Nubs of News. An investigation made yesteiday Into tho circumstances find details of the ilnf- committed at St. .Mary's conent on River street, Thuisduy, proved con clusively that there Is an organized gang of burglars operating In this city. Rev. Peter Christ, pastor ot St. Mary's cliurcb congregation, was out of the city Thursday and upon bis arrival home, was Into! meet by bis housekeep er of the theft. Yesterday morning be lslled tlie convent, and there learned tiillv or the robbery. Vv lion the oung man who ("minllted the theft was met nt tin door by a sister, lie stated to her that Father Christ, b'.-foie leaving the city, Thuisday, called at the ol'lce of the Scranton Has and Water 1 ompany on W yomlng iivenue, and requested that n man b sent over to liipe( I the gas and wrier pipes nt the leetory, convent, church and paiochial school. The as tute fellow In his Introductory i"iaaiks, furthi' said that the call of Father Christ at the company's ollicc was 1111 necessiny, as he was assigned Unit dav, to make the inspections of til houses In that nelghhothood containing water mid gas pp"s. Fiuin the fact that Father ('hilst invariably attend, to sin h matter the rellovv was so freely admitted and giv en such freedom. The fail that the sisteis weie Infoimed in tlie nu. ruing that the pastor was to be away that day, and the man lop-atlng that fact, removed any siirpI"lon ol the authen ticity of his statements. While the man was In the convent an pffcut was made to nib the church bv another fel low, but his attempt was fiustrated bv the presence of thn e sisters, I'm fosor Ackcrman and the Miami chll dien who were In the ehuivb ich'urs ing the programme for the Christmas exercises at the school. At the time win 11 the mer eliten-d tlie church quietly Riofessor Ac k"' 111.111 was talking in a low maimer to the children, l.'pou gaining eiilraite.' to the edifice, and seeing U10M' theie, the stranger made an etfoit tu gee away, but was nr routed bv one of tlie nuns who asked him the purpose of his visit. He replied saving he came there to pray, but be did not wish to Intrude. Tb" lstor lvquTled him tu lemalu. The fellow stayed a few mo ments, and then left, but before going asked If Father cbiKt would be home that night. He was referied to th" rectory for tin answer, and was not sren again. It has been leaimd that two young men were In the vidnlt of Hie convi nt of the Sacred Heart congregation yes terday, and made imiulibs of various residents theteabouts as to whether gas is used In that ccrnvent. Last night, the sevnal people engaged in arranging the booths In the basement hall of St. John's church on Fig street, for the congregation's fair, saw two men lurking about the chinch. Anoth er suspicious incident was th" ap proach of two fellows to "fJoff." tin voting man at Hotel Rest. eatl.v Thurs day morning, who told him they weie sent at the lequet of James Vest, the pioprlelor, to Im-pecl tho pipes throughout the building. Mr. Hc-t, about an hour previous, went out chiv ing. It occutivil to Goff that h" bad better call Andrew Best, who was up. stalls in lied. Andrew, upon seeing the fellows, told them the pipes wore all right and they bad bettor pioeeed further. Father Christ has notified all of tin convents in this part of tlie Mate to be on Hie look out lor the men up thev are evidently making 11 specialty of robbing such places. CHAFTF.R OF ACCIDENTS.
