BURGLAR CAUGHT IN HOUSE.

Wnen Arrested the Negro Pretended
to BE Drunk.
Henry Daniels, colored, was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detective Wall on
a charge of burglarizing the house Of S.
Seseen, "a Syrian living at Williamson
and Montgomery streets. Daniels was
caught in the house before he had been
able to take anything. 1t is charged that
the same negro entered Seseen's place
about two weeks ago, but outran his pur-
suers and made his escape. When search
ed at the police station a bunch of false
keys were found on the prisoner and his
record will be Investigated by the detec-
tives.
Seseen appears to be unfortunate in re-
gard to burglaries. Only q few weeks
ago his home was burglarized by negro
named Henry Jenkins, who pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to serve three years
in the penitentiary.
Daniels will be given a preliminary ex-
animation by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court this morning. When arrested he
pretended to be under the influence of IL
quor and will probably give that as an ex-
cuse for his presence in the house.

MADAME CARRENO's CONCERT.

Given at the LawtOn Memorial BE-
Madame Teresa Carreno gave one of the
best exhibitions of piano playing at tho
Lawton Memorial last night that has ever
been given in Savannah. Her audience
despite the very disagreeable weather, was
a brilliant one, and also most enthusiast
tic one, but the pianiste could be induced
to respond with recall pieces but twice.
AS an encore to the "Polonaise" she play
ed the Chopin "Berceuse," and responded
to the enthusiastic applause that greeted
her last number, by playing one of her
own compositions.
Madame Carreno's playing is all that
could be demanded by even the most ex-
acting critic. To a strength. viriiity and
intellectually that are frankly masculine,
and a marvellous technique, she adds
feminine grace and delicacy of feeling that
gave TO her interpretations the stamp of
perfection.
No one of the numbers OF her pro-
gramme is a novelty, but it is a safe
assertion that no one in her audience has
hearc any OF the compositions better play
ed than they were last night. The Noe
turne" and the "Berceuse" were gems OF
lcgato touch, and delicacy and perfection

there fondly regarded as a champion. He
had vanquished all the ambitious local
pugilists and was soon in the predica-

unable to nil the engagement, and Jim

act as substitute
Corcoran thereupon ceased training
