A CIRCUS IN HOC.
Carroll County Struggling With the Olomz
nnd the Code,
From the Carroll County, Ga.,Times,
Some daya ago there was ft show at Villa
Rica. An execution was issnod by W. D.
Jones, tax collector of Carroll county, for tho
$200 tax provided by tho tax act, and ono by
8. J. Brown, ordinary, for tho county tax of
$25. Sheriff J. M. Hewitt, with thoso fi. iaSj
proceeded to Dromon, whoro tho show was to
exhibit, and called on tho proprietor, Colonel
Hall, and demanded tho paymont of tho tax
and costs. Hall at onco began a system of
tactic* evidently designed to gain timo and at
length avoid tho paymont.
Hon. 8. E. Grow happened to bo In Bremen
and Mr. Hewitt asked him to bopresont at tho
interview with the showman, and to counsol
him as to tbo legal steps to be takon. Tho
two gentlemen woro furnished with tickets to
all tho departments oi tho show, tho proprie
tor saying that ho desired thorn to see it in or
der to convince thorn that ho was not exhibit
ing a circus, and was therefore not liable for
the tax. Howitt went through tho show, aud
admired tho performances, but atthesamo
timo, had an eyo to business. Observing that
tho property of the show was being rapidly
transferred to tho cars which itood on the
track o! tho Georgia Pacific, he decided it time
to act. Thanking tho proprietor for hit cour
tesy in extending to him and his friend tho
privileges of tho entertainment, he told him
that ho must now insist on a settlement of the
business oa which ho had como. Hall then
flatly rofusod to pay tho tax. Mr. Howitt
told him then that ho should proceed to lovy
od his property.
Finally llall proposed to deposit tho amount
of tho larger flfa. with tho proprietor of tho
hotel to bo held by him until tho question of
his liability should bo finally dotorminod. Mr.
Hewitt readily agreed to this and wont with
Hail to the hotel. Horo Hall made hia bad
faith apparent by proposing to deposit two
postcflfco money orders on Chicago for $100
each, in lieu of cash. Other cireumitancos
were not wanting to make this bad faith ap
parent to tbo mind of tboshorlff. Hall pro
posed to pay oil tho smaller
fi. fa., with costs and ponalty. amounting to
about $75, on condition of boing relieved of
tho $200 tax. This proposition was rojcctod.
While tho parley about tho doposit with tho
hotel proprietor was going on, tho show hands
transferred the property to tho cars. Seeing
that Hall was acting in bad faith and deter*
mined not to pay, Mr. Hewitt proceeded to
load of • -*- ~ »•--»
levy on i
animals. Ho notified
Arkansan river, opposite thl* pi arc. An area prob-
ably oi 200 acre* is literally filled with tho young
gniMhoppciN. It la said that there Insect* are not
dreaded as much as locusts, and will bo lncapablo
ol doing much damage,
r«ovii»KNCE, It. I., Juno fi.—William S.
Dorranco, for more than eighteen yours soc-
ond toller of tho Frovidenco National bank,
was arrested this ovoning for ombozzlomont.
Ho was arraigned bofrro United States Com
missioner Douglass, and in default of $50,000
bail was committed to jail. Ry his own confes
sion tho amount of his defalcation is
over $30,000, and extends over sov-
cral years. It was discovered
that a draft of $10,000 received early fn tho
week had not boon creditod to tho bank in New
York from which it camo, at it should havo
been, which fact led to an examination. Tho
directors, aided by exports, are making a care
ful examination of tbo books. Tho defalcation
will in no way afloct tho condition of tho
bank, as it has a largo surplus. Dorranco is
of a highly respectable family.
Mitchell, Dak., Juno 7.—A fow days ago
tho bank of Mitcholl closed its doors, and tho
eeiigneo is ready to report, but the depositors
are figuring with tho president for a settle-

