A GREAT DIA MoND RoBBERY.

a GkEAI DiAMOND hobbf,kf.
The robbery OF one OF tho swell mar
sions in New York Friday night will go
on the records as one of the great robberies
OF the world. Diamonds ana other jewels
and jewelry to the amount of more than
s65, 900 were taken and tho operation
was more notable in many OF its features
than anything we recall in the history or
fiction Of crime.
The BURDEN house is in the heart OF
the fine metropolitan residence district.
Next door is the Hotel Brunswick, win
dows OF which look into the the windows
Of the rooms where the treasure was. In
front OF the house is a cab stand. Mr..
c. OLIVER IsELrH's residence is next
doos but one on the other side OF the
BURDEN house. Cabmen and policemen
were about and thousands OF persons
were within hail. The time was early
evening, about 10 O'Clock. At least four
persons were awake IN the house at the
time of the robbery, and six OF the nine
servants were out and likely 20 return a.
any moment. The thieves locked them
selves in the room and worked at their
leisure. From one OF the finest collections
Of jewels in the country they cleaned out
everything except a smaller fortune in
diamonds which the mistress OF
the mansion had OIL her person at the
opera that night. The thieves left some
of the settings ana the cases, removing the
jewels with professional cleve-ness.
There was in the collection one necklace
OF diamonds OF the value OF $50, 600 and a
tiara worth $1,000.
The robbery was evidently the work o.
experts, and their means Of getting into
tie house is trailed by the detectives.
But there is no clue to the fellows who
did the stupendous job.

most widely prevails. Ii will lie clear,
therefore, that this movement for higher
prices by the hackmen Will .affect mora
generally q class OF people who are least
able to pay the increase demanded aud
decided upon. Possibly the action OF the
hackmen in putting up the rate may re-
suit in falling off OF patronage from this
class of citizens. IL Ii does they will
doubtless md some other and quite as
effective a method of testifyingstbeir sor-
row at the loss OF relative or friend
and at the same time be saved from the
exactions OF the carriage owners. In such
an event we would sec marked shorten
ing of the funeral corteges that pass
through the city's principal thorough
fares.
The other day a man who had been ab-
sent from the city for some time and re-
turned for the purpose OF paying Christ
mas visit to friend was arrested at the
instance of that friend for an old debt.
This wasn't exactly in keeping with the
Christmastide spirit, but then II was
business, and with some people business
is vastly more important than sentiment,
religious or otherwise. But the arrest
recalls another case. Ii occurred great
many years ago, and the victim was the
hero OF the daring capture OF the British
General Prescott Colonel Barton. Some
time after the Revolutionary war was
ended, Colonel Barton went to Yer
mont where there was debt
against him. He was arrested, cast
into Jail and kept there for years until
Lafayette on a visit to this country learned
OF Barton's predicament and took sue
cessiul measures to SECURE the liberation
OF his former comrade in arms. just
think of it! A patriot and a hero allowed
to Iangnish for years in jail for paltry
debt. Does this not go TO prove the truth
OF the saying that republics are ungrate-
full?
