DARING ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-An attem

DARING ATTEMPT AT RoBBERY.-An attempt
was made last night, about II o'clock, to rob the
house of Mr.. r. II. Graham, Ia the seventh ward
while that gentleman was absent In another por-
tion Of the city. The circumstances are follows
Miss Sarah Young, q member Of the family, on
retiring for the night, heard q noise In the lower
part OF the house. She paid no especial attention
to 1t, but proceeded down stairs to examine the
doors, as Is her custom, and see whether the ser
wants had properly locked them. When about
midway the stairs leading to the parlor, with the
light In her hand, one Of her feet was erked with
such violence as nearly to precipitate her to the
bottom Of the stsirs. She screamed, and looking
down saw a man staring her In the face. She
screamed again, when the fellow deliberately
walked to the back hall door, unlocked 1t, jumped
over the fence, and disappeared. She up stairs
to the front window and gave the alarm, which
brought number Of the neighbors to the scene,
who pursued the robber, but did not discover him.
She describes him as being dressed like soldier,
with light-blue pants, black slouched hat on the
back of his head, and = dsrk-blue blouse, out at
the elbows. The fellow made his entrance at the
back basement window
On Sunday afternoon two men inquired very par
ticularly the number of the house and the one ad-
joining one csutioning the other to remember that
the numbers were 6?2 and 64. They inquired
again Yesterday morning, and It 10 supposed that
one OF the men was the supposed robber. The af'
fair came very near assuming = tragical aspect.
As Miss Young called ior help, young man sleep
ing In the upper portion oi the house heard her,
sseended to the top of the roof, aud loudly called
for the watch Rumher oi the neighbors being
armed with pistols snd lilies, snd seeing him
perched upon the Tooi, supposed him to lie the
robbcr, and II needed an immediate explanation 10
save him.
We understand that an attempt was made to rob
several other houses in the ward last night.
