Two Slick Thieves Caught

Last Friday several fine watches

men werc informed and went to
work quietly, with the result that
the watches were all recovered
and VIM. Mackey, the colored
draymen for the stere, now lies

guilty of the crime to which he
has confessed. But this was not
aA. Acgrip sack belonging to Mr.
Walter Curston had been stolen
from the Marrow Gauge train
Thursday, and while searching
for the watches the policemen ran
upon some of the contents Of that
grip. Upon investigation it was
found that Jonas Pratt, the night
watchmaa at the depot, had had
. finger in the stealing and that
he and the Aacksy negro were in
together in the stealing bu.iness.
Pratt was also lodged in Jail after
making full confession. Pretty
much svsrstbing that had been
stolen was recovered except Mr..
Curston's land papers which the
negroes said they had burned.
Both, negroes bore good characters
and were getting good wages be-
cause of their supposed honesty.

WHITE HOUSE CHANDELIERS.
They Will Be Hung Permanently IL
the Capitol,

Some Of the historic fixtures of the White
House which have been removed in the
reconstruction of that building are to be-
preserved and given a permanent place at
the Capitol. Perhaps the most notable OF
these are the nine huge glass chandeliers.
two of which hung in the old east room.
while the others hung In the different par
lors. Each one of the chandeliers was COM
posed Of many thousands of pieces OF cut
glass and each cost more than $500.
By direction Of President Roosevelt, Mr..
Elliott Woods, superint endent Of the Cap
itol, has been able to get these chandeliers
through Col Bingham, superintendent or
public buildings and grounds. The chande-
Tiers are now being overhauled and put In
shape, and will be hung at the Capitol dur
ing the holiday recess Of Congress. One
is to be hung in the Vice Presidents room,
one in the Speakers private office, two Ia
the corridor Immediately back Of the hall
Of the House, one each in the appropriations
and ways and means committee rooms or
the House and one in the District Of CO.
lumbia committee room of the Senate.
The chandeliers were made to be lit by
gas, but as there is no gas In the Capitol
electricity will be used in place. Each
chandelier has places for from thirty-five
to fifty lights, and aside from their artistic
value, they are-regarded as valuable his
torical acquisitions to the furniture Of the
Capitol.
A number Of book cases which were for
merly used In the White House have also
been consigned to the Capitol. and will be
put in place in the rooms of the old section
of the building; also number Of historic
mantels. The mantels will be placed In
some of the committee rooms constructed
from the old library rooms. Each historic
piece which is put in place Will be labeled
so that visitors may be able to distinguish
the historic pieces of the old White House.

Better Tone to the Stock Mar
ket Today.
BEARS SOUGHT COVER
ACTIVITY IN L. AND N. AND
SOUTHERN.
Hard Coal Roads Were Neglected
Good Buying Of Ameri-
can Sugar.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 2S.-The tone of
todays stock market was decidedly firm
and there was moderate increase in the
volume of commission business The news
of the day was largely of routine charac-
ter and was favorable to prices In most in
stances.
Earnings showed substantial increases
and good buying was recorded in several
specialties. Louisville and Nashville was
advanced sharply during the afternoon.
and the Southern railway issues became &C
tive in sympathy.
A short interest helped the recovery and
the supply of stock was less liberal than
supposed. The demand had a prompt in
f1uence on prices, and gave rise to rumors
of aggressiveness on the part Of Morgan
interests.
Atchison's October earnings showing an
increase of more than s252O0 led to an in
creased demand for both accounts. Read
ing was we'll bought and responded easily.
The hard coal stocks a group were
moved irregularly within narrow range.
Norfolk and Western rallied over 1 per
cent and the buying was called good.
ST. Paul came in for mixed demand. in
which some splendid buying was reported
and from the same sources came a demand
for Amalgamated Copper.
Manhattan was supported around 1856
but no attempt was made to force ad-
vance in 1t now that the good news is out.
There was hurried demand for Brooklyn
Transit as the result Of a rumor that 1t
would be the next traction property to be
forced into some consolidation. Once the
short interest was supplied the demand
slackened.
American Sugar advanced under buying
inspired by the prospects for harmony with
the beet sugar interests. The latter indus
try will be less hostile to the Cuban reci-
procity bill, and the chances for a busy
winter In the speculative sugar market are
considered good.
The fear Of antitrust legislation Is de-
creasing. and some OF the older industrjals
are likely to work to the forefront Of the
winters speculation. While the mass Of
indigestible new securities are being work.

might prove to be as an effective cloak as
