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

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
! I The Invitations to the mayor nnd cl
I ' council to attend the meeting at Marsha
) | town , October 12 and 13 , called for t
> | purpose of forming a state municipal leag
was accepted.
I On the suggestion of the mayor , the pc
[ mlt granteil a man named Reynolds
3 j operate a lunch car' on Ilroadway was i
I voked. This was done In order that He
nolds should comply with the city ordlnar
3 and pay n license.
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.

FLOOD ENGINE ROOM OF IOWA

llry lliiL-k.
NEW YORK , Sept. 5. 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.

CEDAR RAPIDS , In. , Sept. C. ( 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.
