It ay.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 25,-Tbe State Fair
Opened to-day under splendid auspices.
Although the dust was stifling in ttie city
It caused no inconvenience at tbe park,
where it bad been pretty successfully
laid. On all the roads tbe trains brought
fi> a number of people, mostly exhibitors,
and by 11 o’clock the park contained a
lively tbiong. The number of visitors
was not large. It b( inti generally under
stood that tbe fair would not be fully un
der way until Wednesday,. tbe interim
being tilled by exhibitors getting their
displays in position and shape.
THE GROUNDS.
The grounds are iu perfect order, not
withstanding no ram has fallen in such a
lone time. Tbe management has prudent
ly arranged to have them watered daily,
which Is (lone by a steamer, the river near
by furnishing tbo water. Tbe dust, in
Ibis manner, is perfectly laid and the
comfort ot the visitor heightened. In
general appearance the park never looked
better nor in re .nviting. Capt. Frank S.
Johnson, of tbe Public Property Commit
tee. has been energetic in putting .he sev
eral buildings iu trim, while Park-keeper
Fennell has tbe grounds in as good order
as if they were a flower garden. Under
the lingering influence of an Indian sum
mer tbe grass is still iresh and green, be
sides being neatly trimmed, and the trees
In thick iollage. The flowers and shrub,
bery in luxuriant growth add to and com
plete tbe beauty ot tne picture.
SCENE ON OPENING DAY.
The scene at the pai k to-day, opening
flay, was an animated one. The Presi
dent and Secretary of the fair, tbe vice
presidents and superintendents, besides
their assistants, were all ou band In their
respective offices, with their coats off and
sleeves rolled up, busy as bees, answer
ing numerous letters oi inquiry,assigning
apace, booking entries, tagging them, and
in a dozen otUer way s starting off the ma
chinery of what is destined to be the
largest and most successful tair in the
history of tbe society. About the budd
ings, too, were presented busy scenes.
Tbe click ol the hammer was heard in all
tbe departments, which were tilled with
lardy exb biters getting their displays in
order, i hey are coming in constantly,
and it is not expected that the entries will
lie complete for several days. Outside
tbe buildings work als o goes on,being en
gaged in principally by tne hucksters and
the proprietors of the sideshows, arrang
ing their staDds, booths, galleries, tents,
etc.
RUN OVER THE DEPARTMENTS.
Although the eutnes are oy no means
complete, space is being rapidly tilled,
and me effect already Is decided and
pleasing. Tbe displays are handsomer
and more extensive man ever before, and
it would be a bard matter to decide whicn
department excels.
In Machinery Hall tbe number of cot
ton gins on exhibition is larger tban ever
before. A leature of this exhibit is anew
Toller gin, exhibited by Col. H. D. Capers,
■wnicb is oue of tbe centres of attraction
for machinists and cotton men.
It is now learned that the Mason cotton
harvester cannot be gotten here. This
will prove disappointing news, as it
would have added untold interest to this
particular department.
In other respects, however, the displays
in this ball are far above the average in
every respect, and will afford an hour of
solid Interest to the visitor. The exhibits
are of tne usual order, such as cotton
gins, feeders and condensers, corn mills,
grist mills, saw mills, stationary and
portable engines, and all manner of farm
ing implement, water wheels, etc,
PREMIUM HALL.
In tbis hall tbe most aciive prepara
tions have been made. It is here that five
agriculiural clubs make displays, occu
pying the entire first floor. The Holton
and Bolingbroke displays occupy the two
ends oi the ball, making a complete and
most interesting show in themselves. Mr.
Edgar Boss has in hand tbe Holton dis
play, and Farmer W ad ley the Bolingbroke
exhibit. Each have their special designs.
Into which have been emptied tbe bins
and cribs and barns and fields of Bibb and
Monroe o >unties. Besides these, whica
may be mentioned as tbe principal ones,
there are others ol more or less pretension
and atiraetiveness. taking up every avail
able inch oi space iu the hall.
FLORAL HALL.
This ball is well tilled with mer
cautile displays of various kinds,
all well arranged and very attrac
tive. Tne second floor is covered with a
variety of other displays, including
the department of needlework, which is
exceptionally large and handsome. On
the third floor ol this building is the art de
partment, which is literally jammed with
art material of all kinds, Inc. tiding sev
eral largo and very line collections of
drawings, paintings, panels, placqucs,
etc., from all pans of the Stale. This dis
play is said t<> bo ahead of anything of the
kind ever before made at the lair.
AMONG THE HORSES.
