PETERSBURG, January 14.-At a
late hour last Saturday night the

tor of the Second Baptist Church,
on Wytbe street, was broken into
and robbed. The burglar got in
through the kitchen window. After
ransacking every room in the house
with the exception of thut occupied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Fristoe. the bur.
glar made an effort to effect an en-
trance into the latter room, but
when he turned the knob of the
door he awoke Mrs. Fristoe, who In
turn awoke her husband. Mr..
Fristoe called out to know who was
at the door, when the burglar ran
down the stairway pursued by Mr..
trlstoe. The burglar made his es
