STOLE HIS WATCH.
CHAIN AND MONEY
PROMINENT sRUNsWICKlAN THE
VICTIM OF A SLICK THIEF
IN NEW ORLEANS.
Robbed of His VaIuabIes at a Leading
Ho,eI in the Crescent City-Thief
Slipped in Room While He Was
Asleep.
Asleep.

Fer fear it may embarrass him just
little and that his friends may joke
him just a little too much over it.
The News is not going to mention his
name, but it is such a nice little news
item and such a joke-eXcept to the
victim-that we cannot refrain from
printing it. It's just u little story
of leading citizen visiting a good,
big city. aud being touched.
This prominent Brunswickian, who
returned to the city yesterday, had
been on a several days business trip
to New Orleans. He was stopping at
one of the leading hotels, where he
little thought of robbery, and conse
quently never thought of depositing his
watch, chain, money, etc, with the
clerk when he retired a few night ago
The next morning, however, when he
awoke he could not tell the time of
day, for his watch was gene and behold
he also found himself dead bust
ed in big city. And it is under
stood that it was a right good sized
roll that was HIted." Fortunately,
however, the Brunswickian was not
entirely among strangers and he had
but little difficulty in cashing a check
and ne left New Orleans, and Incl
dentally his watch, chain and money
though he did report the case to
the detectives and the hotel authori
ties before leaving.
During the night a slick thief evil
IDENTIFY entered the room of the gentle
man from the little Georgia city and
relieved him of these articles. He
was greatly surprised the next morn
ing to find that he had been touched"
and he felt the loss of the watch more
than anything else, as it was a very
handsome timepiece and had been in
his possession for many years. The
roll of money consisted CT some twen-
ties, tens, fiyes, ETC.. but the exact
amount In the roll was not stated by
the victim.
AS promised in the first line Of this
story, The News will not divulge the
name of the victim, but will give the
people little chance to guess. 1t

TWO RUNS YESTERDAY
MADE BY DEPARTMENT
But Nelti1er OF Inc BIazes Proved to
Be Very Serious.

The fire department was busy yes
terday morning between 10 and ii
O'Clock, responding to two alarms in
rapid succession, but neither of them
proved to be very serious.
The first alarm was sounded from
box 26 and called the department to
the residence of j. c. Stiles, where a
not water tank had exploded. Very
little damage resulted.
The second alarm was sounded from
box 81. This time a house owned by
Dave Dobekle was on fire, being caus-
ed by q defective ilue, but the blaze
was quiccly extinguisned with a very
small loss.
In responding to Tie last alarm As
si5tant Chief Harrison was slightly
injured, as was one of the horses
hitched to wagon No. l. In going out
y rwioh street bit broke, which
caused excitement among the horses.
One of them fell, throwing Assistant
Chief Harrison, who was driving, TO
the ground. 1t was at first feared
that both Mr.. Harrison and the horse
had been badly injured, but outside
of a few bruises they were none the
worse off after the accident

A VERY ENJOYABLE PLAY.
"The Prince Chap" Seen by Two Al =
diences Here Yesterday.


Edward Peple's pretty little roman
tic comedy, The Prince Chap" with
Elliot Dexter in the leading role, was
the attraction at the Grand yester-
day matinee ana night. Probably be-
cause there had already been two
shows here this week, combined with
the unusually cold weather, the audi
ences were not as large as tle attrac-
tion deserved.
The story is very interesting one,
beginning with the sad ending Of a
mother who begs William reyton. Il
sculptor in London trying to make his
mark, to take. her little 5-year- old
daughter. The sculptor refuses, but
before the mother dies, he agrees. The
little girl appears, and the story con-
tinues with another interesting lit
tie love affair between the sculptor
and rich New York princess" But
all the time Peyton shows his love
for the little girl, and, year by year,
as she advances in age, he becomes
madly in love with her and she with
him, but neither realized it until the
young girl had refused to wed an.
other suitor. Then they made tie
discOvery-that they we're desperately
in love with one another-and the
wedding is arrarsed. There is just
enough comedy intermingled during
the play to make ii enjoyable
Mr.. Dexter, as the sculptor, is an
actor of much ability. Easy Of man.
ner, graceful and big-hearted, he at
or"e wins the admiration of the au-
dience, and should he ever return to
Brunswick he will no doubt be given
warm welcome.
Three young girls are required to
play the role of the little child. Grace
BRAKEMAN, who appears in the first
act as the 5-year-old girl, was as
cute and cunning as she could be
-.-.,! w+a natural III her portrayal of
the role. In the next act Isabelle
men appeared as the child at the
age of s, and she, too, made de-
~ hit in the role.
Others who appeared in the play
We're also good, especially Mabel Flor
ence, as Phoebe Fuckers, the maid
Of all work, and Joseph Travers, as
''Truckman," the faithful servant.

GOLD SPELL OVER?
WEATHER MAN SAYS 1T WILL BE
WARMER IN THIS SEC
TioN TODAY.

The backbone of the cold spell is
broken. At least the weather prog
nosticator promises us warmer wealth
er today, but there was very little
indication of change at an early
hour this morning, when the llercury
went to "a, within five points OF the
low mark reached early Thursday
morning. But 1t gradually climbed and
it Is expected that it will again rest
around the freezing point as soon as
the sun makes It's appearance this
morning.
The cold wave Of the past few days,
however, has caused considerable
damage, mostly to water pipes. Every
plumber in the city yesterday worked
overtime and then not half Of the
bursted pipes were repaired. Dozens
of citizens VINO retired Thursday ror-
getting to let their spigots drip, found
broken pipes yesterday morning. In
all sections OF the city these pipes
bursted and it viii be two or three
days before the plumbers can repair
all CT them.
While the thermometer showed 1t
to be a few degrees warmer last
night than on Wednesday night, it was
really c lder indoors.
There was no wind last night, while
on Wednesday nisht strong gale
prevailed, ard with this there was q
difference OF only a few degrees. At
o'clock this morning the mercury
stood at 2G willie a tt9 s2a-a ho@r
Thursday morning it registered 20 de-
grees.

STILES WILL GO
WITH BEE LINE
POPULAR STEAMSHIP MAN TO RE
MAIN IN BRUNSWICK WITH
LOCAL LINE.
Official Announcement of His Appoint
ment Has Not Yet Been Made, But
1t is Known That He Will Go With
Brunswick Steamship Co.

}. c. Stiles, who has been the
brunswick agent of the Clyde Steam
snip line since the withdrawal of the
Ma9ory line from this pcrt. and who,
1t has been announced, would go to
Jacksonville to be connected with the
Clyde line in that city, will. beginning
tomorrow. be with the Brunswick
Steamship company.
While it has been unofficially an
nounced that Mr.. Stiles will 20 with
the new company. circulars announc-
ing his appointment have not vet
been received in the city and it is not
known at this time in Just what ca
pacity he will serve.
The announcement that Mr.. Stiles
Is to remain in Brunswick will be
gratifying to mis- hosts of friends and
the Brunswick Steamship company
VIII likewise be conn atulated upon
securing such an able steamship man.
He has been connected with the Mai
lory and Clyde lines in Brunswick for
many years and Is considered one of
the best and at the same time one OF
the mcst popular steamship men along
the south Atlantic coast. When It
was announced through The News a
few weeks ago that the Clyde line
would withdraw from this port 1t was
stated that Mr.. Stiles would more
than likely be transferred to the Jack
sonville office, and this news was re-
ceived with regret by his friends.
1t Is expected that circulars from
the Brunswick Steamship company,
announcing his appointment, will be
received in the city within the next
few days.
