BURGLARS At NEWARK.
Fhey go Through the TOwn in
Earnest.


Earnest.
Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journal
NEWARK, Sept. 3.-Burglars came down
on the town with vengeance last night,
and paid unwelcome visits in six or seven
places.
At the Deer Park Hotel, John Z. Lewis,
proprietor, an entrance was effected
through window in the kitchen, thence
to the bar-room through small opening
in the wall about 10 by Is inches. This
ls the most mysterious part of the whole
thing and it is thought by some that
small boy was used in the operation,
as no man could squeeze through
such small aperature. Once in they
took several coats and emptied the money
drawer of small change, but failed to
notice small box containing two hand
some finger rings belonging to the bar
tender, and said to be worth at lenst so.
These were found by the happy pussessor
this morning undisturbed.
They next went to the Washington
House, kept by James A. Wilson, and
pried open the front bar-room shutter.
About $l2 were extracted from the money
drawer, and some clothes of the hostler
were taken. Other miscellaneous articles.
oueh 10 oiBhIoi ieNolNeTs, tbc., are missed.
Singularly enough they failed to touch
any liquors, as far as is discovered, at
either of the above-named places.
Broads market house, next door east
of the hotel, suffered the loss of six
watermelons, which the burglars COM
placently ate during the entire act. Mrs.
Griffith, next door below Broad's, was
comparatively fortunate in the loss of
only few pennies, but if the robbers
had carried out their intentions they
would have escaped with some
valuable ''swag" in the form
of silver. Much silver was packed
up preparatory to leaving, and they were
evidently scared away by the awakening
OF one of the family up stairs They had
locked all the doors as precautionary
measure against interruption, and the
family, after late rising, found them
selves completely barricaded in the second
story. The family attribute their late
rising to the use of chloroform.
Mr.. Dunbar's residence on Chanel
street, was also visited without success,ns
Mrs. Dunbar was housed aud frightened
the thief although she plainly recognized
his color as black.
Editor Bowen of the Delapdye leu
suffered the loss of some edibles and
few copies of his paper.
This is said TO be the largest raid til.
was ever made in one night, although
quite Improbable to the perpetrators.
Various and conflicting rlmors are rife
concerning their identity, but nothing is
known with any certainty except thnt
they are colored persons.

THE b. UE SPRINGS ROBBERY.
The Robbers Probably Green Hands
Searching for Them.


KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Sept. 3.-The
booty secured by the train robbers at
Blue Springs amounted to only about $50
in money. Nothing else was taken. The
robbers are described as appearing
awkward and nervous and evidently
unused to such work. They were roughly
dressed and had the appearance of farm
hands. Each wore small black mask.
}. ii. Andrews, n business man of this
city, who was on the platform of the
smoker, relates that when the men ap-
preached the Car he thought they were
trarips They boarded the second car MS
the train was pulling out from the sta
tion, and n moment later he started
through for the rear of the train. At the
rear door of the smoker he was met by
tho guard who pointed revolver
ut him and called upon him to stand still.
He obeyed and from the doorway watched
the proceedings in the enr. The whole
transaction he thought did not occupy
over five minutes before the robbers com
mnnded n brakeman to pull the bell rope
and stop the train.
Blue Springs is n small station in
thickly wooded district and situated near
Glendale and Blue Cut, the scenes of
former robberies in the days of the James
gang. The train, which was due here at
$50 p. m, was nearly an hour late and
on its arrival preparations were made to
send special train from here with "A
strong posse to search for the miscreants.
Every effort will be made TO apprehend
them.
The Times Blue Springs special says
"The robbers started northward from the
railroad, and n posse from the town was
soon i'll pursuit. The men were seen
about the station before the train arrived
One was dressed in brown coat, black
pantnloons and hat, and had black hair
aud moustache. His weight is about l5O
pounds. The other men were not noticed
closely enough for description to be

Il TALU1BLE HORSE BURNED.
Fire in II Dangerous Neighbour
hood Quickly Checked.


