Residence' Burglarized, j
While members of the family were
away from home last night between 7
and 10:45 o'clock, a burglar entered
the residence of Mr. C. W. Hollow-
bush, No. 701 Dock street, and stole
$18 or $20 in money and a fine revol
ver from a bureau drawer in a bed
room of the house. - Entrance was
gained by breaking into the side of
the house with an axe or other heavy
instrument - under . a window in the
rear. A large trunk had to be pushed
out of the way of, the opening and the
wonder is tjiat the burglar was not
detected. Luckily for him; the thief
took nothing that could be identified
A lot of silverware and jewelry belong
ing to Mrs. Hollowbush was left In
the same room from which the other
articles were taken. 1 j

Great Boer War Spectacle to be Seen

The Charleston News and Courier
of Tuesday is unstinted in its praise of

which will be seen under canvass at

Briton and Boer found a warm wel

occasion of. the first day's- presentation
of the - great spectacle, The 3oer

prepared a fine reception lor tne com
pany, and especially for the old lion
of the land beyond the vaal. Gen. Piet

To describe the daring horseman
ship exhibited out on the old Meeting
street ball park," which has - for the
time being taken on the appearance
of a South African battlefield, and the
thrilling battles of Colenso, Paars-
berg, with De Wet's fight through
cordon of British troops, would re
quire many : times ' the space which
it is possible to give. It may be said
however, that the spectacle is like
nothing which has ever been present
ed Jn this country before.
The introduction to the great show,
affords Mr. Pieter Visser, a Boer, ah
opportunity for -showing a magnificent
physique mounted "on a superb horse,
and his voice Is of great range and
beautiful quality. Among the officers
of either side introduced are Capt.
Chapin, U. S. A. ; C&i-t. Franklin and
Capt Dix, of the British contingent,
and Surgeon J. Nuncie Casey, who
served throughout the war with great
credit, is also presented. Among the
Boers are seen Lieut. Minnaar, Field
Cornet Coetzen, Field Cornet Young,
Commandant Van Dan and Comman
dant Boshoff, who was with Gen. uq
La Rey at the wounding and capture
of Gen. Methuen. U j . - "
Two African Cape carts, four-in-
hand, are shown, driven at break-neck
speed, by Boers. . It seems as though
the rapid transit proposition had been
solved down there In South Africa if
the driving jwhich is done by those
Boers in the Cape carts is a criterion.
Next are seen the Basutos, mount
ed on their native ponies, and mules
and ox wagons, of j the kind without
which there would have - been no
Tfansvaal possible, for the great trek
was accomplished in the rude wagons.

We respectfully report the -: find

true bill, to-wit: One assault. and bat
tery, one murder, two nuisances, etc.
We have made no presentments; -one

Following as nearly as possible your
plain and explicit charge, we have
careruuy considered tne suojects
touched upon therein nd such other
matters as have come before us, and
wish first of all to accentuate the most
excellent report of the previous grand
jury and to earnestly endorse the
same, and all the I recommendations
contained' tnerein. !
From-thef evidence adduced before
us, we are Convinced that a vigorous
enforcement;; of the! vagrant law will
be the means of relieving the commu
nity of some of the Ills complained of,
and to that end we recommend that
the police force be! increased, believ
ing that thereby . the necessary evi
dence can be obtained to convict those
who foster and maintain disorderly
places, and protection afforded every
part of the city. ; s
We recommend that Kellog's Alley
and other places of like character.
doubtless known to the police, receive
determined attention from the police
and the nuisance complained of there
from; be broken Up. !
We respectfully report that we pro
ceeded in a body to the convict camp
on the Market street road and found
the camp in f good condition and, with
one exception, the convicts apparent
ly in good , health,! their appearance
indicating that, they are well fed and
cared for; some of them when ques
tioned so expressed . themselves, but
some of them apparently were not
properly ; clothed. : '
We investigated the road and found
the work well done. We have also
looked thoroughly Into the cost of the
same and believe it is not excessive.
The- County Commisisoners now have
up the matter of its cost and are seek
ing other, sources from which a supply
of rock ran be obtained with the view
of lessening the -cost . , :
As idleness and ignorance tends to
depravity, we urgently recommend
that the school facilities be increased
as early ;asl possible to an, extent that
will accommodate all the children in
the city. :., , -- :-..-si"-:--
