tempt TO relieve Adrianople and its
garrison OF 10000 men, while at the
same time holding the Bulgarians on
his left flank.
The rumors that Bulgarian troops
had reached the sea are unconfirmed.
Zekh Pasha is gathering the rem
nants Of his army at Monastir to meet
the advancing Servians and the allied
Bulgarian column. 1t is thought he
may make another Plevna of Monastir
and prepare himself there for a LONG
siege
Ths failure OF the former sultan,
Abdul Hamid, to arrive at CONSTANT
nople, whittier he was being removed
from Saloniki, seems to confirm the
report that the railroad between those
two cities also has been interrupted.

the Servian victory over the Turks It
Veles was accomplished by the caval

Police Sergeant Reassures Lady
When Burglar Comes.

Friday morning about three clock
Mrs. r. ID. Pitts was aroused by
someone trying to enter the house.
The lady was alone at the time,
her husband, who is a travelling
salesman, being absent, upon COM
mercial trip, and naturally became
very much frightened. The would
be burglar futilly tried the front
door, also several of the windows.
Thoroughly frightened, the lady went
to the phone and called up police
Headquarters. Upon getting an an
swer to her call she told the SER
geant at the station that someone
was trying to force an entrance in
to her house The reply came that
there was no one at the station TO
send out and that she "had better
call up some of the neighborsi
In the meanwhile the burglar,
who had given up his first efforts
to gain entrance to the house re-
turned and renewed his attack. This
time he tried the rear doors. For
tuately he again failed. Mrs. Pitts
again rang up police headquarters,
and renewed her plea that an off1-
Ger be sent out. This time the ser
geant at the desk told her that
there was still no officer there 10
be sent out, but advised her to
go to some neighbors and remain
there until day. The lady sat alone
in her home from then until day,
badly frightened and afraid to act
upon the desk sergeants advice
"to go to a neighbor's."
It is understood that Chief or
Police Dow Braziel will file charges
against desk sergeant W. G. Hopson
who was on duty at the station on
the night in question, at the meet
ing of the board of commission
ers tomorrow afternoon and ask
for his removal from office.
When seen by an Ardmoreite re-
porter this morning, Chief Braziel
said that this was not the first case
of the kind, that on at least one
other occasion help had been ask
ed from the station and that no ef-
fort had been made to call a pa
trolman or notify him. Il am held
responsible by the people for this
neglect of duty" said Chief Bra
ziel,' and i am going to take this
matter IN with the board of COM
missioners and place the blame
where it belongs"

open weeks engagement at the

best companies that has been playing
the southern circuit this season. They

best that money can procure, Messrs
Joiner & Finney, managers of the
Dome, have secured first class or
chestra which will furnish music
throughout the week. While this is

yet the management will adhere to
the scale of popular prices to which
all can accommodate themselves-l0,
Is and 20 cents.
There are twelve people in this
company and every one is an artist
no sticks or dead wood to be found.
The bill tonight will be From the
