ATTEMPT TO ROB AND BURN.
PscuIiar Work of Thief at Capt. hioe's
Residence saturday Morning.

Peculiar Work of Thief at Capt. Kices
Residence saturday Morning.
A thief ATTEMPTED to rob and burn
the residence of u. {. Rice, Jr., No.
3O7 West Twelfth street, about ] o'clock
Saturday morning. Ho succeeded IN only
damaging two porch rocking chairs,
ono OF which had its bottom burned
out, and the other had an arm scorcheo.
whether the attempt to burn was
made before the attempt to rob IS not
known, but it seems probable that the
thief may have started the fire, which
was on the side porch, for the purpose
Of bringing the family out to ex-
tinguish it, and intended to seize the
opportunity to get in and steal during
the excitement. Or he may hare fired
the chairs to be revengeu for ms
failure to gain entrance to the house.
Samuel Taylor, colored, man servant
of the Rice's, who sleeps on the tirst
floor, saw the man IN the side yard,
where he was trying the windows.
Samuel lost no time in notifying Capt.
Rice that a marauder was around.
Tho captain had also heard noise.
He armed himself with shotgun, do
termined to FIX" the miscreant. But
although he searched the yard, he
found no trace of him.
When the family arose Saturday,
three porch chairs close together were
noticed on the porch, and q quantity
of ashes were on the floor. Then Capt.
Rice remembered that he Ind noticed o
reflection on the fence when he was
preparing to sock the burglar, but had
supposed it was from bicycle lamp.
Had the chairs burned there was
danger of igniting the porch and two
story bay window to which the porch
extended. Fortunately, the fire had
burned itself out ... Z
