When the police of the third precinct learned last night of a bold and outrageous case of Assault and robbery having been committed near Washirgtoa Circle by an unknown colored boy, they made a thor- ough search of the alleys and places where such an individual might be found, but did not succeed in landing the crimirfal behind the bars. The victim of the bold high- wayman was Mrs. R. C. Wilton, who lives at No. 1003 23d street, near Wash- ington Circle, and the assault and rob- bery happened cnly a short distance from her home, almost directly under aa elec- tric light. Mrs. Wilton was robbed of her pocketbook, which contained $1.05, and was also slightly bruised from rough treaz- ment. Her husband is sick in bed and has been sick for several weeks. Last night he thought he would enjoy a taste of ice cream and his wife went over as far as a confec- tionary store on Pennsylvania avenue and bought a box of the frozen food. The ave- rue was brightly lighted, and as her home is near the circle she thought there was no reason for fearing trouble, and she felt as sefe as if it had been daytime. She had the box of cream and her pocketbook in her hend, and so far as she could tell they were not where they could be seen by a pedestrian. But this colored indi- vidual had an idea that she had the pocket- bock, it is thought, or he would not have taken so desperate a chance of being caught. Mrs. Wilton was hurrying home with tne cream and had just turned from the circle when she heard the boy’s footsteps. Then she realized for the first time that sne was probably in danger, and she quick- ened her footsteps. But she did not go fast enough, for the colored boy soon over- took and grabbed her by the arm. With the other hand he tried to grab her by the throat and then the struggle began in earnest. There was no fainting done by Mrs. Wilton, but she pounded him as well as she could until she was finally thrown down. Then the highwayman made an ef- fort to use his feet on her face, but suc- ceeded in only inflicting one bruise. While Mrs. Wilton was on the ground the col- ored boy got her pocketbook and escaped. All this time the woman was calling for help, and the police say that a man stood off at a distance and was afraid to go to her assistance, fearing he might get shot. During the struggle Mrs. Wilton grabbed the boy’s overcoat pocket and pulling it out an old pistol that was not loaded fell to the sidewalk. The boy’s hat was also left on the pavement. Fireman Reynolds was the first to come to the woman’s as- sistance, and he helped her home. The pistol and cap were handed over to the police, and may be the means ef identifying the criminal. —.__ Colambia Athletic Smoker. The gymnasium of the Columbia Athletic Club was the scene of a merry gathering Saturday night. The “gym.” was crowded from the doors to the platform. Humor- ous recitations and character impersona- tions were given by Prof. William Alger of Baltimore. The Allegro Quartet, M. Hen- sey, Le Roy Gough, J. Taylor Cronin and E. O. Asmussen, rendered popular selec- tions, and William Conley, the Washington comedian and impersonator, was seen in several of his favorite numbers. The Yel- low Kid fad was introduced by Messrs. Henshaw and Collins, and proved a hit. Mr. Fink’s violin solos were thoroughly en- Joyed, and the songs and recitations of Messrs. Callahan and Price were highly ap- preciated. Prof. Haley furnished the in- strumental music. ~ ——— The Old Guard. A special meeting of the “Old Guard” was ‘held Friday evening to take action on the death of W. W. McDonald, senior color’ by jt.

Then Dropped Mr. Evan H. Tucker, president of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion, has just returned from the north, where he has been for the past two wecks, investigating the mysterious disappearance of his brother, Mr. Andrew J. Tucker, who has not been seen or heard from since No- vember 13 last. The young man who has so mysteriously dropped out of sight went to Boston last April and kad been in communication with his family in this city up to last November. Failing to hear from him for some ume, the family communicated with his friends in Boston, only to learn that he had left that city for Worcester, afterward intending to come to this city for the holidays. He was then apparently in the best of health and spirits. As all mail which was forwarded to him at Worcester, according to his direc- tions, was returned, his friends became aj prehensive that some accident had hap pened to him and piaced the matter in the | hands of the Boston police for investiga tion, Their efforts failing to discover an clue to his whereabouts, his brother went | |+ to Boston to conduct a personal investiga- tion, He was unable to learn anything of importance in that city, and then went to Worcester. From what he learned there he was sacisfied that the young man never reached chat city. The police of New York were also consulted, but without suc- cess. Mr. Evan Tucker said today that while | his investigation had been very thorough, | « it had established no clue to a solution of | |* the mysiery. He is of the opinion that his | * brother has been drowned. This theory is | * based upon the fact that he was very fond of boating and taking trips on the water. Mr. Andrew J.

The extreme left-hand edge of the disk is the part that will be obliterated for the time. This is one of only two similar events for the year, the other taking place in July. We are not to have any lunar eclipses this year, but are quite fortunate in being admitted to view the two of the sun. We do not sec them in all their glory as annular eclipses, but we have a portion of the sun’s disk hidden from view, and it is always interesting to watch the changes. In this latitude we shall only see a small part of the sun's face blotted out, and a piece of smoked glass will be necessary to keep the remaining rays from injuring the eyes as we search for the darker portion and watch it moving across the more bril- liant part of the sun.
