MORE ROBBERIES. Burglars Continue to Operate and Leave no Clue. Burglars got their work in on Monday night again in the western part of town, They visited the residence of Mr. Rettig, the Market street brewer, during the absence of the night watchman, who had gone to examing the condition of the new well lately sunk at Ninth and Norwegian streets. They were evidently on the watch an opportune moment, for the watchman re returned in about twenty minutes, by which time they had concluded their operations and proceeded to the saloon of Anton Reinhart, at Tenth and Market streets, where they pried open the front door and got into the saloon.

They took what change was in the till, pocketed a few bottles of whiskey and some cigars and took their departure. At Rettig's the robbers took a revolver from the office and a case of rare coins which Will Reitig had been collecting for many years, and which he valued at over $200. The robbery WAS not discovered until about 4 o'clock in the morning when the servant girl came down stairs. The same party, presumably, forced open the front door of the residence of W. R.

Cole, 900 Mahantongo street. The door is a double one, of heavy walnut frames and panels. It was ewollen from the wet weather and bard to open even when unlocked. It was shortly after three o'clock when the burglars got to work, and was raining hard. The beat of the rain on the tin roofing of the porch covering deadened the sounds of the operators' tools.

Only when the door WAS forced did the noise become sufficiently distinct to attract attention. If the thieves entered the house at all, they were in it but a few moments, for no trace de of them could be found by Mr. Cole who got down stairs as quickly as he could equip himself for a possible encounter with such visitors. The street door WAB open, and the bolt of the lock -shot showed that the door bad been opened with 8 jimmy, which was plainly evident in daylight, the impressions from this powerful instrument being quite numerous on the lower part of the door frame, Nothing was stolen: There is no clue to the robbers.
