A large number of stolen wheels have been reported at police head- quarters this summer, but the claim is made that in upward of 70 per cent of all the cases the wheels have been recovered, though the percentage of arrests is by no means as large. Last evening about 9 o'clock Detectives Gallagher and Lacy arreste® a nineteen- year-old colored boy named Bertie Robin- gon on the charge of stealing a Columbia bicycle a couple of weeks ago. They lo- cated the wheel in Glick’s alley at a bar- ber shop, where Robinson took it when he punctured a tire. While Lacy was after the wheel Gallagher started out on a hunt for the thief, and picked him up a few minutes later on 7th street. With his prisoner in tow, Gallagher heaa- ed for Glick’s alley, but Lacy had already left. The residents of that festive thor- ovghfare started in to do up the detective and release Robinson, but Lacy, who is known to all the colored people in town, returned just in the nick of time, and they succeeded in getting their man behind the bars without further trouble. Robinson denied his guilt and insisted that he had bought the wheel a couple of months ago. It has been identified as one that was stolen less than a fortnight azo, however, and Robinson has been commit. ted to await the return of the owner. He will be given a hearing in the Police Court next Frid iy. Tuesday last Detectives Lacy and Boyd learned that a couple of wheels, supposed to have been stolen, were secreted in a house, No. 731 Marshall street, occupied by a young colored man named Lewis Contee, alias Tanzimer. When they reached the house Contee made his escape by a back door. Inside they found a Victor wheel, which has been identified as one that was stolen on July 15. The handle bar and sad- dle had been changed and the frame paint- ed green. A later search of the house dis- covered another bicycle hidden away in a closet. This one had also been changed about so as to prevent its identification, and it was evident that at least three wheels had been used in this way. Contee is still at large, but the police are keeping a sharp lookout for him. —__ DETERMINED TO DIE. But Dr. Glenn’s Efforts at ‘Suicide Were Frustrated. Dr. J. R. Glenn of Plainfield, who is a traveling agent for the Rumford chemical works at Philadelphia, attempted to com- mit suicide at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., yester- day. He first knelt beside the New York Central tracks and placed his head upon a rail under an express train. He insisted that he was examining the car tracks. Later he visited two hardware stores and tried to purchase a revolver, but was refused. He also failed to se- cure @ quantity of prussic acid at a drug store. A policeman arrested him in a hardware store, where he was trying to buy a revolver. He had on his person over $200 in money and a deposit certificate for $2,000. He was adjudged by two physicians to be suffering from melan- cholia, and he was committed to jail. His family in Plainfield were notified. oe No Third Ticket in Nebraska. A. Sheehan, president of the Omaha Jack- sonian Club, attended the select dinner giv- en in honor of J. Sterling Morton at the Omaha Club. Sheehan says a motion was made at the dinner party favoring a new ticket, but was defeated by a small vote. Euclid Martin was selected at a conference of democrats at Chicago, a few weeks ago, as provisional committeeman for Nebraska, to attend the meeting at Indianapolis, and the Omaha Club confirmed his selection. He Is personally in favor of a new ticket, although Sheehan predicts there will be no third ticket in Nebraska. GAS IS CHEAPER canst Gas has had the effect of tn the number of users of G.

Philadelphia Commits ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Why a Young Man is Suspected of Being Report of the Ji Inspectors—Com- eting Arrangements for the Emancipa m Celebration. J. T. Beckham, jr., was given an exam- ination before Mayor Thompson in the po- Uce courg last night for an alleged attempt to set fire to an unoccupied house on upper Prince street on Wednesday night last. About half-past 11 o'clock Wednesday night William Wood, engineer of the Columbia fire engine, went to the station house and informed Lieut. Smith that Beckham had left the engine house with a five-gallon can of coal ofl and a lot of waste, and that he thought that it was Beckham's intention to set fire to a house on upper Prince street. The lieutenant, accompanied by Officer James Hall, immediately proceed- ed to the house in question and secreted themselves. Shortly after their arrival they saw Beckham come up Prince street, enter the house by going down into the cellar and strike a match. In a few seconds Beckham came out again and wen: down Prince street. About ten minutes | they saw Beckham coming again up Prin: street, and again he stopped at the house and lit several matches, as if he were looking for something. He then went in a westerly direction, and the officers saw him go to his home. The officers then proceeded to the house in question and made a thorough examina- tion of the premises, but no signs of any kind could be found that an attempt had been made to set the house on fire. Several witnesses testified substantially as stated above. Mr. Beckham, in his own behalf, stated that he had been at Riverside Park Wednesday evening, and that while there had indulged too freely of the intoxicating bowl, and that he did not remember any- thing that happened after he reached Alex- andria from the park. After hearing all the evidence Mayor Thompson dismissed the case, exonerating Mr. Beckham from the charge brought against him. The Emancipation Celebration. John M. Langston has written to Magnus L. Robinson of this city accepting an in- vitation to attend the thirty-third anniver- sary of the emancipation proclamation in this city the 22d of September next.

