ROBBERY IN FULTON
Mr.. Kessler ChIoroformed and MIR. Hig-
gins Assaulted.

The clearinghouse of Mr.. W. S.
Brockwell, No. 30 Louisiana Street,
Fulton, was entered and robbed Satur-
day last about midnight. Mr.. P. II.
Kessler, one Of the boarders, was chloro-
formed, Mr.. George Higgins had a
brick thrown at him by the burglar, and
the trunk belonging to Mr.. Higgins was
broken open and robbed.
The above sums up one of the boldest
robberies Fulton has ever experienced.
The account given by Mr.. Brockwell
is a graphic one and is follows:
Shortly after midnight Saturday night
an unknown white man entered my resi-
dence through the front door and got
into the, room Of Messrs. Higgins and
KeSsler on the second floor.
MIR. kessler had retired about an
hour before, extinguishing the gas. Mr..
Kessler said he heard some one enter
the room, but thought it was Mr.. Hig-
gins and did not speak. He could not
see for the darkness.
He felt some one touch him, but think
ing it was Mr. Higgins retiring did not
move A short time afterwards Mr.. Hig-
gins came in and repaired to his room.
On lighting the gas he saw that the
articles in the room had been rearranged
and number of his garments were
found on the floor.
He started to unlock his trunk to put
his watch in. when he saw that his trunk
lock had been picked, and further inves-
tigation showed that $50 and a ring worth
$50 had been stolen.
eat that time he saw a man pass down
the hall towards the back porch.
He called to the man, but he did
not answer. He rushed after him and
saw him make his exit down the back
steps.
He ran to my room, secured my p1s-
tol and went out of the front door. In
a few seconds 1 heard three shots fired
before I finished dressing. AS soon as
could get my clothes I left to lock for
him. While passing through the alley
stumbled against his body. I thought
he had been shot. After few min
utes he came to and I found he had
been struck by brick. I assisted him
to mis- room.
1--WE attempted to wake Kessler, which
was somewhat difficult. A strong odor
prevailed the room and when Mr.. Kess
Ter was aroused he looked stupid. He
knew nothing about the robbery, but
thought he saw Higgins come in and
retire. believed. and he does also. that
he was chloroformed. The man was
white. He was dressed in black and
wore derby
Evidently it was some one familiar
with the house.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 22--
Temporary stopping of the elevator in
the Washington monument is one OF the
results Of the anthracite coal strike.
The supply Of fuel was exhausted yes

secure an additional supply were unsuc-
cessful, and the machinery went out OF

It is uncertain where the District COM

not last beyond Thanksgiving Day.

THE new ACADEMY
WILL OPEN TO-DAY
DR.. Chandler Says Limit Of Fifty
Students Will Soon Be
Reached.

The Richmond Academy. located on
Park Avenue, and controlled by the trus-
tees of Richmond College. will be opened
this morning for the first time. The
prospects for the success Of the school
are unusually good.
DR.. Chandler, dean of the faculty,
stated yesterday afternoon that he was
forced to confess that they We're brighter
than he had dared to hope. He con-
tinued that he had succeeded in getting
the promises of thirty students, and that
yesterday morning seventeen others pre-
senting themselves for matrculation.
The first session Of the Academy is to-
day All the students Will board in the
city No dormitory or refectory is con-
nected with the Academy. One of the
teachers will sleep on the premises. DR..
Chandler thinks that forty students will
be entered to-day, and that the limit
of fifty will be secured by the end Of
September.
The Mcguire school opened yesterday
with an enrolment of 200 This is the
beginning of the thirty-eighth session.
This excellent school for boys was opened
by its principal and proprietor at the
close of the war. and has been success
fully conducted ever since. The pros
poets were never brighter than at pres
ent. !
DR.. Hatcher said yesterday that the
Fork Union Academy which opens
Thursday. will be crowded with students
this session. Many of the young men
from the northern and eastern portion Of
Virginia will pass through this city on
Wednesday and Thursday.
Professor Julien B. Martin. principal,
and Professor Walton. military director.
of the Academy. are in the city and will
go to Fork Union to-day.
The Woman's College will begin its ses-
sion Of 1902-03 to-day. For years this
school has had nothing but excellent
opening days and prosperous sessions.
Young ladies will pour in to-day from
every section Of the State and country.
All young ladies prepared to enter col
lege will be accepted The report that
only those more than eighteen years OF
age would be admitted is an error 1t
is quite likely that DR.. Nelson will have
to deny admission to young ladies this
session as for a number of years because
of the lack Of room at the College to take
care of them. but all day students will
4 be received.

MAYORS DUTY
Should Take An Active Part In Police
Board. Think Members.

It was said by members OF the Board OF
Police Commissioners yesterday that
Mayor Taylor had, upon several occa-
sions, recently declined to take part in
the work OF that board, in so far as de-
livering reprn1ands to delinquent officers
was concerned.
The Mayor should be a power in the
board" said one member. His counsel
and advice would be heartily welcomed at
every meeting. So far from being
mere figurehead, as he has said, he IS
an important member of that BODY. lie
is chairman and has the right to de-
bate upon any subject that comes UP.
"He has as much power in that body
as the President of the United States
Senate has in that body, or the Speaker
of the House of Representatives has In
that body. He can advocate measures.
make suggestions and by his wise counsel
do much toward the improvement of the
department..
.'Instead of doing this, he simply
calls the meeting together. puts the mo-
ton announces the vote and asks Tor ad-
journment. He takes no part in the dlS-
cussion, no matter what the subject. We
would welcome him into the discussions
and we would be glad to have his opln-
ions. But we get neither
."Che Mayor does not take advantage
Of his opportunities in the board nor does
he exercise his prerogatives. We do
many things beside voting, and we want
tie Mayor to take part in what we do
Upon several occasions recently he has
been asked to deliver reprimands, but he
has invariably declined to do so, and this
duty, which is clearly that of the chair
man, has fallen upon other members OF
the board
Mayor TAYLOR has always contended
that he was a figurehead on the board
ana has often expressed the wish that
the Mayor were not even that much on
the board.
