bD BURGLARS ABoUT.-That we have
some malicious and evil disposed per-
sons in our midst, cannot lie disputed,
and in order to the protection of life
and property, it is necessary for every
citizen to be on the alert. About 2
o'clock on Saturday morning last an
attempt was made by some person to
enter the store of Mr.. Oliver Sherman,
at the back window. The store is in
the new building recently erected by
Mr.. G. T. Licklider, and occupied Us
a residence by Mr.. Charles Licklider
About o'clock in the night Mr.. C..
Licklider was awakened by a hammer
ing at the rear window. He immediate
ly gave the alarm, when the party made
his escape, leaving pick and bag be-
hind.
On Tuesday morning last, about half
past five o'clock, the alarm of fire sound
cd through our streets, when it was
observed that smoke was issueing from
the store room of Mr.. John G.. Unseld,
which is in the building owned and oc-
cupied by Geo. NJ, Be.tzhooyer, Esq,
as residence. Nothing was known of
the entrance at night until Mr. Unseld
opened his store room door and found
the room filled with smoke, and gave
the alarm of fire. Upon examination it
| was found that q smothering fire had
been kindled upon the steps in the Gel
lar which leads up to trap door TO the
floor of the store room, and that the
hinges OF the door had been burned off,
The burglar had entered the cellar by
removing the paddock from the front
cellar door upon the pavement. 1t is
supposed by some that when the burg
lar found that he could not remove the
| trap-door in order to enter the store
room, he built fire for the purpose of
burning through the door, as q bag
which had been lying in the cellar, be.
longing TO Mr.. Unseld, and other ma
terial, had been used in building the
fire. Others suppose that in striking
matches the bag was set on fire acct
IDENTIFY. The object no doubt was to
get up into the store room for plumber,
as nothing of value could be found in
the cellar which could be removed The
fire must have been built in the after
part of the night as it had gained but
little Roadway, which however was
owing to its having no air. a barrel
of coal oil was within a few feet of the
fire, and had the flames reached it, no
doubt considerable destruction would
have ensued. Mr.. BeltZhooycr and
family, who have their sleeping apart
ments in the building above the store
room, knew nothing Of the fire until
the alarm was given. Had the fire
gained Roadway in the night, it is
probable considerable destruction would
have snsued, A man who will know
ingly cndanger the lives Of persons, as
on this OCCASION, is nothing short Of a
brute Or savage, and if detected lynch
law should be brought into requisition.
On Thursday night some one entered
the Post Office by pricing open the back
door, and took thercfrom about $3.50 i'll
money.

CHEAP MOTORS. AT the recent
meeting of the British Association a
paper was read showing how the
force Of sea waves might be stored
Up on board ship for future use in
the propulsion of the ship against
head winds, thus doing away with
the expense of fuel necessary to the
production of steam. The idea is
not "a new one, nor is it altogether a
chimerical one. 1t does not require
great knowledge of mechanics to see
that the oscillations of a slip in the
waves Of the sea might be made to
wind up springs, the uncoiling of
which could afterwards be utilized
in operating propulsive machinery.
Whether this could be done without
an undue sacrifice of room is one of
the questions which practical naval
engineers would have to decide up
on. The suggestion has already
been followed by another one con.
nected with the chief transportation
problem. 1t is es, mated that bust
ness men who walk to their places
of business waste an amount of
force that would carry them back
home at the close of business hours.
Some genius suggests that the side.
walks might be so arranged as to
utilize this waste force in the wind.
ing OF springs or in the compression
of air, thus conserving it for use on
street cars or underground rail
ways. The suggestion may not be
SO absurd as it looks, and if anybody
thinks 'tIlere's mi lions in itr he is
welcome TO what we have done in
bringing it before him.
