Tonne Thieves. '
A bold attempt to rob a lady of her
purse was made last Thursday after
noon a few minutes after five o'clock.
by a colored boy about fifteen or six
teen years of age. He was in com
pany with another boy of about the
same age. They overtook the lady
near the corner of Fourth and Mar
ket streets, as she was returning home
from shopping, and the smaller one
of the two boys seized the purse which
she carried in one hand and endeav
ored to force her to relinquish it. The
lady resisted the attempt however,
and a gentleman approaching, the
yoUng rascals ran off.
There seems to be a gang of young
scamps about town who are up to all
sorts of deviltry and crime. Small
white children are frequently abused
and beaten by them, and shop-keepers
constantly complain of their dep
redations. A few days ago one of these
boys boldly robbed a store on South
Fourt street of a lot of oranges, and
got away, though he was pursued by
the store-keeper. "

Rtue .Osorae la VArtlcle 4T. r
A good-sized audience appeared at
the Opera House last night to witness I
the rendition of "L'Article 47,". with
Miss Rose Osborne, as Cora, the Creole.
Miss Osborne not only sustained her
good reputation of the previous night,
but firmly established: it by the natu

she sustained her part. ' .
Mr; J. A. Muller's impersonation of
George DuEamel met with general app

me musiij, watea jusuy xepr eseuib
an important feature in the play, was
excellent throughout, and the special
ties were frequently encored. .
The first piece was followed by a
one-act farce which evoked great
laughter.
The company will give a matinee
this afternoon which will be followed
by the presentation of a doll to one
of the little beauties in the audience.
They will close their engagement this
evening' by presenting "Fortune's
Fool." The play is a popular one and
combined with the pronounced suc
cess of Miss Osborne it should draw a
crowded-house.
Chaacti la tbe Collection of CBilomi.
A Washington correspondent says
that a reduction in the expense of
collecting customs revenue has been
determined upon and the plan pre
pared by Assistant Secretary May-
nard has been approved by Secretary
Fairchild and will be put into effect
with the beginning of the new year.
Tne orders as to these changes have
already been issued. Mr. Maynard
summarizes the plan a? follows r
There are now 139 collection dis
tricts in the United States. In 64 of
these the revenues are much less than
the expenses. For instance, there are
44 districts in which the total collec
tions do not exceed $5,000, while the
expenditures aggregate $95,000. In
the other 20 non-self-supporting dis
tricts the collections are less than
$25,000 and the expenditures amount
to $52,000. The expenditures of these
offices will be reduced by $1,115,835
a year, principally by dismissals, and
ahjorby reductions 01 salaries in sev
eral instances. Tne orders as to tnese
changes, to take effect with the be
ginning of the new year, have already
been issued. They have been made
gradually and with due regard to the
interests of the service.
Amoncr the uorta affected and the
amounts of reduction are the follow
ing: Alexandria, Va., $1,575; Apala
chlcola, $1,251; Beaufort, N. C., $1,427;
Beaufort, S. C, $688; Ternandina,
Fla., $1,321; Georgetown, o. U., $835;
Cherrystone, Va., $2,562; Petersburg,
Va:, $3,085; Pamlico, N. C, $2,198;
Tappahannook, Va., $707; Brunswick,
Wa., $3,330; Albemarle, JS. J., 9 l,ire;
St. Marks, Fla., $2,314; Wilmington,
N. C, $2,800; Mobile, Ala., $3,925;
Shieldsboro, Miss., $1,095.
Railroad Rumor.
Mr. Sol Haas, formerly a citizen of
Wilmington, it is stated is to be Gen
eral Manager of the West Point Ter
minal system. Mr. Haas is the traffio
manager now, and it is supposed that
if he takes charge of the general man
ager's office he will do away with the
title of traffio manager and have all
the general freight agents and tb
general freight agents of the Rich
mond and Danville line and the East
Tennessee line report direct to him,
as at present. It is understood that
if this change is made Capt. W. H.
Green will be made general superin
tendent or acting general superin
tendent of the Richmond and Dan
ville system, and General Superin
tendent Hudson, of the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia,be retained
in that position. Maj. Peyton Ran
dolph, assistante general manager,
will, it is understood, remain for
some months at 'east.
