HE SAVED A BIG FINE.
A. Grimm's Appeal From the Re-
corder's Court Sustained by the City.

A. Grimm's Appeal From the Re
corder's Court Sustained by the City.
A. Grimm, who was fined 5000 by the
recorder several weeks ago for keeping
his barroom on the Ogeechee open and
selling liquor on Sunday for several Sun
days in succession, was acquitted by the
city council last night.
The old white man who made the case
against Grimm and who was the city's
only witness, turned completely about
and made an entirely different statement
from the one he made to the recorder in
the police court.
The case against Grimm appeared to be
conclusive in the police court, but the
change of mind of the city's witness left
the city without any evidence upon
which to base its case.
Even Mayor McDonough confessed
that the evidence was insufficient, and
MIR. Grlmm's appeal was sustained by a
large majority.
There was some talk of indictingtthe
city's witness for perjury, but it is hardly
likely that this viii be done.
The old man, who IS a carpenter, ha
been doing some work for Grimm, and it
is said that the latter had refused to pay
a part of his bill, alleging that it had
been taken out in trade, and that the case
was made in spite
If this was the case the old mans bill
must have Deen settled since the case
came up in the police court, as he was
unable TO remember anything when the
case came before council, and was so in
definite in his statements, that there was
nothing left upon which to base the
charge
The appeal of Thomas Cooley. who was
fined $40 by the recorder some time ago,
for resisting an officer has also been sus-
tanned. 1t was found that the charges
were not warranted by the evidence, and
the case was dismissed.

The Mayor to Supervise the Purchases
of the Departments.

The Mayor to Supervise the Purchases
of the Departments.
Mayor McDonogh has issued circu.
lar letter to the chairmen of all the com.
mittees of council requesting them to in.
struct the boards of departments under
their supervision, to make monthly requi-
sitions for the supplies needed in each de-
partmeRt
Upon approval by the committees the
acquisitions are to be forwarded to the
mayor, who will designate proper per-
son 10 make the purchases required
For all sums under 800 prices will be
asked from dealers and for all sums over
500 bids will be asked for.
Heretofore the head of each department
has ordered what he thought was neces-
sary for his department. The new move
is in the interest of economy and to pre-
vent waste or extravaganza.
As under the precedence indicated all
purchases will come directly under the
eye Of the mayor, and will be made by his
direction, he will be able to keep u closer
watch upon the expenditures of each de-
partment than heretofore. When requisi-
tions for supplies are made and approved
he will direct the city marshal, or some
other suitable official, 10 secure the re-
quired articles at the lowest market
price.

THE REYNOLDS CASE.

The Grand Jury Failed to Substan-
tiate the Charge Made Against Him.
The MORNING News stated yesterday
that the superior court grand Jury found
no bill against Justice Samuel Reynolds
on the charges preferred against him by
the state. The case is one which involved
the dis position made of the two boys who
ran away some time ago with two horses
belonging to Mr.. Thomas +. Gleason.
The two boys, II. l.. Elkins and r. f.
Armstrong, were committed to jail by
Justice Reynolds Nov 3. Nov. he
ordered them released for examination,
and sent constable to bring them to his
Office. The prosecutor who had been
notified of this fact failed to appear and
MIR. Reynolds entered his return on the
back of the warrant, stating that there
was no prosecution and the defendants
were therefore dismissed.
The state held that Justice Reynolds
should have held the men who were
charged with horse stealing, under bond,
or should have returned them to Jail to
await the action of the grand jury, as
horse stealing is a felony, and such cases
are prosecuted by the state whether the
prosecutor appears or not. On this ac-
count charge of malpractice in office
was preferred against Justice Reynolds
and this charge, drawn up as special
presentment, was presented to the grand
jury. Before this Indictment was drawn
however, the names of the two boys above
were presented to the grand jury on a
charge of horse stealing and that body
failed to find any indictments agains
them. Justice Reynolds went before the
grand jury Wednesday and made his
statement. The jury's action in finding
no bill sustained his defense that he had
held preliminary examination, and the
prosecutor failing to appear after notifi-
cation the defendants were dismissed.

the killing of Joe Davis, at Thunderbolt

The ground on which the law is de-
