band has a dry goods store az No. 5j
Oglothorpe avenue. east. was the sole oa-
cupant Of a light phaeton that was pulled
by a thick-.sot little pony. The animals
size was no drawback 20 its spzeI now
ever, and the pace at which 30 Tore down
Drayton street was fearful one and
maze the strongest shudder at the fate
thar seemed Impending over the woman
who chung 20 the reins though power.ess
TO bring The hard-mouthed beast 10 a stop
The pony took fright at ihe corner Of
Oglethorpc avenue ana Drayton. and the
straight stretch to bay street was gone
in an Incredibly short time. 1t was mad

which O young man was mounted The

overtake and catch the runaway, out The
pony was 100 uch for him.
AZ the corner OF Bay street and Draw

TWO BURGLARS ARRESTED,
Nabbed by ScuIIy for Breaking and
Entering the store of 4. Sack.

Entering the store of 4. Sack.
Win Davis and Nose Slngheld, two ne
groes, were arrested by Detective Scully
at O'Clock yesterday evening for the
burglary of the jewelry store of A. Sack.
at All Brougnton street west. The bur
glary was committed about a week ago.
early in the evening, Just after the store
had been closed and locked
The negroes broke in the door and en-
tered and helped themselves to what
suited their fancy. Fortunately for the
jeweler this was not a great deal, three
gold watches only having been taken. 1t is
surmised that they thought they heard
some one coming and ran before they had
completed their evident purpose of clean
ing out the store.
The burglary was discovered next morn
ing by Mr.. Sack, who notified the police.
Detective Sculy was put in charge of the
case, and by shrewd work succeeded in
recovering a part of the plumber Yes
terday he finished his work by arresting
the two criminals and sending them into
the barracks. The watcn that was still
missing was found upon the person of
Singfield when he was arrested by the
detective.

BACK AT HIS OLD TRICKS.
Robert Mack Arrested for Attempt
ing to Enter a store.

Robert Mack, a colored crook, with a
fondness for breaking windows and the
property Of others, was caught by Police
man Tulis last night at his old tricks and
arrested. This time it was the store Of
Edward Lovells Sons that he was at
tempting 20 break and enter.
Tullis was walking quietly down Brough-
ton lane, between Whitaker and Barnard
streets, when he noticed the negro in the
rear OF the store of Edward LOveHs Sons,
and for q time watched him at work He
was equipped with a large fra gment of
rock and with this was hammering at
the iron shutters. So absorbed was he
IN this that he did not see the policeman
until the latter was well upon him and
when escape was impossible. TuAis
sWooped down upon him, captured him
without struggle and sent him in TO the
station house. The negro confessed that
II was his intention 10 burglariZe the store.
Mack is an Old offender and has been
sent to the penitentiary and the chain
gang al various times, for various offeuses
and various terms. Some time ago he
was convicted of the crime Of infantcide
and served term for this. He has brok-
en- many a window and the detectives are
in the habit of keeping an eye on him pref
~ constantly. His method of entering IA
store or dwelling, through a broken win
dow, is Well known to them and they are
on the lookout for evidences of mis- handi-
work. This time he will probably be Civ
en- another opportunity to renew old ac-
Qaaintance with the friends he has made
at the coal mines

NEARLY KILLED A HORSE.
Reckless Driver Ran the Thrill of His
Wagon Into a LuckIess Beast.


Wagon Into a LuckIess Beast.
A sickening accident, a collision between
two teams that might have resulted fata--
ly,occurred last night at Henry and Dray-
ton streets. the result Of a reckless dlsre-
gard of the rule to keep 10 the right.
A coiored man with a horse and buggy
belonging to Mr.. Daniel d. Grimm, was
driving out Drayton street As he turned
into Henry toward Bull white man in a
street wagon going in an opposite direc-
ton on the left hand side of the street
ran into the horse and buggy. A thil Of
the street wagon struck the horse in the
breast, and tore its way into the flesh sew
eral inches, making an ugly wound from
which the blood gushed in a stream as the
sharp thiH was pulled out. As soon as
he could get loose from the tangle the
driver Of the street wagon whipped up his
horse and drove on. The driver of the in
jured horse and buggy shouted to
stop, but he replied that he would not.
One of the men started in pursuit and
chased him as far as CASTOR street with
out overtaking him.
The wounded horse was quickly stripped
of the harness, and Dr. j. A. Crowther,
near whose residence the accident oc-
Cured, temporarily closed the wound with
a packing of bandages. The driver at
tempted 10 lead the wounded horse home
The buggy, which was badly broken, was
left by the side of the street.
The accident was clearly the fault of the
driver of the street wagon, who was going
a lively speed, and who, in turning into
Drayton street from Henry, turned his
horse close to the curbing on the left
hand side. The driver of the horse COM
ing in the opposite direction could not
avoid the collision.

