A PnrlHlnu Burglary. tCopyrfo'it ' 1K89 lii/.mmw Gnnlon ltenntll.\ \ PAUIS , Juno 18. | New York Herald Cable Special to Tins Bun.l "When a burglar goes n-burgllng , Instead of basklne In the lun , his lifo Is sometimes not altogether n happy ono. " Instead of collaring the swag that is the object oi his covctousnosa , ho in torno cases , catches a Tartar. This , at any rate , is whut befell ono of the Bill Sykcs fraternity , In the small hours of Tuesday morning , nt the Villa Mnrgurlto , Hue d'Al- BUCC , Saint Germain , whore resides J. W. Whlto , of the Herald. Of late , White's professional duties have taken him away from home , frequently , and the house has been , ut these times , without masculine protection. The gentleman with the musk nnd dark lantern probably counted on this particular state of affairs to enable him to accomplish his nefarious task , with out too much opposition. Ho was nowovcr working In the dark , metaphorically , as well ps literally , for Whlto had suddenly re turned homo nnd was quietly slumbering nt the time when his uninvited visitor made his entrance by the ground floor window. Mrs. White was the first to obtain any inkling of the presence of a stranger lu the house. Shu hud been kept nwako by the late return homo of thu next door neighbors , and w.is Just commencing to doze oft when she heard what apparently was the noise of a window being opened. She scarcely paid uny attention to this , oven whoa she hoard steps coming up stairs. She felt no alarm for flho fancied that it was her husband's mother who was making her way to the next room in which her daughter slept , and who - had been 111 for some time past. She Judged it advisable , however , to w.iUe her husband , who wont to BCO If ho could bo of any service to his mother or daughter. Ho opened the bedroom door quietly , so as not to startle the old lady. It was ha who was startled as ho emerged Into the corridor , Tor a pair of horny hands grabbed him by the throat and a husky volco muttered : " 1 have you. " Instantly the truth flashed across White's mind. Tno corridor of thosuirwuy was In pitchy darkness , but the exclamation , "I have you , " und the deadly grasp around his throat wcro more than sufficient evi dence. This St. Germain Bill Sykcs had , how ever , made somewhat of n grave error. White is an athlete of no mean quality , ana It was ho who had the visitor in a twinkle. His main object was to pinion the fellow's arms so that if ho had any arms about him ho would bo unable to use them. Thls aftcr disengaging those uncomfortably pressing fingers from his neck , ho succeeded in doing. The burglar showed fight with a spirit wor thy of a better cause. Fortunately for Whlto his adversary's physical strength was notcqual to Ins courage , but us it was , the struggle was a severe one. For close upon twenty minutes thcro was u monkey nnd parrot time In the staircase of that St. Ger main villa. Desperation lent strength to the burglar , while Whlto felt that ho was fighting for his life nnd probably for the lives of those ho loved. For u time the antagonists swayed nnd staggered at the head of the stairs , and then the robber was lifted off his feet and foil backward down stairs , dragging his ad versary with him. The tumble was n violent ono , particu larly for the housebreaker , who was under most , and whose wind nud senses went on a voyage of discovery for n time. What with the contact with the hard flooring uud the crushing character of the way White came down upon turn , the game wus now in White's hands and before the gasping burg lar was in a position to know whut had struck him , ho wus seized by the scruff of his neck und the nether purl of his pants and lifted clean off the groundand then followed n crash of breaking glass and the burglar was hanging , head downwards , out of a window that looks on the lauding. Ills ankles were hold us in a vice by White's sinewy fingers. All this time Mrs. White's mother-in-law and her maid hud been ringing out cries upon the night air. Now there wont up shrieks more agonized and .moro full of terror In every accent than all the rest , gi "God in heaven , I'll die , I am killed , " yelled tha burglar. His position certainly wus not u pleasant ono. Ho was a irood twenty feet from ground , which was at this spot paved with Htoncs , which would have boon n hard test of oven u negro's cranium , much moro so for that of an Englishman. "What brought you horol" nslcod Whlto. A series of dashes would best represent the reply voucliHufed to this question , until the midnight depredator , either having ox- huustcd his stock of