A piece of the back of the safe was blown right through the stove, and the whole office was disordered and disarranged by the burglars and the explosion. The cash returns for the burglars were pootr, the regular deposit having been made by the firm just before the close of banking hours yesterday. First stealing tools from the nearby railway and armed with bricks, crowâ€" bar and other implements the burglars gained entry to the office, turned the safe around and attacked the back. By the use of nitroâ€"glycerine or dynamite the back was blown from the safe. A felt blanket was used to deaden the sound, and as there is no one living in the near vicinity the burglars were able to work unmolested. Books and records are apparently unharmed so the loss to the firm is confined chiefly to the $42 cash and the damaged safe. The discovery of the crime was not made luntil members of the staff arâ€" rived this morning and found the lock on the front door jammed and the place in disorder.
