ROBBERS AT WORK.
Keh0e and Manning'S Store on
Broad Street Broken Into.
Small Amount Of Cash, Perfumery, Paten
Medicines, etc., Stolen.

Another burglary was added to the al
ready long list on file at the police hea d p
quarters this morning Those who com.
iaitted the crime are still at large, but il
Is possible they may come TO grief for the
articles stolen are of such nature to ex-
pose the ROBBERS ca detection.
The store broken into was that of
hehoe ~ Manning, 81 Broad street over
whio resides DIR. David Grant, Alfred
Buckly, Edward NJ. Everett, Frank
vaughn and their families In leaving
me store the robbers passed through the
galway OF the house leading to the apart
inept of these families.
.he first intinatiOn of ANYTHING wrong
was given who Mr.. Manning went 20 the
store at an early this morning He found
everything behind the counters topsy
turyy and at once telepEoned TO Captain
Sory VI the Oakland street station. The
latter sent word 90 detective Headquarters
ana Detective Nickerson accompanied the
captain To the scene.
They found by tracks i'm the yard that
two persons were concerned I'm the affair.
nnd one went into the stable of Grocer
buckley and from his wagon took an old
boap box. This was placed under "A small
window in the rear OF the store and about
six leet above the level Of tho wnik. Tho
lroDcr-; smashed in the window and ono
ot TIE men went into the store, and broke
VJcn the money drawer, where he found a
small amount Of cash. The cigar case was
thon opened and n handful of cigars taken
from each Of the boxes which contained
tho best brands. A full box of choica
aigars was taken from IA closet under the
counter at the south side Of the store.
TIE indications are that tho robbers
Nude a thorough search of the store for
cash, but found only that which was in
the money drawer. From cases on the
side of the store the fellow took Terfum-
cry, toi.ot articles, playing cards soaps
and number OF bottles and boxes of
patent medicines. As Mr. Manning says
more than bnshel of stuff must have
been carried off.
After the man had taken all no could
. carry without the Use of a team. he left
the store by going down cellar and then
forced oren door leading into Mir. Ever
cts cellar came up the stains and out
through the front hallway into Broad
sro1t. The break, it is thought, was
made about o'clock as ono OF the tenants
upstairs heard the front door close about
that hour
Two persons a man and boy, who are
idcatited with those seen 10y Mr.. Gun

evening.

The war, so far as the Stock Exchange Is
concerned. Is practically at an end. or course
IL Is possible that some action taken by tho
Powers may result IN "a selling panic. IL ~
not reasonable 10 suppose that Greece entered
into this conflict alone Some one Of the great
nations must have promised "A certain support
and IL the fact in relation 10 this agreement
is brought 10 light stocks will decline. ON
all such breaks, however, they are purchase,
for, as has been frequently shown, the only
depressing influence will be the return OF
our securities by the foreigners, and when
these have been taken up. they easily can
be, there will be nothing 20 prevent the
MAJ ket from forcing still up much higher
level OF prices
In London today consols were 3s per cent.
higher, and the Americans were buoyant Mt
"A TO 5s per cent. above the New York parity.
People there recognize the possibilities OF "A
bull movement in the stocks and purchases
were made on the advice of j. T. Morgan,
who is enthusiastic regarding the future out
look for the Americans. Louisville and 81.
Paul were favorably regarded today, and
New York Central which has been lasgard,
was up 5S per ceat.
In relation to New York Central. Joseph
says that those who have any doubt, and ho
has not that the New York Central deal Will
be carried through may find 1t TO their adj
vantage 10 go short on bulges OF further
point or SO, but eventually New York Central
will sell around lo5. Temporarily it may
recedc per cent or so.
The New York foI eign houses today had
orders 10 purchase about 1900 shares.
The market was strong AT the opening today
and nearly all of the stocks showed material
advances. Leather preferred was an excep-
tion and dropped Ia per cent. in the hrst
hour. In speaking Of Leather, e. j. Knight az
Co. say today
Leather preferred was weak member OF
the combir alton yesterday, and If all signs do
not fail will yet go lower. The transactions
were not particularly heavy, but under the
bear pressure the stock dropped 10 5lls, and
at one time Bell & Co. offered 1900 shares at
5la., in one lot, and found no takers. Why
Leather preferred. with its occasional divi'
dends OF per cent, should be- selling above
80 is mystery. IL owes millions OF dollars
i'm passed dividends, and may be worth as
much as Cotton on, hut not more. AT
pToscnt the bearish argument that Is used ~
based upon the tariff outlook and the fear
that the duty OF / cent per pound on hi1os
may be adopted. The leather business Is
suffering now from the cheapness OF leather
and the Gearness Of hides and tho advance OF
/ cent Ter pound in the price OF leather
would mean the suspension Of tannins for "a
long time.
There was a total lack Of support for
Leather today and every evidence that large
lines Of stock were being hquidated.
London was particularly active later in the
day ON the purchase Of St Paul and Louis
vile. There was goo buying Of Gas, but
the buying of Sugar seemed to be short
covering.

