Raiding Mill*.
Atlanta, December 21—Illicit whisky la getiln?
▼cry plenty at thin Christmas season. Every uUlit
for the ] AHt two weeks successful raids on stills
have been inode by the revenue officers. To-night
five raids &ro arranged for.
A peculiar case is that of William Butee, deputy
revenue collector, who last night arrested his
nephew, Ijiil'.tyctte Bui»c, f.,r ill:, it ili-tillm/. '1 In*
arrest was luado in Forsyth county. A 65-gsllon
still and 1.200 gallons of beer were captured. La-
Fayctto is now in Folton jail.
Deputy Marshal Chisolm captured a still Saturday
night, near Kllijay, Gilmer county. About 1,000
gallons of beer wan destroyed.
Deputy Marshal Grant the »*ame night raptured
two stills iu one house. A man named Smith, who
lived lu the house, was arrested and la now in Ful-
ton jail. One of the stills Is very sma 1, being only
ten gallons. Collector Crenshaw is going to haTe it
burnished up and set up in his office os a trophy
aud ornament.
Five barrels of brandy were brought lu to-day
from Dawson county. They w ere the property of
of David M. Hurt, lie was a licensed fruit distiller.
Houu'timo ago ho was caught selling corn liquor.
When Officers McAfee aud Merrit went to arrest
him ho attempted to cut tbt tie?.# of the latt.
with a large, sharp knife Under the law, a licensed
distiller caught selling liquor other than that he is
licensed to sell, his still and stock, licensed, are
fiseated. The five barrels that came to-day, wen
confiscated by the government from Mr. Burt.
Nat Towell, of H*U county, was brought here to
day, and lodged In Jail tinder commitment from
the United States commlaslcner at Gainesville, for
-violating n-vonue laws.
M ). Abels, of Paulding county,committed by the
lissionerat Cartcrsville, for violating revenue
laws, found quarters to-day In Fulton Jail.
John Lumpkin, of Walker, and Alex Hopper, of
Murray, were lodged lu Fulton jail to-day, under
commitment by the Dalton United States commis
sioner for illicit work.
One of the Survivors.
Ati.hsta, December 22.—Mr. Charley
ton, who was hurt in the big wreck,
till a* the Ivey street hospitn’. Ho is in
a terrible condition. His palate was so scorched
that he cannot eat. Uls scalded hands hands have
swollen almost to tbo size of hia head. From tbo
waist up be cannot bear tlio tenderest touch.
He is still In bed but cannot
move. Mr. Bob Jones asked bim if he did not want
to sco a preacher to-day.
He said: -No. Do you think little burns like
these will kill a man. I won’t give up. I am not
going to die.”
Belton's fortitnde is marvelous. He hardly winces
when hi* fearful wounds are dressed. Tbo other
men at the hospital, wounded not half so bad aa be,
yell like Comanche* when their scald* are at
tended to.
Belton says he wishes to live just for one thing—
to whip the engineer who refuted to let him climb
Into his engine to warm after he had been almost
baked on that cold and fatal morning.

tbu prohibition election held the ‘25th ultimo.
Immediately upon the verbal announcement of
tbo judge's opinion, Ordinary Calhoun, who had
already canvaaaed the votes and had ready the
paper declaring the result, signed it in tho court
room.
When court met this morning Hr. Julias L.
Brown concluded his argument for the plaintiff,
which closed the case. At once Judge Clarke deliv
ered bis opinion, which la as follows:

Hsduond, Congressman from this district, intro
duced a most important measure. It Is a bill to
-Iteve from taxatiou all alcohol used in medicines
and tbe mechanic arts.
Among the Atlanta drugglsta who urged upon Mr.
Hammcud the importance of the measure Is Mr.
Walter A. Taylor, who said this morning:
Yes; I .wrote to Colonel Hammond in reference
to the bill, and In common with the druggists of
Atlanta, am glad to know that he has introduced
and will push the meaaure."
'Aa to the Importance of the bill?"
I regard it a most important measure. We do
not think that alcohol used In various medicines
and in ths mechanic arts should U taxed u It is
in liquors used merely as a beverage. Alcohol, you
know,| is in wide use as an Ingredient in medi
cines. There is hardly one in a thousand adminis
tered to patients into which alcohol does not enter
ingredient It tensed in morphine, quinine
and other medicines too numerous to mention. It
is also used extensively in hair oils, perfumes of all
kinds, and In all varieties of cologne, also lu pa
tent medicines. It is the great preservative in drug
stores. Its wide use by photographers and Jewel
ers, and in the veriou* mechanical arte is likewise
well known. Alcohol thus used is now taxed jnst
as alcobol used In liquors as a beverage la taxed?"
"la it taxed now?"
“Yea: with a single exception; alcohol used in
medical colleges as a preservative of dead bodies is
free of taxation. The importance of relieving from
taxation alcohol used In medicines and tho mechan
ic arte cannot be over-estimated."
"As to the good effects of the passage of such a
measure?"
“They will bo great. We think it unquestionably
wrong to tax alcohol used for the purposes above
pointed out the same aa alcohol per «r, or where U
enters Into liquors, etc., used merely as a beverage.
The passage of auch a measure, while it would be
an act of justice, would have the effect to benefit
both drngggists and people. It would unquestion
ably have the effect of cheapening all the medi
cines into which alcohol enters aa an ingredient,
and would also cheapen ths price of everything
turned out by the mechanic arts Into which alcohol
enters. It is plain that the bill Is a wise ‘
and it te to be hoped that it will become a law.’
THE LARGEST STILL.
Captured Christmas Eve Night in Chero
kee-Traveling liar room*.
Atlakta, December 26.—Collector Crenshaw says
that nearly every day he receives a telegram from
some one of bla deputies or other person, inform
ing him of wagons going through the county ped
dling illicit liquor. Moat of the oomplaints and in*
formation come from big counties. To-day a tele
gram waa received from Washington, Ga., saying
that a wagon was there with 175 gallons of peach
and apple brandy, upon which revenue stamps
were. There were two stamps that did not bear
ganger's marks or name; and that waa the reason
Mr. Crenshaw waa notified. He could do nothing
bul order, In csss of sale, that tbe goods bo held
until an investigation aa to the two stamps could bo
made.
There seems to be nothing in prohibition laws to
prevent the aale of liquor. It can only defeat the
county and State of the liquor tax. Were it not for
the United States revenue officers ths traffic would
virtually be without hindrance from the State ex
cept an enormous expense which tho State could
not afford, and which the tax-payers would not tol*
c.tote. It Is sn unwholesome state of affairs wh&re
State passes such lawa as it cannot enforce,
relies on the Federal government for their enforce
ment.
Deputy Colloctor McAfee, assisted by several oth
ers, made a successful raid Christmas eve night.
He captured the largest still yet taken, destroyed
4,0)0 gallons of beer, and confiscated fifty gallons
of corn liquor, and arrested three men. Tbe still
waa found near Moore's mill. In Cherokee county.

heard before Judge Rkhrrd Clark at 10 o'clock this
morning. Doctor* BldSey »ad Pinckney testified that
with Doctor Dan Howell they ha* thoroughly ex-
lned Mr. England. They agreed that every Indi
cation pointed to his recovery.
Upon this evidence, without going into tho case
on Us merits. Judge Clark stated that bs would at
once discharge Mr. Malece from custody. By agree
ment of Meson HU) and Mlltedge, opposing coun
