Their next care was 10 make safe retreat with
their plumber, and this they hoped to accomplish by
leaving the New-street side of the bull ling. They
took their boots, in order that little noise pos

bags of plunder down stairs TO the ground floor Tns
process made considerable noise, and disturbed two
servant girls employed in the saloon Of Thomas Ab-
bot next door to the building where the thieves
at work. The girls on being awakened from sleep by
the noise, supposed burglars were at work in
the adjoining building and gave the alarm to Officers
Burns Murphy and Croft of the First Ward Pol ce.

from the restaurant TO the hall adjoining, and there
discovered Fix sacks Of silks Information then

reserve force were on the spot, and the whole
block was surrounded In New street piece of silk

lice are entitled to credit for their promptness 10 this

of property which within few months past have been
stolen from different stores in the city.

were too tired to go aroiher step, they asked
"Well, can't You stable our horses, and give
