Burglars broke into the store of
Llnehan & Co., at Greystone, Mon
DAY night and stole about $50. 90 worth
OF goods. We learn that most of the
goods were found in the woods back of
| w. 5. Parker:s farm, near town,
yesterday. There is no clue SO far as
to the identity of the thief or thieves.
We were pleased to have a call last
Friday from Rev. B. F. Long, editor
OF the Warrenton Record. He came
up to identify his watch which was
stolen from his sleeping room on the
Sunday night previous, together with
some clothing and other things, the
watch having been sold here by two
negroes who were captured after
burglarlzlng the house of Mr.. w. Il.
Estes in this place Monday night. Mr..
Long readily identified his watch as
did Mr.. Estes the one stolen from him
and thus the evidence which certainly
convicts these bold burglars and puts
their necks in danger of the halter is
full and complete.

Fire atYoungsville.

We learn from Mr.. E. B. Freddy, Of
Youngsville, that a cotton gin belong
ing to the Alliance stock company,
and the grist and saw mill Of Mr.. j.
NJ. Winston, was destroyed by fire on
the night Of Wednesday, Nov. LIST.
About rs bales of cotton were burned,
Mr.. Freddy himself losing two bales
and $50 bushels of cotton seed. The
cotton was owned by farmers in the
community. The gin and mills were
operated by the same machinery and
everything is total loss as there was
no insurance on the property. The
origin Of the fire is unknown.

BURGLARS CAPTURED,

Monday night Of last week two ne
gro men entered the chamber of Mr..
and Mrs. W. T. Estes, OF this place,
and stole several articles consisting of
an overcoat, watch, hat, pocket book,
&c. Mrs. Estes awoke in time to see
one of the burglars as he escaped
through the window. Mayor w. w.
Rowland took the matter in hand and
with Officer Bob Burwell arrested two
men on suspicion last Thursday who
proved to be the guilty parties. The
negroes claimed to hail from Norfolk
and gave their names as Sonny Baxter
and Will Jackson. Mr.. Estes recov-
cred everything except the small
amount Of money. One Of the men
had on a pair of pants and vest stolen
from Rev. B. F. Long, of Warrenton.
Mr.. Longs watch was also traced up
by Mayor Rowland and returned to it's
owner. The burglars had hearing
before his honor Mayor Rowland last
Thursday and were sent to Jail without
bail to await the next term of Vance
Superior Court. Altogether it was a
piece of fine detective work done by our
worthy and wide-awake Mayor and re-
fleets credit upon his skill and shrewd-
ness in this direction as we'll as his execu-
tive ability and we'll earned reputation
as fearless, aggressive, fair and i'm
partial chief magistrate.

DEATH OF BISHOP BROOKS.

Bishop Phillip Brooks. who died yes
tsrday morning. was one OF the most
brilliant pulpiteers OF his time. He Will
be remembered in history chiefly for
the ornate beauty of the regal church
editices erected for his occupancy in
Philadelphia and Boston. with which
his name will DO associated when the
memory Of his intense pisty and i'm
pressive eloqusnce shall have faded
from the minds of men. His oratory
Was of the kind that breathes original
isy IN every syllable. He copied no
teacher; he was his own masterpiece.
He was dashing, inpstuous. irresistible
IN the flow of words; but calm. pro-
found, immovable in the logo which
they were used to frame. He held his
hearers by the charm OF his polished
English snd the depth of his precise
reasoning. Other preachers and
bishops have occupied . more prom
Inent place than ne, but in the world
o. theology. in the school of his choice.
he was star Of the first magnitude,
whose refulgcnce was softened by the
close proximity Of many other such
stars. he wrote several books which
have met with a wide sale. and before
he was elevated to the bishopric was in
active demand IN the lecturs field. lie
Was q great good mana noble ex-
ample of piesy.

SEX IN ART.

There has been, and there still goes
on, much talk in regard to what IL
termed sex IN art, but nobody among
the GLIB speakers on the subject has
ever accounted for one fact-a very
puzzling fact, too, if their dictum must
be accepted as iucontrovertible truth.
1t is matter Of record that not one of
the various women writer's VINO, within
the last fifty years, have in turn made
their work famous over masculine sig
natures was suspected by any reviewer
of being a woman until she or her
friends allowed her identity to become
known to the public at large.
This was true in the case of George
Sand, then of Currer Bell. George
Eliot and others in England, and lately
of bevy of American women, Octave
Thanet among them.
A striking feature in the productions
of oil these women Is the truth and
fidelity with which their male charac-
tiers are depicted. Their power in this
regard cannot be denied by the mar
rowest-minded remnant or prejudice
to be found among the fossils Of the
male sex, any more than any one can
dispute the fact that many of the hero
ines even of great men lovellsts are
either utterly impossible creatures, else
60 bloodless and faint that they are
N ere shad ows, often as distorted or I'M
natural as those which q Pickering fire
casts on q neighborIng wall.

Another natural character is re-
moved from the world of activity. The
harvest Of death among statesmen,
publicists. preachers and jurists is rich
with Americas brightest minds. The la
test one to fall is Justice Lamar Of the
Z upreme court of the United States. He
died last evening - quietly, appar-
entity As psinlessIy, rs it falls to the lot
Of men to die. The dead justice was
one Of the better types OF southern
chivslry and manhood. When the war
broke out he went with mis- state into
the throes of secession. When the war
ended be Was among the first to accept
the defeat of the south 90 . true bless
sing. and If he has ever harbored resent
ment bis uniform manner of speech
never betrayed it. The story of his
life and of his successive political for
tune is told In conjunction with the
news of his death. He was one of the
most finished scholars among the
galaxy of southern great men. HIS
legal sttainments were exceptionally
high IN character. and whenever he
brought his knowledge of law to bear
upon given case, his opinion is in.
yariably ramified with comprehen-
sive digest Of leading decisions covering
like legal problems. In the prepara-
ton Of papers and addresses he de-
voted painstaking care, and Al the
products of bis pen are remarkable for
their "besuty of conception and dig
nifty of expression" He was strongly
preJudiced democrat, and mis- elevation
to high places by Mr.. Cleveland was =
recognition Of his sturdy political
views.
The vacancy created by his death
will probably be left open until Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland shall he inaug-
urated, little moro than . month
hence.
