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. THE BREAKFAST TABLE ITEMS OF INTEREST SPECIALLY PRE PARED FOR HASTY READERS- HEAVENLY PHENOMENA. 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. Attention, Knight, of Pythias.

Going to Dawson, 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 ful with that in Americas, 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.

Dollars’ 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 crushed In the jews of the ravenous swine. Dr. W, W.
