Tapped the Till. Albert Hoffman walked into Frank Richter's saloon at the corner of South avenue and Grand street yesterday morning and called for a glass of cider. While the proprietor was in the cellar getting the cider, Hoffman went behind the bar and tapped the till. He took 8 box containing $65, and ran down the street with it. Richter did not know Hoffman, and reported the matter to Chief Hayden, who dispatched Detective Dukelow on the case.
The officer at once suspected Hoffman, whom he he had arresied twice before on the same charge, and started out in search of him. About 4 o'clock, after a hard chase, Detective Dukelow cornered Hoffman in a shed and locked him up. Hoffman had spent all but $32 for clothing. Officer Dukelow's work was most creditable, and he naturally feels a little proud of his capture. Concert at Mumford.

Burglary at West Henrietta. The residence of Morris 8. Jackson, at West Henrietta, was entered by burglars early yesterday morning and a quantity of silverware stolen. Entrance was effected by tearing off a wire screen from the conservatory window off from the dining room. Mr.
Jackson keeps twenty or thirty cows and this warm weather he milks them, very early mornings. He got up about o'clock yesterday morning and went to the barn, leaving a light, turned down low, burning in the bedroom. When Mrs. Jackson arose about two hours afterward the lamp, still burning, stood in the middle of the parlor floor, with the family photograph album beside it. A hurried seach revealed the screen torn from the window and the silverware gone.
There is no clue to the burglars. A Target Shoot. The City Cadets, under the command of Captain Chatfield, held their annual target shoot at Lakeside yesterday. Following is a list of the prize winners: First class -First prize, C. F.

SHERIFF HANNAN'S DILEMMA The Manner in Which Many WellKnown Rochesterians Enjoyed Themselves at the Monroe Commandery Picnic Yesterday. When the members of Monroe Commandery start out to have a good time they generally have it, and their picnic of yesterday at the Newport House was no exception to rule. Sir knights and their wives, to the number of about two hundred, including number of Cyrene Commandery men, joyed themselves at the bay during the aftera noon and evening, a considerable proportion driving down, although of course the greater part went by rail and boat.
The first detatchment, including Sheriff Hannan, emipent commander, and the Arbuckle Military Band, which furnished the music, went down on the 1 o'clock train, taking the steamer N. H. Galusha from the Sea Breeze. By the time everybody had greeted smiling Landlord Sours and said that it was a fine day for a picnic the really began. It was plain to be seen second boatload arrived, and then the mauy of the members of the two commanderies had been telling great tales of their prowess as ball players, and that the question of the relative merits of the two organizations would not be settled without wearying exertion and profuse perspiration.
Accordingly two nines were formed from the many eager volunteers who presented themselves, and here is a list of the players: Cyrene--Cole, catcher; Pratt, third base; Peshine, pitcher; Cary, left field: Fraser, second Myers, first base: Powers, shortstop; Haskin, center field; Smith, right field. Monroe--J. W. McKelvey, pitcher; Shackleton, second base; Creelman, first base: Samuel Kane, catcher; Crouch, third base; Avery, center field; Kinsey, leit feld; Page, right field; Davy, shortstop. enough display the ability of the Five were played and were innings, Monroe men to pile up more runs than their opponents.
John Kane was first chosen 88 umpire, but his rank decisions showed how quickly base ball will demoralize a citizen of other wise spotless integrity, and in deference to the protests of the spectators he was deposed despite his wholesale threats of fines. John R. Church was made his successor. Mr. Church showed that he knew a foul tip from a fly to center, besides several other things about the game, and gave entire satisfaction.
Sam R. Carter sat ou the playerg' bench, and earned the gratitude of all by his scientific and impartial coaching. The game abounded in brilliant features, which were enjoyed by the spectators, who were congregated comparative bebind the safety. back -stop They became me most enthusiastic, however, when bronzed and bearded George Crouch made a home run first inning, earning thereby the plaudits of the throng and the congratulations of his friends. The puzzling curves of Pitcher Peshine and the batting of Second Baseman Fraser were the most noticeable features of the playing of the Cyrene ball tossers.
