Supreme Court on the Con-

The county commissioners were I'm ses-

checking up the license receipts with the
treasurer's books for the month of De-
cember. The receipts show that the
amount OF licenses collected showed no
appreciable decrease from the collection
OF former months or prior to the decision
of Judge Speer that the license law was
unconstitutional. At the request of several
parties the county treasurer endorsed up
on the receipts the words, Paid under
protest." but the county attorney gave 1t
as his opinion that the protest was in
sufficient and would not hold good, as the
law required a written notice of protest
to be served on the treasurer and county
clerk. The treasurer reports that so far
this month the license collections have
been fully up to those of former months
for the same time and no one has refused
to pay. so that the discussion on the IL

CROOKS AT ATLANTA.
There Was an Army of Them Preying Upon
In L. Al

| There Was an Army of Them Preying Upon
Innocent Visitors to the Exposition.
| From the Atlanta Constitution.
The exposition season has brought to
Atlanta an army of crooks and pick
pockets, who have reaped a rich har-
vest from the unsuspecting, and after
the close of the fair they will depart
with well-filled purses and a valuable
lot of ill-gotten spoils.
The work of the crooks who came
simultaneously with the opening of the
exposition has been carried ON in every
conceivable manner. and the list of
names of people who have fallen VIC
Tins to the shrewdness and subtlety
of the sharpers would fill several VOL
umes. Those people who have made a
custom of placing confidence in every
one whom they CHANGED to meet have
been taught a lesson that has cost them
hard-earned dollars.
Men, women and children have fallen
easy prey to the crooks. and to those
who earn their bread by the use of
their wits the exposition grounds and
hotels of the city have proven a source
of revenue almost equaling the value
of a gold mine. Pickpockets have deft-
ly slipped their hands into the pockets
of visitors; snatch thieves have accept
ed many opportunities to seize purses
and hand satchels, and the confidence
man mas ADDED many dollars to his
bank account. Much of this work has
been done in broad daylight, but ow-
ing to the character of the thieves ii
has almost been an impossibility to eff
feet their capture, and even a more
difficult task to convict them after they
were arrested. Every policeman on the
Atlanta police force has strict orders
to hook out for crooks, but as they are
strangers to the force and come from a
distance. II has been like looking for
the proverbial needle in a haystack to
locate them in the crowds of visitors
The crooks have every appearance of

the press of the crowd; they relieve a

Is discovered. Crooks and gentlemen
elbow their way through the crowds
together, and the crook adds the watch
of his companions to his stock before
they part company; the confidence man
leaves the train with a passenger and
before they separate the passengers

SUED FOR DAMAGES
The Butte Hardware Company Trus-
tees Are Made Defendants.
ANOTHER AGAINST THE K.-C
Mrs. Mahoney's Very Interesting
Charges Made Public. and She
Wants the Custody of Her
ChIId-An Old Account.

Another suit for damages against
the Butte Hardware company. growing
out of the big explosion, was COM
menced in the district court yesterday.
Notwithstanding the evidence In the
Goddard and Milano eases that both
explosions came from the Kenyon
Conneu warehouse. The plaintiff in
the new suit Is Henry Coleman, and
the defendants besides the Butte
Hardware company, are p. A. Largely,
Geoff LaveH. Henry Williams, i. +.
Kirby and r. j. Watson, trustees OF
the company. Coleman sues for $780,
900 for injuries received by his son.
Thomas Coleman. The complaint in
tthe case alleges that the boy was
walking in the direction of the fire
when an explosion occurred and he
was thrown upon the ground and
piece of iron struck him on the head,
fracturing his skull and injuring his
brain so that he has since been wholly
unable to perform any labor.
Another suit was also instituted
against the Kenyon-Connell company
and NJ. j. Connell and w. II. Kenyon
by Mrs. Mary b. Brinck, for the death
of her husband, William G. Brinck. The
complaint alleges that Brinck was
standing at a window of his residence
at 430 Utah avenue. and watched the
fire, and when the explosion occurred
he was struck on the head with a fly
ing missile. His skull was fractured
and he died on March 2S. leaving a
widow and four children. She asks for
$4,000 damages. The complaint in the
case differs somewhat from the COM
plants in former cases, by alleging
that ii was the duty of Connell and
Kenyon TO manage and conduct the af-
fairs of the company and that the ex-
cessive quantity of powder in their
warehouse was stored there with their
knowledge and consent as officers of
the company, and that the quantity
stored there was sufficient to constitute
a public nuisance
