BOLD ROBBERY.

Schroder's Grocery Entered by Burglars
The BarrOom Fired and the Robbers
Escape without Their Plumber
yYiehrs' Bakery Entered-HOw the
Robbery was Discovered.
Schroder's grocery store en- Liberty and
West Broad streets was, early yesterday
morning, the scene Of a well-planned but
unsuccessful robbery. Abaut 3:30o'clock
Mr.. 5ohn F. WIehrs, who was at work in
his bakery on West Broad street and Perry
lane, discovered that a negro had entered
the room occupied by some of the bakers
and had stolen their clothing. He made
the discovery about the tine the thief left
with his plumber, and gave chase.
In passing Schroder's grocery, which is
separated from the bakery by a yard. he
discovered smoke issuing from the win
dows. Hurrying around the corner he
discovered a negro standing in the middle
Of liberty street. Upon being asked what
he was doing there at that time Of the
night, the negro replied that he was
coming 10 the bakery for some bread. Mr..
Wiehrs' suspicious were excited, and he
stepped up TO the negro, who backed
away as Mr.. WiehTs advanced, and
finally turned and fed down West
Broad street. Mr.. WiebFs was I'M
able 10 pursue him in the dark, and
the yard to SchrOder's. The smoke by
this time was pouring out of the windows.
He aroused the family, who occupy part
Of the building as residence. Mr..
Diedrich Schroeder, who is ia charge Of
the store during the prOpriet0r's absence
IN Europe, with Mr.. Ldnge, hurried
down stairs. The dining room on the
first feor was filled with smoke. On
entering the bar in the rear of the store
the room was in a blaze. With vigorous
efforts the flames were extinguished. On
opening an outside door leading into
the yard a large auger was
found sticking in the door, into which it
had been bored. 1t was evident that
some one had attempted to secure an en-
trance. On going behind the bar a can
vas sack filed with boxes of cigars was
found lying on the floor. This was the
first conclusive evidence that a robbery
had been attempted. AS soon as the ire
was eXtinguished its origin was located
in a corner of the bar by barrel Of wine.
The netting hung in front of the bar
shelves was burned and the woodwork
was charred and burned.
In going into the sleeping room, adjoin-
ing the store, a window was found open
with the shutters cut, showing where the
rObber had entered. He had evidently
climbed the fence surrounding the yard,
and after falling in the attempt to bore an
entrance through the door, mad cut the
shutters wide enough to admit his hand.
He had then opened them, raised the win
dow and crawled through. After filing
this sack, which he had brought for the
purpose of taking away the plumber, he
probably then lighted match on the floor
among some loose cotton, which was
scattered behind the bar, and being
frightened by the flames, which flashed up,
left the house in the same manner he en-
tered. leaving his booty behind.
The matter was reported to the police,
but no clue was obtained to the robbers.
Some of the clothing stolen from the
bakery YVES recovered, but no traces of
the parties who entered the store were
found.

have can be dispelled by visit. In fact,
anything in this store can be bought away

Something the City Fathers Are Not
Axvare Of

Editor Morning Nelrs; You were so
kind to publish several communications
advocating clear water, and again in to-
days issue one signed "Robertsville" ask
ing for water (cledr or muddg), that 1
mu st tax your kindness little further.
l have no doubt that the residents of that
locality were astonished when they read
''RObertsYille's" article. Those that have
talked the matter over with the writer
of this think he must be newcomer
one who came to Savannah, bought a
place in Robertsville thinking he was
buying city property, and by paying Big
tdreS had certain rights. Had he been one
of the OId-timers there he would not expect
all such little necessaries as hydrant
water. street crossings, or even pumps in
good order. We being an orderly set
down there don't even want
policemen. except at night, and
then only to see if electric light is burn
ing all right. SsRobertsville' says he viii
take water clear or muddy. If he worked
at the Central Railroad and had to walk
home. he would be glad to have street
crossings. and not so much water, clear or
muddy The city fathers are not aware,
believe, that there is not one Singte cross
ma in the lCh0le Of RObertsUitte or UsctRtty
west of West Broad street to the canal.
Railroad workmen and people going to
church nights and Sundays must put up
with this. If the kind Aldermen of Sa-
vannah would cORdeScend to visit this sec
tion of Savannah they would see that
there is great cause for this grdmDllng,
and by doing their duty, stop it.

1t seems very strange to other dealers
why we can afford to sell so much cheaper
and offer a much superior article to the
public than they do, but when once seen
into the matter it is not very hard to dis
solve. We purchase direct from the man
ufacturers who manufacture nothing but
for best retail trade. We can sell cheaper
because we sell more than others, and are
satisfied with very small profits. Those
who need such as Clothing, Hats or Fur
nishing Goods for this season. will do
well to call on us. as we MUST close out
our entire stock before the beginning of
fall in order to make room for our Fall
Stock. Profit or no profit we will sell the
balance we have on hand.

