STOCKING up FOR WINTER.
THE HAUL MADE BY THIEVES
AT OAK PARK.
Constab1es Rich and Steen Recover
Most of the Goods Stolen
From DAILY Bros.

1t was stated yesterday, in cOnnec-
ton With the burglarizing of DAILY
Bros store at Oak Park, that none
of the stolen goods had been recov-
cred. 1t has since been learned that
nearly all of the goods had been re-
turned to the owners
1t appears that Constable William
Rich and Deputy Constable John Steer
were travelling along the road lead
ing to Guthrie Station, and when near
the powder houses they met two men
pushing a heavilyloaded wheelbarrow
On perceiving the officers the men
dropped their burden as we'll as their
coats, and hid beneath some box cars
AS the officers came nearer the men
jumped over the fence and ran across
the field with Rich and Steen in hot
pursuit, but owing to the heavy fog
the, burglars We're soon out of view,
and the officers had to abandon their
chase
The wheelbarrow contained five hams,
six sides of bacon, five fifty-pound sacks
OF flour, and twenty-five pounds of su-
gar, which the thieves had put into
an old pillowslip along with three dozen
boxes of sardines, various plugs of to-
bacco and other articles. The officers
then procured a horse and wagon and
hauled their prize to Oak Park. where
they learned that Daily Bros. store had
been robbed
The wheelbarrow, which had been
stolen from Mr.. Allen several nights
ago, had since been remodeled, a new
bottom and front piece having been
put on. It's workmanship would de-
note that it was done by some one
who is accustomed to handle tools.
One of the coats left behind is an old
brownish- -colored overcoat, which had
been shortened into a square-cut coat
The other is a well-worn square-cut
short coat of a blush color.
The burglars evidently made two
trips, as another lot of goods and DAILY
Bros Wheelbarrow are yet missing
The missing stuff includes a number Of
cans of coffee, syrup. etc.

The NEW BOARDS PRIVILEGE
OUTGOING TRUSTEES CANNOT
ACT ON MONDAY.
New and Interesting Phase of
Mayor Hubbard's Latest
Coup D'Etat.

According to an opinion filed yeSter
day by Corporation Counsel Hiram w.
johnson with City Clerk Desmond, the
present City Board of Trustees cannot
act on Mayor Hubbard's nomination Of
Henry Balsz as police partol driver to
succeed John Fitzgerald.
The Mayor recently declared that the
terms of both Balsz and Fitzgerald as
patrol drivers had expired, and he pro-
ceeded TO let them both out He no1ni-
mated H. NJ. Butler to succeed BalsA
and w. P. Harnett to succeed Fitzser-
aid
Last week the Trustees confirmed
Butler, but postponed action in Har-
nett's case. Then the Mayor last Mon
day withdraw the latter's name and
substituted that Of Balsz as successor
to Fitzgerald, and again the Trustees
postponed action until next Monday.
Now comes Corporation Counsel with
a communication, in which he states
that the outgoing members OF the
Board of Trustees will conclude their
official lives at midnight on Sunday,
and that it will be the province of the
incoming board to act on Balsz'S noml-
nation. He says:
M J. Desmon, City Clerk-Dear Sir:
Through the telephone day before yes
terday you asked me for an opinion
as to whether or not the outgoing
Board of Trustees could act in the mat
ter of the confirmation of Mr.. Balsz
Monday next at $40 p. m, to which
time on Monday last they adjourned.
TN reply, 1 have to say that, in my
opinion, the term of office of the out
going members of the board expires at
midnight Sunday night After that
time L do not believe these outgoing
members can perform or participate in
any official act. | understand, also,
that the new Board Of Trustees eX-
poets to organize at 10 O'Clock a. M.
Monday.
IF this be so, certainly the old board
cannot perfom any office act at b:4o p.
M Monday evening and cannot at that
time act upon the appointment of MI

HOW WE SUCCEEDED IN OUR ENTERPRISE.
On arrival at Singapore we took rick
shaws and drove direct from the wharf
to the Mandalay hotel, palatial white
building of two stories, boasting vivid
green shutters on every window and
broad, luxurious verandas on every floor.
was the first to reach it, and, remem-
bering my position of casual acquaint-
ance, booked room for myself, leav-
ing Miss Sanderson and her companion
to follow my example when they should
arrive.
1t was then late in the afternoon, and
by the time we had thoroughly settled
IN night had fallen and the preliminary
dressing gong had sounded for dinner
SO far had seen nothing of the person
of whom we were in search. but I did
not doubt that at the evening meal /
should become acquainted with his
whereabouts, even if did not actually
meet the man himself.
The dining room at the Mandalay is
at the rear of the hotel and looks out
upon a charmingly arranged garden.
Immediately upon my entering it a
waiter came forward and conducted me
to my place at a table near the window.
On my left was seated portly, red
faced gentleman, who, ! discovered
later, was an English merchant of con-
siderable standing in the place. The
chair on my right was vacant, but be-
fore we had dismissed the first course it
was taken by man who, my instinct
told Inc, was none other than Mr.. Eb-
bington himself. Why should have
come to this conclusion l cannot ex-
plain, but that did think so and that
was right in so thinking 1 discovered
a minute or two later, when question
was addressed to him by an acquaint-
ance on the other side of the table. I
the course without betraying
my excitement, and when my plate was
removed sat back and casually took
stock of him.

stock of him

From Allies account and some kind
OF preconceived notion as to what sort
OF appearance such dastardly traitor
should present l had expected to see q
small, shifty eyed, villainous type of
man, wearing on his face some token of
his guilt. But in place of that | discov-
cred stout well set up, not unhand-
some man about 40 years of age. His
complexion was somewhat fiorid; his
eyes were Of an uncertain hue, between
gray and steely blue; he had pro-
nounced nose and heavy, almost dou-
BILE chin. Indeed, had it not been for his
hesltating mode of speech | should have
been inclined to put him down for q
military man.
During the progress of the meal
found an opportunity of doing him some
small service, and on this meager intro.
duction we fell into desultory CONVEX
sation, which embraced Singapore, the
latest news from England and the pros
poets OF war between China and
Japan. When dinner was over, rose
and followed him into the veranda, Of
Tered him cheroot, which he accepted,
and seated myself in lounge chair be-
side him. We had not been smoking
five minutes before my sweetheart and
her companion passed close to where we
sat, en- route to their rooms AS she
came opposite to me Allie stopped.
