A Brave ROY.

The little house 437 First avenue is oceu-
pied by widow MANNED Catherine Mulone
and her son, boy eight years old. Mrs. Mu-
lone's bed-chamber is on the first floor, the
windows opening on the street. Her bed
runs across the centre window of the room.
The little boy sleeps on the side of the bed
near the window. About half-past four
O'Clock yesterday morning two burglars eff
feeted an entry into the house, and made
their way to Mrs. Mulone's bedroom. The
noise oecasioned by their coming into the
room awoke the lady, and she sat up in bed.
One of the ruffians drew a revolver, and plac-
ing the muzzle of the weapon to her head.
threatened to blow her brains out if she made
the slightest outcry.
AS matter course she did not; but her lit
tie boy was awake, and fully sensible of what
was going on. While the burglars were ran
sacking Mrs. Mulone's bureau, the brave lit
tie boy stealthily raised the window, and
jumping out qniek as a flash of tightening,
ran in his shirt to Eighteenth Precinct Sta
tion house in East Twenty-second street. Ser
geant Nicholson was on duty, and the little
boy breathlessly told his story. Two officers
house. but on arriving there they were told by
Mrs. Mulone that on her brave little son
jumping out of the window the burglars
grew frightened and fled without their prom =
ised plunder. The frightened lady, however,
had seen enough of them by the light of the
wax candles which they carried to give an ac-
curate description of the robbers.
Last night Sergeant Nicholson saw Peter
Woods, desperate ruffian, and arrested him
on suspicion OF being one OF the thieves. He
was brought to the station-honse, and Mrs.

Fisk's Estate Melting Away in Settle

ment.
Mrs. Lucy d. Fisk has become for the first
time resident of this city. For several
years she has lived in Boston, where the re-
ports of her husbands free life were weaken
ed by distance and by the style which she
was enabled to maintain She is now, how
ever, surrounded by the full details of his vic
ious career, and is compelled to witness the
breaking of that once golden bubble, his es-
tate. Mrs. Fisk is the legal manager of her
husbands affairs, and this will be found a
most annoying and perplexing task. Here
are houses to be let, rents to collect, taxes
and insurance and repairs to be paid, in addi-
ton to enormous sums of interest to be rails
ed for the holders of bonds and mortgages.
Here, too, are perplexing matters of stock in
railroads and steamboats,, whose liquidation
will awaken the selfishness of others, and ev-
cry advantage will be taken to diminish her
claims. All of Fisks associates were unprin-
cipled men, and most of them were confeder-
ates in robbery, hence they will steal as read
lily from his estates as from any other. Mrs.
Fisk met her first disappointment in this duty
in the sale of the equestrian establishment,
which did not reach the expected estimate.
L asked gentleman before the sale II the
horses would bring half their cost. "Oh yes,"
said he, 81 will give that much for them"
But he backed entirely; not an article was
knocked down to him, while the prices of the
horses were much less than the rate above
mentioned. There were at least $40, 900 sunk
at the sale, and presume that similar loss
will attend each step toward a settlement.
The disposal of twenty houses is no trife in
this condition of the real estate market, and
can only be effected by great reduction from
cost. In this manner the property will melt
away and only afford vexation to those who
have the deepest interest in it. Such loss is
not an uncommon thing in estates even bet
ter managed than this has been. l knew an
opulent merchant, who was president of a
bank and director in one of the greatest
railroads in this State. He was estimated by
experienced men to his acquaintance as worth
from $300, 200 to double that sum. He died
suddenly, leaving his family, it was supposed,
in IN independent condition, but l learned
that the net proceeds of that estate were only
$4,000. Unless man has been of miserly
turn, and has secret boards of cash, his estate
will dwindle fearfully when estimate is chang
ed to reality.-Neto York Letter.
