Eur-glare Make a Rich Haul From an In- surance 011100 In Brooklyn. ’ BROOKLYN, April 1.—’.l‘he safel in the rifles of'the Metropolitan Life Insurance company on the third floor of the Jefierson building on Court square was found blown open by the employees today. The burglars succeeded in getting away with $1,500 in cash, and they left untouched be- tween $2,000 and $3, 000 in checks. Dy- namite was used in opening the safe, and the office was a complete wreck. Furni- ture was strewn about, and the carpet, which had been taken up by the thieves and thrown over the safe to dende'n the sound of the explosion, was in shreds. The janitor of the building told the po- lice that he had heard a sound at 5 o’clock that resembled an explosion, but as he be- lieved that the noise came from outside the building 'he did not investigate. Gil- man’s restaurant is in the basement of the building, and last night several men came in there shortly after 12 o'clock. It is believed that they slipped up- tlie stairs near the elevator unobserved and then proceeded to the third floor. Here they broke a window leading to the insurance Office, climbed inside and began opera- tions, which were successfully terminated, no doubt, at the time that the janitor says he heard the sounds of an explosion. It ~was easy to leave the building either by the fire escapes in the rear or Red Hook lane, which is a dark alley running from Fulton street to Livingston street, or through the restaurant to the same dark alloy. The Jefferson building occupies the same position in Brooklyn that Tammany hall does in New York city. It is the headquarters of the regular Democracy of Kings county, and thefloors over the meet- ing hall are let as offices. The building is within a stone’s throw of police head- quarters, and the biuecoats are very much chagrined over the robbery. The only clew they have thus far is a new kit of tools which the burglars left behind. It is believed that the burglars are the same men who were frightened away from the Krombach hotel, Twenty-fifth street and Third avenue, yesterday, after they - had bored two holes in the office safe pre- paratory to blowing it open. THE STONE FAMILY MURDER. Err-Convict Strong Arrested For the Crime—Excitement at Akron. ' AKRON, 0., April 1.—Akron was but little less excited today than was the neighboring hamet Of Tallmadgc, where the butchery of the Stone family occurred on Sunday morning. At Tallmadge all business was practically suspended, and the people gathered at street corners to, discuss the terrible event. Stillson, the .servant of the Stone family, is still alive, but cannot possibly recover. Emma Stone is in a critical condition, but Hattie has improved considerably, and her injuries may not result fatally. Marshal Mason of this city is said to have atciimiilated enough evidence to fasten the crime on Anson B. Strong, an ex—convict. Strong was taken into custody by Dep- ut-y Sheriff Mason at Ravenna. He was taken before Sheriff Griffin and Detective Dunn of Akron and put through a close examination. A warrant was then read to Strong, charging him with the murder of the Stones. It was sworn out by Detective Dunn. Strong took the matter coolly. “Another put up job,”. was all he would ‘ say. . 'i'ne arrest created the greatest excite- ment in Ravenna and Kent. Strong was broughtto Akron. He worked for‘Stons ' many years, but they had no trouble unti over a year ago, when Stone got research warrant res Strong and found some stolen lap .robcs on Strong’s premises. When Strong was broughthere, a great crowd gathered around the city prison, and although there were no manifestations “of violence. Mayor Harper ordered Battery F, First regiment. Ohio light artillery, to remain under mans. The funeral oi lllr. and Mrs. Stone will . be held tomorrow. New Hampshire Republicans. CONCORD. N.
