the corner Of W Whitaker, stood a moment
in the shadow Of the electric light. Look
ing down Whitaker he saw negro CON-
ing from the direction Of BrOughton street,

suspicious manner.
After few minutes be disappeared
across the street in Br0ughtOn street Zane.
The officer remained-q quietly IN the SHADOW
and another negro following the nrst came
from the same direction, and not seeing
the officer walked straight into MS arms
He had in his hands three pairs Of SHOES;
which, on beng questioned, he claimed
he had found. His story didn't look
plausible enough for the wary policeman,
who took the fellow into his possession
and marched him back to the corner Of
BrOughtOn street. where he discovered
the large plate glass window in the front
Of MversOn's store broken and the iron
grating moved out Of position. The sam
pies Of boots and shoes placed on the show
frame in the window were gone
and everything had been cleaned out as
far as could be reached from the outside,
without crawling through the broken
glass into the store. While examining
the place the negro whom the oincer had
first seen came across BrOughtOn street
from the direction Of Branch x COOper's
store and asked what was the matter.
/ The officer recognized him at once and
seized him. at the same time calling for
assistance. Policeman Collins came upon
| the scene and both negroes were taken to
the barracks. The one discovered with
| the shoes in his possession was recog-
nized as Myers Williams, and the other
as Robert jenkins, notorious one armed
/ thief. who has frequently figured IN the
Police and City Courts.
| The shoes in possession Of Williams We're
! taken to the barracks store room. y
/ search was made in the vicinity Of the
| store, and a number Of pairs were found
| in BrOughtOn street lane, where they had
| been temporarily concealed. The
/ prisoners were brought before Acting
| Mayor Wilder in the Police Court, and after
/ examination We're remanded tor further
/ trial. Mr.. MyersOn is determined to fol
/ low up the case and secure if possible the
/ apprehension Of the party who committed
! the robbery on Saturday night. 1t is not
/ thought that those under arrest were i'm
| plicated in either that robbery or the one
| ON Thursday night, which was accom-
| plished in the same manner.

A REvoLUrIONARY CANNON.
Silent Reminder of 1.-The Days That
Tried Mems Souls"

An interesting relic Of the Revolution
airy days attracted the attention ofpassers
on Congress street yesterday, in front of
Graham q Hubbelrs wholesale grocery
Some time ago Col. G. {. Jones, Of Angus
Ia, secured possession Of an old Reyo-
luti0nary cannon which has been for
years half buried IN the streets Of
the little village of Rice
bOrO, in Liberty county. Last week 1t
was dug up from its resting place and
shipped to Messrs. Graham X Hubbell,
who forwarded it TO Augusta last night.
The relic is an ancient field
piece, dismounted. Of course.
as its caissOn had long since
crumblsd TO dust or been destroyed. 1t
is 4-inch calibre iron gun, weighing
about 700 pounds. and although covered
with rust is we'll preserved. 1t had been
buried muZzle downward in the ground,
only the truni0ns and rear endorsements
remaining above ground, and was used
as a hitching post. There are still sew
erdl pieces of ordnance in that vicinity
that were used in the revolution. They
are probably from the old fort which
once stood near the Midway church,
or from that at Sunbury, in the
vicinity Of which several battles
We're fought, and from which Col. John
Mcintosh sent to the commander in
charge Of the British forces the gallant
reply, "Come and take it." Sunbury is
now nearly deserted, and is occupied by
only a few families, but the ground in its
vicinity and in that part of the county is
historic, and was tread by brave men who
fought for their cOuntry's freedom.
Col. Jones is a native of Liberty, aud
was formerly Mayor of Savannah. He
intends to mount the gun and place it in
D. IL
as a reminder OF 1.-the days that tried
mems souls"

The eastern horizon was brightly
lighted last night by a fire which was at
first supposed to be among the naval
stores on the farther eastern wharves, and
afterwards thought to be from the flames
from ship on fire down the river. An
investigation, however, located the fire to
be east of Fort jackson, and probably on
Mcqueen Island. An immense cOnfla-
grafton could De seen in that direction,
the marsh grass apparently being ablaze
for miles. Mcqueen Island is long strip
of marsh on the south side Of the south

to LazarettO creek. a distance of eight
