ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
A Market Space store Entered So Isu,-
glars, But They Are Frightened Away.

II was discovered yesterday morning
on opening Cartcrs dry goods store No I'll Mar.
ket Space that an attempt had been made 10 rob
the store some time during the previous night. Il
appears that an entrance was effected by forcing
open the side dOorto the street and that the burglars
then made an Intellectual attempt TO force the door
leading to the salCsroOm in the second story Holes
were then bored in the door aud an opening
made, through which some one must have passed
and endeavorel 10 open the door at the foot of the
stairway, opening into the main salcsroom, but
this was thoroughly barred. Ahole was made in
the partition at the side Of the stairs and II is sup.
posed that at this point Of their operations the
burglars were frightened 10y the private wNtchman
trying tho doors, There were found on the land
ing where the first door was bored q yalisc, con.
tanning pair Of ovcraS, and on the stairway were
two Jimmics and brace and Bit Near the valsc
was also found handkerchief, on which were the
initials W. \. +.
THE MrRlSsioS SEEMS TO RR
that the parties who attempted this robbery were
familiar with the premises. As the same store.
when occupied by Mr.. Shuser some years ago, was
robbed Of large quantity Of valuable silk goods,
IL may be that some of those engaged in this affair
may have been connected with the former case,
especially the robbers directed their
entire efforts to get into the silk de-
partment As q correlnivc incident, It is
stated that two men called at NJ Silycr'S store
two doors west OF Carriers, on Monday evening
saying that they had telegram for MIR. Silver, on
which there was fifteen CCntsduc, Mr. SilvcrnOt be-
ing at home they were told to call again, but they
did not return, ana inquiry nj the telegraph offices
yesterday showed that no dispatch had been 10.
