laws without being punished for their Of

and held off in the hope that he wouldn't
have to adopt extreme measures. The
saloonists mistook the leniency for license,

Electric Machine.
A countryman who had been celebrating
the glorious Fourth at Tybee after the most
approved style paralyzed the electric fan
apparatus at Fried & Hicks restaurant,
where he went on his return at night for
supper. Going into the wash room to clean
up lie proceeded to pull off his coat and
hang 1t on the ectric machine which runs
the fans, mistaking it for the hat rack.
The coat got tangled up in the belt which
dropped of the pulley, aud the machine
stopped with bang and all the fans ceased
to vibrate.
Proprietor Hicks rushed in in dismay,
thinking the dynamo had exploded, and dis
covered the country man coolly hanging
his hat on top of the machine and preparing
to wipe his face on the belt. 1t took
Mr.. Hicks half an hour to get the machine
started again, during which time he made
various expressive remarks to the effect
that these Internal countrymen would
never learn anything
The countryman wanted the restaurant
to pay for his coat. and Mr.. Hicks told him
to present the bill to the electric light CON-
panY.

end S25O IL Bonds.
4 bold burglary was committed on Bryan
street. Sunday night. which will put the
owner Of the property stolen to considerable
Inconvenience. but will profit the thief
nothing for his daring.
/ Julian Schley's Office, No. ll6'3 Bryan
street. was entered through a transom open
ing into q hallway, and the safe was opened
and robbed Of several LIE insurance policies,
I $50 in city Of Savannah bonds and gold
watch, family heirloom, belonging TO Mr.
. Schley's brother.
The burglary was not discovered until
/ the Office was opened yesterday morning
None Of the occupants mad been In it since
Saturday night. AID it is not known what
time between then and Monday morning
the burglary was committed, but as parties
passing the office on Sunday noticed nothing
wrong, it is believed that it was committed
Sunday night. Mr.. Schley thinks that the
thief was well acquainted with the premises
from the manner in which he entered aud
left and that it was not a professional, but
probably a negro, from the bungling man
ner in which the work was done
An entrance was effected through the

been blown or broken open in
any manner. The sub-vault was torn out
and carried off, and the papers in the safe
were scattered over the floor. The vault
contained all tie papers and articles that
we're taken. The insurance policies are Of
no value to any one but their owners, and
the bonds are registered in Mr.. Schley's
name and cannot De negotiated without his

eye of professional is evidenced by the fact
that the keys 70 the large safe in
the office were ia the smaller safe, and
with them he would have had no trouble
in going through the large safe. These
keys were found lying on top OF the small
safes. None Of the desks in the office
nor anything except Mr.. Schley's safe were
touched.
The thief replaced the transom through
which he entered, and. moving desk
which was against another door leading into
the hallway which fastened with spring
lock, made his exit there. closing the
door behind him. He then went back to
Henry g. Ganahls office in the rear of Mr..
Schleys office, and finding the door IN
locked. went in and appropriated Mr..
Ganahls shotgun.
The office of the Chatham Real Estate
aud Investment Company, in the same
DulIdlng, was also entered, but nothing was
disturbed there. Detective Hanley has the
case in hand and expects to recover the
stolen property.
The transom windows which afforded en-
trance 20 both offices were fastened, but
we're forced, the screws which hold the fast
enings being torn out of the woodwork or
broken of. After opening the door Of Mr..
Sohley's safe the woodwork inside was
pried out with coal chisel and a stove
leg The safe is an old-fashioned one, and
opens with a big fiat KEY.
