cALLINa THEM DOWN.

The Central Railroad Keeping Sharp
Lookout for Scalpers' Tickets.
The Central railroad especially and
other roads entering Savannah have given
orders to the conductors to keep a sharp
lookout for scalpers' tickets. 1t has been
determened to cut down the scalpers'
business as far as possible. and on the
Central no through tickets or reduced
rate tickets are accepted. unless the per
sons holding them can positively identify
themselves as the original purchasers.
ms class OF tickets, where the original
purchaser signs a contract to identify
himself, and where he agrees to furnish
satisfactory evidence that he was the first
purchaser of the ticket, are largely dealt
IN by scalpers, and some of the railroads
have come to the conclusion that il is
time to call halt in the matter. The
result OF the orders issued on the Central
railroad has been that two or three par
ties have been called down of late, and
compelled to pay the full cash fare They

broker who sold them the tickets. and. as
a rule, the latter has to stand the loss

TO COLLECT Taxes
A Bill Designed to Prevent Delays
Arising From Litigation.

A bill has just been reported favorably
from the judiciary committee of the
House Of Representatives TO prevent in
reference in the collection Of state,
county and municipal taxes assessed
against corporations.
The measure. it is said, is designed to
pa, corporations in the hands Of receivers
appointed by Judges and courts Of the
United states in the same condition with
respect TO the collection of these taxes as
if no receiver existed
TO often happens that corporations by
order Of United States courts, pass into
hands of receivers and remain there for a
mum Der OF years, during which time taxes
assessed against them and their property
are paid or not paid, according 10 the
Judgment ana discretion, and sometimes
the caprice, of the federal court This IS
a trouble with which the authorities here
and in almost all sections of Georgia are
only TOO familiar. Especially has it been
the case in connection with the Central
railroad litigation. 10 has been a hard
matter in Chatham and many other coun-
ties To collect the state and county taxes
due, and in nearly every case
interventions have been filed
asking their payment. This. however,
does not do away with the delay in secur-
luB inc pay uIcLL u taxes.
By shls pracuce says an exchange, cor
pOratiOns in the hands Of receivers are en-
abled to defer the payment Of taxes al
most indefinitely, to the great inconyen-
fence and prejudice of the states. The
committee is of the opinion that corpora
ti0ns in the hands of receivers should not
ENJOY any greater immunity with respect
to payment of taxes than that which is
possessed by corporations carrying on
their business outside of court and with
out receivers. The unpaid tax represents
deficit in the state or county's treasury,
which is a great inconvenience in years
when heavy expenditures have TO be met.
Mr.. De Almond, dem, Of Missouri, who
reported the above measure, also intro
duced in the House a bill to limit the
number and compensation Of receivers Of
corporations. Under the bill not more
than two persons are TO be appointed as
receivers, and the compensation Of q re-
ceiver is not to exceed $4,000 per annum.

FALSE GAGGED rURPENrINE.
The New England Paint and Oil Clubs
Action.

4
Action.
The New England Paint and Oil Club
has taken action on the matter Of false
gauging turpentine, which was written
up in the MORNING NEWS some time ago
The Paint and Oil Review, in speaking Of
the practice, says: There is abundant
proof that irregular packages are pur-
posely made to deceive the gauge, the
barrel ends often having pieces of thick
wood placed centrally inside of each
IN the place, of course. least likely of
detection, but which would occupy suf-
hcient space on the inside OF a barrel to
make deficiency between the real and
fraudulent gauge. Different makers of
packages resort in other ways to extend
this imposition and buyers are justified
in feeling indignant. and concerted action
should be taken to stop the illegiumate
practice"
As proof of the prevalence Of false
guaglng. or rather crooked practice
OF making containers, the Re
view alludes to the Investigation made by
the Savannah board Of trade
A more recent investiga ton made by a
well-knOwn Boston dealer disclosed that
OF two barrels Of tupentine the Boston
gauge on first barrel was 52J5 gallons,
actual gauge by sealed measure: same
bNAACA AAAACN Nlbi NdtGA DOrL EdllOub as
all that it would contain. Barrel No. ?.
Boston gauge 53iS gallons; of water
measured in carefully with a seal measure
was 500 gallons.
The action of the New England Paint
and Oil Club is voiced in the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the recent action taken by
the board Of trade in savannah, In appoint
ing committee to Investigate the charges
That the turpentlne barrels are deceptive in
their make. thereby misleading the gauger
and wrOnging the purchaser, meets our
hearty approval and we trust they will con
tinue this matter until every deceptive barrel
Is rejected by all factors in tUrpentiue
Resolved, That the secretary be instructed
to write to the Savannah board OF trade. as
surlng them that they viii have our hearty
cooperation in aiding them in this good
work.
Resolved That the executive committee
be instructed to confer with the receivers of
turpentine IN Boston and request that they
refuse to receive turpentine from any source
in other packages than machine made or
other honestly made tarreis BY so doing
they will cooperate with the board Of trade
in savannah and aid them, as well as our
selves, in Riding New England Of the de-
ceptiYe made barrels.

