ABOUT THE CITY.
Robbed on Davis Street, Near
Rose.
FRANKS BY THE BURGLARS.
fhey Secure Several Hundred Dol
lars Worth of Jewelry in One
Place.

1t appears that all of the robbers have
not yet been landed in the County Jail.
Two of them operated last night near the
corner of Rose and Davis streets and
their victim was E. L. Humble, an en-
ploye of the railroad company. He
had just returned from trip and was
proceeding to his room at No. 25 Davis
street, with an umbrella in one hand
and his gripsack in the other. Just AZ
he reached the vicinity of the corner of
Rose and Davis streets he was suddenly
confronted by two men, one of whom
pointed large revolver at his head and
demanded that he give up his valuables.
Mr.. Humble had fortunately divided
his money, putting $75 in gold
in one pocket and 50 in silver
in the other. lie thought of this and
was about to offer resistance when the
man with the revolver struck him on the
forehead, stunning him slightly. He
possessed enough presence of mind.
however, to turn the side pocket with
the SO toward them and when they had
succeeded in extracting that sum the an.
pearance of some other parties on the
street frightened them and they ran up
the street. One of them had handker-
chief tied over his face, but Mr.. Humble
thinks he can recognize them. He has
two ugly cuts on his forehead, but re-
CARDS himself as fortunate in not losing
the gold.

BROOKS BURGLARS.
They Seem to be COnsiderabiy Nm.
merOus,

They Seem to be Considerably Mn.
Whether it is because the Hon. j. Ma
rion Brooks wears the outward sem blance
OF man of means, or whether it is be-
cause some evil genius guides his feet in
dangerous paths. the deponent saith not
but certain it is that the festive footpad
and the blithesome burglar have marked
him out as prey worthy of their atten-
ton. If one attempt to hold him up and
two successive burglaries of his house
were not sufficient to demonstrate this, .
second holding-up and third burglary
should lay all doubts to rest.
The former occurrences were duly
chronicled at the time of happening, but
the second holding up of the honorable
gentleman, and the third burglarizing of
his house were made public only yester-
day, when Mr.. Brooks applied to the
Mayor for the right to carry concealed
weapons as mems of defense. It ap-
pears that as Mr.. Brooks was vending
his way homeward night before last he
was interviewed en- route by gentle
man OF the road, who ordered hands up
and proceeded to take an inven-
tory OF the monetary effects on
MIR. Brooks person. Fortunately for the
robber there was no gun in his victims
pocket, and resistance was rendered still
the less desirable, as Mr.. Brooks had
learned by his former experience that it
was well not to carry any wealth in his
clothes when tramping homeward
through the night. Therefore he yielded
graciously to his would-be despoiler's
designs and laughed at his discontinue.
On parting he warned the nocturnal
prowler that he would be prepared to
meet him on an equal footing the next
time he passed that way; hence the per-
NIT to carry gun.
The last burglary of Mr.. Brooks prem
ises took place on Thursday night, when
thieves entered the house and carried
away the children's savings, his wife's
ring and several minor articles of more
or less value. After one or two visits
from these gentry, a family does not
usually leave many valuables around
within reach, and this was the case at
the Brooks mansion.
A HERALD reporter, who happened to
see Mr.. Brooks after procuring his per-
NIT to carry gun, can bear testimony
that he is making use of the prerogative,
for he exhibited weapon to the gaze Of
the inquisitive news-hunter that looked
formidable enough to make the heart of
the stoutest burglar quail.

over Three Inches Fall I'm Twenty.
Four Hours.
The rain continued at intervals all day
yesterday and at o'clock last evening
set in heavily and continued to q late
hour. There were no reports of damage
Of serious nature, although it was
stated that in some cases on the hills the
sidewalks had been partially washed
away, but beyond this the injury in no
place was very severe. Several holes
were reported in some of the streets and
number Of pedestrians complained
that they never could tell the right
places to put their feet. More than one
was seen who had gone into hole over
the tops of his rubber boots. The river
had not risen to any height at midnight.
1t was repsfted that it was not more
than nine inches in depth ct the levee ON
the west sbank. Up to noon yesterday
the fall for the twenty.four hours was
reported as follows: Signal Service sta
ton, Wilson Block. 3l5 inches; Ger
main Fruit Co., 2.77; Southern Pacific
railroad, S02 inches; q. w. BuRton's,

