TIE value OF $2S. 100 were stolen to-day from

weil-knoTn iron-meI chant in the Coal and
Iron Exchange, by three strangers, who
cane apparently on business. The robbery
Vas not discovered till several hours after
wards. when il was too late to ascertain
whether they had been negotiated on the
street or not. The police have no clue 10
the thieves. Mr.. frimble was busy at his
G">k discussing matter Of business with a
Customer, when q strange man entered
sid put question about the price Of
certain goods. While he was yet speaking
two other persons. unknown to Mr.. Trim
Die, entered, apparently in search Of some
hing. A nod OF recognition passed between
!atn and the first conner. Trimble paid no
attention 10 their movements as they strolled
about the room. but resumed bis conver>a-
lion. Close by his side was a safe standing
vide open They did not speak to him
again, and eventually went out together.
Nore than an hour passed before Trimble
became aware that ne had been robbed. In
Che OF the compartments OF the safe, eX-
3o>cd to view, had been lying package OF
bonds tied up together. This was gone.
Voting else had been touched. The num-
Der and denomination OF each OF the stolen
D3rds were known, and measures were
!astn at once 10 stop their negotiation.
BIT enough time had elapsed for the thieves
70 sell their plumber.
