P. Moore's Residence Entered. SAMUEL COWLEY'S HOUSE ROBBED Early yesterday morning Officer An thony Murphy discovered two men try ing to effect an entrance to the store of W.

B. Bancroft, 1900 Eighth avenue. The men were working on the front door when the officer appeared, and on seeing him they broke away and ran toward the tracks on Ninth avenue. The officer followed, but, seeing he was coming distanced in the chase, fired a shot after the fugitives. They, however kept on and disappeared near the power house'on Ninteenth street.

Several marauders forced an entrance to the residence of S. B. Council in Ju niata, early yesterday It appears they did not go farther than the kitchen where they devoured a lot of -ovsters and milk from the pantry. The burglars next went to the residence of Mr. Arthur 11mm next aoor, dui ianea to get in there.

During the same night two men forced an entrance to the residence of W. H. Aikens, at Park Place, Juniata. The transom over the front door was forced, and through this aper ture the miscreants crawled. Mrs.

Aiken heard the noise down stairs, and called to ask who was there. The noise fright ened the robbers, who thereupon de camped without securing any booty. The residence of W. P. Moore, 2108 Eighth avenue, was entered by thieves Thursday morning.

When Mr. Moore arose at 2 a. he discovered bis coat and vest were missing from their customary nail. Going out on the rear porch he found them lying in the snow with every tt ing of value removed from the pockets. Closer search showed that the lunch spread out on the table by Mrs.

Moore belore retiring naa Deen devoured, as was almost everything of an edible nature in the cupboard. Nothing else of value was missing. It is thought that the thieves hid in the house before the family retired. The residence of Samuel Cowley, 113 Howard avenue, was entered by a burglar at 1 o'clock yesterday morning through the rear door. He was heard making his way up the stairs and Mr.

Cowley arose and arming himself, started for the bed room door. In the darkness he fell over a chair and frightened the intruder, who fled out of the house and over the rear fence. Mr. Cowley is treas urer of the Walnut Avenue Methodist Episcopal church and this fact probably led the thief to imagine he would make a rich haul. Criminal list, January Sessions, 1896.
