A BPRGLARIOUS BAND. *A COUNTRY STORE ROBBED AND A POST OFFICE ENTERED. of Them Jailed and the Where abouts of the Others Known-The Plunder Concealed Under a Grape vine—How it Was Recovered. Abe Gant and George Sams, two burly, villainous-looking negroes, were arrested yesterday morning by Detective Wether born, and committed to jail by Justice "Waring Russell, on the charge of robbing Benjamin Roth well’s store, at Station No. 1, on the Central railroad, early Sunday morning. Mr. Rotliwell is a storekeeper and postmaster, and ticket agent for the rail road there. Between 2 and 3 o’clock Sunday morning during a heavy rain, a party en tered his store, first breaking into the post office and then going into the store. They stole between SSO and $75 worth of clothing and provisions and rifled the drawere,search ing for money. Mr. Rothwell discovered the burglary early Sunday, and with a hired hand walked down the track to mile post 80. 7. TWO Of THEM CAUGHT. At the Pioneer brickyard they found traces of the robbers in the shape of empty paper boxes, remains of their early lun-sh. lie searched carefully but no further Itraoo could be found. Returning home Mr. Both well took the Shoo Fly tram into the city atwl laid the case before Air. Wether horn. He at once set out and made a care ful search throughout the city, and yester- Vlay morning made the arrest of jtwo men who, it is confidently {•relieved, belonged to the gang that com mitted the robbery. Taking a team and one of the prisoners, the officer drove out ebout three miles from the city and baited hn front of a little board cabin. •‘Have you got any store goods here/" asked Detective Wetherhorn of the old begro who ottiue to the door, at the same fcime covering Ids prisoner so be would not be seen. “No, saU,” answered the old fellow. “You haven't, cb| We’ll see about that,” said the officer, leaping to the ground. IIKN'IIATU TnE GRAPE VISES. When he saw the handcuffs on the man In the wagon the old fellow wilted, and with u "Good Luwd, boss, henh de is," he con sented lo show tlie goods. Leading the way rt/O a big stump that w*w vered by a tin iv Sag grape vine, he pulled one side of it up, {and there was found a good portion of the stolen goods, consisting of shoes, calico, etc. AV hen !**.. i_.it before the justice, one of tho men had on sr-vm, pants and vest that Mr. Rothwed Ailiued was part of tin 'plun der. Resides being committed to answer the charge a* ro.ibvry, Mr Rothwell com plained of them bei we United States Com missioner Beckett, who iss .pit warrants for their arrest on n charge of felony in break- Stag into a United S.ates post office. Com missioner Beckett will hold an examination of the prisoners in the United States court room to-day. There c.o others implicated in the rob bery, and it is s;:;.|K.si Umt there were live who broke mb. tno store. ANOTHER HIRD CAUGHT. It is lielieved that one ot them was caught in the afternoon, though it is not liaown whether he was one of the party or not. Isaac Nathans, constable at Justice Mief'.all's office, was standing on the side walk near his office when a colored man pulled his sleeve, aiul excitedly said: “Dar lon, dnr s dat niggali what Muster Wether horn wante,” pointing to a young, middle eized liov, who was standing near by. Mr. Nathans seiz'd him and seiit word for Mr. Wetherhorn, who soon responded. The boy had on a pair of new •hoes, a pair ♦ blue jeans pants under his old ones, and two shirts on, the under one a white one. The detective identified these as a part of the stolen property. The boy, who gave his name as John Kernel, said fie 1 ought the clothing for $2 .70 from one of tiie men who was arrested in the morning. His story was a contradictory one, and Jus tice Sl’.eftuil ocinmicted him to jail. Nothing was taken from the |>o<:t office or ticket office. A FIGHT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. A Baker and a Barkeeper Come to Blows—Both Placed Under Bond. S. lxmtz, a bartender, mid Charles Deahl graum, a baker at Ferst A Co.’s bakery, on the Bay, had a slight misunderstanding yes terday whio i resulted in blows. Lentz swore out a w at rant against his opponent in Justice SheftolVs office, charging him with assault and batte,’} He was committed and the Justice beid him in S3OO bail fer the higher court. While he was seeking a bondsman come in, tola- sure, proba bly, that due justice was meted out. His face expressed his satisfaction when he saw Pealiigraum was held for trial. The latter was not particularly well pleased to see I /Blitz there and so expressed himself, add ing that be (Lentzj had offered to settle for $lO. This excited Lentz, and he shouted out: •‘You say we offered to settle for ten dol lars/ You tell an lie. You are one big d— liar, you ,” hut here he was suddenly cheeked by bearing the Jus tice's sharp, decisive voice break in with “Stop that cursing. I will hold you on a peace warrunt for good behavior for the next twelve months, >-d shall