BLEW OPEN A SAFE.
Craoksmen Again Visit the Van
Nest Railroad Station.
Finding No Money They Smashed
Things Generally.
This Was the Third Time Burglars
Had Been There.

Fol the third time in Its brief history
the railroad ticket office at Van Nest
Station. on the New Haven Railroad, was
cracksmen.
mite, and. finding no money In the cash
box. vented their disappointment by
smashing things generally.
Van Nest is u small settlement just
this side of the village OF Westchester.
Morris Park Race Track and the Cath
Ole Protectory are it's chief Institutions.
The railroad freight station is IA large
affair. but the passenger ticket Office liz
small.
Past experience has taught Station
Agent Toole that II Is a risky thing to
nave any .~valuables lying around the
Office at night, and that locking money
or the previous occasions when the bur-
glars visited the station they succeeded
In getting a little money; 80.
When Mr.. Toolc went lone last night
ne took with him what cash there Mas
on hand. He arrived at his office early
this morning. When he found the door
open and the window n smashed he
Inside he found everything in confusion.
Furniture was broken and scattered
about. The ticket-box had been opened
Hii PlIfF OI llChttS were StfeNn around
the floor. All the books had been taken
from the snfe, the door of which mad been
blown off. and had been torn to pieces,
ana bundles of vouchers, safe drawers
aud other paraphernalia OF the office
were in an indiscrlmlnatc mass.
The burglars were undoubtedly an
noyed about, finding any money. and in
revenge had proceeded To wreck the
smashed a pint bottle OF ink against the
wall, the black fluid had run all over the
floor.
The clock in the Office had stopped
al exactly 1890, which Mr.. Toole ascribes
10 the conclusion caused by the blowing
open of the safe.
There are only about twenty houses
In Van Nest besides the Catholic Pro
tectory, and these are all at some dis
lance from the station. No one In the
village had heard the explosion. 1t IL
believed that the burglars live in the
neighborhood.
After wrecking the ticket office the
burglars broke Into the b~LggIge-roUm
and ripped open a valise. the only urIl-
Gle they could ind there. and scattered
the contents over the floor.
The people Of Var Nest are so ac-
custOmed 10 this sort OF thing that the
news Of the burglary created little SUR
prise. II Ia said that the railroad Oti-
Gals Will make an Investigation. but a.
they have done the same thing on sew
eral previous occasions without ever OBJ
taining Ii clue to the perpetrators OF
the crime. the Van Nest people hav"
little faith that they VIII succeed this

Since the railroad tracks were de-
pressed three year, ago the depot was
moved Into q hollow, and the only way

saloon and wsdtng through the mud.
Many complaints have been made to the
company. but the railroad magnates
paid 70 attention to them.
