BURGLAR CAUGHT Negro Who Burglarized Mi Young's Houe Arrested MAN ED LEE JOHNSON Oeteotlva Claver Work oa the Part af OffietrTbomnaai Aatlattd byOftloer .. Alderaoa iariap- CenfaaMd After Hie Arrest. Officer Mont Thompson, assisted by Officer T. J. Alderson. did one of the cleverest pieces of detective work,, this morning, seen, in Ba'leigb for many a day. A a result of their efforts 'Lee Jordan, a negro, is now in the elation aouse and ha will be arraigned, and seat jn to oourt on the charge of hurgisry, it Is a Alain case and if Lee; doo not "get it in the neck" then be will proba- oly have to spend the remainder of ms Jays in the state prison. Last Monday night Mr. Henry Young .eft his home on Morgan street and went .o church. When he left he accompa nied his wife across the street to a mfghbor's to spend the time during his absence. When Mr. xoung returned about nine o'clock he saw a light in his aouse and supposed that Mrs. oung aad returned home without waitim; foi aim to coil by for her. However, be aw the light moving from room to room ind this excited his suspicion so h? went over to the neighbor s to see if ,nn. young had left. He found her still .here so he hastened over to his liouse, rhe burglar evidently tied on lu proacli. Mr. Young found the huse .n confusion. Clothing was scattered on the floor and the rooms had been ransacked. About 5-iu , i wnt)i oi clothing had been taken and also a pocket book with S5 in money. Mr. Young borrowed a pistol and examined the premises. He found a hatchet and a bar of iron which had been used to break into the house. He also found a bat with Uev. J. L. Foster's name in it. There was no other clue to the burglar. The case was placed in officer f homo- son s hands. He had Officer Alderson to assist him and they went to work. ufneer Thompson found that u negro named Lee Jordan bad been loafing around the power house for a few days but had not been there since Monday. He then invctftiraite-!. mnit n ruining the suspicions of anyone, where Jordan stayed at 'the same time In an adroit maimer trying to find out if any one had lost a hatchet. He saw a hatchet at a uegroe's house exactly like the oiie used in the burglary and found out from the owner that MaTy Lee, who also lives on the bowery, had a hatchet like that one. He then found that Lce Jordan pome times stayed at Mary Lee's. Officer Thompson wmA there before day this morning pretending to be looking for another negro. He could not find .Tor don then, but he found him there this morning at ten o'clock and nabbed him. Jordan confessed the crime when tak en to the station house. Jordan was alone when he 'committed the crime. He is a negro boy about twenty-one years old and has served a term In the work house. Every stolen article was recovered ex cept the $50 which he had spent. The hat the negro had was stolen from Mr. Foster some five months since. Two things Raleigh has to perfection (1) a splendid police force (however, the city needs a larger night force), 2) an unexcelled fire department The force has never done better work than during the post two years under Chief Nor wood. The ltaUsigh police force should -be 'in creased. Officer Thompson should be made city detective iun ... . ( I of police work. Ralcdgh haa some, other expert detectives on the force bus- Officer Thompson has had more experience in the work. KUL1NO ON CLOTHES. WASHINGTON, April 7.

If ail the applications are grant!, and they continue being made as rapidly as they have been, a goodly proporiioi or the men who enlisted lor the war with Spain will soon be on the pension roll of Cbe government. From ofnciul fig ures at the tension Bureau it :s shown that the number of applicants tor pea sion have been comparatively enormous. Out of hve regiments, which i;ad the peusiou processiou, there have aireaoy oeeu hied 1733 applications for lention. These regiments and the number of ap plicants from each follow: Thirty-'ourtb Aiicliigan, 3'JX: 1'irst Distract of Col umbia, b32; Eighth Ohio, sometimes call- third Michigan 319, and the Sec-ud ed "the .President's own," 349; Thlrty- Alassachusctta, 317. Ex-Gov. and Ex-Congressman Mc- Creary, of Ky., was in Washington this week, lie said of the iwiun.-ul iiutl'iok in his state: "A p is go ing on between the three aspirants for the governorship, but it matters not to which the nomination falls he will be elected by 25,000 to 30,JS votes. We lost the State in 189U, hut next year Air. Bryau or whoever is the standard oiarer or the party will get Kentucky's electoral rote. 1 presume that Mr. Bryan will be the nominee again oo pretty much the same platform, although there will no doubt also be stroug de clarations against trusts and against imperialism. The republicans will al most ctirtainily renominate Mcluniey, so we slum uave a campaign pretty much on the lines of 1890." Representative Meyer of Louisiana, said of the proposition that we should exchange the Philippine Islands for the British West indies, which ori;.n;ited in the Leeward Islands, and wnlch has been much discussed in Washingtrai this week: "As long as we are in the busi ness of buying and seiding and trading in sovereignty, 1 should prefer, oilier things btiug equal, to bold possessions uear the United States ratner 'hail at a distance." Representative Livingston. of Georgia, who would prefer that this Koverument should pay somebody to take the Philippines off its hands, raiher than keep them, thinks the suggestiuii is feasible, and that if properly ap proached England would agree to take them, although Germany would prob ably make a strong protest agaiust their being transferred to England. Mr. Liv ingston says that all we need in the Philippines is a coal and naval station, and believes that we shall regret it if we keep morei than that. Admiral Schley says the swap will never be made for the very good reason that England would not agree to R. RAILROAD KOTES. The Manufacturers' Record on North Carolina Railroads.