A talk with Steve Hughes, the well
known horseman, shows that the display
of horse flrh is the finest ever made at
the park. He savs the racing will be the
best in Macon in rnanv years. He has
attended a number of fairs here, and has
been on the grounds since August. The
following horses are now on the grounds:

KEE IN THI ANTIPODES.
Tbe Cftptntn’H Surer.sfut Work at Trad

IslMudera.
From t7i* Few Vort .Iks.
In the quiet old Connecticut town of
Granby, about fitteen miles from Hart
ford, there has lived since colonial days a
fam.ly oi Holeombs. They were farmers,
like almost everybody else there, luto
one branch of tne family there was born
about sixty years ago Clayton P. Hol
comb. He had a brother and a sister.
Clayton when a boy resolved to leave the
homestead and seek his fortune out in
the world. He bad a passion for tbe sea,
though he bad never seen it, and before
be was 20 he went to New Bedlord
and shipped in a whaliug vessel before
the mast. His brother remained on the
homestead, while his sister, when shp
grew up, married a cigar maker in Suf
tield, Coun., named Manuel Gutierrez.
Yesterday Mrs. Mauuel Gutierrez came
to thla city to Beek information in the a'-
tempt she is making to claim from tbe
Spanish government the fortune whica
her brother, Capt. Clayton W. Holcomb,
is reported to have left, mainly at the
Caroline Islands in the south Uacilic. It
bas been reported in Spanish papers to
have been as great as $5,000,000.
It was not long at.er young Clayton
went before tbe mast that he became
Captain of the whaling ship Chandler
Price, which was sold at tbe time ot tbe
war and taken South as a part of the
“stone fleet.” He afterward commanded
other whaling vessels, and cruised a'.l
over the world. He was lucky and shrewd
and made money. He never forgot his
home, and wrote often to his mother and
sister. At long intervals he came home
to Granby. Tbe last time was seventeen
years ago. One day while on this last
visit he went to Hartford, and when he
returned home he told his sister that he
had made bis will.
“I don’t expect to die for some time
vet,” ne said, “but 1 can't tell what may
happen. I wanted to fix it so that if 1
should die my mother should have tbe use
of my property till her death, when, after
giving a little to my halt sifter, you shall
have half and my brother half. There is
enough of it, so that you will not need to
work any more. All l waut you to do is
to take care of it.”
Alter that he was heard of from all
quarters. He traded in furs from Alaska,
and made regular trips from san Fran
cisco. He wrote that he was growing
richer, and owned his own ship. Ten years
ago he started out trom Hong Kong to And
the wreck of the Pacific Mail steamship
Japan. He was the lucky one, and spent
some time in trying to raise her. ile sent
to England for cable lavers, but tbe under
current was too strong aud tbe work
had to be abandoned. Then he turned
his attenlion exclusively to the Caro
line Islands, the large archipelago in the
Pacific about five hundred miles east ot
the Philippines. He had been trading
w T ith the inhabitants ol tbe Central Car
olines for some time before, but his
shrewd head conceived the Idea of im
proving the islands lor mercantile pur
poses. Tbe islands had been claimed bv
Spain since Saavedra discovered them in
1528, but Spain bad done nothing for them.
When he first wenttriore there were no
white men on tne islands. He selected
the Island of Y'ap for his headquarters
and built a trading station there, which
was the first building on the island. Yap
is one ol the largest of the four hundred
or five hundred islands which form
the Central Caroline group. It is ten
miles iu length. From time to time
letters came to the little post office in
Granby for tbe Captain’s aged mother,
telling about his progress. He wrote that
there was an excellent harbor on tbe
southeast side of Y ap, that be was bring
ing goods from Hong Kong to trade lor
the coacoanuts, arums, betel nuts and
beeswax ot the natives. He said in one
letter that he had become owner of a large
fleet of merchant vessels, which plied
about among the islands and went back
a-id forth from Hong Kong and the Phil
ippines. He wrote that he bad built two
wharves and was constructing a third,
and about 1878 he wrote that ho had
bought from the Spanish government the
island ot Y'ap. It was still to be under
Spanish government, but all its revenue
was to accrue to him. The nearest Span
ish Consul was at Manila, in tbe Philip
pines. Then he went on building stores
and dwellings. The inhabitants of Y'ap
became more civilized loan their neigh
bors. Villages were laid out regularly
and streets were paved, and tbe Spanish
papers began to talk of tbe fabulous
wealth ol Capt. Holcomb.
