J KELLER LOSES A LARGE SUM Four Thousand Dollars Worth of Oitj Warrants Stolen from Him , SNEAK THIEF DOES A VERY GOOD JOB Tin Trramire Ilor Iteinnveil friint tlu Safe Saltirilay M lit anil Itx I.IINN Not Uliieovereil Until I.iitc on Monday Morning. Samuel S. Keller , the Broadway furniture dealer , discovered yesterday morning thai hu had been robbed of a largo number ol city warrants , of the value of about $4,000 and other valuable papers. The warrants nnd papers were contained in n tin box which was abstracted from the safe In tin otllco of his furniture store. Circumstance ! would Indicate that the robbery was per. pctrated Saturday night Just before th < store was closed for the day nnd whllo Mr Keller nnd his clerks were busily engngei In attending to customers. The robbery ii believed to be the work of a profe slona crook or else some one acquainted with tin store nnd Mr. Keller's method of dolni business. As the Rufo hail not been un locked since It was closed Saturday nigh there seems to be very little doubt but tha the box containing tbo warrants and pa ptrs was abBtranted some time Saturda ; night. It has always been Mr. Keller's cus torn to keep the box at the hank , whcr < ho does business , but as he needed some o the papers Saturday ho took the box to hi olHco and placed It In his safe , intcndlni to take It back to the bank yesterday morn ing. It was when he went to the safe fo this purpose- that he discovered his loss. I Saturday night Mr. Keller's sou William I who acts as bookkeeper and cashier , let the olllco about 7 o'clock , which was earllc than usual , as ho was going to the expo I sltlon with a party of friends. About. o'clock that ovenlng there were a numbe of customers In the store and Mr. Kolle I and his clerks were all In the front par attending to them. This left no one nca the ofllco. Mr. Keller had occasion to g i to the ofllco to write a receipt when h j noticed ono of the small drawers of th I safe lying on the floor. At that tlmo h had an Idea that someone had attempted t rob the safe and had been interrupted , Ho gave the Inside of the safe a hasty lee over , but did not perceive that the tin bo was missing. Being busy ho did not pa any further attention to the matter an when the store was closed nt 10 o'clock th safe was locked by Leo Kstcs , one of th clerks. The back -'door of the atoro leading int i a small yard 'opening on Pierce street wn open and Mr. Keller Is of the opinion tlir I the thief entered that way. In addition 1 the city warrants , which are made payabl to bearer and easily negotiated , the bo contained a number of notes secured b mortgages , certificates of stock in the Od Fellows' building , Mr. Keller's life insui anco policies , deeds and other papers , mo : of which are of no value to anyone excci the owner. A list giving the number < the city warrants stolen was prepared yes terday and sent 'to the authorities of n the principal towns throughout the counti and it Is hoped that the thief will 1 captured when he attempts to dispose < them. i'itoniii\r.s OF CITY cou.vci Contrary to Cuxtoai City Fntlici Meet on a Holiday. ( Contrary to precedence Labor day was n observed by the city fathers and the re ; ular monthly meeting if the city coum was held last night. Aldermen Atklr Chrlstcnsen and Metealf were not preset It having been generally understood that soon as the bills and salaries had been c lowed an adjournment would bo taken un this evening , when the balance of the bu Int-ss was to bo disposed of. The alderm present , however , decided that as they h ; nothing else to do they might as well dl pose of the business on hand , which th did. The proceedings will probably have bo ratified at the next meeting , as City A torney Wudsworth gave It as his opinii that It was doubtful If the council con meet and do business on a legal holiday. In accordance with the new ordlnan all bills properly chargeable to the genet fund were by resolution ordered paid frc the police fund , with the exception of t bill for the electric lighting of the ell which the contract specially provides sh ; bo pahl by warrant. Alderman Casper raised an objection the payment of three bills presented by t police department. The bills were for tel grams , cost of photographing two prisonc for the rogues' gallery and for the fc . j for the chief's horse. On being put to t . I vote the motion to order the bills paid w . j lost , Alderman Saylcs voting against . i There being only live members present ; j required a full vote to carry the motion , j Police Judge Aylcsworth asked that , j bo allowed to draw $300 of the $300 due h : ; ! on October 1 and the request was granted !

On recommendation of the committee whom the matter was referred the city ma shal was instructed to notify the Unli " j Pacific and Terminal railroads to plai I their crossing between tfte tracks on Ten | street and Union avenue within twen 1 days. Property owners representing 2114 ft frontage presented a petition asking th Harrison street bo ordered paved frc , Washington avenueto Ilcnton street exte i slon. A remonstrance from property ew ers representing about SSO feet was nl presented. The city attorney was i structed to draw up a resolution orderl f the paving of the street to be submltt t nt the next meeting , s Alderman Cntwr called attention to t a fact that considerable conudalnt was ma s about the manner In which express wa o uns "loafed for business" on Broadway t J , twecn Main nnd Sixth streets , much to t f Inconvenience of the traveling public. Afl | considerable discussion during which It w i , ' suggested that Scott and North Mn I streets bo designated as the streets whi 0 express wagons should stand , the matter v 0 finally left to the city marshal to reguli ' ' as he deemed best. ' At the suggestion of Alderman Johns I ' n the city marshal was Instructed to not I the abut'tlng ' property owners on the e J side of North Klghth street between Bro : way and Mynster street to repair the sii walk where needed. Colonel W. K. Baker , chairman of Bourd of County Supervisors , addressed council on the matter of opening a r < through the northwest part of the city Rockford township , and suggested a refer for the road. His suggestion was made w a view of using the city's portion of county rend fund for the purpose. The matter was referred to the committee of the whole and the mayor to name a day when the committee shall meet and Inspect the proposed route. The city marshal was Instructed to notify property owners to discontinue throwing refuse Into the alleys. The council adjourned to next Monday night. STOI.KM \ollfo to tlio I'nlillo.

