First Report OF Robbery.


COLUMBUS, March 2S.-A package
containing $1,000 in bills, part of q
shipment of $4,000 in currency from
the Third National bank of Columbus
to the Citizens & Southern Bank, of
Savannah, was stolen from the South
ern Express company last Thursday.
1t was not generally known until last
night that the theft had occurred. a
number of detectives got busy on the
case with such success that today it is
understood, although not officially an
ncunced, the guilty party, an employs
CT the Southern Express company, has
been apprehended and has confessed,
and they money will probably be recoY-
cred. No arrest has yet been made,
although the employee referred to is I'M
Ger surveillance.
The shipmenets of money consisted
Cf five packages, each containing S.
600, and all wrapped in one large pack
age. The money was turned over by
TIE Third National Bank to the South
EN- Express company last Thursday
morning, and left for Savannah Thurs
day at 1 o'clock over the Central Of
Georgia railway by way of Macon The
package was placed in sack and was
sealed in the customary manner.
Friday morning the Citizens 4.
Southern bank telegraphed the Third
National bank that the shipment of
currency was $4,000 short, one of the
packages having been distracted. The
seal was intact, but the bottom of the
sack appeared to have been ripped and
reserved. The Savannah bank re.
ported the loss to the express COM
pany officials and similar notifications
were given the express people at this
cid of the line
Pinkertons were called in to assist
the express company detectives on the
work with such vigor that last night
the situation was practically cleared
Up. The express people and dotec-
tives are bending their energies at this
hour to recover the money and it is be-
lieved that they will do so. On &C.
count of the peculiar circumstances
the express officials have no statement
to make at this hour, but it is believed
tLat within another twelve hours the
entire situation will have been cleared
up completely

Wednesday, March 20, produced by the
Vitagraph Company, under the direc-
ton of George D. Baker, that Edith
Storey will achieve her desire to por,
tray character that is absolutely at
variance with any she has heretofore
essayed. Miss Storey must be one ia
vored of the gods. as she no sooner
expressed a wish to be seen on the
Gcreen as dancer than Mr.. Baker,
who happened to be passing and heard
her, assured the Vitagraph star her
wish was to be granted in THE Price

similar to that of the historical dancer
who had an apartment adjoining the
"cyal palace in Brussels, and will give
Miss Storey an opportunity of display
ing that versatility that stamps her as

IN MEMORY OF EARLY CLOD
Eel TER.

Twas the middle of August,
When a lad SO dear;
Took his flight with the angels,
To heaven near.
He. was called away,
From the ones he loved best;
But he was glad to go,
To his happy home Of rest.
He is waiting for his loved ones.
In that happy home of love;
When they meet they'll part no
never,
In that happy home above.
They laid him deep beneath the
sod.
| And bis home is now with God;
Where there's no sin or sorrow
known, IS
| He is near the white throne.
Yes, they loved him,
Now they'll miss him;
And he's gone forever more,
But perhaps they'll meet in Heay-
On that bright and golden shore.
