His Last Burglary.

A burglar is said to be particular
Iy afraid of two things when he en-
tiers a house IN the mid hours or the
night. One Is a burning light and
the other a barking watch dog.
There are three other dangers to he
avoided: First, the occupant Of the
chamber entered may be q light
sleeper, who Is aroused at the ilghtest
football or creak of a door; second,
he may be lying awake at Tie time
the entry is made; and, third, his
loaded pistol may be within convent
ent reach 10 afford him protection.
The killing of burglar occurred II
the suburbs OF New Jersey on the
night Of the 10th inst, under circum-
stances IN which there was neither q
burning lamp nor a barking watch
dog. The resident OF the dwelling
attempted TO be buTglaTiZed was N.
Choate, cashier OF the Seaboard bank,
in Newark. The burglar got into
the house, but made 81 much noise
in opening the door Is 20 awaken Mr..
Choate. His wife slept Ia an adjOin-
ing room. and he called 10 ask her
what occasioned the noise. She said
it must be the wind. He thought
differently, and seizing his revolver
sprang from his bed and rushed into
the hall where he lighted the saS.
The burglar passed into Mrs. Choate's
chamber and concealed himself be
hind her bed. He was observed by
Mrs. ChOate. who called to her hus-
band. apprising of that fact, and he
entered discharging shot at the
burglar. which missed him. The lat
ter ran to IN open window and had
got one leg over the sill when Mr..
Cheate fired again, the bullet hitting
him IN the back and ranging through
his heart. He got ont on the roof OF
an extension. where, IN few NOM
ents, he was found dead.
This particular burglar was armed
with self-cocking revolver which lie
was about to draw when the second
shot ended his inglorious career
There is no class of criminals, unless
If may be those who lie in wait to
commit murder, for which more
horror is felt and less sympathy
than the burglar. and 1t Is safe to sa!
that the public never reads OF an IN
stance such as is here related that II
is not rejoiced at the deserved fate ot
the criminal victim.
