SAFE BLOWERS SUCCESSFUL.
Postofice ut College Park Robbed of
Money md Sfnmps

Safe blowers visited the postoffice at
College Park, Prince George County, Md.
at an early hour yesterday morning and
after blowing the safe door from its
hinges escaped with about $3.50 in cash
and nearly $500 worth of stamps and pos
tai supplies Postoffice Inspector Wilson
and Detective Father Of the local force
went to the scene and ciews We're discov-
cred which il is thought will lead to the
arrest of the perpetrators of the deed
The postoffice Is located in the grocery
store of George II. Calvert and stands
about seventy-five feet from the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Mr..
Calvert and his three sons occupy the up
per portion of the building, but heard
nothing unusual Monday night except the
noise made by the fierce wind which was
blowing. About O'Clock in the morning
Mr.. Calvert was aroused by the barking
Of his dog. but on going to the window
nothing was to be seen and he went back
to bed. In the morning, however. when
he went down TO open the store he found
everything in confusion. The door of the
safe had been blown off and lay on the
opposite side of the room, while tables
and chairs had been thrown around by
the force of the explosion and fifteen
large panes Of glass had been broken in
the windows of the store The footprints
of three men were found leading to one
of the windows, where the glass had been
cut out to gain an entrance. After en-
tering the store the burglars fastened all
Of the doors leading to the other parts of
the house with screweyes and wire. so
that they could not be surprised at their
work. A brace and bit were found on the
floor near the safe, as was also a two
inch chisel and a monkey wrench. The
brace and bit had been used to drill two
three-eightks of an inch holes in the top
of the safe, about six inches apart. These
We're filled with powder and exploded with
such force that the contents of the safe
was considerably damaged. Several
burned and pOwdermarked bills were left
in the safe and it is believed that the
money which was taken will most prob
ably bear some marks OF powder that
may assist in the apprehension of the
culprits. mail bag in which the booty
was carried away was found several hun
dred yards up the road in the direction
of the Washington and Berwyn Electric
Railroad tracks. 1t is thought likely
that the men may have come in the di
rection Of this city and the local police
are keeping close lookout for them.
