L. Hawkins in the publication of the Analostan Magazine, and through his | alleged wrong doing and flight Mr. Hawkiris became sole proprietor. ‘The particular offense charged, as already stated, is obtaining suit of clotues and $81 from Nathan Horne, the F street tailor. ‘The indictment was found on the 26th in- stant on the evidence of Nathan Horn, Willis | B.

Reports had been made concerning the repeated robbery of Mr. Hendrickson’s commission store, No. 921 Louis- jana avenue northwest, and the policemen on the beat were instructed to keep # lookout for the burglars. The robberies were always com- mitted by entering the place from the rear, on C street, and in that way the burglars had kept ont of sight of the watchmen on Louisiana ave- nue. That part of C street is dark and narrow. There are but two dwellings, one the New York Lodging House, so that burglars might spend an hour or more there and not be detec! Officer Heller made np his mind to capture the rascals if possible and for several nights ke spent considerable time waiting and watching. With Dr. Hendrickson, son of the store pro- prietor, the officer secreted himself in the rear of Ratcliffe, Darr & Co.’s auction house Satur- day and again waited for the burglars. ‘THEY CAME IN A WAGON. They had not been there many minutes be- fore a wegon, in which were seated two colored men, drove up and stopped at the curbstone near Mr. Hendrickson’s store. The men came in such a bold way that the officer could hardly realize that they were the burglars. It was only 7:30 o'clock, und the negroes evidently thought that such boldness would render them Jess liable to suspicion. One of the men, who j Was as dark as the aight itself, waiked across the sidewalk, broke open the cellar door and went down the steps. In a couple of ts he reappeared and hunded his com- a box cf oranges. The ofiicer was then fied that the men were the ones he wanted, he walked across the street, while Dr. Hendrickson weut to the front of the store to j prevent the ian inside from escaping by tneans of the front door. ALL COVERED WITH A REVOLVER. ‘The negro who was waiting for another box of oranges was covered with the officer's pistol j and he stood there holding ap his hands, when | another negro, who hed been standing on the ng for the police, walked over as thongh nothing was the matter.

The three negroes were then marched to the d locked up. The one who had en- tered the place gave his name as William Dade.

A Buffalo paper recently published a com- parative list showing the cities of the world having the greatest number of square yards of smooth pavement. ‘This was the list: “Buffalo has 1,204,678 equare yards; Washing- ton. 723,730; Paris, France, 370,760; Berlin, 5#0,000, and London, 282,948. Buffalo has {48 more square yards of emooth surface pavement than any other city in the world.” It will be seen from the above that Washing- ton ranks second on the list. ‘This is incorrect. A reporter of Tur Star recently looked the matter up, and with the assistance of Comput- ing Engineer Bailey of the engineer depart- ment of the District found that Washington had 2,0: square yards of smooth pave- ment.’ ‘This is divided as follows: Sheet asphalt pavement, 970,487 square yards; coal tar pavement, 851,939 square yards; asphalt block pavement, 200.103 square yards.
