empty. ran into the street and locked
the door, thereby making the thieves
prisoners. Officer o Brien Of the 18th

count of the affair, and the prisoners
were taken to the station house. The
case will come up before Justice Murray
tomorrow morning.-lN. Y. Tribune.

as to the death Of John III. Albers, a sa-
loon keeper at ll2 Liberty street Albers

At abont o'clock yesterday morning
Peter Garden, a blacksmith Of $50 West
/ Forty seventh street, reached his home
after a spree, and on entering his room
/ in the fifth story back, he behaved so
queerly as to alarm his wife. She tried
to quiet him and get him to bed. but her
efforts enraged him. and he threatened
violence. He imagined that he was on
the deck of a ferry boat, and that he
must get of, and under this illusion he
attempted to force open a closet door.
Failing, he staggered to the window and
threw up the sash. His frightened wife.
dIvining his intention, seized him and
tried to draw him back but he tore him
self from her grasp and sprang headlong
from the window She fell backward
into the room, and as she did so heard a
crash on the flags, fifty feet below. She
had not the heart to look from the win
dow, but made her way down stairs and
into the street, and called an officer. To
gether they went into the little back !
yard and found the husband moaning
and talking incoherently to himself on |
the further side OF the yard, at a hydrant. |
from which he seemed to be trying to |
get water He had crawled across to the |
hydrant. They took him up to his room, |
but he was dead ere il was reached |
There was no blood on the stones, nor |
had the man any broken limbs, but his |
chest was crushed.-[N. Y. Sun.

surgeon, he was removed to the hospital.
