The members of the Building Trades councils of this city and vicinity last night conducted their llrst annual ball nt MuMo hnll, which had been artistic ally decorated for the occasion. Tho council comprises in Its membership all tho members of tho local unions among workmen employed In tho various branches of building, and It almost goes without saying that the attend ance last evening was unusually laige. The dances numbered twenty-four, with a thirty-minute intermission at mid night. The programme was well se lected and the dances were dedicated to some well-known ofllcer either In the council or the many unions to some particular event, as "Our First An nual" and "Our Next," and to each union In the union. A largo orchestra furnished the music for tho dances, Mrs. Agnes Malott act ing as accompanist. Hefreshments were served throughout the course of tho evening. The committee, to whom much credit Is duo for the success of tho council's debut In the whlil of "An nuals," was composed of the following gentlemen: General manager, J. J. Coollcan; master of ceremonies, V. F. Hatton; assistant, Thomas O'Malleyj lloor man' .era, M. S. Staff, P. Burns, Orvin t .nips, o. Lloyd, F. C. Ouesf and Edward Kellj prompter, Geo.ge K:in. HIS SECOND OFFENSE. Frank Gehrons Again Charged with Swindling. Frank Gehrens, of Green Ridge, who seems to have a propensity for getting Into trouble, was brought before Alder man Millar esterday afternoon on In formation furnished by Clark & Scott, tobacconists. The charge preferred was that of swindling. It developed at the hearing that young Gohrens had gona to Clark & Bcctt's, and, representing himself as an employe of P. II. Durkln, tho proprietor of tho Grand Central hotel, obtained a quantity of tobacco valued at IS.43, having the same charged to Durkln. This hapened sev eral days ago, and, when a bill for the goods was presented, the misrepresen tation was discovered. Detective Sllverburg made the arrest and Aldeunan Millar held Gehrens in ball for his appearance at court. Last fall, young Gehrens was nrrested upon a similar charge, preferred by several well-known ilrms of tho city, but his mother begged so hard for his release that no prosecutions followed. His modus operandi was similar In every Instance, that of claiming to bo In some one's employ and obtaining goods on their credit. i Lewis A.

Thief Who Entered Boies' Residonco Will Probably Be Captured. No arrests as yet have been made of tho person or persons supposed to bo concerned In tho Holes theft. Colonel Holes feels that a sjufllelent clue wns loft b the man Who enteied lite house on Thursday evening to make It dlfll cult for the thief to escape fiom the city. Among tho attlelcs stolen was n watch given to Miss Boles by her Brandmother, Mrs. Thomas Dickson, nml pilzed greatly not alone for It3 value, which wns great. Yesterday morning a rilver-motinted pocketbook belonging to Miss Holes was found by Curtis Piatt on Mr. D. H. Taylor's lawn. Fortunately, It contained no money when taken from tho house. Burnt matches scattered all over the second Iloor gave umplo evidence that the burglar was working for some tlmo, and had made a rather thoiough search of the rooms. One thing he will regret to noto when he reads, that he overlooked a very costly diamond pin ns he tumbled over tho contents of the trunk full of cloth ing which Mrs. Holes had just brought fiom New York.

Ruano against tho certificate of nomination of James Hewitt and Patrick Keegan as Judge of election and Inspector of election of the First district of the Sixth ward of this city.
