every one seemed to have been on nos
pitable thoughts intent. Society was par
ticularly gay, and the many social gather
ings were frightened by the glitterinS uni
forms OF the soldiers. Before this is read
the Washington contingent will be hasten
ing through Virginia toward home as rap
Idly as the Southern railway can transport
1t. AT the last moment the engineer rifle
men determined to delay their departure
from Savannah in order to return with the
champion military company of the United
States. The engineers were unexpectedly
successful in the rifle matches, and the
simultaneous arrival of the victors at the
9th street depot about $40 o'clock this
evening will be fitting and appropriate. An
effort was made to have the Mount Pleas
ant Field Band pull in at the same time
but 1t travels by another route and is not
scheduled to reach Washington till II pm
The Morton Cadets travelled to Savannah
in day coach; the champion military COM
pany Of the United States is journeying

Academy of EOrtX.

AT the last session of this society 1t was
voted to change the date of the sessions to
the third Thursday of each month. Hence,
the May meeting will occur Thursday even
ing. The topic Is Money" and Miss Mary
Durham will be the director of the CONVEX
satlon, which, it is believed, will be not so
much financial discussion as a compari-
son between the value of money and other
thlnss: However, probably no two academ-

standpoint. This Is also the date for the
annual election Of officers, and the session
is accordingly set for $50 o'clock. An out
ing for May 30 will also be considered.

FATHER DEN7'S CELEBRATED CASE
Compromises His Damage Suit Against
Friars of St Francis and Charge off Per-
jury against Him Is Dropped

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. ia sensa-
tional conclusion was arrived attn the suit
of Father Dent against the Friars Minor
Order of st. Francis before Justice Os-
born in the Supreme Court, special term,
to-day. Father Dent sued the order for
$4,000 and out of that suit developed a
charge of perjury against the priest upon
which charge he was indicted.
Yesterday; at the request of Father
Dents attorney, the District Attorney
moved to dismiss that indictment, and
Father Dent consented to the withdrawal
of his suit upon the payment of $40. 900
by the order.
This money was paid to the priest to-
day. The damage suit was instituted
three years ago and the trial begun in the
Supreme Court of this county. Colonel
George Bliss represented the order and
Father Dent appeared as his own lawyer.
On the sixth day OF the trial Father Dent
presented rescript from Rome.
Mr.. Bliss declared in an affidavit that
he was taken by surprise. and he asked
for the withdrawal of Juror. The m otion
was granted, but he had to pay Father
Dent the sum OF $3.50. The trial was then
suspended to enable Mr.. Bliss to get tes-
timony from Rome to meet Father Dents
rescript.
Two ecclesiastical dignitaries came from
Rome to prove that Father Dents rescript
was a forgery. They appeared before the
Kings County Grand Jury, and an indict-
ment charging Father Dent with perjury
was found on October 81, 1893.

became widely known through his pen
sion business and as publisher OF the
soldiers paper at the National capital, and
this, added 10 his brilliant record IN the

Fifth Violent Death Within Two
Months at the Southern
"Diggings."

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 19.-Hedges'
"boneyard," as the denizens of the little
minins camp term it, is growing. Within
the past two months five violent deaths
have added five mounds of earth to the
primitive cemetery. The last killing oc-
Cured yesterday, when Gregorio Gonzales,
a desperate, met death at the hands OF
Consta BILE Smarr.
Hedges is the center of operations of the
Golden Cross Mining Company. The rich
lodges and the remoteness of the camp
attract all kinds of desperadoes and es-
pecially those who infest the border and
take advantage of the boundary line to
escape into one country for crimes COM
mitted in the other. OF this class was
Gonzales, who will trouble the miners no
more.
Gonzales, who is said to have been q
murderer and was driven out of the State
of Sonora by the authorities, was employed
by Receiver W. w. Stewart in the Golden
Cross mines. He lived with Mexican
girl, Pancha Trigueno, whose good looks
attracted the miners and caused more
than one fight for her smiles. Another
Mexican, Timoteo Carrillo, was in love
with the senorita, and the two men quar-.
relied. Carrillo lay in wait for Gonzales
one night two weeks ago and nearly sue
ceeded in killing him. Gonzales swore he
would kill Carrillo on sight, ana it was
the meeting of these two that led to the
killing OF Gonzales by the peace officer.
Constable Smarr learned OF the trouble,
warned Gonzales to keep the peace and
notified him that he would enforce the
law. Gonzales paid no attention to the
warning and in saloon at Hedges bran
dished revolver and declared his inten-
tion of starting out after CarrilIo and kill.
ing him wherever found. Consta bic
Smarr tried to arrest Gonzales and the
latter resisted. A flourish of revolver:
followed. The American was too quick
for Gonzales. A Coroner's jury to-day
rendered a verdict generating Smarr on
the ground of self-defense.
