Burglary.-StoIen Goods Found
Arrest Of Seven Young men and
Boys.
On last Sunday morning Mr.. A.
VENT, proprietor of the New York
Store, on Market Street, discovered
that during the previous night his
store had been forcibly entered and a
large quantity of goods carried off.
The missing articles consisted princi-
pally of silks, cassimeres, cotton
cloth, &c, valued at $500 to $1,000.
The burglars had first entered through
a cellar window, at the rear end of
the building, then opened the cellar
door. They then cut through a trap
door, by using a bit, and prying the
wood apart with an iron bar taken
from the outside door. They succeed
ed in this way in gaining entrance to
the store room, where they helped
themselves.
At an early hour On Sunday the
police commenced a search for the
missing goods, and went through a
half dozen or more houses. About
noon, policeman MICHAEL PARKER
and Constable R.. A. BALDWIN found
in the house of SALMON WRIGHT,
south of the canal, a lot of silks, furs,
wooden and cotton goods, worth about
$500. The articles were secreted IN
der a lounge. Later in the day,
Marshal J. w. BROOKS visited ahouse
on Liberty Street, where a boy named
SYLvANUs INGERSoLL boarded, and
in a bureau in his room was found a
large portion of the stolen goods, also
a lot of burglars tools, false keys, &c.
On Monday morning another bundle
of the stolen goods was found in the
back yard of a house on the orne of
Liberty and Franklin Streets. We
believe this discovery was first made
by a German residing on the premis-
es, who promptly notified the officers.
The principal portion, if not all of the
goods stolen, have by this time been
recovered.
For months officers have been
watching closely the conduct of a
number of boys and young men in
this place, whom they were quite
sure were the authors of a number of
burglaries committed the past year or
two in stores and private houses. 1t
has, however, been nearly impossible
to get the thieves in a position where
the evidence would be conclusive
against them. Several well laid plans
were unfortunately betrayed in time
to defeat their successful execution.
But in the present instance they have
a tangible hold on several of the
parties, who although young in years
are old in crime, and pests to the
community.
q. During Sunday the following per-
sons were arrested on charge of being
parties to the burglary-CHARLEs
LOWRY, OSCAR FUTILE, SYLvANUs
INGERsoL, SALMON WRIGHT, AMOS
WRIGHT, THEODORE NUREMBERG
Err, and CHARLES INCLUSION. They
were brought before MAYOR DAWSON
who required each to give bail for
appearance this morning, in the sum
of n thousand dollars. CHARLES
INCLUSION, by his father, gave the
requisite security, but the others were
sent to Jail in default.
The burglary and the arrest of so
many young men, all of whom be-
long in the city, caused considerable
excitement, and several hundred
persons were gathered in and around
the Mayors office during Sunday
afternoon. There seemed to be gener-
al satisfaction felt that the gang of
young outlaws had at last been
brought to grief. That this party is
responsible for the numerous robber-
les that have been committed in this
town and vicinity for a year or two
past, is generally believed, and the
Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney of
the county, as well as the Mayor,
Council, Constables and Police have
been untiring in efforts to bring mat
tiers to a focus.
