BURGLARS AT WORK.
They Made Two Attempts Tuesday Night
on Union Wharf.

Burglars during Tuesday night en-
tered the office of D. L. Fsrnald's pack
ing house, end of Union wharf, and also
the office of F. A. Waldron & Son, to 7
| Union wharf.
At f. A. Waldron & Sons Office the
safe was attacked with a Portland &
Rochester Stacking pin. This pin is
locked with key and shutter is drawn
across the key hole when business is ov-
Ell. The shutter was broken with the
shackling pin and an attempt made to
pry the door with poker. Failing in
this the operator attempted tol effect an
entrance through the side of the safe
which is much battered and through the
top which is badly scratched. Nothing
was secured here by the burglars.
AID. L. Fernald &c Co.'s the Bregister
and handle of the empty safe were brok-
en- off and holes drilled around the SOCK
ct of the register. The front OF the safe
bears many marks of cold chisel and
one corner of the door shows wear from
the persistent efforts made to pry the
door by ''springing the lock-" Giving
up the attempt to force the safe and open
its doors by clubbing it, the burglars
ransacked the drawers, and broke open
a sailors trunk, the contents .of which
were scattered about the room. "A num-
Der of ships letters were opened, a pair
of S. opera glasses, so cents worth of
postage stamps, two old badly soiled
coats and a much worn pair of overalls
were secured here.
A Ratchet, a bit-stock and several
drills were left by the visitors, all of
which save one drill were taken to the
police station by the officers.
The drill left by the burglars and the
officers is Morse drill. The fact that
dirty, worn out clothing was taken and
that such poor work was done indicates
that the jobs were the work of amateurs.
