CAR RoBBED.-One night this week
Car in the w. & o. yard in this city
was broken open and robbed of several
boxes of tobacco, The tobacco had
been consigned to Messrs. ]. Broders q
Co, and was new brand which the
firm desired to put on the market.
{ Lieutenant Smith, when informed OF
| the theft, set 10 work to run down the
thief or thieves, and yesterday he had
reason to believe the tobacco had been
taken to one of the Petersburg" sa-
looms. He procured search warrant
| ard entered Richard Murphy's SALOON,
on the northeast corner ofPrincess and
Pitt streets, and found fifteen or TWEEN
ty pounds of the stolen tobacco on
sale. The lieutenant asked Murphy
where he bought the goods. and the
latter told him from Broders & Co. The
latter upon being Intercepted emphati-
cally denied having sold the tobacco,
and supplemented the assertion by
saying they had never seen
the brand alluded to, the sup
ply they had ordered never having
reached their store. The lieutenant
seized the tobacco (Which had, con-
trary to the revenue laws, been taken
from the original box and exposed for
sale) and arrested Murphy. The latter
then made another statement, this
time saying he purchased the goods
from a man with big moustache, that
be believed at the time it was stolen, that
he intended to throw it away, &c. The
examination of the case is set for seven
o'clock tonight. Murphy was released
on bail, Mr.. Geo. W. Fisher and
Mr.. Robert Murphy becoming his bonds
men in the sum of $3.50 for his appear
ance. The railroad companies complain
of the annoyance they experience
at the hands of band of thieves who
infest this city and neiehborhood. Last
summer, it is claimed, whisky was stolen
by the barrel from cars and sold III
quantities by the thieves to saloons in
the Petersburg" neighborhood.
