One of the most daring robberies that has
come to our notice for long time, was COM
mitted on eaturday night between seven and
nine O'Clock. Ignatz Weckerman keeps
saloon md boarding house on Morgan street,
between Fourth and Filth, and is in the habit
Of receiving from bis boaFdess and transient
posit for safe keeping. He had small iron
safe In his bedroom, over the bar-room,
which was chained to the floor to prevent rc-
moyal. The bedroom was always kept lock-
ed, and was considered secure from burglars.
In this safe Mr.. Wecker1nan had some 81, GOO
in money, besides valuable papers worth
5000 more. Of this sum, about 5000 be-
longed TO Mr. W., the rest to boa5ders.
In Saturday night the door Of tho bedroom
WIS broken open by means Of chlscls, the
staple fastening tho chain to the floor was
drawn, md the safe let down Into the alley
