The FreebOOters At Work In
Chelsea.

A thief Of the Reub Shaw stripe is
his vocation in and about Chel-
sea. A sick lady, whose husband is
absent, and who lives on Mill street.
had q visit from tLerascal 3 few nights
since. She was in a helpless eondi-
ton when the robber proceeded in
deliberate manner to ransack her
bureaus and wardrobes, taking such
articles as he had a fancy for. The
suffering woman ordered him out Of
room, but he paid no attention to the
command. She succeeded in arous-
ing one of her children in
the next room, and through this
aroused the neighborhood, but
the thief meantime decamped with a
portion Of the plumber he had col
lected.
Mr.. Henry Wilbur, a we'll known
river pilot, recently on the towboat
Piasa, received a visit from & thief
some time during last night at his
residence, in the vicinity Of Hill and
Robson street. MIR. Wilbur drew
fifty dollars yesterday from the Mem
phis Gravel Company, intending to
seLd it to his wife, who is absent from
the city. 1t being too late to forward
the money, he put it in his pocket
book aud placed the same under the
head Of his bed before retiring. This
morning he awOke i'll a stupefied con-
dition, aud the odor Of chlOroiOrm
permeated the room. A Ratchet lay
on a chair near the head of the bed.

bead crusher had the victim been
aroused while the thief was in the
room. A little while afterward the
h~ousekeeper found the empty pocket
book out in the yard. The thieving
Desperate left no other trace of his
visit, but it is likely he may be caught
up with.
The incidents alluded to have caused
some excitement in the vicinity, and
the inhabitants are making prepare.

sleeping apartments.
Another robbery occurred on Vance
street during the night. ThieveI
forced a back window of RUSSELL
grocery, on the corner of Vance auC

cigars and tobacco, worth about $75
The vicinity of Mr.. Wilbur's resi-
dence, on Hill and Robertson streets
is wrapped in darkness when the moOl
fails to shine, making it easy 70
thieves to carry out their designs. A

SOL GOLsHAN'S Electric Cigar Palace
Will be reopened
THIS EVENING
With a fresh lot of
ImpOrted Havana Cigars.
Yesterday gTornina,s FIre.

The incipient FIRE at A. G. Nardi's
saloon, on Vance and Causey streets,
early yesterday morning, was put out
by Mr.. Nardi himself, aud he was
pretty badly cut in the foot by broken
glass in the effort. He denies having
been behind the counter at any time
during the night. The ~barkeeper, Fred
Vanuaunicci, was behind the counter,
but not Mr.. Nardi, as reported. 1t
was only a little straw in the cellar
on fire. The insurance was $1,000 in
the Lancashire Insurance Company,
of England, but the loss was nothing
at all.
