A STORM AT MACON.
Macon, June 16.—This afternoon at
4:80 o’clock, during the progress of the
Macon-Columbus game of ball, the wind
blew a terrific gale, followed by thunder,
lightning and the hardest rain that has
fallen in Macon in years. It came up
very suddenly and caught 1,000 people
on the grounds. Four hundred ladies
occupied seats and the wind
rocked the grand stand like a cradle. It
became almost dark, the black clouds
coming to the earth and seeming to envel
op all the light. The storm came near
causing a panic. The rain fell tor half an
hour, during which the people were com
pelled to stand and bear it. It is needless
to say that the crowd left disgusted.
“When the rain came up the record for
each side was one and one.

A COUNTEHFEITEII CAUGHT.
After Sixteen Years Alonxo Puget, the
Coiuer, Captured in Kentucky.
From the Ntw York IleriiUl.
Louisville, Ky., June 16.—United
States Marshal Gross and Detective Bauer
returned from Versailles this morning
with Alonzo F'uget, who is charged
with counterfeiting. The capture is
the most important that has been made
In many years. Kuget is one of the best
known and most successful counterfeiters
in America, and his record covers pages
in the books of the secret service. An
expert engraver, he bus organized gang
after gang ol confederates and
produced the most deceptive cur
rency ever uttered as a fraud
upon the government. lie was first heard
ol in New York six b en years ago, where
he was the leader of the most stubborn
and expert gang of counterfeiters that
the detectives ever encountered. This was
finally broken up by one of the crooks turn
ing Stale’s evidence, but Kuget himself
escaped, and he was next beard of in
Pennsylvania, where heopernted for seve
ral years in despite of a dozen government
detectives, who at.different times attempt
ed to hunt him down. At last the State
became too warm for him and he disap
peared, throwing the officers completely
off the scent as to his wherualsiuts.
Ills LAST RENDEZVOUS.
Eight years afterward it became known
that he was snugly Intrenched in the
mountains of Tennessee, where he hud
been since his departure from Penn
sylvania, with hi* house as the rendez
vous and himsbli the chief of all the coun
terfeiters in the South. About the time a
descent was to be made upon him by
tue otlleers, ho obtained information of
It tnrougb some of his spies and disap
peared. He then tiecume the head of the
notorious Crabtree gang, which was
looted out in 1K76 and most of It*
n>< tubers captured. Crabtree resolved
ten years, Morgan twelve years
j and Stoll, another of the members, ten
| years imprisonment in the peniten
tiary, where they are still serving out
1 their sentence. Fuget himself wus re
; ported as having been killed in one of the
many skirmishes with the government
officers. It was not long, however, be
fore his peculiar counterfeit was again
observed by the Treasury experts, and
the detectives were once more placed on
his track. By this time he had come to
be regarded as the most skillful and dan
gerous counterfeiter in the country, and
every possible effort was made to obtain a
clew to the place where he was working.
THE ARREST.
Nothing came of it until last Wednes
day. when United States Marshal Gross
was secretly informed that Fuget could
be found about nine miles south of Ver
sailles, where he went six weeks ago, and
was quietly preparing to work with his
dies. The Marshal arranged to have Fu
get decoyed into the woods by an old pal,
and arrested him at 10 o’clock last
night. He hud been persuaded to
strike off some bills that night
and the Marshal’s confederate bad
called for Fuget in a buggy to take him
and his tools to the place where the work
was to be done. Fuget protested that he
was a poor old man and a quiet citizen.
He weakened, however, when the Marshal
pulled out the bag of counterfeiters’ tools
from under the buggvseat, and after that
refused to talk, although be said this
afternoon that he intended to make a
clean breast of everything before the ex
amining trial on Monday.
Detective Bauer regards it as the most
important arrest in ten years. Hundreds
of tools of the finest and latest pattern were
found in the bag he had with him. In ad
dition were the dies of a two-dollar Treas
ury note, series of 1880; a five-dollar note,
vignette of Jackson, series of 1875, and a
ten-doliar silver certificate, series of 1880.
These counterfeits have given more trou
ble to banks than any others extant, and
demonstrate in themselves the import
ance of the capture.
Fuget has recently been calling himself
Fuzine and he save that he is 65 years
old, but he looks ten years older. Decre
pit, stooped and feeble looking, one would
take him to be on the edge of the grave.
But his movements are nervous and lull
of strength.
