the year 1884. Subsequently, his father
having died. the family moved to Wash

boy was apprenticed to carpenter TO learn

years Of his indenture, but early evinced 3
fondness for scientific researches and ex-
periments with galvanism and electricity.
In 1857 he entered Oberlin College. In

Sergeant Brown, Of the Twentieth pre-
cinct, made report TO Superintendent
Walling this morning OF an alleged raid
upon the kindling-wOod yard OF George
Siemon, Mt No. $50 west Thirtieth street.
The circumstances OF the affair have created
the suspicious OF the police, who are inclined
% consider the story rs rather doubtful.
Joseph Block Is watchman at the kindling-
wood yard. The police report embraces
bis story OF the alleged outrage, as follows /:

the five craftsmen a1l hour and bali to
force IL open, only 10 lind that it was quite
empty. There was nothing ut all Of value

mad, and they swore and threatened to
burn up the place. When they finally dc
parted, Block wriggled loose to save him

some sign OF fire. but, not finding any,
busted himself with his ordinary duties,
