ROBBERIEs. = Early yesterday morning two
tn entered the residence of Mrs. John Rivers,
No. 220 st. Joseph street, passing through a
gateway upon Triton Walk. When first dis
covered by Mrs Rivers. the intruders were rihing
the drawers. Paralyzed with fear, she remained
silent, although the rap of a policeman without
could be heard while the thieves were in the
house. They succeeded 10 getting off without
cspture, carrying with them box of assorted
jewelry, pin with eight diamonds, several sets
Of earrings, q watch and pistol.
During TIE same night but few hours earlier,

made of together with il. They were pursued
down It. Mary street to Magazine by Corporal
| Calvin, Who there saw them enter street car
bound down. The corporal gave chase TO the
| Car, and saw one of the men tCampbel) alight at
Robin street and ru1 towards the river, while
keeny remained in the car. This was undoubtedly
done with view TO diverting the pursuit, in the
| hope that Campbell, who retained the portmon.
| nsie, might escape. But the corporal continued
| to pursue the latter, and his choice of game
proved correct, for near the corner of Robin and
