B. lianaban's residence was entered by a barglar, but fortunately for the doctor the amount of property stolen is very small. The thief was evidently frightened off before he had litu* to make a good haul, and he wae obliged to content himselt with appropriating the cash foand ia the doctor's packets. a hypodermic syringe was also taken. The thief was considerate enough not to take the doctor's handsome watch, and he very gracefnlly left the clothing, after rifling the pockets, oa the street near tke house. It is not known whether the thief actually #atered ehe room as it was jK?ssilile for him to stand on the froat piaaza and, br usiig a long stick, reaGh the chair on which the clothing wft'a rVIanpr? _ Sneak thieves and burglars hare been getting in a considerable amount of "work ar?nnd town recently and it seems to be a rather difficult matter to put a stop to it. It is very certain that a "horrible example" will be made of th* first scoundrel caught at this sort ot work. The R#v. W. M.

TUTTS Liver PILLS ABSOLUTELY CURE. = ALMOST ELECTROCUTED. Mr. Joseph G-roeschel, of Chester, S. C., who represents Messrs. Bluthenthal & Bickhart, of Atlanta, arrived in Wilmington yesterday from Kinsston, N. C. While at the Hotel Tall, at Hinston, on the 14th Inst., Mr. Groeschel went to his room about 8.30 o'clock and found the wire of an incandescent j electric light touching the floor of nis room. He picked up the globe and i turned on the lighr, and not knowing where 'o place tbe globe, he hung the ! wire and globe oyer a gas chandelier. As he did so he received a terrible shock of electricity that hurled him to the floor in an unconscious condition. Mrs. Stevenson, the lady of the house, was standiug on a door step in the yard, and luckily saw Mr. Groeschel ana heard him fall to the floor. Those who reached the room first found Mr. Groeschel lying on the floor apparently dead, grasping the electric wire in his right hand and unable to turn it loose. He was freed from his perilous position, and a doctor was immediately called. It took some time to bring him to consciousness, and the doctor wa3 occupied considerable time in dressiug his wounuS. The wire had burned its way down through the flesh clear to the bone on the inside cf his right palm, making a terrible wound across the hand from?the little finger to a point between the fere finger and thumb, where he held the wire in his grasp. His lefr hand and face were also badly burned in several places.?Wilmington Messenger. Mr, Groeschel was in Winnsbero Monday and his many acquaintances are glad to see that he is rapidly recovering frem the effects of his injury. Xlie Best Remedy for Flux.

For some time tveo colored women, Mary and Belle Brice, have been making day and night hideons for the residents of the neighborhood in which they live. Reports of the conduct of '* j ~ *ua ^ tnsse women were umue tv iu? authorities, their names were promptly recorded on the little black-list kept by the police, and the force commanded by Chief Gilbert swooped down upon the house occupied by the offenders. The inmates offered no resistance; they were found in bed giving a correct imitatien of women "shuffling off Irs mortal coil", and their soul-harrowing, agonizing groans appealed so strongly to the sympathy of the representatives of the law, that an ormJctins nr?c OTfinwp/l f.hfi flttafik ttiunoww vv*w ? ing forces were temporarily withdrawn. The women played a bold bluff game and won?so Ibey supposed. Chief Gilbert and his associates, however, had their eyes wide open. They have been in the business of running in law-breakers too long to be taken in by a couple of amateurs; so when it w:.s reported Friday morning that Mary and Belle had been inducing mce more in their disorderly p actice , U-'O officers sallied forth dptcrraiucd to make a capture and, in s:>iie of tho fact ill i 'lie culprits gave he-smi'O <> (1 ' song' and dance" about sick iu>"> death, tliey did it. ilai> tva> hulled up first in a onehorse ihat was pressed into service as a "black maria" and safely lodged in the guard-house. Mary has good lansrs, and she usad them to great advantage on the way up. When Belle's turn came for a ride io the black maria she created about eeven separate and distinct kinds of trouble, but after some effort she was quieted down and gently thrown into the wagon The procession then moved off. It wasn't a long procession, and there wasn't any band wagon. In fact, tlie parade consisted ox uujy um float, bnt as Belle seemed inclined to be a Jittle obstreperous, that float represented the majesty of the law (in the person of an oflicer) seated upon the thrown, and it was distinctly imposing. The intendant sentenced each to the county jail for a period of thirty days, but had thein reloaded subsequently on condition tnat they would leave town and stay away for $ix months. They left, and the town is well rid of a pair of disreputable characters. Bears the j* Kind You Hare Always Bought 1 J DEATH OF COL. JR. C. BARKELEY. Charleston, July 27.?Col. R. 0.
