Wilson Dick, a horse aod wagoo aod two bales of stoleo cottoo were cap cred io tbe outskirts cf the city betweeo 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, bot Dick's confederate, Jobo Brooks, Euade bis escape. It waa by the merest eccident tba: the policemen got oa the track of the thieves and they deserve credit for the promptness with which they acted, fer otherwise the thieves would have escaped with the cottoo. Policemeo Weeks weot down near tbe depot to look after a drunk man reported to be asleep under a box ear, and arter waking bim aod finding that be was not drunk enough to be arrested, bad started to return to bis toat, when a oegro mao came ronni og across tb* lots and told bim be was lookiDg for a policeman. This oegro stated that be bad j'ist seen two oegro men with two bales of cotton on a one-horse wagon oo tbe old abandoned roadway of tbe C. S. k N. going toward Mr. Graham's farm, and that their accocot of their presence there was suspi? cions. Mr. Weeks hurried no to the goard boose aod calling Policeman Berwick to bis assist? ance armed themselves with rifles and set oat in pursuit of the wagon. They came op with the wagon in the edge of Turkey creek swamp on tbe back (?art of Mr. Graham's farm. They baited the negroes and covered ttem with the riflrs, bot the one on the off side of the wagoo made a break for the swamp Rad escaped into the undergrowth. Policeman Berwick fired at him several times, bnt did net bring bim dowo. The other negro, who wes icentified e.i> Wilson Dick, was arrested and be and the bors?\ wagon and cotton were brought to tbe guard boase Dick says that his companion W*.R Jobn Brooks, a negro wbom he had known i b\it a short tiioe Dick's story is that Brooks eag-.gfd him tc haul toe cotton and told hie to have bis wsgon by tbe railroad, near the site cf Branson's old sssn and blind factory, at ll o'clock last nisbt He was tber* at thc boor and waited until after the n*cbt freight oa ihe Central R. R. ba:l passed. Brook. tnen came to bim and toid bim to po a short di'taoce ?P 'he track to get the cottoo The two baies were found lying beside the r.ik aboat fifty yard3apart Taey leaded ibe cotton on the wagon and- were leaving tbe vicinity of the town by tee shorten: j route. Kolbing is kcown cf Brooks, wbr. i made bis escape, out Dick is a farmer w ho j h-s live! near tbe Poor House duriog th; past year. It is evident that the two nesroes I n-.d a confederate on the tre.in who threw eff ! tb? cotton for them to baal away, for it is cot ! probable that Brooks could have thrown it i . ff himself ar.d then jjrapsd off while tb^ ! train was unds-r fjil headway li is though* ? ?bet the-'f mao may know someifaioe: Rbon j The two biii-s cf cotton stoico from a box car j near tte People's Ic?

Berlio, Deo 10 -Toe Imperial chao cellor, Count voo Buelow, replying in the reiobstag to a qacsti ?o OD the sub jeer of Mr Kruger's failure to be re oeived bi Emperor William, said the govercmeut did all io its power to ward off war and ?eft the two reoublics io oo doubt as to the state of affaira in Europe and as to German neutrality Wheo, to 1899, the question of arbitra? to seemed not altogether excluded the government recommended it to Mr Kruger. He thought the time bad not yet oome. When Mr. Kroger, later, sought intervention bis feelings were too highly inflated for tbe Dutch aod German governments. For tbe Ger mao government it was lost time to give advice. Germany was ooovinoed that any step of a greater power at that moment would be oritieal and lead to no jesuit. ''There was no use for 09," said tbe obaoeeilor, "to pinch our fingers between the door aod tbe binge." Tbe chancellor added that wheo the suggestion of mediation was made to Great Britain by tbe United States in a qaiet geotly worded inquiry, it waa rejeoted officially and oatagorical ly. Intervention might have led to war. Tbe ohanoellor described and reply of M Delcasse. the French minster for of foreign affairs, to Mr Kroger as follows: ''Fraooe will in oo case take the initia? tive, would not oppose it when certain eventualities became known, provided they aro calculated to serve Freneb in terests.
