Burglars entered the jewelry store of
Frisch Brothers. in the Sullivan block, on
First avenue Sunday morning, and stole
Jewelry estimated by the proprietors to
be worth 5000 and possibly much more.
Though the burglary was committed
early Sunday morning and Erik frisch
was In the store during the greater por-
ton of the day. he did not discover the
loss until yesterday morning. when en-
ployes of the place missed a tray con-
tanning a number of watches. The dis
covery of this loss led to a further in
vestigation, which revealed that Jeweiry
of all descriptions was missing. No at
tempt had been made to open the stock
safe, which stood in plain view in the
rear of the storeroom.
Shortly before 4 o'clock Sunday morn
Ing a pedestrian, whose name the police
withhold. saw the door of the store stand
ing slightly ajar. He claims, 1t is said.
to have reported the matter to the patrol
man on First avenue VINO is said to have
failed to investigate for tho reason that
the hour at which I've was going off
had arrived
Mr.. Frisch arrived at the store at 10
O'Clock Sunday morning accompanied by
a friend. and found the front door I'M
locked. Mr. Frisch at the time paid
little attention to the incident,
thinking that possibly he had neglected
Gus, though he says he distinctly remem-
beers having tried the door leaving the
store for the night.
Yesterday morning a matchmaker In
the place noticed that a tray OF second
hand watches hanging near work
bench was missing from its accustomed
place and reported the fact TO his en-
ployer. Meantime other clerks in the
store missed articles from the several
show cases containing inexpensive goods
which are never placed in the store safe
at night
Though no inventory has yet been
taken of the stock Mr.. Frisch stated
last night that from a cursory examina-
tion of the stock he was convinced that
goods valued at between 900 and S,o00
had been removed.
In addition to the watches, two dozen
in number, two gold mounted umbrellas,
two cases of god rings valued at 500,
four pairs of mounted opera glasses, a
quantity of nugget jewelry. several gold
headed walking sticks and number OF
gold watch chains are known to be
missing from the racks and cases in
which they We're displayed. Mr.. Frisch
carries burglary insurance in the sum
of 81 900 ON case goods and 81 0J0 on the
contents Of his safe.
Detectives Phillips and Wappenstein
We're assigned TO investigate the burg
larry and succeeded In ascertaining that
three suspicious-looking characters We're
lettering about the entrance of the store
early Sunday morning, the door at that
time being njar The detectives refuse
to give the name of the man who saw
the three burglars.
George Hart and Frank A. Macy were
arrested late last night by the detectives
on suspicion OF having been implicated in
the burglary Both men have been under
police surveillance for some time Each

The Oil Mill.

In another column will be found a no
tice, showing that commission has been
issued for the oil mill, and that books OF
subscription will be opened at W. NJ.
Brabham's store. This is published in
accordance with law. The capital stock
of $15, 1000 has already been raised, and it
is possible that the company will be cap
italized at $4,000 or $4,000 in order to
erect larger plant than was at first con-
templated.
The board of corporators held meet
ing Tuesday afternoon, and representa-
tive of the D. A. Tompkins Co. conferred
with them in reference to machinery. The
matter of equipment was thoroughly
gone over, and in order that all the infor-
nation possible might be obtained, ". NJ
Brabham and j., L. 'Eddleman were ap'
pointed to visit few oil mills and inspect
their workings, with view of obtaining
all the data available.
Several sites have been inspected, but
no definite location has yet been fixed
for the plant.
The details are being arranged as rap
idly as possible, and work will be COM
menced on the buildings at an early date
in order that the mill may be ready to run
by fall.