require a bond of $200.” This .ampeped Lentz’s ardor greatly, more so as lie noted Deahlgrauin’s look of satisfaction. Both men were then bailed. At one time both were willing to settle and drop the warrant business, when they found that they were being entangled in the meshes of the law, but the Justice quickly iufortned them that it was too late for that business. Besides be had uo guarantee but t hat an other fight would ensue if they were re leased. BHE WOULD NOT GO HOME EARLY. Why Charles Loher Struck Hattie Ormond With a Rock. There was a negro bail at Empire Hall last night, and as Hattie Ormond left the ball ■with others of the dancers she was struck on the side of the head with a rock by Charles Loher, who stood close by her. The rock cut off n por tion of her car and would probably hare inflicted a dangerous wound had she been further from her assailant., but .‘•he was standing so close to him that, though the stone was thrown with great force, 4, did not gather much momentum. Hhe com plained to toe jsilico nliout tho affair, and when asked if she knew the reason for the awn ult sin- replied that she lived in the house of Loiters mother tmd Charlie was angry with her because she did not go home earlier, but she added that 1 ho was nothing to her and had no right to r>r< ler her to go home early. The police went out to hunt up Loher, nut had not found him at it o’clock this morning. Sir Knights to Parado. PuOueselin Division No. 1 and Teutonia No. S, U.

A DISAPPOINTED BRIDEGROOM He Could Not Get a Marriage License Because He Hadn’t the Money. “I* dis yere de office fur to git de mar riage license, I s’posei’’ asked an aged and bent old uncle as he hobbled in to the Or dinary’s office yesterday. Deputy Clerk Keilbaeh informed the old man that it was, and he shook his grizzly head as he ejacu lated again, “I s’pose.’’’ “Well, I want to deliver my complaint to you,” he contin ued, “You see I never was yere befo’. My fust wife, uvhat I had befo’ freedom, she died an’ I does want to git ernother mighty bad. You see I got cripple on de railroad comp'ny, bnt I got cripple m sich a wav dat they didn’ gin mo nothing, but they said as they would let mo go ter work wdien I git well so’s ter hep me dong.

He lin gered there a moment, as if expecting to bo culled back, but ho waited in vain, and af ter awhile be departed sadly. WEATHER GOSSIP Stationary Temperature for This Sec tion—A Warm Wave in the North The maximum temperature yesterday was 82’ and the average 74”, 5* below the nor mal. Savannah was the coolest place in this district, all the stations reporting low temperature. Texas had the highest tem perature in the country, the aver age maximum temperature reported from nineteen stations being 90". The Wilmington district, eleven stations, reported an average maximum of 7tT, the coolest places in the cotton region. The 1U p. in. reports gave the Rio Grande valley a temperature of 84’, which was the highest reported. Washington, D. C., and Port land Me., both reported the low tempera ture of 58’ Excepting the Rio Grande val ley ail the reports showed a nearly station ary temperature. The temperature was rising in the Northwest and the indications were for a slight rise in the mercury here. Light rains are reported in the cotton re gion, the Galveston and Wilmington dis tricts reporting the heaviest rain fall. The only station in this district to report rain was Waycross, where .02 inches fell At 10 p. ni. rain was reported in the Missouri val ley. the Western Gull States and Florida. The barometer was the highest over the lower lake regions, and lowest in the ex treme Northwest, where a decided area of low pressure has made its appearance. This will move eastward over the lake region and the St. Lawrence valley, probably, causing high winds and rains. The indications for Georgia aro for fair weather, variable winds, generally easterly, slightly warmer in the northern portion and a stationary temperature in the southern. IN THE MAYOR’S COURT. A Big Docket and a Number of Cases Disposed Of. The Mayor had a full court room await iug him when he appeared yesterday morn ing, the docket recording twenty-five cases. The tines for drunkenness and disorderly conduct amounted to $77, and the alterna tives were varied. Kittie Lawler was fined $35 for being disorderly in her house, and 8. J. Nathans paid sls for being party to the disorder. John Robinson (colored) was turned over to the City Court to be tried for stealing a pair of shoes from Basch’s store. William Outhbert and Janies Wilson, two negro boys, were charged with being sus picious characters, aud the Mayor ordered that they be well whipped by their parents in the presence of a policeman. James Cal loway and Ed AYylly were held for the City Court on the charge of stealing checks from laborers on the Ocean steamship wharves. The larceny case against Grantus Hamilton was continued. A Savannahian’s Woea. The Rome (Ga.) liulletin says: “A cer tain young