that in arranging for the celebration
the people should not overlook the
divine guidance in the two great
events to be commemorated, one of
which opened up our State to modern
civilization and led to the fourding of
the city of New York, and the other
of which laid the foundation for the
vast commerce upon which the pros
perity of the city and State sc largely
depends. 1t has therefore set apart
the day for religious observances.

From the tunnel, run from a
trench along pipes of the heating
plant under the Capitol saloon from
which the building is supplied with
heat. the thief bored augar holes
through the floor of the Clark &
Lindskog establishment, letting him
self under the show window floor.
which he treated in like manner to
the extent of taking out sufficient
piece of the fioor and velvet cover
ing to let his hand through.
From the fact that the operator
was at no time In sight of the public
and that the loss of the iewelry
from the window was not discovered
until some minutes after II had been
taken. when in passing the front of
his place Mr.. Lindskog noticed that
the window was barren. the officers

they had been unable to get any
tangible clew npon which to base
their steps.

to any part of the robbery so far
as known. although 1t Is considered
certain that the thief had an ac-
complice standing watch somewhere
In the street TO give him warning
in the event of discovery of his
work. MIR. Jassoy Immediately after
the robbery was learned of notified
the officers that he had seen hand
moving In the show window at about
5:15. He thought at the moment
that 1t was a shadow reflected by
the glass, but noticed that the hand
was small and that at the wrist was
blue shirt sleeve. This slight clue
and the presence i'm the tunnel of g
small stove shovel and a No. shorl
handled shovel are the only clues
which the officers have to work on.
