Attempted Safe Robbery.

Some time during Saturday night an attempt was made by unknown parties to blow open the safe in the office of A. D. Ctis' lumber yard. The parties gain ed entrance by sprln ging the jamb of the rear door sufficient to permit the lock bolt to escape the catch. The safe combination disk was then wrenched of, after which a hole was punched through the easing of the safe door, near one of the horizontal lock bolts, and powder was inserted in the aperture thus made and exploded by means of Q piece of fuse At this stage of affairs the bur glara evidently became alarmed and suddenly left the premises, leaving be- hind them the heavy sledge and drill which had been stolen by them from the blacksmith shop of Dalton ds Vasquez. Some powder and fuse were scattered about tine floor; the candle they had used was lying ID the center of the room, and the tools lay just as they were drop ped by the alarmed cracksmen.
 Chief Of Police Johnston took charge of the tools and found their owner, and during the course of the day Sunday, he caused a number of tramps to be arrest ed on suspicion. These were examined this morning and all but one were dis charged.
 Had they succeeded in gaining en- trance to the safe they would have found but poor recompense for their trouble, as no large sum of money is ever left there over night and on this occasIon 1t contained but few dollars,

A War Reminiscence.

"This weather IS a faint reminder of the winter of 1884" said MT. W. Shep- herd yesterday to a Times reporter, "Gen. Wheaton's brigade. Second divis- ion of the Sixth army corps, was sta tioned at Brandy Station, Va, and on Dec. 31 received orders to move to Wash iDgtOn, and thence to Hampers Ferry. During the morning a heavy slset had fallen, and about noon the wind chang ed to the north, and such a freeze was perhaps never known. About o'clock in the afternoon the whole command, 2,9OO men, were put aboard train of cattle-cars and started to Washington. We were all night making the journey, and such another night I never passed. The thermometer was 8 below, and as We tore across the country at the rate of thirty miles an hour, with biting wind sweeping through the cars, it was all one could do tO keep from freezing. By vigorous and constant exercise most of the men got through all right, but but when We landed in Washington, New Years morning, it was found that over three hundred of the command had been more or less frozen, seven poor fellows so badly that their legs and arms had to be Rmpuiated."
 When did you continue your jour ney"
 "That same day We were hurried into the cars and sent to Harper's Ferry, but not before We had been taken to the gov ernment quarters and filled up with hot coffee and substantials. The rest of the trip was somewhat different, sbut I as- sure you we didn't melt. '-Kansas City Times.

Somnambulist Bertha Deidmuller's Strange Position on a Winter
 Night

"There is a child hanging on the clothesline in our yard" said tenant of the dwelling No. 360 South Fourth street, Williamsburgh, to Roundsman Frank German last week.
 Tt was about o'clock in the morn ing, said the sergeant. in narrating the | story to reporter, and I was not a little amazed. As l hurried to the house my informant said while he ran by my side;
 "I looked from my window on enter ing the house because thought I heard some one singing in the yard. The sound was just like that which a woman would make while rocking a child to sleep. Not seeiug any person iu the yard, went down into #, because | thought 1t very strange that a woman should out there in the cold and snow. As l was about to pass a grape arbo- I saw child hanging on the clothes line
 "The man pointed the child out to me when we got into the yard. On a stat of the arbor, about twelve feet mp, | was a little girl. She was resting with her head against one of the arbor posts, and her crossed feet propped against another post As I looked up at her heard her murmuring, Mother, come, mother
 'I got a stepladder and took her down. She stopped speaking, but saw that she was asleep, and was careful not to awake her. The tenant of the house, who was with me, recognized her as the daughter of the occupant of the frst floor. Once more while she lay on a bench in the yard, she raised her hand and said, Q, mother, come,' beckoning | toward some object.
 "There was full moon. The child, as she nestled on the supports of the arbor, had her gaze fixed upon the moon and turned tU look upon it when I placed her on the bench. When the parent of the girl placed her in bed, she was yet asleep When she awoke she began to sob and then to cry.
 Her name IS Bertha Deidmuller, mad she IS If years old. Her father says that last summer he found her on the roof of the house twice. both tunes asleep, and both times leaning against the chimney and gazing at the moor, murmuring, Mother, come, mother The child. he said, sleeps with her sister. She is aware that she walks in her sleep, and strives | to break the habit, twining her arms about her sister SO as tO awaken herself if she moves. Her mother died about a year ago."-New York Sun.
