BURGLARS blow a. safe Open.

The safe in M. Clark & Sons coal Office,
Derby, was blown open by burglars Monday
night. They drilled hole in it and used
guppowder. There being no money in the
safe, however, they secured nothing to re-
ward them for their trouble. Subsequently
the house of Captain zenas Platt was en-
tered, presumably by the same parties. They
appear to have made general search of the
house, but, as far as can be discovered, car
ried away nothing but a silk dress.

him two hours to find a policeman on his
beat, and then once in awhile he was not to

January 25-Officer Ahern refused to obey
orders from the roundsman, inasmuch as the
officer did not report as he was requested.
January 29-Oficer Cannon was seen talk

very much from Langley in his opinion of

working order as it ever was. The rounds

powered by the Board to reprimand any OF
ficer who commits otfenses of this character
in the future, subject to the approval of the
! Board.
Applications for positions on the force were
| filed from John T. Campion and Patrick Nc

A Switch Engine and a Teams Narrow
Escape.


That was very peculiar accident which
befell man named Hackett and his team yes
terday morning. Racket was engaged in
delivering merchandise to Yale & Bryan on
State street. A convenient way for him to
deliver his stuff was by driving up to the
rear of the store and in doing this be had to
cross the Derby track. After taking off his
load of goods he started to go back over the
track again and WAS about midway on the
rails when the Derby switcher came slowly
along backing down some freight cars. 1t
struck Hackett's wagon and began to slowly
push it, the horse and Hackett, who was in
the wagon, along down the track. For fully
thirty feet the wagon was gradually showed
along until finally it was thrown from the
track altogether. Hackett was fearfully
scared, but uninjuzed. The horse was
considerably bruised and the wagon partly
demolished. It was a most marvellous escape
for Hackett, and those who were watching
the incident expected every moment to see
him crushed under the wheels of the train.
A reporter was told by policeman that
earlier in the day Hackett came very nearly
meeting with an accident in the same spot
and was then cautioned about the danger he
was running in crossing the track at that
point.
