BOLD BURGLARS.
A Trio of Robberies Monday Morning -
A Remarkable Premonition.
“Look ont, Robert, for your money to
night, and see that, daughter has her dia
monds safely locked up,” were the parting
good night words of Mr. Robert 31. Butler’s
father Sunday night. Mr. Butler laughed
good naturedly at the warning, at
the time, but yesterday morning when
he awoke and found his shirt, vest,
pants and other vestments on the floor he
rememliered the warning at once. Mr.
Butler was seen yesterday and gave the fol
lowing statement: He usually sat up with
his father till ‘J o’clock, and Sunday night
las he said ‘‘good night” liis father warned
him, saying he felt sure a robbery was to
hap|>en. He laughed at it and
went ups tail's to his bedroom.
He flirt not retire for an hour
or so and then lie could not sleep, nor could
' his wife. At about 2 o’clock Monday morn
! ing, he thinks, they both fell asleep. On
awakening in the morning he noticed that
his garments were on tho floor, with the
turned pockets a conspicuous feature. He
arose at once and found that he was out u
good pocketbook and 847 in cash.
An examination led to the con
clusion that a 'burglar or burglars,
climbed to the piazza by means of flower
trellis. At the end of tlie piazza is a Uikji
leading into the sitting room. This w as un
fastened, as Mr. Butler recolloots he omitted
locking it Sunday night. Entering this the
intruder went through into the parlor,
crossed it diagonally, knocking down a
piano stool and emerged into the hall. He
then went up stairs and leisurely examined
Mr. Butler’s clothing, though it lay within
five feet of his head. Taking the
pocket book he retraced his steps, probably
frightened off in some manner, and entered
the (lining room. Here he coolly examined
his liooty, as a pajstr from the pocketbook
was found on the table. Tho refrigerator
was then opened, and the impudent thief
took out the mill: pitcher, and placing three
goblets on the table, filled them up. Two of
them were drained, and the other
was half emptied. A large box of
silver-ware was lying near, as the
girl had forgotten to take it up stairs that
night, but this, ns well us other valuable
objects were left untouched, tho thief going
off seemingly satisfied with his money haul.
He loft all tne doors of the different rooms
which he entered, wide open, and on leaving
left tho front door and gate open. Mr.
Butler says he is greatly obliged to him, or
them, for their kindness in leaving so much
but thinks lie will see they don’t have
another chunce to discriminate in his favor.
His father spoke to him Friday, and said ho
thought the bouse was being spotted, as a
very suspieiom-1 Miking man loitered ;ir >ut> <
all day, and Saturday’ he was seen, too.
But Sunday, though Mr. Butler watched
carefully, no trace of the man was obtained.
Mr. Butler’s residence is on the corner of
Hall and Dravton streets.
Mr. Malcolm Mac Leon’s residence, cor
ner Gwdnnett and Drayton streets,
was entered about half an hour later,
at 2:45 o’clock. Here the upper
piazza was scaled and the entry made
direct to the bedrooms. A chair was over
turned, which woke up Mrs. Mac Leon, and
she roused hek husband at once. He in
stantly arose vmd started to investigate,
but he was too late, as the burglar rushed
down the front stairs, unlocked the door,
jumped out, relooked the door on the out
side, and was off like a flash. Some
|fi was secured here, as the fellow
was frightened off before he had got fairly
to work.
Mr. F. D. Bloodworth, of W. W. Gordon
&Cos., living on Bolton street, between
Abereorn and Drayton streets, had a visit
from one of the gang, but the lighting of a
match aroused someone in the house and
tho noise scared the fellow, who hastily
scrambled down from a shed that
he had climbed upon to force a
window into the house. He, too,
was off before any pursuit
could be made. It seems as if there was a
regular gang in that section and the resi
dents say they propose using shotguns and
other home dereudei's. Suspicious eharac
ters have been seen there for the last week
or so, but nothing was thought of the mat
ter. Now, people of that locality propose
looking out for all shady characters.

! THE FATE OF A SOUTH CAROLINA
GIRL WHO WEDDED A TITLE.
She Becomes tho Wife of an Italian
Count and After a Long Course of
Brutality Is Shut Up in an Italian
Mad House—Her Rescue and Death.
