EXCITEMENT AT THE PoSTOfFICE.-
About 800 o'clock this morning the
neighborhood of the postoflice was
alarmed by the sound of police whistle
and officers Griffin and Howson re-
sponded. The whistle had been blown
from the west window Of the postoiice
by Mr.. John browns, the night watch
man, and when the officers reached the
ward they found the Waterman con-
siderable excited over what he alleged
10 have been an attempt 10 burglarze
she building. He stated that he was
on the first floor at the time and heard
the burglars at work at the iron door
to The cellar on the west side; that he
went 10 the window directly over their
heads, when they assembled the steps
from the basement, ran TO the south
wall and escaped through the alley.
The officers and the Waterman then
proceeded TO make an examination OF
the premises. There were no marks on
the iron doors, but on the bricks near
by a cold chisel about foot long such
as plasterers use in cutting stovepipe
holes was found. The Waterman
made further search around the bnild-
ing and upon his return TO the cellar
door stumbled over a small wrench
such, probably, as bicyclists use on their
wheels and which had been overlooked
in the first search. The chisel does not
bear marks of recent use, the handle
being rough, especially on the end
where the mallet would strike it. The
north and east gates of the yard were
open at the time, and why the alleged
burglars should have taken the trouble
40 scale the wall when they could haye
made an easier exit can be explained
only by themselves and why the watch
man didn't shoot at them is another
query not satisfactorily answered, as
he was directly over them when the
noise he says they made attracted his
attention. The burglars had to ascend
the steps TO the north and then turn
and pass within hali-adozen yards of
the Waterman in order 10 reach the
wall. Two or three weeks ago It was
said an attempt was made 10 rob the
postolice, but it was suggested that t c
noise made on that occasion was pro
duced by a man who had deposited Il
heavy bag of mail from Il newspaper
office at the back door during the we
sma' hours.
