CRACKSMEN ON THE ROUNDS.
Fret well & Nichols' Printing and Sta
t.onery House Roobed.
The cracksmen who seem just now to be
doing Savaiffian continued operations Mon
day night at Kretwoll & Nichols’ stationery
store, on Bay street. Mr. J G. Pournell. a
clerk, usually opens the store in the morn
ing. and when he started to open up yester
day morning he found the street door of a
stairway adjoining the front door of the
store open. The stairway leads up into the
printing establishment, which is just over
the 'tore. When he entered the store the con
fused appearance of things at once sug
gested burglars. The cash drawer was cap
sized upon the counter ami articles which
usually he in the most artistic arrangement
within the show cases were scatter.-! about
promiscuously. Investigation disclosed the
fact that the place had been burglarized.
The cash drawer was rifled, but n- t of
any considerable amount, os very littie is
usually left in it overnight, but the show
cases were robbed of every gold pen they
contained, amt th cutlery department of
every pocket-knife. The drawers of the
de-k in the business office were worked open
and ransack.si, but nothing but a few dol
lars’worth of postal cards was ta'.en. A
highly-prized gold |>en which Mr. Fretwell
has used for many years was taken from
hi- desk. These are the onlv articles miss,si
so far, and it is probable that they are all
that the burglar got.
It is thought that the thief concealed him
self on the -tairway when the store was
closed Monday night. It was an easy mat
ter to get into the printing office and from
there, through the elevator, into the store
below. In this way the entiance and exit
Detectives are working up the
case.
THE CENTRAL INTERESTED.
Its Probable Subscription to the New
Hotel Scheme.
At the meeting of the directors of the
Central railroad on Monday the matter of
subscribing to the stock of the new hotel
was presented and was favorably considered.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Hwann
and Lehman, was appointed to consider the
matter and reqiort to a meeting of
the board to be held in New
York. Last night Mr. H. M. Comer and
and Capt. IV. \v. Gordon had nu interview
with Messrs. Swann and I*-hman at the
Screven House. The committee expressed
itself very well pleased with the idea of
Havannah's having anew hotel and also
thought it would lie beneficial to the rail
roads as well as to the city. They said that
the Central will undoubtedly aid the enter
prise, but to what extent they were not
prepared to say. Mr. Swann said
that the companv would doubtless take
a sufficient amount of stock to cover the
freight bills in material coming over its
lines or those of the Ocean Steamship Com-
Hotel Committee urged a sub
scription of $50,000, but could not .secure a
definite pledge from the Central's represen
tatives. it is thought that the company
will take about $25,000 in stock.

THE G. A R.’S GROWTH.
W S. Hancock Post’s Increase in Mem
bership Last Year
The Grand Army of tbe Republic is rap
idly growing ill the South. W. S. Hancock
Post, of Savannah, increased its mein tier
ship just 100 per cent, last year. The Post
will me.-ton Jan. 11 to install officers. The
Department Commander of the department
of Tennessee and Georgia, lias offered a flag
to the post whose muster rolls show the
largest increase in members during the last
quarter of 1887. W. S. Hancock Post
entered the contest, and although
the award lms uot yet been made, it is not
unlikely that the flag will come to Savan
nah. Commander T. F. Gleason has re
ceived the journal of the National Encamp
ment at St. Louts last fall, and it gives somo
remarkable statistics in regard to tlio
growth of the organization. The depart
ment of Tennessee and Georgia at that time
reported fifty s.x (tost* and 1.334 comrades.
Since then there has lieen a con.sinerable in
crease in momliership.

