Bold Robbery.
CINCINNATI, August 7.-SolOmon Par
EZRA, q pawnbroker at 32S West Fifth
street, started out last Thursday leaving
his wife and daughter in charge OF the
shop. They took chairs and sat on the
pavement near the front door, and while
sitting there, thief entered the rear
part. Although the gas was burning
brightly, he. succeeded in getting from
eight to ten thousand dollars worth Of
jewelry out Of the open safe, and escap-
ing. The loss was not discovered until
Friday.
Suspected Foul Play.
There has been growing suspicion
here that the four young Cincin-
uatians whose bodies were recov-
cred from the river, and who
were supposed to have been run over in
a skin by the towboat "My Choice, were
realv v the victims Of feul play. The
bodies when recovered were terribly
mangled about the face in almost a SIM
liar manner. The theory advanced was
that this was done by the barges they
struck, but this is now dlscreditcd. Of
al1Iher effects consisting of some $500,
jewelry guns, finger rings and watches
nothing was recovered but one empty
trunk and little dog. Besides this the
pilot OF the towboat says that the Skitf
was empty when the boat struck it.
There are two whisky boatmen who ap.
pears to know all about tho parties who
got the skiff after the collision. They
forced It's lock and took out All iron and
n TIN box, some knives and forks and
other articles, and then sold the skiti for
three dollars. 1t is on the authority of
these men that the drowning theory rests.
The matter will probably receive
thorough Investigation.
The friends of the four young men
who were drowned by the capsizlng of
the steamer My Choice, discredit the sto-
ry of foul play. The party took no val.
uables with them, and their baggage is
on its way to Cincinnati.