TO BRING OUT OTHER FEATURES.
Alderman williams StiII Interested
in Exchange of Bull street Lots.

in Exchange of Bull street Lots.
Alderman Williams said yesterday that
there are other features of his proposed
exchange of Bull street lots, which were
the outcome of the reversal of his report
by Council, which he win bring to its al
tention at the next meeting. He believes
there is yet an opportunity to have action
taken which will best conserve the inter
ests of the city
An erroneous impression of the affair
seems TO have been drawn by some, ow-
ing TO the circumstances under which the
report recommending the exchange was
reversed The Morning News never con-
s-dered it necessary to state that the
transaction by which it was proposed to
exchange city property to Mir j. deBruyn
Hops was admitted to be fully upright on
the part of all concerned. 1t was consid-
cred that Alderman Williams and Mr. de
Bruyn Hops are TOO well known 10 re
quire this statement. Some are said to
have been under the impression that Coun-
ell regarded the proposed trade with sus-
picion. On the other hand the board be-
Heyed the trade a good one for the city,
but il did rot care to he doing business
of this kind with an emp.oye. Mr. de-
Bruyn Hops exchanged property with the
Meldrim board, as stated, but he was re-
quested to do SO by an alderman who
desired the property for street opening
purposes.
If the property in question is auctioned
by the city, there will be much interest
in the prices it brings. Alderman Williams
claims he will be vindcated if the lots
do not bring profit equal to what the
city would have made had his recommend
alton been adopted.

The Masculine Girl Embarrassed.

Ladies who affect masculine shirts.
short-cropped hair, felt hats, stand-up.
collars and the other articles of wear
ing attire usually the property of the
other sex must not complain if they
occasionally suffer Inconvenience and
disconcerting mistakes occur. An in
stance of the kind comes from Man
chester. At the Victoria station a por-
ter was accosted by the occupant of a.
irst-class carriage with the inquiry,
''How long will this train waltz" The
individual addressing him was arrayed
in a felt hat, ulster coat and cravat,
and wore shortly cropped hair, and the
porter naturally imagining male pas
senger was seated in the carriage, re-
piled: You'll just have time to get a
drink, sir, but you'll have to look
sharp" The young lady, for such the
masculinely attired one was, blushed
considerably at the unpleasant impu-
tation of unfeminine bibulous propensi-
ties thus cast upon her, but her fellow
passengers, as may be imagined, seemed
rather to enjoy her embarrassment

A Polite Burglar.

She was dear old lady and she was
spending the summer in quaint old
seaport town of New England. One:
morning everyone had gone out, leav-
ing her alone in the house. 1t was not
long after that that she heard noise
in an adjoining room and, going to in
vestigate, saw a man ransacking d bu-
reau drawer. What most women would
have done, if they had not been fright
ened into immovability or into giving
a scream at the awful realization that.
there was a burglar in the house.
would have been to hurry away and
hide until the dreadful man was gone
But that was not what this wonr.x, did.
She stepped Immediately up to him and
said: II am all alone in this house and
l want you to go right away" The
strangest part of the story seems to be
that the man did go. He had already
taken some things and those he kept,
but he did not wait to look for others.
1t was not conscience that drove him.
away, as he kept what he had, and it
could hardly have been fear. 1t is a.
standing conundrum in that family
why that burglar went away, and no,
good reason seems to be found unless
it was politeness, and he did not like
to refuse lady's request.-N. Y. Times.
