AN ABODE OF BURGLARS IN wGsTCHES-
TER CoUNTY-THt ATTIC OF S.
CRED EDIFIcE Converted INTO DIN
OF ROBBERs-waaT THEIR sToCK IN
TRADE CONSISTED OF.
| While some wcIkmen were engaged
making alterations in church situated
near Brouxville, little station on the
Harlem Railroad, in Westchester County
and about fifteen miles distant from New
York, they accidently discovered, day
or two ago, the head quarters of gang
of burglars in the attic of the sacred edi-
Gee. 1t may be mentioned that the mod
est place of worship indicated stands in
an isolated grove, about half mile from
the railroad. and within the limits of the
town of East Chester. The attic of the
church has never been used for any pur.
pose, and the only access to it from the
body of the edifice was by means of a
st p-ladder employed only by ILe sexton
when be climbed 70 the interior of the
spire for the purpose Of ringing the bell.
While efrcting scne alterations in the
wall at the opposite end of the building
to that ia which the belfry was situated.
the carpenter found that the attic had
been used as a rendezvous for burglars,
it being fitted up with rude table chairs
Kerosene stove for cooking and suudry
other culinary utensils. In an elaborate
satchel were discovered over two hun
dred skeletons keys, two formidable look
ing reyolvers-one of them seven shoot
er, with a skull cracker forming the
handle-files, saws and other implements
forming a very complete set of burglars
tools. Several dilapidated articles of
wearing apparel. evidently intended as
disguises for the gang. we're also scatter
ed around together with a box of black
ing. brushes and other appliances of the
toilet. Unfortunately for the ends of
Justice, the workman who made the dis
covery at once carried off the burglirs'
effects. thus preventing any possibility
of their capture Captain Mangin, of
the Yonkers police, having been inform
ed Of the affair on Thursday, lost no time
in proceeding to the now abandoned haunt
of burglars without being aware that any
of the articles had been disturbed. Long
before reaching the spot the captain
found, to his notification, that the im-
plements had not only been removed, but
that sac affair bad gained such widespread
notorissy as to bafiis all attempts looking
to the capture of the robbers. As large
number of keys for unlocking freight cars
aud railroad switches were found among
the other articles. it is now believed that
the attempts, to throw trains from the
track were pe-pe;rated by this mes. Of

From tie San Francisco Bulleton, Nov.19
A gentleman who arrived few days

ture which occurred to an Indian herd
men in his employ. He sent the man to
distant portion of large rancho to look
after a herd of sheep. The Indian at
niShtiall got under shed with roof of
branches, but open oil all sides, and lay
down in his blankets After a few hours
sleep, be was awakened by feeling the
hot breath of -ornc animal on his face -
lie moved his arms. and at once under
stood the situation-a huge bear was
snuffing him. The man with great pres-
ence OF mind, determined to keep perfect.
y still, for he knew if he moved or cried
out, one blow of those huge paws woula
break his skull like a walnut. Bruin
scratched off the blankets and seiz ii tho
Indian by TIE leg Though suffering
terribly, the brave fellow did not allow a
groan or cry TO escape him, The bear
dragged him frpn the hut for some dis
lance aud then commenced to dig hole
TO lay the Indian in and cover him upr
from the coyotes. After the grave had
been dug deep enough the bear (con.ent.

to the hole and covered it up The In

face loose enough 10 ALLOW him to breathe

out toward the mustang. which was pick

Joe Bunker's Courtship.
A TALE OF A BAG OF BEANS.

Everybody in the county Of Essex ha'
heard of Joe Bunker, and the quips and
cranks by him enacted. In truth. he wal
a famous fellow in his day, so noted fo'
his bushwacking rustici,y Of breeding
that bis name has passed into a provert
and made him immortal. Joe Bunker &
character is now regarded by all the old
crones and gossips in the northeast cor.
uer of Massachusetts, as the beau ideal OF
a genuine unsophisticated Yankee clod
hopper
His farae for ten miles round the country ran
And ali the old ladies called him queer man.
He was the first man in these parts
that ever picked his teeth with wooden
shoe. Various other fashions introduced
by him are in the remembrance of many,
but it ia not our purpose to specify them.
The story of his courtship and the bag
Of beans is not so common. 1t runs
thus
1t was sometime in the month of April
or May. or at any rate. just at the time
of planting beans of all the days in the
year of a Sunday. that Joe being at
meeting. spied Colonel Shute's daughter
Hannah 1t was in prayer time (they

fashion as could we'll be imagined Joe
looked at Hannah. and Hannah looked
At Joe. It is pretty certain that the lit
tie hedgehog Cupid shot of pair of his
quills at the same instant, for Hannah
was struck with very queer sensation
and as for Joe. he felt something which
he could not exactly describe except by
saving that it was kind of an all-over
nese like.
This is all we happen to know Of the
first item in this chapter Of accidents -
The next morning Joe lay in bed go long
that his father began to grumble. and
presently his mother came. mp stairs.

WHY Some Hotels are Unpopular.

What is the most common complaint
with guests against frst-clasS hotels!
Nine old travellers out oft can give you
the fault formula in minute. About as
follows: II registered my name. and
thew gave me a room at the top OF the
house, and charged me as much as If l
had the best room on the lowest floor.
Major General Buncombe had the best
room in the house and didn't pay any
more than did," 1t will be positively
refreshing to our. readers to know that
there is one first class hotel. at least on
Broadway. New York, that has taken a
stand against this unsatisfactory and worn
out system. and charges less for the up
per floors than the lower, and allows the
guest choose for themselves.
The Grand Central Hotel, under the
iudicious management Of Fl. l.. Powers
adopted this incomparahly the best. sys-
tenn at the start. and it is being batter ap,
preciated every day. The Grand Central
has now taken the lead of ali New York
Ho,els. in its arrivals as we'll as other re;
snects. It's prices are 500. $3.50 and
$500 per day. An elegantly furnished
room. meals at all hours. from early morn
till midnight, and the use Of the finest
elevator in the world for $500 per day !,
very comfortable. 1t reminds one ofold
times, and fosters feeling Of peace with
our neghbor and all the world beside.