The Tribune says : An accident has occurred on the battleship Iowa in dry dock No. 3 nt the Brookljn navy yards. It Is reported that the engine rooms of the Iowa have been partly flooded by the entrance of water through an open seacock or cocks as the ship was being floated. As near as could be learned the officials got ready to float the Iowa In the dry dock where It has been for the last three or four.days nnd the valves in the caisson at the end of the dry dock were opened. The water poured In through the valves and nt least one of the seacocks or Injection valves In the Iowa's hull was cither open or Insecurely fastened , so that the force from the outside pushed the cock- valve back and the water gushed Into the hull of the vessel. As soon as those on board the Iowa discovered that water was entering the ship a signal was given to close the caisson valves , and this was done with as great promptness as possible. Meanwhile there was sufficient water In the dock to enter the engine room of the battle ship , as It was Impossible to promptly force the cock shut while the water was going in. As soon as possible the cocks were closed and an examination made of the damage. Just what M-'s amounts to has not been learned. EDITORS FLO [ TO DENVER Special Trill 11 AVlileli I'IINNOI !

( Special. ) By far the most Important convention of the Episcopal diocese of Iowa for Tany years will bo held nt Davenport on Tiurdny , September C. H Is a upeclal convention called for the purpose of electing a bishop to succeed the late Bishop Perry. The sit uation Is peculiar nnd in many respects the convention will more nearly rcbumblc a. political convention than n meeting of churchmen for the election of n bishop. So fnr as can bo determined at the present time the choice of u bishop UPS between Rev. Dr. Edsall of Chicago and Rev. Dr. Green of this city , with Dr. Green appar ently in the lead. Immediately after the death of Bishop Perry a meeting of the standing commit tee was called and Dr. Green was unan imously chosen < to take charge of the ad ministration of the utlalrs of the diocese until a new bishop should bo chosen. He accepted the call and has worked most ardently over since , visiting , with the ex ception of a few of the larger parishes , every parish In the state of Iowa and doIng - Ing a great deal of work In the various missions of the state. His name had been mentioned prominently for the last six years in connection with the proposed as sistant bishop for the diocese and It was naturally supposed that ho would ho the choice of many for bishop. Dr. Green re alized the delicate position ho was placed [ In , but went ahead witu the work of the I diocese. All went along harmoniously for a time. Then two or three of the leading news papers of itho state commenced a spirited fight against him. These attacks evidently emanated from his enemies In the church. On August 13 ho Issued the following open letter to the church of Iowa : The events of the last few days make It necessary that I chotlld break a carefully prescribed slleuco nnd make u personal statement. The ostensible movement In favor of "a man outside the diocese" In the approachIng - Ing Episcopal election seems to have degen erated into a newspaper propogandn. On paper is printing dally a column of evidently Inspired matter filled with cheap political gossip nnd teeming with personali ties nnd insinuations. In at least one in stance , to my personal knowledge , a man , non-resident In a town , has written a news paper communication for the evident pur pose of creating a false impression as to the sentiment of the parish from which his letter was written. I cannot bo a party to such methods , even to the extent of nn acknowledged opposition. To mo the honor of the church of God is too holy and the dignity of my own ministry Is too sacred to be dragged In the dust of newspaper controversy and cheap political agitation. I would not accept the Episco pate of Iowa , If it was offered to me , at the expense of such a scandal to the church anil to religion as such methods will Insure. I have reiterated my conviction that no man should be a candidate in this election. I have asked no man In this ytate for his support. I have sought the vote of no parish In the diocese. But I have n right to dictate , at least to Eomo degree , the UK. that shall be made of my name. Simply anc absolutely I withdraw my name from all discussion In connection with this election. I shall proceed with the work of the ad ministration of this diocese with which I have been entrusted. I shall do that work as always , to the best of my power. I an satisfied with the vfrdlet if that work shal bo well and honorably done. The newspaper controversy came to nn end with this letter , but the tlmo since then has been filled with Incessant let ter writing and personal work. The Cedar Rapids delegation will go to Davenport and support their rector with all their might and hone o have the support of many of the strongest churchmen In the state. Of the clergy of the dloceso there will be about forty In attendance upon the con vention , including the rectors and the mls- i slonaries. Of the lay delegates there will bo a much larger number , Including in the list many of the most prominent people of the state In business nnd professional life. WIM.
