BURGLARS ON CLAY AVENUE.
They Visited the Home of Bernard
ID. O'Reillv.

The home of Bernard u. O'Reilly,
634 Clay avenue, was entered by bur-
glars yesterday morning at o'clock
and a considerable amount of jewelry
and other personal property taken.
The burglars effected an entrance by
means OF a window opening into a
small room off the kitchen. They then
went upstairs and into the front room,
where Mr.. O'Reilly was sleeping. They
went through his clothes, which were
hanging on a chair and secured
sold watch, IA silver chain, a foun-
tain pen and few dollars in change.
They also went through the clothes
of Edward O'Reilly, a son, and secured
a wallet containing So in money aud
several very valuable papers.
They were interrupted in their work
by Joseph O'Reilly, another son, who
had been attending a social affair and
who upon entering the house heard
noise in the kitchen. lie thought 1t
was his mother and called to her. She
had heard the noise also and was up
stairs in the hail. she answered back
and by the time satisfactory explana-
tions could be made the house break
ers had made their exist.
The case has been placed in the
hands of Detective Moir. The burglars
were undoubtedly familiar with the
house, as they had to pass through
another bed room in going to the
room where Mr.. O'Reilly slept.

MORE CONTRACTORS SIGN
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Car
penters Are Now at Work.
Master Plumbers and Men
Have a Conference.

1t was given out at the strikers head
quarters yesterday that one member
of the Builders exchange had signed
the agreement. 1t was admitted that
he was only a small stone contractor
employing somewhere in the neighbor-
hood Of a dozen men, but the agree
ment committee appeared to be eX-
ceedingly elated over what they they
termed "a break in the exchange"
Seventeen more small contractors
signed the agreement yesterday, maxi
ing total of thirty-five since Thurs
day morning. The estimated number
of union men at work in the city now
under the new conditions Is one hun
dred and twenty-five The majority Of
these are carpenters, but there are q
few members of each of the following
trades at work Bricklayers, stone
masons and timers. There are no
stone cutters working, because Mr..
Carlucci nor any of the other stone
contractors employing stone cutters
have not yet signed the agreement
The stone masons held a meeting
yesterday morning and received twen-
ty-five new members in their union.
They now claim that every stone ma
son in the city is organized.
None of the journeymen plumbers
have returned to Wort; rs yet. for the
reason that none of tn, master plumb
ers who have been affiliated with the
Builders exchange have as yet signed
the agreement.
The Wood Workers desire to state
that the five coffin makers now at work
at John Benore's establishment are not
"bolters," as has been stated by some
but are exempted by the organization
from participating in sympathy strikes
The members of the Builders ex-
change are still viewing the situation
in their usual calm way. They say
that their work is progressing nicely
and that they feel no alarm in regard
to the strikers attempt to force them
out of business.
The plumbers had a conference last
night with the master plumbers and
expressed their Willingness to work fol
any of their employers who subscribe
to the union scale of wages. They viii
refuse to work on jobs on which non.
union men are employed. The Plumb.
ers' union will meet this morning, and
it is possible they may decide to ash
for an eight-hour d5v.

THE SOUTH SIDE SEWER,
Bright Prospect for the Early Com
mencement of Work.

There is a bright prospect for the
commencement of work on the South
Side sewer within a few days. Three
papers must first be deposited with the
city solicitor and then City Engineer
Phillips will direct A. H. Koons & Son,
the contractors. to proceed with the
work.
The papers required are a bond to in
demnify the city against loss of any
kind because of failure to collect as
sessments; a waiver by the property
owners permitting liens to be filed, al
though the six months allowed for that
purpose has expired and paper show
ing that the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company is willing to pay it's share of
the sewer assessment. These will
probably be filed today.

WHITE OAK BREAKER

The White oak breaker at Archibald,
which was owned and operated by the
Delaware and Hudson company, was
entirely destroyed by fire last night. --
1t is supposed that a spark from
locomotive on the Delaware and Hud-
son railroad, which runs close to the
breaker was the cause of the fire.
Flames were first discovered in tho
new annex to the breaker about S.45
o'clock and spread with lightning-like
rapidity. In few minutes it was ap.
parent that the building was doomed
to destruction.
The Archibald fire companies were
quickly on the scene and did magniti-
cent work in saving adjoining property.
The breaker and boiler house were en-
tirely destroyed, but the weigh office,
powder house and the shops about the
breaker were saved. There were dwell
ings within fifty feet of the breaker
and these. too, were saved from injury
through the efforts of the tlre-fightinS
force,

BUILT YEARS AGO.

The original White oak breaker was
built forty years ago, but has been
overhauled several times and within
year was enlarged and remodelled and
made one of the best breakers in the
valley. 1t was valued at not less than
100000.
The breaker occupied a position on
the east side of Archibald, not far from
the Delaware and Hudson station, and
furnished employment to over 500 men
and boys.
1t was shut down for upwards of a
week for repairs and had only resumed
operations yesterday morning.
Delaware and Hudson officials could
not say last night whether or not the
breaker will be rebuilt. The coal that
supplied the breaker was taken from
q drift in the hillside nearby.
At Archibald the impression prevails
that the breaker will not be rebuilt on
the old site but will be, located some
where in the borough.

In the early career of the fire it was

ance was asked from the fire compan-

responded.
The borough building, st. Thomas

buildings of the borough were within a

was destroyed but all escaped without
injury.
