LOOK OUT FOR ARRESTS SOON
VELOPMENTS IN THE BROWN,
TREACY & co. ROBBERY
Claimed That a Clue or Two That.
May Develop Something Are Be-.
ing Carefully Run Down by the
S1euths,

Great secrecy is being maintained by
the city detective force in regard to the
robbery on Saturday evening at the
Brown, Treacy establishment on East
Third street. Ever since the occurrence,
the best men on the force have been hard
at work trying to unravel a clue which
would serve to convict the parties who
did the work
Every inquiry as to the progress OF the
case has been met with the invariable
reply that there is nothing new but the
Information leaked out yesterday through
responsible source. that clue has been
discovered, which Is expected to aid In
the solution of the affair. At the time of
the robbery, it was thought that men
formerly employed. who knew Mr.
Treacy's habit of paying off his force on
Saturday nights in coin. and going up
With his little bag of money about the
same time every week, had given a tip
to the parties who did the work This
theory seems to be substantIated in part
and arrests are looked for soon
In spite of the idea suggested by mem
bers of the firm that the robbery was tho
work of outside parties, Developments
have led strongly to the conclusion that
local thieves did the work At the time
OF the robbery, no outside parties of a
criminal turn We're In the city, so far as
Is known, and on account of the petty
burglaries of the past month, the police
and detective forces were cognizant Of the
movements Of most of the shady charac-
tiers then in the city.
Chief Schwettzer conferred with we'll
known Pinkerton officer yesterday, and
in a discussion of the case the latter re-
marked:
II think have never met a case which
appears so hard TO solve as this. Usual:
ly robbery or burglary has basis on
which to work, but beyond theories. there
Is nothing of the kind in this occurrence.
In case the department succeed in con-
victing. it will be a hearty Endorsement
of their efficiency ISIS 90 'ss's.Sa
One of the city detectives was ap-
preached yesterday afternoon in regard
to the robbery and asked for an opinion.
He had nothing to give out. but winked
his eye profoundly and remarked: - -

LIFE IN ANCIENT ROME.
Interesting Lecture on OIden Times

Interesting Lecture ON OIden Times
Given by DIR. Moynihan.
Life in Ancient Rome was most WV
idly pictured In the lecture delivered last
evening at Woodland hall, corner Of Ash
land avenue and Mackubin street, by
Rev. H. Moynihan. D. D., of st. Paul 8
seminary. good sized audience listened
to the address and enjoyed the stereopti-
con pictures with which the lecture was
illustrated.
The speaker gave an interesting de-
scrtpt1on of Rome at the height of her
power, when, as mistress of the world,
she arrogantly dictated to conquered ma
tions. He also dwelt on the evils that
were rampant in the republic and later
In the empire, and pointed out the causes
which led to the final downfall of tho
imperial city.
Views were given of different historic
places around Rome-the Pantheon, the
famous amphitheater, the Coliseum and
other noted places. about which cling
much of the history Of ancient Rome.
The lecture was given under the auspices
of st. Luke's church.

MAKE A NEW MOVE.
Ames and POttgieser to Take Charge.
Of Street COmmissiOners

Messrs Ames and Pottgieser, Of the
board or public works evidently propose
to take charge of the street commits
sioners and have had placed In the office
receptacles for orders for the commits
sioners and labeled them with the naIEes
of such commissioners. it is supposed
that orders for work to be done by the
street force will be deposited IN these
boxes. 1t will be seen that the commits
sioners are placed In a peculiar position,
they are appointed by the city engineer
and subject to his orders. but If they
take their orders from Messrs. Pottgieser
and Ames they may possibly find them
selves without any occupation.
This new move of the new members of
the board is looked upon by many as
having an Interior motive and some there
are who venture to guess that it Is in
tended to bring about a rupture between
the board and the city engineer which
will serve as an excuse for a refusal to
pass upon the pay roll of the engineers
office.
At least 1t is believed that 1t is an ef-
fort to cripple the city engineer In his
patronage and to place his appointive
power in street commissioner matters in
the hands of the board.