man arrived in the city yester day from Savannah, Ga., to visit a certain young lady. While he was quietly waiting for her to make her appearance another young gentleman sont up his card and that of his friend’s who desired to meet her sister. They were informed that the young ladies would lie delighted to see them". They pro ceeded at once to the parlor and there met the girls and immediately took possession of them, and when supper was an nounced carried them down to sup per with the Savannah man follow ing on behind. They so arranged them selves at the table ns to bar him from sit ting near the girls. Some two hours after supper ofie of the young gentlemen found out that the Savannah young man had come all the way to see the young lady and then lie colled him aside and commenced to apologize for intruding on him. “No in trusion,” responded the Savatmab young man; “no intrusion.” We do say that this Savannah young man was very kind when he can open his heart and say “No intru sion,” after being kept from renewing his vows to his noble loved one once more.” Telegraphing Their Sympathy. Mr. O’Connell, the acting manager of Altmayer & Co.'s house in this city, re reived from the firm in New York, a tele gram expressing its sympathy for the widow of Harry Brown, who was killed in the store on Saturday. It instructed Mr. O’Connell to ]>uy the funeral expenses, and to render to the widow all the assistance that was necessary. Mr. L. Adler, the manager, now tn New York, telegraphed his regret that so faithful a man ns Brown should have met with sowtd an accident. Thu Pistons Did Not Fit. The big pump at the water works has not yet been started, but Superintendent Miller says it will bo ready for work this evening. When ho attempted to put in tiie pistons, he fouud that they were too large for the cylinders, and they had to bo sent into the city to be turned dowu. This caused a delay of twenty-four hours, for, if they had fit. the pumps would have been at work by this time. ’Buchu-Palba."

There is great activity in railroad circles throughout East Tennessee. The Atchison people deny that they are ready as yet to go into San Francisco. The capital stock of one of the Chicago street, railways is valued at S7OO for each SIOO share. London seems now to be taking a hand in the disposition of tho Balt more and Ohio railroad. Next! The Pennsylvania railroad people have for the present abandoned further action In the matter of elevating tlieir tracks in Jer sey City. The Canadian Pacific railway is making u bold push for business. It is said that the company proposes soon to put on anew and powerful steamer between Portland and Vancouver, which means anew route be tween the Columbia river and the East., especially New York, Boston and Chicago. The Denver and Rio Grande road has commenced the sale of thousand-mile tick ets over its system at $35 each, or 3 a mile, and it is stated that the Union Pacific and Burlington will soon take similar action. This will be a considerable decrease over the average passenger rates in that State, aud will tend materially to increase travel. Judge Peeples, agent for the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, now in course of construction between Macon and Valdosta, Ga., and projected thence via Lake City to Gainesville and Palatka, was in Lake City on Monday and gave encour aging accounts of the enterprise. The road will be completed to Valdosta, he said, by Fell. 1 next, large forces of hand; now being engaged in the work upon it. Work upon the Florida division will then begin and will be rapidly pushed to completion. He is now taking subscription and securing right of way, and said the engineer will shortly follow for the purpose of inspecting the route and making a permanent loention. Capt. John C. Printup, President of the Rome and Decatur railroad, was asked Sat urday if the failure of Grovesteen & Pell would have any effect on his road. In an swer to the question he stated that this firm were the contractors of the road, and further than a little deluy caused by the straighten ing of accounts lie tween their assignee and the road, the Rome and Decatur will not be inconvenienced in its building. He said the company did not owe SSOO, and that the road will certainly be built and put in first class running order. Thirty-one miles of this road is finished, and there is not but three miles of grading to be done. Tbe cross-ties have been bought and are on the ground, as are also ten miles of rails. The railways in Texas have to foot enor mous bills for live stock killed by their trains on the unfenced plains of that great country. The Dallas News reports the stock train agent of the Texas Pacific as saying that during the last year 3,075 head of animals were run over and killed on that road, and that the company paid for dead stock in that year about $30,000. “At this rate,” remarks the Railway Age, “it would evidently be much cheaper for the railway to fence its