Several Thousand Dollar Worth of Jewelry Stolen from the House of the Chilian Minister. PROMFT ARREST OF THE THIRF AND RECOVERY OF ‘THE STOLEN PROPERTY. This morning, between two and three o'clock, the residence of the Chillan mintster, Senor Don Domingo Gana, No. 2024 G street northwest, was entered and robbed of about $7,000 worth of dia- monds, etc. Tie minister and his wife were asleep in the second-story bed-room and the valua- bles were in acase built into the walls of the bulldipg, the keys being in the pocket of Mrs. Gana’s dress, About three o'clock a.m. they were awakened by the erying of their child and the lady noticed that the door of the ease was opened and the keys hanging im the lock. She imme- diately ran to the case and found that all her jew- eiry had disappeared, Senor Gana immediately dressed himself and started out to inform the police. He suspected that the thief was Francisco B. da Silva, a colored Brazilian, twenty-seven Years old, who,up to a month ago, had been in the Service of the legatton and who the minister had supposed was in New York en route for Brazil, the minister having paid his passage to Rio.’ On reaching the street Senor Gana blew a whistle and Sergeant Harbinson answered, ‘The minister at once reported the robbery, and told his suspicion of Da Silva, giving adesription of him. Lieut. Guy was awakened and detailed officers to watch the railroad stations, sending Officers Rogers and MeGlen to the Baltimore and Potomac depot. ‘These oMficers took seats in the depot, and Just as they were beginning to think that Da Silva had gone In another direction they saw him enter the building about 7:20 o'clock. They at once pat him under arrest, and found that he had the stolen articles on his person. Tak- img htm to the fourth precinct ‘station, c. he was locked up fora hearing. He 1s unable to speak any language Dut Spanish. | It 18. belleved that he alone was concerned tn the job, his knowledge of the house, obtained during “his ser- Vice, enabling him to make an entrance through the back basement window, go to the sleeping apartment of the minister, take the keys from the pocket of the minister's wife, get the valuables ‘and leave the premises safely. “The jewelry em- braces a diamond crescent, valued at $3,000; a necklace of pearls and diamonds, valued itt $2,500; ‘@ breastpin, with portrait, $500;" bracelets, $150; earrings, $150; two gold watches, etc., footing up about $7,000 in all. “The crying of the child, the Promptness of the minister in reporting his ‘loss, Rnd the alertness of the police, thus led to the quick arrest of the thief and the recovering of the stolen property. Lieut. Guy Was at the State department this morning consulting with the Assistant Secretary ‘with regard to the case. A, Sta® reporter called at the restdence of the Chitian minister and was given the particulars of the robbery by the ministér’s little son, ‘The thief, until a month ago, was a servant to the minister. Among other things he wasa carpenter, and did odd bits of cabinet work and carpentering about the house. He also waited on the minister in his private study and was very familiar with the house. About a month ago he was suspected of stealing money and was dismissed. It was not certain, however, that the suspicion was well | grounded. He went to New York, where he re- jaained until last night, when he came in on the train, He did not make his presence known. Between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning he brok open the back gate, got in the kitchen door and ‘Went at once to the minister's study, where he got about $80 in money from the desk. ’He then went into the adjoining room, where the minister and his Wife and little daughter slept. He there got all the Jewelry from the dressing case, as stated above. Then he took the minister's overcoat and | some ‘private papers, When a servant in the house he had always been very fond of the little rl, Who 18 Only about two or three years old. efore leaving the room he stooped and kissed her, She awoke and called out: “Mama! mama!” ‘The man then took her in his arms and kissed her again, and then rushed from the room. Senora Gana’ then awoke and thought she saw the man Pass through the door. After leaving the room the thief took the private papers and the jewel boxes, and, after taking the Jewelry out, burned the boxes in the furnace. He left a knifé on the table that he had carried in his belt, He was Adentified by Senor Gana at the station-house this morning. ee Sa Schedule of Teachers’ Salaries. MEETING OF THE SCHOOL BOARD LAST EVENING, AND TTS ACTION. Aspectal meeting of the school board was held last evening at the Franklin building, at the re- quest of the District Commissioners, for the pur- pose of preparing a detailed schedule showing the number of teachers in each class and salary re- quired for the next fiscal year. Some of the schedules were ready, but the majority were not prepared; and the board, without considering any Of them, decided to refer the entire matter to the resident of the ‘Mr. Darlington, who was instructed to act with the Superintendents of the white and colored schools. ‘The preparation of the schedules is merely clerical, and it was suggested to the board by the Commissioners that ft should be done, because of the probability that Congress would call for a detailed statement of this charac- ter. Heretofore it has been the custom for Con- gress to appropriate a certain sum of money, with the condition that only a stated number of teach- ers should be employed at an average salary not to exceed acertain amount. It seems probable that Congress this year will appropriate for the teachers’ salaries in the same form that appropria- tions are made for clerical service in the govern- ment departments; namely, so many teachers with a certain salary, somany at another grade of salary, and soon. in case Congress calls upon the District Commissioners for such detailed estimates, they will be prepared to furnish them. ‘The resignation of Dexter A. Sintth, a teacher in the male grammar school ind principal of the Curtis butlding, West Washington, was received, Mr. Sinith stating that he intended to practice medicine. ‘The appointment of M. E. Pryor as teacher of class 1 in the Randall, upon the recommendation of the comninitvee on teachers, was confirmed. “The board then adjourned. ——-—__ ‘The Upper Marlboro’ Fire.

A telegram from Louisville, December 25, says: ‘Mrs. Hanly, who died at Nicholasville a few days ago, had a romantic history. Her husband, Major Gratten Hanly, was the great grandson of Sir John Hanly, the Ear! of Landof, in Ireland, who, during the rebellion there in 1798, was compelled to leave his home. Coming to this country he settled with- in half a mile of Nicholasville. In another direc- ‘tfon lived Harrison Daniel, Mrs. Hanly’s father. Major Gratten Hanly was born in 1821, and when he was eight years old he was on a visit with his mother to the home of Harrison Dantel. On this very day Mrs. Hanly was born and the twomothers, piedged their children to each other. They grew up as playmates and as children loved each other. Afterward Major Hanly moved to Mississipp!, but, came back in 1856 and married Miss Fannie Daniel, Immediately upon their marriage they returned to Mississippi, where they remained 11 years. Major Hanly served during the entire war.
