ladies who had just retired at the home
of Mrs. d. L. p. Keith on Washington
street were startled by hearing the Stats

A telephone message was hastily sent to
police headquarters and Chief walters and
an officer responded. A thorough search
failed to reveal any clue to the party
who frightened the young ladies'. One of
the number of the latter recalled having
noticed a yellow negro In passing the
house late In the afternoon act strangely,

Stolen Goods Recovered.

Last night raid was made by the po-
lice authorities of a house In the eastern
portion of the city occupied by Francis
Hawkins, a negro woman. The woman,
with George Daniels, Moses Brown and
LOWE Burden, were arrested, and will be
tried by the mayor on Tuesday morning
on the charge of receiving stolen prop
erty.
The officers secured several pairs of
shoes, number of suits of clothes bolts
of ginghams and dress goods. crockery
and hardware. and it is claimed that these
have been from time to time thrown from
trains on the Southern railway as they
were entering the city. The house of the
woman has been suspected for some time
and the officers have been waiting an OPP
portunity before making the raid. The
time seemed ripe last night. and the wis

results. The mayor and the police de-

among the negroes, but despite the fact
that many O those who are guilty are
