Prom New York City.

Our leading dry goods and
Clothing merchant, Mr.. S. w.
Jones, who has just returned
from New York City, where he
has been for the past three or
four weeks, returned last FRIDAY
evening.
Mr.. Jones tells us New York
City is the place, and the only
place, to get more than your
moneys worth. But you must
know how and where to find bar
gains or you had better stay at
home.
This was his seventh trip to
New York for the purpose of
buying goods, and each time he
learns something. Said he went
into large store on Broadway
where a com pany had failed in
business. All the goods we're
new and up-to-date, in fact the
goods were too fine for the south
ern trade. Mr.. Jones found
So, 100000 worth of real new and
stylish fine dress goods, bought
them for less than half their
value at this house, besides many
other goods in this line which he
bought at other places in New
York.
Mr.. Jones also stated that he
had bought the most complete
assortment of late and stylish
little novelties ever brought to
this section of Georgia. Atlanta
will not be ahead of him in fine
and stylish goods this fall.
Says he has already received
some of the goods, such as dress
goods, trim mings, belts, hand
kerchiefs and many late novel
ties.

BOB YOUNG ARRESTED.

| Robert Young, liquor dealer. has
been taken into custody by Federal
authorities at Columbus for serious
violation of the internal revenue
laws.
An inspector in this city some time
ago discovered that there was a
brand of whisky on the market bear
ing false marks as to age. and an
analysis of the compound showed
that it was not up to the standard
required by law. Several barrels of
the stuff were confiscated, and il is
now in The basement of the govern
ment building.
AS soon as Young heard of the dis
covery, it is said by the authorities
that he opened correspondence, and
as result of this agreed to pay
SO. 900 in cash, provided the prose
cution of the case was dropped. This
offer was not accepted, but no arrest
was made at that time. Deputy
United States Marshal Al. Bauer was
curing what he believed was sufii-
cient evidence to warrant action, he
placed Young under arrest. He was
arraigned before the Commissioner at
Columbus and released on bond of
$500. His principal place of business
was at Columbus. The concern was
known as the Cincinnati Distillery
Co., and the selling agency was con-
Quoted under the name of E. l.. Hen
rickson & Co., agents. 1t is claimed
that Young was the owner of 80 or
more saloons in Ohio, and at least
two of these were located in towns
that had been voted dry. One was
here in Toledo and the others were
scattered throughout Ohio A pecu-
liar feature of fthe case is that Young
is alleged to have employed private
detectives to follow the United
States authorities so that he could
keep posted. on just what they pro-
posed to do. 1t was largely through
these private detectives that Deputy
Bauer secured the evidence which he
will use in the prosecution of the
whisky dealer. Young has been an
extensive dealer for several years,
and his arrest is believed to be an
important one. He will make a Wig
orous defense to the charges that
have been made against him.
The whisky which is now held at
the Toledo government building will
be offered for sale in a short time.
1t includes considerable liquor aside
from that which was taken from
lYoung.-Toledo Blade.

The Mdyor'S Power.

Some voters are under the erron'
eous impression that under the new
municipal code, the mayors of Ohio
cities will be mere figureheads; that
the law takes from these officers all
real power. Below are given few
quotations from the code, which Ger,
tainly do not support that view;
Sec. l47. - The mayor shall be
chief conservator of the peace with
in the limits of the corporation.
Sec. las. - The chief of police
shall be the executive head of the
department, under the direction of
the mayor.
Sec. $50. . The chief of the
fire department shall be the execu-
tive head of the department, under
the direction of the mayor.
Sec. 152. Par 3. The mayor
shall have exclusive right to suspend
the chief of the police department
or the chief of the fire department
for incompetence, etc.
The mayor has the veto power
which makes him equal to more than
half of Council.
The mayor is a very important
official, and voters should make no
mistake. A great deal of the sue
cess of the administration of public
affairs rests with him, which is a fact

The FOXY SAX!
Started a Bank With Small
Funds. and Drew on
His Cheek
To Secure the Confidence of the
People of Quincy.

| The Quincy Bank has folded it's
tents and intents, and hied away to
other parts with $4,000 of the peo-
ple's money.
Mr.. Sax came to the village with
about $1,000 capital, drew on the con-
fdence of the people, displayed drafts
on banks that had no existence, start
ed to build a fine residence, with
money probably deposited by the
people, and was getting along swim
mingly, until last week, when
suspicion was aroused, that all
was not right, and a run on the bank
was started. But confidence was
somewhat restored before closing
hours, and the bank was allowed to
run till Tuesday, when Sax made an
assignment, and turned over what
was left of the peoples deposits, to
George Hahn, as Assignee.
But he had doubtless shipped most
of the money and good notes. and
there is but poor picking for the peo-
pie who have lost their good money
Through a savings department of
the bank he gathered in the small
savings of women and children, and
these with the greater losses, it is
believed. will foot up $4,000.
The bank, however, did not pass
into the hands of the assignee, but
was seized by Sheriff Kerr, on writ
~ c,,tfa fnstf-
tuted by w. ]. Specie, Sarah E. Ho-
yer and Sarah A. Cost.
The Sheriff levied on the safe and
furniture of the bank, which are
very fine, and what notes and money
he could find-the latter being only a
few cents and the notes being small,
and mostly worthless.
Persons who left notes with the
bank or gave good notes, have been
notified that they are held at Chica-
go and payment is required.
There are several cases of hardship
where persons lost all they had of
money, and were i'll able to sustain
the loss, though it was small.
One man had deposit of 81, $50, to
meet payment on a farm, May l.
The heaviest business men did not
place their deposits with the bank but
at Sidney, because they were not sat
isfied the bank was well backed.
Sax and family are still at Quincy.
p S.-Sax has. been forced into
ba nkruptcy, and this will take his
affairs out of the hands of the sheriff
and the assignee.

Attendance at the Meeting
OF the Commercial Club
Wednesday Evening.
Eloquent and FOrCible Address
BY Rev. T. H. Campbell.
And a Fine Paper on Sewerage BY
Mr.. Bradbury. of Columbus.

There was a splendid meeting of
the Commercial Club, Wednesday
evening. Mr.. Bradbury, of Columbus,
young man who thoroughly under
stood his subject and the man.
ner of presenting it, spoke upon
Sewerage" in all Its phases. His
address was well written. and treated
of the entire subject in plain and
forcible manner. He urged a system
of sewerage as one of great impor-
tance to a city, as a promoter of
health, and gave history of the
question of its various Developments
in all its phases, and showed the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of the
different systems. His paper was
very instructive and he was very
clear in all his points.
He said our city lies very favorably
for the gravitation system, the cheap
est of all, except the Southeast part.
which is drained by Blue Jacket. A
farm for the disposal of the sewage,
and the main pipe necessary to reach
the center of the city, we understood
him to say, would cost $4,000.
Mr.. Campbell made a stirring
speech on good citizenship" that
was vigorously applauded. He said
the failure in American Government
that most forcibly struck intelligent
foreigners, was our municipal gov
ernment, which arises from main
tanning political lines in municipal
matters, regardless of the merits OF
the candidates. Municipal govern
ment concerns the voters of a munic-
ipality, more than his State Govern
ment. There is nothing political in
the issues involved, and divisions
should not be on party lines. Men
who have our personal safety and
property in their care, who are to
have charge of our streets, our sani-
tary interests, our fire department!
our gas works, our water works, our
electric light works, and the making
and enforcement of our local laws,
should be men who are honest, capable
and devoted to the peoples interests,
and who are not looking after plums
or plunder for themselves.
His address was thoughtful and
C lear, and delivered with much force
