ROBBERY.


Mr.. Owen Colgan, of 80 James-street,
was robbed on Sunday night Of $36 in sill
yer, and $40 in bank bills, by some person
who is supposed to have secreted himself in
the garret, previous to locking up the house
for the night The money was taken from
small trunk, containing his receipts of the
day, which was placed on the mantel of the
bed chamber of his clerk. Yesterday morn
ing the trunk was found in the hall, broken
open, and the money taken out. Herald.


Mr.. c. must be doing a great business to
take in $46 on the Sabbath; but we sup
pose the receipts were increased by the
tremendous excitement caused by the
Herald intimating that change of incum-
bents on the Police bench of this city was
likely to take place. Let us see, forty-six
dollars would pay for fifteen hundred and
thirty-thrce glasses at three cents each, the
profits on which, 1--WE mean to the seller
could not be less than thirty dollars A
great business, truly-forthe dealer Brook
Ign Daily .Ado.


And very bad business, too, for the Gus
toners and the community, if we should go
into a calculation of the family brawls, as
saults and batteries, tears, groans, broken
hearts and beggared firesides, resulting from
these 1888 doses Of liquid damnation! Sup
pose some avaricious baker, wishing to
make all the money he could seven days in
the week, should keep his bread shop open
on the Sabbath day, and do business Of
SSp46, would not the whole community, rum
sellers and all, declare it an outrage against
decency, good order, and lazy itself? Why
is it that the class of men doing more real
injury than all other bad classes combined,
not excepting thieves, robbers and pirates
the world over, are still privileged by law
and law administrators beyond every other
class.-.Neao York Organ.
