BUILDING The Management Planning to Begin Con- struction on the First of May. Mceting Called of Committee of One Handred—Circular Issued to the Young People. The work in the intercst of the Y. M. C. A. building fund has not been allowed to languish, notwithstanding there has been so much else to attract the attention of the general public. Secretary Multer of the association has been hard at work continu- ally in behalf of the proposed building, the construction of which is expected to begin in a few weeks. He has been ably second- ed by the citizens of Washington, who are interested in the association, and who have tendered their aid.” A meeting of the committee of one hun- dred will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Circular letters have been sent to different members of this citizens’ commit- tee, requesting every one to be present and to be prepared to make a verbal report of what has been accomplished, and, further, to give such suggestions as his work so far done may prompt him to make. The cir- cular states that it is the desire of thosé in charge of the canvass, as a result of the meeting, to be able to decide whether or not it will be wise to begin the work o. construction May 1. The circular is signed by S. W. Curriden, chairman of the com- mittee, who will preside at tonight's meet- ing. The chief aim will be to get these re- ports and to arrange plans to complete the canvass in sixty days. The Secretary Discusses Plans. “Cne of the plans,” said Secretary Mul- ter this morning, “will be to get the men who have been working all along to devote a larger amount of time in the next two months than they have been doing and are doing at present. The reports from the eanvassers will be received and different Phases under which the canvass is being conducted will be discussed. There is a purpose to make a great forward move- ment for the collection of the $75,000, with- out which we would not think it a good plan to begin construction. “Already a total of about $45,..- has been collected. We do not anticipate any trou- ble in securing the necessary $35,000. We have a list of at least fifty wealthy people of the city who have not been approached as yet. The really wealthy ones are not those who have given the money so far subscribed. There are probabl. inu.vid- ual subscribers on the list. The rich are M. C. in the past. The people in moderate ‘cumstances have rendered the most as- sistance.” Seeretary Multer will speak at this even- irg’s meeting, and there will be several informal ad¢resses by members of the cemmittce in regard to the hest p' be pursued in crder to raise the amount. The greatest enthusi been displayed in the matter of the can- , the secretary says, and while he de- ed that the amount collected should be larger, he is satisfied with what done Hope Placed in Young People.

Capture of Two Sueve cis by Roanoke, Va., Police. $ Information has been received here of the arrest, at Roanoke, Va., of two of the alleged safe. blowers who have been oper- ating in Virginia towns for several weeks. One of the men gave his name as William Howard, and the other registered as J. W. Moore, although the police were informed that his name is Thomas Trussell. Both pr:sonérs claimed this city as their home, but the local police do not recognize the names given. Good descriptions of two of the criminals had been obtained in one of the small towrs, where a safe had been blewn open and robbed, and Chief Dyer of the Roanoke force, who has been exceed- ingly successful in the capture of crimi- nals, made up his mind to get the men if they came his way. The officers under him were enjoined to give particular attention in this direction. Early yesterday morning information was received that two men answering descriptions given were wend- ing their way toward Roanoke, and Chief Dyer had all the approaches’ to the city guarded. Policeman Griffin was the officer who met the prisoner, Howard, later in the day. Howard presented the appearance of a traveling man, but he answered the de- scription of one of the men wanted, and the officer arrested him. A search of his effects soon convinced the officer that he had made no mistake, for a hammerless Pistol, several drills, bits, caps, and oil can and fuse were found. J. W. Moore, or ‘Thomas ‘Lrussell, was for- tunate enough to keep out of the way of the officers until last night, when also he was arrested. Both men admiited having been in Salem, Va., the night previous, at the time an attempt was made to blow open the safe in the post office. They deny, hewever, that they were implicated in the Job. At the Salem post office the robbers suc- ceeded in entering the building by remov- ing the bars from the rear window. Once irside the building. the robbers believed the field was clear. It probably would have been had not the bit broken when the hole being drilled was almost deep enough for the dynamite. The blowing of the safe ing been rendered impracticable, the burglars robbed the cash drawer of a small amount of money. The same night burglars robbed the store of A. O. Brown, and this robbery, it is supposed, was committed by the same parties. This morning Inspector Mattingly re- ed a mesage from Chief Dyer, giving a description of both prisoners, though Trus- sell had not then been arrested. It is thought by the local officers that the men belorg in Jackson City or Rosslyn. ‘The description of one of them tallies with that of a man known at the Virginia re- scrts mentioned. It is evident that there were two gangs of safe-blowers cperating in Virginia at the same time, for avout the date of the robbery at Falls Church others were be- ing committed in the lower part of the state. The Hyattsville robbery, it is } lieved, was committed by those who rob- bed the safe at Falls Church. ice the Hyattsville rebb: the police have been expecting to hear from the safe-blowers again in Maryland. ——— AGENT OF THE ION. Celestial Who Looks After Interests of the Laundrymen. Perhaps the proudest man in the United States, if not in all the world, is an indi- vidual who lives fa this city and enjoys life on a salary of $2.50 a week and ex- Fenses.

