Burglary.

The gas was turned of yesterday morning at 2
O'Clock. This gave burglars an hour or more for
tolerably safe operations. They are taking bold
advantage of these dark periods which are ap-
parently designed by some directing power in aid
Of burglarious performances. Monday morning
last between gaslight and daylight the plate
glass show-windOw in the clothing store of l.
Hamburger Son, under the Metropolitan hotel,
was deliberately broken, although it was one
sufficiently large TO admit the hand and arm
of the thief, and two suits Of clothing ex-
traeted from the window. The burglars were
then probably frightened away. This is one Of
the most requented and unlikely spots In the city
for the burglars TO try their arts, because there
is always some one stirring in the hotel. 1t was
this attempt practicable.

building, fell from that story to the play-room
entrance below, a distance Of about twenty feet.
He was found insensible, and bleeding freely at
the mouth Dr. Fenwick was called in and ex-
amined the boy, and so far has found no injury
beyond a severe conclusion and deep cut inside
the mouth. AFTER the boy had somewhat revived
he was taken home by the physician, who thinks