hundreds of miles of line in that State than to pay for killing cattle, es peciaily in view of tiie well-known fact in natural history that the laced, beauty and value generally of an animal improve enormously after it is slain by the locomo tive.” Charleston Mention. The lightship from Rattlesnake Shoals, which is now lying at I’reguall’s wharf for repairs, was struck by lightning during the thunder and rain storm oil Saturday after noon. The lightning struck the top of the sheer poles, which had been set up for the purpose of taking down the mast, and shat ters them into pieces, scattering the chips some distance around. The fiery current then ran down to the deck, and passing over to the wharf, enveloped a lot of pig iron there in flame. It alto played with alarm ing brilliancy about the machinery on Brotherhood’s monster phosphate dredge, which was fastened to the wharf, but did no damage beyond the destruction of the sheer poles. Mr. AVilliam L. Miller has at his office in Gillon street two immense iron shells, said to be the first two shots fired at Battery AVagener during the late unpleasantness. The shells are both intact, never having ex ploded, and weigh 300 pounds onch. They came into the possession of Mr. Miller at the rime of tiie MeLeish sale. Mr. McLeish, it is said, bought them as relics, and paid round surn for them. It is a fact, not gen erally known, perhaps, that hundreds of old mortal's and shells picked up in the .shallow creeks around Morris Island and other places in the lutrbor, are being shipped as old iron to the North, there to Tie converted into implements of a more profitable anil peaceful diameter.

What a Furniture Man Says of Babies That Are Rocked. f'rorn the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. A young father entered one of the furni ture stores in the city yesterday, and asked to see a cradle. While one member of the firm went off to wait on the customer, tile other member said to the Telegraph: “Do you know that it will not be long before cradles will not be kept in stock at all/'’ The Telegraph had not kept up with the times m this particular, and asked the rea son. “The cradle is fast getting to be a thing of the jiast. a relic of baby by-gone days, as it were. Physicians have discovered that the constant rocking of a baby in a cradle addles the brain, and to this is attributed the weakminded of tliis and proceeding gen erations. The minds of the children are af fected, because of the rocking motion, and they grow up either idiots or cranks. You now see why thoro are more cranks than ever lief ore in tho world’s history. Then there is another reason why tiie cradle should go. Look around over the house holds of the country and see the weak, sick ly mothers. This comes of rocking the cradle. It has been clearly demonstrated that running a sewing machine is not near so laborious or injurious to the women of this country as rocking a cradle.” “How are tbe born journalists and prob able Presidents te> be coaxed to cease squall ing and put to sleep!” "The straight bed takes the place of the cradle. Rocking doesn’t stop a child from squalling, neither does it put it to sleep. That’s a delusion mothers have been hug ging to their bosoms for years, even centu ries. Babies sleep more than grown people, and if they don’t sleep they are sick. A well and hearty babe can be laid down upon a couch as hard as a boarding house lied, and, if sleepy, will drop right off to sleep, without any rocking whatever. How many times have you seen mothers rock a baby for an hour or longer, and yet hear the child squall nearly all that time: It would not have squalled near so long if laid com fortably upon a rockerless bed, and the poor mother would not have been tired out push ing a cradle to and fro.” ‘‘Then the cradle must go, you think?” “Yas, and with it all those baby-searing songs no more will bo heard, ’Baby Mine,’ ‘Baby’s Got a Tooth,” and all those songs which accompany the rocking of the cradle. You will never hear again: Yocker hye babv inner t ee top. AVhenner win’ b’ows c'adle ill yock, Whenner bough b'akes. c’adle ill fall, Down’ll turn baby, c'adle an' all— because all such songs keep a baby awake, instead of patting it to sleep.” "Then you would blot out the sweet pic ture of tne fond mother bending over the cradle containing her first born, softly crooning or singing her tender iullaby, as she watches the little smiles and unconscious laughs chase the ripples over the beautiful dimples; you would tear away the drapery that bangs over the little cradle, and the silk quilts upon which the mother's fingers have worked for so long, and you would do all this for a doctor’s opinion!” “No, no, my boy, not for a doctor’s opin ion, but, you see, there is no money in cra dles. See that elegant antique oak crib there? We make more profit on that one crib than we would on a dozen cradles.” Local Personal. Mr. A. Y. Richmond went to Gainesville last night via the Central.

