through the winter this city has been
visited by gang of burglars, who have
until now been able to defy the police.
On Saturday night Nicklis's large cloth
ing house was robbed of about $4,000
worth Of goods. Detectives Sheperd,
Mack, and Morgenstein were given the
case, with instructions to follow it and
get the men and goods. They did both
to-day in very clever way. They
discovered that a man giving the
name of Long had rented the
shop in the rear of Nicklis's store,
and in the sawdust there they saw
marks of boxes and of hurried packing.
At the Erie depot that day they over
hauled the goods packed in boxes and
trunks, marked Ito Chicago" Two
of the detectives followed the boxes
and the other the trunks. and in Chi
cago to-day they arrested George Clay
ton and John Burns. two Of the finest
workmen on the road. They found all
the goods, recovered the cracksmen's
implements, and also found all the
leather taken last week from tanncries
here. Ii is confidently believed here
that through these two men large
amount of property will be recovered.

A Great Discovery Of silver in Georgia.

For several weeks past assayists of
Boston and San Francisco have been
pursuing Investigations in the Cohuttah
mountains of northern Georgia. A spe-
cial from Dalton says: They have been
making their tests with an electric ma
chine, and have traced vein of silver
$50 feet wide, which extends entirely
through the mountain, distance Of
eight or nine miles. They represent
Boston capitalists who have extensive
mines in Nova Scotia, Colorado, aud
California, and state that the Georgia
mines are ten times more valuable than
they ever before assayed. The assays
have run as high as so per cent, and
they state that 100000, 900 could not
buy the vein they have tested. An
extensive smelter will be erected at
Dalton. Great excitement prevails
throughout North Georgia over the
wonderful discovery.

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
In the Semi Weekly Dispatch Of jan

ing an account Of an " Amish we'd
ding Ny curiosity has been excited
TO know what is meant by Amish."
I have searched the encyclopedia for the
word, and can't find it. Please ex-
plain. W.
IThe word Amish, or Omish, is used
to denote the Hooker Mennonites. The
general doctrines of the Hooker Men
nonites accord with those OF the other
sections Of the sect, except that they
are more simple in their dress and man
ners and more rigid in their discipline.
The name Amish, OF Omish, is derived
from Jacob Amen, distinguished
preacher, who in the latter part OF the
seventeenth century began preaching
the Mennonite doctrine in Switzerland
and Germany.-Dispatch.I