Spcdal Correspondence of the Sew York Star.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 7. —The Count
ess Alexina Leonetti, who died here a few
days ago, was before marriage a Miss
Alexina Chisholm, a favorite daughter in
one of the wealthiest and most distinguished
families of South Carolina. She was bril
liantly educated, handsome, and possessed of
a voice of phenomenal beauty.
After the close of the war she went abroad
with her father, and while traveling on the
Continent made the acquaintance of Count
Leonetti, who, os tho sequel show's, proved
to be a meffc adventurer of tho most de
praved Italian type. Putting his empty
title and pretensions against her American
gold, he so far succeeded in ingratiating
himself in the affections of the attractive
young lady as to win her hand. In less than
a year she liecaine the Countess Leonetti,
and the occupant of a palace in Florence.
For a time everything went well with her,
but finally the passionate lover unveiled his
true character, and Alexina found herself
deserted for the gambling salon and the
demi-monde. Heavy drafts were made
upon her purse for his support amid these
dissipations, and the good-natured father
humored the belief that after awhilethegay
Italian would sow his wild oats and settle
down to a more quiet life. But he was mis
taken. The more tho Count received, the
more he demanded.
One day, on returning homo, the Countess
found installed in her place a woman w’ho
had officiated as her maid. This was t<x>
much for a proud nature to endure, and the
Countess, taking such of her jewels as her
husband had not pawned or sold, returned
to Charleston with her father.
The Count now played another role. He
pretended penitence and reformation. He
wrote liesee-hing letters to the effect that
his father’s death had secured to him prop
erty that before he had been unable to
touch. In short, he wanted her to come
back to her Italian home and be once more
happy.
VV omanlike, she yielded and rejoined her
husband, leaving her father in America.
But it was only to be once more disap
pointed. She found that her plaeo was
virtually filled by the French maid, who
was nominally retained in the capacity of
hair dresser to tho Countess. Meanwhile
the drafts upon her exchequer continued
until the domaftd liecame simply exorbitant.
One morning while arranging th ■> hair of
the Countess the maid brought her a cup of
coffee. It was drank and in a few minutes
violent spasms occurred. A physician was
summoned, and after questioning the
patient, nskisl for the cup for the purpose of
examining its contents. The maid declared
that they had been thrown away, and at
the same time offered her a glass of wine.
“Take it away—nothing more from you,”
said the Countess. “I have been poisoned,
doctor, in my own house.”
“Poisonedin the palace of a Leonetti!
One of the oldest bouses in Florence! Im
possible, madaino!’'
“Oh, doctor!” she cried, “save mo!”—but
before she could finish the sentence she be
eame delirious, and for days remained in an
unconscious state.
When reason returned she found herself
in a strange place, surrounded by strange
looking and acting people. It was a lunatic
asylum, to which she had been conveyed by
orders of the Count, with instructions that
she should not be allowed to communicate
by sign, won! or writing with any person
outside of the institution. In Italy a hus
band’s control over the wife is absolute,
and consequently his instructions were car
ried out to the letter.
One day, however, the Countess managed
to have a letter conveyed to t.he American
Consul, in which she begged him to come to
the asylum. He did so, but was refused ad
mittance. During this incarceration the
Count was drawing upon her father in
Charleston, under the pretense that she per
sonally required the money in order to meet
the heavy charges of the institution to
which she had voluntarily retired for treat
ment. These drafts were duly honored, un
til at last, the suspicions of Mr. Chisholm
being aroused, he himself communicated
with the American Charge d’Affairs in
Florence, requesting him to make an in
vestigation of the circumstances. Tho lat
ter did so, but it was only by tho exercise of
his official authority ttiat he was enabled to
obtain a personal interview with the Count
ess, when he learned the facts, which de
termined him to take stops for her immedi
ate release.
After much trouble the lntter was secured,
and, shattered in health and broken in
spirit, she was sent back to America, ac
companied by a female compan oi. The
father, who was also in feeble health, met
her on her arrival, but the meeting was a
terrible one. The daughter, with whom he
had parted in the bloom of youth, had re
turned to his arms a mental and physical
wreck. Tlie brown, luxuriant hair had
turned to gray, the graceful figure had last
its rounded outlines, and the brilliant mind
was almost a blank. It was hoped that tlie
change of scene and the revival of old as
six-iatos would accomplish a cure, but in
this hor friends were destined to bo disap
pointed. The death of her father a few
weeks later only served to increase the bur
den she had already borne, aud practically
she retired from the world, denying herself
in her melancholy even to her old servants.
