ROBBERY MYSTERY SOLVED.
Negro Porter at Depot Charged Will
Stealing Trunk.

'N'-
Stealing Trunk.
Gadsden, August 19.-The mystery
of the robbery of the Southern depot
at last been solved by Chief White,
assisted by two detectives of the road,
It will be remembered that a drum
mer's trunk containing corsets, and a
negro school teachers trunk were
stolen from the Southern depot one
night several weeks ago, and no trace
Of them could be found
The officers arrested dozen ne
groes, but later released them for want
of evidence About a week later the
remains Of the drummer's trunk was
found On the bank of Town Creek
where the negroes had burned it.
About this time the negro school
teachers trunk disappeared from the
depot. Chief White and the detec-
tives got on the trail of the robbers,
landing jim Knox, the porter, in jail
A portion of the dresses, wraps and
other wearing apparel - the school
teacher was recovered from where it
was hidden away by the robbers. Jim
Knox being the porter at the South
ern depot, carried the keys, and after
the agent left he gave the word to his
assistants in the crime and they came
forward and hauled the trunks off in
their wagon.
The officers think that there is a
regular organized gang of these ne.
groes and they hope to be able to
break them I'D.

ski, were formally presented at the
Y7ldiG palace yesterday
Notwithstanding the warning which
Russia addressed to the Bulgarian gov
ernment, 1t is generally believed here
that the Russian naval demonstration
in Turkish waters will dangerously
encourage the Macedonians who, it is
asserted, will interpret Russia's action
as being the first step toward inter
vention in their behalr.
The insubordination of the Turkish
troops is regarded as being one of the
greatest dangers of the present Bal
kan crisis. The lack of discipline
among the soldiers is marked. It is
found necessary to humor them in or
der to prevent conflicts between the
soldiers and their officers.
For instance, a regiment, while on
the way from Uskub to Monastir de.
manded that the train be stopped at
Salonica for IL hours instead of for
the scheduled half hour, SO that the
soldiers might amuse themselves in the
town. After futile endeavors to pre-
vail upon them to allow the train to
proceed, the officers were obliged to
grant their demand The killing of

Besides the Rost0oysh incident the
