ladies very much annoyed to keep

berry has grown so far over the pave

is to look after such things will walk
up the avenue some dark night with
a silk hat op, and profit thereby.

William Southall, an old colored
man who has for many years been an
industrious dray driver i'm this city,
this morning made affidavit before
Justice McAllister, charging some of
his relatives with theft of $50 of his
hard earned savings, which he had
always kept in his house double lock-
ed in an old army chest. Nearly all
of the money was in silver, though
alongside the 500 was sack contain
ing something over 800 in gold coin
which was not taken. Mr.. South
all says he has, since the death of his
wife, let part of his house to Annie
Taylor, Sine Chase, Harmon Ross
and Bette Logan. On going to his
work in the morning he always locks
his part of the house.
Returning yesterday afternoon he
found several little things about the
house disarranged, and on going to
his chest to get some money to pay
for load OF wood just delivered, dis
covered his loss. The lock had not
been picked or broken, but the screws
holding the hinges of the lid had
been removed but had not been
screwed down closely after being re-
placed.
A search warrant was issued by
Justice McAllister permitting the
search Of Anne Taylor's part of the
house and the money will probably
be found. The defendants are all in

II London is the metropolis OF the
land of fogs, there is much consolation
to be found in the fact that in spite
of the smoke and its fogs it is
not only one OF the healthiest cities in
the world, but it is growing healthier
every year, says the London News. Ac-
cording to the official statistics for the
quarter ending June last. our annual
deaths are only at the rate of 16 per
1000. If we could eliminate from the
calculation some over-crowdad and no.
toriously unhealthy districts the figures
would. of course, drop considerably.
Still more remarkable would our sani-
tary condition appear if the area were

in which so large a proportion of those
who are by day ''in populous city
pent" are ortunate enough to dwell.
