BURGLAR CAPTURED
A NEGRO TRAPPED IN Mr.. GEORGE R.
FRENGH'S RESIDENCE
Glass and a Telephone Mes
sage Gave Him Away-One Burglar
Made Escape-The One Caught Was
an Ex-Convict, and Had Just Came
From the P~enftentiary.

A sensational capture was made by
the police last night. About $3.50 o'clock
a telephone message was received at
the city hall, saying that ii was believ-
ed that a burglar was in Mr.. George
f. French's residence on the southwest
corner of Third and n streets.
Captain Williams, Sergeant c.. 8.
Burnett and Sergeant G.. H. Ward re-
sponded, surrounded Mr.. French's res
convict named Jack Taylor, a dudish
negro about "a years of age.
While sitting on the piazza at his
home opposite Mr.. French's residence,
Mr.. Willie Peck heard glass break over
at Mr.. French's residence and in a few
minutes some one lighted the gass in
a room up stairs. He reported the mat
ter to Mr.. J.. w. Murchison and the lat
ter gentleman called up police head
quarters at the city hall, and secured
a prompt response from the officers.
When the three officers got to the
scene they surrounded the house.
While Messrs. Murchison and Peck
stood at the front gate. Mr.. French's
family is absent from the city and
thinking some one might be sleeping in
the house, it was decided to have Mr..
Peck to ring the door bell. At the first
sound Of the bell, the light went out
suddenly and the officers hen knew
that the intruder was a burglar. The
officers then entered the house and the
burglar realizing that he was trapped,
ran out of the rear part of the house.
Sergeant Burnet happened to be stand
ing near the steps and as the negro
ran out the sergeant gave him a blow
beside the head knocking him down.
He closed in with the burglar and yell
ed that he had him. Captain Williams
and Sergeant Ward then ran to his as
sistance and found him and the burg
lar in a desperate struggle. When help
arrived, however, the burglar was held
good and fast and taken to the city
hall. Taylor informed the officers that
another negro was also in he house
with him. On his person was found a
razor, a cigar case, lady's breastpin
and two handkerchiefs belonging to
MI. French.
The burglar broke into the house
from a piazza On the south side Of the
house. By wrenching off the blinds
and some of the Stats, and then knock
ing a big pane of glass out of the win
dow. He got into the dining room
through this window. When he broke
the glass he got his hand cut and when
captured he had a piece of lace curtain
wrapped around his hand. He is a
dudish negro about 25 years of age.
He has been out of the penitentiary
only two weeks, having served a term
OF II months for stealing a set of har-
ness from Mr.. George E. Pope.
Taylor informed the police that Ed
Conner. colored, who resides on church
street between Third and Fourth
streets. was the man h was in the
house with him.. Sergeant Burnett ar
rested him at his home this morning at
2:15 o'clock. He denies having had
anything to do with the burglary.
The burglars will probably be given a
hearing by Mayor Waddell this morn
ing.

CALLED TO ETERNAL REST
The Spirit of Miss Marie Clawson
Goes to Its Home in Heaven

Last evening at Gas o'clock the spirit
of Marie Grace Clawson. passed into
eternal rest at the residence of her
parents on North Front street. Many
days of illness from typhoid fever and
accompanying suffering had afflicted
her. but bravely, courageously and
above all with Christian spirit she bore
it, telling her father, whom she loved
dearly. that she would soon be, we'll,
but He who doeth all things we'll o
her to dwell with Him n sad, sad
indeed 1t is to record the death ever
of the old but how much more sadness
it brings to US TO learn or the death
of one just budding into womanhood.
Sitting at his desk. which for Years
he has nightly occupied. it is with the
deepest sympathy we write OF the death
of this bright young being, the only
daughter, the only child Of Thos. w.
Clawson the city editor Of The Mes
senger Born now nearly fifteen years
ago, in Columbia, s. c., h had passed
nearly her entire life here in Whining
ton-the light Of her fathers life, the
companion and comfort Of her mother,
and these two are left bereft and years
only can assuage the grief which now
has come to them. This is not idle
fancy, but that Of one who has known
little Marie Grace from infancy-en-
dowed with charming characteristics,
gentle and loving in disposition, she
won friends innumerable, all of whom
became d~evotedly attached to her. Her
life was one of unSelfishness and fire.
quently demonstrated her willingness
and desire to please her companions.
Early showing her disposition, she
joinedNGrace Methodist church and be-
came an active worker, o o becoming
the organist of Epworth League.
Graceful in person. charming in dis
position and beautiful in figure, she
was admired by all. o friends and
strangers and all her friends loved her.
The residence. No. 404 North Front
street, is one full Of sorrow and sad
ness and both the dear father and
mother viii accept the heartfelt SYM
pathy Of all who know them.
The funera will be held this after
noon at $50 o'clock at Grace NJ. E.
church.
the great haven of rest, Rev. j. N.
Cole, D. D., pastor of Grace church,
truly said:
we feel that the Lord has come into
our garden and has plucked n of the
sweetest flowers that bloomed. This
dear girl was one Of the brightest n
happiest Christian workers in our
midst. She had the religious temper
ament n was devoted to her Chris
tian duties. She was a devou student
of the Bible. She was given to habits
Of prayer. h was active and SYM
pathetic in works of mercy. She was
richly endowed for a life of long use
fitness. No n in all the ranks of our
young people gave promise of a life
more abundant in good works or more
Beautiful in character. Her sweet life
EAs an inspiration to US all h made
many hearts happy. Her loss will be
keenly felt by us as a church"
