..proehey Tom, Explnins.

Thomas Garraghy, alias "Bfookey
Tom," called at the REPUBLICAN, Office
this morning, complaining that he was
misre presented in relation to the bogus
tea business alleged to be carried on al
"Chick" Foy's establishment, 100 East
Water street. He says that he went to
Philadelphia on Saturday last to zee q
sick aunt, and remained with her until
Tuesday night, and consequently could
nave had no land in the tea frauds re-
ported. He admitb that he boards at the
place named, and said this fact afforded
reasonable grounds for supposing that
he might have been connected with the
crooked things said to be carried OF
there, but he stoutly denied having any
hand in the transactions. He says he is
abor. going to Philadelphia to make bis
home with his aunt, having secured
employment with the American Dredg-
ing Company.
Cut OF Justice to the REPUBLICAN, 1t
should be stated that II gave the name
Of "Brockey Tenn" as one of the "cap-
psrs," on tho very best authority.

with.his father, who was u minister,
upon the Philadelphia pike. He went
to Philadelphia in early life, graduated
from the University OF Pennsylvania,

was Of high order, and he was al ex-
pert linguist, being verssd in the French,
Italian, German and Spanish language.
He published translation of sopho.
cles' "Electra" aud a volume OF poema.
Lately he was brought into prominence
in connection with q suit instituted
against him by ADgelique D'Heain for
divorce with alimony, notwithstanding
the fast that he was tho husband OF the
woman he now leaves his widow, and
with whom he lived happy life. The
evidence in the case was overwhelming
ly in Mr.. BrinckIe's behalf, and the jury
gave him verdict. Bis health had
already failed him, but the excitement
upon the case so shattered
his constitution that he never recovered
sun ciently to resume his professional
duties. The funeral Of Mr.. Bripekle
will take place on Saturday afternoon,
and the remains will be inferred in a

IN EIGmTEEa MINUTES TIVE,
Thieves Freak into Kenuara ana
CompRDy's store and stoAl $500
worth Of hfIhs.

l "vAbA Va FAAAbs
It was just twelve minutes after two
o'clock this morning that Richard Heri-
tsge, the wGlchman on Market street,
made bis usual trip down Market
street. He passed down noticing all
the stores on the way, aud observed
that the store Of ". M. KsnnGrd & Co.
at No 62l Market street, was surely
fastened. Hs went up the street and
passing Kennard's store at jast 2.3e
O'Clock ne was surprised TO see tie door
open. An examination showed that it
had been forced with q jimmy.
Following this discovery came an
examination, which showed that the
burglars had made a "fat haul" a
large quantity Of silks having been ta-
ken. A careful estimate PLACES the loss
at $500. Nothing WAS taken but silks,
and the robbers discarded everything
but black shades. Nona of the pieces
taken retail for less than $1,25 per
yard. s
| CLEVER TRICK.
An effort had first been made to se-
cure an entrance through the back
part of this store. The outside door, be-
ing of wood, was easily forced, but q
serious obstacle next presented itself, in
the form Of an iron door. This COM
pellsi them to adopt some other course.
They then went around on Market
street. The watch man having passed
down they directed their efforts on the
front door, which speedily yielded,
opening easily and making but little
noise. This move is possibly the only
thing that prevented them from detec-
tion, as the forced door is the only one
in the store to which burglar alarm
is not attached. Two young men were
sleeping in the store room, but strange
to say they did not hear single sound
Of robbers, and were amazed when
told that thieves had been operating
within few feet of them.
The firm had more very valuable
silks on the way to the store, and If the
robbery had not taken place until day
two later tho theft would have been
much more extensive.
The Mayor offers reward of $500
for tho arrest and conviction of the
thieves.
AN USsUcCsssFuL ATTBNPT.
Robbers, imposed TO be the same
parties who entered VIM. N. Kennard
& Co.'S. store, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to break into the store of James
* Webb, No. 224 Market street. A
jimmy was used, and although the door
was not forced epen the lock was so dis.
arranged as to make repairs necessary.
Had the attempt been successful the
rascals would have secured a large
booty in the shape Of gold pens, opera
glasses, &c.
Suspicion points to a young man
for both. the robbery at Kennard's
and the attempt to break into James &
Webb's, and9 circumstantial evidence
against him would warrant his arrest.
But as usual he can't be found.
