occupied by Mr. and Mrs. William Z.
Day, was entered by burglars bstween
$50 and $40 O'CLOCK Tuesday after

At about o'clock Mrs. Day left
home to do some shopping. She re-
turned about .. 80 and as she entered
she heard sound as if some one had
gotten out of second-story window
and jumped from the shed roof to the
ground Nothing was disturbed on the
first floor, but upon going to the second
and third floors Mrs. Day found every
thing in confusion. The robbers had
ransacked the Two upper stories. The
contents of closets and bureaus was
scattered on the floor. An investigation
showed that the only things missing
we're 81. % in money and silver watch.
The police we're notified and made an
investigation. There were no marks
on any of the windows or doors to
indicate that they had been forced I;
therefore it is supposed the robbers
entered and left by rear window in
tho second story.

Settled Next Wednesday.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 10. The
third day of the boycott declared by
the Trades A assembly OF this city against
the Schenectady Railway Co. finds the
effort possessing practically no support
All the cars are running as on other
days with their full quota of passengers
The bitterness expressed at the meet
ing of the Trades Assembly last night,
at which the question of calling off the
boycott vas held in allegiance, has in
tensifled the situation. The Metal
Polishsrs Union is in favor of having
the boycott rescinded, while the
Moulders Union is opposed to this
action. Each of these organizations
has threatened to withdraw its dele
gates from the Trades Assembly IL its
wishes are not met, and conserva-
tive labor men today are of the
opinion that general row will follow
the present crisis, to be followed by the
reorganization of the Trades A Assembly.
Neither side would make a statement
today other than to say that the whole
matter was in allegiance and doubtless
would be settled at the regular meeting,
next Wednesday evening.

and after the beast had been driven a
short distance its neck became, SO
swollen that it could hardly breathe.
