There is evidently an organized gang of burglars operating in Thom, asrille. Within. the past tew weeks several stores have been entered and goods taken therefrom, hot the most daring and successful raid was made on Friday sight when the poet office and the store of the Levy Mercantile Company were entered. It ia not known at what time of the night the burglars did thdr work. The first known »f it ms when the places were opened up yesterday morning. Wheu postmaster Bike entered the office at an early hour he waa very much astonished to find that every thing was torn up and scattered around the floor. The desks, drawers, pigeon holes, eta, were emptied of their oontouts, which showed signs ot having been goue through and afterwards scattered on the floor. The Bate ms intact and did not appear to have been tampered with. The stamp drawer, which contained quite a quantity of stamps, was also left undisturbed. The only thing missing was about seven dollars and a half in cash, which had been left in ehe cash drawer over night, and * pair o( shoes belonging to Mr. Geo. Smith. In the back pan of the office was found a bole which had been bored out by the burglars, through which they gained an entrance. When Mr. Elias opened up the stores of the Levy Mercantile Com pany yesterday morning he saw noth- out of place uotil he reached ihe office. There everything was torn up. Every drawer in the desk hid been forced opened and their contents strewn promiscuously about the placa The cash drawer was unscrewed from the desk and carefully removed. When making cash the night before Mr. Elias had left about twenty-five dollars in silver in the drawer. This was taken, but nothing e’ee was missed. Tho bur glars were evidently on the search for mousy, as none of the goods in the store were missed. They gained an entrance to this plaoe through the cellar, cutting a hole through the back brick wail large enough to ad mit the body of a man. The same party robbed both places beyond any doubt,aa they are only two djofe a part aod in the same bai'.ding. Investigations yesterday morning showed just how the burglars gained an entrance to the boi'ding and also to both stores. They went in through the back yard of the Mitchell House, where there is an opening leading under the building covere t with boards. This was probably left eo that plumbers or others might get underneath to work in the event anything got out of order. Once under there it was an easy matter to crawl on hands and knees to the places they desired to work. A brace and bit was used to bore a bole through the floor in the pastoffice. When they had finished at this place little more crawling brought them to the cellar wall, which runs np to the floor under the Levy dry goods store. With some instrument enough of the brick were removed to admit the body of a man. From tho cellar it was no trouble to ieach the store above. While the work showed that it had been planned before hand, it waa not done by professionals, or they would have blown the safes. There is no cine aa to the guilty parties, but the officers are at work on the case. promptly arrested and locked up. He - had about thirteen dollars silver ou his person. The capture of the burglar so toon after the crime waa a splendid piece of detective work and Mr. Coyle deserves much credit for the excellent manner in which he handled the case. Spanish, is an old’crook and has served several terms on the chain gang fur theft, He will be pat now where he .will not have an opportuni ty to etcal. There ia no doubt but that he ifu committed a'l of the burglaries within the past few months. —Daily T..E. Oot. & Thomasville Wink. It will be a pleasure to all to learn that a Thomasville boy won the Weet Point cadetship at Albany on Satur day, and an additional pleasure to know that Mr. Hargrave waa the suc cessful contestant. Thera were six entries, three ul them being from Thomas oouuty, viz: Joe Horne, Carlos Lynes and Walter Hargrave. The other three were from other 00un ties in the district. The examination was conducted by an able and com petent board of examiners, of which Prof. 8. A. Boddenbery, of this city, was t< member, and was very rigid. Young Mr. Hargrave’s papers were faultless and he easily won the prize. Mr. Nussbanm, ot Bainbridge, came Second, and Mr. Horne, ot this city, third Mr. Hargrave is a young man of very fine mind, and although he made uo preparation for the examina tion, fioso who knew him intimately, had n-i doubt of his taking a high stand. He returned home Sunday night and has since been receiving the congratulations of his friends. A Remedy for Weevils. We published a letter a lew days ago from Mr. John W. Rice, of Lura villa, Fla., to the Live Oak Banner, giving his experience with bi-sulphide of carbon as a weevil destroyer. Mr. Rice ia a former citizen of Thomas' county and iz a gentleman of unques tionable veracity. His statements will be received with implicit confi dence by an who know him, and some our readers, in consequence, may adopt his method of .ridding com of weevils. Aod this is why we allude to the subject again. Mr. Bice, doubt less inadvertently, failed to citation those who might follow his example regard to the inflammable nature of bi-sulphide of carbon. Until sufficient time bis elapsed for all ol the carbon evaporate and pass .away, no fire should be allowed In proximity of the barn. The atrikiog of a match or passing with a torch even at some distance daring volatilization might set fire to the premises. If your bam tight enough and sufficient bi-sul- phide oi carbon is nsedgtil the weevils the core at the time will be killed, but we advise all who nse it to be careful about fire. New Millinery.

