SECOND-STORY THIEVES.
M, IT. Dale's Residence on Jeffer
son Avenue Entered Last Eve
ning During the Din
ner Hour.
M. IL Dale'rt rcsldetue. at 411 Jeffer
foil avenue, was visited last evening
by the seeond-fitory sneak thieves who
have been operating on the "hill" fot
s'oine tlino xiast
As in tho previous Instances the
work was done while the family were
dining.
A ladder was placed against the side
of tin lioue and 1111 aitianci madi
through n bed-iuoni window on the
second Hour.
Four 100ms were rnnsatked. but the
only thing of value canled nvvav was
a servant's purse containing $2. A
gold watch belonging to one of Mr.
Dalo's son? was not discovered by the
thief.
Two men weie engaged iu the Job
but only one, It Is supposed, went Into
the house. The other presumably stood
on guaid below. This information was
gleaned fiom a servant in an adjoin
ing house. She saw two men In Dale's
jard about 6 :ii) o'cloik, but time was
nothing in theli anions to .iioii"e her
suspicions.
One of them, she sunk, was whistling
and for some time ntter she went iu
she could hear him still whistling. She
supposed they were doing some work
about the place, and it was not until
the burglary was leported that she
gave the matter a second though
Mr. Dale was not at homo vvhn tin
affair occurred. He bad business In
town In the early part of the n
nlng and dined at the Elks, intending
to transact his business before return
ing home for the night. The police
have been notified.

The Defeated Candidate Congiatu
lates the Victor.
Just before the nttempt to convene
the Joint session of the councils last
night Selectman Roche and C'ommonei
Molr met for the first time since elec
tion. Mr Roche sought out his late oppon
ent In the common council chumber
and extended his hand nnd congratula
tions. Captain Molr heartily accepted
both.
"ou won, captain, but I guess I
kept you hustling"
"That you did, John," laughingly re
plied the major-elect
They spent a few moments exchang
ing pleasantries and then Mr. Roche
repaired to his own side of the house.
Captain Molr stnted to his fellow
commoners that Clerk II. C Hatton
Is to be his pilvate jocietarj.
