He left an aunt with whom he was stopping in Pas saic, NJ J., and came here to visit his uncle, Charles Bernstein of 39 Clark street. He had not been there long when he made off with gold watch and bicycle, the property of MT Bernstein. Rush has been under cover the past few days, but to-day Mir Bernstein caught him riding the wheel, so he went after him, cap tured him and brought him to the station.

He was locked up and will be tried in all probability tomorrow morning.