MELBA AS MARGUERITE.
"Faust" Will Be the Opening Bill Of
Grand ODers

Faust Will BE the Opening Bill of
Grand Opera.
+ For many years Mr. Charles A. Ellis
manager of the Boston Symphony or
'chestra and Boston Music hall, has sent
the most important musical ATTRACTIONS
to the leading American cities, but las:
year he enlarged his field of operati tons
joining forces with Walter Damrosch. and
the Damrosch-E Ellis company made a sue
cessful tour of the country, Mime. Melba
becoming It's leading attraction. This
season Mr.. Ellis became sole manager
and proprietor, and the excellent Or
ganization bearing his name toured the
country again, presenting grand opera In
French, German and Italian in a manner
seldom, if ever, surpassed in America.
In all the leading cities their success has
been remarkable, and now on their re-
turn from the Pacific coast the local
management has induced them to stop
in st. Paul and Minneapolis for a week,
and 1t is certainly to be hoped that their
visit will be as financially successful here
as it has been everywhere else the COM
pany has played, for artistieaIiy there
can be no question as to the impression
1t will make~or the quality Of work il
will give. ssls1.-
While but three performances can be
given here, April 10, Il and IL, the reper-
toire is such that no complaint can be
made and no excuse given for non-at-
tendance on thet part Of music lovers.
Unquestionably many will feel that the
greatest attraction is Nine. Melba, and
such is her popularity the world over,
not confined tos any one country. that
this city is fortunate in being able to
secure her fer two evenings, as she will
appear Monday evening in Faust
and Wednesday, evefsing together with
Mile. de Lussani in that sensation of
the musical world :, La Boheme,", in
which the Ellis COMPANY has made a phe-
nomenaI hit during the present season.

LITTLE DANGER OF A FLOOD
THE HEAVY SHOWS WE'RE
MAINLY LOCAL
And Unless Heavy Rains Should
Come There Is Little Danger Of
the Stage Of Water Increasing
Very Materially.

There is every indication that. in spite
of the heavy fall of snow and the ap-
! parently splendid conditions for flood,
the annual spring freshet Is going to be
very ordinary affair this year. Wealth
er Observer Lyons has been investigating
the matter and in speaking of the out
look yesterday said:
There has been little or no rise in the
river UP to the present time The stage
Of water is but a little higher than three
feet above low water mark and If the
present conditions continue for a. few
days more there will be very little chance
for 1T to go much higher. The only thing
that we have to fear is an unusually
heavy rainfall and even that must come
within very short time. If it should
rain heavily now with the frost In the
ground the water would run off into the
river and some trouble might result, but
within short time even a heavy fall Of
water would be absorbed by the earth
The snow seems to be going off very
rapidly and must be eyaporating for the
water Is not running into the river.
81 have had advices from a number OF
points along the river above this point
and at many of these places there is less
than an inch Of snow remaining on the
ground. The last SHOWS of the winter
were very heavy in this vicinity and this
has given rise to the impression that it's
melting was going to swell the river
at great rate. There is no foundation
for this belief for these SHOWS were local
to a great degree. This has made the
conditions seem worse than they really
are. While the snow has. been disappear
ing very rapidly during the last week
there has been practically no change in
the stage of the water here. In nay opin-
Ion. the people that have been flood VIC
Tins in the past and are fearful about
this spring are worrying without just
cause for, unless there is a vast amount
Of rainfall. l do not believe that any
damage will result from high water this
spring." 1850 - y

But Attorney McGhee Says s.DfsOr-
derby" Doesn't Cover This Offense.
A motion for arrest of judgment in the
cases against Emma Hineman and Dody
Allen. colored, and Charles Green, ar
rested for disorderly conduct, was argued
yesterday afternoon before Judge Orr in
chambers.
f. l.. McGhee appeared for the de-
PENDANTS and In an argument supported
by the city ordinance against dfsorderly
conduct, held that the offense for which
the trio We're taken In charge did not
come under the provisions of the mu-
nicipal CODE The ordinance referred to
has been construed for many years to
cover offenses OF the class Of that for
which the arrests We're made, and the
attorney now holds that 1t is defective
and cannot be enforced against his
clients The ordinance provides that
disorderly conduct shall be" charged in
cases where noise, offensive talk or like
misdemeanor inconveniencing the public
shall be proven. On this particular point
the argument hangs.
The city attorneys office Is not over
confident in the strength Of the ordinance
and no opposition to the argument was
made. Judge Orr will render a decision
on Friday.

The jury in the case of the State VS..
Thomas Kennedy which was tried yester-
day before Judge Kelly in the district
court, returned verdict shortly after 6
o'clock. finding the defendant guilty Of
grand larceny in the second degree. He
was charged in the indictment with lar
ceny in the first degree.
Kennedy was the proprietor of a hotel
at 63 East Seventh street, and on the
night of March u. entertained as a guest
Peter Gergen.. woodsman from Michi-
gan. The pair went down to a saloon
adjacent to the hotel and after many
drinks returned to the hosiery. Gergen
had S45 In roll concealed on his person.
which disappeared, and, he accused Ken
nedy Of taking the money.
Alex Smith, who runs place next door
to the Great Western, reported that he
had seen the money taken and Kennedy
had said he was going to keep it over
night for safe keeping"
The jury decided that Kennedys cover
night meant an indefinite period, and
only required about two hours of deliber-
alton to settle the point.
