One of the boldest burglaries of the
season occurred yesterday afternoon
when Mike Hayes, whose address is
unknown, entered the home of Miss
Katie Murphy, s7O3 Buffalo avenue, and
stole a small watch and but for the
fact that Miss Murphy caught him in
the act he would probably have, ma de
la still larger haul, as it was she heard
the man prowling in the rear of her
home and running inthe room discov-
lered the man, she ran out through
the front door screaming for help.
Oficers Tracy and Lynch were de-
tailed on the case and succeeded in
Handing their man who was about to
enter a saloon on Buffalo avenue
Hayes was taken to the station where
ne was booked upon charge of burg
larry.
He refused to admit that he was in
the Murphy home but as the watch
was found in one of his pockets and
Miss Murphy positively Identifies him
there is little chance but what he is
the right man.
Hayes will be given a hearing this
morning before Municipal Judge Tor
rison.

Non Union Workmen Accuse Their
Enemies of Malicious Deed in
Night Time.
NIGHT WATCHMAN IN DANGER

Hegevisch and the East Side were
reused from their sleep last night by
the reyerberating sound of an explO-
sion which as, was found later, was
due TO dynamite having been touched
sington & Eastern railroad bridge over
the Calumet river at One hundred and
Thirty-third street.
The cement and iron structure,
which was only half completed, is
of cement and large pieces of bent
iron lying about in great confusion.
Non-Union Men Employed.
The bridge was being erected for
the Kensington & Eastern railroad by
the American Bridge company, which
is said to have employed non-union
men. The dastardly work of seeting
off dynamite under the structure Is
thought to have been the work of some
one unfriendly toward non-union men.
No other good cause can be given why
the structure should have been de.
stroyed.
Two night watchmen who were in
little shanties close to the bridge were
hurled from their hunks. while their
sheds fell together.
The men themselves landed several
feet away from their sleeping places,
but fortunately they were uninjured
with the exception of a bad scare and
a few scratches.
One of the men, Adolph Bernhard
lives at 359 Moss avenue. in Pullman.
The other, Thomas O'Connor, lives at
Goa East Seventy second street.
Both men agree that they saw moth
ing suspicious. At IL o'clock they
made the rounds and found everything
quiet They retired to their hunks for
nap when at 80 this morning they
were hurled bodily from their beds.

When they got their wits together

WANT TO HELP
WORK|NCMEN
Gary Banks Seek to Relieve
Them of Cashing Their
Pay Checks.

The members of the Merchants asso-
citation of Gary. met last night and took
up the matter of providing a means for
the workingmen to cash their checks in
the banks on pay day. thereby relieving
them of the responsibility of cashing
checks.
E. c. Simpson, cashier of the First
National Bank and ]. w. Hay, cashier
of the Gary State Bank, appeared be-
fore the members Of the association
and listened to their proposition to
have the banks kept open on the even
ing on pay day.
The pay days occur on the 10th and
oath of each month and on the evening
of these days it was suggested that if
the banks would keep open from $50
to 1880 p. M, it would give the work
ingmen a chance to get their money.
Would Facilitate Matters.
They would then be in a position to
do their trading at the various stores
in town with greater facility and it is
figured that there would be more money
saved if the workingman could deposit
part of his earnings as soon as he got
them.
The matter will be taken up by the
OAiASidlo u tile pdHAS III 1d'y anu IL l.
probable that some arrangement of this
kind will be made. 1t would be an adj
vantage all around in the opinion of the
merchants and would be a great helr
to those who deal with the working
men.
The matter of labor day celebration
was taken up and the executive com
mittee of the association was author
lied to confer with the represen ta tives
of the labor unions with the idea of de-
termining what the merchants can dc
to make the celebration a success.

CUSTOM HOUSE
IS ESTABLISHED
Ore Boat E. Fl. Rogers Sc
cures Clearance Papers
From Collector of Port.

A United States custom house has
been established in Gary, the first ship
to secure the clearance papers, being
the largest capacity on the Great Lakes
The local station is included in the
Chicago district which extends from
Waukegan to Michigan City. George
K. Scott of the Gary Tribune, has been
appointed the deputy collector for this
office
Sooner Than Expected.
Through the influence of Mr.. Scott
and Homer H. Carr, who have long
been connected with the Marine News
they were enable to secure the local
branch much sooner than is expected.
Nominally the purpose of the office is
to collect duty on export COOS leaving
the harbor, but in the case Of the local
branch where the ships entering the
harbor, are only those carrying ore
the only duty of the local official will
be to give the boats their clearance
papers.
Boats Come In Each Day.
In short time large flag will be
unfurled over the office of the deputy
collector for the purpose of helping the
boat captains to find the location. The
first ship to get the clearance papers
has a capacity of over 1000 tons
Boats are now entering the harbor
nearly every day and the ore is COM
ing in as fast as it can be handled.
The appointment was made by chief
collector for this district, John c.
Ames.

prospecting from the time of its incep-
ton, but the growth and it's activity
in the past few months has been I'M
paraneled 1t is thought that their
great success with the opening of the
Gary harbor had much to do with the
desire for the business men of the
region to become members.
PLENTY OF MONEY LEFT.
The remarkable fact about the cele-
bration is that after all of bills for
the advertising of the fete has been
paid for, the club will still have in their
treasury nearly $1,000, which shows a
remarkable healthy financial condition.
There was 1874 in the treasury before
the celebration and at that time so
many desired to join that the expenses
will be more than paid for. This re-
port opened the eyes of the members,
who did not realize themselves how
their financial condition stood.
Homer j. Carr chairman of the en-
tertainment committee. made the re-
port for his committee on the celebra-
ton, after which a vote of thanks was
offered to Mr.. Carr and President Cap
tain Norton for the efforts to make
the event a success.
THANKS HAMMOND MEN.
A vote of thanks was also given to
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad for the use of their coaches
and to the c., L. S. & E. for transport
ing them to their destination; also to
A NJ. Turner and John E. Fitzgerald
of Hammond for their machines in

the senator has refrained from an

BUTLER PUTS UP
A GOOD SHOW

The new show of the Butler
theater scored great hit last night,
the moving picture Going to Swift
zerland" being the great feature of
the evening. This gives a sight of
some of the most beautiful scenery
ever witnessed from a moving train,
and is especially fine. All the pic
lures, in fact, were good. The illus
trated songs by William Walker
made another hit. Mr.. Walker is
proving quite an attraction to the
Butler.
On Monday night the greatest at
traction that has yet been presented
at the theater will be put on. II
consists of film of the departure OF
Bob Evans fleet from the Hampton
Roads on the cruise which is now be-
ing finished in the Pacific.