A WOMAN’S FLYING MACHINE
The Lady Aeronaut Making Aerial Navi
gation and Safe.
Mohawk, N. Y., June 13.—Mrs. Carl
Myers of this village, better known as
‘‘Carlotta,” the lady aeronautist, has
lately obtained letters patent on several
devices pertaining to aerial navigation.
She says she believes that the day is not
far distant when people will navigate the
air as readily as they now plough the
seas. A recently patented fixture is at
tached to a hydrogen gas balloon, and
consists of a collapsical car, comprising
the rudder platform which Las carried her
on over 150 voyages in space. This plat
form, surrounded by hammock netting
and supported by an expansion hoop con
nected to the balloon by cords is de
scribed as somewhat like a light boat on
water, and tips or changes its plane or
level with every different position of the
aeronaut standing upon it. either through
alteration of the centre of gravity of the
entire air ship or through the shortening
or lengthening of the netting meshes. Al
terations in the level of this platform con
vert it into a rudder like that in the stern
of a boat while the balloon ascends, and
when descending the lower or advancing
edge of the platform guides the balloon
in auy direction, just as would a paddle or
oar extended lrotn the bow of a boat—
thus'tbe balloon descends toward any side
of the platform which the aeronaut may
depress by stepping upon it. This simple
and exceedingly effective aparatus iscov.
eredbyone claim of the patent.
Resting upon the expansion hoop of the
car is the crank shaft of a screw propel
ler. composed of a cloth sail, which
twists into screw’ form as soon as the
shaft is turned, and creates powerful cur
rents ol air flowing rearward, and by
alterations of ancle or level serves to ele
vate, depress, or deviate the course of any
attached aerial body, or give it steerage
wav for guidance by a rudder. This ap
paratus spreads five leet across, moves
as easily as a lady’s fan, and folds up as
compactly as a parasol.
At the rear is a kite-shaped rudder, com
posed ol a large square of cloth stretched
upon tour arms, joined by a common
pivot in the centre. This is attached to
the car by one arm through a universal
joint, permitting the rudder to occupy 1
any desirable position in horizontal,verti
cal, or inclined plane, so that a single
rudder thus performs the work which has :
hitherto demanded both a horizontal and
a vertical rudder, either separately or in
combination. This apparatus either acts
to guide the balloon during its natural as
cent or descent, or the aeronaut at will
can give any direction to the airship by
revolving the propeller sail toward any
point, or by projecting the air flung from
it against the surface of the rudder kite.
The apparatus can perform a greater va
riety of evolutions than a bird’s wings,
spreads more surface than any bird or
other aerial mechanism, weight for
weight, and has the ability to create at
any time a wind for its own sails, and can
yet furl its wings almost as suddenly as a
bird.
The apparatus has thus far proved of
great practical service, and demonstates
that a common balloon may be readily
moved up, down, or around in the air by
a man's unaided efforts—or rather, by a
woman’s efforts—and on landing be re
lieved of danger of dragging.
BIUDGKI’OKT lAKMKKS’ ALARM
The Unexplained Midnight Muster In a
Connecticut Gorge.
Bridgeport, June 16.—Samp-Mortar
Bock, live miles from this place, is just
now a very much talked about apot, and
all manner of tales are told of happen
ings there. The farmers who reside in
its vicinity speak of the nocturnal visits
made by strangers to a cave under the
rock. Theac visitors come front various
directions, driving in wagons, and when
they have passed up a deep and narrow
gorge leading to the cave the approach is
guarded by a large white animal supposed
to be a bull dog. The men work until near
daylight, and their flitting lanterns are
watched at a very respectful distance by
the frightened yeomen of that section.
The rock gets its name from the huge
depression in its top, where report has it
the Indian ground his samp with pestle.
The rock is nearly yOO feet high, and the
view from Ha top is a magnificent and far
reaching one. Indian inscriptions are
found on the rocks, and for years past it
has been the resort of owls, snakes, bats
and foxes. A number of farmers recently
made a day visit to the spot, anil found ii
lot of spades and picks. These the larm
ers seized. There was a quantity of fresh
earth evidently taken from the cave.
