One of the remalning trlo’ nsked the girl if the water-plpea were all right, and, on being told that they were, requested her to show him where the hydrant was. 8he took him into the kitchem, when le immediately caught hold of hor, and, drawing o pls. tol, held t -to her heal, 'Tho £irl began to scream, and the little boy rushed fn to ascertaln the cause of the trouble. The ~borglar then drew o knife and . told the Ilittle fellow he would relleve him of his head if he did not keep quict, In the meantime one of tho iwo who accompanied Mrs. Scnhr In search of the gus-meter had thrown hor on the floor, and, brandishing o murderous-lovking kuifo, cautioned her with a ryound volley of oaths to keep her mouth shut, The three umoc- eupled rufiians then began o systemnatle scarch through the house, Ert-{y room was visited; bed-clothes an mat- tresscs, . closets and ~ cupbuanis were thoroughly examined, In the dining-room they found o smnll parlor eafe. .

The mild weather of the last two weeks has been a godsend to the Eastern roads, which have had Lo strugglo more or less with snow-block- ades over slnce the beoginning of the winter. Nearly all the accumulations of freight have now gone forwand, and the roads are no longer suffering from tho want of cars.

There has been no adfustment yot of difficul- tles In regard to frelght mtes to the East betwoen the Lake Shoro & Michigan Southern ana the other lines leading to Eastern Pulnu. ‘The former road refuses to budge from e position it has taken and adheres to the old rates, The other ronds have not yet ofllclally aunounced a reduction, but it §8 reported that they ull take frefght at the same rates as thoss charged by the Lako Shore, The Mlichigan Central does not deny that it Is taking Ireizhts at theso rates, but tho Pittshurg, Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Dultfmore & Olo do. There no reasou why thess ronds should not make thefe tarl® the same 08 that of the Michigan Bouthern at once.
