WOMAN FACES
ARMED THIEF
ON WAKING
Masked HOusebreaker Takes
Her Savings Threatens
Her Daughter, Too.

Awakened by a noise in her room
early yesterday, Mrs. Matilda Babst, of
100 West street, sat up IN bed to see
a burly man, wearing a black mask,
jump from behind a door. Covering
her with a revolver, he demanded that
she tell where her money was secreted.
Mrs. Babst replied that she had only
$12 to her NAME, inc that she had been
a long time in saving. The burglar,
however, was not Of a sympathetic
nature and gruffiy demanded to know
the whereabouts of the money, as he
again 1ourished the revolver in his
victims face.
Tho frightened woman then revealed
the hiding place of her savings and the
thief lost no time In getting it into
his possession. He then left the room,
with a threat to Mrs. Babst that # she
left her bedroom or made a noise he
would kill her.
The burglar then went to the kitchen
in search Of something to eat, and the
noise of a chair he knocked over awak-
ened Mrs. Babst's daughter, Elizabeth,
IS years old. She went to the kitchen,
where she, too, was confronted by the
burglar, who told her to hold her
mouth" He thrust a revolver into her
face as an argument to that end. The
girl was too frightened to make an
cutlery. ,
While she was covering in the room
the burglar picked up a handbag con-
tanning % cents, the property of the
girl, and escaped from the house
through a rear window which he had
forced open.
AS soon as he lar gone both women
recovered from their fright sufficiently
to scream, and their cries attracted

A thorough search of the n-eighborhood

POLICE USED A BOAT
LAMP EXPLODED AND CRAFT
NEARLY UPSET.
But the Detectives Vigilance Was Re-
warded by Capture of Negro Who
Stole Case of Shoes.

While watching for n negro suspected
of having robbed the Merchants Express
Company, in Passaic avenue, Detective
Sergeants Farrell and Cordano and two
companions bad an exciting time in a small
boat in the Passaic River Saturday night.
First an oil lamp exploded and they we're
nearly thrown out into the river. That
they escaped either n ducking or being
burned Is considered fortunate by the
police. Despite their exciting trip on the
foggy river they managed to arrest Isaac
Ross, a negro, 20 years old, of 229 West
Kinney street. who was this morning ar
raigned before Judge Howell in the Third
Criminal Court and ordered to furnish
$500 bonds for the Grand Jury on a charge
of grand larceny.
The arrest of Ross was for stealing two
pairs of shoes. The report was not re-
ported until Saturday morning. Farrell
was sent, to investigate and found that a
case Of shoes had been hidden under the
dock on the river. Further investigation
disclosed the fact that the shoes were De-
ing taken from the case in small quaint
ties.
Farrell and cordano obtained the serv-
ices of two men to row a boat, and they
decided to watch the dock from the river.
They had a small oil lamp on board, While
waiting the appearance Of the thief the
lamp exploded. All four men managed to
escape, but in trying TO put out the flames
the boat was nearly upset.
About 10 O'Clock the watchers saw some
one strike a match on the dock. The
boat was rowed inshore, and Farrell and
Cordano awaited the temperance Of the
man. who was a negro, who had gone mn
der the dock to get some of the shoes. He
came out and had in his possession two
pairs of shoes. He was placed under ar
rest.
When Ross was taken before Judge
Howell he admitted having taken the
shoes. Judge Howell fixed the bail at
$500, whereupon Ross said:
Judge, there we're only five pairs OF
shoes In the case"
Very weIi., replied Judge Howell.
II did it all myself went on the
negro, and there was no one else in the
job"
Unable to obtain bail, Ross was com
mitted TO the county Jail.
This afternoon Samuel Yeitz, 10 years
old. of IS North Canal street. was ar
rested by Detective Sergeants Farrell and
cordano on a charge Of receiving stolen
property. The police claim Ross sold him
the stolen shoes.

$500 IN GOLD TAKEN
FROM BUREAU DRAWER.
Thief Ignores $40 in Bills-Boarder
Suspected-Money Withdrawn
from Rank.

Twenty $40 gold pieces which were in a
bureau drawer In the room of Emil Graus,
of 56 Jacob street. were stolen Saturday
afternoon. The thief, however, apparently
had a little consideration for his victim.
for he allowed $40 in bills which covered
the gold coin to remain.
When Graus reported the theft he gave
the name and description of a fellow
boarder, who was last seen about the
house when the money disappeared.
The loser of the $500 old the police that
he drew the money from a local bank re-
Gently because Of the financial stringe1cy.
There Is no indication that the thief had
any scruples as to whether the motto was
on the coins.
