Body of One of the Two Men Asphyxiated
 in Broadway Garden Hotel Identified.
 New York, Oct 3.-The body of Rob ert Monroe" one of the two young men found dead from gas asphyxiation In room at the Broadway Garden hotel here, was to-day identified as that of Ernest Hayden of Springfield, Mass. The latter's father Is said to be con- nected with an arms company at Springfield. The remains were recog- niged by Martin Glynn, plasterer, with whom Hayden, alias Monroe" had boarded until three weeks ago.
 Glynn says that young Hayden was stage-struck, and that he had taken lessons in dancing from J. F. Dean. a dancing master here. Hayden told Glynn that when his term of tuition was up he intended to organize con- pany, return to Springfield and startle the natives with his accomplishments. This explains a letter found on Hay den and his companion. At the time Hayden left Glynns house lie had a lot of music and a roll of money, and
 
 was expectant concerning his debut in Springfield, and talked about this fact unceasingly. Saturday following Glynn received this letter from Hayden:
 Dear Martin--Will you send the sheet music by that fellow? I asked Dean if he could not learn it to me in quicker time and he said that he would, and will be all through with my work Saturday next. Have you thirty-five cents to loan me to send a telegram to Springfield to that fellow? If so, send it by that fellow. Yours truly,
 ERNEST HAYDEN"
 Glynn has turned a tintype of Hay den and the letter over to the police, and they will communicate with the Springfield authorities.

TFO BURGLARIES YESTERDAT.
Saloons Entered and Small sums of Money
 Taken.

The saloon on State street known as the Office" and conducted by Gustave
 A. Ascherfeld, was entered by burglars some time between 1 o'clock yesterday
 afternoon and 9:30 last evening. The
 cash register was broken into and about SIPS 4n small change was taken.
 The register was left locked Saturday
 night and the burglar in opening it
 broke it so badly that the damage is
 about $10 Entrance to the saloon was
 gained through the rear The rear
 door is partly of glass and one pane
 was broken out by the burglar, who then reached through and unbarred the
 door and unlocked a paddock in which the key had been left. It could not be found that anything be- sides the change from the register had been taken.
 One of the bartenders was in the place about o'clock yesterday after noon and when he left everything was all right. Shortly after o'clock when a bartender entered the saloon to turn on the night lamp the burglary was dis covered
 Some time between 12:3O and 10 o'clock Sunday morning the saloon of
 Thomas F. Fitzsimmons at 165 Crown
 street was entered by burglars and be- tween s4 and $o in change was taken from the cash register. Entrance was gained over the transom. MT. Fitz- simmons left his cash register open Saturday night, as is generally the
 custom since the small amount of
 change that is usually left in the regis ters over night would not be so great a
 loss as would the damage to the regis ters if the burglars broke them open.
 There is evidence that the number of
 small burglaries recently committed
 have been done by the same person or
 persons. In every instance only money
 has been taken and no goods from the places entered. Detectives have been on the lookout for the guilty parties for some time.
