Boy THIEVES AT WoRK.-Monday night the
store of Mr.. Philip Buchheit, at the northwest
corner of Meeting and re streets, was en-
tered by party of thieves and robbed. They
effected their entrance by climbing in through
the skylight over the door, which had not been
pulled down, and must have been party OF
boys, as the aperture was too narrow to admit
OF the passage of mans body through it.
Tbey stole about fifteen dollars in loose change
from the till and carried of every cake In the
store. They had an easy access TO the parlor
sfrom the store, but were evidently deferred
from attempting anything further by the pose
of the bakers at their work.

THE H4PPOLDT BURGLARY.
The Prisoners Examined-July in Hot
Water.

Toby Brown and Sam. Mitchell, alias July, Inc
black dwarf, lodged in the Guardhouse On the
charge of breaking into and robbing Mr. ). ID.
Happodt's store at the corner Of Meeting
street and Hollbeck's alley, were brought oe-
fore Trial Justice Levy yesterday morning lot
examination The prisoners had been connneu
lu adjoining cells a. the Guardhouse, anu WINE
talking had a quarrel, in which they had IN
dulred in severa; hard threats against each
other.
Mr.. Happoldt testified as to the robbery ana
breaking into his store. and also identlhea the
gun found at Wrigat's house as the gun stolen
from him.
Thomas Wright testified that, previous TO
Thursday, July had promised 10 lend him
gun with which to so shooting on Saturday,
and that on Thursday night, about 10 O'CLOCK
or little after "bell ring" July had brought
him the gun in question and tent 1T to him.
July contradicted himself several times. and
in various statements, but at last maintained
that he had got the gun from William With
ers, a colored youth, staying in the yard Of
Mr.. D. T. Corbin, and that he had carried the
gun 10 Wright about or 8 o'clock Thursday
evening. Before his incarceration, July swore
that he got the gun from Toby Brown, but
now denies this, and says that Toby Is The
witness who saw him get it from Withers.
Toby Brown swore roundly that he never
saw the gun before; had not met July since
the robbery, and knew nothing about the mat
ter.
William Withers testified thath knew moth
ing of the gun, and had not seen July for two
months.
During the examination, it came out that
Withers had two pistols in his possession,

these circumstances, Toby Brown and William
Wlthers were held for further examination,unt
this matter could be looked into. July, being the
person TO whose possession the gun was traced
first alter it was stolen, aud who told several
different stories about it, was committed TO
ai In default OF FIVE hundred dollars bail for
trial at the next term of the Court of General
Sessions.
On his way to the Jail July became commu-
nlcative, and suggested to his constaoulary
escort that he would like very much to have
private rooms at the hotel. This aversion to
company was explained on the arrival Of the
party at the jail July was an old ''spot-boy"
for the detectives, and many of the prisoners
had been caught and sent to Jail by his aid.
They owed him grudge not to be forgiven or
forgotten in hurry, and wonld have liked no
better fun than 10 have their dimlnutive enemy
In their midst. With dwarfllke cunning July
had loreseen this In all its colors, and hence
his demand for private rooms, which demand
became more urgent as he surveyed his glaring
fellow.lodgers. July" says the jalor, "
guess there would be trouble If l LETT you with
the boys" and much 10 the chagrin OF the lat
ter, and to Juls's delight, he was taken up to
lonely apartment in the tower.
