 A daring attempt at robbery was made at the residence of J. II. Whit temOre on North Church street late last night or early this morning. The rob- bers entered through one of the back windows and rnnsacked the house from top to bottom. entering every room except two closets which they tried to force open but were unable to do SO The drawers of the bureaus in the different rooms were all pulled out of their places and their contents strewn all over the floor. 1t is thought that the burglary was committed by amateurs as their work was of q bung- ling order. So far as could be learned this morning nothing was missed Officer Malone was called this morn- AAAE &BQAN O VI [AQ(h anu AAE A-Ae-AN - thorough search of the house for the identity of the thieves but was unable to find a tangible clew. When mem bers of the family were interviewed this morning they stated that they were unable to tell as yet whether anything of value had been taken or not. but it is thought that the robbers were rewarded for their trouble by some clothes.
 The second fatality of the bathing season occurred at the pond of the Salem Ice company on May street last night when Jacob Weber. 10 years old. son of Mir and Mrs Charles Weber or said street. met his death by drown ing. The young man was on a raft about twenty-five feet from shore when a young boy named TeniI offer ed to take him out to swim on his back the boy assented and Ienil swan toward the raft when. as the raft went down on one side from his weight the boy became frightened and jumped for Tenil's back but missed it and instead caught him by the neck with DoIh hands. Tenil attempted to shape mn off so as he would be able to save mIn' hut the younGster refused to be snak- on and carried Tenil to the Dottom' where. in some manner. he says, ne don't know how. Weber became dls- engaged and the boy struck out TOT shore and he had to be lifted up the enbankment as he was entirely eA- hausted. When he was carried up the ..r,banI-ment Tenil said: Where IS Iokegv and no one answered. so ne told the other boys in swimming tnaI he must have drowned and some ol them went and told his father, whlie others came down town and spread the report. In short while crowd hau gathered and a diligent search was commenced for the body. A number or men on rafts and carrying rakes, went all around the spot where the Dody was supposed to be and the search was goiug on from about 6:30 until almost 10 o'clock when John Lynch of Car roll street dove down and recovered the body. The parents of the boy have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.
