Railroad and Express Office Robbed.

The railroad and express Office In
this town was broken into sometime
Saturday night last and an iros box
or safe, containing about $3.50, in coin
and currency, railroad tickets and
valuable papers, stolen and carried
away Entrance to the building was
made by tearing away the wire grating
on one of the windows and pricing up
the sash.
Mr.. J. A. Sanders, the agent, when
he first discovered the robbery Sunday
morning. notified headquarters in Bal
timore and detectives were at once dis
patched to the scene, but up TO present
writing, no tangible clue as to the
identity or whereabouts of the robbers
has been obtained
A somewhat remarkable feature of
the robbery is that there were pack
ages in the office at the time, valued at
more than 5000, left untouched, as
were everything else except the safe.
Among the undisturbed packages was
the gold watch OF Mr.. Warren M. AL
britain, valued at more than $50.
This latter incident has left the genial
Clerk of the Court into somewhat Of a
quandary. He cent tell whether the
seeming oversight on the part OF rob-
bers was due to their personal regard
for him, or that his watch was not
worth taking,
