Mr. Beardsley, by the aid Of the neghbors extn
gushed the flames with few buckets of water. Ths
Investigation and examination of the premises BY ths
Fire Marshal shows conclusively that bur-
glars entered the back yard from open lot by climb

silver ware jewery could they find 70 effect their
escape from the house In more easy manner than by
returning back the fence the nosng of the base
ment door was taken off by removing the Pre-
yious, however, to the villains leaving, they kin
died fire on the foor by the leading from tho
front INTO the back room, the second story. The
smoke created penetrated into the adjoining house. and
TWAS further shown that Mr. Blain and family left New
York Tor Europe the 2sth OF last March, leaving
10 charge Of the house old colored woman named
johnson. Fifteen days after Mr. Blaln left the old
sitting quietly in the ki;cnsn about dusk in
the afernoon she heard pose at the front door, and
the door burst open She looked into the hail. there
She called out Tor help; the rascal turned
and fec into the street, to hs sixth avenue

him. Since that time the old became alarmed
at sleeping alone in the house. and gave that
effect Mr. Bains friends who promised they would
get TO remain in the house with her. Latteriy
the old woman has been going out TO days work. and

old woman might be acting In colusion with Others took
her into custody and conveyed her before Justice Bren
