Thieves broke into the confectionery store
of Mr.. Charles Harnish. on Hull street. be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh. Tuesday night,
but the proprietor is unable to estimate his
loss. He thinks, however, it is only a small
lot of candies and cakes. The perpetrators
of tho deed were evidently experts. With an
acknowledgements anger they bored q hole
through the door and then with o bar OF iron
succeeded in prizing off the keeper to the
lock. thus securing an entrance.
An Intellectual attempt was made to enter
the money drawer by prizing and saving.
While thus engaged they were evidently
frightened of by some unknown cause. A
small box OF cOppers was on the shelf Just
back Of the money drawer. but this was not
disturbed.
The store of Mr.. +. T. Morris. corner of
Hull and Fifth streets. was entered some time
ago in a similar manner. and 1t ls not I'M
likely that both robberies were committed by
the same parties. The police were notified
and are investigating the matter.