The alarm of fire from box No. G..
Tenth and Walnut streets, about $50
O'Clock, Friday night, was caused by n con
migration at the stable owned by James
A. Anderson, in the rear of S17 Walnut
street. The fire department quickly res
ponded, and in less than an hour had the
flames entirely subdued. In this respect
the work of the department was highly
creditable, as the neighborhood is n very
dangerous one for fire to occur in. Two
other stables and frame blacksmith
shop adjoining the one which was des-
troyed, and several very inhammable
structures are in the immediate vicinity.
The iiremen worked promptly and intelii
gently and certainly deserve credit for
their efficient operations.
The stable in which the fire originated,
owned by Mr.. Anderson, was almost en-
tlrely consumed and brick stable ad-
dining, owned by L. w. Stidham Il Son,
was severely Scared and scorched. A
two-story frame dwelling house, owned by
Sallie A. White and occupied by Joshua
Mercer, also caught fire, but the flames
were extinguished before much damage
was done.
The most disastrous result of the fire
was the loss of the well-known trotting
mare Lizzie G, owned by Thomas Carroll,
and kept in the Anderson stable, which
could not be rescued and was burned to
death. She was splendid animal, with
record of 2.30, only 8 years old and
valued at $4,000. She was insured for
81 600 in L. p. Buck and Co. IS insurance
agency. -Four horses, carriage and
cart in Stidham's stable were taken out
safely, but dearborn owned by Mr..
Anderson and kept in his stable was
burned, together with some hay, feed,
and lot of harness.
Messrs. Anderson and Stidham are fully
insured with l.. P. Buck 4 Co., and the
slight loss on the house, owned by Miss
White, is also covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is a profound
mystery.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: The trouble
oroasioned by the passage of objection
able insurance laws by the New Hamp-
shire Legislature appears to be reaching
the dimensions of positive sensation.
The prominent mercantile agencies of
this city pcrceiving the commercial
effects of an entire state being left
without facilities of indemnity
against loss by fire, have been
interviewing some of the leading under
writer's to day, and have cometo the con-
clusion that the refusal of the fire COM
p mics TO renew insurance or accept new
insurance, is n serious blow to the pros
perity of any state, and will so report to
their constituents. Meanwhile nothing is
more patent than that the governor will
be compelled to call special session of
the Legislature to repeal the bills in qnes-
ton

THE Bar COLLISION.
Statements Made by the Captains of
the Two Vessels.


The Norwegian barque Ephrussi carry
ing general cargo and bound for Oporto,
collided with the coasting schooner A. II,
Weeks, bound for Portsmouth, N. I'll.
laden with coal, off Brandywine light on
Sunday evening at o'clock. Both ves-
sells were towed back to this city for re-
pairs and arrived yesterday. Captain
Brun of the Ephrussi said
"The collision occurred during day-
light, while both vessels were beating
down the bay against head winds, and
was caused by ill-judged crossing of the
vessels courses. The schooner ran under
the briggs bow and tore away her iibboom
and twisted her cut-water. Several planks
amidships of the schooner were broken
and her main rigging torn loose; several
of her stanchions were also torn off. All
the damage to the schooner is ou the port
side.n
Frank Moore, pilot on the barque at the
time, refused to make any statement
about the accident, simply saying:
''There was collision, and that is all l
will say about it."
In his statement to his ship brokers
Captain Henley of the schooner, says that
the brig was to blame. According to his
statements the two vessels were beating
down the buy. At the time of the col
lision the schooner was running on the
starboard tack and the brig on the port.
According to sailing rules this would
give the schooner the right of way and if
the brig was not far enough ahead to pass
clear of the schooners bows she should
have passed astern of her. When
the officer in charge of the brig
found that he could not pass
across the bows of the schooner,
which was holding steadily on her course,
he attempted to drop astern, but it was
too late and the brig struck the schooner
fairly amidships ON the port side, tearing
away her main rigging and rail, several
stanchions and damaging the yawl-boat.
The Ephrussi will be dry docked for re-
pairs. She was damaged to the extent of
about $500. The A. Il. Weeks will be put
into the dry dock as soon as her owner, j.
d. Farr of Portland, Maine, who was tele
graphed for, arrives. Several new planks
will have to be put into her.
The damage on the schooner will
amount to about 81, 200. Both vessels
had sailed from this port, the Ephrussi
ON Thursday and the Weeks on Saturday.
