A thief played havoc with clothing, table

of the house is occupied by +. II. Pearson.

aud the window raised. Clothing was scat
tered all over the floor and out in the yard ::
the tableware was scattered about, and
some OF it was out in the yard. She woke
her husband and told him that the house
had been robbed. Mr.. George Rice's
family. occupying the upper floor, was mott
led, and an investigation was made.
closet door in the dining room was
open, and from it good deal Of clothing
was taken. A new overcoat and suit be-
longing to MIR. Pearson were missing, and
some of his wife's clothing Nearly all of
the contents of the closet was taken out and
strewn over the floor on the rear porch and
in the yard, A set of silver teaspoons was
missing. The spoon-holder and other table
ware were also missing. Some of it, how
ever, was found in the yard.
fine silk wrap which Mrs. Pearson was
making for friend was also taken. The
trousers which were stolen were worn by
Mr.. Pearson the day before, and had some
money ia the pockets.
Mr.. Pearson and his wife spent the even
ing before with friends, and they did not
return until IL O'Clock. When thew got
home Mr.. Pearson undressed in the room
adjoining his bedroom and left his clothing
in the room. Neither he nor Mrs. Pearson
woke during the night aud they OVERSIGHT
themselves in the morning. 1t was sus-
pected THAI they had been chloroformed.
but that is hardly probable
None of the windows in the dining-room
or kitchen were securely fastened; they did
not have even stick over them, and il W as
the easiest matter TO enter the house. The
supposition is that the thief saw Mr.. Pear
son when he undressed aud hung his cloth
ing in the closet, aud when the family had
retired he raised the window opening into
the dining-room from the porch and en-
tered. None Of the doors were locked, and
the table was in the center of the room. It
was not difficult matter to strip the closet
or to rob the table
1t was o'clock before Mr.. or Mrs. Pear
son woke, but Mr. Rice, occupying the
upper floor, went out to work before 6
o'clock. He did not discover ANYTHING
wrong. When the occupants of the house
found what had been stolen from them they
put the detectives on the case, and every
house in the lane was searched, but no trace
OF the stolen articles was found

AT THE THEATHR.

Annie Pixley Rival of Emma Abbott
In Savannah Peoples Hearts.
With one or two exceptions, the audience
which saw Annie Pixlsy play "22, Second
Floor" last night was the largest that has
boon in the theater this season.
Last year Miss Pixley had the play here,
and gave a Saturday night performance.
but it takes even stronger attraction than
Miss Pixley TO fill the theater Saturday
night, and there " as not more than two
thirds house. Last night the STANDING
Room Onlyp card was hung out before
the curtain went up, and people were
glad to get inside the door and find even a
place TO stand. The galleries were packed
to running over. The audience was Just
such a one as Miss Pixley PLAYS before
nearly everywhere she gees.
''22, Second Floor" is one of the most
amusing comedies Of the day. In it Miss
Pixley is as charming as she is in the
"Deacon's Daughter" In fact, it NAV be
said that she is seen and heard at her best
in the dual role as the twin sisters, MRS.
Ellis aud Miss Featherstone.n As the for
mer she is a married woman with strong
domestic tendencies and a hearty dislike
for the stage, and as the latter she is u light
hearted burlesque actress of the London
Frivolity."
The play is a comedy of errors, based
upon the close resemblance of these two
Characters. Miss Pixleys company is a
company OF artists. Her support leaves
nothing to be desired.

another colored constable, after persistent

he claims TO have been resisted in the dis
charge of his duty, and went back without
his man. Mr.. Kuck, however, went out to

Green has filed charges of resisting legal
process against T. J. Gilbert, II. Kuck, Jr..
and George Kuck, and they have given
bond for their appearance at q preliminary
examination to be held By Kelly at 10
O'Clock this morning
The unusual precedent of sending a colored
constable TO arrest white man and take
him TO the country before a colored magis-
trate is exasperating to the saloon-keepers.
and the warrants issued for obstructfne
legal process does not tend to lessen their
Indignation, Mrs. Kuck being also under
bond charged with the same offense.
Justlce Kelly IN talk with MORNING

he has no white constables to send after

ssry, and to arrange for publ sale Of lots
