BAND OF ROBBERS.
Negroes Work Slick Game on Mer
 chants of Gadsden.

Gadsden, April 29.--(Special. )-An organ ized gang of burglars have been in Gads- den for some time, and they are so bold that they have been stealing goods In bright day light. as well as night.
 The merchants began to miss their goods, and the officers were notified, and a watch kept. They arrested several ne- groes, and search warrants were issued, and the officers began their work, and some eight houses were searched, result ing in finding about $500 worth of goods. It required dray to remove the stolen goods.
 Some of the numerous things found were several cases of smoking tobacco, plub tobacco, barrel of lard, flour in sacks, shoes, meat and many other things. The private mark on most of the property has been identified by the owners.
 The way the negroes operated was for one with a good reputation to secure a position with some grocer or wholesale house, and some other negro was always on hand to help him when extra help was needed. They would steal goods, hide them somewhere, and at night haul them off. So far there are eight behind the bars, and more will be arrested. The off, cers are determined to break up the gang
  shipped away from Gadsden to two diff ferent points. The men have been spotted and 1t is likely that some sensa- tional arrests will be made.
 The float for the Gadsden queen and her maids of honor to be used at the car nival at Anniston is one of the prettiest creations; it is a large swan made on a wagon, and between the wings the seats have been arranged for the queen and her maids. The wagon is covered and draped on the sides and ends, and the large swan Is made of white feathers and Is alto gether a beautiful float.

To Write to Her
Brothers,
Asking Aid For the
Old Folks.

Don't write to my brothers; 1t
would insult them"
Thus spoke the daughter of aged par
ents, who are in destitute circum-
stances, when Assistant Poor Director
Manderbach intimated writing TO sons
of the old couple concerning the cir
cumstances of lheir parents.
The aged couple came to Akron from
Lima last fall Both have passed the
S0th mile stone in the race of life.
Ever since they came TO Akron they
have received aid. During the winter
the poor department has furnished
coal, and a daughter, who is II widow,
has furnished provisions Thus far,
no help has been received from any
one of the three sons, although one
has written, expressing great sym
pathy, for his aged parents, and de
ploring their financial condition.
When the daughter first called at the
Poor Directors office she did not admit
that the poor people, for whom she
asked aid, were ner parents. Not I'M
til several visits later did she acknoM-
edge the truth. 1t seems that the boys
are getting along well, but their wild
owed sister who is obliged to depend
upon her work for support, is afraid
to have the Poor Director write to heI
brothers for fear of insulting them.
Mr.. Manderbachs reply was: "Oh
II would certainly e too bad TO insult
them"
