"Monkey ; Joe Committed . -Breskini Into Mr. J. H. to Jail for Walter's Residence Monday Afternoon. ; i.r -The onlv case to engage the atten tion of Mayor pro tern,. Hewlett yes terday was that against "Monkey Joe" alias Joe Hill, colored, "charged with breaking into the : residence of Mr. "Joseph H. Watters Monday after noon and stealing a quantity of silver ware. ' The investigation before ; the Mayor resulted in the commitment of Hill in default of a $200 justified bond, to ' await ' trial at the, October term of the . Circuit ' Criminal Court. Hill was arrested . early ? ;-. yesterday morning by Sergeant j Hewlett, who with the assistance of Capt Bob Green had previously on Monday evening located and re-captured the silverware. It appears that Hill carried away the silver, valued at about $25, and sold half of it to Geo.' Robeson, a . colored huckster at : the market, and tbe re mainder tq W. IL Carter," who runs a restaurant at the ; old ice house. He sold each lot for 23 cents. After he had been located on Monday evening, Ser geant Hewlett went off duty; donned a a citizen's suit and went out to try and locate his man. ; It was one o'clock in the morning when he located and cap tured Hill in Dross Neck. He was assisted in the arrest by. Policemen Whitehead and Toomer who were do ing patrol duty in that vicinity.; Hew lett has received many compliments on his detective work in f eriting out the case and Capfain Bob Green likewise, for his luck in recovering the silver so soon was quite phenomenal. Soon after the robbery had been discovered he met Mr. Watters, who was on his way to the home of an officer who is especially successful in running down cases of this sort. Mr.; Watters also asked the . services of Capt . Green. With the shrewdness that charac terizes a true officer Capt! Green went at once to the place where the thief would be likely to carry silverware for sale, namely, a restaurant, and in a short timer the greater part of the stolen goods was in the hands of the owner. The rest, had been locked up in a safe and could .not be had until yesterday morning, when bright and early Capt. Green went for the ,re- mainder .of the silverware. Long be fore1 breakfast he had restored it (to Mrs. Watters, who was delighted at the return of her silverware, which she valued most highly. FIREMEN'S LIBRARY NUCLEUS.

Policeman George came up about the time the fellow started off and chased the negro down the alloy between -t Front and Water streets.but he was not able to overhaul him. .
