HOUSE THIEVES.
The City Infested A Burglar Caught.
In addition to the cases of attempted bur
glary mentioned in yesterday's Republican,
others have been reported to the police. Toe
thieves teem to be all of one class, and effect
entrances by cutting slats of blinds or in some
similar way. None of them work on a large
scale, but appear to be satisfied with small
plunder. The mot serious case known is the
robbery of the B C cigar store, 930 F street,
owned by F. V. Barker. This OMurred some
time Saturday night. The large plate glass
was broken, and the show window stripped of
cigars, tobacco, pipes, etc, the loss being esti
mated altogether at $700.
A thief entered the house ofMr.T.M. Shep
herd, on Ninth street, between M and N streets,
early yesterday morning, by prying a shutter
from a back window. He invaded Mr. Shep
herd's chamber, whereupon that gentleman,
armed with a pistol, chased htm out of the
house and into the street, but did not overtake
him.
CAUGHT.
About 3.30 o'clock yesterday morning the
dwelling-house of Charles E. Rice was entered
by a thief, who entered by a back window.
The thief entered a room in which Mr.
Charles P. Pushaw was sleeping. That gen
tleman woke up and became aware that there
was some one in the room. He awoke his
brother, and they both jumped out of bed.
The thief then quickly left the room. The
two gentleman followed htm to a third-story
back room, when the thief jumped from a
window to a back building, and from there
clambered to a fence and cot away. An alarm
was given, which brought the police about
the premises, and Officer O'Hare captured a
coiorea man named iranir uoruon, just as no
was emerging from an alley adjacent to the
premises. The prints of a man's bare feet
were discovered in the soft earth in the yard
of the house, and the officer made the prisoner
take off his shoe, and his foot was found to fit
exactly in the prints. The rear window ap
peared to have been opened by a wire so bent
as to be capable of drawing the bolt.
The yard fence was surmounted by a step
ladder, which the thief had borrowed for the
occasion from a nelshborinsr yard. Gordon
was brought into the Police Court yesterday
morning, and when the above facts were
elicited the case was sent to the grand jury
and the prisoner was committed in default of
t2,000 bail.

ELECTION HEWS.

Every State In the Union, every city, town
and bamlet wlU be in a fever heat to day.
The poor District alone will remain quiet
until nightfall draws on and the laconic dis
patches begin to be posted up in front of the

several places in the city for the reception and
announcement of news.

of the National Rzr-CBLicAX by means of a

some club-rooms, 4CC-485 Pennsylvania ave
nue. A private wire was stretched to the
rooms to-day, and a special operator will re
ceive the returns. The club is unanimously
for having good times and easy times, and to
have the news flashed right into their parlors
will be quite an improvement to the popular
style of crpwdlpg Indiscriminately around a
telegraph bulletin, where a man cannot pick
ais company.
Manager Rogers has perfected arrangements
so that the returns as they are received will be
announced from the stage at the Comique.
In addition to these places the latest news

liveliest in the United States.
Election returns will also be received at
Geo. W. Driver's, corner or Four-and-a half

"night by a calcium light.
M.Geary, or the Coliseum billiard-room,
corner or Sixth and C streets, with his usual
enterprise, has determined to give his patrons
the latest returns from New York from a pri
vate source, and any one wishing to know the
result in that city accurately will'do well to
pay him a visit this evening.

TheEqcivablxAsscbaxce Coxfaxt.)
ICO Broadway, Niw York, Nov. , 1579.
K. ileS. Tunnney, WaMngton, J). V.s
Dear Sib: Tours of the 30th ultimo, asking
about the effect or the recent decision of the
Supreme Court or the United States upon us,
has been received. I presume you refer to the
decision regarding the policies of Southerners
lapsed by reason of the war.
I am happy to say that it has no effect upon
us whatever, as immediately after the war,
without waiting for lawsuits, we settled equl
tablywlth all those who held policies in our
company.
Yours truly; J. W. Alexajtdeb,
. Vice President.

BEV. URIEL GRAVES.
The Charges Against Him Sot Tried Yet.
Since the adjournment of the Lutheran
Synod, which met in this city a month ago,
the counsel for and against Rev. Uriel Graves,
of Baltimore, have been in correspondence
with each other In regard to selecting a com
mittee to try the charges against that gentle
men. It will be remembered that the Synod
gave Mr. Graves a partial trial on the charges
or unclerical conduct, schism and contumacy,
and then, finding that they had astumed an
enormous task, left It to a committee of nine",
to be selected by the counsel for either side.
The countel have as yet failed to agree upon
any nine men. The prosecution complain that
the counsel for the defense have made unne
cessary objection to names suggested by. them
for the committee.
There is also a disagreement upon the place
of holding tho trial, the defense objecting to
holding it in Baltimore. The counsel for the
prosecution have addressed a letter to the coun
sel for the defense, setting forth their final
.declfion In the matter or selecting the commit
teemen. The Baltimore Sun says: "Should the coun
sel for the defense decline to agree to the pn
positions offered In the letter, it is believed
that the committee will go by default, and the
trial on the charges already preferred will be
postponed to the next annual session or the
Synod. Should this be the case, it is under
stood that the counsel for the prosecution will
btlng up new charges, based upon what they

