BURGLARS AT WORK.

For several weeks past gang oi
thieves have been operating in the
adjoining towns and last Saturday
night several houses in this place
were visited by these nocturnal visi-
tors, and although they did not sue
ceed in carrying away great amount
of property, they did succeed in throw.
ing the town into CONSERVATION. The
operations were commenced Saturday
night and continued all through the
night and only ceased then because
of the dawning Of the day. The
houses entered included those of M.
E. Wagenhurst, w. H. Slate, L. Z.
Waller, c w. Miller, Thos. Vannatta
Mrs. l. S. Kuhn, DR.. M. ]. Hess,
DR.. F. w. Redeker, G. w. Keiter,
Thos. Wayne, Jos. Sharpless,
In every instance the entrance was
effected by forcing open windows on
the first floor, and the entire lower
part Of the house was thoroughly
searched. In no case excepting at
the residence of M. Z. Wagenhurst,
did they go on the second floor. At
this place, after lighting the parlor
lamp they went up stairs and secured
pocketbook but fortunately for the
owners and unfortunate tor them it
was empty. They also ate lot of
oysters that Mrs. Wagenhurst had In.
tended for their Sunday dinner. A. L.
E. Walters, after eating what they
had partly prepared for their breakfast
they left, after securing a pair of
Opera glasses. Their search through
the residence of w. H. Slate failed to
afford them anything they apparently
desired, and the residence of G. w.
Miller disclosed the same state Of
affairs, having been there, but taking
nothing with them. They entered the
residence of DR.. Hess on Fifth Street
in the same manner, but Sam Hess
who had just returned from "some
where heard them, gave t.hl.e alarm
and they left without taking anything.
DR.. Redeker mourns the loss of an
overcoat, and several small articles.
1t was at Mrs. Kuhn's however where
they made the best haul, securing a
silver cake dish, spoons and other
articles of silver ware, which were
however subsequently found in Mr..
Wayne's barn on West Main Street.
1t is supposed that daylight over
took them and they used the first
place they came to in which to store
the stolen goods. At Thomas Van
natta's on Iron Street they stole two
razors. At the residence of Geo. w.
Keiter they secured silver knives,
forks and spoons and were heard by
the hired girl who thinking she had
over slept herself came down stairs
but found no one in the house. The
house of Joseph Sharpless was enter
ed between six and seven o'clock
Sunday morning and two pairs of
spectacles taken. This ended the
marauding. The crime evidently was
not committed by professionals, but
by tramps or sneak thieves. Several
parties who saw whom they allege
was the burglar say, that it was only
one man who did the plundering.
Our readers would do we'll to look to
the fastenings of their windows and
doors.

Board Of Health Decides Upon Strong
 Draught Plan Proposed by s-a Water
 bury Man.
 The state board of health met at the state prison yesterday to decide which of the three plans for the better ventilation of the prison, submitted by three out-of town experts. should be used. It was de- cided to accept the plan of John W. Hill of this city, which besides being an ex- cellent one, entails very small cost.
 The plan creates a strong draught iu th - area over the cells by the introduction of coiled steam pipes in the ventilators and cold air, brought in from the outside through pipes on the floor. over steam coils ten feet above the main floor. The warm air causes the draught which sucks in the fresh air through the ventilating flues In each cell, distributing it irto the area over the cells. The foul air is carried outside by the ventilation at the top of each cell

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.
Is Was the Work ofan Incendiary Al
 Is Being Investigated.

Is Being Investigated.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock last night fire was discovered n the building, No Grand street, occupied as plumbing shop by O. l.. Hicks. Officer Claffey sent in alarm from box four. The department respond ed quickly and few seconds after the alarm had been sent in several streams were being poured in upon the burning material. The fire was in the rear of the Hicks store. and although the department worked diligently to keep it down it forced it's way into the third story in the rear, the flames shooting high in the air, and many thought the city was about to witness an- other disastrous fire, for the rear for sev- eral feet back is nothing but veritable fire trap But the timely warning of the outbreak and. the splendid water service coupled with the skill of the firemen soon brought the flames under control, and the recall was souned at 11:S5.
 The building was purchased recently by was occupied by Charles L Wood. carpen- ter; c. L. Hicks, plumber, and Henry Greenburg occupies as storeroom a long frame structure abut- ting the rear of the burned structure. Mir Hicks estimates his damage at 8. .00. He is insured for S2.000.~ Mir Wood is damaged about $500 and IS insured. The damage to the building is considerable, the greater portion of the interior being chsrred and burned and many of the stairwaTs and partitions rendered use- less. It is fully insured.
 The fire was witnessed by an immense throng of people. many of whom wondered why the occupants of the block on the corner of Grand and South Main streets, were not getting out into the street. Bat the tenants were on the alert and watched the poyements of the people on the out side from open windows, ready to quit the place at moments notice. The hose leaked and squirted water in all directions and the hydrant iu front of Castles meat market treated many A fair pedestrian to a winter bath which did not seem to give good satisfaction.
 Chef Snagg has no hesitation in stating | that the fire was of incendiaFy origin. There was no stove at the point where Il started and nothing else kept there that anyone knows of that could have caused spontaneous combustion. c. F. Downey is of the same opinion and Says the fire l could not have occurred ip any other way. Mir Hicks was in his store after 9 o'clocl and left it all right. Carpenter Wood was not in his shop yesterday and of course has no idea as to the origin or cause of fire.
 A reporter tried to find Mir Hicks to-da! but was not successful. One of his clerk was seen, though. and said that judging from the appearance of the place it woult seem that the fire originated in NJ Woods apartments and burned its wa, down into MT Hicks room. The theor, is reasonable. he said, because tn wood work in the Hicks store is damage, but slightly. while it is burned to a cind, in some places in the rooms overhead.