Another case Of burglary was reported
last night. Robert Adams, who resides
at No. l13 Boyd street, reported at the
police station that his house had been
burglarized between and Z 80 o'clock
in the evening. At that ho1r no one was
at home and the burglar or burglars en-
tered the side door and ransacking the
bed room managed to find ladies' gold
watch with long chain attached, solid
gold ring and gentleman's gold watch
and chain, the whole valued at about
two hundred dollars. There seems to
be no clue to the burglars, who had left
the house before the return of the occu-
pants.
DIR. E. G. Buell. reports that some one
stole his umbrella from house at the
corner Of Eighth and Fort streets last
night. He left it in the hall and some
individual appropriated it to his own use.

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
IIELESA, Ark, March lo.-The race for
the different State offices is becoming quite
interesting, and the aspiranis for the differ
ent places are making more thorough
canvass than has been witnessed in many
years. Every county win be visited and
personal canvass made. The two candi.
dates for Secretary Of State, the Hon. y.
II. Moore, the present incumbent, and
Mai. $. l.. Black, Of Monroe county, and the
Hon. Wood l.. Thompson, the present In.
cumbent, and candidate for reelection as
superintendent OF public instruction, have
been visiting the city for the purpose Of
looking after their political prospects.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-03-20

by different law-abiding citizens of Little
Rock. Saturday last the case came up be-
fore County Judge Martin, and today he
sat down on the management in style
that will be more eilectual than case of
yellow fever. He ordered that their place
of business be closed at once, or else he
would proceed TO fine and imprison those
engaged unlawfully in It's prosecution in
this city. In less time than it takes to tell
IL, every vestige OF 'stock" was removed,
and the "ofiice" put in order for session
OF the Y. Nj. G. A. Three drawings day
have heretofore been crowded with anx-
ious, expectant people with "more
brains than money" and as the numbers
were marked down on the drawing-board,
the looks of disappointment which took
possession OF large majority OF the crowd
would puzzle the ablest cartoonist to de-
pict. But the Association" is gone now.

A MApMAN,s CRIME.
Failing to Murder HIS Wife, He Kills a
Man.

Man.
DENVER, Col, March l9.--The insane
jealousy OF Charles Sweighart, a German
about forty years OF age, was the cause OF
a tragedy about noon today, which resulted
in the murder OF Kreiner and the suicide
OF Swoighart. The latter was divorced
from his wife two yeais ago in this city,
since when he has been residing in Utah.
lie returned from there this morning and
went TO clearinghouse, kept by his for
mer wife, three miles from the city, and
demanded breakfast. The woman re-
fused, saying her attorney advised her to
have nothing TO do with him. lie imme.
diately drew revolver and fired three
shots at her without effect The woman
ran screaming from the house, Sweighart
following her. She jumped into hack
standing in front OF the door, in which
the man had driven TO the house. The
driver put whip TO the horses and
drove rapidly away, but not before the in
sane man had fired three shots into the
carriage neither Of which harmed the
woman. lie then returned 10 the house
and opened fire ON Charles Realm and
George Kreiner, two boarlen who had
entered the house. Realms right arm
was broken and Krcincr received n ball
through the temple and died instantly.
Sweighart then pointed the revolver at his
own head and sent ball crashing through
his skull, scattering his brains and bones
all over the room. The murdered man
had boarded with the Swcighart family for
ten years and the opinion Is that the latter
thought improper relations existed be-
tween kreiner and ,Ain. swcighart, which
so worked upon hIs mind that Il drove him
10 the deed. Tho woman denies that any
relations Of the kind existed between
them,
