BURGLARS IN RIDG EFIELD.
A Shot Fired at Samuel stohr by q Very Mys.
terious Visitor.

RIDeEFIELD, n. j., April 6.-Burglars raided
Ridgefeld last night. At two OF the houses en-
tered, Charles Boardman's and l.. X. Cotton's.
little was taken. A. Z. Ertle was aroused by
breaking glass, a thief having smashed a win
dow which ho was trying to force open. This
noise frightened him Off. Four weeks ago Mr..
Ertle was robbed Of $500 in cash and jcwelry.
Tho Rev. W. NJ. Sherwood. the rector of the
Episcopal church. was aroused at midnight. and
found that the rcctory had been entered. Tho
only thing he missed was his bicycle. This morn
ing the wheel was found under the porte-cochere,
in good condition, but covered with mud. indi-
eating that 1t had been on a long journey.
Samuel Stohr was awakened at 4 o'clock by
the clang of his door gong. When he opened
the door he could see nobody. and asked Who's
there =. He held the door partly open with his
body behind IL. and this may have saved his
life. As he asked the question n man jumped to
the centre OF the piazza, and saying Damn
passed into the hall. Mr.. Stohr hastily closed
the door. while the man who fired tho shot
was heard to run away. There is no explana-
tion of this peculiar conduct of the visitor.
The house OF Jacob v. Banta was robbed last
Sunday night.

poses that tho number of women In this work

DID BUTLER TRT TO ESCAPE?
A story That He Tried To subatitute His
Brother. Who IooLa Like Him.

SAN Francisco. April 6.-The CnH prints q
story Of an alleged attempt by the Australian
murderer Butler TO escape from the city prison
shortly after his arrival here. through a clever
substitution. On Friday night, March %, a man
giving his name as Reardon was picked up very
drunk and taken to the prison. His resemblance
10 Butler was much commented on. and pictures
illustrating the supposed accidental likeness
were published.
II now appears that the man is the murdcrer's
brother, and his coming to San Francisco was in
response TO a request from Butler, who wrote
him outlining a sRlfully laid plan whereby the
murderer hoped to make hIs escape.
Rcardon, as he called himself. was released
and disappeared. On Saturday he was seen at
the dock by q gentleman, who. recognizing him,
determined 10 learn more about the remarkable
double. The man said Butler wrote him TO
come TO town. have his hair cut, and get him.
self locked UP for druukenncss. Butler ex-
planned that he was allowed to leave his cell
every morning to wash. and Mt the same time
the DRINKS" wore turned out into tho CORR.
doris while their cells were being cleaned. The
Sonona county man was to slip into Buffers
cell while the murderer awaited his discharge
ms n common drunk
Rcarhon carried out his part of the plan, but
the letter had been delayed, and when he nwoke
in the city prison 1t was only to find that Butter
had been transferred TO the county jail for
greater safety.

Col Henry Walker Whiskers-
Boston. Mass. April 6.-After a meeting at
Faneuil Hall last evening the members Of the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company who
were convivially inclined adjourned TO their
usual place. the Parker House bar. The old
feud between Col. Henry Walker. the COM
mander. and Col. Sidney NJ. Hedges. the OK
commander, and their respective adhcrcnts
came up. Earnest discussion was followed by
hot hot argument by harsh words.
and then the doughty Ancients before the bar
were astonished TO see fat Sid Hedges seize
Henry Walker. Some say that Waller was
seized by the throat. Others say that Hedges
grabbed his whiskers.
Prompt interference prevented a fight. but so
lively was the quarrel that the bar WAS closed.
The FaneIil Hall meeting was called to take
action on the proposed trip to the Grant monu-
ment celebration in New York. Col. Walker
and some OF his friends went into the Parker
House to get something TO eat. Col. Hedges
and his friends followed. They met at the bar.
One spectator says that Col. Walker called
Hedges q liar. Hedges grabbed Walker. There
was o tussel and the man at the cigar counter
put out the lights: The doors were locked and
porters ordered TO let no one into the barroom.
Then the room was emptied.