Since the above was pnt ia type the burglar has been caught, and there is ample evidence to send him np. Ever since the first burglary was committed some weeks age Police- mao Coyle hu been suspicions of Charley Spanish, a well known negro man about town. Charley koepe a woman, Mitt Bennett, and yesterday afternoon she came out on the streets on a shopping expedition und carried a handsome pocket book in her hand. Mr. Coyle, who was on the lookout for her, saw the book and it fitted the description of one stolen from Capt. Hicks’drug store when it was burg larized a few weeks ago. The Ben nett woman when asked about it said Spanish gave it to her. Capt Hicks was sent for and he identified the book aa his property. The woman was pat in the back port of the post- office, where she would have no ops portunity to see any one, and the officers started ont to look for Span ish. Marshal Spair, in the meantime, went to Spanish’s house and searched the premises for other stolen goods and found several articles, among which were a n amber oi agars of the brand ato m-from Hicks’and a pair ot shoes, which were identified by Mr, Geo. Smith as the ones taken from thepoatoffice. Policeman Coyle found Spanish on the streets and he was Mr. C. Al. Robinson, formerly conductor on the S.7 F. & W, Ry. but now in charge of the construction of the Tallahassee and Carrabelle railroad under McIntyre & Davidson, cam: home Saturday night and will remain here a few davs. Capt. Rob inson is at home in any department of railroad work, from grading a new road to running a passenger train, The contractors are to becongra'ulat- ed on securing the services ot so com petent a man as Mr. Robinson to superintend their work. Weregtetto learn oi the death ol Mrs. Caleb While, an old and well known lady living near Meigs, which occurred on last Friday. She was sixty-seven years old andleaves a large number of inends to mourn her daath. The infant daughter of Mr. W. A. Brown died ia tbe same neighborhood on the same date. Both funerals were held at once on Saturday. We understand that freight train No. 54 from Albany which arrives here every moroing about six o’clock will bring through poaches of mail. This.will in a measure, compensate tor the loss of mail occasioned by tbe discontinuation of No. 5, which form erly brought the Atlanta Journal aod other northern mail. The Toccoa News paints early an tumn in North Georgia in the follow ing glowing colon: The early morning air makes one think oi winter Clothes, and the nighta are cool and wondroosly bright The sunsets are chirming pictures coloring, and some of the leaves the forest seem to have retained the, hues of the western skies. Tbe fields and woodlands are gay with golden rod, purple esleraand numerous other wild flowers of varied tints. Chest nuts are ripening in the woods and apples -are blushing furiously ou the orchard trees. Referring to the discontinuance oi bains on the 8. F. & W, the News of yesterday says: j- “Savannah, Florida and Western train*' Nos. 5 and 6 between Savan nah and Thomasville will be dis continued with train No. 5 leaving Savannah at 8:10 p. m. to-day and train No. 6 arriving at Savannah at 6:05 a. in. to morrow. These trains are discontinued on account of tbe yellow fever at Bruns wick and Jeeup and the quarantine regulations now in force. Soph Flem ing says that the travel ha3 decreased to cinca the quarantine was put on that these fraies can be easily dis pensed with. The cutting off of these trains, he says, will aid the' quarantine by di minishing the opportunities of the people from the fever district to reach Savannah and lightening the work of the quarantine inspectors.” Tho understanding here, is that trains 5 aud G are only discontinued temporarily. They will no donbt be pat on egtia after the yellow fever flurry is over.

He Miked freely and plainly. It will be six weeks yet,” he said, before the close of the epidemic. Savanoah’s danger period is during the next fourteen days. If no fever develops within that time you may consider yourself safe. There is un- questionably reason for apprehension until that time expires. If there should be a case or two after that time there would be no ground for alarm. would be too late io the season for an epidemic, and the disease could be easily checked.” With regards to Jesup Dr, Carttr said: “Jesup is undoubtedly thorough infected with yellow fever and is more dangerous to Savannah now than Brunswick is. It should be shut up as tightly as possible and nooce a!« lowed to leavo except for the deten tion camp. So many people have left Jesup, however, that the danger has been scattered over a large territory. New York, Oot. 7.—Toe Cunarder Lucaoia which reached the dock at 5:30 this moraiog, succeeded in low ering tbe record tor -western passage by fifty.oine minutes. The record was previously maed by Paris. The Lucaoia made the voyagein five days, thirteen hours aod twecty.five minutes. Our congressman, Hon. Ben E. Russell, is receiving numerous flatter ing nonces of his speech jn the house the other day io opposition to the ted. eral election laws. Mr. Russell has, in fact, proved himself one of the foremost debaters in the house. Re ferring to his speech the Atlanta Con- stitution says: Colonel Ben Rnssell, ol Georgia, came forward io the house to-day ou the election bill, Mr. Russell was in good form and made a strong argu ment. Though there were a few mem. bera present when the Georgian took the floor he was given close attention and was repeatedly applauded. Sever al rimes republicans attempted to in terrupt, but the Georgian stood his ground splendidly and proved him self good at repartee. Bishop. Haygood, of Georgia, is a strong and vigorous writer. Referring to the frequency of lynchings through out tbe country, be says: Legal punishment educates men into respect for law; lynching educates them into contempt for lav.' Lynch ing does more to pat down law than any criminal it talus ia hand; lyochs mg kills a mao; the lyncher kills the law that protects file; lynching is an archy. Ifone private citizen has no moral or aril right .to pat a man to death, a hundred banded together have not the right. The government that winks at lynching is virions; the government that docs not care is fool ish or wicked; the government that cannot pot it down ia weak.” It ia rather significant that Senator Hill, whose boast is that he is democrat” should have- sided and voted with the republicans who at tempted to defeat Mr. Cleveland’s nominations for Indian agent, during the executive session of the senate on Thursday. Mr. Bill and his republican allies failed in their efforts to defeat the nomioatinnt. The emperor and Bismarck will bo reconciled—when one of them dies.
