ROBBED A BARBER SHOP.
Thief Got Cash and Fourteen Razors
of Fine Quality.


By means of keys the barbershop of
Peter G. Leist, at No. IA Drayton
street, in the Provident building, was
burglarized sometime night before last
and besides SO. 20 in cash, twelve or
fourteen razors We're taken.
The robbery was reported at police
headquarters yesterday morning, and
Sam Screven, a negro barber. was ar
rested by Detective Murphy for the
burglary. Screven denies his guilt and
none of the stolen property has been
yet recovered. The circumstantial evil
dence against the accused. however. is
strong and he will be arraigned before
Recorder MNrick in Police Court this
morning.
The keys to the place were in the
possession of Sam Ebbs. a negro boy
employed by Leist. When the robbery
was discovered yesterday morning.
and 1t was ascertained that keys had
been used to effect an entrance. Ebbs
was suspected. The boy stated that the
night before Screven called at his
house and borrowed the keys to the
the place, saying that he wanted to
get a coat out. He went away and
later returned with the keys.
1t was discovered that Screven had
not taken his coat away, although he
admitted having gone to the shop for
that purpose He attempted to explain
to Detective Murphy that after he
went inside he discovered that the coat
was not soiled and changed his mind
about carrying it away All of the
razors stolen are the property of Lest
and several belonging to his customers
were left behind. The fact that the
thief knew seemingly, which of the
razors the proprietor owned. is look
ed upon as strong point against
Screven, who has been in an extremely
nervous state since his arrest.

Remedy.

A few days ago negro bounded into
the city dispensary with cord tied
tightly around his arm above the ell

times its normal size. He had dis
mounted from jaded mule which he

following story:
Il was cutting bushes about seven
miles out on the White Bluff road and
had put one hand down to grab a short
bush when moccasin leaped up and
nabbed me. There wasn't no snake
bite remedy in that neighborhood, and

old mule. That mule amt no record

WENT DOWN TO DEATH.
Freight Cars Jumped Track and Me-
gro Was Instantly Killed.

The derailing of two cars of an At
lantic Coast Line freight train near
the Gwinnett street crossing yester-
day morning resulted in the killing of
an unidentified negro. No one could
be found who knew the negro, or who
could explain by whose authority he
was riding on the train.
The unknown negro was riding on
one of the cars that jumped the track
and fell to the ground with the cars
on top of him. Death must have been
instantaneous, and the unfortunate
man was crushed and mangled. So
far as it is known he did not utter a
sound as he toppled over with the
cars, and when his body was extricated
from the wreckage It was mashed and
bleeding. The remains were viewed by
Coroner Keller. who decided that no
inquest was necessary. The body was
turned over to an undertaken and
buried in an unmarked grave.

A QUESTION OF POWERS.
MIR. Harden's Deputy-C1erLs' Bill
Settled MOOted Question.

The bill authorizing the clerks of the
City Courts to appoint deputy clerks.
which was introduced in the House by
Mr.. Harden, and passed by the Sen
ate, needs but the signature of the
Governor to become a law. The prime
purpose of the bill is the definition of
the duties of the deputy clerk.
The passage of the act was induced
by a misunderstanding which has long
existed in the City Courts in the state,
the power of the deputy to perform the
functions of the clerk having been re-
peatedly impeached. BY the provis-
ions of the act the deputy is required
to take the same oath as does the
clerk, and is vested with the same
powers which the clerk has.
The provisions of the bill are made
retroactive, all acts heretofore per-
formed by the deputy Clerk being de-
clared valid.
