BURGLARS CRACK SAFE.
The Black Diamond Coal Company's
Strong Box Wrecked by Dynamite.

Some time before dawn yesterday
morning cracksmen visited the office of
the Black Diamond Coal company. on
North Belmont street. The small safe
in the office was wrecked by ~ charge of
dynamite and S5.67 In cash secured,
this being all that was in the safe.
The safc-bieakcrs were very evident
ly amateurs at the work, or else their
methods are different from the usual
run of the fraternity, for they did u
most tnworkmanlikc job and gave
themselves much more work than was
seemingly necessary The safe that
was broken into Is but about thirty
inches high and but twenty-one inches
wide. Yet enough dynamite was used
to open 1T to get into Il safe of the most
modern burglar-proof construction.
The burglar used "A sperm candle to
furnish light. They took q stick OF
dynamite with a fuse and cap from the
company, which has r. supply Of such
articles on and First they pried the
safe door far enough open with jrnmies
10 get the dynamite inside. then plas-
tered the keyhoe Of the safe and the
crack which the bars had made in pry-
ing with soap to- keep out the air, and
then touched off their iuse. The con-
cusssion blew the safe door off, cracked
the two sides of the safe and wrecked
the interior The cash compartment
contained s5.61 OH Monday night, which
was missing yesterday morning when
the invasion was discovered. 1t was
pay day at the office yesterday and the
thieves evidently expected that a large
bundle of money would be locked In
the safe over night.
No one heard til explosion and moth
ing was known of the robbery until the
office force came to work yesterday
morning. The police are actively at
work on the trail of the burglars and
it is believed that arrests will soon be
made.

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
Dwelling Occupied by Fred Wright
Destroyed with His Household


At about lis o'clock Yesterday morn
ing fire broke out in The C;ethins house
Oh Farvicw street, occupied by Fred
Wright. Railroaders saw the flames
first and engineers footed long blasts
for SOM" time before an alarm was
turned in. The unearthly screeching
of the steam whistles awGke every one
in town. The frs had gained consider
able heatlway before the alarm was
,ung in from box "a. but the Mitchells
got out with alacrity when the fire
bell did sound. They had to string six
hundred feet of house. The fire burned
iiercely and for Il time endangered All
adjoining house. The Mitchell boys
conquered the flames in quick order,
although the building was nearly
burned out and the contents were
entirely destroyed. Mr.. Wright saved
only an overcoat.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the exploding of a lamp.
Mir. Wright's family is in Honesdalt.
and he was alone in the house, but
so far he has been unable to give any
explanation of the affair. He carried
no insurance, he is in poor circum-
stances and the destruction of his
goods is q heavy blow. The building
WIS partially insured.
1t will be remembered. that about
two months ago Mr. Wrght's step
daughter, Mamie Reese, was struck

railroad V lille on her way home from

serious. George Saflska testified that
Simon had threatened to kill him. that
he had a concealed weapon. and that
the said concealed weapon was taken
from it's concealment and pointed at
him. much to his annoyance. and that
he was in fear Of coming to harm un-
less Simon was restrained in his blood
thirsty moods. Jacob Antos also had a
little to say. He charged Simon with
threatening to shoot him with the
above. mentioned weapon and was
unanimous in supporting safiskas be-
lief that Sisko was very bad man.
The latter, being unable to overcome
the evidence against him and likewise
failing to furnish bail. he was sent
down to the county Jail
