THE JONES BURGLARY.
Policeman Rcith's Lively Fight With
Cornelius johnson.


Cornelius Johnson. colored, thirty-three
'ars old, is prisoner at No. s station.
harged with housebreaking at night He
fas captured after hard fight about $50
o'clock yesterday morning by Policeman
Reith, while under a bed at the home OF
Edward Tracy Jones, 2O2O Portner Place
northwest. johnson attempted to ransack
the Jones home The fact that he is IN
der arrest is due to his timidity in the
face Of an emergency and the presence of
mind of Mr.. Jones. johnson will be ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning
II is probable that an additional charge
OF entering and robbing the home OF Henry
S. Ridgely, 2014 Portner Place, three
houses from the Jones home, will be enter
ed against him. When searched johnson
had in his possession a number OF keys,
which. 1t later developed, fitted several
locks in the block, including those of the
front doors at the Jones and Ridges
homes.
johnson effected his entrance 70 the
Jones home by means Of one Of the keys.
He opened the front door, went 10 the par
lor, where he removed his shoes, and
quietly mounted the stairs to the sleeping
room of Mr. Jones. There he began
search for jewelry booty. Finding little,
he began fumbling under the pillow of Mr..
Jones bed. evidently thinking that yalu-
ables had been put there for safe keeping
Johnson touched the face Of Nj. Jones,
who was awakened but. seeing no one.
supposed his slumbers had been disturbed
by dream. He was about 10 dismiss the
matter from his mind. when he heard
heavy breathing and the creak OF a board
This thoroughly aroused Mr.. Jones. and.
leaving his bed he struck a light. There
was apparently no intruder in the room.
Being satisfied, however, that all was not
right, Mr.. Jones summoned a next-door
neighbor. IN the absence Of 4 police
whistle, the neighbor procured his re-
yolver, which he fired in order to attract
attention. The shot aroused several per
sons in the vicinity and brought Policeman
Reith to the scene He began search
and discovered the shoeless foot OF a man
protruding from under the bed in Mr.
Jones room. He ordered the owner 10
come out but johnson refused TO obey, and
then began a struggle.
Reith grabbed the foot and in turn was
caught by the leg and pulled TO the floor.

Finally. after hard fight. in which Keith
used his club severely he overpowered
Johnson and led him to the station There
the prisoner refused to talk except to say
thar he could not account for his presence
at the Jones home. He feigned a stupor
and appeared not 10 understand the ques-
ticns put to him. He would not explain
the presence of the many KEYS in his peck
cts.
The overcoat which Johnson wore. and
which he left with his shoes in the parlor
Of the Jones home, was later identified as
the property Of Mr.. Ridgely. 1t was stolen
from hat rack in the front hall of the
Ridgely house Friday night. Johnson de-
MED that he stole the coat.
After he was locked in a cell johnson
was identified by Policeman Upperman as
the man he had seen hanging about the
neighh0rhood of Portner Place earlier in
the night. Uppcrman attempted to get
close TO him without arousing suspicion,
but WAS unsuccessful.

THE WEEKS MURDER CASES.
TaImadge Walker ana George Ash.
ton to be Put on Trial

spf 10 XIV Ut
Two murder cases are set for trial this
week in Criminal Court No. 1, Justice
Clabaugh presiding. Talmadge Walker
alias Thomas Walker, colored. charged
with the murder of Hannibal Shorter also
colored will be called to trial today. and
George Ashton will be put on trial Thurs
day for the murder of Ida Jackson, col
ored.
Very little interest seems to be taken
in the result of the trial OF Walker. The
killing of which he IS accused was the
result of street fight between him and
the deceased. On account of the brutality
OF the circumstances surrounding the Kill
ing of the Jackson woman, however, the
result is being closely watched 1t is
stated that Ashton and the woman had
been drinking together for several hours
before the latter was killed. The murder
was prompted by jealousy.
As the story goes, Ashton left the
woman for a short while to replenish the
supply of drink. and when he returned
found another man talking to her. Ash
ton. il is said, became enraged and left
the house. He did not go far. however.
but remained within sight of the house,
and when the woman's visitor left he re-
turned to her. He Immediately set upon
her, it is charged, and felled her with
blow OF his fist He then began to kick
her. Not making quick enough work of
his murderous job in this way, Ashton
picked up a heavy chair and struck the
PROSTATE woman several blows upon the
head.
When Ashton is called for trial his
counsel will contend that the offence COM
mitted is not murder but manslaushter,
because no deadly weapon was used. 1t
is understood. however, that the Govern
ment will produce witnesses who saw
Ashton strike the woman with a chair

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG

Good Medicine.

II Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are 50 common and in
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion ON any rem

cure for dyspepsia and indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially in
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far; so far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges
ton rather than risk a-little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims made
of a preparation so reliable and univer-
sally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

the bag to her he stood off, while she opened it.
 What a cry Ethel made as she untwisted little expected to see anything so funny. There, squirming in the bottom of the bag, was fish, and by it's side was another.
 "They're little codish," said the fisher man, mo longer than your hand. By and by they will grow big. if I throw them back into the water. I caught them and thought I'd do them up in a paper for some nice little girl like yourself"
 Dear me, how funny" said Ethel, look ing at the squirming beauties. will they ever grow into big codfsh?'
 T guess so,' said the man.
 "Then let us throw them back into the water" said Ethel.
 So the fisherman took her by the hand and the two went down to the beach where a little rowboat lay we'll pulled on the shore In the bottom were many fish, That is my boat out on the bay" said the fisherman, and when I come down here again and see you playing in the sand I will come and get you"
 "Wili we catch the same fish again % asked Ethel.
 No, I don't think we will" said the fisherman, " for soon the cod go north and there in the colder waters they grow big"
 Il am much obliged to you,' said Ethel And then she held out her hand and laid it in the big red hand of the fisherman who gave 1t gentle squeeze and bade her good bye. "I will tell my little girls about you" he said.

ETHEL's DAY AT THE sEAsHoRE
And the Man Who Gave Her Present
 and Made Promise

It was summer again and for the first time in ten months little Ethel May, ac- companied by her gradma May and two little neighbors, went down on the big steamer which rides so gaily in the sum- mer upon New York bay; and an hour later found herself upon Coney Island S shores
 How lovely the beach looked Ethel clapped her hands with joy as she reached minutes she could say nothing, until she minutes she could say nothing, until she had heaped her little pail over and over again and dumped its contents out upon the benach. Was there ever such a place as Coney Island. Never, Ethel thought, as she dug into the sand again and fairly kissed it in her joy at seeing it once more.
 After Ethel had filled her pail as many times as she desiTed. she began digging a hole in the sand and pretty soon she had a hollow big enough to hold her own self. Then, standing deep in the hole, she dug all around her, heaping the sand high, un- til she was buried shin deep. What fun it Wasi
 Later the land and her friends had sand wiches and lemonade and then all returned to the duty of digging in the sand It was

so varied ali the time, so different each moment, as it tumbled into the hollows and reared itself into mounds that Ethel thought she could shovel on forever.
 So busy was she that she did not notice that her friends had gone to play an- other part of the beach, nor did she see anyone approach her. until she heard a gruff voice cry out; Hello, hello, little girl. What are you doing?'
 Ethel was terribly frightened for min ute, for she feared she had done something wrong, but the strangers voice was not so grun after all and Ethel pluclSed up her courage and answered him.
 1 am digging a hole in the sand if you please sir,' she said as prettily as she could. And then she added: T hope I am not in your way"
 At this the stranger laughed in loud gruff voice that startled Ethel again.
 Come out of your hole, little girl,' said he, "and see what I have got for you.'
 As Ethel walked on the beach toward the stranger she noticed that he was not well dressed man like her papa; and she noticed also that his hands were big and red and very rough. Even his face was red and rough and scraggy red whiskers covered most of 1t.
 Ethel stopped short and looked at him.
 "I know I ain't pretty, little girl, said he. "but I like children. I've got some at home of my own. I am fisherman"
 "Oh," said Ethel. Are you one of the men who sit all day in their boats on the ocean? My papa has told me all about them and shown me pictures of the boats.'

 Do you?' asked the man, looking off at the sea. then I'll take you out in my boat
 "Oh. sir" said Ethel, quickly. q can not go without asking my grandma, and she is a long way off, way over there on the sand. But, sometime, if you will take me l would like to go with you and maybe grandma will go too"
 Well, we'll see.' said the fisherman. "But you haven't asked what I've got for you in this little paper; no, not the big one. That is my lunch"
 Ethel looked hard at the little paper bag and thought she saw it move.
 "Yes. it's alive" said the fisherman, "alive and kicking."
 "Is it a lsitten2" asked Ethel
 No" said the man, laughing. "It isn't a ktten.
