FOUR BOYSUNDER
THEY CONFESS TO HAVING ROBBED
SEVERAL NORTH-SIDE HOUSES.
Some of the Stolen Property Identf-
fied-The Youngsters Are
All COIOred.

The detectives yesterday succeeded in
getting from John Anderson, Fred Snyder.
Shelton Conroy and William Barnes. four
colored lads, who were arrested several
days ago by Patrolmen Pope and Hite, a
confession to several burglaries. The
parolmen saw them on Missouri street
with a large bundle of cloth which they
dropped when approached, running away.
They were found later and sent to head
quarters.
Anderson and Snyder wore no garments
which had not been stolen and almost all
OF their apparel was identified as having
been taken from the residence of Mrs.
Culp, 332 North Delaware street. The boys
confessed to having entered Mayor Tag
CARTS house and aking a muller, a banjo
and a guitar. They had also taken articles
from Mrs. Weigand, 127 West Michigan
street. and Mrs. Huber, 1886 North IIi-
nois street, all of whom have identified
some OF the articles found in their posses
sion and in pawn shops and traced to the
boys. They claim to have told of all the
houses which they have robbed, yet the
not vet been able to identify. Among these
are a vest, a black Stetson hat, with the
mark of a Bates House halter, a small
silk American flag, one pair of women's
gloves, and one pair of gentlemen's gloves.
The woman's gloves, 1T was said, were
taken from q stand in the parlor and the
other pair from an OVercoat pocket. The
detectives are of the belief that many
petty robberies can be traced to the gang.

SUNK DURING A STORM
IRON ORE BARGE CHARLES FOSTER
LOST ON LAKE ERIE.
All on Board, Eight Persons, Drowned
Plunged to the Bottom Nose First
i'm an Angry Sea.

ERIE, Pa, Dec. 9.-In the midst of one of
the most bitter gales that ever swept Lake
Erie, the iron ore barge Charles Foster, in
at 4 o'clock this morning. ten miles of
Erie. and eight persons were drowned. as
follows:
JOHN BRIDGE, captain, of Cleveland. =
FIRST NATE, name unknown.
SECOND MATE, name unknown.
ROBERT WOOD, seaman.
WILLIAM KELLY, seaman, both of Port
Austin, Mich.
MRS. MAY, cook. of Detroit.
TWO UNKNOWN DECKHANDS.
The Charles Foster was one of the fleet
of James Corrigan. of Cleveland, and for
two months has been running from Duluth
of 1900 tons of ore.
Captain Ashley, of the Iron Duke. made
Erie in safety. In an interview he said
THE Foster was In tow, six hundred feet
astern. / was UP all night and there were
three men on watch with me. The seas
were rolling tremendously from the north
west and the gale carried with IL a binding
snowstorm. We made the harbor light al
right. When we turned for the harbor a
sea much heavier than any other exper-
fenced struck US. / ran on to the stern.
Just as / got there the Foster plunged in
ali awful sea and dove down nose first.
There was not a cry from a soul of the
crew of eight persons she carried. Just as
she pitched down l saw a man on her fore
castle with a lantern. The towline parted
when she went down. The storm was so
heavy hat L could not put about TO hunt
for any one. There would not have been
a particle of use. anyhow, because in those
tremendous waters no one could have lived
a minute, even If they had not been icy
cold. Had there been a cry for help 1 would
nave turned and rissed my ship, but IL
was no use. / had all L could do to mako
pert in safety myself"
When asked for an opinion as to the
cause for the sinking of the Foster Capt.
Ashley said he could not tell. Apparently
everything was all right aboard her until
she took the fatal Dip" he said. There
had not been Il single signal of distress
from her up TO that time"
There were sixty to one hundred feet of
water where the wreck occurred, and there
is little hope of ever being able TO locate
the place. The Foster was valued at &c.,
coo. but there was no insurance, as it
elapsed Dec. l. The cargo was not insured.
The life-saving crew took a trip out to-
day, but could find no trace of w~reckage.
