WINGED that some one had access to their
store beside themselves, during the night,
decided to watch the premises, on Sunday
night oil last week, Mr.. Patterson being
the watcher. Taking his station behind
the counter, aud near the door. he re-
manned in quiet until about ten o'clock
when he heard some one unlocking the
door. He remained quiet until he
thought his man was well advanced from
the door, and then sprang for the door,
but the thief was on the alert and reached
the door before Mr.. Patterson, and
springing through, shut and locked the
doot almost simultaneously. Mr.. Patter.
son thought the one that locked the door
was thief No. =, and that he had his man
that first entered still, but in this he was
deceived. 1t was very dark in the store
so that he could not accurately determine
how far the burglar was from the door
and so he failed to capture him. There
are other symptoms Of similar calls, OF
door-tryings, and it is hoped the thioi
will yet be caught. "

"TBERPS MANY Il SLIP"

A private dispatch was received In this CITY
Yesterday from Washington, which indicates
that, after all, there is very strong prooabii'
ity that the present postmaster OF Charleston,
Mr.. Stanley G. Trott, may yet remain ln un-
disturbed possession of his office, notwith-
standing the recent appointment by the Presi-
dent and confirmation by the Senate, OF DR.. b.
A. Bossmon as his successor. The dispatch
Ia 10 the effect that the President has sent
message to the Ss:ste requesting that BODY
to reconsider Its action In confirming the NOM
ination of DR.. Bosemon, as q preliminary TO
the withdrawal by the President OF the ap-
pointmen:. A request OF this kind, coming
from the President, par.akes, to some extent
of the character Of royal Invitation, and
there is but little doubt that the Senate will
cheerfully obey.
It is rumored that this sudden change has
been brought about, to some extent, oy the
influence Of ex-senator Sawyer, who, while
his own confirmation as the assistant secre-
tary of the treasury was pending, offered no
obstacle TO the appointment and confirmation
of the friends OF Senators Patterson and Rob-
ertson, but who now appears to be Jealous i1
the defence of bis ewn friends, of whom Mr..
Trott has been among the first.
