BURGLARS WORK IN NORWICH. | Norwich, Sept, 14,-Burglars last night entered the office of II. $, & A. J, Dawley lumber dealers of this city who have an office and yards located on what is known as New Rock. The | thieves are believed to have been pro- | fessionals as their work was cleverly and quietly done and nothing but the safe was molested
 The robbers drilled two holes in the safe, one in the top and the other in the 1 side, behind the lock. These were charged with dynamite and the explo- sion completely demolished the safe, while the interior of the office appears to-day as though a heavy bomb had been exploded there.
 Two windows on apostles sides of the room, were blown from their castings, the ceiling is punctured and broken, chairs were torn and twisted out of shape, and the desks were badly bat tered by flying debris. The safe was blown into several fragments, and pieces of steel hurled across the room with great force. The safe contained only $20 in money and this is missing. The firms books, which were placed in l the strong box, were blackened and burned, and some of them were serious | ly damaged. The iron box which is used for valuable papers was missing, but was found about noon in an empty | freight car about a mile down the rail road tracks. A superfluous examina- ton showed the private papers to be intact.
 There is no clue to the thieves. The detectives are working on the case I this afternoon. The night watchmau on board the City of Boston, which was moored to her dock near by, reports night.
