ATLANTA, GA, July 19.-The cases
against Al Bronx, Edward Werner
Theodore Schumann, David Hollis and
James Mcmahon, for violation of the city
prohibition ordinance, were tried before
Recorder Anderson this morning. Inc
Recorder held that selling liquors and
beer, as had been done by these parties,
was retailing, and therefore illegal, ana
that the transferred county licenses under
which they sold were Illegal because the
County Commissioners had no authority
to transfer; but while emphasizing these
noints he put the decision on the ground
that the county licenses were lnYalld
since the prohibition law went into efect,
and that all sales under them were Illegal

He imposed the full penalty on each OF
the five, $500 and costs. Three OF the men,

banker, for back taxes due from 1872 TO
1888. An act OF Congress passed in 1864
I4Vied a tax of LA OF l per cent. on the
capital and deposits OF banks. The gov
ernment claims that Mr.. james failed to
make correct returns on his deposits for
taxation, and from 1870 to 1888, when the
law was repealed, owes the government
$4,000. Mr.. James says the deposits not
returned were borrowed money, which,
nnder the act, was exempt. The revenue
officers are awaiting instructions from
Washington how to proceed.

Suitor at Nashville.
NASHVILLE, TENN, July ia sensa-
tional shooting affair occurred here last
night, in which five persons were injured,
two OF them seriously. 7. n. MOnohan
has been counting MISS Laura Carney for
two years or more. For time they were
engaged, but MOnohan being very jealous
annoyed her so much by watching and
fault-tIndinP that she recently broke the
engagement. Last night Miss Carney
and some of tie neighbOrs were sitting in
the parlOr singing, when Monohan
entered the room, pistol in hand,
and without a word shot Miss Car
ney in the head. He then shot John
Rice, the ball striking him in the abdO-
men, but it was turned by button so as
to prevent fatal wound. He next shot
Mrs. Carney through the arm and John
Clapp, who attempted to disarm him, re-
ceived bullet through the hand. Step
ping into the hall he then shot himself IN
the head. His own wound, and that or
Miss Carney, are perhaps fatal. The af-
fair caused the greatest excitement, and
there were determined threats of lynch
ing, which was only prevented by the
quick arrival OF the police, who carried
him 10 Jail as quickly as possible. Monohan
is deIlrious, and keeps repeating that
Laura's mother made him Kill her by her
opposition to his suit.

dies from $4,000 to S367.

PEORIA, ILL, July 19.-The report OF
the bank expert who has been going over
the books OF the broken banking firm OF
II. z. Tracy Il Co., of Elmwood, shows
general looseness in book keeping and
strong suspicion of criminality on the
part of some one. Bills receivable have
mysteriously disappeared and the cash
on hand has diminished in some unac-
countaDie way from $45, 600 to 1867. The
paper mill accounts are mixed up in a
way for which there is no accounting
on the face OF the books. the total
shortage is estimated at SOS, 900. A meet
ing of EimwOod citizens, held Saturday
night, which was composed largely OF
creditors of the defunct firm, instructed
the assignees TO furnish money for the
criminal prosecution Of Mr.. Tracy. on Il
charge OF embe22lement, the preliminary
hearing being set for Thursday. Mr..
Tracy returned to Elmwood last night in
company with n deputy sheriff, and
claims that he will be able to account for
all discrepancies. The other partner in
the firm is in Kansas. Thcre were SIX
warrants issued for Mr.. Traey's arrest.

Don't Like the Company.

Fresno county did not respond cordi-
ally to the invitation Of the northern
counties to take part in their Citrus
Fair at Sacramento. Referring to it the
Eep0sitor says:
SO far as Fresno county is concerned,
she will not join the advertising move
ment. She is progressing well on her
own merits, that is, her raisins, wines,
wheat and wool. She has no objection,
to her northern sisters prospering, in
fact she would like to see them teeming
with population and wealth, but she
will not hasten TO add 10 the attractions
of their fair simply to aid them. When
Fresno county has heretofore asked
their aid she has in return received
their opposition. In her struggle to Sc
cure the righ. to divert the water
from the rivers over the plains to
render them fertile and product
i've the counties interested in the pro-
jected fair have turned their faces against
her as rule, while many of the papers
have misrepresented the situation and
exerted themselves to injure her.
While admiring the beautiful lesson in
humility taught IN the old expression OF
''kissing the rod" we don't think Fresno
county will engage in the osculating
business this year; some other time, per
haps.

A MAN of Business.

Sir Arthur Sullivan is credited with
being one of the best men of business in
the musical profession, and it is certain
that he commands higher sums for his
music than any other British composer.
The story whether true or otherwisel
goes that he acquired those business
propensities very early in life. As q
child he had a sweet treble voice, aud
he was frequently asked to sing before
company. One day he strongly refused
to oblige unless be was paid for it. Said
the greatly amused visitor:
"How much do you want for a song,
little MANI"
"Sixpence," was the prompt reply.
"What! Sixpence for only one songt"
said the visitor.
"Well," replied the future knight,
81 can't take less than sixpence. But
don't mind throwing you in three for a
shilling"
