A SUCCESSFUL BURGLARY.-At some time
during night before last burglars made sue.
cessful raid upon the wholesale liquor estab-
lishment of Casey & Cronin, on K street,
between Second and Third. Entrance was
effected by cutting a hole through the brick
wall at the rear end of the basement, by the
side of an iron door, through which opening
the iron bar which held the door closed was
removed. Upon thus getting inside they ad-
dressed themselves to the safe, an old one of
the Iiiton y Mcfarland patent, which was
located at the rear end of the office, upon the
main floor, and near the front end of the
store. The work was accomplished BY pick,
fermer chisel, cold chisel and brace and
bit, which were found upon the floor yester-
day morning. A large hole was cut and dug
through the door, when it was found that the
second door of steel was underneath. The
attack from that side was then abandoned,
and two holes were cut and drilled through
the back side and an opening effected to
the interior. A bag containing about S147
in silver wac obtained, but an apart
ment of the safe, having quite an amount of
gold coin, was not found by them. From
the money-drawer in the Office about $50
more in silver was obtained, and gold
watch, worth about $50, belonging to Mr.
Cronin. Nothing else of Importance was
taken. 1t was ascertained yesterday that
the tools used by the burglars upon the safe
except the pick, were stolen the same night
from the chest of Moses Hathaway, at Front
and n streets where he was building boat
The pick is marked ST. D. and was OBJ.
tanned from some other source. There is as
yet no clue to the burglars. It is a subject
of much eminent that so much pounding
and heavy work as must have been done in
getting into the safe could have taken place
almost at the front door of the building, with
special Waterman guarding the block, and
Others frequently passing all night, without
having been noticed.
METROPOLITAN THEArER-DIiss Soldene,
in Genevieve de Brabant last night, sang
much better; indeed, with special sweetness
and power and Won unequivocal success in
the balcony duo with Stella, the songs, Sc
cret of Youth" the serenade "Sleep On,
and Marriage Bells" Rose Stella YVES
also very pleasing in her selections. The
opera is unsteady far the superior of "Chil-
peric," but is by no means such a rollickng
piece. The troupe tonight presents "Oli-
vette, and for it not only has there been
much preparation, but also great expectation.
1t is full of delightful musical gems, and is
pronounced chaste and more than charming
opera. 1t IS now the rage at the East, as
Ruch as "Pinafore was in its palmy days.
The Soldene troupe improves on acquaint-
ance, and its quality and capacity is found to
be better and greater than hearing in such
wild hurrah as Chilperic" would lead one
TO believe. It is probable that tonight will
see the theater filed completely TO hear
"Olivette." Miss Duggan last night made
her first appearance in vocal solo parts. She
is the same who so astonished the auditors
the first night by the hight to which she can
elevate her toe. Evidently this troupe has q
variety of talent at command and in Duggan,
Hersee, Marshall, Campbell and Stella, have
some rare good comedy material.
