ESCAPED.

How Policeman Let RObber GO-The
Wonderful Activity of the Second Dis
trict Police.
few nights ago the dwelling of Mr.. John
Floyd, No. 145 South Fourth street, was entered
by burglars, who gained access thereto by means
of the basement window. They then ascended
to the first floor packed up a lot of clothing,
secured a silver cake-basket and other silver
ware, Tansacked the closets, and laid themselves
out for an extensive job. There was also some
silver plated ware, but this the thieves broke up
and finding that it was not clear silver all the
way through, they disdainfully threw it aside.
While these transactions were going on on the
first floor Mrs. Floyd was lying in bed
awake in the second. She heard the window
open, but this did not trouble her much, as she
thought the noise came from the neighboring
house, in which there is sickness. Then she
heard more noise and she attributed this to the
cat. A large eght-day clock is in the hall on
the ground floor, and she heard knock against
the hollow part of this piece of furniture. This
looked suspicious. She became alarmed, and in
this state of mind she heard footstep on the
stairs She then awoke Mr.. Floyd, told him the
circumstances, and as that gentleman was en-
deavoriDg to persuade her that 1t was nothing
at all, he was considerably astonished at
hearing some one try the doorknob
of the very room in which they
were This aroused him. He rushed for
his two revolvers, but they were gone. lie had
loaned them day or two before to a friend.
He finally got policeman's rattle and sprang
1t with vigor out OF the second-story window.
The thieves below, on hearing this, rushed to
the front door and nearly tore it from its hinges
in their frantic endeavors to get out. They
failed for it was barred with three locks and
secured by chain. The robbers then ran to
the cellar-kitchen window, and just as they
were getting out policeman of the Second dis
trict arrived on the spot land arrested them
the reader will say. Not bit of it. He let the
fellows go. Not that he didn't make an effort
but such an effort The astute official splurged
around fora while, and made pretense of being
anxious to catch the scoundrels, but he didn't
do it. The robbers escaped; and this is another
triumphant plume in the cap of the Second Po-
lice district.

BOILERS.

The Second Annual Report of Boiler In
spector LOvegrOve-The ENpenses-BOiI-
Explosions.
From the annual report for 1870 of the inspec-
tor of steam boilers in Philadelphia, L. j. Love-
grove, ESQ.,, which has just been presented 10
the Mayor, the following facts are cleaned
The only accidents during the year were the
scalding of q man at Thomas mill, Twelfth and
Buttonwood streets, and the scratching of an
other by brick displaced by the explosion of
one bulb OF Harrison boiler at No. 1894 n.
Front street.
During the year 1870 there were upward OF
one hundred disastrous explosions of steam
boilers in the United States, by which three
hundred and twenty-siX persons were killed and
two hundred and twenty-seven wounded. Dur
ing the same year, although there were at least
two explosions every week in various parts of
the United States, of which New York, Balti-
more, Brooklyn, and Chicago had their respec-
tive shares none occurred in the city of Phila-
delphia, notwithstanding the fact that it has
greater number of boilers than any other of the
aforementioned cities.
The following is q statement of the operations
of the department during the year 1870
There have been flfty-eight boilers inspected
this year that were not inspected last year there
have been thirty-One new boilers erected; there
have been tWenty-seVen old boilers re-erected
and repaired. The additional number of boilers
erected will give employment to thirty-fve
hundred operatives.
The large number of boilers condemned and
repaired last year made il unnecessary to con-
demn but one this year, and consequently TO
order but few repairs.
The Mayors attention is called to the number
of engineers who have applied for a license this
year compared with those to whom a license
was grantedI last year. This part of the ordi-
nance should be repealed, or penalty attached
for employing an engineer without license.
The total number of engineers who have pre-
sented themselves for examination during the
year is only So. OF these were first class, 26
were second class % were third class, and 4
fourth class certificates. There were SO renewals
of certificates. OF these 9 were first class, 25
were second class, and were third class.
The receipts of this department for the year
1870 are as follows
Amount collected for inspection OF boilers
