WHOLE NO. 25O9
Attempts at Robbery.

Upon Tuesday night last week the
Depot of the A. & G.. W. R. x. at Kent
was broken.open by burglars, and the door
of the large safe in the Ticket Office blown
off. The explosion occurred about ten
and half o'clock, and attracted the at
tention of some young men, who emerged
from Billiard Saloon, opposite the Depot
at the time it took place. They at first
supposed the report was caused by the
explosion of some telegraph apparatus.
but curiosity caused them to go to the
building and see what was up. As they
came upon the Depot platform, a man
was standing upon it, who at once left.
Upon examination it was found that the
door of the safe had blown to pieces, but
its contents were undisturbed. The safe
contained about $4,000. The robber left
the following implements on the preml-
ses; two steel punches, 1 nipping bar,
dark lantern. These articles he can
obtain by coming forward proving prop
erty and paying damages. The cool
ness with which the robbery was at
tempted is unparalleled, as the depot
IS in the immediate vicinity of the prin-
cipal hotel, and a number of business
places, which at the hour the explosion
took place had not been closed for the
night.
A small mallet was found in the
depot. 1t was bored full of holes and
pieces of leather inserted to deaden the
sound.
Upon the night the depot of the c. &
P. R. R. at RaVenna was broken into by
burglars The entrance was made by
raising a window of the main waiting
room of the building. The door from
this room to the Office was forced open and
the large safe attacked. A hole about
the size of dime was punched in the
door of the safe. The door was charged
with powder and fuse placed in con-
neetion with it. The fuse being defec-
tive, did not accomplish its mission, and
from some cause the robbers did not
make a second attempt to light it. The
safe was found in the morning in the
condition stated, with q portion of the
fuse projecting from the hole punched
in the door. This safe contained $780,
90, four hundred dollars of the money
being the private property of Mr.. Root
the agent Of the Road, the balance be
longing to the company. In this instance
two steel punches, cold chisel and an
empty powder can were left by the un-
lucky operators. The punches and
chisel were burglariously taken from the
Marble Works of Fox & Mills on Main
St. The entrance to this building was
msdsthrough the front window and egress
through the back door. --- .-..-.--,
The A. & G. W. R. R. depot tRavenna)
would probaly have been also honored
by the robbers, put for the fact that
men were working about it all night.
These attempts at robbery, though
inglorious failures, will put the COM
munities in which they occurred on guard
and render them dangerous localities
for seoundrels who respect neither pro-
perty or law-RavsnnG Democrat.

Onward onward to Manassas
Baggage trains were left behind him
In his eagerness to find them;
Upward the balloons ascended
To see which way the rebels wended.

Swept the horizon round Manassas
Out Of sight, the foe retreating.
