One hundred year, ago horae stealing
might have been a lucrative branch of
the burglar's profession, as at that time
the captured property afforded about the
swiftest means of loc,omotiou or commu
nicatlon. and with a few hours start giv
en to the thief there was every chance of
escape, but in this day of railroad trains,
telegraph wires and vigilant police ser
vice, he is no better than a fool who goes
into his neighbor's stable and steals
therefrom a horse with the expectation
of continuing in possession of his booty
A horse is someiblog a little difficult to
conceal, and within twelve hours after
he theft telegrams have been flashed
over the wires in every direction within
a radius of 100 miles from his starting
point, and almost every officer of the law
within that area Is furnished with an
accurate description of the animal’s ap
pearance, and in nine cases in ten the
thief will And himself under arrest with
in forty-eight hours.
Chief of Police Lingo yesterday morn
ing received a telegram from the Sheriff
of Crawtord county in Knoxville, Ga.,
informing bim of the detention of a ne
gro at that place with ahorse and buggy
stolen from Americus.
This is doubtless Mr. Bagley's horse
and Mr. Autrey’s buggy. Chief Lingo
telegraphed for a description of the re
captured property, and if the answer
proves, as itdoubtless will, that the right
party has been caught, nn officer will
immediately be sent to bring the prison
er back to Americus.
This class of theft seems to be becom
ing popular, as also on Monday night in
Albany the same trick was played, even
the vehicle and horse belonging to dif
ferent parties, with the difference that
the Albany thief has already been
caught and lodged in jail.
THE SLEEPING CHILD.
CARPETS FOB THE WINDSOR.
The Contract* Let Yesterday to M. Rich &
# , Bro. t of Atlanta.
Mr S. B. Jackson, representing M
Rich & Bro., of Atlanta, was in the city
yesterday and closed the contract with
the owners of the new Hotel Windsor to
furnish for that magnificent hostelry all
the carpets needed for the entire build
ing, in addition to the parlor and bridal
chamber furniture and the drapery for
the dining room.
Messrs. Rich 4 Bro., are probably the
most extensive dealers in their line in
the south, and have decorated and car
peted many of the leading southern
hotels, including the Oglethorpe and St.
Simon's of Brunswick, and the fact that
this part of the finishing has been given
to so eminent a firm insures to the Wind
■or taste and completeness in the work,
Some idea may he gained as to the mag
nitude of the hotel when it is knowr
that the contract price for this detail
alone is over $7,000.
But there is a company of men at the
head of this enterprise who never do
things by halves, and they have
spared neither money or effort to build
and equip for the city of Americus a
hotel which in costliness, beauty and
completeness will compare favorably
with any in the South.
Messrs. Rich A Bro. say that the car
pets and decorations which they have
contracted to furnish for the Windsor
are especially rich and elegant, and that
in this line at least, it will be surpassed
by none.
With the completion of the Windsor,
Americus will add to its list the last of
the needed modern improvements, a
first-class and attractive hotel. And its
effect upon business and progressiveness
will be instantaneous, as there 1b no bet
tor advertisement for a city than a well
managed modern hotel. The American
people are strictly business, yet there Is
nothing which so strongly appeals to
their liberality as the cuisine and service
of their temporary stopping places.

Efforts to Awaken Mr. Geo. W. Poole'
Sleeping Daughter Still Futile,
At a late hour yesterday evening the
condition of Mr. Geo. W. Poole’s little
girl, who has slumbered steadily for a
week, remained unchanged.
The diagnosis of the attending pbysi
elans wai to the effect that during a fit
of coughing the patient ruptured
blood vessel, bringing about paralysis of
most of the active nerves. There teems
to be no trouble in administering nour
ishment, though Its reception it purely
mechanical and apparently involuntary
upon the part of the child.
The sleep in whloh she le wrapped
seems to be a healthy one, and to any
one seeing her for the first time the elm-
pif presents the appearance of a slum
bering child.
The attendant praeticionera say that
the duration of the attack cannot be
foretold, it may break at any time and
may continue indefinitely.

The Kiokapoo Indian show leaves to
day for Dawson after several weeks of
profitable business in Americas,
The entertainments given by the troupe
are clean and pleasing, possessing excel
lence and variety seldom displayed by a
free exhibition. While in Americus
their afternoon and night performances
were visited by our best people, includ
ing many ladies, and throughout the en-
or Indian baby waa greatly admired and
petted by the girls and truly it is a cute
little one.
The management of the company is
composed of gentlemen who have be
come very popular even during their
short stay here, and doubtless their so
journ in Dawson will be eqnally success

Two AtlroQomic.1 Event, to Occur Daring
the Month of November.
There are two Interesting events to
take place during the present month.
The first Is periodical and will occur
about the 14th or 15th instant. It is the
passage of the earth through the
meteoric or “shooting star’’ strata of the
universe. This display is not always
great enough to attract espeolal atten
tion, as the mass of these meteors seem
to either (lightly change its position an
nually, or to evince less of life and move
ment, nor is It always as conspicuous
to some parts of the earth's surface
ae to others, yet the observer will always,
find the shooting-stare more abundant at
this season of the year than at any oth
er, and the sight is liable to be one well
worth seeing,
The second astronomical Irregularity
la an ocllpte of the moon, occurring on
the evening of the 15th Inst. The moon
rising, aa it does, about 6 o'clock, will
probably be in eclipse upon its appear
ance. In this latitude the eclipse will be
only partial, while to that portion of the
United States lying west of the Rooky
mountains it will be total.
“Tb.Pnt Man's Club.
If the reception given last night by
the audlence>t the People’s Theatre to
J. C, Stewart be a criterion, that gentle
man’s popularity as'a comedian must be
of the first water. From the beginning
of the first act of “The Fat Man'a Club"
until the final drop, the audienoe was
kept in one perpetual state of unre
strained merriment. At the close of the
first act Mr. Stewart was called' before
the curtain and presented with two beau
tiful floral tributes, and before he could
retire was the victim of vooiferous calls
for a speech. In a fow pleasant words
tire time there was nothing objections- and with bis characteristic good nature
ble and much to enjoy. The papoose, "ha explained that his production was

A Sow Trios to Eat o Baby.
Celie Nelson, s negro woman on the
Vason place, went ont to the eowpen to
milk and carried her baby. She left the
baby on the ground just outside the pen.
Inside the pen were some hogs, and it Is
supposed that these attracted the atten
tion of the baby and it thrust one of its
hands through the fence at them. Any
how, while the mother was engaged with
her milking she heard her child scream.
An old aow had caught the baby's hand
and waa proceeding to devour It In regu
lar hog fashion. The mother rescued
the ohlld quickly as poesible, but not un
til its hand and arm had been badly
