DwELLINe-HoUsE EETERED.-At an early
hour yesterday morning the residence of John
Zeh, No. 14i3 North Eighth strset, was entered
by thieves from the rear. On the premises
was dog which gave the robbers considerable
annoyance, and, fearful that the canine would
by its constant barking, arouse the inmates, the
robbers came TO the conclusion to put II out OF
the way. They therefore cut the throat of the
animal, and threw its body into the cesspoo
They then entered the premises To prevent
surprise, they fastened all the doors leading u
the upper floors, and, passing into the parlor
they espied a safe In one corner of the room
To their utter astonishment, the door of the
same was found open, and an examination re
yealed the fact that IL contained nothing. Al
the fafe had only arrived day or two before
IL Is suspicioned that the robbers knew that fact
and expected that II would contain some valu
aoles. AS their hopes were blasted, they lef
without carrying of any property, aud, as
safe and removed the key.