recommendation to mercy, was given.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 4. 1888.
THE WEIBBEIN FAILURE.
Creditors Getting Hold of All the
Property They Can.
There wa* practically no change yester
day in the Weisbeiu wreck. A nnmher of
those who had issued attachment were dis
posed to contest the legality of the sale of
the large lot of goods bought of Mr. Lichten
stein by the repre-entatives of H. B. Claflin
& Cos and E. N. Jaffrev & Cos., and paid
for with the debt of Weisbein to those
firm*.
Mr. Leo Frank, of the collection depart
ment of H. B. Claflin & Cos., who reached
Savannah Saturday morning, -aid that bo
received notification from his house that
Weisbein’s paper went to protest in Now
York on last Tuesday, and that he came to
Savannah immediately and bought the
goods, as has lieen stated, regularly, after
carefully selecting and invoicing them. He
was compelled to give a forthcoming bond
for them yesterday, which be did, and re
moved the goods tei another building.
The other creditors, through the magis
trates and constables, are holding on to
whatever they can. An opinion was ex
pressed yesterday that enough will lie saved
from the wreck to greatly' relieve the home
creditors.
Mr. Weisliein left his family in Savannah,
and those intimate with them sav that they
are in a bail condition. It was suggested
that Mrs. Weisliein would probably apply
for exemption of personalty and in this way
secure something from the stock, but a<"
cording to the law she will not be able to
do this, as property must be paid for before
it can l>e thus exempted.
Nothing can be heard as to the wherea
bout* of Weisbein. Several dispatches have
been received for him and they were turned
over to bis power of attorney,’ Mr. Lichten
stein.
THE EARL OUT FOR A HUNT.
The Young Nobleman and His Chap
lain Try Their Hand at the Birds.
The Earl of Craven and his chaplain, the
Rev. Mr. Stavert, still tarry in Savannah,
and their faces are becoming familiar with
the habitues of the Pulaski House. They
spend most of their time in each other's
society. They took a hunt yesterday,
chaperoned by Charles Wescott, and though
they didn’t bring down much gamo, they
succeeded in whiling away several hours
pleasantly. The party drove to a hunting
field about 8 miles out of the city, but only
a few coveys of birds were started. Wescott
says that both the Earl and his chaplain are
good shots.
A little zest was given the occasion by a
sligh. accident. The Earl, seated in the
carriage, was exhibiting the intricacies of
his fowling-piece to a gaping countryman
when, just like any ordinary Uni tod States
of America shot-gun wheu carelessly han
dled, it went off. The driver n not on his
seat, and the horses started. The chaplain
leaped out, just as the second barrel went
off, and the horse* struck into a run. They
would have played havoc with the carriage
and it* o cupants had not Mr. Wescott
reached out and with one hand scotched a
wheel, which enabled the driver to catch up
and regain his seat and control of the ani -
mals.
The Washingtoi correspondent of the
Philadelphia ledger says that the Earl
“led his dignified ami scholarly tutor quite
a dance in the Capitol. He couldn't get
enough of 'society.' He went, everywhere
he was asked, and everywhere that Craven
went Stavert had to go. It looked rather
queer to see Sta vent's clerical figure among
the wallflowers at a dancing party, audit
probably was as queer to Stavert as it
looked. The incongruous combination was
not, however, of their own making. Craven
confided to a frien.t that- lie would have a
jollier time but for Stavert. and Stnver
confided to the same friend that he would
like travelling a good deni better if he had
no incumbrance.’’
THE ROSS GEORGE MATCH.
Tho Greek to Come Te-Day-Ross’
Medals and Belts.
The wrestling match between Duncan C.
Ros and Greek George at the Theatre Fri
day night is exciting a good deal of interest
in sportiug circles. The Greek will reach
here from Augusta to-day. Ross is keeping
quiet. His champion and about fifteen
different medals, won by him in
Various contests, were on exhibition
in Altmayer's show windows yesterday.
Ross says that whether he wins or loses with
the Greek, he is willing to match either
Muhler or the Frenchman the night follow
ing his match with George for any amount,
i'he box sheet for Friday night's match will
be opened to-morrow at Davis Bro.’s. There
will be no charge for reserved seats.
AT THE THEATRE.
I Downing as “Marc Antony”-Katie
Putnam To-Night.
Robert Downing closed his Savannah en
gagement last night with “Julius Casar.”
His “Marc Antony ’ is not equal to his
“Spartacus,” though it is a flue piece of
acting. He was enthusiastically received.
In fact, there are few actors who have been
accorded a more enthusiastic reception than
was Downing during his short engagement..
Katie Putnam To-Night.
To-night uttd to-morrow night Katie Put
nam will hold the boards. The announce
ment that site is to play “Erma the Elf.”
is enough Id crowd the Theatre. In Charles
ton she pi tyed to Ute largest house of the
season on Monday. “Erma" is an inter
mixture of high and low comedy, with a
melodramatic background, making it for
the theatre-loving public most attractive.
Miss Putnam, in her new role, the Charles
ton Sexes anil Courier says, is eminently
pains-taking and clever. In the sentimental
selections which fall to her she is far above
the reach of most of the sonbrettes. nu.l
throughout the play there is just enough
sunshine to soften and subdue the pathetic
and serious.
It is seven years since Miss Putnam played
to it Savannah audience, but everybody
knows her aud her w ide popularity w ill not
fail to draw a crowd. Her company, the
Charleston papers say, is one of unusual
strength and brilliancy. One of the incidents
of her engagement in Charleston was a
charming Spunish waltz, song and dance
which Miss Putnam gave with castauet ac
companiment, and her singing "Good-by to
My 1 leaf Old Southern Homer’
A Big Success
The Mendelssohn concert tickets are about
all taken by the subset-hers who will have
the importunity of selecting good seats to
morrow morning at Davis Bros. at 9 a. ni.
The list of subscribers in- hides the names of
the best people in Savannah among whom
are the admirers of goo-1 music.
Those who have not yet secured tickets
should get them today, and have them re
served to-morrow, as the box sheet will
open with every choice seat engaged. An
entertainment of rare good music, an
audience of refinement and culture and the
best dressed audience of the season will be
seen at these concerts.
Swedish Cabinet-Maker’s Luck.
Some men are born rich, some acquire
riches and others have riches thrust upon
them. I'o the latter fortunate class belongs
Mr, Charles A. Johnson, No. 375 W. Ohio

