Hundred Dollars in Papers. 4
CITY MARSHAL HAS AN EYE ON
SUSPECTS.

Friday night or Saturday morn
ing thieves effected an entrance
to the house of Thos. Longstaff
who lives on Sebree avenue, and
after chloroforming Mrs. Long
staff and son, jim, the only oc-
cupants, robbed the house. Mrs.
Longstaif was first to recover
from the effects of the drug and
called to her son several times
to come to her assistance as she
was quite i'll from it. He came
in the room and after doing
what he could for his mother
discovered the room in consider
able disorder.
On making further investiga
tion "a bundle of Miss Lizzie
Longstaff1s clothes were found
tied in a bundle in one corner of
another room, also several cans
Of corn and tomatoes including a
peck of Irish potatoes were
placed in a sack ready for re-
moval. In an upstairs room was
a trunk containing small iron
safe in which was 100000 in
money and papers to the value
Of 81, 10000 representing the
savings of the family for many
years. This trunk was broken
open with a pick that had been
lying underneath the house for
several months and the safe and
contents stolen. City Marshal
Barnett was notified as soon as
possible and is doing all he can
to apprehend the thieves. He
has an eye on several suspects
and is awaiting further develop
ments. On the following Satur-
day night burglars attempted to
gain an entrance to the houses
of Messrs. 0. p. Webb and Dave
Smith but were frightened
away.
Several robberies have since
been attempted and the officers
of Darlington are on the alert,
for these night providers. There
will in all probability be some
thing doing along this line with
in the next few days and start
ling developments are expected.

motive by one Burlington official in

PLANTATION does not explain.
1t is fortunate, indeed, that the train
was running along very slowly, else the
hundred and more passengers would
have been hurled into eternity In a
twinkling. If the tie was laid and
tied there maliciously, and there seems
no doubt of it, the cruel depravity OF
the guilty man or men almost sur

She is the secretary OF the commits

important changes in the laws relat-

should be some provision by which
township or county assistance for IL
bracies in towns may be given in re-
turn for the use of the libraries. She
would also increase the limit for the
