Beware of counterfeits. A Serious Assault. About 6 o'clock yesterday there was a serious assault committed in a vacant house, No, 119 Kentucky avenue, the vic- tim being a painter named William Taylor. Three men committed the assault, using banister rods on his head. The injured man was left for dead by his assailants, but he managed to crawl from the house to the rear steps, and there his groans were heard by a man who lives in the neighbor- hood. Word was sent to the police, and when the patrol wagon arrived Taylor was unconscious. He was taken to Providence Hospital, where he soon showed signs of improvement. This morning the patient was much better, although the cuts on his head are very painful. It is thought that the injured man knows who assaulted him, and will have them arrested when he is able to appear in court, MADE A GOOD HAUL Hotel Sneak Thief Gets Money, Jewelry | A and Securities, Representative Grove Johnson the Victim ofa Clever Professional —Police Send a Description. Burglars end sneak thieves who belong to the professional class have let this city se- verely alone for several weeks, until” Wed- nesday night, when the room of Represent- ative Grove Johnson of California was vis- ited by one of the light-fingered gentry,who made a good haul. The Californian and his family have occupied a suite of rooms in the Cochran Hotel during the presen: ses- sion of Congress, and Wednesday evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, while the members of the family were at dinrer, the sneak thief entered and made the haul. When the Congressman went to dinner he left the trunk, as well as the door of the room, securely fastened, and he found them fastened when he returned. There was nothing about the rcom to arouse suspicion or indicate that an intruder had been there. But later in the night, when a member of the family had occasion to go to the trunk for something, the discovery was made that a thief had been there, and had taken cash, jewelry, and .ecurities aggregating more than $2,500. A telerhone message was sent to pplice headquarters, and a detective was soon at th2 hotel to make an investigation. Yester- day morning ancther detective was called in, end the entire force is row looking for the man, who 1s undoubtedly a professionai sneak. The result cf the investigation by the police was the sending out of a descrip- tive circular, offering a liberal reward for the arrest of the thief ard the recovery of the property stolen or any portion thereof. The Stolen Property. The property described in the circular is as follows: Gold hunting case watch, No. 24599, F. H. Mathez make, gold fob chain attached; cost $175. Lady’s ring, set with three large diamonds; cost $500. Lady's diamond ring; cost $25. Garnet set of jew- elry; cost $10, Plain gold wedding ring, very old, initials worn off; pair of hair bracelets, with gold clasps; old gold watch, key winder; $428 in greenbacks, a $20 gold piece and certificates of deposit on Onio National Bank amounting to $1,450. The circular also says that the prop- erty was stolen by a hotel thief, who reg- istered as J. H. Willetts, New York, fifty to fifty-five years old, five feet eight or nine inches tall, 150 or 160 pounds weight, me- dium build, gray hair and mustache, short gray whiskers slightly parted in the mid- dle, small features, light complexion, quick movements; wore a black derby hat, dark clothes, light-w@ight overcoat, looks and dresses like a business man. Who*this man Willetts is the police do not know. He reached here Wednesday afternoon, and rode to the hotel in a coach in which Inspector McLaughlin was also seated, but the police official, who knows most of the prominent crooks, did not recognize him. Wednesday evening, a few minutes after the robbery was committed, the suspected man paid his bill and left the hotel. The Suspected Guest. About the hotel the guest who is now suspected of having committed the rob- bery said he had come to see the Brazilian minister on some business. He was as- signed to room 129, and chambermaids in the hotel say they saw a man answering his description going down one floor to another about the time the robbery was committed. Detectives Horne and Rhodes, who are especially assigned to the case, are en- deavoring to learn something more of the man’s identity, ani the printed circulars mentioned above have been sent to the police departments of other cities. —_—__ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek. Notice has been given by the committee on church property of the West Street Presbyterian Church that on September 1 the Presbyterian Church cemetery, between 33d and 34th, Q and R streets, will be finally abolished. All bodies must be re- moved by that date, and if the friends of the deceased do not take some action the church will attend to the removal and en- ter them in ore grave in some Cemetery. The committee of the church in charge of the matter is Levin S. Frey, William M. Dougal and H. P. Gilbert. The cemetery at the present time is in a very dilapidated condition. Many of the bodies have been removed, in fact, almost all bodies the rela- tives or friends of which are living. Most of the remains in the cemetery at the pres- ent time will have to be removed at the ex- pense of the church, as no relatives of the deceased are living. The desecration of the cemetery is now complete, and vandals have carried off most of the valuable mov- able things in the place. The wooden head- boards have been used for firewood or fence boards, and even the bricks of some of the tombs have been carted away. Fire Today. A fire was discovered this morning about haif-past 10 o'clock in the two-story frame dwelling at 1714 33d street, occupied by Samuel Blackman. No alarm was turned in because of the fact that the engines could not be communicated with by tele- phone in time to respond to put out the blaze. Policeman Ward and several other people managed to extinguish the blaze without much damage. The fire was started by children playing with matches. Notes. Sergt. Haney returned to duty this morn- ing, after an illness of some days. “Stations of the Way of the Cross” will be recited this evening at Trinity Church. Mr. Eugene Davis of Q street, who has been quite sick, is convalescing. ees THE WIFE WINS. Judge Cox Grants Mrs. Franz a Di- vorce and Alimony. Judge Cox today disposed of the long pending divorce case of Charles F. L. Franz against Marietta A. Franz, by dis- missing Mr. Franz’s petition and granting Mrs. Franz a divorce on her cross bill. The court also awarded her the care and cus- tody of their minor children, Grace and Stuart, charging their father with their maintenance. The judge ordered Mr. Franz, who is said to be employed in the goy- ernment printing office, to pay Mrs. Franz $25 a month, the costs of the suit, and $50 counsel fees. Mr. Franz filed his petition for divorce September 21, INM, stating that they were married =t the Episcopal Orphan Asylum, Petersburg, Va., April 24, 186 Mrs. Franz’s maijen name being Vaden. They lived together until June 19, 1888, when, he charged, Mrs. Franz willfuliy deserted and abandoned tim. Mrs. Franz filed a cross bill September 29, 1894, denying that she had deserted and abandoned her husband. On the contrary, she sald, she was forced to leave him because of his cruelty and abuse,which, she alleged, commenced short- ly after their marriage, and was contin- ued until she left him, June 19, 1588. + Her charges were in turn denied by Mr. Franz, who retorted by charging his wife with being an immoral woman, and with having an undue thirst for beer. Those charges she denied, and a great mass of testimony was taken in the case with the result above stated. Mrs. Franz complain- ed, too, that while her husband is the own- er of several parcels of real estate ‘and re- ceives a good salary, she was forced to support nerself and children. She also stated that she would have returned to her husband had she been sufficiently urged by him to so do, explaining that while they lived apart he often visitei her, inviting her to acccmpany him to places of amuse- ment, which invitations she several times accepted. The parties have several grown children, es The District Government.