profuno language or having couio to the conclusion that it was not the intention to lot him drop Into the street , decided to speak in language suitable for a Christian's ears. At some stage of hla travels thu houso-brcakor must have kissed the blarney stone , for ho tried the effect of Halt cry. "You have saved my life. I like your face ; there Is something good in It. I will save your life lu return. Don't go down stairs ; my pals will Kill you. Only lot uio go und you will bo all right. " Whlto was sternly silent. Then the thief tried another tuck. "Oh , what a fool I huvo been , 1 let others persuade tno ; I was led gs'.ruy , they sent me up to sco if the coast wus cleur ; I wlnh I hud never done it. " All those disinterested lamentations were lost on Whlto , who wus now devoting himself - self to the task of quieting the ladles of the houso. Finally ho turned to the penitent thief , and aflor changing his grasp from tha man's ankles to tha hand which was raised to him , ho let the follow drop into the street , us easily us possible under clrcumstuncns. Just nt this was done u neighbor cauio run ning up , and thinking the burglar , who was lying on his back , whs hurt , Uo stooped to raise him , For lib pains this good Samari tan received a violent blow on a prominent facial ort-un. Ho had a plitol , however , and u sight ol tha barrel glistening in the lamp light cowed the thief , A urlvuto carriage cama along , nnd tha o\vnoa courteously placed the vehicle ut White's disposal for the purpose of con voying the prisoner to the nearest police sta tion. Not even the luxurious cushions thus provided for him prevented the prisoner from making unothor attempt to gain his liberty anil ho hanaoa the coachman one , straight from tha shoulder. The Gallic kick in tha sblr.s , by which the coachman roappndou , \YM , though not la accordunco vlth Quecnsborry rules , qulto excusa ble under the circumstances. Just ns ho carriage was driving off the guardians of the lives nnd property of the inhabitants of St. Germain appeared on the scone , as it s customary with Dogberrya the wltlo world over. The burglar , whoso misadventures mvo boon thus related , was lodged in Ver sailles prison to await his trial. Of the con- cdcrates , of whom ho spoke , nothing has > ccn scon or hoard , nnd possibly thov were nvcnted by the fertllo Imagination of Whlto's uninvited , but still very warmly volcomod ( rucst , Ih hope o' terrorizing hl3 captor into letting him off scott free.

Juno lS.1 : It Is generally believed hero that the visit of the secretary of the treasury to the white house to-morrow will bo followed by the appointment of n number of Important ofll- clals to places in or under the treasury de partment , ono of those will doubtless bo the superintendent of the bureau of engraving nnd printing. The presence of Captain Mere dith in this city and the some what mysterious activity of that gentleman throughout the day , leads to the Impression that ho has nt least received a definite Intimation that ho is to supersede Mr. Graves as the superinten dent of the bureau. Among the other im portant bureaus under the treasury In which there has been no changes thus far Is the coast survey. It was reported some weeks ago that this place waste to bo given to Prof. Gould , of Harvard. The delay In making the appointment , however , causes the Impression that thcro has beau a change in the programme as there Is no real reason why the ofllco should not bo trans ferred at any time. The present Incumbent Is not a scientist , but ho is mi excellent busi ness man , and bis appointment w.is one of the very test of Mr. Cleveland's selcctlo n. From a business nolnt of view it is deslrablo but not essential that this oftlce should bo filled by n business man ruthor than by a scientist , nud it is the president's desire to find a man who combines the two qualifica tions. The ofllco carries a salary of $0,003 , and as the "advice nnd consent" of the senate is not necessary the Incumbent is not in dread of senatorial rejection. An other important treasury position to bo filled by President Harrison is the bureau of nav igation. The very name of this ofllco would suggest a suilor as the head of it. The bu reau was created during PrcsidtJnt Arthur's term nnd ho appointed an old sou captain named P.itton. President Cleveland did not follow the pxumplo of his predecessor , but chose a man from Maine whoso chief claim to fnmo lay in the dirty work which ho did against Mr. Blulno in 1SS4. There are several applicants for this plncu nnd up to a short tiuio ago it was thought Cautain Bates , of Buffalo , was