The reporter met Mr.. Frank McKeon and

Mr.. McKeon stated to the reporter that it
was fact that he aud Mr.. Boyle held one

that he was told that he had wOu five

Il An unknown white man was drowned
from the sloop Thunderbolt, lying at the
wharf between the Market dock and

sistance, and the man sank quickly out of

and the body was carried down the river.

was, but the habitues of the wharves believe
that it was man named Lynch, tailor
who has been idle for couple Of months

watching "a small sloOp for several days
The owner had refused to pay him, and in
fit of anger Lynch went ashore and got

HOUSE THIEVES AT WORK.
Burglars Make a Haul from NJ. A.
Barie's Residence.

Barie's Residence.
NJ. A. Barie's residence on Second avenue,
two doors from Abercorn street, was bur-
glarized a night or two ago, and a gold
watch, valued at $175. handsome chain
and locket, and several dollars in currency
were stolen.
The articles were taken from a front
room in the second story of the house. The
family retired about 10 O'Clock, leaving a
lamp burning in the room, and the theft
was committed between that time and
o'clock in the morning. The tracks of the
thief were visible on both the upper and
lower porches The superstition is that he
reached the upper porch by means of one
of the columns supporting it. The windows
to Mr.. Barrels room were unfastened, and
an entrance was easily effected Mr.. Barie's
clothing was on a chair near his bed, and
within arms reach lay his revolver. The
lamp burned brightly all the time.
After etfecting his entrance the thief
went through tho clothing on the chair and
scattered it over the room, and also up
turned several articles on the bureau. The
watch lay near jewel casket, containing a
lady's gold watch bracelets, earrings and u
number of trinkets, Which the thief did not
disturb.
When Mr.. Barrie awoke at 4 o'clock Tues
day morning ne experlenced q queer sensa-
ton, and he remarked to his wife, who awoke
about the same time, that he felt as if he
had taken morphine. He arose to dress
himself and saw his clothing scattered over
the floor. He looked for his watch, and
finding it missing, he told his wife that the
house had been burglarized. He immedi-
ately informed the detectives of the affair,
and they arc looking into the matter.
From the tracks on the porch, Mr.. Barrie is
confident that negro is the thief The
watch had Mr.. Barie's initials on the case.
