They blow open safes with nitro-glycerine or dynamite. When Nitro-glycerine is used in all of the cracks of the safe is puttied up with bar soap; a cup, made of soap, is placed at a crack near the top of the safe, into which the nitro-glycerine is poured, and from which the liquid finds it way about the entire safe door. The liquid is afterward exploded with a fulminating cap and fuse. In some instances great damage is done by the explosion. The "Yegg" like to operate where there is a night-watchman guard, in the belief if the watchman is bound with tape there will be no other interference from police or others who believe a place so guarded to be perfectly safe. This class of burglar operates on safes in post offices breweries, street railway companies, offices, local headquarters of western beef houses and oil companies offices. - New York Sun.
