THE RoBBERlEs AT FORT WORTH.
That Fort Worth Is in the Hands o.
Thieves.

lulbNtS,
Fort WORTH, Tex, March 10.-Several
ago Zeyfried's jewelry store was robbed of
diamonds and watches to the amount of
$1,000. Today it was learned that Zeyiried
has recovered from the thieves through
third parties all of the custom watches
stolen from his place, and also portion of
the new goods. In order to get back what
goods he has recovered, Zeyfried had to put
up about $36J, which money he paid into
the hands of third parties. The
value of the goods returned is
over $1,000. Zeyfried is not inclined to talk
He saws: 81 don't think it is safe tor me
to make any statement about the matter,
because the fellows might waylay me and
Kill me " Ilis now thought that the B. o..
Wells $25OO robbery of last night was the
work of the same gang that robbed Zey
fried's house and that an attempt
will be made to return The goods
on the payment of small
parr of their va u. Two rings evidently
dropped by the thieves were returned to
B. G. Wells today. Mr.. Wells says he has
already been approached by man who
stated that he knew who committed the
burgiery and if money would be put uo the
stolen goods could be recovered. Numer.
Gus recent burglaries all tend to the belief
that Fort Worth is in the hands of a
gang ofprofessional crooks.

Finished and in Operation.
The Postal Gable Telegraph Company
has completed its line from Savannah to
Charleston direct by the country roads in
stead of following the railroad. To do this
it was necessary to lay q cable across the
Savannah river opposite the city.
The cable is about three-fourths of an
inch in diameter, the wires being heavily
wrapped and protected by an outside metal
casing. The cable was laid across
the Savannah river from Murphy's coal
wharf to Hutchinson's Island. The line was
carried across the island to Screven's ferry,
where another cable was laid across Back
river. On the South Carolina shore the route
takes up the old Union road, known as the
Union Causeway turnpike. the old stage
coach route of years ago.
It took $500 feet of cable to cross the
Savannah river and 9, 500 feet to cross Back
river.