n ' 'sure win ner. " Lately , Bates chances have seemed to wane , and now it is thought the place will go to some ono else. It will doubtless bo filled by the ena of the month , nnd it is ono of the positions which the initiated expect will be settled to-morrow. Secretary Windoin Is understood to bavo a number of customs and internal revenue collectors rcuuy , und some of the most Important of these ofllccs uro down on the political quid tiunca , lists as certain to be filled as a result of the regular meeting between the president and the secretary of the treasury. In an ticipation of the treasury changes to bo ex pected to-morrow , the president's callers were more numerous nnd perslatunt than usual to-day. Candidates and congressmen followed each other in almost endless procession , each with his tale to pour into the ear of the president. General Harrison listened with his accustomed pa tience , but of course it was impossible for him to recall one-half of the gentle murmurings - ings which were poured upon him , and yet every individual caller doubtless thought that ho was making n profound impression. It frequently happens that the callers delay business instead of promoting it. Every congressman seems bound to have a last word , even though , as often happens , the appointing power has decided upon Just the man that the congressman wants. A case in point came up u day or two ago. An offi cial had been appointed under the depart ment of justice Just ns n certain congress man was filing some more papers in Attor ney-General Miller's oflleo. As ho loft the building that member learned that the office had been filled. Ho did not stop to inquire who was the winning man before ho began to swear about the haste dUnlayed when the attorney-general know that he had more papers to file. The attorney-general was at lunch. Ten minutes after the congressman had relieved his mind ho discovered that it was his man who hud won the race. Ho has not been so hasty in pronouncing judgment since. It is probable that many of tno de layed appointments , beside these under the treasury department , will bo made within the next ton days. The president and his secretaries will want to oloso up as nearly as posbiblo with the fiscal-year and , besides , several of them will start on brief vacations within the next two weeks. THE OHIO OUIIEHXATOllIAL COXIEST. Among the politicians now in the city the chief tonic of discussion aside from ofllco getting is the gubernatorial contest in Ohio. If the talk ono hears on the streets is to bo considered a guido the nomination of both candidates is already practically settled , Ohio republicans are almost unanimously of the opinion that Governor Foraker will bo rcnomlnatccl , und Ohio democrats are all of one mind. They insist there is only ono man In the race , and ho Is ox-Congressman Camp bell. All ugrco that the contest will bo a very spiritcu one , nnd that the democrats will use all tholr resources to elect tholr man , not only for the honors of victory , but because of the moral effect which they ex pect to derive from the victory , it is ox- pcrtcd that the new chairman of the national democratic ; committee , Mr. Brlce , will show his hand in the contest. TAXXEK ABUSED. Pension Commissioner Tanner is coming in for moro than his share of ubusc. Lust week two of the clerks In his olllco wcro al lowed to resign , both of whom were from Brooklyn. Ono of the pair was the com. mlssloner's private secretary , nnd ho was erven n place on the special agents force In the interior aenartincnt and assigned to duty In Montana. The place thus vacated was given by the commissioner to Ills daughter nnd the abuse of the opposition papers be gun. Yet this action was taken for the pur pose of shielding the family of the man who hud boon associated with hlui for years from the disgrace which ho had brought upon them and himself. To-day it was learned that the other whoso resichation was do- mundcd was of the same cloth. The private becretary was ullowca to resign because ho attempted to enter into improper relations with ono of the lady clerks. The other man was alleged to have abandoned his legitimate wife nnd to have left her In an insane asylum while ho maintained relations with another woman. Commissioner Tanner hus declined to say a word to anyone as to the reasons which in. duced him to part witli the services of tlio two Brooklyn men. Ills silence is to his credit , but ho Is receiving columns of abuse , ' : lpally because ho allowed these men to go and appointed as Ills confidential secretary his own daughter in whom ho could Implicitly trust.
