Burglars in the Sewers.

There is a band of thieves in Naples which frequent the underground sowers, and bore their way into shops for the purpose of robbery. One morning recently a leather dealer, on unlocking his warehouse, found a largo holo in tho floor and skins and money gone to tho value of 3,00(1 francs. He called the police, and several of thorn, together with some towermon, penetrated into the dark vault, with a lantern. They had not gone far when they discovered a man, and called to him to stop. But with a cry, "Madonna 1 Do not kill mol" the ma i lie 1 along the sower, the pollca after him, and following him for ut least a mile, passing under throe or four streets, out without success. The police are now watching the sewers like cats, but there are many escape holes.
