TEE STOLEN TRAY IS RECOVERED Detectives Think the Thieves Still in Baltimore. Sieetieers tS REWARD OFFERED —_—_+—__—_ A Practically the entire detective force of the city has been hard at work ever since yesterday afternoon in ar effort to run down the men who perpetrated the bold daylight robbery of Desio’s jewelry store yesterday. _ While they have learned some additional facts in connection with the affair, they have not yet succeeded in get- ting any clue of particular value. In line with their usual methods, the police yesterday endcavored to conceal all the facts of the matter, and it is a fact that everything of any value that the de- tect have learned up to noon teday came to them directly as a result of the publication of the story yesierday in The Star. Miss Rose's Stor: Among the early callers at police head- quarters this morning was a very altract- ive young woman, who gave the name of Miss Rose. The police have since refused te divulge her other name or to tell where he lives. She was accompanied by a young man, and was very anxious to see Inspector Hollinberger. | When that of- ficial arrived at his office the young woman was ng for him, and ihey were closet- ed together for some little time. To the inspector the young woman sald that she had some information that might or might not be of v: that alue. She then went cn to say he had read of the robbery in The last evening, and she was then re- nded of the fact that she had seen three n stanaing near Desio's store shorUy ore noon yesierday, and that her atte on was aitracted by their curious con- auet. According to her story, she was standing near the corner of ith and F streets when she happened to see three men in an animated conversation on 11th street just above Mertz’s drug store. The men seemed to be so excited over what they were saying that she thought first that one of them at least must be under the influence of liquor. ‘A moment later she saw one of the men leave the other two and turn the corner toward Desio’s place. He entered the stere, and in a few moments the other two men foliowed him, stopping « moment to loos carefully into the show window before they passed through the door. She remark- ed at the Ume to a friend who was with her that she believed the men were up to some crooked work. She gave <he mat- ter no further thought until she happened he robbery later in the day. was able to sive something of a description of the three men, which tal- liel in all essential detaiis with the descrip- by Mr. Desio. All men were between twenty and thi of age. One wore a light gray and one a slate colored overcua’ the men wore brown derby hats. evercoat Two of The Jewel Tray Recovered. er in the day the detectives secured possession of the stolen jewel tray. It was brovght to headquarters by a man who found it in his place of business this morn- ing. This man was Mr. J. P. McDonnell who keeps a restaurant at 537 New Jersey avenue, not far from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad station. ir. McDornell a!so happened to be a Star reader and remembered the description that was given of the missing tray. According to the story he told the inspector, two well-dressed young men entered his place yesterday about 12:45 o'clock. Each had a drink and then they asked if they might use the toilet room. They went in to- gether, and were there for a very short time. When they came out one of the men said: “Well, we'll have to move along if we went to meet thaf other pariy. We only have about ten minutes to catch the train.”” This morning when the toilet room was being cleaned cut the much-wanted tray found hidden back in a corner. It answers exactly the description given by Mr. Desio. It is e2bout fifteen inches in dlameter, with fancy corners of blue or purple velvet. with a white satin center, where there are indentations to hold rings. There were sixtzen of these places, so ar- rangd as to hold rings without letting them drop out. Beside these there were several pads or cushions for the display of the brooches. Mr. Desio told a Star reporter this morr:- ing that there were exactly thirty-three i of jewelry on the tray when it was from his window. There were four ome brouches and twenty-nine ring: four of which were valuable solitaire: A more careful estimate of the value of the stolen goods has not reduced the los: and Mr. Desio still insists that it was more than $3,000, rather than less. In the corner of the toilet room lying with the tray Mr. McDonnell found a smati tin box, which had contained cough drops. On it was a druggist’s label, giving the address of a drug store in Baltimore, at the corner of Eutaw and Baltimore streets. What the Detectives Think. From these and the other facts in their possession the local detectives have come to the believe that the robbers took an after- noun train for Baltimore yesterday, proba- bly over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. They claim to believe that the men are still in Baltimore, and they hope to have them in custody before they are able to get away. Detectives