Yesterday noon George Arnold, a fHt
detective, and Frank B. Taylor, a slim
one, went to the cave. There is a very
small opening leading into the cavern,
and Taylor was pushed through by his
confrere. He said that a room about
fifteen feet square had been cut In the
earth, but a fishing pole tailed to roach
the bottom oi the ofuunber. Who the
diggers are and whv they are digging no
one bereaboutsban yet discovered. Tnere
are any number of traditions connected
with the place, and the general impres
sion is that Home one lias had a dream of
great treasures und has associated him
self with other fools in probing for it.

everywhere acknowledged to be the stand

Macon, Ga., June 16.—J.H. Hightower,
the contractor reported in the News’
special yesterday as being cut by R. C.
Campbell, died to-day at 11:30 o’clock.
Campbell is still in jail.
Tom Shiver, 14 years old, a white boy,
whose father is an engineer on the Cen

bathing in Peter’s pond, near the city.
A telegram was received in Macon to
day announcing the suicide of James A.
Knight, of this city, by shooting himself
through the head. Mr. Knight was aged
63 years, and was for twenty years mas
ter car builder of the Central Railroad
shops here. He killed himself early this
morning in Milner. He had loaned Cftpt.
A. J. White, former President of the Ma

went to Milner Friday to urge payment.
Failing to get it he shot himself through
the head, leaving a note to Mr. Woite,
saying: “You have my last dollar. Send
my remains to Macon.”
Julian Rogers, city editor of the Macon
Telegraph, while returning lrotn the
Wesleyan College entertainment last
night, came near being killed by a pistol
bail which grazed his head. It is sup
posed to be a case of attempted assassina
tion.

ELOPED FROM CAPITOL HILL.
A Young Couple of Washington Go Out
for a Walk and Fail to Return.
Washington, June 15.—“1 have
enough money to keep myself and wife
for six months anyhow, and we have gone
to Denver to spend our honeymoon.”
Such was the theme of a letter received
by Mr. Kernlig, of Capitol Hill, early one
morning this week, when his daughter
failed to appear at breakfast. The writer
ot the letter in question, Alex
ander Mosier, had been paying
his addresses to Miss Lulu
Kendig for several years, but as he
had just passed his majority and the
young lady was scarcely 18, her parents
thought they could wait a while before
getting married. One afternoon Mr. Mo
sier called to see Miss Kendig, and the
pair left ostensibly to take a walk, but
they did not return and the
family was somewhat ularmed
about it. The mystery was cleared
up the next morning when a postal card
from the young lady announced that she
had married Mr. Mosier the evening be
fore in Bultimore and tbut they were
going West to enjoy life. This was sup
plemented by the letter from the groom
announcing that be had a six months’
supply of tunds.
All the parties are well known and
popular in society circles here, and con
siderable amusement has been created by
the escapade, as there was no seri
ous opposition, except on account
of the youth of the parties. There
was no irate father in the case,
although the course pursued by Mr.
Mosier hns had a tendency to make one,
for Mr. Kendig has not very romantic
ideas about runaway marriages. It was
from tiiis same locality that a young lady
recently eloped and married au old beau,
while her cards had been issued for a
wedding to a New York stock broker.
The young couple are expected to return
to the city and be forgiven.
GRANT’S IttG DOCTORS’ BILDS,
Rumors That They Are Paid by George
W. Childs.
From th 4 Xetrt.
New York, June 13.—There are two
stories current in regard to the heavy
medical bills which are being incurred by
Gen. Grant. Four very costly physicians
have been employed almost continuously
during the past six months. It is custom
ary in this city for practitioners to render
their bills to their regular patients on
June 1 for the preceding half year's ser
vices. A careful estimate of the aggre
gate of the four accounts gives $40,000
as tbeMim which, judging by the quantity
l and quality of the work done by the four
| doctors, must have been demanded at the
I beginning of the present month. Dr.
Douglas now lives In the house, neglect
ing his other practloe altogether, and Dr*,
j Sands, Shrady uml Barker have averaged
Ia call per day, counting In the days which
I they have devoted entirely to the case.
: All ure specialists, accustomed to large
1 fees.
The suggestion that they nro content
to accept the incidental advertising ns in
lieu ofcnsli remuneration is not tenable,
because the job bus not, on the whole,
made good reputations for the two whose
status could be raised by connection with
a celebrated case. One story is that
George W. Childs has paid the bills, flo
was here about June I, a visitor at the
Grunt house. His intimacy with the
General is well known, and his liberality
is proverbial. Mr. Childs has since de
cllned to tell whether he met any or all of
the medicul expenses. A second ex
planation is that the physicians have
taken in payment orders bn Webster A'
Cos., the firm which is to publish Grant's
book. The income from that source is
bound to is* large. Mark Twain, a mem
ber of Webster A Cos., says that he does
not personally know of any such arrange
ment, but that nls assent or thHt of his
partner would not be essential.
