sylyania avenue, as burglars had invaded
the house.
Several policemen ran to the place and
found the boaTderS in a great state of ex-
element, some of the men being armed
The policemen were shown to the third
story of the structure, where the bathroom
door was found to be locked from the in
side. After demanding admittance sew
eral times and receiving no reply, the door
was forced open and the policemen, pistols
in hand peered cautiously into the dark
room, but found it empty The window
of the room, which is tightly closed, is
over forty feet from the ground, and no
person could have jumped out and escaped
death. There were TO water or drain pipes
near the window, and the key was Oh the

be impossible for the bolt to slip forward
by any amount of jarring The occupants
of the house believed burglar had taken

his guests are much mystified over the
rather remarkable occurrence, which they

A few cases OF smallpox throw the city
