W Jenkins WHS entered 1 b'V t.urgl?irs Sus/KT mor. log and a lar/re quantity of goods .-'tulen. The oarglais turned everything upside; down end ?ca?'erec goods ts ali directions They were caref'ii to tn-.ke ?. ?:er>ral assortment, j.cd the ai-pes. ateo of tb-; e;ore iodicstes that ti<-y were not hurried, r>n* tock si! the time tbey wanted to pick out just such anicies se they wanted. They took jewelry, h*ts, shoes, fane, toilet soaps, socks, stockings, pants, tobacco, can goods, etc , miking their selections from *.l r^arts of the store, not even the show windows escaping hts ravages Things arc so badly mixed up that Mr. Jenkins cannot make a reliable estimate of the auiount or value of the goods stolen. The burglars effected an entrence by break? ing the glass transom over tbe Dack door and knocking off the iron bars across toe opening. They placed two empty boxes against the back door aod climbed through the broken transom. They fiist made au unsacceasuif attempt to enter tbrougb tbe transom over the side doer in tbe rear of the store but after breaking the glass could not break the iron bars. They used a heavy iron bar to break the transom, knocking the iron grating loose from tbe door frame. An Attempt was also made to break into F. B. Grier's store at tbe side door opening on Republican street, but it failed, although the bolt as the bottom of the door was broken and the inside hasp of tbe lock wes forced loose from tbe dcor. The heavy bar across the door held firm and the burglars gave up the attempt The marks on the door show plainly tbat they made a deter? mined effjrt to force tie doer and mus: bave made censiderable noise. This door ?3 ouly fifty or sixty feet from Main Street in full view of auy one passing the corner of Main and Republican streets, for tbe electric light at the corner illuminates that part of the street with the brilliancy of the noonday EUU. It is supposed that the burglary was com? mitted between 3 ana 4 o'clock Sunday morning, for Policeman Weeks says that he inspected the back doors at 3 o'clock and found nothing wrong but shortly after 4 o'clock when be made his round ba dis? covered that Jenkins' store had oeea entered. Hunter Bell and George Davis, both color? ed, were arrested this morning on suspicion At a preliarary bearing before Magistrate Wells to-d?y Bell was discharged and George was sent up to the higher court. Ke was afterwards released on $200. Last fell I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at first it was a slight sirain and would soon be weil, but it grew worss and the doctor then said I bad rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hard? ly gel around to my work. I went to a drug store snd the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50-cent bottle cared me entirely. I now recommend it to ali my friends It is for sale by Dr. A. J. China.

E Melton the owner of tbe cattle together with his brother and the man who helped bring tbe cattle herc, were also in the city awaiting Miller's arrival. Mr. Melton says that Milier went to see bim representing that be was buvine. cattle for Mr. W. B. Boyle, and offered $43 for three bead that he showed bim. The cattle were sent here in ?charge of ?ir. Melton's brother and a negro mao with instructions to carry them *ack borne if Mr. Boyle did not pay j the $?8 for them. Miller met tbe men in ! cnarge of the cattle, end directed them to Harby'8 lot where the cattle were pat ap. Mr. Melton claims that he did not sell the cattle to Miller, but sent them cn the offer of tho price from Mr. BOT Is ; and the men who brongbt the cattle ray that Miller did not buy or pay for tbem. Miller claimed tbat be paid tbe negro for tbe Cattle, and Soding that be had Ion money, he took the offrr of $40 from Mr. McMacus and sold him the cattle. Mr. Wolf, a lawyer from Orangeburg, ar? rived on the Augusta train Thursday after? noon and succeeded io effecting a settlement satisfactory to all parties. Miller's uncle, who lives at Spriogfisld, Orangeburg County, interceded in bis behalf and agreed to pay tbe costs, ko , and on the plea of Millet 's ?ou'h-be beicg scarcely a man. and this baner bi3 first offence, he begged that the prosecution ne stopped Mr. McMar.us received hi3 $40, and the cattle were tnrseci ever io Mr Melton, wbicb satisfied them ; and M tiler drew a check on his uncle for the costs, and trie ched: being j endorsed by Mr. Wolf, Mirier was released from custody. - wim>.?o.^ii m. - Lewis Larkins Captured Lewis Larkins, who has been evading arrest for some time, and fer whom a reward was advertised by the Governor, cn account of bis assault upon Stephen Bradford, was captured Monday afternoon by Deput?

Pried. Rev. Dr. Brown's Sermon. The sermon of the Rev. Dr. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, before the South Carolina Co-Educational Institute, and our people generally, on Sunday moruiug last, was a remarkable one and a very delightful one. Presi? dent F.N.K. Dailey, of the Institute, with his usual wonderful and telling energy, had added, apparently, a hundred ordinary chairs to the fixed opera chairs, and had built up an amphitheatre of benches in the gal? lery. Consequently the whole vast j and brilliant audience was com? fortably seated. Dr. Brown is notor- j iously an original man as well as a | learned one. He is also a supreme- '?? ly quick and witty man, and often ; dangerously satirical. He is further- I more a splendid word-painter and an j accomplished dramatist, or rather j actor. This latter word may seem a strange one to apply to a preacher of : the gospel, but it is really a pi ty that more preachers of the gospel have not the gift. When Dr. Brown : painted the picture of old John the : Baptist, bare and ragged, "with a ; leather girdle about his masterful j loins," in the magnificent and lux-j urious audience hall of the palace of j Macheiras, what harm was there i that he acted the scene as weil as . painted it in words? For really he was aware that he was acting. And so when Saloma took the platter j with John's head on it to her mother, Herodias. And so when the man who had been bed-ridden for forty j odd years took Satan by the hand and led him t<> Calvary and pointed <>ut to him Jesus hanging on live cress. Dr. Brown's ;<-xt was the 19th, ?otb. 21st, 22nd and 23rd verses . of the T.th-chapter-of Sr. Luke. Fiis sermon was a nuble, earnest. valuable oliv -;ind intensely original. Kven : his most uncultivated hearers were enchained. And >tii! it seemed to us he said or inferred that John the j Baptist died discontented willi our SM vio,- am! bitter over the latter's seeming neglect <>: li i m.
