THE JUDGE on HIS DIGNITY.

He Says Some Lively Words to COllec-
tor of Internal Revenue Crenshaw.
Judge Speer and Collector Crenshaw
are reported to have had a lively little
scene together day or two ago, the facts
of which have just come TO light.
Judge Speer had been putting the
screws Of the law lightly on the moon
sinners for a week, and it appears that
his sentences have not met the approval
Of the Collector, who accordingly called
on the Judge and urged that the sentences
of the court were not sufficiently heavy.
The Judge eyed the Collector with con-
siderable surprise for a moment and then
said:
80 you think that the sentences of this
court are too smallY
81 DO" said the Collector.
"Well," said the Judge, 'do you know
that you are in contempt Of cOurtW
Mr.. Crcushaw then said:
"W ell. the Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue agrees with me-"
And djd he tell you to tell me sop
asked the Judge.
''lie did was the reply.
"Well," said Judge Speer, in that sar-
castle tone for which he is noted among
his friends, "this court knows where JUS
tice ends aud oppression begins. You say
70 the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
that II he comes down here and says TO
me what YOU have said that | will put him
in jail for contempt OF court. / know
these people and 1 know what is Oppres-

Association st work for Next season.
| The failure OF the Sayaunahs TO get
into the league, and the formal releasing
of the nine, were the subject OF general
talk in base ball circles yesterday.
The action of the league directors was a
good deal of surprise. Most Of the nine
have engagements in view, and probably
all will be signed by the end OF the week,
Burke left last night for his home
in Montgomery, Ala.
The meeting in Atlanta on Monday
was called TO receive the report Of
the committee appointed To invest-
gate the charges preferred by Column
bus against Memphis. The committee
consisted of Messrs. Sparks OF Macon,
Sibiey Of Augusta and Walter x. Brown,
Of Atlanta The first two had reported
in favor of expelling Memphis, MI
Brown Withholding his report until the
testimony from Memphis could be receiv-
ed. Mr.. Sparks, as chairman of the COM
mittee, had telegraphed Memphis to send
in her testimony, but failed to receive it
by the time indicated in his dispatch, and
be and Mr.. Sibley made up tnelr report
without having heard from Memphis.
After examining the testimony which was
sent him from Memphis, Mr.. Sparks
stated that he did not care to change his
vote, but was still in favor Of eXpelling
Memphis, and he SO instructed HIS proxy
TO vote. Mr.. Sibley, OF Augusta, stated
that after having examined the
testimony sent in by Memphis he
should vote "no" on the motion to
expel, especially as he had just received
a dispatch from his directors stating that
they were strongly in favor of sustaining
Memphis. Mr.. Walter X. Brown, Of At
lanta, said that after examining the Mem
phis testimony and weighing it with the
testimony on the other side, he should
vote against eXpelling Memphis. Mr..
Wayne, of Chattanooga, stated that mis-
club had instructed him to vote no on the
proposition to expel and that he should so
vote. The President read dispatch from
Mr.. Deaderck, OF Nashville, instructng
him TO cast the vote of Nashville no on
the proposition to eXpel. Mr.. Cox, of Bir-
mingham, after hearing the discussion,
stated that he would vote no. The vote
was then called by clubs, and resulted as
follows: Ga the motion to eXpel-aYes
Columbus and Macon. Nays-Atlanta,
Augusta, Birmingham, n ashville and
Chattanooga. MIR. Smith, Of Memphis,
declined to vote. This settled the matter
and left no room for Savannah in the
league. The association will continue its
organization, and next year proposes to
put nine in the field that will lead any
in the South.
Mr.. l. g. Haas who went to Atlanta il
is stated, authorized to eXpend 81 900 if il

derstood TO have made every effort to Sc
cure the clubs admission but without sue

oaARaEp WITH FRAUD.



United States Deputy Marshal Harry
Palmer went to Blakely, in Early county,
yesterday, 10 arrest J. II. Taylor. who
was commissioned a deputy marshal last
year. In August, 1854. Taylor forwarded
al application for the position to Col. r..
ID. Locke, who was then Marshal
of tile Southern district. He was
granted a commission, but nothing was
heard Of him until "A few days ago.
Col. Wade was appointed Marshal III
January last, but he did not recommlssion
TAYLOR and did not know any thing OF MIN.
Recently complaint was made that Taylor
was using his commission TO eXt0rt
money. His plan was TO find some one
who was selling liquor without tax ana
threathen them with prosecution unless
they gave him S25. NegrOes were gen
orally the victims. Col. Robinson,
prominent citizen Of Early county,
was the first 10 make a complaint.
He wrote TO Congressman Turner, Of
Ouitman about the case. A few days ago
be forwarded an affidavit to Marshal
Wade, charging Taylor with eXtOrhng
money under color Of authority of the
United States. A colored victim also
sent an affidavit stating that he had paid
Taylor $50 to escape prosecution.
Marshal w ade with these facts before him
demanded 1 dNiNI COMMISSION, III WAS
received by Mondays mail, and enclosed
with it was a short note from Taylor, who
was no doubt surprised at the demand.
He was probably arrested last night, but
if not he doubtless will be to-day. lie
Will be taken direct to Macon. How
many he has victimized is unknown,
only two cases being known TO the
authorities, one in May and the other on
June 4.
The most of those who did divide will
hesitate to inform on him, as they too
would be liable TO prosecution. Two
charges can be brought against them--0Be
for violating the internal revenue luws,
and briUing an officer. tits expected that
Taylor's counsel will take the ground
that he was not an officer Of the United
States at the time the Oftenses
charged were committed. The defense
viii doubtless argue that Taylor's com
mIssion expired when Col. Locke went
out OF Office, and that the only charge
that can be brought against him is swind-
ling or obtaining money under false pre-
fences, crime against the state. The
will admit that Taylor was
an officer up to the time Of his arrest.

