AN.aRow ESCAPE FOR McCAxNs FOUNDRY,
Last night at 1890 Officer McInee discovered
large blaze in D. G. McCanns foundry. sit
uated on the corner of Julia and Peters
streets.
Upon Investigation. it was found that the
floor on the second story about the center Of
building was burning briskiy and the whole
place was filed with smoke. The alarm was
given from box No. s..
The engines were promptly on hand and
succeeded in extnguishirg the fire without
any extensive damages. Had it not been for
the officer being almost upon the spot, the
entire foundry would have been consumed, as
the timber is very dry and the fire had made
good Roadway.
Bold Work OF THE NIGHT HAWKS Be-
tween the hours of 10 and II o'clock last
night one of the boldest burglaries was COM
mitted that has been recorded for some time
upon the police register. There is a small
one-story frame store situated just opposite
Lafayette6quare, at 121 Camp street, which
is occupied by NJ. E. Moran as a clothing
store and tailoring establishment
The thieves must have watched the place
for some time and made themselves perfectly
familiar with the fastenings upon the doors.
and last night, between the hours above mem
toned. when the officer had gone to the other
end of the beat, the thieves repaired to the
spot and broke the place open.
few moments after q BULLETIN reporter
was on the spot and examined the premises.
The doors leading into the street are thin
double panel, the lock being common lock,
and the mortice into which the bolt of the
lock went was very insecure.
| The doors were marked from the floor up
above the middle, as if the thieves had used
round. iron instrument to pry the door
open. The bottom bolt on the left door was
drawn, and the lock entirely sprung from the
| mortice. The extent of the loss could not
be ascertained as the proprietor of the store
| was absent and his residence was not known.
The scattered appearance of the clothing
showed that the thieves had helped them
selves bountifully, but must have been fright
ened off by the approach of some passer-by.
In their flight they cropped some articles Of
clothing on the floor. A gentleman. who was
passing. went in search of an officer, and in
formed him of the fact, when he went to the
store and remained in charge.
No positive traces of the thieves were dis
covered, although few moments after Officer
4. Honla arrested a man, at the corner of
Magazine and Poydras streets, who was prowl-
ing around, under suspicious circumstances,
and conducted him to the Central, where he
gave his name as L. Allen. Probably be is
one of the thieves.
''NoTHING To WEAR"-This seems to be
the case with Mrs. Bridget Connors who is
charged by Mrs. Mary Z. Pastor with having
stolen from her wearing apparel to the
amount OF $50. Officer Walsh thinking this
quite rough on Mrs. Pastor conducted the
Connors to the Central, and placed her in
solitary confinement.

ground that he had committed breach of

street, near Magazine. The street for the
last eight months las been in such condi-
ton that in muddy weather all intercourse

gested that the holes be not filled up with the
mud from the cutters, as is generally the
custom.
