1T q the city were visited and at four OF
80 ontrancts were effected. The thieves
q some remarkably clover work, but
oneossdsa In getting very little for their
oeuob.e.
Ths placs that is supposed 10 have been
vigitod nrst this morning is the BAravisn
HomA saloon ON North Queen street,
aSoyo New, which was formerly the North
PsasI and 10 kept by Philip Dasslnger.
Hsro they nrst attem ptei to enter the rear
ooor OF the barroom. They used jimmy on
the door and although they left number
Of large marks they could not open IL They
then went 10 the kitchen door, and by
msaus OF the same instruments succeeded
IN breaking the latch aud pryipg 1t open.
They passed through the dining room into
the entry In the front Of the house. The
door leading from the entry 70 the barroom
wss soon pried open, and the latch was
broken Of. From q drawer behind the
counter about as cents In pennies wsssolen.
The bottles containing drinkables were
vt out on tho bar, and ono,
which contained the best whisky in

and left standing on the table. Around
she barroom h.or matches, that had been
lighted BY the thieves, to enable them n
~, we're scattered. MIR. Dassinger had
mcusy In his room upstairs, but the thieves
did not 40 mp 10 SEQ about II
They LETT the building after going through
ths basroom, where they In all probability
took . number OF drinks to get their
eoufags up A noise made by the thieves
4 n slamming one OF the down ssairs doors
Was plainly heard BY the family. That was
abous o'clodk and they supposed II Wa
the wind. Al 8 o'clock, when Mr.. Dasslnger
arooa he found what wss wroDR.
From Mr.. Dassinger's the thieves likely
Wsus 10 the house Of Isaac Mearig ct No
5al North Duke street They bored num-
boe Of holes In shutter, and tried TO lit the
small cAtch at the bottom. Finding they
could not open the shutter 10 that way they
used . Jimmy. They also pried tho d Dor
bat could not get in. Next door TO Mr.
Aearie's, as No. 500, lives George w. With
& The thieves went TO his house next They
walked In the alley from Duke street
shutting the gate Esnd locking II inside
They hrst went TO the rear and entered
summsr kitchen, through window, which
they merely pushed up. From this room
thsy made their way into the house BY
pryipg open the door, tho lock OF whicl
they broke to pieces. They went al
through the lower part Of The house bu
took nothing. Mrs. Wirth heard nois

Nhe went out OF her room door and ~ sh
looked down stairs she saw man haston
Ing through the entry towards the back Q
ne house where he Tassed out Mts Witt
NV him plainly, but could not recog

Immediately In the rear Of the house occu
Piled by George w. Wirth. Mr.. Westwoo'
was at one OF the windows OF his house on th

from Wirth's yard over into his. He calie
70 one of them and asked what they wante
thsrt; one Of them replied, What In tn
he'll do yon want up there 4" They the
hastened out OF the alley into Christis
- utsoes and got away. That was about
o'clock.
Tho house of DR.. Levergood, which Is N,
n East James street, at the corner OF Chri
tian, and about hall . square from With
