The unusually long respite from crimo Of al
E1nds which the people OF the North DiVie 1or
have enjoyed, Was terminated in an abrupt 2i<
startling manner yesterday morning By me g'
daring and deliberate act Of villain r
Shortly after S o'clock two burglars en- "
tered the boarding house kept by Mrs.
stenback, at No. sc North Lasane
street. They encountered no obstacles in
gaining access to the premisen. as the hall door
was wide open. This was not due to any lack OF
watchfu1ness on the part OF the innates Of the
house, for all the entrances thereto we're secure
y fastened the night before. Two employees Of
the establishment. the bartender and the cook,
opened the door few minutes previous to tho
arrival Of the burglars, and were busily
engaged in htchen and saloon wien
the latter we're ascending the stairs
beading to the boarders' bedrooms There are
three smau low-celinged sleeping apartments
On the second floor OF the house. The limited
capacity Of these chambers, and the health aud
comfort OF the people who were to occupy them,
appear to have been entirely overlooked
when the beds we're introduced. Beds are
30 numerous, and hug each other 80
closely, that each room seems to be
vast bed in ITSELF How the occupants
manage to mako their toilets and still remain
In the room is q dark mystery which they alone
ere competent to unrave1. The borders, how
ever, are Holland 1aborors, without any we'll
defined ideas as to what constitutes a healthy
and agreeable bed-ch amber, and doubtless they
are perfectly content with the accommodations.
Eight men enjoy sweet slunber in one
room, four in another, and one in
the third, which ia nothing more than clothes-
closet. The burglars first entered the most
1umcrously-peop1ed room. and went through
the clothing Of the sleeperH. They next pro-
reeded to the four-man apartment, which is con-
necte3 With the other by door, and we're &C.
lively engaged in ransacking TINT when Nicholas
servea q man searching his trunk, and instantly
sprang from the bed With the exclamation,
'sWhat are you doing there ?" The burglar turned
npon him, and Eischen grasped him conr-
which Eischen obtained the mastery, for he
threw the burglar to the floor, and fell upon
him His braWny fists we're falling upon the
tEiefs countenance with uncomfortable fre-
burglar fred three shots at him in rapid success
zion The first vent through the window Of the
room, and the second entered Eischen's left
breast; Of The third no tracee could be
discovered. Il the statements Of the
eight occupants Of the other room are to be be-
Ieved, however, the third ball whizzed past the
head Of every one Of them- Eischen rolled OF
pf his opponent the moment he was wounded,
through the outside room, then down the front
stairs to the street, and then through the vehicle
passage-way Of the IaSalle street tunnel
Not 3 man Of the eight in tho front
room attempted to stop them, though an we're
vide awake. On the contrary, they ducked
their heads under the bedclothes and Kept per-
fect1y still. The cook and the bartender though
they heard the shooting, interposed no obstacles
In the way Of the fleeing rufhans. When the
excitement Was all over they stated that they
supposed the boarders were quar1elling among
terfere With their amusement, they locked them
selves in. Such An array Of able-bodied towards
could hardly be found anywhere. As soon as
The Ecared inmates Of the house could collect
enough Of their scattered senseB to enable them
to comprehend the situation, 8 movement Tas
set On foot for the relief Of Eischen. who VAS
lying almost senseless On the floor Of his room.
DR. 4. F. Cook was summoned. He found that
the ball entered the body short distance above
the heart, and then took downward course
along the ribs. The Doctor probed the wound
but failed to find the ball He
considers that the chances are considerably
against Esehen's recovery. Examination OF the
,roons in the boarding house showed that the
Burglars had obtained 3 coat and purse con-
tsi.uog sa2 belonging to Eischen, and $1.40
and e>oue valuable papers belonging to another
hnar5e;~ u1ned George Hauck. They left be-
hind them tyo wine-colored Kossuth hats
phich thew wore and the cylinder OF small Smith
j. Wesaon rsvolver. The police authorities
OF the Twelfth Precinct Station, upon being
notified OF the occurrence, despatched DetecnVe
Dargan to search for the burglars. II the after
