NO EFFORT TO LOOT It
Insurgents Have Not Tried to
Plumber the Kremiin.
FILLED WITH TREASURES
Priceless Relics Deposited in the
Churches.
GRAND PALACE OF THE GLARS
Rooms Crowded With Costly Thrones
Many Cases Full of Crowns
Valuable Gems Stolen.
GRAND PALACE OF THE GLARS
BY WILLIAM T. CURTIS.

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
1t is a remarkable fact that the mob of
insurgents in Moscow have made no at
tempt to plumber public property, although
within the walls of the kremlin is perhaps
the most valuable collection of jewels and
articles of silver and gold that can be found
assembled anywhere in all the world. In
the French revolution and during the COM
mune the great palaces of Paris were loot
ed of all their treasures and articles of fur
niture. china, silver, bronze and marble and
valuable paintings of all sizes and descrip-
tons that were stolen from the Tuilleries
may still be purchased in the curio shops.
The imperial palace, the treasury and the
churches within the KreInlin walls, are
much more tempting than the Tuileries, but
they have not been touched, and so far as
we know from the telegraph dispatches,
they have not even been threatened, al
though hunger and thirst, such as have
been suffered by the poor people of Moscow,
naturally sharpen the appetite for loot.
The Kremlin Is the Russian term for cita-
del There is Kremlin In nearly every an
cent Russian city. The kremlin at Mos
cow occupies the summit of a hill and Is
surrounded by ancient and picturesque
wall. Within the Enclosure Is the legal
headquarters of the Russian government.
Moscow Is both the political and the re-
ligious capital of the empire, although since
the time of Peter the Great St Petersburg
has been the seat OF government, and was
founded by him for that purpose. The PAL
ace of the car is surrounded by residences
for his ministers, and the garrison barracks
for the imperial guard. Near by is the pom
tifcal residence of the patriarch, the head
of the Greek Church, and several rnonas-
teries for the use of his monkish assistants
and other ecelesiastfcs. There are four or
five splendid churches and all of them have
special purpose and are associated with
historical events. Cars are baptized in the
Church of Michael the Archangel. and go to
confession after they have reached proper
age; they are crowned in the Church of the
Assumption. and are married in the Church
of the Annunciation
Sacred Relics.
These three churches are the most sacred
in Russia, and contain many precious
relics of the Savior. the Holy Virgin, the

the public catalogue of Mrs. Gardeners art

this picture came from the Casa Loschi,

jofity of ~ in Jersey City for the Pagan

cede that the followers of the Fagap-

the Dickinsonites will come mighty csose

out in 1861 he enlisted in the Twenty
first New Jersey Infantry, after having
worked on the ADV ertiser and Gazette.
Returning from teh seat of war he ac-
cepted the forenanship of the Jersey

before he reaches the jail.
Mrs. Mary G. Quaekenboss, the New

Detective Sergeants Lee,
Larkins and Peabody
Make Important Arrests
PRISONERS ALL COLORED
THEY WORKED THE DINNER
HOUR GAME AND WE'RE RE-
SPoNsEBLE FOR SOME OF THE
MOST DARING RoBBERIEs ON
RECORD

Late last night Detective Sergeants
Lee and Larkins, assisted by Detective
Sergeant Frank Peabody. of New York,
arrested George Armstead. alias Lola
George, age 80, q we.i-known burglar;
VIM L, Vincent. alias Los Vincent; John
Wilson and Melerisa Jones, alias .Meleri-
sa Green.
All of these people are colored and con-
sidered by the police to be the most ex-
pert and daring burglars in this country.
This accounts for their success. They
always work during dinner hour in the
early evening while the family and
guests are in the lower part of the
house
Vincent is only home from prison a
few months. after doing FIVE years the
last term. Since coming home he has
been picked up two or three times by
New York detectives. He had TO be dis
charged, however, as they could prove
nothing against him. Vincent was con-
neeted with the robbery of Mr.. Rookie
felIer's house a few years ago, in which
a large amount of diamonds and jewelry
was taken.
Wilson. who is 45 years old, got ten
years for the famous Barnes robbery on
Fifth avenue, some years ago.
Melerisa Jones. arrested by Captain
Cody, lives in fine style at No. III West
134th street. Her house is elegantly
furnished.
George Armstead, alias Lola George,
is the thief who was with Sandy Jones,
or Williams, the night they entered the
residence Of E. f. G. Young. 1t was he
who made his escape. He is one of the
gang of colored burglars, but at present
the police haven't got his record.
The police took from Mrs. Jones's
house a quantity Of Benedict silverwai~
and other silver for which they expect
TO get owners for. An effort was made
in the police court this morning to have
Armstead committed to await extradi-
ton, so he may be brought over here for
trial.

new TRUSTEES ARRESTED
THEY ARE ACCUSED OF PER-
JURY IN OBTAINING AN IN
JUNCTION FROM THE COURT
OF CHANCERY ON FALSE REP
RESERVATION.

The fight in the Russian Greek church
between the faction back of the present
priest, and the faction opposed to him is
growing more and more bitter. 1t result
ed Saturday night in the arrest of Samuel
Barna, of No. 80 Morris street; Thorn
as Cislak, of No. 3S11a Greene street, and
Nicholas AIidaliski, of No. SO Morris
street. They are the new trustees who
stand by the present priest. They are
accused of perjury in that they made atfi-
davits to the effect that the church was
not open to the congregation on Sunday
morning at eight o'clock week from
yesterday. The accused men had secured
an injunction from the Court of Cham
Gerry restraining the old board from
opening up the church and taking up the
Russian Christmas collection, which
amounted to $3.50, under their auspices.
The treasurer of the new Board of Trus-
tees was escorted to his home by police
men. Under the order of the Court of
Chancery the locks of the doors of the
church were changed on Saturday night
of the week before last and the accused
men claim they did not lock out the con-
gregation from the eight o'clock mass.
The case came up before Police JUS
tice Higgins in the First Criminal Court
this morning, but was laid over for one
week.

friends procured hand car and beat it
along the tracks for the scene of the alb

citing incident with the keeper of draw
i bridge, but they won out and returned to
Trenton with the absent member, all of
which was graphically described by Mr.
