DARING BURoLART.-An Iron Safe Blotvn
optn.-This morning, about O'Clock, the office Of
J. s. Harvey h Co., wood and coal merchants on
Tenth street, near Police Headquarters, was er-
tered by burglars who effected an entrance through
the back door. An iron safe viii h stood in the
office was blown open BY the introduction Of gun.
powder into the lock. The burglars must have
had hard work to do It AZ man sleeping In the
next house states that he heard Iei eral reports
The last charge must have been an exceedingly
heavy one, as the door OF the safe was blown en-
tirely of and up, striking the ceiling and tearing
away the plastering as well as jarring the entire
side wall OF the building There was only one or
two dollars In the safe, so that tho robbers had
"much work and little pay" in their venture
Singular to relate, the man who lives In the shop
next door heard all the noise and made no effort TO
see what was the matter No clue has been found
to the burglars.
