The Burglars Were Scared Away, but Took With Them a Purse and Other Articles. A daring burglary was committed at the residence of Mrs. Frank, 140 Twelfth | street, Monday night, while the family was at dinner, and detectives are now try- | ing to find a clew to the burglars. From the mode of entrance adopted by | the burglars the police are satisfied they are the same two men who have been oper- | ating successfully for the past two or three | months. Between 6and 7 o’clock Monday night | Mrs, Frank and her family sat down to | dinner in the dining-room, whicn is in the | rear of house.

The bureau drawers had been | pulled out and their contents scattered over the floor, and the bedclothes were aiso, on the floor, showing that the visi- | tors had suspected that something of value was concealed in the bed. | - A silver watch and gold chain, a new | Bat-and several articles of jewelry were | found to be missing.

Senators and l;;vrex!nlflli\'ts Prnmlsei the Merchants’ Association to Work for the Nic: ua Canal. Realizing the vast advantage that would | accrue to the industries of this coast by | the construction of the Nicaragua Canal, the Merchants’ Association of this City, on December 12, 1896, sent to each of the | Senators and Congressional delegation | from this State a copy of a resolution | adonted at a previous meeting, requesting them to continue their efforts to have | the canal constructed under American | control. In response communications have been received from Senators Whiteand Perkins and Congressmen Maguire, Loud and Me- Lacblan. They show conclusively that | immense significance of the project is realized by the writers, and that may be depended upon 1o doall in | their power in favor of the measure. Congressman Loud says: *I shall do all thatlies in my power to secure the early passage of said measure.” McLachlan’s reply was to the same effect but longer. *I am heartily in favor | of the passage of the bill providing for the | construction of the Nicaragua Canal,” he | says, “‘and I will do everything in my r to secure its passage at the present session.’’ Maguire’s response was rather senten- tious. After acknowledging the receipt of the | r he stated that the subject under consideration would *receive due and fa- vorable consideration at the proper time.” | Senators White and Perkins promised todo their utmost for the bill, and the former puinted with pride to the fact that he had done in the past 2s he would do in the future—*‘his best to advance the pro- ject.” i ———— A Shoe Patent Suit. An action in equity was begun in the United States Circuit Court vesterdsy by the Pliable Shoe Company of Kittery, Me., against George Bryant and Alice E. Bryant.

J0EPH MURPHY AFPEARS Although Not Quite Recivered the Comedian Keeps His Promise. Phi A Good-Sz d Aulience Assemb es ntl the Co umbia Theater to Hear “Sh.ua Rhue.” In spite of having scarcely recovered | from his attack of grippe, Joseph Murphy Columbia Theater last night. His recent illness was scarcely perceptible in the comedian’s speech or appearance, although his voice was a little weak. Several mem- bers of the company, however, were evi- dently recovering from severe colds. The play was ““Shaun Rhue,” a stirring Irish drama, which gives Murphy excel- lent opportunities for exhibiting his qual- ities both of pathos and humor. The audience laughed responsively at all the jokes and bright, witty sayings, and ap- plauded the pathetic scenes. Murphy showed his old-iime spirit of fun and acted very touchingly in the scene when, as Larry Donovan, he says farewell to his mother's grave. When Larry dis- guises to the undoing of his enemies the comedian assumed the travesty so clev- erly that very few people in the audience recognized him in the assumed character till e threw off his disguise. The weak spot in Murphy’s impersona- tion of Larry Donovan was that his make-up was not youthful enongh to give the true impression of the dasuing Irish y. The support afforded the comedian was on the whole satisfactory. Harry Gorrein made, a dashinz Gerald Cavanagh and Jobn Daley was thoroughly effective as Patrick' Cavanagh; John W. Burton'was becumingly stern as Morris Donovan, and Charles Beaudt and William T. Clark made the villains duly detested by the audience. Miss Emma Italia, who played Tim, the waif, had an appealingly forlorn make-up, but her reading of the character was alio- gether too feminine. Miss Carolyn Elberts and Miss Jennette Farrell were satisfac- tory as the two heroines. There was a fair-sized audience, which would no_doubt haye been larger if abso- lute ceriainty had prevailed as to joseph Murphy’s appearanc ? B e Young Jimmy Fair's Estate. . Charles S.

