Stores Broken Open-Chicken-
ROOStS Robbed and Boat
Stolen,

Last Friday morning upon enter
ing his store Mr.. G.. w. Higbtowel
was surprised to find that during
the night previous thieves bad
broken in and helped themselves
to such as suited their tastes. An
entrance was effected by the
thieves boring holes through the
front door of the warerOOm, which
adjoins the store, which enabled
one of them to put his hand
through the opening and unfasten
the bar across the door. In a sim
liar manner they untastened the
door leading from the wareroom
into the store, and then walked in.
Besides getting about $25 in dimes
and nickels, they carried off a fine
shot gun, clothing, hats, shoes,
hair brushes, combs, bacon, coffee,
and many other things too numer.
GUS to mention. From tracks on
the counter, plainly visible next
morning, it is known that a boy
was in the gang, aud from thequan-
tity of goods carried of there must
have been two or three engaged in
the business. Mr. HightOwer's loss
is between 500 and $500, though
it is impossible for him to tell what
he did lose. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made the same night to
break Into the store of MI. NJ. A.
Dees.
A few weeks ago a raid was
made on Capt. j. b. Delmas' store
house, near his mill, aud a guam
tity of provisions carried of. The
scouudrels broke opei the door to
the house, aud after taking as much
as they could carry off made them
selves scarce.
On Monday night the chicken
house of DR.. Chidsey was entered
and a half dozen fine hens stolen
theretrom.
Last week we mentioned the fact
of the Round island lighthouse
boat being stolen, and Oh the same
night in which HightOwer's store
was entered some one stole a small
boat belonging to b. F. Pickett.
He, however, recovered the boat a
few days after. 1883 tfa 3..
Steiling is becoming too com
mon around here, and we advise
citizens to sleep on their arms, as
it were, and be prepared to meet
the insidious midnight prowler
with powder and ball. Idleness
begets rascality, and people who
do not work are perfOrce bOund-tO
steal. We would urge upon the
constable and deputy sheriff the
importance of arrestiDg all men,
white or black, who have no visi'
bic means of support and bring
them before a justice of the peace
under the vagraDt act. Something
must be done to put a stop to the
stealing that is becoming so fire.,

THE PROPOSED ACTION OF THE DISTRICT AUTHOR.
tiles TO ABATE 1T.
Some OF the old residents in the southwestern
portion OF the city are apprehensive that mala-
rial diseases may be generated In that locality
by the plan In contemplation by the District
authorities, II carried out, Of removing the filthy
scum on the river flats at this time They re-
gard the recent order of the Commissioners for
the cleaning out of the docks and under the
piers on our river front as well-timed. and say
that large quantities OF both decaying vegetable
and animal matter Is continually being driven
ashore and held by numerous projections and
sive odors. Such matter should be raked out and
hoate0 Oh with the tides, and wherever neceS-
saIy dlsln1ectants should be furnished by the
authorities to freshen up these foul places.
Decayed sturgeon and smaller fish, dead dogs,
cats and other animal matter, can be found any
day laying about our river shores In the hot
or the sicken1ng smell Of the river flats is
neither pleasant nor healthful. Whatever the
grounds for the fears expressed by the resi-
would be well for the Commissioners to
adopt such means in the removal OF this
river scum nuisance as will not endanger the
health OF the citizens there The plan Of open
Ing up temporary canal from the mouth OF
the B-street sewer into the deep water OF the
Georgetown channel is good one to float OF
the offensive sewer discharge. and the quicker
1T Is done the better. The flats south of the
Long Bridge are, II possible, In worse con-
dition than those north OF it, and will require
was made last year, at considerable ex.
pense, to dtstnfect this portion of the
flats, but it is doubtful whether much
good was accomplished: The wild oats and
other river grasses, which grow in such pro.
fusion all over these flats, both above and
below the bridge, retain everything OF an often
sive character, which is floated In by the tides,
forming scum and thick crust, which is
raised py the tides and lowered at ebb to give
out foul odors In the hot sun, which are waited
In every direction by the winds. This river
subject is one of large dimensions and difficult
OF solution, as our engineer will find in dealing
with It. The theory of raking and float
ing off with the tides this foul scum
reads well and looks feasible, but where is it to
float? Should the ebb tides be strong enough
TO float this sediment down to the Giesboro
shore the flow tides VIII be very apt to float it
back again, most OF it to be deposited on the
flats below the bridge. The prevalent idea
that If this mass Of filth be once got into the
channel 1t will float off to the mouth of the
river and perhaps into the Chesapeake bay Is
believed to be an erroneous one by those &C
quainted with the river, its currents, &c. Yet
much Of the malarial evil may be remedied by
carrying out the plan proposed, much of the
matter being soluble, and other portions will
be UreCiDit8te0.
