THE BOMk TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30. 1896
WORK OF BURGLARS
Two Thousand Dollirs in Accounts
'And Checks
STOLEN FROM H. D. COTHRAN & CO.
Theiven Entered Thronuh the Window and
Rifled the Safe Bat Got
No Cash.
Burglars got in their work in the busi
ness hou«e of H. D. Cothrans & Co.,
Wednesday night.
They entered through the window
in the rear end with a couple of crow
bars and an old hand saw they broke into
the safe.
The combination was not turned on
when the members of the firm left the
store at about *lO o’clock Wednesday
night.
The thieves were evidently familiar
with the interior as they seemed to know
just where to pick up the tools in the
rear room and opening the heavy iorn
door they broke the lock of the inner
door and smahed into the wooden doors
of the pigeon holes where the private
papers were kept.
It happened that the cash had all been
transferred to the bank but the thieves
ransacked the drawers and pigeon holes
and carried off $1,500 in n«tes and ac
counts and SSOO in checks.
What they hoped to do with these
papers is a mystery. If they under
take to negotiate or collect them their
detection is certain.
No clew was left behind by which
the burglars could be identified. They
were evidently medium-sized men, as
they used the day book and ledger to
stand on while they rifled the draw
ers. The winflow through»which
they entered is a very small one, and
a big man would find some difficulty
in getting through it.
The books were scattered over the
floor a»d the thieves evidentlo made
a thorough search for cash, which
they failed to get.
The members of the flrm spent’ the
day going through their books trying
to locate the notes and checks stolen.
It is thought that the work was
done between midnight and day, as
the store is lacated in the Armstrong
building, right in ’the heart of the
city, and a dance was given near by
which did not break up till a very
late hour in the night.
Ope check is on the Bank of Annis
ton for $484, and the authorities have
been notified. The Messrs. Cothran
& Co. have offered a reward of SSO
for Ihe apprehension of the thief or
thieves and the return of their prop
erty.

1 TRIUMPH IN SMOKING.
A Ten Cent Smoke all for a Nickle— Brian I’s
Beet la the Latest,
Just think of it! A ten cent smoke
all tor a nickle.
A sumatre wrapper and Havanah filler
put up of the choicest tobacco selected
by an expert in experience and skill in
the business of cigar making.
G. J. Briant’s Best is the very latest
tiiumph in the art of cigar making and
G. J, Briant & Co., have just received an
invoice of five thousand put up especially
for them by Mr. J. E. Winfrey, the well
known manufacturer.
This cigar comes about as near filling
the bill completely as it is possible for it
to be done. Lovers of the fragrant weed
will find it first-class in every particular.
Mr. Briant carries out his principles of
patriotism and public spiritedness in thus
patronizing a home industry and at the
same time caters to the good taste of his
customers in furnishing them with the
very best class of goods that can be sold
at the very smallest margin of profit.
When you are passing Mr. Briant’s place
at the corner of Broad street and Second
avenue don’t fail to drop in and sample
one of these uew and first class cigars.
They certainly takes the cake; nothing
superior to them has ever been offered
for sale at five cents in Rome and you
cannot fail to be delighted with Briant’s
Best if you know anything at all about a
first cliss cigar. He is going to make a
special run on them and the brand is
destined to prove a leading favorite
among the smokers of Rome.

The Atlant* Architect D’es at His Brother's
Home In Englard.
Mr. Arthur McC. Nixon, well known
in Atlanta as one of the prominent
architects of the city is dead. His
death occurred in South England on
the sth of the present month. A
letter containing this announcement
was received yesterday.
The letter came to Mr. Z. D, Har
rison, clerk of the supreme court, from
Rev. Howard Nixon, a brother of the
architects who is living at Dulwich,
England. The letter stated that Mr-
Nixon, the architect, bad been in fail
ing health ever since his arrival in
England, and having failed to receive
any benefit from the change of climate,
his death occurred on the sth. He
left Atlanta iu July.
Mr. Arthur Nixon came to Atlanta
from Texas at the suggestion of his
warm personal friend, Rev. Dr. Robert
S. Barrett. He was a citizen of Atlan
ta for nearly ten years, and during
that time designed some of the hand
somest buildings in the city, among
them the Grand opera house and the
residence of Mr. David H. Dougherty
on Peachtree street.
The beautiful new St. Peter’s church,
Rome, Ga., was designed by Mr. Nix
on. It was the unanimous selection
of the rector and vestry of five designs
by famous architects North and
South. Nr. Nixon and Rev. C. B.
Hudgins have for nine years been
warm personal friends. It was through
this friendship that Mr. Nixon donated
to St. Peter’s more than half of the
usual architect’s price for plans aud
specifications. By bis death the
church has lost a very useful and de
vout member. In the new church
building in course of erection and
others to be built his valuable counsel
and excellent, good taste will be great
ly missed throughout the Southland.
Thos. Fahy received yester
day a bigjcase .of elegant new
patterne in fancy dress good
