A BURGLAR CAprURED ny A MORAN
Men do not as a general thing attribute to
women any amount Of courage. vet never
theless examples thereof are occasionally
given. About 8 o'clock last night burglar
entered the house Of Nathaniel Fry, No.
1912 Fitzwater street, and commenced ran.
sacking room after room until he reached
the family hed-chamber. Here he COM
menced helping himself to various articles,
but was soon interrupted. Mrs. Fry being
down stairs, and having occasion to visit
her room, started therefor. The noise Of
her approach led the burglar to seek shell
ter, and accordingly he popped under the
bed, thinking that he was all right. Mrs.
Fry soon entered, and the first thing she
espied was pair of No. 8 boots encasing q
pair of feet. Now, whilst she knew that Mr..
Fry had been spending the night with some
friends, and might have also been celebrating
the Prusslan victories, yet no preacher In
Shristendom could tell her that he wore
NO. U.s. She was we'll aware that he prided
himself on wearing No. 3's, and therefore
concluded that the boots belonged to a
stranger. Unlike most other women, she
did not scream, yell, or fall into Mysteries al
the discovery, but, moving unconcernedly
around the room, she reached the door and
coolly descended the stairs. Once on the
ground floor, she made hasty exit, and
securing the services Of policeman Laird,
both cautiously returned to the bed-cham-
Der, wherein they found Mr.. Burglar walk
Ing about examining the furniture. a
search Of him brought forth lot of jewelry
and some cash belonging to Mrs. Fry, and
in corner was found lot of her clothing
packed up and ready for carrying off. The
prisoner gave the name of John Frenayo.-