Following is the score by innings: Cyrene 4 1 2 2-10 Monroe 9 4-23 A man who had lots of white paper and an unlimited stock of patience said that the combined base hits were 69 and the errors 513, but as he was called to the hotel to guess on the weight of a fish during progress of the game the accuracy of the score is doubted, and competent observers assert that the figures given should be increased fully twenty per cent Everybody was ready for Landlord Sours's good dinner after the ball game, and after it was over, of course nearly all gathered in front of the hotel to hear the band play. But here a curious thing occurred -in fact nothing less than the capture of the sheriff of the county, who has himself curtailed the liberty of so many of his fellow- men. Everybody who knows Eminent Commander Handan well knows that he swears allegiance to the ballad, The Old and is continually giving manifestations' of his devotion. After the band had played his favorite air, the genial sheriff was surrounded by a throng of smiling friends, who enjoyed his mystification while Jobn Kane stood up before him and recited his merits in a brief address, ending with the presentation of the words and music of The Old Oaken Bucket. The sheriff was touched, but managed to lead in 8 stanza of the song.
Then ex- School Commissioner C. H. Bidwell confronted the eminent commander, and after repeating the adulatory words of his predecessor presented sheriff the familiar steel engraving of the boy drinking from Old Oaken Bucket. After a few words of response the man to whom nature has not been sparing in her tried to get away, but WAS held fast while Frank H. Vick told him for the third time what manner of man he was, ending by throwing over his shoulders a big steel chain to which was attached a tiny gold charm in the shape of a bucket.
Mr. Hannan this time called upon Prelate W. A. Sutherland, of Cyrene Com mandery, to say a word for him, which the latter did very gracefully, although adding to the embarrassment of the sheriff by his words of compliment. Colonel S.
C. Pierce then presented himself before the commander, who was not allowed to get away, and completed the series by uncovering a box containing a genuine old -fashioned, moss- -grown oaken bucket, after the usual prelude. He presented the bucket to the sheriff, who was much affected, assuring the donors that it called up recollections SO graphically described in the poem. He thanked the donors with genuine emotion, and many of the group seemed to see other things than those immediately about them, through eyes strangely dimmed, as he spoke. The affair was unique in the way of presentations and successfully managed.
During the evening the picknickers returned home conscious of a day happily spent. The arrangements for the outing were made by committee consisting of the officers of the commandery, who are: John W. Hannan, John Kane, J. W. McKelvey, T.
C. Hodgson, Frank H. Vick, Robert Salter, H. G. Thayer, Louis Herzberger, D.

A Niagara Falls Ticket Agent and a Rochester Woman Arrested. Francis C. Belden, a Central- -Hudson and Michigan- Central ticket agent at Niagara Falls, and Mrs. Sarah Frir, of this city, were arrested by Deputy Marshal Bardwell and arraigned before Commissioner Gorham yesterday on the charge of sending obscene matter through the mail. The examination was adjourned to the 15th and the prisoners gave bail in the sum of $1, 000 000 each for their appearance at that time.
On the 25th of May, 1886, Mrs. Rose Case, of this city, wife of janitor of the Sibley Block, received a letter fairly reeking with obscenity. The letter was dated Lockport, N. Y. mailed at Niagara Falls, and signed western correspondent to 8 in Deputy Marshal Bardwell's hands who at Rochester observer.
Bard The case was placed once began a systematic course of investigation, Certain circ*mstances pointed to Belden's being implicated in the matter, and finally Mr. Bardwell came into possession of two letters written by him. These and the one received by Mrs. Case were submitted to an expert for comparison, who, after careful examination pronounced the three letters to have been, in his opinion, written by the same person. Other evidence WAS also secured against Belden and Mrs.
Fair, and on Monday Mr. Bardwell went to Niagara Falls and arrested the former. He took the latter into custody on his return to city yesterday. The Late E. A.
Hoffman. The death of Edward A. Hoffman, which occurred on Sunday last at his late residence on Hudson a street, deserves more than passing attention. Born in this city more than thirty- years ago, and educated at St. Joseph's school, he has passed all his short life in the city of flowers.
He was a son of the late Joseph Hoffman, for years a trusted engineer on the Central- Hudson railway, who resigned to engage in the undertaking business which he conducted on Allen street until six years ago when death relieved him of this world's strifes. Edward, who had familiarized himself with the details of the business, suoceeded his father and associated himself with John Meier, who died one year later. He was succeeded by William Rosenbach and the business was conducted under the firm name of Hoffman Co. The deceased WaS one of the charter memberg of the Monroe County Undertakers' Association, and WaS indefatigable in promoting the welfare of that successful organization. The body is incased in a metallic lined eliptic cloth covered case.
