But even this did not fully satisfy the crowd;
for when the people discovered that they had
not lost anything they were all anxious to view
the havoc that had been created, and no de-
scription by any person who had witnessed it
would satisfy the assemblage, even when de-
tailed to the minutest point. Soon arrived upon
the scene Detectives Carlin, Lukens, and Miller
and Special Officer Roberts, who pronounced
the Job as having been perpetrated by profess
sionals Upon the floors were discovered the
instruments which had assisted the burglars in
breaking into the fire proof.
When our reporter left, they were assiduous
in their inquiries as to the appearance of the
pseudo policemen, and the details of the start
ling transaction. Outside stood excited Ken
sington marvelliDg at the audacitY of the ma
rauders, and the childish innocence of the pri-
Yate watchmen.
The Lossl
1t is now thought that the loss will range
from 800, 600 to $120 900, though it is impossi-
bic to definitely ascertain until each special de-
positor returns what was contained in his
packages Among the losses we learn of
these:-

Another Burglary.
Another ''crack," to use the thieves express
sion for a robbery, was committed some time
last night, or early this morning, and goods to
the value of several thousand dollars were
carried off, All this was done without the
knowledge of the police, and TO their utter as
tonishment they were this morning made ac-
quainted with the facts. 1t appears that the
door of the Gymnasium, on Ninth street, above
Arch, was forced open by thieves, whose inten-
tion was the robbery of the millinery store of
occGTpied octST T as the Gymnasium, ''S and
cutting hole in the floor lowered themselves to
the apartment below by means of the ropes
the first floor was reached Here the robbers
made a selection of fine silks and ribbons
which they packed up and removed, leaving in
the same manner as they had entered the
premises. The property stolen is valued at five
| thousand dollars. The store of Mr.. Abeles has
| been entered and robbed three times within a
| few years past. This morning detective officers
visited the store and made an examination, but
they could obtain no clue upon which to work
out the case. 1t seems strange that the police
who patrol that section of the city knew nothing
| of the affair until the janitor of the building
reached the scene this morning.
FATAL REsULT.-Anna Blacey aged six years,
| who was badly burned yesterday by her clothes
| taking fire from stove, died this morning from
