BURGLARS.
Utilized n Trolley Wire In an Attempt to
Rob o Bank.

The burglars who broke into the bank at
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, deserved better sue
cess thar they had for their enterprise and
ingenuity. An electric railway runs
through the town, and to the trolley wire
the robbers attached a wire which ran into
the bank building, and to the end of each
wire attached a piece Of carbon. This made
an ordinary arc light, which they held to
the knob on the safe door, with the idea Of
melting it of aud thus gaining access tc
tho combination. The experiment worked
all right and the knob had been nearly
melted away when the current was shut off
at the power house shortly after midnight.
The burglars then gave up the task. The
job was planned scientifically, The thieves
had even gone to the trouble of placing a
little pile of sane under the knob for the
molten metal to fall on, and thus avoid
setting fire to the floor.

What PugiIists Are Doing.

James Kilrain, who once fought Corbett a
six-round bout but never did anything more
than box friendly set-to with Bob Fitzsim-
mons, is tipping the Australian TO whip the
American in short order. According to Kill
rain, the lanky blacksmith has a way Of
launching up his shoulders so that they
form a sort of bony barricade for his chin
and jaw. Jake believes it will be impossible
to Corbett to get his right on the Antipodean' s
pimple-like head and does not believe his
left Is good enough to do much damage.
Joe Goddard has authorized Madden to
make match for him with Peter Maher,
either in this country or England, or with the

yesterday that he was thoroughly salts

Carson, and that Corbett and FitzSim-

in Nevada would be selected for the
fight.
