A BURGLAR by PROFESSION.
Barney BOwden's Five Years in the
Pen Didn't Stop His Thieving.

Barney Bowden. the negro burglar ar
rested a few days ago in Macon for burg

penitentiary for five years by Detective
Wetherhorn for burglarizing the store of
r. V. Nottingham, druggist at Broughton
and Habersham streets. Bowden was re-
leased a month and a half ago and imme-
diately returned to Savannah He is sup
posed to have committed half a dozen
burglaries since that time. He has con-
fesSed to three.
on the night of April Il, he entered the
house of MI. George Goebel No. 81 VALID
burg street and stole a lot of jewelry on
the same night he robbed the house of DR.
J. NJ. Johnston, but did not secure any
thing Of value. He then left town for a
few days. but came back again and on
April 2, got INTO the house OF Mary Town
send cOlOred, and secured a gold watch
on the night Of April "a, he robbed the
house of Mr.. J. IL. Fox, No. 129 Barnard

LOOKING INTO THE COUNTY MAP.
The Grand Jury to Take Action in
Regard to 1t.

The grand jury Of the superior court will
probably take some action with regard to
the county map. 1t is well known that
some OF the grand jurors feel that such
a thing as a county map is badly needed,
and it is also fact that they do not
want to spend any very great amount
of money in order to complete it.
The grand jury has a committee. which
is now looking into the matter, and il
may be that some plan for completing a
practical county map, which will cost
much less than the present estimates will
be suggested.
II is well known that the matter of the
map has been brought prominently to the
attention of the grand jury by DR.. 7. J.
Charlton, one of the county commission
ers, and II IS understood that the matter
Is now being looked into, with a view to
completing map much more cheapIv
than the estimates that have been ar
rived at and one that will be of as much
service as is necessary for the purposa,
in hand.
