 His Wound Dressed.


 His Wound Dressed. Bristol, March 24.-The local police have succeeded in experimenting the burglars who entered the clothing store of Meder & Go early Sunday morning. As expected, one of the men is injured and he is now under the care Of phy- sician.
 The men were arrested in Terryville. At 3:3O Sunday morning two men ap- peared at the house of Dr Wellington and requested the physician to dress bullet wound. The doctor did so and told the injured man to come to his of flee again yesterday afternoon. When he heard of the burglary, he notified Chief Arms, who immediately went to TerryviMe with two officers. When the two men appeared at the office of Dr Wellington they were placed under arrest They gave their names as Frank Durskioski and John Ousoski. Durskioski has a bullet in his right Leg and was suffering considerable pain. From the two men Chief Arms extract ed a confession. They implicated Frank Kelley and said that he was the leader of the expedition. The officers went to Kelley's bording house and waited until he returned from the Eagle Lock Go, where he Is employed. The three men were then taken to the Bris- tol police station.
 A physician made an examination of Durskioski's wound and found it to be quite serious. The bullet entered the right thigh and is imbedded in the muscles of the leg. Owing to its posi- ton, it has been found impossible to remove the bullet and blood poisoning may set in.

STRENGTH OF FORCE
UNIFORMED MEN WILL SWARM ON
STREETS CHRISTMAS EVE.
HOLIDAY APPROACHING.
POSTMASTER BLUM HAS ASKED
FOR SEVEN EXTRA MEN.

On All Sides Preparations Are Being
Made for Christmas and Christmas
Eve-Letter Carriers and POstuf-
fee Clerks VIII Be Busy-POIice
Officers Always Have Their Hands
Full Christmas Eve-Schedule Ar
ranged Whereby Every Man in
Department Will BE on Streets at
Night.
Although Christmas is more than
two weeks away police firemen, post
office clerks. letter carriers. express
clerks and people engaged in various
other pursuits, are taking a long
breath before the rush begins.
Postmaster Blum has asked the Post
office Department to allow him five
extra carriers and two extra clerks dur
ing the holidays in anticipation of the
rush. This deluge of mail matter be-
gins about a week before Christmas
and continues for several days after
wards. The postmaster says he will
need the services of seven extra men
in order to give first-class service. Elx-
ira men are put on in both the reg
iStry and money order departments.
With the police the holiday season
is anything but a picnic and it is one
time of the year that the uniformed
men dislike to see come around. 1t
means extra work and longer hours,
and they are always happy when the
first day of the year has gone. An
nually there are cutting and shooting
ARRAYS of a serious nature, with a
homicide or two thrown in. These
things are expected by the police and
the officers are not at all surprised
when they occur. They have noticed
however, that they have an easier time
of it when it rains Christmas Eve, and
this is one day that they do not mind
getting wet.
There will be more uniformed men
on the street at one time this Christ
mas Eve than ever in the history of
the city. The entire force, including
sergeants and plain clothes men, will
be on duty from o'clock in the even
ing until midnight. From that hour
until l or 2 o'clock two-thirds of the
force will be on the street, and one half
of the force will remain on duty during
the remainder of the night. Under
the schedule that has been arranged
there will be at least twenty-seven
uniformed men on Broughton
street until midnight, and flf-
teen on duty in YamacraW,
There will be men enough on hand to
warrant the placing of four at each
crossing on Broughton street, or one
man at every corner. Such an arrange

PIANO RECITAL AT
LAYTON MEMORIAL.
Given Before sympathetic Audience
by Edward Baxter Perry.

by Edward Baxter Perry.
Before a fair-sized and appreciative
audience, Mr.. Edward Baxter Perry
gave a lecture recital in the Lawton
Memorial last night under the aus
pieces of the Westminster Presbyterian
Church. The programme was a we'll
selected and varied one. Each number
was prefaced with a short sketch of the
story on which it was based or the
mood that it was intended to exemplify
and these lent additional interest to
the programme.
Mr.. Perry has been heard in Savan-
nah often, and is favorite with lovers
of music. His playing last night show
ed the same sympathetic touch and
delicate phrasing that have always
marked his interpretations. The pro-
gramme in full was:
Allegro from Sonata, OPP. So (Bee-
thoven).
Turkish march from Ruins of Ath-
ems beethoven Bubinstein).
Des Attends, Op. u (Schumann).
Traumeswirren, OPP. II (Schumann).

these were the Ritz der Waulkuren,

ment would have prevented a murder
on Broughton street last Christmas
Eve night.
Fire Chief Mcguire has not yet made
any definite arrangements to provide
a fire patrol for the business section
of the city during the Christmas holi-
days, but is awaiting the action of
City Council as to what will be done
toward eliminating the regular Christ
mas Eve disorder on Broughton street.
If an ordinance is passed by Council
to put an end to the usual custom
which makes life unpleasant in that
particular section of the city on the
holiday, Chief Mcguire will not deem a
fire patrol necessary. In case no ac-
ton in this line is taken by City
Council the fire patrol will be estab-
lished on Christmas Eve and a hose
wagon, with a corps of fremen, will
keep a close watch out in the crowded
section to prevent fires.

The most strenuous efforts were
made by Cribs attorneys to secure a
communication of the death sentence, and
political influence was brought to bear
on the case, but without avail. AL
though the petition to the Prison Com
mission was signed by over thousand
citizens of Coffee county, it is under
stood that the sentiment of the COM
munity is against him, not as a man,
but as a criminal
The condemned mans attorneys have
requested a hearing before Gov Ter
rell, which, if it is granted, will neces-
state an additional respite, but as the
insanity plea, which was introduced in
the testimony heard by the Prison Com
mission and which it is the purpose of
the attorneys to lay before the Cow
ernor, it is highly probable that the
execution will take place at Douglas
on the day after tomorrow.

The next change in the force of the

There is little if any doubt that Mr.,
T. s. Noise. now superintendent of the
first division, with headquarters at
Savannah, will be given the place. No
announcement to this effect has been
made, but everything points to such a
selection.
IN the first place, Mr.. Noise has been
with the system for some twenty years,
five of which have been spent in his
present position. He is familiar, it is
stated, with all divisions of the line
and, through his position in this city
must of necessity be more or less IA
miliar with the affairs Of the general
superintendent Office Again it has
always been a rule of Capt. Kline's to
promote the men already connected
with the system rather than seek for
new men elsewhere. all of which, add
ed to the recognized ability of Mr..
Noise and his fine record in his pres
ent place, make it almost certain that
he will be given the place.
This change will then leave the Of
flee of the superintendent of the first
division open, and it is probable that
this will also be filled Immediately
