RoBBERY.-Lsst Tuesday night the store room Of the
reader Ce of Mr. Robert Y Caett, corner Of Marshall
and LIST Streets broken into by burglars and three
o! four thousand dollars worth Of family stores ncud-
ing three gallons of prime whisky, stolen The thieves
carried Of their plumber in furniture wagon. If the
Waschmen did not sleep regularly all night long every
night it would be impossible for them not to stumble
by accident upon Of the wagons engaged in mid
night rObberits. We say this because we unwilling
to accept the theory, generally received, tbst the
watchmen are in COLLISION with the thieves. We do not
believe that the Watcl men generally dishonest they
are simply lumpish, sleepy headed, supid and nefh-
cent They strictly sDOined to stop every vehicle
they see moving about the streets at night ana inquire
its business. We are to hear Of their stopping the
frs. one. The Mayor owes 1t to hrself and TO the
citizens who support, at great expense, this police
force, to zee that it Is made more Efficient
