Burglars entered the ticket Office of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company at late
hour on Friday night. A wire screen
was removed from the window of the
gentlemen's waiting room, after which the
catch over the window was removed,
when the burglars entered and at ono e
forced the door of the ticket office open
and proceeded to wax the door of the safe
in the office to blow it open, but before
they could accomplish this they evidently
were frightened eway. It is supposed
there were three men in the party, two of
whom worked on the job at the office
while third engaged in conversation
with the night telegraph operator in close
proximity to the station. The work of
entering the station was done with large
chisel which was left behind. They
secured a revolver and razor belonging
to Ticket Agent Joseph Fitzpatrick.
There was small amount of money in
the safe. There is no clue to the burglars
