library. The desk had been opened, but
the papers it contained were not disturbed,
and in fact nothing was missed from th4
room. Mr. E. S. Martin, who occupied a
room in the third story, awoke during the
night and became impressed with the. idea
that there were thieves in the house. He
struck a light, and it is supposed that the
reflection of the -same was seen by the
thief, who became frightened and departed
before he had completed his operations.
He used a lever of some sort udder, the
lower sash of the window, forcing it up
wards so as to loosen the fastenings which
confined the sash in position. !
The residence of Mr. Marsden Bellamy,
on Market, between Sixth- and Seventh
streets, was visited. The sash from one of
the windows had been removed,' and the
thief entered Mr. Bellamy's room, rifling
his pockets of their contents, which fortu
nately did not amount to much, while the
drawers of a bureau in an adjoining room
were also found to be ransacked. Mr. Bel
lamy, who was aroused by the noise', found
the gas in his room, extinguished, - that the
window sash was removed and standing
against a tree in the yard, and both the
front and back doors open.
A raid was made upon' the residence of
Dr. M. J. DeRosset, corner of Market and
Third streets, entrance to the buildine be
ing .effected by forcing open the backdoor.
The room occupied by his children was
visited, but nothing was missed therefrom.
The Doctor heard the noise and supposed
it was caused by some of the children, but
upon starting to investigate the , matter
he encountered the thief, who proved
to be a colored individual, and who beat a
hasty retreat by the way he had entered, i
