Dwe.Iin. Rurgsarized

Last evening, about o'clock, the
dwelling of Joseph L. Miller, No. 70l
West Eighth street, was entered and
ransacked, and Mr. Miller's clothes
stolen. The following are the partic
ulars as near as We could CLEAN them !:
Mr.. Miller having occasion to 90 to the
store, where he was clerk( (Allmond's)
told his wife that he would be back by
81 clock. The remark is supposed to
have been heard by some one OF a gang
of thievss lurking about. Mrs. Miller
locking up the house, went short
distance TO get some yeast, and on her
return, sat down on the door step to
await her husbands return, when they
both entered the house, but were sur
prised to tind the door leading from the
dining room to the kitchen and the
yard gate all standing wide open.
The thought flashed across the mind
Of Mr.. Miller and his wife that they
were robbed, and after procuring some
matches and going up stairs they found
the contents of the bureau drawers emp
tied upon the floor, and all Mr.. Miller's
clothes missing. The thieves seem not to
have finished their work, ,as cupboard
containing considerable of silver ware
ha not been touched. lu their hasty re-
treat down stairs they dropped vest
belonging to Mir. Miller, and left behind
them short iron crow bar, which they
had used efectually in prying open the
gate and the two doors referred to.
While Mrs. Miller Was away after
yeast, Mrs. }. NJ. Ocheltree, a neigh Dor
called, to spend the evening and ring.
ing the bell she heart paties hurrying
down the stairs and out to the kitchen,
and she thought it very strange that
nobody answered the ring of the door
bell to let her in. After standing min
ute or two she left. The parties she
hal hard coming down the stairs were
evidently the robbers who were sur
prsed before they had comp rted their
burglarious designs. The police were
informed Of the robbery but there is no
clue as to whom the robbers were.

A Y0unE New Yorker MsSSles .
Philadelphia Neiress.

Miss Mary Phillips, q young lady
well known in Philadelphia society,
and an heiress, has for several years
been an intimate friend and FREQ uenl
visitor to Miss Hulsted, Of New York, a
former school mate. There she met
with brother of her host q prepossess
ing young man. The acquaintanancs
ripened into love, and an engagement

Three weeks ago young Hulsted went
to Philadelphia in search Of his intend
ed bride: they met, and without ask
ing the permission Of the young lady 4
parents, made arrangements to take
the first train for New York. The long
continued absence OF the young lady
from her home excited the alarm Of her
parents, and they went in search OF
her. They finally traced her to the
railroad depot. A train was just ready
to start for New York.
The father Of the young lady, togeth-
er with her brother and sister, got on
the train, determined TO find where she
was. Before the train had gone many
miles the father discovered his daugh-
ter on the same train in company with
Mr.. Hulsted. He concluded to defor
arresting the fugitives until the train
reached Jersey City. When the young
pair learned of the presence Of Mr.. Phil
lips they were at first dismayed. Soon
after they arranged with the conductor
to stop the train at Railway, so that
they could leave IL unnoticed by the
relatives Of Mr.. Phillips, who were in
another car.
AT Railway the train was moved very
slowly, and they jumped of. They
then hired carriage and drove to
Elizabeth, where a minister performed
the wedding ceremony. They then
proceeded to the residence Of the groom
in Now York. The next night the
father Of ths bride and his single
daughter appeared at the residence of
Mr.. Hulsted aud begged her to return
to Philadelphia, alleging the illness of
her mother, but she refused to SO, and
produced the cert tfcate OF her mar
riage.
On Monday last the bride drove of
from the residence Of her father-in law
in carriage with her father and sis
ter. Mr.. Hulsted Informed reporter
that the young lady had gone on a
friendly visit to her fathers house.
Mr.. Phillips is we'll known in Philadel-
phis, and is reputed to be word, several
millions. Young Mr.. Hulstrd has
printing establishment in New York,
and is very prosperous in business.
Mr.. Hu!sted is said TO have told Mr..
Phillips that his sons income was $6,-
900 year, and fully competent TO sup
port a wife.

The Perpetrators Escape to Della
ware.

Last night between sight and nine
o'clock Chief Police Maxwell received
dispatch from the assistant Cashier Of
the V;neland National Bank, stating
that three men had at 1890 p. M, driv
-n up to the bank, and succeeded in
getting a considerable sum Of money.
As they were leaving part Of the money
was given back to the cashier.
The robbers then jumped into their
buggy and made for Salem. Part of
the money taken was in silver dollars,
aud done up in bag. This they dis
posed OF by throwing bag and all, at a
little girl whom they passed on the
road. On reaching Salem they got into
skiff aud made direct for the Della
ware shore.
The pursuers learning Of the route
taken Immediately telegraphed to
Chief Maxwell as above stated. In
the meantime two detectives were set
to work, and they soon started for this
city expecting to head tho fugitives at
Wilmington os their way to Philadel-
pnia. Chief Maxwell met the detectives
and they together awaited the arrival Of
the trains. lpto midnight no one ar
rived.
The detectives started for Philadel-
phia, az soon as possible, and Chief
Maxwell, telegraphed to the authorities
at Baltimore, to await the arrival
of the Ericsson barge, which should
have arrived in Baltimore about six
o'clock this morning. Whether they
succeeded in capturing the burglars
has not been known.
The reward offered reaches $500,
5000 for the captures Of the thieves, and
$500 for the return of the money. The
amount not recovered is $500, 500 of
which is in silver and s700 in Vineland
Bank notes of the denomination of s..
The description reads thus: One OF
the men is about 5 feet 7 inches aud
weighs about l40 pounds of dark com
plexion with mustache; had OIL a soft
hat and dark suit with long overcoat.
Another was stout weighed about l65
pounds short mustache and rough
complexion and was about thirty five
years of age.
The manner in which the robbery
was committed shows considerable
daring. When the three men entered
the bank, there was no one present but
the Teller, Mr.. W. I. Virgil. One of them
offered a check OF $40. While the
check was being attended to- the mans
confederat-s passed around to the safe
door ana grabbed several packages of
bills.
The cashier seeing the movement
rushed upon the man and wrestled a
package containing $500 from him.
The man rushed to the door and jump
ed into the carriage and was followed
by the others.
