BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Negroes with Wagon Were Carry
ing Away Iron From Foundry.

Negroes With Wagon Were Carry
ing Away Iron From Foundry.
In broad daylight and with the own
er of the property looking at them, two
negro men attempted to steal wagon
load of iron from Kehoe's Foundry
yesterday morning. The attempted
theft was one of the boldest ever re-
ported at police headquarters.
Later when Detective julius Stark
arrested Jack Taylor. Marshall john
son and Josh Savage. three negroes well
known in police circles, it developed
that several wagon loads Of old iron,
valued at several hundred dollars, had
been stolen from the foundry. Quite
a quantity of the stolen metal was To-
Gated during the early afternoon by
Mr.. William Kehoe, who first detected
the thieves.
1t was the very holiness of the plan
that made ii a successful one, and but
for the fact that Taylor became fright
ened. it is doubtful if it would have
been positively known that the iron
was being stolen. Mr.. Kehoe noticed
street wagon loading with old iron in
the foundry yard, but attached no spe-
cial significance to it. Several of his
men were at work in the immediate
vicinity of the negroes who were load
ing the wagon. and he had every rea-
son to suppose that the scrap had been
sold and was being carted away for
the purchasers.
The foundryman had occasion, how
ever, to go into the foundry yard, and
started in the direction of the wagon.
Immediately Taylor ran and made his
escape. Savage did not get away, and
when spoken to by Mr.. Kehoe explain
ed that he was only employed to help
load the wagon. He declared that he
would go at once and locate Taylor,
but failed to return. In their anxiety
to make their escape the negroes left
the horse and partly loaded wagon be-
hind and police headquarters was
promptly notified. The case was placed
in the hands of Detective Stark and
an accurate description of the men was
obtained. The arrest of Savage and
Taylor was made and IL became known
that other expeditions had been made
and that Johnson was implicated. His
arrest near the City Market followed.
The prisoners will be given a prelim-
mary examination by Recorder Myrick
in Police Court.

BRILLIANT AUDIENCE
HEARD CAMPANARi.

Before a brilliant audience that quite
filed the Lawton Memorial. Signor
Giuseppe Campanari appeared under
the auspices of the Savannah Music
Club last night in the first of this
seasons artist concerts. and scored a
veritable musical triumph.
Though this was the first appearance
of the artist in Savannah, many of his
audience had heard him in other cities,
chiefly in the Grau Opera Company in
New York, and still others knew of him
through his worldwide reputation, but
despite this they were a little cold at
first, and not until the programme was
more than half finished did the audi
ence begin to show an appreciation
commensurate with the merit of the
numbers.
The programme consisted Of three
groups of songs. as follows:
Part 1-"Obstination" (Fontenailles)
Yeux Bleux" (Massanet); ISL Mes
vers" CHahn); Love" (Godard); EN-
barguez vous" (Godard).
Part Contemplation" (SeppillD;
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
NamberD; my Heart and T. (Kor-
bay); die Mainacht" (Brahms); "An-
athena" (Ficlitz).
Part S-"Voice Ira Campi" ODE
Leva); "Serenade" (SeppillD; Alba
damore" (Kronitz); "Lasciali dir
(Quaranta); "Bandiera" (BotolD: IN
vano" (TostD.
These representing French, German,
Italian and American composers were
of wide range of style and brought
out In full all the splendid lyric and
dramatic qualities of the singer. The
applause became more and more pro-
nounced after each number until after
"Anathema" had been sung the au-
dience refused any longer to be sat
isf1ed with a mere bow on the part of
the singer, and insisted on an encore
In the third group he had again to
give recall piece, but the enthusiasm
reached its hight only after the regu-
lar programme had been finished and
the singer gave the Toreador's song
from Carmen" singing 1t with a fine
vim and swing and a dramatic inten-
slty That brought out in full every
possibility of this popular composition
ana reused the audience to an enthu-
slasm such as has been seldom
equalled at a concert in this city.
IL was so hearty and prolonged that
the artist could not but respond again,
e1IIu ILLS llIIle ne sang the Aria from
The Barber of Seville" and sang it
as delightfully."- as he had the former
number. Even then the audience lin
gered, hoping that Signor Campanari
might be prevailed on to sing again.
but in this they were disappointed.
Inc singers accomDaniments were
played by Miss Emma E. Coburn. 1t
was her capable work that made the
concert in part so complete a success,
ana the more credit is due her for it
when 1t is known that she had but one
rehearsal of the regular programme.
and had not seen the Aria at all un-
til 1t was placed before her at the
piano.
Miss Coburn's artistic work brought
her a great deal of praise. not only
from many of the audience. but the
highest praise from Signor Campanari
himself. That gentleman, who spent all
OF yesterday here, is charmed with
the city, and has also congratulated
the Music Club on its choice of artists
for the next two concerts, Lillian Blau-
welt and Nine. Fanny Bloomfield Zeis-
Ter.
