Dayton. Outo. August WheLTel, Si.ringrield coiorsd man, was arresteil and loi-kisl in the smtion-house at a late hour tonight for burglary and theft at the residenre of Judge W.D. McKemy oil the night of August 1, when jewelry. scal.skiu sacks and runs valued at were stolen.

The Judge and family were absent at Chicago at the time, and nothing was know of the burglary until their return. eht days later. Any clews that nuiv have existed vanished in this interval, and the polii-e were at absolute loss In the hunt for any trial left b) the burglars. Nevertheless the difneultii-s that surrounded the affair Induced Chief Furred to tiend every energy in delis ting and running down the criminal. Success HHII l.HSri.Y ATTKN'PKK Tillt KKruKT.

He commti ated ith Chief McKcnna. of that place, uud was warmly uldeil by the Spritnrflcld Chief In the hunt for tbe unkrnwn colored man. Agencies were put into active play that finally landed Wra. Whetsel, a Springfield colored man, behind the bars as the burglar.

Whetzel came here about two months ago and was engaged on street work. He and a white woman, whom be call his wife, but WHOSg real sit.wc SSH Is Mrs. Reno Morgan, occupied two rooms in a colored iuarter. The two were routed out of bed to-night hen the Chief and officers raped for admission at the rooms. W'hetzel and his wife were at once hustled off to the station-house and the officers began tbe search for the stolon goods.

Some glassware, table linens and silverware were readily discovered in the two roomp. It required patience and a thorough investigation of the bed clothing and carpets -before the Jewelry was found. The discovery of tl.e sealskinn wraps, however, was the signal lierforniunce of the raid. Satisfied that the articles were in hiding about the premises tbe officers began sounding the walls. This led to the hiding place of the sealskin', 'file burglars had torn away a portion of the lathingand plastering between two joints and made this place the depository of the wraps, which were carefully stowed away in pillow slip.

Thepa. was then ran fully recovered with wall paper, and the hiding place was thus so skillfully protected from the casual eye that it might have remained unobserved for a century. CARTER HARRISON Will Si son Marry Mi "a Howard, of trlean. ChiiIaoo. 111..

When Mayor Koch made his appearance he was greeted with cries of "bread" and "work." Several of the workmen made speeches arid demanded that the city officials go to Washington to have the law which made hard times repealed. They said they must have work or their families ould starve. Mayor Koch advised them to return to their homes and procure work whereverthey could.

He said the city would oou have money enough to prosecute public improvements atid give many men work. The men then retired. On the way to the Court-house tlie crowd looted a candy-stand and appropriated some of a fruit merchant's stock.

Theb nit tuber was reinforced by otliers until the crowd bad swelled to nearly 2t strong. About twenty-five Canadians who bad recently crossed the bonier were at work unloading the barge. The flrst intimation of danger they bad was when a shower of stones, pieces of furcate slag and hits of coal fell in tbelr midst. Many were bit. Those at work on the dock rled among tlie piles of lumber which are plentiful in that vicinity, and escaped.

Those on the boat WKET TKAFTED. A few succeeded hi reaching the docks, but most of them were held at bay. Soma carried revolvers. These were immediately drawn and a usilade as begun on the attacking party. The determined front shown by tbe non-unionist checked for a moment the onslaught.

Tbe bone was splintered and be may lose his leg. Two others were bit, one being shot through tbe upper portion of bis srui. tbe other through tbe calf of th leg.
