SCHOOLS ROBBED The Jewish Svn-
agogue On lor,h Washington street,
which Is used during the week V Miss
Herbert for school purposes, was rob-
b d recently OF a large quantity of
school supplies. The matter was re-
ported to Chief Webster, of the police
force, who yesterday recovered the ar
ticles stolen and arrested Hugh Harris
and Albert Harrison, two boys, who
were found in possession of the goods.
The boys are pupils of Washington
school and the chief went to that build.
ing yesterday and took them in Gus
tody. One Of the boys who is said to
have been a principal in the robbery
has goue to Richmond. The youths,
when arrested, told the chief that q COL
ored boy named Charles Vena helped
them to enter the school room and aid
ed in carrying away the states, sc. The
boys told the chief the stolen articles
were in an unoccuped house opposite
Christ Church and in the old Quaker
burying ground, and they were found
i'll those places. The chief also recover
cd from the boys the bicycle lamp stolen
from Mr.. Slaymaker's wheel in front of
the the Second Presbyterian Church
Wednesday night. They also confess.
ed to roobing several flower gar
dens in the city. The accused, who
range in years fcom ten TO fourteen,
were brought before the Mayor this
morning who turned them over TO their
parents for punishment. Washington
school building was entered last night
by means of duplicate keys and the
rooms rsnsacked. Several small sums
of money, belonging to the teachers,
and which were IN their desks, were
stolen, as was also copy of Webster's
dictionary. Janitor Griffin is doing all
he can toward bringing the parties who
committed the act to Justice, and the
police are actively at work on the case.
The PROPOSED CHAPEL.-Much in
terest has been expressed in the cree.
ton of an Episcopal chapel on south
Fairfax street. The need of such a
building in that locality has been felt,
and under the present efficient man
agement the proposal appears GER
tainty. The well ordered and graceful
musicale given Wednesday night in St.
Paul's Chapel was most successful
inauguration Of the scheme, and sim.
liar entertainment is hoped for, espec-
tally if the same talent can be secured.
The full mellow tones of Mr.. Griffith's
fine bass voice delighted the audience
to enthusiasm, while the fine elocu-
tionary culture of Prof Reade and the
inimitable comedy of Mr.. FeatherstoD's
number, Dead Easy" we're received
with equal applause. These artists
with the local talent rendered the we'll
selected programme with such success
that the object for which their talents
were so graciously given has gain in
popularity.
