We have a special reason for wishing 10
reduce our stock. We have rented our
present store to Messrs. }. Rosenheim Il
Co., and it will be necessary for us to va
cate as soon as possible, go that needed
repairs may be made. Our new building
on corner Broughton and Bull streets is
rapidly going towards completion. 1t is
better to sell our stock of goods, even with
out one cent of profit, than to carry them
over to our new building. Spring trade
is almost over, but judging from the inn
mense crowds which continually pack our
stor one would hardly think so. On last
Saturday the crowd was SO great that we
were compelled to close our doors. Such
a state of affairs, we think, never before
existed in this city. There is areason for
all this. People have actually awakened
to the fact that A. X. Altmayer ~ Co. are
selling out, literally giving away goods
some of them below the cost OF produc-
ton. If you miss the opportunity which
the house Of A. II. Altmayer ~ Co. are
now offering to purchase goods at ridl-
culOus price, you will have no one but
yourself TO thank for the needed expense
you will be put to when you do want them.
DON'T put off a day, but come to US at
once. as whole lines OF goods are being
ClOHtQ udtlys uOuciHtto VI BhAAo WI -ANND
TO be sold in a few weeks at prices which
would paralyZe a shoemaker, utterly ruin
a manufacturer, and make the heart OIL
an ordinary retail shoe man SICK WITHIN.
The beauty OF our shoes is that they en-
brace not only an immense number OF
shoes. but an immense and well selected
assortment as we'll. 1t makes no differ
ence what kind of a shoe you want-a
fine French Kid, Button. or twenty-five
a | Y
Slipper, or an Opera Slipper for less than
fifty cents, you viii find them, and the
whole range Of shoes besides. Prices in
cur Lace department are always low,
Every lady in Savannah knows that. But
Just now they are at a TidiculOusly low
figure, and even our oldest customers Will
be astOnished at the reduction we have
made. Our Hosiery department is cram
med full of bargains Just now. There are
special lines OF goods for Ladies, Misses
and Children and for Gentlemen. They
were selected especially tor this season,
and all marked at less than cost Of impOr
tatiOn. Here are some fine Ribbons, and
before we begin we want to say that they
are really fine goods The alI-Silk is
genuine all-silk, and the Sash Ribbons are
of the finest quality. We say this because
the prices are so low, that it seems impOs-
sible to be all SILK. few weeks ago we
wouldn't have believed it ourselves. Who
Will match these matchless values in En-
brOideries? Who can show assOrtments
to compare? There is hardly an article
named Of which we cannot show many
different styles-more than any three re-
tail stores combined. What is it you
want? We have it. Embroideries on
front centre counter. Take your choice.
Call early in the day and avoid the rush
later In the day.

The CITY Court.

The regular quarterly and the monthly
criminal session Of the City Court was held
yesterday. The first case called for trial
was that against negro named Harrison
Carr, charged with malicious mischief.
Itappears that early last December S. B.
Morse lost bull valued at $40, and the
prisoner was arrested under the suspicion
of having killed it. At the trial the test-
mOny against Carr was not deemed suth-
cient TO crimnate bin, and the jury
found him not guilty and he was dis
charged from custody.
A negro named Sonny Harris, about ten
days ago was arrested on q warrant
charging him with larceny from the house.
The evidence on the trial of the case yes
terday showed that the prisoner stole 20
pounds Of tobaccO, valued at S6, from
Charles KOhler. a jury trial having been
waived by the prisoner, he was adjudged
guilty, and sentenced TO six months, with
labor, on the chain gang.
On June 10 a negro named Sheppard
Wilson was arrested for stealing 81 from
Ben Calls and was committed to jail to
await trial on the charge of larceny. The
prisoner was unable to introduce any evil
dence yesterday TO show that the accusa-
ton was not well founded, and on being
found guilty he was sentenced to six
months, with hard labor, on the chain
gang.
A negro named Caesar MOngin was
then tried for misdemeanOT, carrying
concealed weapons, and, on being found
guilty, was sentenced to pay fine of $25
or to be imprisoned three months. He
paid the fine and was discharged from
custody.
On June a negro named Willis Massie
went to the Office of the Mutual Gas
Light Company and represented himself
to be Cooper Maxwell, an employee of the
company. The company owed Maxwell
49, which amount Massie obtained and
get away with. AS soon as
Maxwell learned that Massie had
obtained his wages warrant Twas
sued out charging Massie with cheating
and swindling. The matter was tried in
the CITY Court yesterday, when Massie
was found guilty and sentenced to ST
months with hard labor on the chain
gang.

sion adjourned until tomorrow morning

THE TELEaRAPH RATES.
No Advance in Tariffs Vet, Although
Look cd For.

No Advance in Tariffs Vet, Although
Look sd For.
The rumOr from Macon of an ad-
vance in Western Union telegraph
rates created someth ing of a stir yester-
day in business care les here. Manager
Dillon says that be has received no notice
of an advance, and th at there has been
none. Manager Frien d, of the Macon
Office, has sent out circ ulars denying the
rumOr OF an advance the re. The fact that
the tariff is yet where it mas been all along
is gratifying TO bush less men, who
read with anxiety yeste rday of Ar in
crease. While none has yet been an
nOunced change back 30 old rates is
looked for at almost any ime, and it is
pretty generally believed that the existing
low tariff will not continue great while
longer.
The recent changes in the Southern
Telegraph Company's arrans -ements, and
the fact that IT has entered into con
tract with the Mutual UAdon, which
is one of the Gould lines, have
given rise TO the rumOr that there is some
thing in the arrangement none than APP
pears on the surface, and that while the
Southern will in name continue TO be a
competitor for the Western Unions bust
ness. it will in reality be operated indi-
rectly as one of its own lines. In cOnse-
quence of this an advance in Western
Union rates is locked for.