As stated in The Star yesterday, Rita Lesca V. de Ruiz is the mother of the chil- dren. The latter, in-a petition, asked that she be appcinted guardian, in order to prosecite for them a claim against the Spanish govcrzment in connection with the death of Dr. Ruiz. All the Ruiz children, with the exception of Ricardo, who is now in New York, were in court with the mother. Ricardo will come to this city later, when steps will be taken to have him also placed under the guardianship of his mother for the purp»se indicated. Judge Hagner first interrogated the eldest of the children present, Mercedes, through the medium of an interpreter, Antonio C. Gonzales of New York city being sworn for that purpose. Mr. Gonzales is one of the counsel for the Cuban junta in New York city. Mercedes assured the court that she desired the appointment of her mother as guardian. Mrs. Kuiz when questioned stated to Judge Hagner that she married Dr. Ruiz in 1Ss2. She then went on to recite the facts in the case, substantially as they ap- peared yesterday in The Star. Judge Hag- ner thereupon signed an order as follows: “On consideration of the petition of Mer- cedes, Evangelina, Ricardo, Rene and Gloria Ruiz de Ugarrio y Lesca, minors, by their next friend, William A. Edwards of the District of Columbia, and the said Mercedes, Evangelina, Rene and Gloria Ruiz de Ugarrio y Lesca, having appeared in op2n court, and the said Mercedes hay- ing elected her mother, Rita Lesca V. de Ruiz of the District of Celumbia, to te her legal guardian, it is this 25tn day ef March, A.

R. on Kenyon Street. A report has been made by the District Coramissioners to the Senate District com- mittee on the bill for the regulation of the Keryon street branch of the Brightwood Railway Company. The Commissioners explain that the com- pany runs a shuttle car over its Kenyon and Marshall street branch; that there is no conductor, and no fares are charged or collected; that this branch of the road does not pay operating expenses, and in its present condition of track and service acts as a detriment to the development of the street upon which it exists. The Commis- sioners believe that the requirement of the bill that the Brightwood company’ put underground electric system upon this por- tion of its line, or that it abandon the line in question, without abandoning its entire charter, is just to both the railroad com- pany and the public. However, if the Metropolitan Railway Company, or other road, should make an extension between 7th and l4th streets, this line, they say, would be entirely unnecessary, and should be removed; and provision should be made for this contingency. —$—_-__ FIRST TO RESPOND. Third Division Teachers Contribute to N. E. A. Fand. The first contribution from the public schools for the National Educational As- sociation entertainment fund was received Wednesday by Mr. Charles J.

Mr. Bell was highly gratified at the excellent showing made by this division, and appreciated the interest manifested by the supervising principal, Mr. A. T. Stuart, as well as the teachers. } r. Stuart headed the list with $20, while Trustee J. W. Whelpley contributed $, which is in ad- dition to his contribution to the general ccmmittee.

Brengle, one of the officers at the Salvation Army headquarters in New York, will have what is known as a “great spiritual campaign” in the army hall, 930 Pennsylvania avenue, this city, Saturday, Sunday and Monday next. Major Brengle, who will be assisted by Ensign Dearing, is known as the national spirit- ual special. He was formerly actively en- gaged in Y. M. C. A. college work, and rep- resented De Pouw University in the inter- national convention in Milwaukee in 188%. While studying theology in Boston Uni- versity, where he was a classmate of Profs. Coe and Hayes of Evanston, IIl., University, he became acquainted with scme of the members of the Salvation Army, which he joined in 1887. Subse- quently he spent six months in England, where he took a course in the famous Lon- aon Training Home. On returning to the United States he was stationed at a num- ber of points in New England; was almost killed in Boston by a rough, who attempt- ed to brain him with a brick; was district cfficer of Maine, New Hampshire, west Massachvset's and Rhode Island districts, respectively; general secretary of the north- western chief division, and also’ of the central, with headquarters in New York. Last summer he was sent by Commander Beoth-Tucker to represent the army at the national Christian Endeavor conven- ticn in San Francisco, and was then ap- peinted natiozal spiritual special. Major Brengle is one of the army's best known writers on spiritual subjects. His wife, who will accompany him, is a graduate of Vassar College, and was converted by the army while traveling in Europe. She is a devoted army worker and well known writer. ——— CHARGES CRUELTY.
