rison streets, was entered by burglars be-
tween and Thursday evening. 1t lie
supposed they gained access to the house
by climbing the porch on the northeast
side OF the residence. The bed rooms on
the second floor were ransacked, bureaus
opened and quantity OF vaIuables stolen
including two gold watches, diamond
pin, four geld pins, three gold rings and
some clothing. At the time of the rob-
berry the only occupants Of the house
were Mrs. and Miss Carpenter and the
servant girls. The fact Of the burglary
was discovered first by Miss Carpenter,
who, upon going upstairs to her room,

revealed what had occurred. There exists
no clue whstever to the perpetrators OF