Knocked Out by the Supreme Court It Will Lease a Happy Hunting Grounds District-Attorney H S. F o'e and His Engineers Wiil Visit the Blockaded Sloughs. The Sportsmen’s Protective Association held an enthusiasiic meeting last evening in K. of R. B. Hall. Questions relative to preserves and slough blockades were discussed at length, and Attorney Schmidt of the association stated that owing to the present condition of affairs he believed it would be a foolish move of the association to continue the fight against the preserve system any longer, as the Supreme Court hadina measure decided that question beyond all doubt. In his address to the association Mr. Schmidt said that as long as there was hope he was in favor of fighting agamst the introduction of preserves, but £o long as the Supreme Court of this State has in- timated that it would decide against the aims of the association if called uvon to pass judgment on the guesiion of sait- marsh preserves, the only hope left for the members was to dig down into their pockets and lease,as others have done and are doing, a tract of land for shooting purposes. 7 After considerable discussion the associ- ation reluctantly decided to acknowledge its defeat at the handsof the Supreme bench and decided to lease lands suitable for duck-shooting purposes. The following committee on preserves was appointed: M. H. Sweeney, W. J. Abern and Charles Fitzsimmons. They will report at the next meeting of the as- sociation. The association thought that some changes were necessary in the fish and game laws, and it was resolved that its attorneys be instructed to make the ne- cessary alterations and forward the same to the vice-president at Sacramento. The additions suggested are that any person found with trout in possession less than 6inches in length at any season of the year will be guilty of a misdemeanor, etc.; that English snipe be included in the law which protects game birds during the breeding season; that the duck-shoot- ing season close on March 15, instead of February 15, as it 1s at present. This latter suggestion came from sev- eral members, who stated that the canvas- back and bluebill were very late arrivals from the north, and the closing of the season in Kebruary shut off the best shooting of the year. Mr. Truman said the farmers were very anxious that the duck-shooting season be' prolonged, as certain varieties of wild ducks were very partial to the growing grain. L2 annual election of officers resulted as follows: President, William J. Abern; vice-president, Alexander Trumau; sec- retary-treasurer, Charles Kitzsimmons; directors—M. . Berges, Frauk E.

A NEVADA MINE Sample of Ore Surpassing That of the Great Anaconda. rs of a Modest Silver rty Excited .by a *Chance Find. Eager fo Investizate When Weather P.rmits to See If They Owa a Bonanza. A wonderfully rich prospect of pure copper has been discovered in one of the brauches of a silver mine in Nevada, owned partly by Dr. W. H. McLaughlin of this City. The find was a pure accident and might never have been noticed but for the fact that the bit of rock samples containing the copper happened to be in- vestigated by Dr. McLaughlin along with other samples that had been sent him by his three partners, who alone are working the mine. They had sent rock from dif- ferent parts of the main sbatt and from its branches. One bit supposed to contain bismuth was particularly marked for his notice. He examined it carefully. He cracked it open with a hammer and saw to his surprise that it fe!l ail apart. A more careful scrutiny of the fragments showed bits of metallic copper and he continued his examinations. Analyses showed that the sample contained traces of most all the metals except gold. There was silver, copper, lead, bismuth and a number of others. He found that there was 90 vper cent metaliic copper in the sample. Naturally he was surprised, for metallic copper has seldom if ever, it seems, been found in Nevada. But 90 per cent would, if there is more where this came from, mean s | mine richer than a gold mine, a veritable bonanza, for 14 per cent copper pays, and copper mines where the copper is easily reduced are extremely profitable. Dr. McLaughlin was not inclined yes- terday at first to discuss tbe find. He knows too little of the extent of the ledge, even if there be one, and he and his asso- ciates want to keep the location a secret until they can ascertain if they really Lave a bonanza. Then they purpose to take up the surrounding claims, for there is much land still unclaimed about there. Their silver mine, according to Dr. Mec- Laughlin’s not very definite description, is situated about 143 miles northwest of Reno. At presentitis difficult to reach unless things are frozen over. It is far from the railroad. “I am going up there to-morrow,” said Dr. McLaughlin yesterday, “if I get a telegram from my partners saying travel- ing is possible. We want to take no chances of having some one get in and do some locating abead of us; but it is safe, for nobody but my three partners know where it is. If there be nothing in it, all right; if there is a good ledge it will be worth more than a gold mine, because there is such a demand for copper, and it is s0 easy t» work. “The sample is like the metallic copper of the great Anaconda mine at Butte. It was found justin a little ‘pot hole’ in an incline branching off from a 150-foot side drift from the main shaft, which is 200 feet deep. We have had the jnine a couple of years, but have only just begun to take ore out. It is silver, ana not particularly rich. “I was the most surprised man in the world when I found pure copper in the sample, and so were my partners when I sent word to them. “If there is a ledge there like the sample it will be the ricnest copper mine in the world. If there is nothing to it, that’s all. We will know inside of a few weeks.” NEW, TO-DAY—DRY GOODS BLACK AND COLORED “DRESS GOOD ! THREE SPECIAL BARGAINS!
