with receiving and disposing of stolen
goods. The complainant in the case IS r.
l.. Butler an Alabama man. II seems that
two horses were stolen from Butler some
time ago, and that he claims that Allen
was the thief He also claims that Allen
brought the horses to Atlanta and sold
them to OShields, who in turn, sold them

OShields stated that he did not deny haY-
ing bought a pair of horses from Allen,
nor did he deny having sold them, but he
claimed that he was ignorant of the fact
that they were stolen.
The outlook is that there will be a
general stirring up of matters financial
~ in Rome. About half the business
professional men and manufacturers have

hscal years beginning April J. when ttev
were due. On account Of the hard tim IS

but the city marshal has now given 40

ny June / viii have cases made against
them IN the recorders court. This IS
necessitated by the fact that they are
two months over due, and on July ! the
city has 70 meet the $4,000 interest on its
bonded debt and as a large amount or
the bonds fall due next year and must
be refunded, the city cannot afford to go
into the market with the record OF a de-
fault in meeting the interest.
Another step in a long delayed and stub
born litigation was taken In the supreme
court at Atlanta. II Is in the case OF the
Singer Sewing Machine Company against
Controller General Wright and tax col
lector Stewart A number of years ago,
when Henry Tlilyer MAS a member Of fhe
legislature from Fulton county he was
approached by the representatives Of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company ana
asked to introduce a bill requiring ali
dealers IN sewing machines to pay an an
nual license Of 500 in addition to a tax
of S. year for every agent employed
This was urged on account of the fact
that before that time taxes were not
paid by the dealers in machines unless
they were regular agents of the company.
1t was urged that merchants VINO sold
machines did not have TO pay the regular
tax and this was burden on the COM
panies selling machines. The bill met VITA
general favor and was passed almost
without opposition. The company paid
the tax for a number of years and then
it refused to pay 1t. An execution was
issued against 1t and then the company
hled a bill to prevent the collection of the
tax. The bill was filed in the United
States court and was decided against the
ried to the supreme court and was thrown
out on a technicality. The company then
entered suit to recover the amount of the
tax from Controller General Wright aud
Tax Collector Stewart, but lost the case
in the superior court. 1t was taken up
to the supreme court of the state and ar

Atlanta Journal: About 1880 o'clock
FRIDAY rn0rntnU a
dressed woman called at police headquar-
ters and asked to see Chief Connolly. She
was informed that he was not in and was
referred to Capt. Manley, who was in
charge at the time. To Capt Manley the
young woman told a strange story. Her
name, she said. was Mrs. b. G. Rush Be-
fore her marriage, which occurred last
Sunday night, she was Miss Annie Cohen.
She told Capt. Manley that she had mar
ried Il. c. Rush almost against her will
because he had begged her so hard and
because he had threatened to kill himself.
After marrying him, she round that she
could not live happily with him. Her OBJ
ject in calling at police station, she eN-
planned, was to seek advice. as she de-
olared that she would never live with
her husband again. While Mrs. Rush was
talking to Capt. Marley, a well dressed
young man ran up the steps at the police
station and asked Uncle Jimmy Melee
where that young lady had gone. Uncle
Jimmy tried to stop him, but with the
cry that she was his wife and he WAS
going TO follow her, he ran into Capt.
between husband and wife. The husband
begged his wife to go home with him,
but she declared that she would never
live with him. Capt. Manley told the young
couple that they had best seek a lawyer
and lay their troubles before him. They
then left together and at last accounts
were consulting Attorney r. J. Jordan.
Atlanta Journal: An unusual suit came
up in the superior Friday morning be-
fore Judge Lumpkin. IL is the case of
Annie Dixon against Francis c. Hitchins.
The woman, who is a middle-aged mu-
latto, alleges that she owned a house
and lot in Atlanta which was a valuable
piece Of property. En- 1891 she says she
met Hitchins. who was a stock dealer.
He was anxious for her to so with him
to his home in Texas. She finally con-
scented and went to New Orleans, where
he told her that her former employer s
brother, a Mr.. Lloyd, was trying to get
| possession of her property, and that the
| best way TO prevent his doing so was
| to deed the property TO him until the
| affair blew over and he would then deed
| it back. She did this, she alleges, and re-
| GREETED il soon afterwards, as Hitchins
claiming to have some business engage
ments in Atlanta, left her in New Or

| there until his return. when she insisted