JANE KANEY,s RAIDS.
y CoIored House servants Two Years
PIunderIng.


PIunderIng.
Magistrate Molina's court room had the
appearance Of frst-class house furnish
ing store yesterday. A half bushel basket
filed with fine imported glassware was
under a table. over them were thrown a
score of doylies of fine linen. Near by, on
the floor, was set Of porce-
lain ware dishes, including
tea kettle. On the table
was some fine china ware, a lot Of books,
some chair tides, an ink stand and other
articles. Scattered about the floor were
rugs, mats, an umbrella stand and some
oil paintings. The collection was the
result Of a raid on thereon Of Jane Rainey,
cOlored domestic IN the employ of Mr..
John Mclaughlin.
She has held the situation nearly three
years. During the last TWO years articles
have been missed, but no trace could ever
be found Of any of them. A few
days ago neighbor called and
made some remark about miss
ing volume of Stanley's "Through
the Dark Continent" Search was made
for it, but it was not discovered. 1t was
observed that the woman Raney always
carried basket on her arm when she
went home at night. A few nights
ago she was sent on an errand
just as she was ready TO leave. While
she was gone the basket was examined
and several articles, including cocks be-
longing to the family were found. They
were replaced and nothing said to the
woman about the discovery.
On Monday afternoon she was Swallowed
by Constable Endres until she went to her
room on Gordon street lane. He followed
her INTO the house, and arrested her on a
warrant that had been issued by Justice
Molina. A search of the premises
revealed large stock of stolen
goods. The girl has been systematically
theving for twenty-fOur months, and has
enriched herself at the expense of others.
She denied everything at first--name,
home, employer and guilt. She was
taken to the Magistrates Office by the
constable and Deputy Sheriff j. Il. Men
del. and was afterward committed to Jail.
The napes were torn or cut out of all of
the books. Although she cannot read a
word she slowed some taste in the selec-
ton OF her library. Hugo's and ScotVs
best fiction were side by side with the
Farmers Book" and German volume
on landscape gardening. The latter was
taken doubtless because of the numerous
cOlOred plate. rgrayings.

Worth considering and worthy of exami-
nation by all who have any regards to
saving money. People will buy where
they can get the best goods for the least
money. 1t is human nature to do so.
Sharp buyers are always on the alert.
and once captured the masses soon
follow. The immense thrOng which con-
tinually crowded our store the past week
was evidence Of this fact. TIE unusual
opportunity tor a saving almost One-half
of the purchasers money, which the hOu Sc
OF A. 4. Altmayer Il Co. are now Offering,
is apparent to every thinking mind. The
reason why we can save you 50 muol
money is that in few months we will
remove to the building now in course of
erection on corner Brougbton and Bull
streets. Ii will be 10 our advantage TO
move as little of our stock as possible.
Having this in view, and knowing the
only way to reduce the enormous stock
which our house carries Will be TO make
prices 50 low that you will buy at once,
even if you have no immediate use for the
goods. This is food for thought. Do you
intend purchasing anything in the MILF
merry line? If so, buy now. No finer
assortment, no stock more carefully
selected, no richer or more elegant styles,
combined with the most artistic work
mapship, ever shown in the South. Prices
wo uld not convey TO you how cheap goods
are really sold. Goods have no value with
us, the only question we consider is how
fast we can reduce our stock. White aud
Black Plumes at less than One-fOurth
value. They are such as we used 10 sell
at three times the prices we are offering
them now. We are certainly going to
sell them for one-third less tnau our
former price. Why such FAM This is
what is called flower season, and plumes
are at a discount. We purchased these
plumes from an importer at a sacrifice,
intending to put them aside until next
season, when they Will be in style again.
Now we are going to move, and we are
going to move the plumes if low prices
will do SO. All sorts of lace caps, two or
three hundred styles, for half value-all
new and perfect. We still have Kid
Gloves something unusual at this season
of the weary all shades and styles. at less
price than we could import them. Do
no; fail to visit our store this week. We
shall sell at low prices, and low prices
with us mean something. Every thing in
our entire establishment at less than cost
of production. We count ourselves sufii-
GENTLY repaid for our trouble and the
use of our capital by the opportunity
afforded US by closing out our stock and
thereby be able to furnish our new place
with au entirely new line.
Ten minutes spent in our store will be a
better argument in our favor than any we
could write. Store closes at $3.50. Ladies
will consult their own interest by shop
ping during the morning, when we Will
be able to give them more attention.
