Frederick Thieves Captured Church Union Turned Down
Band OF Negroes Suspected,
And Lively Chase Is Made
Before Leader Is Arrested.

During the past three weeks numerou:
homes in Frederick city have been bur
glarized and many articles of value tax
en-. Conditions were becoming alarming
and many residents were kept from sleep
ing through fear of being robbed. 1t is
said that hardware stores did big bus
mess last Saturday in the sale of locks,
bolts, revolvers and cartridges, which
were purchased for protection.
The person or persons entering the vari-
Gus homes seem to be hungry, the pro-
vision supply being greatly diminished
after their visit. Silverware to the value
of $50 was reported stolen from R. R.
Miller residing on E. Patrick street. AT
the home of Geo. VIM. Smith the home
was ransacked from top to bottom while
the occupants slept. Provisions and a
few dollars in money were taken. The
homes of Lloyd Cutler, Emory Crum,
Soony John, and John Stockman were
also entered.
The city police force, and the sheriff
and deputy sheriffs were all out on the
job of running down the robbers and
finally through clue obtained by consta-
BILE Chester Hauver, the thief or thieves
were located. Plans for their capture
were laid and Monday morning Hauver,
and deputy Carter surprised the leader
of the gang, John Alexander, negro of
Harrisburg, Pa, as he was dressing in
house on All Saints street.
The negro was told to finish dressing
and was left in the room with Carter,
while Hauver went to look for evidence,
which was found in plenty, for watches,
jewelry, money, knives, keys, dresses,
coats, suitcases, and virtually all things
that were stolen were unearthed. Mr..
Hauver was interrupted in his search
when Carter let out a yell, and said, tie
iegro had escaped.
The negro had went through a rear
window, jumped from porch roof and
continued over fences and other obsta-
ces and took to the country. Hauver
and Carter followed and were joined by
IA crowd of people. The negro was at
last headed off by Charles Summers on
John S. Newman's farm several miles
from Frederick. and delivered to Hauver
and Carter who brought him to the city
and placed him in Jail.
Other negroes arrested on suspicion
were AleXander's wife and John Hurd
and his wife.
A hearing was given the prisoners on
Monday evening at police headquarters,
and it is said that nearly thousand peo-
pie gathered in front of the building.
Alexander was held in$l, 500 bail, Hurd
200, the Alexander woman $500 and
the Hurd woman 5000 for the next term

Interesting Play.

The comedy drama entitled "The New
Woman" was given in Town Hall Sat-
urday evening last. The many amusing
incidents have their inception at meet
ing of the ladies at the New Woman's
club room. Men are, according to the
rules of the club, despised, but one after
another the New Women" become in
fatuated with young gentlemen who have
business with the managers of the club
and finally decide that it is awfully lone
ly entirely without man. One after
another marry and the club is dissolved.
The company knew and acted their
respective roles very creditably and from
the liberal applause accorded them, the
audience was well pleased.
Music and Rotations were literally
interspersed through the play. The old
familiar song, "Forgotten', was sung
beautifully by Miss Hazel Wolf.

DiSOi,lcrly Conduct.

Complaint has been made to Mayor
Freeze in regard to the conduct of men
and boys who congregate on the street
corners Sunday evenings. Many times
the street corners are crowded so badly
that it is almost impossible for persons
going to or from church to pass without
leaving the pavements, and loud and vul-
gar language is INDUCED in extensively.
The town constable should see that the
pavement is not blocked. The habit
should and likely will be broken up. Take
warning, boys, the laws provides fine
for such offences.

Maryland Chassis Refuses To
Consider Committees Plan.
Other Church News.

An overture looking to the uniting OF
all the branches of the Presbyterian and
Reformed churches in this country, re.
ceived by Maryland Chassis of the Re-
formed Church from joint committee
which has had the plan of union under
consideration for some years, was laid
upon the table at Monday afternoon
session of the Chassis at the Third Re-
formed church, Paca and Sara togo streets,
Baltimore.
The committees overture called for an
expression of sentiment upon a plan to
consolidate seven church organizations
under the title of the Presbyterian and
Reformed Church of the United States
of America. The organizations proposed
to be combined are the Northern, South
ern, United and Reformed Presbyterian
Churches, the Reformed Church in Amer
lea known as Dutch Reformed, the Re-
formed Church in the United States,
known as the German Reformed, which
includes Maryland Chassis. and the Asso-
ciate Reformed Church.
While the Chassis took no definite action
upon the proposition, it was made evil
dent that sentiment among its members
was strongly against the proposed union.
A resolution recommending that the
Creagerstown congregation, in Frederick
county, which is part of the Thurmont
charge, be disbanded was adopted.
The resignation of Rev. c. M. Smith,
pastor of the Burkittsville charge in
Frederick county, on account of i'll health,
was accepted.
The Chassis decided to hold it's next an
nual meeting at Glade Reformed Church,
Walkersvile, Frederick county, May %,

Monday evening the members of the
'laSSis and a number of local alumni of
'ranklia and Marshall College met at a
supper at the City Club. Rev. G. "A.
