told that the captain OF this vessel

Tripolitan made a thrust with his

Decatur seized the weapon, wrenched

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The Oil Review Office was sold

forgiveness. We never inten-

we did it was an error of the
head and not the heart. 1t has

A THEFT OF VALUABLE RUGS
A Turk Claims that $25o,ooo Worth Of
Goods Which He Brought to New
York Disappeared.

New York, April 6.-Charged with
the larceny of two Oriental rugs,
valued respectively at $4,000 and
$4,000, Frederick Comp, of Rutherford,
N. j., formerly bookkeeper for the
firm of Sajun & Telehram, which went
into bankruptcy on Saturday, was ar
rested Wednesday and held in $4,000
bail.
The arrest was made at the instance
of Hadii Hassanof, a dealer who said
that he brought $250,000 worth of
rugs to this country and placed them
in storage with Sajun & Telehram
some months ago, since which time he
had been unable to get any track of
the goods until yesterday, when he
found these rugs in a brokers' office,
where, he said, they had been placed
on exhibition by Comp. He also said
he had been unable to find any mem
ber of the firm since the bankruptcy
proceedings were instituted.