After An Absence of Twelve Years He Gladdens the Hearts of Relatives. From the BarnerviUe ( Oa .) Democrat. VVV know that a generous public will in dulge us iu the privilege of relating an inci dent of peculiar pleasure to us, though in reference to a kinsman. The romantic facte connected therewith may not prove entirely devoid of public interest. Twelve years ago an only brother, an ac tive, jovial young man, about grown, left for the West. He had resided with us near this place, and then at the Rock, whore the Senial, warm-hearted boy had made many evoted friends. For a year he had been in Heard county, whence lie departed for the Wort. Under some strange infatuation he neg lected to write to relatives. After this neg lect for years, it wa* difficult for him to decide to communicate. We had long since decided upon the probability of his death. The warm-hearted and only brother, the bright-eyed, happy child, whose cheerful face had ever shed rays of sunshine around the paternal hearthstone, ho who was al ways the idol of that home, where fondest recollections still linger, was believed to be dead in all probability. In sadness, his name was rarely ever mentioned. Some two weeks ago it was mentioned, however— at twilight, when nature herself typifies the peacefulness of home. Then, perhaps while the absent one debated his return, we spoke of his long, long absence. As usual, the probability that we would never hear of him again was agreed on—not without hope. A friend, to him unknown, kindly suggested that he would “turn up some dav.” Last week a stranger called at our office. With gentlemanly demeanor he neglected to introduce himself, but waited for recog nition. The test was unfair. The dust of travel, the enforced rigidness of a face of more than ordinary cheerfulness, the entire absence of any reason to think of him, con cealed the identity of a brother. Finally, upon disclosing his name, his every feature was readily recognized, though the climate of Arkansas had changed his complexion, and time had developed the boy into a man. It would be a fruitless task to describe the joy of an only brother’s return after so long a time and under these circumstances. Our pleasure is not limited by these facte. The bright and happy child, the gonial and popu lar young man, is now an earnest and de vout man. Following the bent of his na ture, the purer impulses of a heart touched with love for his fellows, his life is devoted to the ministry. For three years he has L>een a member of the conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, and in active ministerial service. We are satisfied that his nature will find more contentment and accomplish more good in this than in any other life work, and sincerely trust that he may ever be faithful. For nine years he has been married To know that in a distant land, away from friends and kindred, he has found a good and true woman, whose love, has only been a perpetual blessing to him, that he has found there friends indeed, mothers and fathers, who have nursed him in sickness, loved and befriended him—these facts will ever warm our heart toward Arkansas. The gratitude we owe to his friends and loved ones there is unbounded. May the angels of peace ever dispense the brightest blessings of this life in the homes of those who have so kindly received a stranger, a devoted and a true brother. WONDERFUL INDEED. A Colored Woman Gives Birth to Six Children Within Twelve Months. From the Augusta Chronicle. Augusta contains within her boundaries one of the most remarkable women in the State. She is Nancy Barr, the wife of God frey Barr, and lives at the cornerof Walker and East Boundary streets. Nancy is but 30 years of age, but has performed the wonderful record of giving birth to six children within a year. Three boys were born last October, all of them dying, how ever, and, late Friday, two boys and a girl were delivered, thus reaching an even half dozen iu ten months. Of the last three, but one male child survives, much to the regret of the mother. This makes the total num ber of her children, so far, dead and alive, fourteen. Another peculiar case was heard men tioned on the streets Saturday. Very re cently, near Robbin station, S. C., a little white child was born with its entrails grow ing. seemingly, to the exterior surface of the stomach. It is a veritable freak of na ture, and was witnessed by many people. At last accounts the child was still alive, and doing well. Decatur to Burn. From the Decatur (Ga.) Chronicle. Some crank or fool has written a card to the editor of the Chronicle, saying that on Sept.. 1, which is Thursday of next week, Decatur is going to be consigned to the flames. While wo think there is nothing at all in it, yet it will not be a had idea for all of our citizens to scrub their old guns and pistols, and be ready to make mincemeat of aniy person or persons who might attempt "to fire a building. If a sane person weregoing to at tempt such a thing he would not inform any one of his intentions, and if a crank feels it his religious duty he will be captured before any damage can be done. The card reads more like it was from the pen of a crank than a sane person. Here it is, verbatim: "Mr. Editor, please notify the good people of Decatur that the court house and most of the Dwellings in the town of deratur will be burned to the ground September 1, 1887, mark what I saj’. my wonts will coine true, and I feu re there will be lives lost on that awful day. prepare to meet the worst.
