A nnIh Rnhherv.

A bold effort to rob the store of H. Lilenthal and Company on Broad Street was attempted tonight about o'clock by two negro boys about IT years old. They succeeded in getting in the store and took about twenty pair of pants but dropped them after getting about twenty yards from the store to make their escape
 For the past week the two boys have been loafng in the alley back of the store and it was thought they were waiting for a chance to steal some thing. Last Saturday night they went in the store and priced a number of articles and went to the back door, which one of them unlocked. A pane of glass in the back door is broken and the hole Is covered by the top of a pasteboard box. Tonight while most of the clerks were at supper they went to this door and cut a hole in the pasteboard. One of them ran his hand through the hole and unlocked the door. Both then entered the store and from the counter grabbed an armful of pants. In going out they let the door slam. which attracted the attention of | che clerks. The clerks chased the ne- { groes through the alley and soon found the pants which they had dropped.
 After dropping the pants they went out through Hogan's Alley into Wash | ington Street, where they were joined | by two more boys about their own age and the four went to a pawnbroker on Alabama Street, where they bought