It is certain that the General’s present
resources yield only $37,000a year, which
would barely cover the ordinary expenses
of his household, leaving nothing lor such
immense doctoring hills as must have
been now tendered. The reason why Dr.
Douglnaf is kept on gourd day and night
Is the patient’s expectation that he will
eventually choke to death, and he wishes
to have expert help at hand. While he
sleeps, sitting in a chair, unable to lie
down for an hour,l>oiiglas occupies a bed
iu an adjoining room, with a bell so hung
that a pull by a cord at Grant’s hand will
awaken him. This precaution is In Mddl.
tion to the watching of a negro attendant.
THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Cot. Casey Perfect* HU Arrangement*
for Additional Safeguard*.
From the Washington St,ir.
The committee of scientists who ex
amined the Washington monument alter
it was struck by lightning have not yet
made a formal report of the changes they
deem desirable to prevent a similar acci
dent. As it is known, however, that their
principal recommendation will be to sup
ply additional points on the roof of the
monument for the lightning to strike, Col.
Casey decided to take immediate step 6
for temporary prevention from lightning,
fearing that a chance bolt might strike
the monument again and cause even
more damage before the entire changes
which might be rpcommended could
be made. With this view, after submit
ting his plan to one of the committee,
who immediately approved it, as it was
in the direct line of their intended recom
mendations, Col. Casey went to Phila
delphia yesterday and ordered four copper
rods three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness, which are to extend to the outside
of the roof of the monument, one for each
face of the roof, and to be In direct con
nection with the four copper rods which
extend from the iron pillars which com-
Eose the framework of tne elevator to the
ase of the capstone. The four additional
rods will each terminate in seven branch
ing gilded needle points. It has been de
termined by experience that the inte
rior lightning-rod apparatus is capable
of conducting all the electricity
that could possibly come from ar.y
storm, aud with the additional outside
facilities it is thought that all danger
from lightning will be averted. There
will be, with the albuminium tips, twenty
sine lightning rods on the root of the
monument for the lightning to strike and
be conducted thence without damage into
the ground. It is almost impossible for a
bolt to strike at such an angle as to escape
the roof with its many attractions. Work
men are now engaged in constructing a
scaffolding to surround the roof, and it
will be in place by next Thursday, when
the rods are expected to arrive. Unless
some unforeseen accident interferes the
new lightning rods will be in place
and ready for duty by next Friday
night. In case the committee have
any additional recommendations to
make they can be carried out without
interfering with the precautions taken in
advance. Since the accident occurred
Col. Casey has been daily receiving com
munications from every part of the coun
try giving advice and recommendations
for the tuture protection of the structure.
Probably every lightning rod agent in the
country has written to Col. Casey in glow
ing terms of the peculiar advantages of
his rod, which, if placed upon the monu
ment, will insure safety in the future.
Many of them evidently believe that noth
ing has ever been done to prevent the
monument from being struck. Some ot
the recommended preventions are ridic
ulous. An anonymous letter received
yesterday advised that the entire roof be
covered with metal, and that the cover
ing project ten inches beyond the faces
of the shaft, so as to ward off the bolt
from them.
William Kissed the Turtle.
From the Baltimore Sun.
William Geogliegnn walked into the Central
police station ami told ( apt. Lonmin that he
had been beaten by a crowd of men on South
Front street. There was a good deal ot blood
about his face, and his appearance went to
verify hi* story. The Captain investigated
the story, and the men charged with the as
sault went to the station in a body. They ex
plained that they were standing on the street
when a man came up with a snapping turtle
in his po-sessiou. lie dared any of them to
kiss the turtle, but one of them being a dealer
in llsh and crabs, warned them not. to attempt
the feat, Geoghegan, who was looking on,
lioldly said that lie would do it, and the turtle
was thrust at him. When he got near enouah
the turtle snapped at him, and catching hold
of his upper liu. bit a piece out. The blood
ran over his face and neck, giving him the ap
pearance of a much assaulted man. when, in
tact, theonlv wound lie had was the one in
tne lip. When the explanation was made
Geoghegan did not deny it.
