BURGLARIES AT ABBEVILLE.
Several Were Probably Committed
by the Same Thief.

Abbeville, Ga, Jan. 22.-The dry goods
stores of T. Gottleib and c. A. Caruthers
and the grocery store of A. T. Baker were
broken into last night and a small guam
tity of goods taken from each. No at
tempt was made to burglarize the safe
in either place, and the robberes seem
to have all been perpetrated by one per-
son.
Some young men, who room over Bak-
er's store, heard the burglar when he fore
ed an entrance into that place, and. wait
ing on an upper balcony until he came out,
one of them fired two shots at him, with
what result is not known, but as he drop
ped part of his plumber one of the shots
may have taken effect.
About the same hour some one, proba-
bly, the same thief, attempted to enter the
Methodist parsonage, but was frightened
away. He was trailed to-day by a blood
hound from the parsonage to place
where some tramps camped last night.

the American Association of Pilots, is here

ed by Mr.. DAILY of New Jersey, whose pur-
pose is to take the pilots of the country

that the effort to overthrow the present

Senator O'Brien, who is one of the most
active factors in Florida politics, says he

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 22.-The police
force of Louisville through four of it's Of
d,ers. defended itself vigorously tonight
asainst the charges of interference at the
November elections which have been
brought against them by the Republicans
capt Krakel, Lieut.. Wickham, Capt
Wright and Lieut.. Ridge were the officers
and all gave practically the same evidence
They declared that orders were issued be-
fore the election to the members of the
police force to interfere in no way with the
election and that the orders were carried
oct in good faith.
There was, they declared. no reason why
the militia should have been called out
by Gov. Bradley, and no particular reason
why any extra policemen should have been
sworn in, as there was no disturbance
at any time on election day. Each OF the
four officers declared that in his individual
opinion the presence of the militia in the
armory deferred many people from going
to the polls.
on cross-eXamination all of them declar-
ed that they did not know the name of
any person who was so deferred
E. l.. Mcdonald of Louisville testified
Of the unrest and anxiety in the city of
Louisville just prior to the election, and
said it was due chiefly to lack of public
confidence in the police, this condition
having arisen from the attitude assumed
by the police at primaries held in June.
The attorneys for Mr. Goebel objected
strongly 10 the Introduction of any evil
dence touching any election matters prior
10 the regular election on Nov. T. Chair
man Hickman sustained the objection, and
Col. Breckenridge, for the Republicans,
asked leave to make an avoWal that the
cOntestee desired TO show that the alleged
lack of confidence in the police was the
legitimate result of former experiences.
This avowal, he asked, should be made a
part of the report, which the contest
boards are to submit later to the Legisla-
ture. This was granted.
Mr. Mcdonald stated in his evidence on
Saturday that certain members of the
Honest Election League of Louisville"
OF which he was one of the organizers had
seriously considered the advisa bility of
carrying weapons to the polls to protect
themselves, but had later given up the
idea.
