manifested throughout the city this
morning, caused by a thousand and
one rumors of burglaries and robberies
committed by daring thieves from New

Morris avenue, where they are said to
have tried to force an entrance into the

were evidently frightened away, as they
did not effect an entrance. They then
proceeded up the avenue, to the resi-

and secreted himself behind the stoop.
As soon as the officer entered the house,
this fellow also ran away, going down

Broad street to East Grand, and SO on
to the corner of Jersey and Jefferson
streets, where he overhauled one of the
fellows -Hogart, who was piping "

Kingsley. Hogart was taken off, and
the alarm being given, officer Walker
quickly answered, just in time to wit
ness the escape OF Mulligan, who
was tripping it up Jersey street in
his bare feet, with his shoes I'M
der his arms. Walker gave chase,
and nabbed him by the neck just as he
was endeavoring to enter the yard in
front of the Second Presbyterian
Church Lecture room. Mulligan, out

he and his friend had ample opportuni-

shaped like a pencil, and several other
suspicious articles were found in

credit for their vigilance and efficiency.
