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

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.
