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.

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. Extraordinary Fecundity.

Hr Tam Ruvln? lUlll* or iirAkftit Hupon 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 lowing is a summary: Charleston 0 0 0 0 7 0 2 0 0— 9 Mumpnis 00100000 3-4 Base hits —Charleston 17, Memphis 11. Errors- Charleston 1, Memphis 4. Earned runs—Cnarleston 5, Memphis t.

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.