Boyd and Horne left for that city this morning. Among the out-of-town detectives who were in Washington during the inaugura- tion week was one by the name of Mc- Caully, who had his eye out for a well- known crook, who he thought would be here when the city was crowded with vii tors. A picture of this man is in the local rogues’ gallery, and it seems that he makes a@ sp ity of just such work as that of yesterday. A photograph of the man was shown to Mr. Desio this morning, and while he said it looked very much like one of the men who were in his store yesterday, the man in the photograph had a longer mustache. The man who came into his store had only a short, scrubby mustache, two or three weeks old. The police believe that it’s one and the same man, however. A Reward Offered. = The local force look upon the robbery as ene of the most daring that has been per- petrated in this city in a long time, and yet some of the men afe inclined to believe that it was net the work of professionals. They explain this by the behavior of the men on lith street, as described by Miss Rese. An effort has been made to discredit Mr. De- sio’s story of the robbery, but it tsa fact that there is not a detective on the farce who did not think from the start that a robbery had been committed. The way every detective in town is working on the case today shows clearly what importance is attached to it. The facts that have de- veloped have borne out the details of the story completely. - Mr. Desto has offered a reward of $500 for the capture of the robbers and the return of the stolen jewelry. Besides acting as an incentive to the regular men, it has had the effect of starting out a lot of amateur detectives, and the town is being scoured today for possible clues. 29009046690459900000O ESS $ THE MEDAL MEDICINE 13 THE MODEL MEDICINE. : : ‘The only medal awarded to sarsa- & at Chicago, was awarded to Ayer’s parilla at the World's Fair, 1893, : Sarsaparilla.

INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Doering Robbery Reported to the Police This Morning. There was a daring robbery reporied to the police of the seventh precinct police station this morning, which occurred at the boarding house of Mrs. Henry at 1219 street, above the office of the Potomac Fire Insurance Company. The victim was Henry Peacock, hard-working and indus- trious man, and he lost over $250 of har- earned cash. He occupied a room on the second floor of the house. Last evening he entered his room about 10:30 o'clock with the money in his possession, and before go- ing to bed placed it in the bottom of his trunk, and, after locking it, placed the key where he could easily reach it. Being tired he soon fell into a sound sleep, and was aroused later in the night by a fellow boarder, who in entering the bath room of the house, stumbled over Mr. Peacock’s trunk. It seems as though the thieves had known of the sum of money carried by the ACCOUNTANTS . ile] ERR 833 Saka OBATHS DENTISTR’ abe ee eneaeakoateahe ee FOREIGN POSTAL SERVICE.

An explcs:on of ratolite at’the Lenthall Home for Widows, at the corner of 19th and G streets, shortly before 12 o’clock this motning threatened for a few moments the safety of the entire structure. The explo- sion occurred in the room occupied by Mrs. Warner, on the third floor, in the south- east corner of the building, and was of sufficient force to scatter the glass in the windows of the apartment as far out as the middle of 19th street. Mrs. Warner was cngaged in cleaning a couch with the fluid, and had used a considerable quantity. There being a hot fire in the stove, the vapor arising from the gasoline became ignited in a second, the explosion shatter- ing the windows and setting fire to the carpet and cvuch, the latter falling against the door. Mrs. Warner was thrown to the floor and her face and hair were badly scorched. Miss Laxton, living opposite, heard’ the explosion’ and immediately ran to a telephone a few doors away, turning in the alarm, which was quickly responded to. In the ineantime three ‘colored_men— George Neal, Arthur Jackson and Samuel Cooper—had also heard the explosion. They immediately made their way to the room, and, bursting in the door, rescued Mrs. Warner just in time: to prevent her suffo- cation by the smoke and gas. She was safely removed from the room, however, and the three men’ started in to subdue the blaze, about succeeding by the time the fire department arrived.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 10.