Huye&on, cashier of tho Whilo J.ako branch,
when ordered to closo his bank, refused, ami
raid he had no funds belonging to tho Mitch
ell bank, but, on tho contrary, tho Mitchell
bank owed tho White Lake bank $11,609. Ho
further said that tho money belonging to his
White Lake depositors wonld not and should
not bo swallowed up in tho Mitchell bank
failure. On S&turduy Judgo Wulfing, attor
ney for tho assignee, went to White Xako to
take possession, and was Informed that he
could not enter the bank. Ho posted a notice
that tho bank was closed, but Cashier Huysson
and Assistant Cashier Ryan were prosont with
their depositors, end tore ofT the notice and
proceeded to open the bank. They posted
guards at tho entrances and began paying off
their depoaitors, whereupon Judge Wulfing
leaped ovor the counter and ordered a halt,
Ryan then Informed tho crowd that a tres
passer waa insido tho gate. No sooner were
tho words uttered than tho atlornoy was
pitched over tho counter and out into tho
street. Huysson continued to settle with tho
depositors until the lost one was paid fn full.
He then locked the bank and la carrying tho

Tho answer rccolvod was "hold It.” Howitt

over it. Mcanwbllo U&U had sent au agent
to Atlanta, who telegraphed that ho had pro

directing Collector Jonos to stop procoodiugs.
Sheriff Howitt. determined to dischargo his

tbo first morning train for Atlanta,
where ho obtainod an intorviow with Colonel

upon tho representations of Hall's sgont that
tho show was of a certain character, that is, a

tho only question, was, did tho dofendant ex

Ho advertised a circus. Ho had horses

From tho Montezuma, Ga. t Record,
For three or four mile* up the crook, along-
sido the railroad towards MarAhallvillo, is a

trees looking like a liugo cloud of emerald,
dotted everywhere with magnificent blooms,
pure, spotless and covered as with a mantle
ot milk. It is onough to inspire tho' mute,
who sang:
"Chalice, my palace,

When the God of day climbs the eastern

when "tbo moon, tho reaper

The Sad Wreck of a Once Brilliant South
ern Lawyer and Actor.
New York Cor. Philadelphia News.
Is Ron Osar do Bazan foremost among your lot
agination's stage heroes? Are his audacity, fer
vor, grace and ragged picturesqueness to you the
embodiment of melodramatic perfection? This
la so to me, because the first Impersonator of the
adventurer whom X ever saw was George Middle-
ton. as handsome an actor as ever lived,
and possessed of good . mimetic
skill, too. George belonged to au
honored family In bouth Carolina, and between
his twentieth end thirtieth years he made a flue
reputation ns a lawyer. Ills education, both
special and general, was excellent, and he had tho
,°J iH ir ' flbS,onert oratory. Ho married a beau-
llfUi belle, and had altogether a brilliant outlook,
no went for diversion into amateur theatri
cals, where his success mado him eager to
ro on tho professional Btage. His family and
irlends dissuaded him for a while, but at length
he threw away his bar prospects nnd becamo a
regular actor. Ills wife accompanied him In tho
venture,and for awhllo they were hopeful of joint
fame. It was at this time that I saw hla Don C;o*
sar. Tho lady-love in the play waa Clara Morris,
who, at that time, was an obacuro actress in tho
west, A most fascinating hero waa George. Well,
I raw him again this week, no ms walklug
anyhow. A positively shabby fellow, therefore,
wna so Incongruous that the women instinctively
drew aside their skirts frompoislblo contact with
Ua greasy and threadbare clothes. Ho was the
. ck of a man—a broken-down bummer. A rag
ged coat was buttoned close up to bis chin, doubt-
leu to cover tho absence of a shirt, his shoes
hardly concealed his bare toes and his trousers
were io old that tho patches at tho knees needed
patching. Suddenly no drew himself up out of
his abject manner, assumed an air of jauntlneu,
land lilted his nsplcsshatas bo bowed with the
grace of a cavalier to a woman who politely re
turned bis salutation. Sho was Clara Morris. Ho
was her mimic Don Cwsar ol other days—tho rum-
ruined George Middleton. He has for a yoar or
two been a veritable tramp. Uts wife stack to him
faithfully as long as there was the slightest
Usque actress.
