THE SECOND DAY.
What The Teachers Did Yes
terday.
For many months the citizens of
Thomasville have been annoyed no
little by the depredations of burglars
ana petty thieves, ft has been the
opinion of HtEe officers that the work
was being done by persons who were
young in the busini
It looked very much like a gang of
small negro boys were making these
almost daily raids. In a majority of
the cases the stealing was done in the
day time and was confined Jaigely to
what could be easily , taken from the
kitchen or hallways while the ftunQy
were in other parts of the house.
Mr. David Brandon made a catch
yesterday that will in all probability
lead to the capture of the whole gang
and also restore much of the stolen
property to the rightful owners.
Mr. Brandon boards out, but
sleeps at bis home on Madison street.
The house is unoccupied all through
the day, he very rarely going there
after leaving in the morning until
bed-time. Yesterday, however, he
had occasion to go home when he
went to his dinner, and when he un
locked the front door he heard some
one in his room, and before he could
get there a negro girl came oat with a
basket on her arm in which were a
number of articles. Mr. Braudon
knocked the girl down with his um
brella, but in the meantime a seoond
girl rushed out of the room and made
her escape through the back door.
Mr. Brandon locked the first girl
that appeared up in a doset and
proceeded to change his clothing, for
which purpose ho had gone home,
intending to take the girl up town
with him as soon as he had finished.
The girl, however, commenced to
yell and claimed that she was smoths
ering. Mr. Brandon opened the
door of the closet, when the girl
rushed out of the closet and Jumping
through an open window made her
escape. Mr. Brandon, bare footed
and without coat, ve3t or hat,
started in pursuit. When he got
outside the girl was out of sight, but
looking down the street he saw tho
other one some distance away, and he
made after her. The rain was
pouring down in -torrents, but this
did not deter him, nor the girl, either,
for that matter. He finally caught
her, however, but not until after they
had had a rough and tumble fight
the street did he succeed in tying
her hands. Finally an officer arrived
and took the girl to the lock up.
Shortly afterwards, when Mr. Brans
don was coming down town, he saw
the girl that escaped from him in the
house, and he immediately gave chase,
but after running several blocks she
again made her escape.
The girls are sisters, the one in
jail being named Joe Powell and the
other Scrap Powell, They live with
their mother on Seixas street. A
search warrant was sworn out and
officer* Coyle and Blalock searched
their home. They expected to find
stolen goods, but they were totally
unprepared for what their search dis
closed. There was a great quantity
of crockery, fruit jars, etc., in the
pantry, while in the other room were
found silk dresses, satin dresses,
cashmere dresses, handkerchiefs,
ladies underwear, hats, towels, etc.,
would without end. There were at
least a dozen ladies’ hats, some of
them fine ones. The dresses were
not only .of fine material, but were
nicely made up anl handsomely
trimmed.
The beeket the girl had when
captured was found lo contain a
quantity of provisions which were
identified as having been stolen from
Mre. Harriet jSeward only a few home
before.
There ia no doubt but that these
girls have been doiDg a largo part of
the stealing that has taken place dur-
nig the past year, and Mayor Hop
kins has requested us to ask all par.
tics who have lost articles in this
manner recently to call and see him
at once, as he may be able to pat
them in possession of their property.
The mother of the girls, Tamer
Powell, skipped just as soon as the
news of the capture of her daughter
reached her —Daily T.-E. July 19.
There*was a very full attendance
of teachers at the combined Peabody
and County. Institute yesterday mom
ing and the cession was a most inter
esting one.
The Institute was opened at 9 s. m.
with State School Commissioner
Bradwell in the chair.'
Zhc nil of tpa&erg was called from
Thomas, Decatnr, Brooks and Col
quitt counties.
Some fine nraaic was Tendered by
Mary Hicks, of this city, and
doling the interval of the music,
Commissioner Bradwell caused each
teacher to be tnpplied witEa writing
pad, upon which to tale notes.
him. Head, of Miliedgevilte,- made
a very intonating talk on primary
methods, taking "The Little Child”
as the subject."^
Prof Moody lectured on “Gram
mar in Genera) and English Gram
mar in Particular,” and illustrated
hi« subject by means of a language
tree displayed npon tho blackboard.
He, also, gave a briei description of
tho hislorial events which contributed
to the formation of the English lan
guage.
.Prof. Lane, of Atlanta, was ibo
next speaker. Iu a clear and forcib'o
manner, he disoursed on "Geogra
phy," and laid the foundation ior
some.atlrative lectures on that sub
ject in the future.
After a recess of Sftecit minutes,
there was music by Miss Clifford
McLendon, after which Mrs. Bou
chelle'was allowed fifteen minuta' to
present the cause ol temperance.
Prof. Frederick, of Marshnlvillc,
occupied thirty minutes on* the sub
ject of Arithmetic, treating tho sub
ject in a general manner.
S’aie School Commissioner Brad-
well has made a most favorable im
pression upo'a our citizens a'nd with
all whom he has m:t. It is the opin
ion of every one that he is eminently
the right raaq in the right place. Capt.
Bradwell has met seme old as well as
new friends here. He was many years
ago a pupil ol Prof. John E. Baker,
president ol Yeung Female. College.
Prof. Baker, in his speech of welcome
ou Monday alluded to this fact and
added that with the lapse of time the
tables had turned, and now it was his
privilege and pleasure to be under
the instruction and direction of one
who ■ was formally a pupil ol his.
Capt. Bradwell Was also a school mate
ol Prof. A. Q. Moody, who is one of
the faculty of the institute. The reonion
of these old friends and companions
was doubtless a most pleasant one.
We learn that Mr. J. K. Vaihn was
quite painfully hurt on Monday while
hauling pears to town. He lost bis
balance while sitting on some ' barrels
and fell between the wheels and the.
wagon, which bruised him np badly
before he could extricate himself.

