Daring New York City Burglary Ring Nets $2000 Loot
A group of five to six professional burglars raided Astoria households and the Hiller residence at Vernon Street. They overpowered families with revolvers, seized valuables including coats, jewelry, three gold watches, and a gilded toy bank.

A nineteenth century evening catastrophe over the Ashtabula River on the Lake Shore line caused an iron Howe truss bridge to fail under the Pacific express. Eleven cars plunged seventy five feet into icy water, catching fire and killing many. Rescue efforts followed as witnesses described horrific scenes of burnings, drownings, and charred remains. Among the dead were composer P. P. Bliss and his wife, later mourning spread in Chicago Tabernacle services.