They withdraw from the Game with
the Browns in the First Inning Dis
satisfied with the Umpire's Decisions
To Return Home This Morning-The
Games Elsewhere.
The interest in the Dixie Brown game
at Augusta yesterday was greater than
II any preceding game. No news was re-
ceived up to O'Clock, aud everybody was
getting anxious to know what was the
matter. Manager Dillon at the Western
Union Office was besieged with in
quiries, and his clerks occupied the
most of their time in answering telephone
calls. The first dispatch was received at
5 O'Clock, saying that the game had ended
in the first inning by the Dixies with
drawing from the field. Very little re-
liable information could be obtained, as
the dispatches were contradictory. Some
said the DiXies were anxious to get out of
the game, having seen from the start that
they would be badly beaten. This, how
ever, seems not to have been the case.
The trouble from the dispatches seems to
have been with the Browns, who were de-
termined that in no way should the Dixies
win the game, and were ready to resort to
any means to defeat them. The following
dispatch to the MORNING NEWS explains
the situation:
AUGUSTA, June 2s.-About 600 people were
present this afternoon at the Clinch Park to
witness the Dixie Brown game. The Browns
won the toss, sending the DiXies TO the bat.
Lewis hit a long fly, making two bases. Fitz-
gerald followed, hitting to kilr0y, who threw
him out on first. Nestcott retired on fly 10
Hasney. and Norton put out the side by fly
to Heard, leaving Lewis on third.
Hull. OF the Browns, got first on a base hit.
Heard followed with a hit to Lewis, who put
him out, and threw the ball to second, Huh
making his base on error OF Monahan in not
touching him, and reached third on wild pitch
Rice got first on balls. Scales struck out. and
Burns batted to Norton. Rice, in trying to
make third, ran against Norton. pushing him
down with his hands, Hull, in the mean
time, scoring. The umpire decided Rice
not out although the rules distinctly declare
him so. Capt. Lewis refused to play further,
as he was convinced from his own observation,
as well as from outside remarks that the Dixies
stood no showing for an impartial game. The
Dixies then withdrew from the field Rice, in
taking first on balls did not do so on the run,
and should have been declared out, but was
not so declared.
The Dixies left Augusta last night, and
will arrive in Savannah this morning.
Their trip, from what can be learned, has
been anything but pleasant one so far
as their relations with the Browns were
concerned. They claim to have been
treated in most discourteous manner,
and that the successes they obtained in
the Clinch games was in the face of I'M
lust decisions by the umpire

An alarm Of fire from box No. Al, about
$3.50 O'Clock last night. was prompted by
the discovery of flames issuing from the
story and half double tenement at the
corner Of East Broad and Duffy streets,
owned by John Williams, an industrious
colOred man. At the time the fire was
discovered there was no one in the house.
Williams was at grocery store about
three blocks away, and one of his boys
was sitting on the steps of neighboring
house talking TO one Of his companions.
The boy said that when he first saw the
fire it seemed that nearly one-half of the
interior was in flames. Some of Williams
neighbOrs succeeded in saving table, a
small portable closet and two or three
other small articles and a couple of blan-
kets. The fire spread rapidly, destroying
about $3.50 worth of furniture and the
houses, together valued at about $3.50.
Williams stated to a reporter Of the
MORNING NEWS that he was employed
as a gardener a short distance south
of the city, and was in his
house for the last time about or 1880
O'Clock, and that he had no occasion to
use a light at that hour, and that none
was left there by him and that he had no
lUed now the nfe originated. lie also
stated that he had buried his wife few
weeks ago; that he had a number of
farming tools and a sugar boiler under his
house, and that now everything was gone.
Ihe reporter, however, ascertained that
the houses and contents were insured for
about 500 in the Southern Mutual In
suranee Company, represented in this city
by T. II. Harden.
Inc Flre department responded
promptly to the alarm and succeeded
in getting stream of water on the
flames, but not until another one story and
half house, adjoining Williams houses
on the north, owned and occupied by Sam
Rogers, was at the mercy of the flames.
Rogers succeeded in saving the greater
portion of his effects, but the house,
valued at about $500, and uninsured, was
totally DESTROYED.

After vainly attempting to compromise
the Gurley case, says a Chattanooga

consented to pay Mrs. Tennie Gurley the
full amount of the damages awarded her
by the courts of the State. The company
agree to pay at once one-fourth of the
amount, and the remainder in four, eight,
and twelve months. The total amount of
the Judgment and interest is about $12,-
744. One-fourth of this has just been
paid, and Major Henry Fink, Col. E. j..
Sanford, and Judge John Baxter are
surety for the remainder to be paid in
three installments as specified. 1t has
been several years since Engineer Dan
Gurley was killed while in the service of
the road. In this case some months ago,
when judgment was rendered against the
the company for damages, return was
made to the court that no property could
be found, all the property Of the company
in the State being mortgaged. Mrs. Cur