Mayor Hopkins sat down on a fake
■negro doctor yesterday, and *at down
on him hard. About isint o’clock
yesterday morning a talL coal black
negro asked the perm'saion of the
mayor to cure fits and remove
"spells.” He claimed to be able to
do this by means of a brass button
and silk thread.
"What do you d j with the thread
and buttons?” his honor ij.quired.
'Draw tho spfUs out,” promptly
replied the black humbug.
"Yes, and if I hear of you drawing
any spells around these, -parts I’ll draw

answered. “We need a man about
your size on the gang now, and it
will afiord me much pie, sure to send

Some little excitement was occasioned
on the streets yesterday afternoon by
a report which was brought to town
stating that Spencer had leveled his
gun on a Mr. Chastain in Ihe Chas*
tain neighborhood and then laughed
long and loudly when tho ge
made himself scarce in that particular
locality., Wo do not know how true
this report is, but certain it is that
Spencer i3 yet at large. The chances
are, however, that he will soon be
captured or killed*—Daily T.-E.

last night.
,£he Sheriff left C. wn with a posse
composed of Deputy Sheriff Single*,
tary, Robt. Heeth, Jim Jones and
John Gandy about tvo o'clock Wedt
neBday afternoon to *ook for Henry-
Spencer, the negro desperado, who
has defied arrest. It will be remem*
bered that an unsuccessful attempt
was made last week to arrest Spencer,,
in which several shots *ere exchanged.
The negro is armeefwith a Winchester
and is reported as raying that he
wonld kill the man who tried to take
him.
The latest heard /aim Sheriff Doss
was when he was in Ochlockonee late
Wednesday afternoon. It is said that
Bill Federick joined the sheriff's posse
there. It is thought that the sheriff
over the river somewhere and his
long absence had given rise to the
opinion that he is on a hot trail.
One thing is certain, if Sheriff Dote
finds the negro he will bring him in
if he has to kill him. The people in
town are very much interested in the
case and considerable anxiety is felt
by the friends of the rfficers for their
safety, as the negro is known to bO
one of the most desperate criminals
ever in the county.
Last night a large c, :owd waited on
the streets until a late hour hoping to
hear something, but up to our hour v
for going to press no news had been
received.—Daily T.-E. July 21.
