 ROBBERY. .
At St. John s Church
 This Time.
The Thieves only Got a Few Pennies Out of the Poor Box The Second Church Robbery in a Week.

Nothing short of extreme vigilance on the part of the police win save
 Waterbury people from the great con venience so many enjoyed by the open door in the churches, for the opera tions of thieves are becoming So an- moving it looks as if the churches will have to be kept under lock and key except on such occasions as services are being held in them. The parties engaged in the business are no re spectors of creeds, ais anybody can sec by the fact that in addition to making a call at one of the Roman Catholic churches they also visited St Johns Episcopal church on West Main street where they helped themselves to such change as they found in the poor box, which fortunately could not have been much for it is emptied every Sunday so that the thieves didn't come into possession of sufficient booty there. either, to pay them for their trouble. Of course there is nothing very un- usual about this. Such things have happened before, but it appears that there is an organized gang at work here just now aud it is well to warn the public of their presence in the community, for they are not likely to abandon the field empty handed. 1t is an easy matter to rob church, for nobody takes the slightest notice of people passing in or out of them and couple of fellows who know their business can get away with any thing in the shape of money or other valuable property without much chance of detection. Most of the churches are on the lookout for such things and don't leave much money in the poor boxes and lock all the doors except the front entrances when no services are being held. The vestries are also secured so that in some places the worst they can do is rife the poor boxes and do some dan1- age about the altars. What has al ready happened will put everybody on his guard and may be the means of preventing serious losses The police force is on the alert and if anybody should be caught 1t is safe tO predict that the offender will get the full length of the lash.

twenty millions fol. all he knows. The validity of some of the claims, how. ever, said the attorney, was another matter In the same period at leasl two banks have taken official cognIz ance of the case and the federal off cers have taken it upon themselves to investigate the validity of notes aggre- gating more than a million dollars which bear the name of Andrew Car negie. MT Carnegie, the ironmaster has stated that he never signed any notes, that he never has had any deal- ings with Mrs Chadwick to whom the notes iii question were made payable, and that he will be perfectly willing to communicate the same Information to any official with proper authority who cares to call upon him This oppor. tunitY has now been given him ano his reply. to the communication of Prosecuting Attorney heeler of Cleve. land, which was sent last night. is awaited with interest. MT Keeler's message mot only asks Mir Carnegie if he signed the three notes, one of which calls for $250,0O0 and tue other two for $5OO,OOO each. but if he win go to Ohio if necessary to testify that he did not The dispatch concludes: Please wire reply as soon as possi ble, as grand jury action hinges on your attitude. T
 The strangest feature of the nlys- tery has been the use of the name of MT Carnegie. What reason to offer to explain why Mir Carnegie should be giving notes has been brought out.
 Probably not in the history of the United States has there been anything similar in unusual circumstances and magnitude to the Chadwick borrow ings. It is known by the statement of President Beckwith of the failed Citi- zens' National bank of Oberlan, Ohio, that notes for at least $1. .250.OOO, en- dorsed by Mrs Chadwick are out standing; the securities said to be held by Iri Reynolds of Cleveland figure to the extent of $5,O00,O0O; Herbert Df Newton of Boston has claims for $780, 800, and today it was asserted by those conversant with the case that a number of banks not yet mentioned in public had made large loans to Mrs Chadwick.
