known by them that Mr.. Olmstesd handles
considerable money, which they supposed
was kept in the house. At the hour named
one of Mr.. Olmstead's daughters

some medicine for a sick child when
she discovered window blind open which
she remembered fastening. She looked
out of the window and extended her hand
for the purpose of pulling in the blind, when
she saw 8 negro man standing at the win
dow. She Immediately screamed, srousing
her father, who was sleeping in a small
building in the rear, and who, spriuging
from his bed. grasped his double harreled
shot gun, cooked 1t, and with his hoger Oh
the trigger started for the gate, intending
to head the robbers off. In his hurry, be
unfortunately stepped on a glass bottle and
fell to the ground, when the gun was dis
charged, which alarmed the negroes and
they refreshed rapidly, succeeding in max
ing their escape,
Mr. Olmstesd was very much surprised
that valuable dog which he had gave no
alarm, and on searching for the animal he
was discovered under a window groanipg as
though In great pain, and yesterday found
that the dog had been given glass broken
In very fine pieces on meat, which he ate,

The Rows and their BicycIes

Editor Morning NeaoS l want to ask you
about riding bicycles on the streets. The
policemen will not let US ride them any
where around Savannah. and I want to
know whether one Of the city ordinances
forbids our riding them, or whether the
policemen only want to scare US boys little
by threatening to take US to the barracks
L It is against the law, of course we will
not ride; but we do not want the policemen
to impose upon us. We would also like to
know II the city does not wish US to take
any exercise. We are not permitted to
climb trees nor jump the ratings In the
squares, and now, If We cannot ride bicy-
Giles, what are we to do?
We sometimes go out to Thunderbolt on
our bicycles, but even then 1t is hard work.
for the toll man will not let US through the
toll gate for either love or money, and we
tote our bicycles round the gate through
the plantations and come out again on the
other side of the gate, and then go on TO
Thuaderbolt. / hope you will answer this
letter, because l, and indeed all the boys,
wish to know very much.
ONE OF THE BOYS.
NorE.-The writer Of the above commu-
citizens, and appears to be deeply interested
in this matter. For the information of him
self and companions we will state that there
is an ordinance against using velocipedes on
the sidewalk, which also applies to bicycles.
The ordinance prohibiting the use Of veloci-
pedes on the sidewalk was passed Msy H.
1869, when there was perfect mania among
the young men and boys for veloci-
pede riding. II was amended Aug
ust %, 1877, to include barrows
trucks, wheelbarrows and hand carts of
every description. except when necessary to
cross any sidewalk from the curb to the en-.
trance of anv lot, building or enclosure. In
regard to riding on the Thunderbclt road
beyond the limits of the city, we know of
no prohibitory law, though the road being
operated by chartered company we pre-
sumo they have the right to refuse passage
through the toll gate to bicycle riders
Whilst the ordinance is positive, we infer
that 1t is more intended to prevent the com
p,ete monopol'zlng Of the sidewalks to the
de'riment of pedestrians, rather than to
deprive the boys entirely of this exhilara-
ting exercise, in the indulgence of which,
however. It is necessary they should show
the greatest caution. That the ordinance is
not riqldly enforced is evident from the
number OF velocipedes and bicycles to be
seen on the street daily.

How They Are RegIstering-The
New Law.

Dropping into the Office of the Ordinary,
yesterday afternoon, we inquired Of the eff
Gent clerk. Mr.. P. NJ. Russell, Jr., how the
new law In reference to the registration of
LIQUOR dealers was progressing.
"FairlY," was the reply; ''the dealers
seem to regard the law as an imposition,
and dislike paying the fee."
chow much is the fee ?"
zone dollar, which is allowed the Ordi-
nary for the work Of making out two regis
Try lists"
CHOW many have registered to date 2"
"Up to five O'Clock this afternoon there
are one hundred and thirty-three."
Chow many dealers are there in the
city,"
"About three hundred and sixty or four
hundred"
"What does the law require?"
"The law is very explicit and requires
that on and after the LIST inst every dealer in
sDirituous or malt liquors or intoxicating
hitters, beer and everything of the kind,
shall register in the Office OF the Ordinary
and shall pay the tax required by law be-
fore commencing business"
"Does that include druggists?"
'It does"
"It these persons continue to do business
without registering what will be t. e result?'
"They will be reported to the Solicitor
General by the Tax Collector, and when
true bills OF indictment are found they will
be prosecuted and punished under the
section Of the Code which regulates
the punishment of misdemeanors.
They will be fined not exceeding thous-
and dollars or Imprisonment not exceed
ing six months, or put upon the public
works for not more than year. They can
be given one or more of these punishments. "
Under this situation of affairs, it behooves
those interested to act at once.
