BURGLARS ABROAD
In the Fifth Ward and Alarming the
Residents of That Section of the
City--Two Recent Attempts Made
to Enter Residences--.SuppOsed to
Be Parties Who Tried to Open the
Safe of Klieves, Kraft & Go.

Fifth ward people have become some
what alarmed over several visits that
have been paid that section of town
lately by burglars, who have been
abroad for a couple of weeks past on
midnight expeditions. The other night
unknown parties attempted to enter the
house of Conrad West, on Twenty-sec-
ond street, but were scared off by Mrs.
West.
Her husband was away from home
and she heard two men trying to force
an entrance through downstairs
window. She raised window and gave
an alarm, soaring the men away. She
noticed that one was a white man and
the other a negro. Night before last
an attempt was made to enter another
house in the same locality. Both
houses are in the vicinity Of the plan
ing mill of Kleives, Kraft & Co., whose
office was broken into a couple of weeks
ago and an attempt made to open the
safe. It is surmised that all three at
tempts at burglary were made by the
same parties.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June 22.-Ih
United States grand jury was impan'
neled to-day and Judge Jackson de-
livered a strong and vigorous charge
TO that body, in which the various VIC
iations of the federal laws were touch
ed upon tersely and clearly.
He stated that the prosecuting attor
ney had called his attention to the re-
cent violation of the banking Law
which occurred in this city. Judge
Jackson dwelt at some length on THU
subject and told the jury that witnessei
would be sent before them and that
the matter should be investigated. Ii
there was evidence sufficient for an in
dictment, an indictment should b'
found. He quoted the national bank
ing law, outlined the duties OF the ofti'
cers. told what constituted offensei
against the law and made the matter
clear to the jury.
The court also referred to the Viola
ton of the election laws.
Hon. Sam C. Burdettey OF Charlet

Huntington, w. Va, June 22.-Hon
Wm ]. Bryan passed through this cit!
at 1:3O o'clock this afternoon, en- rout
to Cincinnati.
Although his coming was only known
two hours in advance, several thousane
people, headed by the Second regiment
band, gathered at the depot to greet
him.
Mr.. Bryan spoke fifteen minutes ant
said in part, that he remembered hav
ing been in Huntington during the
campaign, and had expected that Tho
Democrats would carry the State; that
upon reading the returns, he found
that the Democratic nominees had re
ceived as many votes as they had eX.
pected to, but the Republican nomi'
nees had received several Thousand
more than we had counted upon, OF
for those unknown thousands woult
next time vote the Democratic ticket
He said he still believes, as he did
during the campaign, that prosperity
could not return TO us until we re"
turned to the money of the constitu.
ton; that the people would expect tho
goods of the present administration tt
come up to the samples exhibited last
fall: that if they did not, the people
would feel that they had been cheatet
and would demand redress.
He admonished the people to bear tho
present ills with patience; that ar
election did not decide as between
principles, but only decided which one
should be tried for four years; that
II the people had committed a wrong
they would have chance to correct
it in three years from now.
The hour-one-thirty-w a bad
one for business men and laborina
classes, but notwithstanding that
many business men left their places
and some few actually closed their
houses to go out and shake the hand
of the next President of the United
States.
The crowd was made up almost en-
tirelv of men. the greater part of whom
were of the horny handed sons OF toll
At Thurmond, Mr.. Bryan made
short talk to the miners, who had
gathered to see him. He told them
that the gold standard was bad thing
for the farmer as well as for them, but
that the farmer had two chances ia
their one, for during the winter time
the farmer could burn his corn for fuel
but that the miner could not eat hi
coal for food.

Charleston, w. Va, June 22.-Albert
Voires and Jerry Brown, who were to
be hung at Fayetteville next Friday,
were brought here at an early hour
this morning in charge of Sheriff Nc
Vey and a strong guard.
1t was feared that the prisoners
would be taken from the train and
lynched before they could get them
here, but they arrived safely and are
lodged in Jail.
As soon as it became generally
known at Montgomery and along the
railroad that the Governor had granted
a respite to Voires and Brown there
was intense feeling manifested against
the prisoners, and they would doubt
less have been lynched had they not
been taken away at once.
A representative of the Register saw
the prisoners in the county jail to-day.
Voires had nothing of interest to say,
except that he was feeling well, and
that he liked the change from Fayette
to the Kanawha Jail.
Brown was very talkative, and told
the whole story in details of how he
he had been living in illicit relations
with the Radford woman and how she
had got angry with him, because he
did not get her a pair of shoes and
declared that she would give him
trouble, and how he was arrested and
told by the lawyers whom the court
appointed for him that if he would con-
fess to the crime of rape he could get
him off with short sentence.
Work on the scaffold at Fayetteville
is going on and the probability is that
a large crowd of people will be there
Friday to witness the hanging of Clark
Lewis, though the interest has abated
since the reprieve of Voires and Brown.

