MIR. McGOwAN's OFFICE ENTERED
His Desk Broker Open and About $50
in Cash StOlen-NO Gu TO the Thief

Justice J. NJ. MCGOWAN, who has
been sick for a week, came oWn TO his
office, on the first loo of the old u
house building, yesterday morning and
found his desk torn open n about $I5
in cash stolen from it. The thief used
a chisel aid prised the lock open n
the money that was in the desk was
easily found. There were $13.45 in a
bay belonging to Wilmington Lodge of
Odd Fellows, and the bag bears the let
tiers Il. O. o. F." A small box con-
tanned $14 collected on accounts; $27 be-
lOnged to Judge MCGOWAN and to the
Maryland Life Insurance Company, the
odd Fellows Life Insurance Company.
In another package there were $40 and
other small amounts in envelopes were
taken. On Monday of last week JUS
tice MCGOWAN was taken suddenly ill
at his office and had to go home before
he could make a deposit in the bank.
He locked his desk, however, and also
the windows and two doors to his Of
flee, and turned the door keys over to
Joe Gray, the old negro janitor in the
building. He told the negro to allow no
one to go in his office while he was alb
sent. When Justice MCGOWAN entered
his office yesterday morning he found
the windows closed as he left them
and everything else in order except his
desk. The negro says that he aired
IlIe IoOHn one udy anu DIT IndI time
found one window open, which he clos
ed. He said he left the keys in another
Office across the hall.
Justice MCGOWAN is convinced that
the party who committed the burglary
was thoroughly acquainted with his Of
flee, but he has no definite clue. From
all the circumstances in the case he
says it seems impossible for an en-
trance to have been effected save by a
key. Everything was intact except the
lock on the desk. The thief was evil
IDENTIFY in a big hurry, for he went off
and left one envelope containing
money.
This is a severe loss to Justice Nc
Gowan, and it is hoped that the guilty
party may be apprehended at once and
speedily punished.

A New York paper says the public

a house like that contemplated by Will
liam K. Vanderbilt. The plans, from
lowest foundation stone to topmost
shingle, are copyrighted. The question
arises, il a residence can be copyrighted
why not a dress, a new cut OF coat, a
new color in shoes, or an d way Of

sion Of the law Of copyright would en-
able ladies to legally hinder their social

ing and novel designs. which they have
hired modistes to construct The num-
Der and variety Of ways in which Mr..

to leave. COSBY a a knife conceal
ed and attacked Robinson, cutting him
across the throat and face n On sew

has purchased the Wagner Palace Car
Company, and the latter corporation
cease to exist after the formal transfer
of its property has been mad This
Will reQuire some time. The terms of
the purchase have not been made pub
lie as yet, but it is said on reliable au-
thOrity in New York that Wagner
shareholders can have their holdings
converted into cash at close to current
market quotations or take share for
share in the Pullman Company. 1t is
understood that the Vanderbilt and
Webb interests will simply convert
their holdings into Pullman stock. To
accomplish this, the Pullman company
will have to issue additional stock. This
will be done some time next month.
The capital stock of the Pullman COM
pany is $54,0 00, 900, and that of the Wag-
ner company about $26, 600, 900, making
a total of $50, 600, 900 capital for the new
concern. The Pullman company in alb
sorbing it's rival will take over 16, 900
miles of railroad service, which in
cludes all the Vanderbilt lines and af-
filiated properties, such as the New