—The legis- lature has been called to convene in extra session at Frankfort on the 13th of this month to elect a United States senator to represent Kentucky,vice J. C. 8. Blackburn, whose term expired last Thursday. With the proclamation calling an extra session of the general assembly was a commission for A. T. Wood of Mt. Sterling, who is given the empty honor of an appointment In the face of the fact that the senatoria! steering committee has informed Governor Bradley that an appointee of his would not be confirmed. This step was also taken by the executive in spite of the request from Mr. Hanna, as representative of the pres- ent administration, that the selection of Mr. Blackburn's successor be left to the legislature. These protests were futile, and Kentucky's first republican governor now says he has some ground for believing that his appointee will yet take his seat, and in that event it will be a personal triumph for him which he feels would be immeasurable. President McKinley's Position. But in going counter to the wishes of the administration the governor has “queered”” the stalwart republican patriots of the state who are anxious to serve their coun- try in some governmental capacity, for the word has gone down tne line that President McKinley has told every Kentuckian who has visited him that he will not under any circumstances distribute the offices in Ken- tucky until the legislature has elected a. serator, and thus disposed of a vexed and vexing question. Then, while the govern- or’s action in opposing the wishes of the leaders at’ Washington may have been a very gratifying personal pleasure, it has trought upon him the censure of a large element of his party, and there are warm times ahead. ‘The Star correspondent has it from a relia- ble source that the contest which will be waged before the legislative bodies week af- ter next will be equally as exciting as those which marked the last session of the legis- lature, when in a vain attempt to elect a senator the lawmakers kicked up so much turmoil the governor thought it necessary to call out the militia to quell the alleged mob. The friends of St. John Boyle of this city, who was the last caucus nominee of the republicans, but who refused to accept the appointment from Governor Bradley and become a political cat’s paw. say he will win with eage on the fourth or fifth ballot. But Dr. Hunter, ex-congressman, who was a formidabie contestant in the last ses- sion, insists that he will be the republican who will win the spurs so recently worn by Blackburn. Propose to Unseat Members. In the meantime the sliver democrats are not letting any grass grow under their feet, and they do not hesitate to inform the waiting public that they will unseat four recently elected representatives and thus deprive the republicans of their ma- jority, which would be two on joint ballot if they were left undisturbed as at pres- ent. Blackburn sends word from Wash- ington that if ne dees not succeed in hav- ing Bradiey’s appointee seated, he will soon be on the ground, ready for a lively tussle with the republicans and sound money democrats, for whcm he cherishes a hatred that many say is bitterness itself. A close friend of br. Hunter assures The Star correspondent, within the past twelve lLuurs, that his candidate will poll forty- two votes on the caucus ballot at Frank- fort, and will have fifty-five on the first joint ballot. He claims that Dr. Hunter can easily secure five sound money demo- cratic votes, but this is not at all probable. This friend of Hunter has been working in different parts of the state, and claims to have pledges enough to warrant the state- ment he made. However, it is likely the contest will be a long-drawn-out one, and there is every indication just now that it will engender much strife and cause some sensational scenes. The sixty-three tes necessary to elect will not come to any favorite before the tenth or fifteenth ballot, and not then, it the silver democrats can succeed In un- seating the republican members they are now counting on knocking out. A demo- crat may be elected at last, and it may be a sound money democrat. The republicans will not let the silverites elect a man, and will hinder any such intention. = WANTS AN ACCOUNTING. Mrs. Ruebsam Says Her Husband Has Not Settled. Bertha Reubsam, by her nexf friend, Melitta Benkirt, today filed a bill in equity against her husband, John E. Reubsam, praying for an accounting, and that he be required to pay the amount found due her. They were married at Philadelphia July 1, 1890, when she owned certain personal property in her own right. The Ist of the following November, so she claims, she loaned her husband $4,500, taking his note, payable on demand. For two years, she states, he paid the interest thereon regu- larly, but she charges that his pa: gradually became smaller, only ing been paid her on account of the note, although she has repeatedly demanded payment in full, to which demands, she charges, he responded only witn contempt und harsh treatment. She declares that for a long time he has given her nothing beyond the bare necessaries of life, anid that she is now practically without re- sources. She charges that he has cruelty treated and neglected her, telling her tat he would be glad if she should leave him. She alleges that he is possessed of several pieces of real estate, and asks that they or so many of them as may be required shall be sold to satisfy her claim. Mrs. Reubsam is represented by Attorney James Francis Smith. —— Robberies Reported. The police continue to have their hands full investigating reports of robberies.