TO MEET THIS MORNING.
The Annual Department Encampmen
of the Grand Army Here.


of the Grand Army Here.
Several of the delegates to the annual
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic for the department of Georgia
and South Carolina arrived in the city
last night and the others are all expected
on the early moEning trains.
The encampment is to be called to order
at 10 o'clock this morning in the Knights
of Pythias hall, at Barnard and York
streets. The business before the depart
ment IS not very extensive, and it is prob
able that the work will all be completed
this afternoon, so that those of the dele
gates who desire can return home on the
night trains.
All the posts are expected to send rep
resentatives, though it is not thought the
encampment will be an unusually large
one. Mr.. G. T. Watson, Of Atlanta. will,
it is believed, be elected department COM
mander. 1t is probable also that several
other of the head officers of the depart
ment will come from the O. NJ Mitchell
post of the Gate City.
Outside of this the principal business
before the department will be the instruc-
tions to delegates as to what place to
favor for the national encampmenU of
1873. 1t seems probable THAI
the department will instruct
for Louisville, Ky. Those who have said
anything about the matter are of the
opinion that holding it in Atlanta is en-
tirely out of the question. Though the
invitation of the Gate City is highly APP
preclated by the department, it
is considered that that city is far too
small to accommodate the 10000 or $1,000
old soldiers and those of their families
who would attend. Louisville, it seems.
is very likely to get the encampment.

ton of the dead o1icer's services. A
mem Der of the committee said yesterday
that a portion of the fund would proba-
bly, be invested in a house and lot for
Mrs. Neye and her children, and that the
balance would either be put into some
good security or in a savings bank. where
it would be held in trust for the family.

The Operation of the New Dog Regis
ter Explained.
The dog register opened by Mr. H. B.
Lemcke, secretary Of the Chatham branch
Of the State Sportman's Association, is Of
general interest to sportsmen in this sec
tion. The manner in which the register
is conducted and its purposes are ex-
planned by Mr.. Lemcke as follows: "A
thorough description Of the dog is taken,
giving owners name name of dog, age
sex and other features thattwould tend TO
distinguish the dog If the dog should be
lost the owner applies TO the keeper Of
the register, who gives a copy OF the
description of the dog 10 the chairman Of
the executive committee of the county
association, who calls a meeting of the
executive committee, which decides upon
a reward to be offered for the apprehen-
sion of the thief or the recovery of the
dog. If the thief is apprehended, it is
the duty of the chairman to bring the
matter to the attention of the solicitor
general, and to assist him in every
way possible in the prosecution of the
thief to the extent Of the law. The su-
preme court has decided that a dog is
property and that anyone stealing a dog
is liaDle to prosecution for theft.
A description of a lost dog that has been
registered is sent to the secretary Of the
state association, who in turn sends it to
the secretary of the national assOciat ton
and the description is furnished to all the
branch associations in the country Every
EFFORT is made for the recovery of the

A HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.
Bill simons Tries to Sell a 1888 Mare
for S3B.

for $36.
Detective Morgan, aided by Allen Stin-
son, arrested Bill Simons, a horsethief and
noted crook, on the Central railroad a lit
tie over mile from the city about 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Last Thursday Mr. Frank Exley missed
large bay mare, handsome animal
from his plantation near Monteith on the
Central railroad. He advertised for the
animal in the MORNING News, and Fri
DAY negro named Anderson, who lives
in the southern part of the city went to
DR.. ENley's Oiice and stated he thought
he had the horse wanted.
He said it had been sold
TO him for S35 by a negro he did not know.
He had paid s. down, and the negro was
to return Saturday for the balance of the
purchase money. Saturday Simons re-
turned, and Anderson, after leaving his
name, told him to wait until he went out
and got some change Anderson went out
to get an officer. and when he returned
the bird had flown.
Detective Morgan, Allen Stinson, and
Overseer Hchney, from MIR Exley's place,
began a search for the negro yesterday
morning, which they kept up until
last night at 6 o'clock, when he
was found out on the Cen
trial railroad, brought in and
placed in Jail. The detective had a great
deal of trouble in locating the man, and
deserves much credit for the quick work
done. The mare was valued at 500
Simons claims the animal was given him
by another negro.

DELAYED BY A WRECK.

A Central Freight Train Breaks In
Two and the Sections Collide.
The morning passenger train on the
Central railroad from Atlanta arrived
four and one-half hours1 late yesterday
morning. The cause of the delay was a
freight train wreck near Davisboro, about
midnight Saturday. The freight train
broke in two while descending a grade,
and the two sections afterwards came to-
gether, throwing a coal car across the
track. The damage was slight.
