TWO LEAD THIEVES.
They Came TO Grief at thu Hands of
Officer G lfoil.
An Enj yable En- ertainment-Lat's tNotes
and News From the North End.

John Buokl y, of "a Shawmut street and
John Giblin Of "a Delhi street were ar
rested yesterday by Officer Gilfoil on q
charge Of stealing about 800 pounds of
old lead. The property stolen belonged to
Gilhane Bros, and had been purchased by
them from the owners of n building that
has recently been torn down. After pur-
chasing the stuff the Gllbanes stored il in
an old shed near the ruins of their mill
on Calais street The two lads who are
about II years of ago discovered that the
shed referred TO had about 400 pounds Of
the easily disposable material in 1t and
thought out plan 20 remove the lead to
q Junk dealer over Gladstone avenue
way, where they could get cash for il. A
wheel barrow was obtained and the
material carried, to the avenue at conven-
lent times when the police beats between
Calais street and the avenue were not
directly covered. The aid of several
smaller boys was obtained by the chief
conspirators and all but 100 pounds of the
lead were removed from the shed. Then
officer Gilfoil heard Of the scheme and
going 10 n junk shop found Giblin had
sold some of the stuff giving his own
name and as there was the evidence of the
boys who had aided in the stealing and
Buckley was seen in the neighborhood of
the shop where Gibin had sold part OF tho
swag. Officer Gilfoil arrested the two
youths
About 100 pounds of she lead were re-
covered Just after the arrest by the officer
named and Giblin and Buckley had TO go
10 court this morning.
PLEASANT AND UNIQUE ENTER
TAINMENT.
The entertainment given by the Men s
Guild Of St Thomas Protestant Episco-
pal church was one that combined good
music ana remarkably droll comedy, in
way that was thoroughly satisfactory TO
very lnrge number of the friends of the
guild and reelected much credit on the
energetic committee of arrangements, Of
which Frederick III. Sonner was the eff
cient chairman. The entertainments
given under the auspices OF tho ladies
and gentlemen of this church are always
of so interesting nature that the public
Is always very generous In Its patronage.
The first part Of last evenings enter

cert program: Grand march, DE Concert !;
piano solo, Prof, A. III. q. Barnes; con-
tralto solos, Miss Bessie Parker; reading,
Miss Florence Arnold; cornot solos. Miss
Alice Carey; soprano solos. Miss Louise
Parker Bardsley; musical sketch MIR.
Harnsw orth and Mr.. Follett: piano solo.
Prof Barnes; Mrs. Bardsey's solos were
received with great favor and were well
suHR. Inc plugifR Ol MeSSrS. ti1arDS-
worth and Follett on large mum Der of
instruments loudly applauded and
they scored one more big success Very
amusing indeed was the piece "A Way
back School. " The costumes of tho
scholars were very ancient and the marks
of time were plainly upon them, and the
audience wildly applauded the appearance
of the scholars at the school The
scholars were some of them marvelousy
bright and others deliciously dull, ana
all the pranks thnt could not have heen
unfamiliar TO some of the older people
present of the country school of a quarter
of century ago, were well brought ont.
IL was IA lively school session and every
one present forgot the bad weather of the
last four weeks In the sunshine OF non
sense and mirth that was shown from tho
stage.
The chare cters In the school and these
su hing them were a follows Miss
