MoRE BURGLARY. About three o'clock
on Tuesday night, Mrs. 5. A. Carraway,
residing on Pollok street, was aroused by
| the operations of two burglars in her bed
room. In attempting to give the alarm
she ran against one Of the Williams, who
was s.1 frightened at the contact that he
ran headlong down the flight of stairs
Before any one could arrive his cOnfede-
rate likewise escaped from the ROOM
Both the burglars then made their exit
from the house By unlocking the front
| door and getting into the street.
Upon investigation it was found that the
robbers had been i'll Mrs. Carraway's bed
room sometime before they were discover
ed. They had turned out the lamp light
to render their operations more secret,
and then rummaged the room at leisure. A
trunk was found to be unlocked and it's
contents inspected, while Mrs Carraway' 8
apparel was subjected to a like scrutiny
and two dollars in currency distracted from
| one of her dresses. The burglars were ev-
identity badly frightened after the alarm
| was given, for articles that they had inten-
ded to secure were found in the passages,
where they had been dropped in their fran
| tic haste to escape.
