HIS WIFE A BURGLAR.
An Amusing Incifent Over Which
All Quitman is Laughing.
I Quitman, Ga_, August 30—An
amusing incident oecured in this lit
tie eity a few nights tago. The wife of
a prominent citizen, an ex-alderman,
went to the country do spend a few
days The night of her departure her
husband returned (home early, ate
his supper, and finding home very
lonely without his wife, came back
down town.
Returning home about ten o’clock
the gentleman was much surprised
to see scene one moving around in
his house. Thinking it was a burglar,
he rushed down town and, finding a
policeman and several friends, ran
back to capiturethe supposed thief.
The house was surrounded and
the gentlem&a with two friends pro
ceeded to open the door. What was
their astonishment when a shrill
female voice rang out: “who is
that?” No one spoke. Again the
voice called out: ‘ I am going to
shoot.’’ The vacant band of volun
teers immediately fied.
The gentleman recOgnizisg his
wife’s voice called th her. He found
his plucky little wife sitting with ic
volver in hand waiting for the hus
band’s assistants to come in, she
supposing they were burglars. The
wife had returned home unexpected
iy.
The joke is on the husband and the
nerve of the little wife is the admi
ration of the town.—Journal.

The Effect of Absence.
It was getting along toward the
noon of night, and the young man
had not yet said what he was anx
ious to say. The girl, however had
very nearly reached the point of
having what she was ready to say
said in her sleep. The last thihg
she remenbered his saying was
something about leaving for Eu
rope or the moon or some other
foreign locality. Then he gave a
kind of warning cough and she
started nervously.
H“I)o you believe,” he said,“that
absence makes the heart grow fon
der?”
“ Id<>n t know, " she replied glanc
ing up at. the clock/‘suppose you
try it. ”
Five minutes later there wasn’t
anyone there except herself, and
sfie looked around, rubbed her eyes
and wondered what the funny
dream was she had had.—Detroit

Paralyzes one of
THE EXPERT GAMBLERS
Os the Gate City. Forty Packu>
of cards and a Half Bush
el of Poker Chips with
an Affidavit in the
Jack-pot-
This morning’s Constitution con.
tains the following most readable
article:
Forty packs of cards, a half
bushel of poker chips ami a take
out box were among the gambling
assets of William Brown,said to be
a professional card player, which
were displayed in the city court
room yesterday morning.
The eyes of the jury and assem
bled spectators in the courtroom
grew large with astonishment at
the. volume of gaming utensils.
Jadge Westmoreland was as
tounded at the revelation and
glared at them with a look of puz
zled curiosity. It was one of the
largest hauls he had ever witnessed
and his surprise and astonishment
were unbounded.
Two charges were preferred a
gaiust Brown, one for running a gam
bling house and the other one for
gaining. To both of these he pled
guilty.
Judge Westmoreland thereupon
passed sentence on the prisoner, re
quiring him to pay a fine of SSOO for
running a gambling house and 8200
for gaming, making a total of S7OO.
Ha has not yet made up tbi a sum,
but the probability is be will pay the
full amount of the fine today.
Before the sentence was passed by
Judge Westmoreland am affidavit, in
behalf of the pnsoaer, was read by
his attorney, Mr. J. W. Austin*
Lu this affidavit he avowed his
in tout son to turn ever a new leaf
.u hts diary. He stated that he
came from DeKalb county au<
that for a num bar of years he hat
been in the habit of playing cards
He acknowledged that he was the
owu«r of a private gaming house
on Loyd street, but denied that he
was guilty of acj deliberate in
tention to violate the law.
He thought, since he carried on
the business privately, that no
penalty was thereby incurred. He
exonerated the detectives from all
charges which wore laid at their
door and declared that he
nothing against the charac er or
methods or the detective force of
tins city.
The affidavit was strong and
weil written.
As soon as Mr. Austin had fin
ished rending the affidavit Solictor
Thomas arose to his feet and asked
for the privilege of asking Mr.
Brown a lew supplementary ques
tions.
The court readily consented and
the solicitor began to question him
in regard to the charges which
were made against the detectives
and which public rumor had laid
at his door.
“Did you ever offer any member
of the detective force a bribe?”
asked Solicitor Thomas.
“Never,” was the reply.
“Did you ever hear of any one
else who made such an offer.
“I never did. ”
Tms appeared to satisfy the so
licitor aud be resumed his seat. In
ceitaiu charges made against the
detectives a tew mouths ago it was
stated that Brown was iu posses
sion of facts by which the guilt ot
the detectives iu accepting bribes
could be established. His disclo
sures from the witness stand yes.
terday morning throw important
fignt ou the situation.
Judge Westmoreland, in passing
sentence, stated that he had noth
ing to do with the charges of bri
bery against the detectives, but he
well understood how officers who
did their duty would be abused
aud vilified. Since a plea of guilty
had been filed by the prisoner he
would be as lenient as possible,
aud insiead of sending him up for
a year, as he was disposed to do,
he would impose a fine of SSOO ou
him for keeping a gaming house
aud S2OO tor gaming.
