AN OLD LADY LIVING NEAR ANDRES

BURGLARS.
From N. Y. Star. f
CLosTER, N. Y, July ia mys-
terious murder, shocking In its details,
occurred last night at Tappan village,
near the Andre monument. The victim
was Miss M. Brennan, So years old, who
lived with her brother and slster-ir-law.
Footprints in the wet ground indicate
that couple of men went to the rear
wiHdow, looked Ia and saw the husband
and wife asleep, then they vent around
TO the front of the house and one held
open, while the other entered through,
one Of the windows.
Miss Brennan was awakened and
the intruders strangled her to stop her
cries and then killed her with a club.
Her brother heard the noise and got
up, but discovered nothing and went
to bed. AT 5 O'Clock he found his sis.

house though iG is supposed the object
OF the murderers was burglary. Two
mysterious stragglers we're seen on the

and Sc arch is being made for the mur-
derers in every direction, but SO far
without avail.

At IL Again.

ROBBERS SMASH THE BULK WIN
DOW OF e. X. CRAwFoRD's SHOE
STORE.
E. X. Crawford, boot and shoe
dealer, No. 6 W. Second street,
seems to have been under ban for
some time past. 1t has been but a
very short time ago since a thief
broke one Of the glasses in the store
doors, and stole pair Of coarse
boots.
This morning about l:50 o'clock
the sleeping residents in the vicinity
Of the store were startled from their
slumbers by hearing a loud crash as
of falling glass. William II. Quinn
was one Of the first to proceed in the
direction of the noise, and upon
arriving in front of Mr.. Crawford's
store he found that the glass in the
large bulk window had been broken.
Mr.. Quinn upon making the discov-
cry went Immediately to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Crawford, Second and
West streets, and informed that gen.
tleman Of what had occurred.
Mr.. Crawford at once dressed HIM
self and proceeded to the store, and
found upon examination that one
pair Of buckle brogans, one pair of
fine button CATERS and one pair Of
Congress CATERS had been stolen,
From the appearance Of things il
seems to prove that the same person
who broke the glass in the door a
short time ago, at about the same
hour, was the one who broke the
windows last night. Mr.. Crawford
cannot imagine why he should be
singled out each time. One person
did the deed, as those who were
awakened by the crashing glass
heard only one person running away
from the vicinity. The greatest losi
is in the glass, as it will cost abou
500 to replace it.
