CHILDREN HELD Up BY BURGLARS.

REVoLVERs At THEIR HEADS WHILE THIEVES
LOOT THE MONEY DRAWER OF A FACTORY.
Red Bank. July 1.-Two children OF +, c. Hazard
the principal proprietor of the big canning factory
at Shrewsbury. while playing on the lawn in front
of their home which is adjoining the factory, last
night were suddenly confronted by a spectacle
worse than anything they had ever conjured up in
their young ina magination out of the nursery books
-Four stalwart, unkempt men, OF the color OF coal,
suddenly appeared on the lawn and, placing the
barrels of revolvers agairst the foreheads OF the
little ones. warned them to keep quiet under penalty
of death. short time before this the children had
seen the negroes enter their fathers factory but
they had paid little attention to the incident, the
coming and going Of people in and OF the factory
at all hours of the day and night is a common
curence.
The children were old enough to appreciate the
significance of revolver pointed at them, and
they did not raise alarm while the robbers en-
tered the factory and looted the money drawer.
The burglars secured only 81. and then made their
escape. If the memory OF the children be de-
pended on their description Of the thieves will
greatly aid the police in their search. The cool
behavior of the children under such trying circum-
stances Is a subject Of general comment.

diticn, are now apparently vanishing Il. but are
in reality painting it with very thin solution OF
certain chemical product the use OF which In such
connection is the invention OF Professor A. H.
Church. +. Il. 5. We believe that one OF the latest
acts of Lord Leighton was recommending the
Office OF Works to apply 10 Professor Church for
advice i'm this matter The eminent chemist has
for years past been experimenting on this mode OF
preserving the patina OF bronze, but has never be-
fore had the opportunity of trying IL on a public
work. 1t Is understood that, when perfectly dry
this delicate coating Will take high and durable
polish, and II so. the question of enabling bronze
to endure the London smuts and dirt will perhaps
be solved.
The examination OF the statue. u masterpiece

a crowd of curious people had lively experience
with a swarm OF bees in Morris-st yesterday. The
bees took possession Of relay box a high pole,
and when the neman happened along he them
and decided 10 drive the insects away.
He placed a piece of mosquito netting over his
head and with long rod in his hand he began
climbing. When the top his courage failed
and he descended to ihe ground. A loId shout of
derison went up from the throats OF the large
crowd, and the evictor again mounted tho pole. He
climbed to within striking distance and gave the
box poke with the rod. Before he could raise tn.
stick a second time majority OF the bees made an
attack upon him. The lineman dropped the rod.
and with A remarkable display of haste reached the
ground He did not stop 10 make any Inquiries. but
began a sprinting mach up the street pursued by
the bees.
He was not alone in his for safety as the
crowd scattered in all directions Dozens OF people
stung. and after the excitement had subsided
the insects returned TO the relay box. where last
accounts they were still strongly entrenched
