yesterday morning two burglars entered the
residence of an elderly couple named Esaw,
situated on Mill street, near Willow avenue,
Germantown, and robbed it of $500 in cash.
The thieves secured an entrance by climbing up
the grape arbor, and forcing open the second
story window Once inside they commenced
ransaeking the room, when their movements
awakened the old gentleman, named Christian.
Fearful of being detected, they assaulted the
couple and beat them numerically. During
the struggle Christian, whilst guarding his face
with his hand suffered the loss of q finger,
which was bitten off by one of the brutes. They
then bound and gagged the pair and left the
place. MI EeaW is well known IN Germantown
and the money stolen is the hard earnings OF
other years. That the burglars should be al
lowed to pursue their work unmolested is due
to the fact that the police of the Fourteenth
district rarely if ever leave Main street, bu
make the railroad depot their place of genera
rendezvous.
