SNEAK THIEVES AGAIN.
Cosset and Round Hill Streets the
 Scene of Operations.

Sneak thieves are again operating in town and during the past few days they have completed a couple of neat little jobs, doing the trick in such a clever manner that they are not like ly to be called to account, just at present, for taking things which did not belong to them. Sunday afternoon it is believed the crooks or crook en- tered the home of family living on the third floor of house on Cosset street and without breaking thing got away with about $30 worth Of jewelry and an equal amount of cash. The door was not injured, nor was the lock harmed, so the detectives believe that the burglar is working with q skeleton key.
 On yesterday afternoon house on Round Hill street was footed in about the same way. The fellows must lave been wise that the family was to be away, for during the hours of 2 and 5 the thieves did their work. On Round Hill street the family that suffered from the thieves lives on the third floor also. Tn this house, al- though there were only $10 in money taken, there was much jewelry, !n- cluding couple of gold watches. Nothing was broken on any of the locks, so the opinion is that the skele- ton key was again at work.
 Although both cases were reported to the detective department. no clue to the burglaries has yet been found.

SUCCESSOR ID LATE GOVERNOR PATT|S0N Governor Harris May Not Disturb Appointments of Late Chief
 Executive REPUBLICANS FOR PLACES Many of the Plans Proposed Will Be Put in Effect By the New
 Governor.

Columbus, O., June 19.--Governor Andrew L. Harris to-day declined to make any formal statement regard ing his policy, but it is maintained at the state house that he is in ac- cord with the late Governor pattison in many of the plans he contemplated regarding state affairs. MT Harris is still at his home in Eaton and will not be here until after the funeral of Governor Pattison.
 There is much speculation among politicians as to what he will do re- garding the few appointments that Governor Pattison has made. The general notion is that he will net disturb them. The many other hp- pointments to be made will, of course, be made from a republican party standpoint. There is said 10 be no doubt about that.
 The body of the late governor will not be brought here to lie in state.
 The state officials met this fore noon to take action on Governor Pat tison's death.

DURANT ON TRIAL
Receives His First Hard Blow Before Judge Shumway To-day at
 New Haven
DELKEscAMP EVIDENCE IS IN

The case of the county bar against Attorney Harold R. Durant was be- gun before Judge Shumway in the su- perior court at 10 o'clock to-dny. MT Durant is charged with unprofession- al conduct. Among the witnesses from Waterbury are Colonel l.. F. Burpee, who made the complaint, and his client Edwin U. Latnrop; Attor- ney John ONeill and hls client, Mir Lathrop's wife, Elizabeth l.. Lathrop; Judge Robert A. Lowe, Attorney U. U. Church and Attorney T. E. Rogers. Attorney Durant has for counsel men of ability and influence, Attorney and Ex-representative George M. Gum of Milford and Attorney and Senator Styles Judson of Stratford. It might be said that MT Gum repre- sents democratic influence in the matter and Mir Judson republican in- fluence. In the last legislature he pre- sided on the Judiciary committee whenever Allen W. Paige, the chair man was absent. The complaint against MT Durant grew out of the Lathrop case
 A transcript of the testimony, giv- en by Mrs Chris Delkescamp, now de- ceased, at the trial of the Lathrop di- vorce case was offered in evidence. This was objected to by MT Judson on the ground that while MT Durant was present when Mrs Delkescamp gave her testimony, he had no re- dress. Mir Williams said that they were going to show that MT Durant conspired to put Mir Lathrop in a compromising position. The court ruled that the evidence could be ad- mitted and the first hard blow was given to the defense. Stenographer Thomas F. Walsh testified to making report of the testimony of the Lathrop trial and this testimony was then admitted although objected to by Mir Judson. The court at this point took recess.

Silver Service Dug Up Near Naples,
 in Italy.

Chicago. June 19.-Mrs Chauncey J. Blair has presented to the Field Columbian museum set of early Roman silver service dug up recently near Naples and believed to be at least nineteen centuries old. The an- tiquities, which number twenty indi- vidual pieces. are the only silver set of the date in America and are val ued at fabulous sum.
 Recent excavations early last spring at the ancient city of Tivoli, now known as Tibur. revealed among other important discoveries this ser vice, which probably Is intact with the exception of one small spoon.
 Mrs Blair, who was in Italy at the time. secured the entire service. and. on account of its great importance historically. decided to give 1t to the Field museum.
 The silver. which arrived yesterday from Italy. consists of the following pieces: One plate fifteen inches in diameter. decorated on the edge; three plates, eight inches in diameter, three small round dishes, one large cup, decorated around the top and bottom; one small, shell shaped scoop; six large spoons. and five small spoons.
