ROBT. MORE & co. ROBE D.
LAST night the workshop 4 store
of RDbt. Morc q Co., mac inists,
X q street, were burc larize three
reyolyers and ut o. am milton
b, .ng carried OF. Srtrai e was
eff scoed from Bethe str It, the
bi eal;ing-in being done .hro Ugh the
81 up If Brown & Pl illips, pl mbers.
A gate about six feet hish Is first
climbed over, and the bar at the
back of it removed. THIS indicates
more than one robber, the climber
opening the gate to admit his COM
rades. The rear window of the
plumbing shop looks out on the
yard into which the gate opens. A
stick was used to support the upper
sash Of this WINDOW. The robbers
broke pane of glass in the lower
sash, when it was easy to insert an
arm and remove the stick. When
inside, the robbers climbed up on
rack of iron pipe, thus getting over
a high partition into Robt. More &
Co.'S shop, whence they had clear
road TO the office on King street.
They took the rcvolvers from the
show case or window, or part from
both, and in getting cartridges to
suit disarranged the stock in the
window, many boxes being found
open this morning, with the con-
tents of some scattered about.
Nothing but the arms and ammuni-
ton mentioned is missed. There is
no sign of any attempt upon the
safe of either firm. 1t would there
fore appear to be more the work Of
persons itching for the possession Of
deadly weapons than that of bur-
glars after valuable spoils.
A BURGLAR VISITS THE BRITISH
COMMISSIONER.
Another burglary was committed
at an early hour this morning, and
the boldness of the depred tor was
so great that it makes ones blood
Jingle with madness to think that
the culprit is still at large. 1t hap
pened at two o'clock, an hour Of
profound darkness and heavy slum-
Der, at the residence of Major Wode-
house, II. b. M. Commissioner. Mrs.
Wodehouse, who was resting half
awake, was disturbed by peculiar
noise in the hallway that leads from
the parlor to the dining room, and
fearing something wrong she got up
and struck a light, when all of
sudden there was terrible racket of
falling chairs and a hasty retreat of
someone. A burglar, apparently
r well acquainted with t. inner
: structure of the house, haG entered
$ by one of the front doors t. at opens
l into the parlor, and although there
1 were great many valuab, in that
8 room he passed thu ough nto the
$ dining room and ther to The Majors
dressing room, where Is daily
apparel, gold watch and OF ,r valu-
i ablcs were. 1t was just zen that
t Mrs. Wodehou4e struCk Z e light,
t and the burglar lec)mlne alarmed
! made the disturbance witt the fur
u ntre, in his HI, sty retreat dropping
: his plumber, the Naj)i 5 cipthes, in
. the dining room and parEor. 1t is
y believed that The robber dropped
: everything he had been collecting
!. for removal. i'recaution will be
taken against another visit Of the
kind.
