Notwithstanding the fnct that iis esti-
mate was cut down each year. The

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires.
London, Eng, Aug. %. "A special
dispatch from st, Petersburg contains
the assertion that Russia almost imme-

% years, Is locked up at the police
station on the charge Of stealing s69. 30
worth of clothing and other articles
from his former employer, James V.
Martin of No 9O4 West Ninth street,
who is butcher In Third street
market. Thomas was arrested Tuesday

belonging to his son, silk dress and
another dress belonging to Mrs. Martin,
sweater, pair OF shoes and some sill
yerware were stolen. The prisoner is
to have a hearing in the City Court
this morning.
Mr.. Martin, when seen by u reporter
Of I he Gazette yesterday morning, said
the articles had been taken, one at n
time, during the past three weeks. He
made the discovery last Thursday that
be was being robbed, but at the time
did not suspect Thomas. who had been
in his employ about three years, both
at the market house and at his resi-
denee, and was trusted.
Last Saturday night, however. MIR.
Martin set trap for the thief and
succeeded in arriving at the conclusion
that Thomas was to blame. Mr.. Martin
placed cigar Oh a large silver dish in
the dining room, and short time
afterward he found the cigar in another
place and the dish was gone. Thomas
was asked about the disappearance Of
the dish, but professed Ignorance.
All the members Of the family went
out, but arrangements were made to
watch the house. Before their de-
parture Mr.. Martin, who suspected that
the dish had been secretsd somewhere
about the premises and the thief would
return for it later, asked a neighbour to
keep watch. The neighbour did SO and
during the evening telephoned to Mr..
Martin that he had seen Thomas leave
the place with two bundles. Shortly
sfterBard Mr.. Martin saw Thomas at
Third and King streets and asked him
about the missing articles. Thomas at
first picfessed ignorance, but when
threatened with arrest made con-
fession and stated that most Of the
goods had been pledged at Levy's. He
accompanied Mr. Martin to the lean
Office, where some Of the articles were
found.
Afterward other articles were missed
and Mr.. Martin placed the matter in
the hands of the police. The arrest fol-
lowed, as stated above.
