THE BOYS DISAPPEARED
No WITNESSES TO TESTIFY AGAINST
SHOE-DEALER TRIMPE.
Had Visited mt the WOrkhOuse the
Lads Who Said He Persuaded
Them to steal.

Bernard Trimpe, an Indiana-avenue shoe
dealer. was arrested some time ago on the
charge of receiving stolen goods. His ar
rest was brought about through the state
ments of some boys tried in Police Court on
the charge of petit larceny. These boys con-
fessed to stealing shoes from a dealer on
West Washington street and in the story
related to Judge Cox they implicated
Trimpe.
The youths claimed that Trimpe told them
that If they would get hold Of some shoes
at certain place he would buy them.
They went TO the place and carried off one
pair Of shoes that were not mates. Trimpe,
they claimed, then instructed them TO go
back and get the mate to one of the shoes,
as he had a customer who wanted them.
The boys went to the Washington-street
store and located the particular shoe. At
first they were somewhat puzzled how TO
get IL without exciting suspicion. Finally
one of the youths hit upon happy scheme.
The boys told the dealer that they came
TO buy a shoe for their uncle who had but
one leg They pointed to the shoe they de-
sired and purchased it, The youths were
sent to the workhouse and the grand jury
found an Indictment against Trimpe.
The shoe dealers trial was set for yes
terday and he was brought in and ar
raigned. He pleaded mot guilty and the
States attorney began to look about for his
witnesses-the youths who had implicated
Trimpe in the Police Court. None of the
boys was present and no one knew where
they could be found. 1t was learned that
they were released from the workhouse sew
eral days ago on the expiration of their
sentences. Prosecutor Pugh was informed
that the boys could not be found at the
places where they formerly lived. 1t was i'm
count Of the absence of these witnesses
Trimpe gave bond when arrested and was
not locked up. AT the workhouse ii is said
that Trimpe came out there once week 10
visit the boys who caused his arrest. 1t is
said that he brought them tobacco and
knicknacks and appeared very we'll disposed
toward them.

DarIincton Cemetery Case.

The contest between the town of Darling
ton and the lodge of Odd Fellows of that
place was argued yesterday before the SUI
preme Court. The lodge bought four acres
of ground adjoining the town some years
ago. and used it as a cemetery for the fam
lilies of lodge members. The town has
grown partly around this cemetery and
some of those living near objected to the
burial of bodies in. it. The town officers
secured an order to annex the cemetery tc
the town and then passed an ordinance for
bidding burials in the plat. The Odd Eel
lows claim that the annexation proceedings
were not legal and the question has beer
brought to the Supreme Court for settle.

City,s Telephone Contract.

The legal status of the city's contract with
the New Telephone Company is now being
examined by Assistant City Attorney Bell.
who is of the opinion that the contract
is invalid Superintendent Vail. of the Cen
trail Union Telephone Company, has asked
that his concern be given another oppor-
tn 1ity to bid for the service. 1t seems that
the contract Is claimed TO be illegal on ac-
count of extending beyond the time covered
OF Safety is inclined to favor the New Com
pany as the present contract reduces the
&C st of the telephone service to I.700. Mayor
Taggart says the mistake can easily be
remedied and that a new contract can be
drawn up. Secretary Gates, of the New
Company, believes the present contract
legal. And so the matter stands, awaiting
the final decision of the attorney.

Ernestinoff has certainly brought his chorus
and orchestra to high degree of pro-
ficiency in the short time since the Musk
verein was organized. The parts, vocal and
instrumental are well balanced, and there
| is freshness and vigor about the work of
both that is inspiring. The tone quality is
good and the enunciation clear and distinct.
| The programme of ensemble music was well
chosen. All of the compositions were beau
tiful, unusually so. considering the variety
| of numbers.
Perl APPS nothing was better done that the
''Serenade," by Haydn, played by the string
orchestra The first violins carried the
| theme and the second violins the accom-
| paniment. The instruments played the
/ theme as If one person held them all, and

sympathetic reading that he led all the
other instruments, Mas an eX,re ,in,

Water Works and Track Elevation
QuestiOns to BE Taken In

At the meeting OF Mayor Taggart's Cabi-
net, yesterday morning, several important
propositions came up for discussion. not
ably, the water-works contract and the
contemplated elevation OF railroad tracks.
While nearly all of the members of the
Cabinet look upon the purchasing of the
water-works plant by the city highly i'm
probable they all agreed that the matter
should be given very careful consideration
and il was decided TO take up the matter
and push il TO some conclusion the first of
next week In reference TO the elevated
tracks. the mayor announced that he had
called meeting of the City Council and
the Board of Works for 10 o'clock this
morning. and that the subject would be
gone into at length. The mayor said that
the city engineer had been making some
preliminary Investigations in regard TO the
matter. The question of the barricading OF
Meridian street by trains going in and out
of the Union Station was raised. and
suited i'm a communication being sent to
the Board of Safety requesting that action
he taken towards the abatement of this in
convenience to the city's traffic.
President Mack. of the Safety Board said
that his department was receiving many
complaints about the East Markets new
plans for inclosed stands along the court
house side of the street. The gardeners say
that, in consequence, they are obliged to
put their horses and wagons in stables. The
action in this matter, the nature of the
goods offered for sale by the parties who
want to occupy the stands would be looked
into. The mayor said that the market
should be used solely for the selling of gar
den products and provisions, and that he
for one, wasn't in favor of allowing dry
goods men and tradesmen of that class to
hold forth there.
A communication was received from the
Board of Works explaining that no action
could be taken towards starting the main
sewer In East Michigan street until the Cir
cult Court had passed upon the Strong law.
For the construction of this sewer. IL is
necessary to assess territory outside of the
city, and IL Is on this account that nothing
can be done at present The communication
went on to say that the board, in improv-
ing with asphalt Pennsylvania street, from
Washington to Ohio. will insist on lower
prices being offered by contractors than
heretofore, as the State has adopted the
policy of rembursing contractors for i'm
provements abutting government property.

SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES.
To Sell Off Eight War Ships.

A special cablegrsm from London to
the Globe Democrat under oa'e Vi
March 10 says;
cit is learned on the best authority
that in the course of the negotlatlons
that have been in progress recently
between the Government OF Chill and
of the Argentine Repu bile on the sub
iect of the boundary question the two
countries have already come to an
agreement whereby each OF the two
powers is to reduce its naval establish
mept and its naval expenditure by dis
posing of four of it's warshlps. That Is
to say, eight war-ships have inst been
placed upon the market. While moth
inc ia known concerning the quail
ties of the cruisers of the Arge-
tine Republic, the CHILEAN
navy comprises some of the
very finest, most powerful and up-to-
date armored cruisers in existence.
Providing the ships which Chill wishes
to sell are the new ones, the United
States government could not do better
than become purchaser, as they COM
prise some of the very best craft that
have been turned out of English yards.
The sale would be of immense benefit
to Chilli, a country the finances of
which have fallen into embarrassment,
almost entirely in consequence OF an
exc sssive expenditure in the fgh ting
services, especially the navy. 1t is
said this decision was reached last