A BIG COMBINE.
Consolidated and Chase Lasting Ma
chine Companies Consolidate

Brookton, Mass, April 2i 1t is seldom
that such interest Is aroused in labor cir
clcs in this city as that caused by the
news of the amalgamation of the Consol-
idated Hand Method Lasting Machine
Company and the Chuse Lasting Machine
Company. The warfare between these two
corporations has becn wagcd with deter
mination in this city for number of
years. Rumors regarding the matter lie
came rife yesterday when it was admitted
10y several agents of the Chase Company
that they had received official notices 90
cease hostiltes toward the agents of the
Consolidated Company at once An Asso
clated Press reporter interviewed num-
bcr Of them and was informed that the
report was correct Secretary u. McCon-
frey OF the &. l.. u. l.. also confirmed
the report as did j. j. Morton general
agent for the Consolidated Company in
this city.
Edward Dunphy, agent for the Chase
Company states that the deal will nCcessi.
tate the discharge of quite n number Of
the local agents. The deal affects also the
Continental Lasting Machine and Boston
Lasting Machine, the latter owned by the
Consolidated Company ana the former by
the Chase Company neither of which is
used III this city. 1t is thought this will
have more of u bearing on towns where
Womcn's goods are made than here.

In THE SANE CELL.
Crooks Who Swindled New Eng
landerS With Bogus Stock.
A Providence Woman Was Among
Their Many Victims.

Boston, April 2l.-A special from Chi
cago TO the Traveller, says: There are con-
fined within the wallis of Cook county
jail OH the north side of this city, two
men whose names ana histories are not
unfamiliar TO the people Of New England.
They are in the same cell. They are
Charles j.. George, formerly Of Woodsyille,
who at ono time engaged In collecting
news for the Boston Globe in New Ham
shire and Vermont and at one time was
treasurer of the Lynn, MASS, Bee which
suspended publication as the result of his
alleged speculations from It's treasury.
The other is Il. Morton Smith. well known
at one time, under the.signature Of Nor
ton" in the Boston Journal whose dis
patches from 1T. Albans, VT, were regarded
as authorities by the readers of that paper
through the east. 1t will be remem berod
that George was arrested and indicted by
the United States authorities for using
the mails for purpose of fraud and for
some time was in Jail at Joliet as "a
government prisoner. Among something
like hundred victims whom he fleeced
all the way from $50 To $500 each was
Ann G.. Mccormick of $50 Pond street
Providence, X. i.
All told, George secured, mostly from
New England, upward of $50, 0O0 and af-
ter spending considerable time last sum
mer on trip through the White Noun
tains, returned To this city with "a balance
of some Sll, 600 still 10 his credit in the
Hibernian Bank. This mysteriously dis
appeared IA few days previous to George :
capture, and il is thought that he has
covered it up in such way that no one
would bc any wiser until he is again n
free man. George was charged with
swindling by means of bogus stock of the
Santa Ysabol Mining Company. He is
now awaiting decision Of an appeal from
a tcn-year sentence. There are probably
not less than 200 owners of Santa Ysabel
stock i'm New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island and Massachusetts who con-
tributed To the vast fund laid up by
George and Smith. Smith was arrested
for selling the same stock.
