PHILADELPHIA, March 8, 1Se7.--John
D. Hart. who was several days ago
convicted of fitting out dlibustering ex-
pedition on the steamer Laurada, was to-
day sentenced by Judge Butler to two
years imprisonment and to pay fine of
300 and costs of prosecution.
Prior to passing the sentence the Court
refused the motion for a new trial made
last week by Hart's counsel
Hart received the sentence calmly, but
when he subsequently met his wife In
the office of the United States Marshal,
where he was in custody, and she threw
her arms around him and wept, he was
overcome with emotion. The accused
soon regained his composure, however.
Hart will remain in the custody of the
Marshal during the day in anticipation
Of some legal step being taken by his
counsel whereby his $1,000 bal (upon
which he was released after conviction)
can be continued pending an appeal of
the case to the United States Circuit

Methodist Church Robbed

Books Gone.

sensation has been caused in the
congregation of the First Methodist
Church on Washington street, Hoboken,
over the doings of sneak thief who has
been robbing the studio of the Rev. DR..
A. h. Richardson, the pastor, which is
situated in the rear of the church build
Ing From the careful manner in which
the thief has been operating it is sup
posed that he is some person familiar
with the church, for he knows just how
and when to enter the studio without
being detected
This morning Pastor Richardson called
at Police Headquarters and reported that
some time last evening, while he was at
tending services in the church, diction-
ary valued at SIG was taken
do not like to say anything about
it, said the clergyman, but am afraid
will lose more of my property if the
police don't take the. matter in hand"
The studio from which the book was
stolen is separated from the Sunday
school room by glass windows. The door
of the Sunday school is always left
open on Sunday, as many of the members
OF the church go in there to get prayer
and hymn books. which are sometimes
used in the church. DR.. Richardson at
other times always locks the door of his
studio, but leaves one of the windows
unlocked so that Mrs. Richardson and
other members of his family can raise
1t and unlock the door when they wish
to.
One Sunday, two weeks ago, DIR. Rich
ardson missed a new overcoat which he
had hung behind the door. There were
no signs of the studio having been broken
into ana DR.. Richardson concluded that
some person had taken the coat who
knew now to open the window He SAID
nothing about the theft except to the
members of his family, as he did not
wish to cast any suspicious on anyone
connected with the church. When he en-
tered his studio last evening after SER
vice he discovered that the dictionary
had been taken. Then he decided to notify
the police. The book was a present to
Or. Richardson from his Sunday School
class last Christmas, and he said he was
very sorry to lose It,
The dominic says he has not the least
idea who committed the thefts.

Protests.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

ATHENS. March 8, 1S97.-ln view Of the
fact that the time allowed by the Pow
ers for Greece to withdraw her troops
and fleet from Crete is on the eve of
expiration and the certainty that the
Powers will be defied by King George,
some of the foreign Ministers here have
recommended that all foreigners in Ath-
ems leave the city while they may do so
in safety.
This recommendation has provoked an
indignant protest from the Athenian
newspapers, which declare that there is
not the slightest danger, nor is there
likely to be. The foreign residents have
been inclined to take the view of the
newspapers rather than that Of the Min
listers, and few, if any, have left the
city or made preparations to do SO.

that a Macedonian leader at the head of

victorious and captured the Turkish po-
SitiOu.