Manning’s Rise.
From the New York Sun.
‘ Dan Manning was a comp, on the Al
bany Argus when 1 held a case there forty
years ago,’’ said a Brooklyn typo while he
picked up his nonpareil yesterday. “Dan
was steady as the clock, but not as swift,
and stuck’qnietlv to his case, whether he
got fat takes or leans takes. He could read
every fist on manuscript as easily as if it
was reprint. Altera long tune he got into
the editor’s quarters, and worked up till we
set his manuscript as he had set other men’s.
We never lost sight of Dan when he got
nigh, and he never forgot us. He made
Governors and things, and at last he made a
President out of Uncle Grover, who used to
show up in Albany once in a while, but he
would nod all the same to the old boys of
the I rgus when he met them in the street.
I tell you the Albany comps, thought as
much -il Dan Manning as if hi.s name had
iieeti Benjamin Franklin, another old comp.,
whose statue you can see in Printing House
square. There i* a chance for you yet,
young fellows. ' And the Brooklyn type
setter pull<si away at his solid nonpareil.
Read the Death Roll
Which the bills of mortality of any large city

renal and vesical maladies, that is to say, those
that effect the kidneys or bladder, have a re
markable prntmnen -e We bad almost said
prepot*d-i-ar.ce. Bright's disease and ,liat>et,-s
in the chronic stage are rarely cured and
gravel, catarrh of tbe bladder and enuresis, slay
many. Yet at the outset, when the trouble
uicr-. v ancunts to inactivity of the organs in
volved ih<- danger may he nullified by tnat
pleasant renal tonic and diuretic. Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters which imparl* the requisite
amount of tone to the organs, without over ex
citing them and the use of which is convenient,
and involves no elaborate preparation. Dys
pepsia. a usual concomitant of renal com
plaints, and debility which they invariably
produce, arc remedied by it. So also are con
stipation, malarial, rheumatic and nervous ail
ments.

Ladies’ Footwear.
This week’s advertisement is specially de
voted to the gentler sex, and we have de
cided to niafk our gotxis still lower, so they
nay be in reach of all.
We pride ourselves on the particular fine
fitting qualities of our Hhoes, which we
claim is surpassed byjioue aud equaled by
few. Nothing looks so bad a* an lil-fittiug
Shoe, aud nothing is prettier than a foot en
cased in a mould-like form. Some think
that to get a perfect ill it is necessary to
buy an expensive article in the shoe line;
this is a grievous error, for we not only
guarantee a fit. hut can fit you just as per
fectly in a $3 50 or fS Shoe, as you '-an buy
iu any store for to or $6. Our Ladies me
dium grade Shoes have as fine workmen
employed lasting them as are usually put
on the very finest Shoes; consequently, by
buying our popular grades you can get
equally ns well-made aud fitted a Shoe from
us as any other store can give you for
double tho price.
We are still giving away a Bank of Can
dy to the purchasers of Children’s Shoes.

oring Department on the seeon 1 floor, in

Florence Heating Stoves.
We have lieen so busy with our holiday
trade that we have quite neglected our
Florence Heaters. We wish to explain that
they differ from most oil-heating stoves, as
they have a removable heatiug drum, and
the stove can be us**l for cooking purposes,
and will be useful both in summer ana win
ter. Again, the prices are lower. We have
certificates from well-known citizens in
dorsing our Jittle 83 Stove as sufficient to
heat a bath room comfortably. Our $3 75
Stove will do double the work, and our 85
Stove heads tho list for a first-class heating
aud cooking Stove. We have the agency
for these Stoves for Savannah and will he
|>loased to show them.