Almost an Accident
About 6 o'clock last evening a couple of
colored people attempted to cross Fifth street
just as one of the F-street cars was turning
Into it from D street. The driver called to
them to take care, but they were too intent
on their conversation to hear his voice or
notice, the ' approach of the car. Before tho
break could bo applied the horse struck the
man on his shoulder, spinning him around
and he finally felluponthoback of his head Just
within the rail. A powerful application or the.
break stopped the car suddenly, pitching the
passengers forward, and In bare time to save
the man's neck, which was already under the
platform and In close proximity to the wheel.
The man was drawn out without having been
Injured, but having suffered a terrible Fright.
Had the occurrence taken place ou a straight
track, with the rails wet as they were, the
man must have been killed, for without the
friction of the curve the car could not have
been stopped in time. The driver was not to
blame, as he did not anticipate that the people
would step directly into so dangerous a posi
tion. Indisputable.
The greatest remedy of modern times, for
the immediate allcvatlon of pain and positive
quick cure, Is without doubt, Benson's ca peine
porous plasters. The public appreciates arti
cles of true merit. Thousands of physi
cians and druggists speak In glowing terms of
their great curative properties, who know
them tobe superior to any other known medicine,
and who unhesitatingly recommend them from
honest motives. They cure chronlo and local
diseases which other porous plasters simply re
lieve. Rheumatism, neuralgia, severe and
continuous aches and pains, pleurisy, lumbago,
sciatica, and all diseases in which porous
plasters have been valued, are by Benson's
capcine porous plaster instantly relieved and
quickly cured. Their reputation is without a
parallel in the history or true medicine; thelr
action is more powerful than electricity, and
yet they are purely vegetable and contain no
mineral or metallic poisons Try -them and
you will not be deceived. Price 25 cents.
Fourth Ward Democrats.
A meeting was called last night of the Dem
ocrats of the Fourth ward, at St. Joseph's
hall, corner of Fifth and H streets northwest.
The call was responded to by some or the
faithful, but their spirits lagged and their
faith was weak, as they were not fully assured
that their ticket would carry off the laurels In
the Presidential contest. An effort was made
to raise the necessary funds to procure the
ball for the occasion, but the response fell
short and no meeting was held. Mr. Joseph
Shilling, unwilling to let an opportunity go by
which could be used to strengthen the cause
or Tildenlsm, mounted a porch near by and
squared hlmseli for a speech. His remarks
were short and probably his speech had Its
effect, but it was not made visible to any of
the bystanders. Several oi the company met
in a neighboring beer saloon after the exer
cises on the corner, where consolation was
had in raising spirits which coon went down.
Wcrthy of Remembrance.
Why will you suffer violent pain, or be
made uncomfortable, distressed in mind or
body, when you can be Instantly relieved and
quickly cured 'by Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters. The ordinary porous plaster Is an
article or merit, yet its action is too slow, re
quiring days and weeks or continuous wear to
effect a cure, Benson's Capcine Porous Plas
ter, being a great Improvement over them, re
lieves you Instantly, and cures you qnlckcr
than any known plaster, liniment or com
pound. Their action is more powerful than
electricity, and more certain. They are purely
Tegetable, contain no mineral or metallic
ppltons. Their composition and properties are
founded upon true medical skill, and are In
no sense a patent medicine. They are in
dorsed by thousands of physicians and drug
gists, of unimpeachable reputation, as being
an article of genuine merit and worthy uf pub
lic confidence. Try them and be convinced.

Araany-story Is told of the second son of the
Prince of Wales, Prince George Frederick. He Is
a nerry scamp, fond of tricks, and no more awed
by the majesty of his lorerelgn than most lads are
by their grandmother. He was even lets amena
ble to discipline a few years ago than he Is now,
and on one occasionwhen staying with the Queen
at the Cattfe, played her a pretty prank. She
had a solemn dinner, at which a grand duke, Mr.
Gladstone and Dean Stanley assisted. At dessert
the children were -sent for. When they came In
George" was rlotons. Grandmamma reproved
him. He went on heedlessly. Grandmamma was
again obliged to Interfere. Atlasttheyonngrter
becamo very obstreperous, and ha had to be sent
under the tabla, from whence he was not to
emerge nnttl ha had confessed his stn and prom
Iied amendment. He was very qnlet to every
body's surprise, but,when challenged, assured his
Imperturbable grandmamma that he was not yet
quite good, but would bo soon. At last he was
satisfied with his own condition, and emerged as
naked as when he was born. He thought that he
could not do better than his first parents, anil re
tnrned.therefore, to a state of Paradisaical Inno

that we have had put up expressly for our retail
trade. It ts guaranteed tons to be manufactured
from selectea foreign and domestic leaf. It ha no

contains a preponderance of Cuban tobacco. la
Introducing this brand our object 1 to rurnlsa a
elgarat J centa-flve for a centsof delicate flavor
good enough to puff at home. Believing that no
member or the family circle would object to the

their evening smoke at home, without offenw-to'
others. On trial we think you will agree with ua.
