THE SAFE BLOWEBS.
They Wanted to be Modern

THE CANG IS SURELY BROKEN UP.
Capture of Feint of the Stolen Goode
Arrest of Redding's Wlfe-Onm.llilng
More About the Alleged Leader
of the Gang.
It is now quite likely that if the safe
blowers, of whom the merchants of the
imall towns in middle Georgia and lower
Alabama hare been in dread to long, are
not caught within a week, the gang will
at least hare been broken up, and the mer
chant can shut his store at night and go
home without fearing that the morning
will find the store rnhhed.
As has been mentioned, the safe-blowing
gang ia composed of a white man and two
negroes. Beportsays the leader is one
Charles Diion whose nativity is unknown.
He is supposed by some to he a Georgian
who left Macon many years ago and after
a term in a northern penitentiary re
turned to live the life of a land pirate.
1 hen again he is sn[ posed to be a Missis,
sippian whose deputations in Mississippi
ana Louitisnna caused a large price
to be set upon his head,
and that from big booty
he descended to companion'hip with
negroes, content to.raid upon tbe stores in
the smaller towns. This class of robbery
gave him a fancied security, as he was
somewhat ont of the way of city police
and detectives. The raids were sufficient
to keep him in plenty of ready cash, and
the risks were less dangerous than crack
ing city banks.
The report goes on to say that one of his
negro accomplices is Bob Redding, a tall
mulatto and brother gf the
NOTORIOUS WILEY REDDING
who flour shed a ftw years agoand gave
the police of the larger towns something
to remember him by in the shspe of bullet
wounds and knife cuts. The other accom
plice is supposed to be a Macon negro who
enjoys to a certain extent the resptet of
Macon people.
According to the police and detectives,
this tiio have been a terror in the land, It
is said that their raids have been so suc
cessful that they have opened stores ip cer
tain sections which they keep well stocked
with the results of their after-darK forag
ing expeditions. Ttcy know that there is
a certain amount of safety in certain goods,
because it is difficult to identify a can of
salmon or a suit of clothing. If John
Smith has a little grocery on the side oi
the road, and to all intents and purposes
is an honest mcrchsnt, it is next to an im
possibility to prove that he deals in
STOLEN GOODS.
The fact has been reported in these
'Columns that stores have been robbed at
Juliet?, at Monticclio, Flovilla and
Ktuarr’s station and other places. The
.work is the same and it Is evident Ihal the
fame gang committed the robbery, but
how can it bo proven? The police and de
tectives learn the tricks of the lobbers, but
the robbers catch on at once and change
their programme so quickly and easily
that arrest can he talked about, but it is
not so easy to accomplish.
white man and his two black aids is
shared by two negro women. One ia An
nie Tidwell, the alleged wife of Charles
Dixon, the white man and leader, and the
other ia Ellen Thomas, the wife of Bob
Bedding. Ellen ia iu prison.

On Tuesday a posse in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Hodnett went out to Stinsonville
and seatched the house of Addie Tidwell,
findings lot of silk dresses, silverware, etc.
These they did not remove, for reasons of
their own, and the next day Addie sold
her sewing machine for {15, packed np and
left the city, but in what way nobody seems
to know.
On Thursday Bedding went to the house
where he had been living and, drawing
h’s pistol, told Ellen that Murrell said,
“dead people tell no tales.” and that he
intended to kill her; that Charlie (Dixon)
wanted to kill her himself and he wag now
sorry he did not let him do it; that it was
her tongue that gave them away, and that
Charlie always said she would turn them
up. She was indifferent as to whether he
killed her or not, being in poor health
and tired of living as she was,
and finally Bedding {desisted. He
told her that he must leave, and as he had
no money he would he compellid to trampi
through tl ; woods. He told her she must
sell her furniture and get away the best
she could. He also told her that she must
take the trunk he had just carried to the
house and send it by express to Charlotte
to somebody she knew there to be deliv-
ered up when he should write for it.
Yesterday morning he again visited the
house and upbraided her about not sending
the trunk. She promised to attend to it at
once and he left, and she lost sight of him
as he went into the woods beyond Crump
park.
A VISIT TO TBS SCENE.
In the afternoon of yesterday Lieuten
ant Wood and Detective Shackelford went
out to the scene of the safe blower’s baili
wick. Tbejr found that there was several
negroes indirectly connected with the gang
by receiving the stolen goods. They made
no searches, however, but received infor
mation that will probably lead to the re
covery of a lot of goeds, They visited
Ellen’s house and found a lot of shoes and
other things that had been catricd there
by Bedding. They also found at another
place a gun that hadb en i tolen.frt m Mon
ticcllo. They also found letters and tele-

