Two Houses Burslarised.

At all early hour last evening the
residence of William II. Swift. No.

a thief, who gained access through a
window. He ransacked a bureau in

cred everything in confusion, but the
robber had flown. About ten O'Clock

heuce of Henry L. Tatnall, No. 1904

by climbing on the porch and entered
through a window, after he had broken
the fastenings. He then locked himself
in and began a search for valuables. He
