A Telegraph reporter yeiterday call

State* court, and naked him for an
xpreaalon ag to the dlacusaion
council over Alderman Jonei' resolu
tion in the matter of the recent ha
teas corpus proceedings In which the
federal and recorder's court* are In
conflict. Judge Speer said:
I would say nothing with regard to
the causeless and unprovoked attack
of Mr. Jones but for the reason thut
desire to prevent, as far as I properly
can, a possible defiance of the crlm
Inal laws of the United States by cer
tain misguided persons in this com
munity.
If I am wrong In the conclusion
that It Is utterly beyond the Jurlsdlc
tion of a police magistrate to sentence
to the chnlngang those who commit
lolatlons of minor municipal ordln
ances, every consideration of public
erder and respect due the constituted
authorities requires that I should be
set right by the appellate court having

Wife Has Hand In th. Affair.
A novel charge to come before the
recorder yesterday morning was that
of gambling against Edna Walker, a
negro woman. Judge Nottingham
stated when this charge was called
that ft was the first of the kind he had
er handled. The woman waa cap
tured by the patrol officers In Cherry
alley. Brevet Lieutenant Callaway
and Detective Amason stated that they
stood at a window for several mlnutea
and watched the game In progress be
fore any one discovered their pres
ence.
Edna Walker, according to this re
port, was dealing the cerds In the game
and took a lending part. The hearing
before Recorder Nottingham resulted
In binding the woman over to the city
court under a bond of ItOO. She wont
to Bibb jail In default of this.
Another negro engaged In this game,
who gave his name as John Phln.-ixe*.
was also bound over to the court under
similar bond nnd went to Jail.
Phlnnaee's wife appeared nt tile
barracks yesterday afternoon and told
her husband that she had the money
to pay hla fine and she wanted him to
go down to the court and get out '■
the trouble.
"I tol' you 'bout cornin’ home late.’
she said, as she looked through the
bars at him. “I got money to pay yo'
fine, but it alnt goln* to no lawyer.
Jcs go an' tel de Jedge you been In de
game!" With this statement from the
woman the negro went to Jail to await
a hearing before Judge Hodges.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
New Way of Using Chamberlain’s
Cough Rtmedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durban. Natal. South Africa, lays:
"As a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy Is a cure suitable for old and
yuung, I pen you th* following:
neighbor of mine had a child Juat over
two months old. It had a very bad
cough and the parents did not know
what to give It. I suggested that If
they would get a bottle of Clumber
■ain't Cough Remedy and put some
upon the dummy teat the baby waa
sucking It would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured tha ha.
by." This remedy la for aala by all
druggists.
FEDERAL GRAND JURY.
Judge Speer Draws Ssvsnnsh Grand
and Petit Jurors.
Judge Emory Speer yesterday drew
the federal grand Jury for the 8avan,
nah session of the court. This body
la ordered to Savannah on next
day to begin the work of the rxtober
term. The petit Jurors were
drawn for this term of the court In
Savannah.
Tha federal grand Jury for the Oc
tober term In the Macon court will J
begin work her* tomorrow morning,
judge Speer will be in Macon until I
tha session of two days Is over end I
then will go to Savannah to take up |
the work of the court tn that city <
which win begin on Monday.
ness the fact that the City of Macon
refuses to appeal from the ruling of a
national court and yet proceeds dolly
and hourly to disregard that ruling
and in doing so to deprive hundreds
of citizens of their liberty and consign
them to the most shameful and degrad
ing punishment which the mind of
man can conceive. Besides If I am not
wrong the city or Its officers and the
county officers are accumulating
claims for damages for false Imprison
ment against them which may possibly
Involve the taxpoycr tn the heaviest
liability or bring ruin to Individuals.
Mr. Jones boldly declares that
know I nm wrong. This recklcas state
ment is gravely unjust. Indeed so far
from this being true, many of the most
eminent lawyers and the foremost luw
magazines in the United States declare
In effect that the decision Is lmpreg
noble. That venerable and illustrious
Jurist, ex-Senator George F. Edmunds,
In experience and profundity perhapn
tho grentest constitutional lawyer in
this country, for mnny year* chairman
ot the Bcnate Judiciary committee,
writes In a letter which la before mo
as I make this statement:

PETERSBURG. Nov. 28.—Tho
meeting of the Zemstvos is ended the
members today dispersing to their
home* nnd in a few days tho news of
their action will bo spread through
out Russia, to the Finnish gulf, the
Caspian sea, Polnnd and tho Urul

spirits confident that no matter what
the Immediate results. the days No
vember 19 to 22 will mark n, turning
point In Russian history. ”Te Rubi
con Is crossed; no retreat Is poa-
nlble.” is the unanimous sentiment.
At last night's Joint meeting of edl
torn and literary men nnd tho Zemst-
volsts the greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed nnd the fullest support was
pledged to the program adopted. In
terior Minister Bvlntnpolk-Mlraky Iiuh
informed the Zemstvolst* that he
will lay the memorial resolutions be
fore the emperor and while he mndo
no promises regarding hi* personal
recommendation* the Zemstvolflts&ro
nntlsfled that the prince will not lenve
the emporor in the dark regarding
the breadth, strength nnd import of
the movement. There le an Intima
tion that the emperor has nlrendy
been advised of the action of tho
meeting and hns expressed himself
unfavorable to It. According to

Thereupon, the etory goes, the em

opinion wae practically united against

to have replied briefly;
"I do not wish to see my non blown
