It waa fully In keeping with the l>rcdal spirit now prcvnlcnt In Macon that, following tho recent fobberlt-M of many luxuriously fitted homca and abundantly atoVkcd grocerlc* and ■tores, an untenanted, wholly empty house should be burglarised. Though sremlngly paradoxical, It Is true nevertheless. The residence soon to be occupied by Mr*. Hickey at !»• orange street, a few doors below Osorgla avenue, wo* entered some time Friday night and relieved of all its slcctrlo lighting fixture*. In cluding wires, ohandrller*. globes end switches. Enough was taken to com pletely fit up a system In another house. Before leaving the burglars muat have looked around for something else to carry away. There was nothing, not a thing In the houae. except key*. These, some eight or ten In number, and of the ordinary kind, were In the locks of the various doors. Ho they wsr# made a part ef tho loot. The new tenants state that ther* l« a bath tub left In the house, and although It la securely fastened down and connected with pipes and ths liko they fear that upon a return visit It may he secured. Accordingly, the po lice department haa been notified, and the service* of a detective required.
