FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS NOT MADE Officers Succeed in Breaking Up a Gang of Thieves. CHILD .BITTEN BY A DOG ee Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King Street, Bell Telephone, No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 8, 1898. James Grigg, whose serious illness has been mentioned in The Star, died at his residence, No. 123 South Columbus street. at 5:15 o'clock this morning, after a brief illness. Mr. Grigg had been a member oi the Masonic Order for over fifty years. He was born in this city May 9, 1823, where he has lived ever since. He married Miss Ana Newton Atkinson January 6, 1848, and her death occurred only five weeks ago. Since that event Mr, Grigg has been deciining In health. He joined Alexandria-Washington Lodge, No. FAL A. M., year 1846—the lodge of which George Washington was at one time the worshipful master. He was also a member of Mt. Vernon Royal Arch *hapter, No. 14, having joined it the same r. He was knighted in September, 1847, Washington “Commandery, No. 1; y in James Grigg. Knights Templar of Washington, D. C. For a long term of years he had been tyler of Alexandria-Washington and An- drew Jackson lodges, in this ity, and has probably entertained more Masons than any other member of the order now living. He was acknowledged to be the second old- est Mason and Knight Templar in America. He visited the conclave in Boston last year, re met the oldest Mason. About ago he was given a reception in Washington by the templars and Ma- sons, in celebration of the golden anni- versary of his Masonic life. He leaves five children, three davghters and two sons, who have been telegraphed for. Until they are all heard from no ar- rangements will be made for the funeral. Gang of Thieves Broken Up. For the past three or four weeks there has hardly been a day that a report has not been received at the station house of the robbery of different houses and offices, and the entire police force has been hard at work endeavoring to ferret out the guilty parties. Saturday night last the store of Mr. Matt. Acton was broken into and robbed of a number of articles. The robbery was reported to Sergeant Smith Sunday morning, and he, with Officers Knight and Lyles, went to work on the case, and in a short while secured informa- tion that James Grayson, a well-known negro, was the guilty party. He was ar- rested and taken to the station house. The officers then started out to find the stolen articles belonging to Mr. Acton, which they succeeded in doing. Grayson was sent to jail by Mayor Simpson to await the action of the grand jury. After the trial Monday, many, in the most complimentary terms, commended the officers for the manner in which they had handied the case. Yesterday afternoon the officers succeeded in recovering a suite of parlor furniture that had been stolen from Mr. Richard Murphy, also a lot of jswelry and other articles stolen from Mr. L. C, Barley's office, and a number of other ar- ticles belonging to a number of persons. ssed that he had stolen them. has only been out of the p2nitentiary about twe years, where he served a term of eightzer years for an attempted assault on a young |: in Loudoun county, Va.

Police Court. Mayor Simpson this morning disposed of the following cases in police court: Frank Payne, charged with stealing $2 from Joha Simms; penalty, $5 or twenty days on the gang. Patrick Gallagher, charged with vVagrancy; sent to jail subject to the chain gang for ten days. Eliza Thomas, charged with abusive language; fined $2.50. Bitten by a Dog. Little Gracie Acton, ag2d about three years, daughter of Mr. Herman Acton, was bitten by a dog shortly after 7 o’clock last night. While playing with a number of ebildren Gracie became thirsty and went into the yard of Mr. Robert Penn to get a drink of water. Mr. P2nn’s large St. Ber- nard dog was chained to a post, and the child went up to pet it. Hardly had she put her hand upon the dog when the brute made a spring, catching the child’s head between his front legs, and began biting har. Mrs. Penn heard the little girl's screams and came to her rescue, but did not succeed in getting her away from the dog before he had terribly lacerated her head. ‘The child was taken into the house and medical aid hastily summoned. In the meantime Officer Wilkerson put in an ap- pearance, and, upon the request of Mr. Penn, he killed the dog. The little girl is in a most serious condition, and it is not ex- pected that she will recover. General and Personal Notes. Mr. A. G.
