CHILD GAVE THIEF AWAY.
Told of the Fine Things Her Mother
Had Stolen,

Anna Brown, colored, was arrested yes
terday by Detective Stark on the charge
of having stolen from Mrs. D. j. Gold
stein a number of rings, including a dia-
mond solitaire. There seems to be little
doubt that the woman is guilty.
The theft took place last Monday when
all the members of the household were
absent. The house was ransacked from
to to bottom, but nothing was taken ex-.
cept the rings and a small amount Of
money. The Brown woman, who is well
acquainted with the premises, was sus-
pected, but there was no clue to the rob-
Der until yesterday when the 6-year-old
daughter of the suspected woman came TO
the house of Mrs. Goldstein and identified
a hat that had been left at the house on
the day of the robbery as that of her
mothers and also, in childish confidence,
spoke of the beautiful things that her
mother had gotten from the house. Close
questioning developed the fact that the
child had been playing in the yard Mon
day and had seen her mother enter the
house through the window, and had also,
so she said, been shown the rings after
they had been secured. The woman is In
the barracks, but a careful search has as
yet failed to discover the rings.

HOSPITAL BUILDINGS SOLD.
Purchased by an Unknown Bidder
for S17.IOO.

The government hospital buildings have
been sold to some individual or corpora
ton, not known here. for $l7,1C0 This bid
is 500 less than that made byA the Isaac
Joseph Iron Company last Tuesday,
which was withdrawn Friday because of
The governments failure to act upon it.
When the government refused all the
bids it received when the buildings were
offered a some six weeks ago. parties
throughout the country were invited to
make other bids upon the property. This
invitation was accepted by the Isaac JOS
eph Iron Company that had been the
highest and best bidder in the first in
stance. Last Tuesday this company put
in bid of 1880, and its representative
here, MIR. Joe Wolff, waited patiently for
action on the part of Quartermaster Cen
eral Ludington.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day pasesd, without MIR. Wolf having been
apprised of any decision on the part of
the quartermaster general In the mean
time an offer that had been made him for
four of the buildings was withdrawn, the
person who had made it having supplied
his wants elsewhere. For this reason, Mr.
Wolf wired the quartermaster general
that he withdrew the bid he had made on
Tuesday.
Yesterday he received telegram from
Gen. Ludington. in which that officer
wished TO know why the bid had been
withdrawn. In reply Mr.. Wolf wired that
he had withdrawn the bid because he did
not care to have it remain open indef-
nitely. In the same telegram he offered
$4,000 for the buildings. adding that this
bid was for immediate acceptance only.
Wishing to make his position in the
matter plain, Mr.. Wolf subsequently call
ed up Gen. Ludington over the long-dis-
tance telephone and told him of the with
drawal of the offer for the four buildings.
AS other parties who would have pur-
chased some of the buildings were grow
ing weary of the delay and buying from
other sources, it was evident, Mr.. Wolf
explained to the quartermaster general,
that the value of the property was becom-
ing less as the delay continued.
Last night the representative of the
Isaac Joseph Iron Company received a
telegram from Gen. Ludington, stating
that he had accepted an offer of $4,000,
and the buildings had been sold at this
price. The name of the successful bidder
was nos given.
Mr.. Wolf feels little hurt at his lack
of success He can SEQ no reason why his
original bid should have been held up for
four days and that the day after it's with
drawal. a lesser bid should be accepted.
He is only comforted by the fact that the
government has lost by the transaction.
and that if the plan was to play his bid
off against that of some party the scheme
did not work.
1t VIII be a matter of some interest to
know who the purchaser of the buildings
is and to what use he intends to apply
them. The government sells everything
now in the buildings and the work of re-
moval will be in itself no small under
taking.

THREE ASSAULTS TO MURDER
Were Among the Police Arrests
Yesterday.

Were Among the Police Arrests
Yesterday.
Saturdays business with the police was
brisk, not only on account Of the number
of arrests made, but on account of the
seriousness of a number of the charges
against prisoners. There were three as
saults with intent to murder, one larceny
and one highway robbery.
G. T. Lockhart, colored, and Steve
Kirkland, also colored, became engaged in
a difficulty on West Broad street. near
Waldburg, and the difficulty ended In a
mutual attack on each other, in which
both were cut, though not dangerously.
Each entered against the other charge
of assault with intent to murder.
Henry Ralph, cIolored, was arrested by
Patrolmen Dyer at the request of Preston
Hunter, colored, who charges him with
having shot him while they were engaged
in a quarrel.
Lawrence Screven, colored last night
in the neighborhood of the Market snatch
ed pocketbook from Ada Black and at
tempted to escape but was captured and
sent in by Detective Murphy.
Julia Brown. colored, was arrested on
the charge of larceny from Lizzie Mcbride
of No. 204 CASTOR street, east
Three negroes were arrested and sent In
by Patrolman Farrell for disorderly con-
duct and fighting in a house on Randolph
street.

the opposing armies will the story of
their heroism live, and ever, on recurring
anniversaries may the Daughters of the
Confederacy be relied upon to deck the
graves Of the noble dead who laid down
their lives at Mana ssas.
Yesterday was the thirty-nnth anniver-
sary of the battle, though it was observed
the day before by the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry, because of the difficulty in get

In the matter of rainfall also this
