The ship.chsndlery and supply store Of
G+nreh W. Moss on the City ID ok was
eui-r last night by burglars. and s,unds
- the amount ~ brut ri ghIy dollars. ia.
iuiing M ten dollars in money that
was ell ia Tie drawer. carried Of. The
thiel II CT d a. entrance by brsking the
rltss window out Of side door in az
alley way aud putting his hands through
the small iron grating that covered the
aperture, lifted the iron bar that west
across the door ON the inside. Several
pairs Of 1ne pants were taken IRON a
show case on the counter, and two or
three fne nickel plated revolvera and
some pocket knives taken from another
show case. and Ngold wa Ell valued
al $25. The desk near the front
window WAS rifled Of its contents and
the private papers aud bills scattered
over the floor. Mr.. Moss has not been
able to bud out what really has BEEN
carried off az his store Is filed with
every conceivable article to be found 10
general supply stnre. and be will have
10 make general examination before he
can ascertain his loss. He was satisfied
this morning that his loss wou not ex.
coed $50. Including the money that was
taken. lie thinks the burglars must have
been frightened of by persons passing to
and from the oyster houses in the neigh
borhood. The robbery Is supposed TO
have taken place about midnight as NO
tracks we're left on the snow which com
mrnced falling between two aud three
O'clock this morning.
This Is the second or third time that
robbery has been committed In that To-
caiiiy. which shows the necessity of a
special watchman for property ia that
locality The merchants are at the mer-
cy Of The dredgers and boatmen that FREE
Quent the harbor aud their places of
business becomes an easy prey for the
burglar and robber. Thousands of dol
lars of valuable property are exposed
alike TO the incendiary aud the Tobber,
whose owners. are heavy tax payers to
the city treasury, and are deserving OF
better protection at their hands.

does not know the bad odor OF the Harrisburg
