A BAD JOB At SAFE CRACKING
Burglars Cat . Wire which RiaSs ~
Alara ssA Frightens Then Away.

A sensitive burglar alarm and probationary
policeman prevented big safe robbery at q
very early hour yesterday morning. It was q
few minutes after Probationary Of1cer John
Dalton had left the Mulberry street station on
his early morning tour. His post included the
block on Grand street. on the south side be-
tween Mott and Elizabeth streets. He had
reached point opposite 213 Grand street
when he heard violent ringing Of bells In the
big flve-story building at that number. and
called to his assistance Policeman James
Quinn. They could not get into the house. and
ran with all speed to the station house.
Sergeant Golden turned out the night pla-
toop. They found that the burglar alarm was
ringing on the third floor. which Is occupied
by Meyers 4 Won Prein. manufacturing jewell
lers II was evident that the burglars had en-
tered BY an iron ladder which rested on the
roof OF q covered area. one story high. This
ladder was section OF FIRE escape. and evil
IDENTIFY had been brought there over tho roofs
Of the tenement houses on Elizabeth street.
Tho burglars had descended to the covered area
from another building by means Of the ladder
upon which they climbed to the second story Of
Johnson Brothers iron works. and. like the
tse hs HS% 1ns %
sawed big hole in this partition. and took
from the omce large draughttng table with
wooden horses. which they carried to the floor
above.
Mounted upon the draughting table the
cracksmen proceeded to cut their way into tie
office OF Meyers Won Preif. 10 which stood Q
and jewelry. But they had not reckoned upon
the network Of burglar alarm wires which
covered the, walls. and they probably had not
been at work more than q minute or two be-
fore they cut wire.
:, Apparentlyths burglars fed when they heard
the ringing Of the alarm. They made their es-
cape by the way in which they had come In
their haste leaving behind large jimmy. q
braces. and a dark lantern. All these imple-
Ipents belong to professional craftsmen, but
owners must have been hard pressed for
money to use such played .out tools
Neither Mr.. Meyers nor Mr. Won Preiff would
state the value OF the contents Of the safe.

A Shark Tries To Eat Model Yacht

A Shark Tries To Eat Model Yacht.
Speaking of the peculiarities of
sharks" rema rked the Rev. DR.. Luther
recently when was staying at Ocean
Beach, Conn, lately l witnessed a most
markable occurrence. The Connecti-
cut Model Yacht Club were sailing race
on the Sound, and the custom there is
to follow the model in row boats. The
carrying from forty to fifty pounds Of
lead on heir keels, with sail spread in
proportion. OF course In strong breeze
it requires a powerfully manned boat
to keep up with thsLl.
We'll, on tn occasion referred to, the
Rev. DR.. Pullman's boat was leading,
and we were followir 6 along her lee in
regular double banked yawl, having all
we knew to keep near her in the short
choppy seas. Suddenly some one called
out: Look at that big fishr' Sure
enough the head of an enormous shark
appeared out of the water astern of the
little croft. The shark actually snap
ped at the boat four times in the spite
of all our shouting and splashing with
oars to fright.n him away. Every time
he just missed her stern by about six in
c1es, as the fish did not make sufficient
tine for the speed Of the model. The sup
position was that the boat being painted
white attracted the tiger Of the sea, and
perhaps he thought it was some sort of
bird skipping over the waterI. was told
It was not the first time that the boats
had been followed by shark, but none
had ever attempted to make meal of
one before.
