The largest lecture audience over as

At twenty minutes to nine the speaker
appeared upon the platform. Ho was
greeted by prolonged nnd continued clap
ping of hands , and without any formal
ntroduction began Ins lecture entitled
"Orthodoxy. "

musters , upon the backs of whose

work. Mr. Ingorsoll here took up the

Lnat night about 12:30 : the alumboraoE
Oouornl Lowe were disturbed by foot
falls in hii dining-room , and the Bound
of dishes dropping upon the floor. Ho
rose from his bed quietly , nnd , in
forming hia hired man that aomothing
waa wrong below , told him to stand by
; ho window of the dining-room on tha
outside. Mr. Lnwo then wont into the
apartment whcro the noiaca were hoard
with pistol iii hand. The room waa dark
nnd nobody wns coon. Thinking aorao-
ono might bo there ho commanded him
o hold up h'is hands nnd the reply came
rom n man in the darknosa tli.it hia
innda were nlrendy up. Mr. Lowe then
old him to open the window and got out.
So noon ns the burglar hnd put his head
hrough the window ho was seized by the
lired man aud'n doapcrato otrugglo on-
niod. The burghr wna finally secured
mud nnd foot by the two men. The cries
of the women who heard the encounter
were hoard by Policemen Bellamy nnd
iVhitmaok on the corner of Dodge and
Sixteenth nnd by Ofllcor Conuiolc in the
) olico atutiou , who ran to Mr. Lowo'a aa-
liatnnco nnd afterward brought the burg-
nr to the jail , where hu gave the name o
James Hng4u ,
The burghr ia ono of the tramp spo-
iioa , nnd when caught had on nothing

) lccding considerably from cuts received
n the struggle. The jailor says hia f.ico-
a familiar and that ho has served a term
or vagrancy iu tliii county jail.
The burglar , to tflect an entrance , had

> ho door from the inside. After entering
10 raised a window aa n moans of exit iu
CIIBO of nn emergency , but wna tnken by
Rurpriao nnd could not mnko his cscapo.
When caught ho waa loading himself
