= SAFE BLOWN OPEN.-Sometime after mid
night, Sunday night, the Office of B. 81. Kim
bali, Esq, was entered at the back window,
and bis safe blown open, by powder. We
visited the Office this Monday morning, be-
fore anything had been disturbed, and saw
the wreck in all its confusion. The burglars
had attempted to pry the back window in, but
failing to force off the stop, they took out q
light of glass, reached in and moved the
spring, raised the window, took off the stop,
took out the lower sash, and placed it care
fully out of the way. Then, with two dray
pins, from Peter Wards dray which
stood in the alley back of the Office, they
moved the safe out into the room and turned
it upon its back. The safe is one of Wilder's
patent, and the lock was said to be powder
proof But it is quite evident that they
sitted very fue powder into the little narrow,
thin key hole, fixed slow match. and then
rstreated and awaited the result Two dis
tinct reports were heard by the inmates of
Mr.. Pleasanst's house, opposite the office. 1t
is probable that the first did not do its work
efFectualiy. The look is not very badly brok-
en-, and the safe can easily be repaired.
The burglars must have been hugely dis
gusted, for there was not cent of money in
the safe, it being only used by Mr.. Kimbsll
to preserve his books and papers from fire.
Everything was scattered about in unuttera-
Bile confusion, but nothing missing-sxcspt q
paper of pins! Considerable tallow was
dropped from their candle, on the safe and
floor, but 10 damage done to anything, except
the cafe.
Mr. KimbaI is good dsal tIckled at the
idea that sharp thief should expect to find
money in a wagon makers safe, and he says
that, hereafter, he shall tie the key to the
knob OF the safe SO that any burglar can
look over his books and papers any time he
wishes to. Mr.. X. says this will be cheaper
than repairing locke.
There were several hundred dollars worth
of Jail bond coupons the safe which Mr..
K had paid and was only waiting for the
meeting of the board of supervisors to return
them, with his report, but the burglars were
smart enough to leave them, as they could
not be collected and might be the means of
detection.
There are too many suspicious characters
about and it would be we'll for our city auth
critics to Ego for EN-"