The floral decorations are elaborate including pieces from L. A. Jeffreys, B. E. Chase, Mr.
and Mrs. W. C. Hadley, The AriODS, 11 William Rosenbach, Harry, Cut and Miley' and many others. The funeral will take place this morning at 9:30 o'clock from St.
Joseph's Church. A solemn requiem mass will be celebrated by Rev. Father Pingel, assisted by Rev. Dr. Sinclair of 8S.

STREET RAILWAY SCHEMES The Rochester Brighton Railway Granted Permission to Run by Electricity -Other Franchises to be Sold to the Highest Bidder. Alderman Kelly acted as chairman of the special meeting of the Common Council last night in the absence of the president. Ten members were in their seats and the board proceeded with the regular order of business.
resolution was introduced by Alderman Kohlmetz that any right granted to the Rochester City Brighton Railway, by resolution of the Common Council, November 28, 1882, to lay its tracks in Mumford street, Andrews street and North Clinton street be revoked and rescinded. Judge Raines addressed the board and request that the resolution be laid on the table until the next meeting. He thought the proposed action was revolutionary. John N. Beckley said there was DO purpose spring any action and urged the adoption of the resolution.
He said that the proposed application of the cable road had been published two weeks; that the tracks were laid for temporary convenience, while Central avenue was occupied. It was only, be said, when a rival company proposed to apply for a right to cross that bridge, that the Rochester City Brighton Railway claims the right to the bridge. They show they have no right to the bridge, by asking the privilege of crossing Andrews street bridge as part of a new route from the public building to Bay railway station. The resolution was adopted with only one dissenting vote. Several petitions for the erection of wooden buildings were presented and referred to the proper committee.
Alderman Selye presented a petition of the Rochester City Brighton railway for the permission to lay tracks from Brooks avenue to the north line of the city by the route already published, the cars to be operated by horses or by any power consented to by the Common Council, except locomotive steam power. The petition was received to be considered August 23d. Alderman Fee moved that the consideration of the application of the Cable Company for permission to construct road across the river and through certain streets on the east side of the river to Mt. Hope, be postponed five weeks, for the hearing of allegations, and the resolution was adopted. The franchise for a cable route from a point near the public building through Sophia, Church, State, Mumford and Andrews streets, North and University avenues, Scio, German and Bay streets to the Bay railway station was next considered.
A new resolution was offered by Alderman Fritzsche, providing for the sale of the franchise to the highest bidder, and also providing that single or double tracks may be constructed, and that the cars may be propelled by horses, by cable power or by electricity in part or on the whole of the proposed route. Benjamin Harris protested against building a cable railway through Sophia street or Church street. He detailed the effect of cabie roads in Chicago. People will not live on line of the cable road if they Can live anywhere else, and the streets are rendered unfit for residence. The property represented by Mr.
Harris had paid $2, 000 for the pavement on Sophia street and the property opposite had paid the same, and now 8 company claims one- third of this improvement for the purpose of money making. A. S. Mann said he did not intend to say anything, but he saw in Kansas City the cable line on the finest avenue and it had not had the effect in that city described by Mr. Harris in Chicago.
Supervisor Sunderlin, of the First ward, said that they wanted no road in Sophia street, but if they have one they want the cable, which he considers the best. The cable would be his favorite, if they are obliged to have railway. was favor in general way of improvements in the line of railways. Alderman Fritzsche presented a remonstrance from citizens residing on North avenue against any further railways. A similar remonstrance was received from citizens residing on University avenue from North avenue to Scio street.
Judge Raines objected to the resolutions on the part of the Rochester City and Brighton railway The resolution was adopted without dissent. Alderman Selye offered a resolution that action on the application of the Electric Railway Company ad postponed until August 15th, and it was adopted. Alderman Elliott presented the application of the Rochester City Brighton Railway Company to operate its cars by means of electricity, and, by request, moved that the application be granted. The resolution was adopted without discussion and without dissent. A resolution was offered that a committee of five be appointed to confer with the board of supervisors regarding the proposed dedication of land by E.