Now and then her beautiful voice could
be heard ringing out in the quiet stillness of
tho night, aud guests of the hotel iu which
she resided would gather around her door
and marvel, for the sad story was known to
but few. Kotbe weeks and months pas.' I by.
Last week all that was mortal of A’exitin,
the Countess Leonetti. was consigned to the
grave, and tears fell from the eyes of many
a friend who but a little while ago envied
her in the ownership of a proud title that
had cost a life.
Queer Theft from a Mint.
f'rom the San Francisco Bulletin.
Paul Ruliliug was held to answer before
tho United States grand jury recently by
Commissioner Sawvor in #1,01)0 bail, aiid in
default was locked up in the county jail.
The man hails from Kail Jose, and he was
arrested for passing counterfeit #1 pieces in
a saloon. The man visited the mint be
twneu 12 and 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon
uml inquired for Superintendent Lawton.
He passed ail hour or more iu the reception
room, where old coins are kept for in
spection of visitors. At a late hours it
was discovered that a case contain
ing sixty-two American dollars of the
coinages ranging from 17111 to 1877,
belonging to the California Pioneers, had
been broken open and twenty-one of the i ’ofiar
pieces stolen. Upon learning of the arrest
of Ruhling, Chief Clerk Hirshborg visited
the city prison and recognized the ancient
dollar- found uixm the person of Ruhling as
a portion of the missing set. Seventeen of
the abstracted coins have Ixxm recovered,
but four are still missing. There is a differ
ence of opinion as to whether two of the
dollars are counterfeits or not. It is also a
question whether the government or the
Pioneer Society will suffer by the lon, as the
hitter left the ease at (he mint lor safe keep
ing, and the officers had no authority front
the government to receive the same. The
value of the #ll2 has been placed as high iis
#1,400. One of the coins is said to be ex
tremely rare.

BLACK TERRIBLY BATTED.
Charleston Wins Her Eleventh
Straight Game at Home.
Charleston, S. C., Sept 12.—Charleston
batted Bobbie Black out of the box to-day,
and won her eleventh straight game at
home and third straight from Memphis.
There was no kicking against the umpire,
whose decisions afforded no opportunity to
kick, even to the Memphis team. For four
innings tho visitors kept the locals down to
zero, while they themselves got one run.
In the fifth inning, however, the locals
found Black’s delivery, anil got up a picnic
around the bases. In”that one inning they
pounded him for foul' singles, three doubles,
and two phantoms, and chalked up seven
runs, three of which were made by errors of
McKeough behind the bat. Black lost con
trol of the ball entirely, and McKeough, who
caught him, threw Wildly to first. In the
eighth inning Charleston again pounded
Black to pieces. The visitors, who were
evidently rattled, rallied in the ninth and
succeeded in getting in three runs, but the
spurt came too late. Huiigler, who pitched
for Charleston, recovered himself and soon
sent Memphis beaten from the field. Fol

Birmingham Clearly Outbatted and
Outfl elded.
New Orleans, Sept. 12.—Long John
Ewing returned to the field to-day, and
Pujol resumed his place in centre. They
were the life of the nine, and helped on to
victory. Kelly was hit hard this time, and
only wonderful fielding prevented a crush
ing defeat. The outfielders did neat work,
and Burks and Hayes marie marvelous
stops. New Orleans got in enough safe
hits, however to overcome this, and rattled
the visitors in the sixth. Besides Clinton is
sick, and Stalling played left, while Snyder,
who is suffering from malaria, had to catch
agnin. The crowd guyed him for what
seemed like the acme of laziness. The score

IMPORTED PIANOS^
The latter part of July last our Mr. S. selected
samples of different styles of Pianos made by E.
Roseukranz, at Dresden, Germany. They ar
rived in Savannah the 22d of August. The in
struments were so much admired for their beau
tiful tone and elegant case.) to find purchasers
within a week after their arrival, and still we
have persons asking to sec them. We have
cabled on the 26th ult. and again on the Bth and
'.it h inst. for anew and larger supply and expect
them by the next European steamer at New'
York “in bond for Savannah."
A well known lady teacher remarked to one
of the purchasers: “If Mr. S. can sell such beau
tiful instruments at such a low- price he will
supersede all others .”
