Masked Burglars.

Murderous Attack on a Night Watch
 man Desperate Encounter The
 Watchman Shot i'm the Head.
 About half-past two o'clock yesterday morning two men, wearing masks and armed with revolvers and steel bars, entered the factory of Eaton, Cole & Burnham in Bridge port, making murderous attack on Patrick Sullivan, the night watchman. A desperate fight ensued and Sullivan was shot in the head by one of the masked men, and the other man struck him on the head with steel bar, intiicting frightful wound. The burglars were afterward frightened away, leaving revolver, mask, brick and gag and some tools behind. Sullivan is badly injured, though possibly not fatally. Yesterday being pay day with the company, it is thought that the burglars were after money, thinking it would be found in the safe.
 The Easton, Cole & Burnham company are large manufacturers of plumbers goods and occupy two large shops. Their pay roll is l about $40, 900 and the burglars designs upon the safe were probably inspired by hope of finding this sum.
 Sullivan had just made his rounds and was l sitting in the office. He did not see the men until they were upon him. They struck him twice on the head, but he managed to get up ! and going to the window thrust his hand l through the glass and shouted for help to l the Naugatuck railroad watchman. At l this the men started to run, but Sullivan grappled with one of them, who threw him l quickly. Then he drew an old revolver from
 his pocket and fired with no apparent effect
 The next instant he was shot by one of the
 robbers, the ball striking his chin and lodg- 1 ing under it's apex. Stunned and badly l wounded as he was he still followed the bur glars. They went from the office into an ad-
 joining hallway and then outside into an alley
 way More shots were exchanged in the
 meantime, one ball fired by the burglars be- ing found in the partition in the hall. Sulli-
 van fired twice, but thinks the burglars dis
 charged some half.dozen shots His assail-
 ants, instead of trying to escape through the yard ran into the engine room of the next
 shop. John Hammond, the assistant watch
 man, was in the room and, not understanding
 the trouble, called to Sullivan to stop shoot
 ing. The burglars got out of the engine I room into the yard and escaped.

 Chip Smiths EIabeas Corpus. A writ of t05e0s corpus in the interest of sChip" Smith was brought before Judge Hitchcock in the civil side of the Superior Court yesterday. The purpose of the writ is to bring Smith before the court, when his attorneys, Judge Blydenburgh and Mir. Fox, will argue the question as to the validity of the indictment under which Smith was tried and convicted. It is understood that State Attorney Doolittle will enter objections on the ground that the A06eas corpus should have been brought before criminal and not civil court. The papers were handed to the Judge and he will probably give his decision this morning as to his jurisdiction in the matter

Rribinr BOY.
Detroit Free Press.l

Detroit Free Press.l
In cleaning up a little yesterday
after the Christmas rush, small
dealer IN toys, papers and confection-
cry, on Gratiot avenue, found among
his trash what the boys call "a thun-
dering big fire cracker" 1t had been
hidden away ever since the Fourth of
July, and the man no sooner found it
than be was possessed Of a desire to
make some one happy. He dared not
throw it into his stove, and
it seemed a grievous waste to
fling it into the ally. He,
therefore, waited and patience was
soon rewarded, just as she always is.
A boy came in with cents worth of
taffy, and he was closely followed by a
dog big enough to carry off the front
steps Of a meeting. house. The big
tire-cracker was exhibited and the
case explained, and the party of the
second part, in consideration of FIVE
sticks of candy, gave the party Of the
first part leave to attach the cracker
to the dogs tail and FIRE it off. The
canine offered no serious objections,
and things were soon in shape.
The boy then led the dog out on the
walk, the fuse was ignited, and d.
rectly there was an explosion which
set the dog to thinking faster than
ever before in his life. He wheeled
and dashed back into the store, and
made six or seven circuits of the room,
and then, embarrassed, confused and
anxious to get home and overhaul
himself for repairs, he took a jump
through one Of the doors and left 81
worth of glass in pieces on the side
walk. Some of the crowd sat down to
laugh, while others leaned against the
wall and yelled hawl hawl hawl at the
top Of their voices The frecracker
man was the only one who seemed abb
stracted.
