A BURGLAR CAUGHT.
The .Man i Finally After a
8rriP of ItobUerir.
For some tliw Sano I'ughano, pro
prietor of the Columbus house on Lun
tfarf street, hus missed sums of money
that have been left in the cash regis
ter over night. The robber left no
i-lew and the locks of the doors were In
Kood order so It was not known how
any cive gained entrance to the pluce.
The burglars continued at Irregular
Intervels and although I'ugllano had
his suspicions, he did not have enough
evidence Ui-un which t make an ar
rest. The ;'t-ron he knew wus some
ore who was w II acquainted with the
place and so he set secretely to work to
j;vt some evidence.
It was iinally thought advisable that
watchers should be placed In the room
each nlsht and for the last two weeks
two men have passed the nights hidden
in one of the booths. Here they could
nee the entire bar room without tht-m-M-lvts
being' seen.
The nights passed on and the burglar
did not come. Pugllano had began to
think hi ilan had leaked out and was
ti little discouraged. He determined to
keej; the -watch a few nights longer
una vrnterday met ills reward. The
watchers. Salvntmv (iegl.-ottl and Peter
Mussaro. were early yesterday morn
ing aroused by a creaking; noise. They
weiv i.n the lib-it in n nionii nt ami were
ready to rive the iniilult-r u warm re
ception. Suddenly the door opened and
he itjtuie of a man was seen to enter
n ud make his way tuwunl the register
and with a key oieired the door. He
hud .lust iilaceij some money In his
pocket when the men llred their revolver.-!
to alnrm tin- burglar. The fright
was loo mticlu for the robber and he
fell on his kn.-s askirg lor mercy.
While one of the men kepi guard
over the prisoner the other went to
uivue Mr. Pngliaiio. Then something
happened that looks rather queer, for
when l'ugllano returned the lights were
out a:-d the man lett on guard was
-pointing his levolven at the pla-e lie
thought the robber was. He had made
his escape through the cellar, but was
ar once pursuvd. He was overtaken
and brought back to the hotel, where
he was placed In the hands of u police
ma n.
The burclar made his waylnto the
house through the trout cellar window.
Some one from the inside must have
unlocked this and Pugllano Is endeav
oring to get Cooper, the man who was
caught, turn state's evidence.
Cooper claimed he was Innocent, say
ing he was on his way home when tak
en In charge by the policeman. Chief
of Police Me Andrew had no belief In
the story and after a line hard work
succeeded In getting some of the truth
f i oni him. He says he entered through
the cellar door, which was opened y
the bartender, who Invited him in.
Cooper says Colette, the bartender,
took the money. Colette, hoewver, de
nies having had anything to do with
the affair.

THE GREAT BARNUM SHOW.
iKtmease Crowd Hitaess Featare
More Wooaerful Tkao Eter.
Those who looked out of their win
dows at the skies early yesterday morn
ing were somewhat dismayed at the
signs which seemed to presage a stormy
day. Barnurh's (Teat show had spread
its acres of tents on Sunday, and as the
grounds were visited by thousands, na
turally the" desire was universal that
fair weather would prevail on Monday.
As the hours wore on. It became evi
dent that rain would not spoil the par
ade, and as the sun was welcomed and
the air decidedly cool, those who wit
nessed it could not be numbered. And
It met every expectation as all of Bar
r.um und Baileys promises do. Owing
to the presence of low telephone, trol
ley and other wires on one or two of the
principal streets, these thoroughfares
were abandoned for others. But the
glittering parade was viewed by mul
titudes who occupied seats in the many
windows and who lined the sidewalks
on the Public Square. In every re
spect he parade was a success. It was
as entertaining an outdoor attraction
as was ever revealed in this city and
plainly-foretold the excellence of the
great show under the mammoth tents.
The schools were generally closed and
an army f little people saw the par
ade and attended th" afternoon per
formances, not the least inviting ih ngs
being those found in the menagerie,
whose collection of animals of all kinds
hus never been excelled. Natural his
tory never presented a greater number
of Impressive object lessons than were
disclosed In this great so. It would
be a waste of words to detail the many
v.oimcrl'ul anil graceful exhibitions
ylviii in the circus tent. There was
nola single deviation from the mar
velously attractlee programme. Ar
tists of wonderful skill aud daring, men
of mighty muscle and agility, women
of rue beauty and consumate courage,
all united In giving one of the best and
mo.-'t thrilling urciiic exhibitions ever
seen. It is no exaggeration to say that
the Barnum show this season appears
to huve taken on a new lease of life
us It certainly has augjmer.ted its mag
netic features. F.verythlng done Is a
revelation of grace, skill and courage
and there is not an offensive thing pre
senttd anywhere. The bounty of all
nations In the menagerie tent. Includ
ing little men and women whom Stan
ley discovered In the heart of Africa, as
well as seme tiny specimens of the
ancient cliif dwellers, are worth study-lug-.
All iu all the Burnum show Is
woith going far to see. It drew two
Immense audiences here yesterday.

ncil made a brief speech appropriate
for the occasnon. He referred to the
saying of Benjamin Franklin, who sc. id
that the man who emptied his pocktt
