Boua1MAN, THOMAS 81 co.'s STORE FORCED
ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF
| GOODS STOLEN.
| The book store Of Boughman, Thomas Co.,
at 421 Market street, was entered by burglars,
Sunday night, and about fifteen hundred dollars
worth Of goods stolen. All the gold pent and
holders, including the trays, with a single
exception, all the opera glasses except five which
were in the pocket Of coat belonging to MI.
Boughman, three silver centennial medals, and
enough satchela to contain the booty were car
| ried of.
The entry was made through the rear part Of
the store Gaining to the back yard by seal
lug the high fence. the thieves broke the fasten-
| ings OF the cellar door, and descending into the
basement went up narrow stairway to the
door which opens into tho store on
the side next the CuMMERchhL building.
This door was fastened with two bolts, the po-
sitions of which were Known for panel was
bored and removed above The upper one and it
pushed back, when the lower one was broken.
In the performance of this work tho thieves
were perfectly secure, for the location OF the
door ia such that it cannot be seen from the
store front, and is sufficiently far back to pre-
vent the NOISE of breaking bolts being heard on
either street.
Once upon the inside the work Of robbery was
easy enough, although the removal OF the goods
was attended by some risk Of detection from the
ollhlut tnTnuSu lue upon iiouI VI INV n'oie
| still the thieves did not seem muchssraid OF such
rsk.for they even approached a.case in one Of the
| front windows and from it distracted the Cen
tennial medals and other articles The pens
were in a case further towards the centre OF the
room. Tho money drawer was also removed to
the rear part Of the store, where the burglars sat
down to arrange their plumber. This must have
occupied some time, for all about ON the floor,
| this morning, are little pools OF tobacco juice
not yet dried up, denoting that the robbery was
perpetrated late in the night or early this morn
| ing Mr.. Thomas WAS in the store yesterday and
nothing had then been disturbed
| The departure from the store was made
| through the same way it was entered. But be-
fore leaving the thieves first BACKED their boots,
washed their hands, and oombed their hair leav-
ing qnids of tobacco around where they had pro-
| pared their toilet. The safe WAS not tempered
with, as to have attempted to open it would
have exposed the burglars too much to the gaze
| of passers by on Market street. This robbery il

city since the attempt upon the National Bank
of Delaware, almost two years ago. gas light

real estate AGENT has been appointed agent tc
secure subscriptions for tho erection OF the con
templsted Red Mems Hall in this city. Az a
menls of reaching the public he has prepared a
circular which sets forth the character OF the
building aud the probable revenues which Will
arise from it when completed. The building IL
to be As by 100 feet. and four stories in height
the first OF which s designed for stores, the SEQ.
ond for lecture room and two Offices, inc thirl
for reading room and the fourth Tor society
rooms, The basement il also designed Tor DIS
mess purposes. The total revenue which it is
believed will arise from tho rental OF this build
ing is stated al S6, $50. 1t is proposed to MAKE
twenty five months. from which we gather that
tho shares are 425 each. AThere have al
ready been subscribed $40 shares, representing

week, or 100 in year, at $50. each time, and
offices at $3.50 third story, large reading room
for ono of lodges. without charge fourth story,
lodge rooms, at $50 each for Is lodges
Upon this showing the circular Gays it is be-
lieved the estimate of revenue is low, in Wow OF
the present scarcity of good Lodge or Society
rooms, and the demand for Hall with seating
capacity of from 500 to 600 for Lectures and
other public entertainments, and that the re-
cepts will pay all expenses, and from to 10 per

mediately, and in tile near future much larger

this however, in former years He has
