ArLANTA.s FOURTH OF July.
Negro Thief Plays n Bold Game of
Grab on an Excursion Train.


Grab on an Excursion Train.
Atlanta, Ga, July 5.-The glorious
Fourth was observed here on the fifth in
toerably inert style as compared with
the spice and ginger of a few years ago.
OF course there were excursions from the
country in every direction, and on every
road, but the city in the main was quiet.
An amusing event of the day was the
tmpudence of a black thief, who, in the
center of the city, under the Broad street
bridge. dared to ply his trade. He was
big, black and brawny A train of about
a dozen cars was pulling out for West
Point. II was crowded to the gunwhales,
so to speak, with excursionists, most OF
them black. He chose his time apd Ieap-
ing upon the car, tore the hat from the
head of another African and jumped off
again.
The robbery was witnessed from the
bridge by fifty persons. This did not seem
TO disturb the thief. Cody and deliber-
ately he unbuttoned his shirt and placed
the hat inside, and then walked off at his
leisure. He knew the eXcursionist would
not dare TO quit the train to recover his
headgear
The negro was largely in evidence TO-
day, but not as he used to be. The Fourth
of July in the south is no longer what it
was. Up to this hour nobody has been
killed or even seriously injured. 1t has
degenarated

lady had by this time got far enough
along so that the stream struck her
squarely between the shoulders. Then
followed a series of ~. ?????s and the
