Careless Bank omcers.

Shortly after nine O'clock, as Police
man LOTUS was trying the doors on
Broad street, Newark, he found the
doors of the Newark City National
Bank, at the corner of Clinton and
Broad streets, unlocked and the inner
door open. He raped for assistance,
and then rushed into the bank, where
he saw a light in the rear. Hearing a
noise in the cellar he went down stairs,
where he found the janitor, who had
left the doors open. +.
Loftus had hardly reached the cellar
before Officers Crane, Serbia, Van Ness
and Christie were in the bank ali
ready for action. When they salts
fed themselves that everything was
safe they left the building, much to
the qualification of the ianitor, who
was angry at their intrusion. He
closedth iron door with a slam which
shook the building. A citizen who
witnessed the affair commended the
officers for their promptness.
