thick carpet had been torn up, and,
with few rugs, was heaped all round
the safe, evidently with a view Of dead
ening the sound Of the nitro-glycerine
when exploded in the lock.
Constable Fallowes quickly summon
Cd assistance, but though everybody
chiefly concerned, including Vavistock's
manager, was quickly on the scene,
there was little any one could do to
trace no less than 10000 worth of Jew
Rlry that had been skilfully distracted.

URING the small hours of yester-
day morning a startling discovery

n y
JOI day morning a startling discovery
was made Oh the premises Of Va
vistOck & Co., the well-known diamond
merchants of Regent street. Not only
was a fashionable safe, seemingly bur-
giar-proof, entirely rified Of it's valuable
contents, but the smart gang perpetrat-
ing the outrage disappeared without
leaving the smallest vestige behind as
to their identity.
''The outrage was discovered shortly
after a. n. by Constable Fallowes,
who, finding one or two suspicious
marks on the rear entrance Of MesSrs.
Vavistock, at once surmised something
was amiss. Giving the door a sudden
push the officer found it unlocked, and,
following the light shed by the lantern,
came to the conclusion that determin-
ed raid had been successfully made up
on the premises. The passage he was
in led directly to the counting house,
the door Of which stood ominously open.
At the far end was the safe, an impos-
ing and seemingly impregnabIe struc-
ture, built by well-known firm. The
massive steel door was ajar, and one
glance at the open drawers within con-
WINGED FalloWes that all the contents
had been ruthlessly ransacked.
"a dozen big books lay haphazard on
the floor, intermingled with sheaves of
letters and documents of value only to

scriptive Form or Record. pigeonholed
Both of March, 1870, in the Habitual
Criminal Registry:
Prisoner was yesterday sentenced
at the Central Criminal Court to five
years penal servitude for burglary at
Messrs. Vavistock's of Regent street,
and stealing therefrom 100000 worth
of jewelry; and also a further SEN
tence Of two years for a murderous as
sault on Inspector How, from which
attack this officer has only just recov-
cred.
prisoners record was a very bad
one; full particulars to be found over
leaf.
"He has chiefly won notoriety by his
association with the American coterie
Of nitro-glycerine afe-breakers, of
which James Mason, now at Portland
(see File No. BB2OO) was the leading
spirit.
1.-THE prisoners method was to OBJ
tain a situation as valet amongst high
class families, and with these good adj
dresses to cloak his movements insti-
tuted many plan Of campaign Of far
reaching magnitude Re the
Vavistock affair, he was commissioned
by the Duchess Of Glasshouse to take
her Grace's pearl necklace for repair
20 that firm, and at his own request
vas allowed to place the ornament
with his own hands directly into the
safe. This, Of course, gave him every
opportunity Of studying a good many
points and landmarks, Of which he
subsequently, with his confederates,
took full advantage"
REMARKS
A. All the stolen property was recov-
cred in a valise prisoner carried when
he was arrested.
3. The Duchess Of Glasshouse's
pearl necklace was, after all, only an
imitation Of the original, which we
lave evidence was pawned to cover
losses her Grace sustained through
gambling debts prior to the burglary.
@. Finger-prints Of enormous value
throughout the case. Prisoners finger
markings found everywhere, and
proved by the Finger-print Department
to be identical with many others found
under various aliases in the files

with a repertoire including practically
every opera that was ever written. 4
number of the more popular Wagner
ian pieces, such as LOhengrin, Tam

four weeks, while 80 Of the worlds
most famous pianists, and practically
all the great Yiolinists OF Europe, aD,
peared there during the concert period.
Berlin has 40 musical schools. ana
the American pupils in these institu-
lions outnumber every other national

She Thought 1t Was the Elevator.
Shoppers who happened to be near
the silk department in one Of the large
department stores on one Of the busy
bargain days were highly entertained
by the behavior Of one Of the visitors
to the establishment. After making
some purchases she walked to the little
room in which evening silks are shown,
established herself on the settee and
waited. For awhile she possessed her
soul IN patience,pthen she arose and
stood In the doorway. Reckoning to
the nearest clerk, she said tartly. HAS
your elevator boy been granted a per
manent leave of absence? Is this ele-
vator never going up?"
This doesn't happen to be the ele-
vator, ma'am," the clerk answered.
This Is only the room In which we
show our evening fabrics-we turn on
the lights to get the effect Of gas light
on the colors, you know. The elevator
is across the aisle, ma'am."

BrutaIIy Assaulted.

Last Monday evening at Gar
rison, Contractor Dolan Was as
saulted in most brutal manner
and his watch and a small sum OF
money was taken from the per-
son. Dolan was pounded about
tie head and face and left un-
conscious in an alley where he was
found. His face resembles a piece
of raw beefsleak.
Collins and Murphy were ar
rested charged with the assault and
holdup. The prisoners were
brought to Washburn Tuesday by
Marshall Rink and placed in the
county jail. At the preliminary
hearing, which was set for Thurs
day before Judge Ranard, con-
tinuance was granted until next
tuesday In order 10 secure sollle
important witnesses.
Collins and Murphy, charged
with the alleged assault have been
in trouble before. The former
was arrested year ago in Under
wood for engaging in prize fight
ing, but escaped conviction. The
latter is we'll known character,
and has often been in trouble.
If these men are guilty they
should.be given good stiff term
in the penitentiary. The penalty
for highway robbery in this state
is from one year to life in the pen
itentiary.