Washington, June 22-The West
Virginia boys in town are having
q good deal of quiet fun at the
expense of George Bowers, of Martins
burg. who is said to be slated for the
lob of United States Fish Commits
sioner. They say that Mr.. Bowers is
so confident that he will get the place
in the course of the next few months
that he has begun to bone" on the
subject of fish culture like delinquent
student when the examinations are
approaching. The boys say that George
already knows a good deal about hsh;
that he has been able for years to tell
q black bass from a bullhead in the
dark: that he has caught great many
fsh-bass. trout. bullhead, perch, rock
and suckers. with all sorts of tackle,
from a hickory rod and a breast-pln
TO a S27 split bamboo rod automatic
reel and flies that cost SO a dozen. But
they say that the coming fish commos-
sioner did not think an acquaintance
of this sort with fish was sufficient
to equip him for the duties he expects
TO assume in a few months and he,
therefore. decided TO enter on sys-
tematic course of study on the subject.
For this purpose, the boys here say,
he has been spending much time in the
book stores of Washington in search
of all obtainable works treating Of
fish and fish culture, the habits,
habitals. breeding. nursing, diseases,
vices. peculiarities and general charac-
teristics of fish. 1t is alleged by the
bows that the result of Mr.. Bowers
researches in the book stores was the
accumulation of a mass of books,
pamphlets and government reports so
extensive that he had to charter
freight car to transport them to his
home at Martinsburg. Mr.. Bowers is
now, the boys alIege, Durled at nome
in these books. reading, thinking, see
ing and smelling nothing but fish. But
they predict that when he emerges
from his retreat he will be an expert
on the subject of fish culture, and that
under his management of the fish COM
missionership all American streams,
lakes and ponds will speedily swarm
with fish to such an extent that all any
one will have to do will be to go out
with a basket and dip up all he wants
for breakfast or dinner.
AS the Register correspondent has
not seen Mr.. Bowers of late, he has
not had an opportunity to verify the
truth of these stories, so he gives
them for what they are worth, feeling
disposed himself to take them as peo-
pie do their fish. with many grains Of
salt.

R. w. Davis, the gentleman who ac-
companied Mr.. Crull, Jr., from Rich
mond, also identified Brown and the
clothes he wore as that worn by him,
while he was with Mr. Crull, at the
home of the son in Powhatan county,
Virginia.
A large number of other witnesses
were examined during the forenoon,
but none of the evidence was import
ant and was only a confederation of
the dispatches which have appeared
from time to time with the exception
of that of the chief of police and the
officer from Moundsville.
The Moundsville officer told how he
had arrested the prisoner and held him
on suspicion until he could send for
the sheriff of this county. He also told
how the prisoner had tried to show that
he was not the person wanted by CIV
ing fictitious names and places Of liV-
ing.
Chief of Police King. of this city,
who went to Moundsville to bring the
nrisoner down, stated on the witness
stand that the prisoner in answering
the question as TO whether he had shot
Crull replied that he had had some
trouble with the dead man and had
shot him.
The defendant tried to deny this
statement while the hearing was being
conducted.
At the conclusion of the hearing in
which the prisoner was represented by
an attorney from Moundsville. and the
State by F. L. Blackmarr, of this city,
the prisoner was kept in the justice
office under a heavy guard until time
for the afternoon train, when he was
taken to Parkersburg and placed in
iail by Sheriff Pyle and Chief of Police
King.
According to late news received from
the interior of the county this after
noon. it seems that there is still some
mystery connected with the case. A
gentleman came in from there this af-
ternoon and stated that the outfit con-
sisting of six horses and three men had
camped at his place, near Wick, one
night last week. Now the question is,
where has the other fellow gone, and
where is the other horse?
Brown was seen by your represent
ative this afternoon just before the
train on which he was taken to Park
ersburg left. and in answer to a ques-
tion if he had anything to say for pub
lication replied in the negative. When
asked if he would say whether he was
guilty or not he said he had nothing TO
cav now, and would say nothing until
the time for his trial came.
There will be a special term of the
Circuit Court in this county commenc-
ing on Tuesday, July 6, and it is likely
the case will come up at that term, fas
there is a desire to rush it through as
rapidly as possible.
