DARING BURGLARY IN BOSTON. How a Masked Man Entered House | and Secured Several Valuable Artt-
 cles-AYoung Man Kept Quiet al l Point or n Revolver.
 l BosToN, Sept 1.-Early this morning a
 masked burglar entered the house of James
 A. Houston, of the firm of R. H. White 6 Co.,, at the corner of Maple and Schuyler streets, Roxbury. William Houston, a son, was awakened by the barking of a dog and found the burglar standing in his room with revolver pointed at him. Threatening to shoot if young Houston
 made an outcry, the burglar rihed Hous- tons clothes of gold and silver watch. Without hesitation he then entered an ad-
 joining room where another son, Ernest,
 was in bed, awake, although pretending to sleep. Here gold watch and about $50 in money were taken, the robber running other valuables. The door to Mir and
 Mrs. Houstons room was tried, but fortu- nately, was locked up. Baff1ed at this point the burglar started down stairs, making but little noise, as he had rub bers on his feet The young men, supposing he had gone, sprang from their beds at the same moment, slammed the doors of their rooms and gave the alarm, when the man rushed from the house and escaped. An investigation showed that the burglary had been well planned, prob ably by somebody familiar with the prem ises. The family had been away, arriving home only last night. An attempt was made to cut the wire by which communi- cation may be had with the stable, but in the darkness the telephone was cut in- stead. A small square of plate glass in 8 front window was broken out, the top sash pulled down and an entrance effected by climbing over it. Once within doors the burglar lighted the gas in the front hall and explored the dining room, where he collected such solid silverware as he could find. He also opened the trunks that were left in the hall by the hackmen last night, though is appears that nothing was taken

The BIoomfieid Double Murder.

HARTFORD, Sept. 1.-There are three prisoners in the Hartford jail arrested or suspicion of being guilty of the murder oi MT. and Mrs. Bushenhaaen of Bloomfield. They are Patrick McDonald, John Parker and Louis Lauer. To Lauer the evidence so sar as it has yet been obtained points most strongly as the guilty man. Lsuer was discharged from the Hartford jail on Thursday last, after finishing sentence of ninety days for theft.
 HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. IA search about the Bloomfield woods to- day brought to light no further traces of the missing clothes of the man Louis Lauer, suspected of the murder of MT. and Mrs. Bushen- hagen. It was found, however, at the brick yard that he had washed his shirt and overalls in the brook soon after the murder had been committed. On the shirt some spots have been found that may have been made by blood. Further false and contradictory stories have arisen. Lauer, himself, is very Respondent. The authorities think the circumstancial evi- dence against him strong. No other ar rests have been made The bodies of the murdered couple were buried to-day in the Bloomfield cemetery.

 Bushels.
 DULUTH, Minn., September 1.-Wheat in store here now is only 253,000 bushels, but the new wheat has begun to pour in at the rate of fifty to seventy-fve cars a day and advices from the country show that shipments by farmers from now on will be large. Talks with farmers who are here indicate that few of the Dakota farmers will try to hold their wheat but that nearly all will put it on the market at once. A few, Of the larger far mers will sell part and hold what they can in elevators. The Dakota elevators will not store wheat for farmers on account of the new Dakota law, and they will thus be compelled to sell.
 A. J. Sawyer, the head of the North Dakota Elevator company and the Duluth Elevator company, says that his company would handle about 16, ,000, 900 bushels here and that he estimated the total receipts of Duluth for the crop year at 50,000, 900 bushels

 the Express uessenger-A sherif', Posse With Bloodhounds in Fur suit.
 CANON CrTY, Col, Sept. 1.-Seven mer
 held up the east bound Rio Grande trair
 No. 4 from Ogden last night near Cotopad
 The highwaymen compelled the fiagmen al
 Texas Creek to give up the torpedoes ir
 his possession and forced him to flag the
 train. AS soon as it stopped the enginee,
 and fireman were held at the muzzles of
 rifles. A gold watch was taken from Auer,
 the fireman, and he was then forced to
 pick the lock and break in the doors of
 the baggage car under fire from the ex- press messenger, who knew that some thing was wrong as soon as the train was stopped. The mail car doors were also all broken open, but nothing was taken from it.
 The express messenger, Angel, made 8 determined resistance, and used a revolver to good advantage, but whether anyone was killed or not is not definitely known, as he was compelled to shoot through the glass of the door. The fight was fierce one, though it lasted only few moments. Then one of the masked men placed the muzzle of @ revolver against Angels temple, and forced by threats against his life, the messenger opened the safe door. The highwaymen took s3,600 from the safe. :t8- s5 EsE 2. z 8 Horseswere in readiness, and as soon as the robbery was accomplished, they lied to Wet Mountain valley. They did not dis turb the passengers, evidently not wishing to stay longer on the ground.
 A posse was summoned by the sheriff and left for the scene at once. The sheriff got together all the men he could summon on such short notice. They are all men who have seen service, and will make 8 lively chase after the brigands. Word has been telegraphed to Trinidad for the hounds that have been used in running lown several criminals. They are to be hurried to the scene on special train and put on the trail as soon as possible. It is not thought likely that the robbers can es- ape.
 DENVER, September 1.-The news of he Denver and Rio Grande robbery was received at the Union station after mid night last night. The first dispatch stated hat No. had been held up by seven masked robbers between Cotopaxi and aeas Creek, and that all the money in he messengers safe had been taken from Jim as well as the freman's watch.

TROUBLE IN CENTRAL AMERICA

A Feeling of Unrest In Several o1
 the Republics - Signs of RevoIu-
 ton.
 C1TY OF MEXICO, September 1.-Letters from Guatemala state the election excite ment is very intense and it is feared that no election can take place. In such case President Barrillas will hold over and he may try to declare himself dictator, which will not only cause complications in Guatemala, but in all Central America. In Nicaragua there are fears that the canal will not be built, as it is known, or believed, that the company has not the funds necessary to carry on the project.
 In Honduras the feeling against Presi- dent Bogran is daily gaining ground and efforts are being made to oust his par tisans from government offices. If this cannot be accomplished by electoral power, it is said, it will be done by force after the elections are held.
