 BURGLARS AT WORK AGAIN. The House of Enos S. Kimberly
 Entered Last Evening During the
 Absence of the Family and Property
 Valued at Two Hundred Dollars
 Taken.
 The house of Enos S. Kimberly, 495 Orange street, was again entered early last evening by what are thought to have been professional burglars and articles valued at about s2OO stolen.
 The burglary occurred during the ab- sence from the house of the members of the family. Early in the evening Mir. and Mrs. Kimberly went out to spend the evening, having been preceded but short time by the servant, Annie Cloughessy. About 9:30 o'clock the servant returned to the house and upon entering was sur prised to find the gas in the dining room lighted and turned up high and the room in disorder. The drawers of the sideboard were wide open and their contents scat tered all around the room.
 Further investigation showed that every room in the house had been entered and the contents turned upside down and scat tered about in confusion, while heavy chair had been braced up against the front door under the knob, so as to prevent it's being opened from the outside in case any of the family should unexpectedly return.
 The girl at once ran to the hause of MT. E. s. Miller, a neighbor. at 472 Orange street, and the fact of burglary having been committed was communicated to the police authorities. Sergeant McGrath and Officer Farrell responded to the call and searched the premises, but could find no trace of the robbers.
 The burglars effected an entrance through basement window in the rear of the house by prying off the screen and the catch which secured the window. They then jumped through the window into the kitchen and thence went into the upper portion of the house. In Mr. Kimber1y's room they pried open with Jimmy" the strong box in which MT. Kimberly kept his private papers, and after examining them and finding them of no value to them scattered them all over the floor.
 It is supposed that the burglars were frightened off by the return of the ser want, as they left behind them some sil-- verware which they had evidently pre- pared to remove. They were very par ticular as to what they took. leaving all the silver-plated ware untouched.
 It was impossible, owing to the con- fusion which prevailed everywhere, for MT. Kimberly to state upon his return ex- actly what was missing, but he was able to enumerate the following articles as having been stolen: A gold watch belonging to Mrs. Kimberly, with the monogram F. c. K. on the case and valued at $100; two dozen solid silver teaspoons, several other articles of silverwars and $4 in money.
 The burglars made their escape by means of the back door which they left open all the time they were in the house in order to facilitate their escape.
 There is no clue to the perpetrators of fife deed but Sergeant McGrath had the docks and depot closely watched last even ing for suspicious looking characters.