Moore and Boothe yesterday filed their quarterly report of their inspection of the city jail. The re- pert shows that there are at present twen- ty-nine prisoners in jail, five white men, twenty-one colored men and three colored females. They recommend that a fire plug be erected near the St. Asaph street en- tance, and that 150 feet of hose be pro- ‘ded; also some repairs to the roof and cornice of the building. The general co dition of the jail is reported as being ex cellent. Arrested and Fined for Abusing an Oliicer. Harry Jackson, a colored fireman on the Southern railroad, was arrested at the Southern railway station in this city yes- terday by Officer Beach. Jackson was standing on the platform of the station cursing and abusing things generally, par- ucularly the police. When advised by a friend to stop or he would be arrested, he exclaimed that “No cop could arrest him.” Mayor Thompson this morning fined him §, which he paid. Police Court. Mayor Thompson this morning disposed of the following cases: Henry Jackson, col- ored, arrested by Officer Beach, charge, disorderly conduct and abusive language toward an officer; fined $5. Martha John- son, colored, arrested by Officer Ferguson, charge, disorderly conduct; dismissed for want of evidence. At a special session of court, held last night at 7 o'clock, the case of J. F.

Petition Filed at Hagerstown Asking a Reduction of Bond. J. C. Lane and Hugh L. Bond, jr., so- licitors for John K. Cowan, Joseph Bryan and Hugh L. Bond, jr., trustees of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, filed a petition in the circuit court for Washington county, Md., yesterday asking that the bond of the trustees, $600,000, given before the redemp- tion of the bonds of 1878 and the repairing of the canal after the disastrous flood, be reduced to $20,000, citing the faot that the conditions of the bond and requirements of the decree of Judge Alvey have been fully performed so far as it relates to the 1878 bond issue and the repairing of the canal, and the trustees claim a $600,- 000 bond is now burdensome compared go the magnitude of the responsibility. petition was filed at the request of Mise Mary E. Garrett and John B. Mc- Donald, who are on the $600,000 bond. Ob- jection, however, has been filed to the lowering of the bond by Baltimore attor- neys for a number of claimants about Cumberland having special liens on the canal. It is generally thought the object of reducing the bond is to release Miss Garrett, who, it is thought, opposes the project of John K. Cowan, receiver for the B. and O., to have the canal absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. ———+o+____ POSSIBLY A FILIBUSTER. The Laurada May Be on Her Way to uba.

The Mother Affected to Tears When She Received the Little One— Allegations Made. Mrs. Mattie C. Foertsch gained the first point today in her legal fight for the cus- tedy of her child, a baby boy of two years, Jvdge Cole directing that she be given the custody of the little one until 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning, when the hear- ing on the writ of habeas corpus, obtained yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Foertsch against her husband, Charles Foertsch, will be resumed. In her petition for the writ Mrs. Foertsch alleged that she was recently compelled to leave her husband because of his habitual drunkenness and cruelty, going, with her two children, the other a girl ef three years, to her mothe-’s heme, 1236 4%) street, and that Wednesday last her husband en- liced «nd took away the little boy, refus- ing to allow her to see or have .ccess to him, although, as Mrs. Foertsch >mplain- ea, the little one is a nursing infant. The father of the child was ordered by Judge Cole to produce it in court at 11 o'clock this morning. That Mr. Foertsch did, and Mr. W. W. Millan, his counsel, presented a petition asking for further time in which to allow the husband to answer his wife's petition. In this petition Mr. Foertsch denied his wife's charge of habitual drunkenness and cruelty, charging Mrs. Foertsch, in turn, with being an improper and untit perso: to have the little one, because, as the hus- band further charged, of her grossly im- moral and unfaithful conduct. hus- band complained that he had not time in which to more fully prepare a defense, and therefore prayed the court to allow him further time to do so. Mr. Obear, representing Mrs. Foertsch, while not objecting to the respondent's re- quest for further time, strongly ob ad to the little one remaining in his contending that the child’s mother, rather than its father's sister, is the most proper verson to have and care for it. t assurance,” inquired Judge Cole, “can the mother give that she will produce the child in court next Wednesday morn- ing, if 1 turn it over to her now."
