GOT AWAY WITH $500.

The Offices of tho John Hancock I'm. surance Company BursIartzed - A Former Collector the Supposed CuI-
 prtt-Both tho Collector and $500
 Missing.
 Sometime during the afternoon or even- ing of Thanksgiving day burglar or burg lars effected an entrance into the offices of the John Hancock Life Insurance company at S1 Church street and abstracted from the money drawer $500 belonging to the company.
 The offices of the company are located on the third floor of the building and con- sist of suite of apartments, the front room being occupied as the general busi- ness office, while immediately behind this is located the private office of the local superintendent, s. w. Hart. In order to admit the light into the latter room from the stairway series of transoms have been built along the top of the partition overlooking the stairway.
 Entrance was effected into the rooms by breaking off the catch on one of these windows and letting himself down into the office. After gaining entrance into the offices the burglar broke open the desk and abstracted therefrom nearly $500 in cash, the receipts of the day before. After securing the money the theft, after care fully laying the catch on the sash of the window, went out by means of the front door, closing it after him and fastening it by means of the snap lock contained thereon.
 Yesterday morning the robbery was dis covered and the matter reported at once to the police. but up to late hour last even ing no one had been apprehended.
 Suspicion in the case points strongly to the fact that one of the collectors of the company is the culprit. The collector in question has been in the employ of the To- cal agency for the past two and one-half months. Yesterday he failed to report at the office, and it was subsequently, learned that he had left the city very suddenly Thursday evening" He is known to have stated to one of his companions that he was suddenly called out of the city and would not return. At the same time he gave his companion laundry check and told him he could get it and keep it, and also that if he would go down to his room he would find there alot of clothing, which he could also keep.
 The suspected mans name, or at least the name under which he was known in this city, is Edward Manning, and he has been residing at 557 State street. He has undoubtedly left for parts unknown. He claimed to have come from Nova Scotia.

AMERICAN TIN.
Successful Competition With the En-

Successful Competition With the En-
 fish Material.
 American tin is now being manufactured at low enough cost for it to successfully compete with the foreign article. MT. E.. Knight Sperry has put new roof on one of his houses in Winchester avenue, near the corner of Division street, the first roof of American tin that has been put on in New Haven. The roof, incluing the work of putting it on. only cost $150, the price charged for English tin. Although the American article is cheaper, the tin is rougher than the British goods. With sufficient encouragement, however, we may expect that America might compete witt free trade England in the production ot this article.
