does all sorts of work for the neighbors,
was arrested yesterday morning by Detec-
tive Thornton on a charge of burglary and

When she cried out the man dropped TO his
knees and crawled into the parlor, from
which he escaped through an open window.

door and went into the sleeping apartments
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher. He mad searched
Mr. Fishers clothes, from which he took
about IS. and was in the act Of searching
Mrs. Fishers garments when discovered.
Mrs. Fisher thinks he dropped TO his knees
in order that he might hide his face, but in
this he did not succeed as she had a good
look at him and recognized, as she claims,
john Conn. Conn has done many small Jobs
of work for Mrs. Fisher and was familiar

A Painted Boy Was Directed Against
Mr.. Lowe.

Sergeant John Lowe. OF the police de-
partment, Ia no smallpox diagnostician.
Yesterday morning the police station fire.
TSenters took advantage of the sergeant.
A young boy, Orrin Figg. 51 East WASH
ington street, happened along and was taken
into the station and daubed with a dark
red paste which had been taken from some
member OF the theatrical profession I'M
fortunate enough TO come into the hands
of the police. The boy soon bore prima facie
evidence OF a well-developed case of small
pox- He was given full instructions and
started TO carry them out. About this time
Sergeant Boylan suddenly remembered that
he had business i'm another part of the
building and asked Sergeant Lowe 10 take
his desk Tor a few moments. The unSuS-
pecting officer took the seat at the desk
and In a minute a lad of about twelve
years with his cap pulled down over his
face and his coat collar turned up came
into the office and walked right up TO Lowe.

boy. Being informed that IL was not, he
said. Wei. I'm awful sick. and L think 1

whats that? What's that?' cried the
sergeant Get out of here, get out at once. 1
don't want TO see YOU" and the sergeant
retreated into the office OF Captain Dawson,
where he mentioned something about small
pox. Superintendent Quigley came in Just
then and was given the wink by the cap
tain, who said he did not think ii right TO
allow Sergeant Lowe TO send boys from the
station 10 run on the streets when they
were afflicted with smallpox. The superin-
tendent thought not. Then Captain Daw-
son called TO the boy, Come here, lad. let's
see what's the matter" Sergeant Lowe was
standing by the captains desk. The boy
came into the room and the sergeant went
out the window. which was open. Nor did
he come back for a while.

He returned at Ills and rendered the agreed
price in payment, but Mr.. Bowen asked

time, which was refused. Stevenson had
laid his Overcoat on a chair and this Bowen
picked up and made some mention of see
ing whether or not he would get the extra
80 cents. Stevenson grabbed at the coat
and then proceeded TO punch the liveryman,
who was seated in a chair. three or four
times in the face. Bowen Continued the
scramble. In the meantime the police had
been called. Holtz and Bray arrived and
Stevenson, who this time gave his name as

large cities. The discourse will be illustrated

WAS RATHER WILD.
Four Shots Said to- Have Gone Wide
of the Mark.

Bicycle Police Holtz and Bray were sent
yesterday afternoon to the home of
william Cassiday, 1924 Chestnut street. to
investigate a case in which considerable
shooting had been reported to the police.
When they arrived at the number they
found Mrs. Cassiday and son there. On the
table was spread a Sunday dinner which
had not been touched. 1t was learned that
Lawrence Morgan, wife and child, living at
so Chadwick street, had been there to eat
dinner with them. Shortly after the arrival
of the Morgan family the two men left the
house and were absent until about 2 o'clock.
Both, it is said, were under the influence of
liquor when they returned, and shortly
after CaSsiday was reproved by his wife for
being in such a condition. He did not like
this and was said to be about to strike her,
when Morgan interferred. This angered
Cassidy very much. so he went into the
house and came out again, saying TO Nor
gan. who with his family was leaving the
place, Il guess L can get you.
whereupon he fired four shots from a re-
volver. None OF them did harm. Cassiday's
son claims his father fired the first two
shots into the ground and the last two into
the air. Other witnesses claim the four shots
were fired directly at Morgan. Cassiday was
not found.