A. Frost and others, for a boulevard from the river to Genesee street, The resolution was adopted. Alderman Selye offered a resolution to the effect that the commissioners of Mt. Hope be required to keep a record of the location of the graves in Mt. Hope and the names of those buried there, and the resolution was adopted.
The board then at 8:55 o'clock, adjourned. MORTUARY MATTERS. The Local Record of Deaths and Funeral Announcements. -The funeral of the late James K. Courneen will be held this morning at the house, 9 Marshall street, at 8:30 o'clock, and at St.

Smith, W. 0. Smith, MASTER MASONS IN COUNCIL, Meeting of the State Association Fellows Hall Yesterday. at Oda The New York State Master ciation held its semi- Masons Asso. terday at Odd Fellows Hall.
The yesannual convention opening at 11 o'clock. first session tion was not fully represented Though the associa. at the ing, a large number were to openthe address of we come by present President listen to line. Following is a summary Gorsmarks: of his re. ter.
At GENTLEMEN-' the first welcome you to Roches. Master Masons' meeting association at Albany of the New held of the state York, on the first of March of resolved to hola a last, and' was left to me as your summer presiding meeting officer to call it at such a time and me seemed best. In place 88 to resolution we meet here accordance with that to-day, I ack. nowledge Rochester my selfishness conceit and as a citizen of city for the my but in selecting my own since 1829 and meeting, having having lived here ered with its inhabitants summered and wintI know to what good place of sojourn I have called you. Workingmen own this city.
It bas than voters, and what more taxpayers will inter. est you builders to learn, it has more fire proof buildings than any other city of size in the United States. We its the first fire proof hotel in built United States. I might tell the of the 150 feet water fall which you was the admiration of Daniel Webster and the subject of one of his speeches and over which Sam Patch jumped from time to eternity; and of the Fox girls who woke the whole world with their up rappings, and I might show you the birthplace of Mormonism, the disgrace of the country, which could live here only long enough to be born. The most powerful spirit in the woman's right of reform whom is a Rochesterian, and Fred Douglass, you all know, made Rochester his home.
Rochester has been called the hot. bed of isms. We confess to Spiritualism, Millerism, Abolitionism, Woman Suffrageism and patriotism, I might keep on till noon were I to tell it all, meetings as these are nothing new. Every paper you take up has an account of the meeting of the delegates of some great corporation, railroad company, coal company or Masonic order, down to humane societies. They may now mention what is best of all-the meeting here to discuss the several interests committed to us.
I trust that in our exchange of views we will not lose sight of the fact that whatever we do to elevate the mechanic and laborer will benefit ourselves; tor every real aid given to the workingman will be returned ten- fold to the employer. I believe that those men who form the Knights of Labor have made a great mistake. Had they spent the same ingenuity, time and labor in forming insurance and saving institutions they would have accomplished far more for the interests of their families and themselves. History tells us that the order is a curse to its members and that it will soon be a thing of the past. Trade unions have come to stay only so long as they are governed by wise counsels.
That brings it home to us, now assembled, to be guided by wisdom and not let tyranny and overbearing dogmas prevail over or govern our action. The speaker closed his remarks by again extending welcome to the visiting masons, At the close of Mr. Gorsline's speech, the convention took an adjournment to 8 o'clock last evening. During the afternoon the visitors enjoyed a drive about the city, and paid a visit to the principal buildings and other places of interest. At 8 o'clock in the evening another sessession was called to order by the president, and a discussion of the various matters of interest to the association ensued, one of the principal topics which is at present occupying the minds of the builders and contractors is in relation to the licensing of master masons.
Another subjeot is the question of a revision of the statute relating to apprentices. Both of these questions were thoroughly discussed, and be before adjournment committee was appointed to draft resolutions embodying the sentiments of the convention regarding the apprenticeship law, the committee to report at the next meeting, which will be held next February. A committee was also appointed take steps towards procuring legislation, requiring the licensing of master builders, the committee to act and be ready to report by the time of the next meeting. After the transaction of some other minor business, the convention adjourned to February, next, president. the place of meeting being left At the close of the meeting the members enjoyed a banquet, which had been spread in the room adjoining.
About thirty contractors were present, and two hours were consumed in discoursing the food and getting acquainted with each other. The following named prominent contractors and master masons were in attendance at the W. H. Gorsline, president: P. J.
