MARKET ROBBED.
Thieves Pay a Visit TO Leonard's
Store.
Marauisrs Must Hav. Been Familiar
With Premises.

Thieves entered George Leonard s
College streets last night ana secured
about $50 worth of meat and cash, putting
the total loss to about $50. The meat
taken included chickens, steaks chops
aud sausage. The contents Of the cash
drawer went with the meat.
The thieves must have been familiar
with tho premises as the way to the store
through which they went required
knowledge of the interior and thorough
acquaintance vi ith the stairway leading
to the deep cellar Of this building.
They forced open the main door leading
% the corridor from the side entrance
about midway of the building on College
street. and then crossed the narrow flight
of stairs. This led TO the first floor. They
then went down another steep and
narrow stairway to the sub-cellar. Goina
a short distance into IL they came to a
door which leads up into the market.
This they battered open with an axe or
some instrument OF that character. The
sub-cellar Is below the level of South
Main street and Its existence is not
known TO very many persons.
When tho barrier WAS pushed aside II
was even then no easy matter TO get tC
the marked floor In the darkness.
The thieves, however, appear to have
had no difficulty IN getting at the place
tboy were looking for without arousinl
attention. and they evidently worked
leisurely after they hud gained the
market. They made choice selections
and then departed. Ibe robbery was dis
covered as soon as the market was opened
and il was reported TO tho police.
The thieves also made their way into
the store Of Louis Keasler, the University
, tailor next south OF the Leonard market
There they secured twelve pairs OF tin
ished trousers worth $40 pair; an over
coat and q suit OF clothes, worth $500.
TLey rummaRed the money drawer, bui
secured no cash.

Russia and Poland. 1t was the ex-
change of Europe, possessing, in the
fourteenth century, fifty-two guilds

the invasion of sand as far as Sluis

tants had diminished to 1886. Then
came the religious wars and persecu-

mained, leaving little for the French
revolutionists.
