ois Offering 600 reward for the apprehs nsiou of
the roooer of w w Adams jsweiry store, In
Aiexandris, were posted In this city yesterday
The Washing gton Star says:
The burglars stripped 1t contents to thes vslue
OF from $40 OO0 to $50 600. The burglars made a
clean sweep, taking watches, ieweiry, SC and
removing the valuables from an iron safe, which
they succeeded in opening. 1t is not certain
whether the thieves effected their entrance through
Az upper back window or from the street front -
The lock OF the street door has apparently been
ago. it could not be opened without difficulty
what makes the loss the more annoying 10 the
proprietor Is the fact that he had lust decided
upon having watch kept upon his p -emises each
night. From the quantity of goods removed 1t IL
evident either th several persons wers
in the robbery, or that they made q number Of
trips.