grama that show up Dixon’s whereabouts
for several months past.
The amr.nnt. of plunder taken b~ the
gang, according to the report, ia enormous.
They are charged with robbing stores in
Alabama and all through Middle Georgia,
and all the horses that have been taken by
them would make a drove.
In theFlovilla robbery it will be remem
bered that Bedding was captured but made
his escape amid Hying bullets. He ia said
to have been shot in the heel and . was
limping from the wound when lie left Ma-

worked iu harmony. They act a close
watch on *he men, and, in spite of the fact
tliat the game was startled by a premature
Taid, the two detectives believe that the
capture of the entire crew ia a matter of
But little time.
This premature raid caused the Tidwell
woman to alio out of town between two
suns, and Dixon followed. The last to
leave waa Bob Bedding.
THE FIRST HAUL
Early yesterday morning Detective
.Shackleford eecreted himself in the local
ity known as Htinaonville, and watched
operations. He saw Ellen Thomas leave
her house with a wagon on which waa a
trunk. Under the impression that the
woman intended to go on some tram with
the trunk, tbe detective sent a. man into
town for tome money, that lie might go on
the train with her to any poiut the might
tiavel, and thus be enabled io catch it’s
man. He followed the trunk in its various
windings into the city, and was surprised
to tee it atop in front of the Sou hern
txpTvts office instead of the depot. He
immediately informed Lieut. Wood, and
that officer took charge of Ellen, and with
4he trunk carried her to the barracks.
There tke trunk was opened tnd found to
domain a lot of goods, some of which tal
lied with the descriptions given of missing
mods from the robbed stores. The lower
part of the trunk was filled with shoes and
tlotking, the latter being a portion of that
taken from Ilill A Co, at Smart's station
uxl shoes of the “N. M. Ho onion brand’
Oaken irom the same store. There were
articles from various stores, but no
maoey.
In the handsatchel found with Ellen was
a photograph of a colored girl sitting by
the aide of a sick pa ient. This waa in a
large envelope addressed to “Mrs. E. 8.
Thomas, care J. A. Brooks, 529 Cotton
arcane, Macon, Ua.” In addition, there
was .» buckeye and rabbit’s foot, and a
postal card addressed to “Dear Mamma,”
dated at Atlanta and saying: “I am going
home to Charlotte next Monday if nothiug
prevents,” and signed, "Carrie.”
con. He told Ellen that his foot was in
jured on the railroad.
Ellen will be held for a few days, and iu
the meantime the investigation will con
tinue.

I-lberal Action on the I'art of the People or
the Classic City.
T} 16 trouble about a right-of-way for the
Covington and Macon road through Athens
has been compromised and a large squad
of hands are now at work building trestles
preparatory to bringing the trains into the
city, says our Athens correspondent.
Several private citizens have acted very
generously toward the road. For some
distance it passes through the property of
the Athens factory and the damage
was assessed at SI,500. Mr. Cheney,
the agent of this factory, made out
a deed to the right-of-way and pre
sented it to the road. The Athens
IMITATING UURRELI.
From what could be gathered from Ellen,
■who ia disposed to conceal nothing, it
-wonhl appear that the gang endeavored to
imitate John A. Murrell aa far a* advanced
civilization and a crowing country would
permit. Bhe was keeping a sort of reslau-
rant in Atlanta when she saw John
Thomas, alias Bob Bedding, for the first
time. I/e came there from Chicago with
Charles Dixon, alias Ferguson, the white
man, and was represented to Iter by Addie
Tidwell, Dixon’s alleged wife, aa a very
fiat man. He won her heart, and

FEEE FROM LIME AND ALUM.
THE BOYAL BAKING POWDER ABSOLUTELY PURE.
The only Baking Powder yet found by chemical anal
ysis to be entirely free from lime, and absolutely pure, is
the “Royal.” This perfect purity results from the exclu
sive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally remove the tartrate of
lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other, and
it is used in no balling powder but the “ Royal.”
Dr. Edward G. Love, formerly analytical chemist for
the U. S. Government, who made the analyses for the
New York State Board of Health in its investigation of
baking powders, and whose intimate knowledge of the
ingredients of all those sold in this market enables him to
speak authoritatively, says of the purity and wholesome
ness of the “Royal”:
“I have tested the Royal Baking Powder, and find it
composed of pure and wholesome ingredients. It is a
cream of tartar powder, and does not contain either alum
or phosphates, or other injurious substance.
