--Plunder Found on His Person. Fireman William P. Carleton, of en- zine company No. 5, early last even- ing distinguished himself by capturing a burglar on Lombard street. The burglar had just jumped through a window in the house of Thomas H. Newbold, at No. 156 Lombard street, when Carleton gave chase and caught him in a vacant lot adjoining the New bold house.
 The house at No. 156 Lombard street is rented by MT. Newbold, who occu- pies the first floor. The second floor is occupied by Lowell H. Page, lieutenant of Company D, the Blues. Last even- ing MT. and Mrs. Newbold had gone to call upon Mrs. Newbold's father, MT. Baldwin, at the corner of Lloyd and Wolcott streets, and no one was at home in the lower part of the house. When MT. Page came home from work shortly after 6 o'clock he heard noise of some one walking about down stairs. He knew that the Newpolds were out and so went down stairs to investigate and find out who was there.
 
 there distinctly heard someone walking about on the floor above. MT. and Mrs. Newbold had left the key of their apart ments with Mrs. Page when they went out and Mr. Page securing this key proceeded to enter the apartments on the first floor
 Fireman Carleton lives near by and he happened to be passing about this time on his way home to supper. Just before he entered MT. Newbold's apart ments Mir Page seeing MT. Carleton on the street in front Of the house beck oned to him and told him that he thought there was burglar in the house. Carleton stood on guard out side when MT. Page entered the rooms. As MT. Page stepped through the door man who was inside leaped through window to the yard and started to run. Fireman Carleton, who was on watch, saw him and gave chase. Next to the house is a vacant lot in which there is an excavation for a new build ing and into this hole the fugitive stumbled and fell Carleton was close behind him and when the burglar fell Carleton jumped upon him and held him until assistance arrived.
 Two other f1remen live nearby on Lombard street, Frederick Holt, of No. 10 engine company, and Fireman Shee- han, of No engine company. They happened to be passing and hastened to Carletons assistance. By this time word had been telephoned to the Grand avenue police station and Sergeant Mo- Bride sent the patrol wagon over to Lombard street in a hurry.
 The prisoner was taken to the station house and there Detective Ward iden- tified him as Frank P. Shea, a twenty l year-old youth, who was at liberty un- der bonds, having been bound over to | the superior court about ten months | ago on the charge of burglarizing a | house on Lenox avenue. Tn his poclS- 1 cts, when he was searched last night, | were a diamond ring and some valuable | coins. Those of the coins were found where he had fallen in the lot and they and the ring were identi- fled by MT Newbold as having been taken from his house Shea had gained admission to the house by means of a skeleton key and this was found in his pocket when he was searched by the police. He was. locked up under the charge of burglary. He is also sus- pected of having committed burglary which occurred on Grafton street not long ago.
 Lynch, the man who broke jail here some time ago while awaiting transpor- tation to the state prison, was convicted of burglarizng a house near the house which young Shea was burglarizing last night,
