Heavy robbery. --At an early hour yesterday morning the clothing store of Messrs. Darracott, Harris & Co., 112 Main street, was forcibly entered and robbed of a large quantity of goods. The thieves effected an entrance by bursting open a gate in the rear, on the alley leading from 13th to 14th street, wrenching off one of the iron bars from the back window of the store, and opening the window. Gas was burning in the store all night, and the rascals seem to have gone to work quite deliberand vests, some few of which they dropped outside on taking their leave. A drawer near the centre of the store was opened, and a gold snuff-box, worth $100, the property of Mr. Charles Darracott, and, it is believed, a gold watch, belonging to Mr. Harris, were stolen. The papers in this drawer were scattered about, in the search for cash, but fortunately they found none. Mr. Darracott was about the store until midnight, and doubtless the thieves were watching his movements, taking advantage o
Escape from jail. --The officers at the city jail discovered yesterday morning that three of their prisoners had made their escape during the night and fled to parts unknown. Their names are William Martin, John Lipscomb alias Jack Shepherd, and Pat, Cunningham — all known by the police, and somewhat notorious in the community at large. The first was awaiting trial for breaking into Porter, Harris & Horner's store; the second for breaking into C. P. Word & Bro.'s, and the third for some misdemeanor of less importance. It appears that they dug a hole through the wall of their cell and climbed upon the roof of the work-house building from whence, by means of ropes made of their bed-clothing, they let themselves down into the corporation lot.--The hole was worked through the wall with iron bars taken from the door of the cell; but how they managed to remove these bars from their places, we have no means of ascertaining. It was, altogether, quite an adroit exploit.
