The cracksman showed his fino Italian Ital-ian hand again last night, on which occasion oc-casion he left his card with Kobbins & Peterson, butchers who do business and relieve the famished at 112 "H" street. Tho proprietors left the place at the usual hour aud sought, their homes Mr. Kobbins resides across tho street, and was in the embrace of the dreamy god, when his wife aroused him and reported re-ported a pistol shot. 'Somebody been out to lodge" droll- eel the gentleman and turning over to his right side he was again lost in slumber. slum-ber. A second shot was heard and Mrs. Kobbins, unnerved by the report, again awakened his lordship who tho second time dismissed the episode with the somnolent reply that it was nothing more than a wayfarer who had beeu nt the lodge. This morning however he went to the butcher shop on schedule time and found that the shots had been fired at the firm's expense. From a hole in the big iron safe was hanging a fuse that he took particular pains to avoid until Ollicer Glenn was notified and made his appearance at tho place. The effort to blow up the safe had been miscalculated. Above tho key of the combination two holes had been drilled with tho customary instrument in-strument and . iu'o these the explosive had been injected. The first shot was lired without the desired effect whereupon the safe was loaded for. another. an-other. Then came the second shot, but the massive door stood by its duty and today the locksmith is making an industrious indus-trious effort to get the combination into shape again. Sergeant Cantlon Discharged. The dog fighting case in which Sergeant Ser-geant Michael Cantlon was made a defendant de-fendant by tho Humano society was a fiasco. The defendant's refutal of the impeachment was overwhelming. He had evidence enough in his behalf to have repeated the Johnstown flood and it was mado apparent to Commissioner Norrell that he was at any other place than a dog light on the day in question. The Yale edition in the face of this launches an unkind and insulting fling at him. With conscientious devotion de-votion to its venerable tactics it "insinuates" that conviction was averted simply by a defect in the warrant. "Is that true?" asked the reporter of Sergeant Caution this afternoon. "No, sir; not a word of it. I never was present at a dog fight in my life and I'll givo them a whole year to look into it. I have been done an injustice, and I can't say I admire the way in which The Times has treated me. I don't know what I have done that I should got the worst of it. 'But you neglect to arraign the Tribune. Did it not say-thai, had it not been for the error in tho date that the fight is said to havo occurred that you would have been convicted?" "Who wrote that?" "1 can't inform you; The Times has always objected to assume the responsibilities respon-sibilities of the Trib. or to apologize for its atrocious blunders." "And the Tribune said that?" "Its on record; read the paragraph and satisfy yourself." Sergeant Cantlon frowned a dark brown frown and with an assurance that the young man who presides over the Yafe edition would bo seen, left the chronicler. Simple justice would demand de-mand that the ollicer get an unprejudiced unpreju-diced report of tho proceeding beforo Commissioner Norrell, and the result of that gentlemau's opinion.
