GRAND LARcENCY CHARGE
 AGAINST NEGROES

Henry Pitts, Ed Bailey and Frank Kitchens, negroes, were tried yester- day afternoon in the Recorders court on the charge of grand larceny. They were each bound over on a bond of $500 each.
 These negroes were arrested during the past week on a charge of having burglarized freight cars of the Sea board Ar Line railroad. Numerous articles, including a large number of pairs of shoes, were obtained, which were in part recovered by the police.
 The yard of this railroad appears to be the favorite rendezvous of the thievinE element of the city. In ad- dition to the cases of burglary cited above in which the Seabord Air Line was victimized, there have been several others which have not come to trial. Julia Hutchinson, alias Julia Jackson; and Albert Jackson, alias Will Johnson were arrested early Saturday morning by Officers Hammond and Curtis on the charge of suspicion. After working on the case the officers unearthed evidence tending to show that these two were connected with a recent robbery of a car of the Seaboard Air Line railroad. Accordingly the charge against the man was changed to burglary and grand larceny. that against the woman to receiving and concealing stolen goods
 It is alleged that Albert Jackson took from a car thirty-nine pairs of shoes valued at sll7. and that the woman abetted the crime by conceal ing the shoes. Part of the goods said to have been stolen were recovered. The trial of the parties will be held within the next few days.
