A. bnco of safe blowers got la tbcir work
very cfTectlvcly about 4 o'clock yesterday
jnornliiR ill Tom Collopy's ' saloon , corner of
Sixteenth and "VlntonstreoW.
Eutronco to tiio building was efTccted
through n war window , which was forced
open. The burglars wont through the cash
drawer but found nothing to reward them
for their labors. Tlioy then nttaclted the
safe. In drilling through the door to reach
tlio combination , they breko a drill ,
the point sticking fast in , the hole , compelling
them to begin again. This tlmo they ivcro
successful. The chnrgo they used to blow
ojicti tbo door must Lave been a very heavy
ono.
The Interior of tbo safe wni totally

The ex plosion also blowout the door of the
rash box , which w tern loose from iti
fastenings , so that all tlio cracksmen had to
do was to pick up Uio contents of thosafeand
Jly.Tlio
Tlio sound of the explosion was beard for a
distance of several lloohs and awakened people -
plo two blocks away.
Ofllccr WaiiKhorty , who patrols thatbcat ,
had Just nportea from the box nt ] 2lfhueiitli
and Vlnton itndwus near the conicrof Seven-

Ho liastonod intlio direction of the sound ,
hut Imd gene Imrdly u block when lie way
con fronted by two men -who pulled icvolvcra
and ordered him to hilt.Vithout wnltlnj ; to
oo whothei ho intended to obey they ce an
shooting nt him. The olllecr returned the
flro and fully a dozen shots were exchanged.
when the mon turned south on Sixteenth and
ran across Into the woods. The ofllecr fol

A few hours later , some children found the
missing ca.h box in Kplcy's briult yard on
Bancroft between lAmrtcciilhaud rlfticnth ,
r.boutthwo blocks from the scene of the
hurnlnry. A bundloof jmpors covered with
hlooily llnpor tnirks was also found ncur the
sarnopltuo.
These pipers boloiifjed to Street CoramLs
sloncr Flaniiery , who was for.norly Collopy's
partner , mid xvlio had led tliun in the safe
for dose keeping1.
There vas no clue loft as to the Identity of
the cracksmen or to tbo direction taken by
them after IcnUup tlio brick jard.
Tbo shattci-ed safe Is a wreck. 3t was
moved ncirly n foot from Its position by the
cxpkmon U'lio tloor was not blown from iti
hinges , but was thrown open with such force
that thulaioh in ado a dent nearly half an
Inch deep In tbo corner of nu Ice chest which
it struck.
Ono of the liolta nas broken sfjuaroly off ,
nnd the > socket plate Into which the holts Hi
was split over half Its length. There was
.vorylittlo loftof the door except the outside
plate.
T'ho c.nh-box contained $7 In silver and
about S"JO In old and rare coins , the value of
which \vns over $100.
They vero highly prized by Mr. Collopy ,
who bud boon engaged in collecting them
nearly tvcuty years.

On next Monday morning , bright ami
early , John A , McSlmno will put to Avoric a
force of men to demolish the old brick build
ing which for years has stood on the south
west corner of Fifteenth nnd Ilarnoy streets.
In Its stead uo will erect n magnificent
brirk blotk , to cost $100,000. This building
' vi ill bo completed by July i of licit year and
n Strong effort will bo niailo to put it under
roof this tooson.
< riio building will bo fashioned In the main
nfterthoelcfrunt structure owned by Mr.
Mcbhnnoln Chicago und located on the cor
ner of Van J3uron street and Fourth nronuo.
Tholncomo fi-om the latter structure is enor
mous , -\vbllo the building Itself Is ono of theme
mo t attractive- the city.
'I'ho tearing down of tlio old structure
would have boon undertaken n long tlmo ago ,
but for the fact that It would hu\o loft seine
people in the debris , as many of the tenants
positively refused , to vacate. For moio than
a year Ir. MtShuno has been endeavoring to
got them out nnd has just now suc
ceeded , the only tenants being a col
ony of henry rats which , it Is stated ,
resent the effort to deprive them of tnelr ancient -
ciont abldinprnlnco with about ns much per
sistency as dta tholr human coadjutors.