Brother-in-law Manuel Gutierrez, who
had meantime moved his cigar shop to
mis city, saw the papers and kept them.
One winter's day in 1884 Mrs. Gutierrez,
who still staid with her mother in the
old homestead, got a letter Irotn the
Granby post office wnich brought the first
bail news. Capt. Holcomb hail written it
from Manila, where he had gone to ask
protection front the government. Capt.
Holcomb, in improving Yap, bad lined
his pockets, but had also made Yap a
place to be coveted. In 1884 a German
man 01-war sailed in, toreilown the Span
ish flag Irom the Captain’s station and
set up the flag of Germany. The Spanish
papers began to take up the outrage, and
prominently mentioned Capt. Holcomb,
whose name stood at the head of a peti
tion to King Alfonso to look out for his
flag.
All through the first part of 18,so no let
ter came from Capt. Holcomb. At last one
Uav Mr. Gutierrez saw in Los Novedades
t tie bare announcement that in May he had
been assassinated in the island ot l ap. It
vias about the time that the dispute be
tween Germany and Spain regarding Yap
and other islands was referred to tbe
Hope for arbitration. The Hope decided
in lavor ot Spain, though Germany was
allowed to keep coaling elusions and
s une plantations on tne islands. Mrs.
Gutierrez waited in vain for some infor
mation regarding the death of her brother.
In November she wrote to Secretary Bay
ard, and he replied Unit he
had heard nothing of Capt.
Holcomb’s death. Capt. nolenrnb iad
claimed at; American citizenship all his
tile, and at every port he entered. A few
months later she wrote to the American
Consul at Manila, who replied ttiat he
had had unofficial information. She wrote
to Secretary Whitney, to the American
i onsul at Hong Kong, to the Minister at
Madrid,and to all points that could pos-i
--biy give her information. Officially she
could get iiu information. Secretary Whit
ney said that a man-01-war hud reported
Capt. Holcomb’s death at Washing ton. and
lie aovised her to write to ( apt. AleGlen
sey at Yokohama. She did so, and re
ceived this reply:

“I do not believe," said Mrs.'Gutierrez
to a reporter of the Sun. “that Capt. Hol
comb met his aeatu in tbai way. The
Spanish officials have manifested a singu
lar reticence about it. Tbe Spanish Con
sul here only the other day professed ab
solute ignorance of it. The Spanish pa
pers have suddenly cased io talk about
his deaita and h s enormous wealth. I
think there has been some underhanded
business about it, and f nave told the
Stale Departmental Washington so, but I
get n<> satisfaction. 1 want to get at the
truth.”
Capt. Holcomh’s will, which he made
seventeen years ago, when be was last
home, is still with tbe lawyer at Hartford,
ft will be opened soon and proven, and
steps wdl probably lie taken to force a
restitution of tli-> ’millions which Capt.
Holcomb controlled in the mercantile
busiuess of tbe Southern Pacific.
FATHER GIUSTINIANI.
A Priest YVho was Believed to Pos
sess Miraculous Power.
Baltimore, Oct. 28.—The ceremonies
attending the funeral of Father Giustini
ani, the late rector of the Catholic church
of the Immaculate Conception, drew out
to-day an unusually large number of peo
ple. for the dead father was looked upon
by all bis congregation as a man of more
extraordinary qualities tban tbe average
priest. He was regarded as a worker of
miracles, and tbe respect aud affection in
which he was held was fully shown in the
great grief displayed by tbe people of his
church to-day. Cardinal Gibbons was
tbe officiating prelate, and he was at
tended by all tbe most prominent clergy
of the city. Tne church was crowded
both at tbe early masses and the hign
mass of requiem.
F’atcer Giustiniani came here about
twenty years ago. He was of noble birth,
the eon of the Marquis of Giustiniani,
and a young man of excellent promise.
His family was military, and his lather
achieved great prominence in Venice dur
ing the war of tbe republic. Father
Giustiniani left bis lauiily and bis bright
prospects to study tor tne priestuood. He
catue to this country in 1835. He was 75
vvnen he died. His reputation for tbe
possession of supernatural powers began
over a dozen years ago, w hen a child,
whose condition had been pronounced
hopeless bv the physicians, aiter a
visit trom Fatner Giastiniani immediate
ly recovered. Other cases of tbe same
nature followed, until bis fame as a
worker of miracles was spread through
out his pastorate. It is said that while
lie was praying before tbe image of the
Virgin Mary one day the image became
alive and extended her clasped hands to
ward him. This is implicitly believed by
many members of the congregation. Only
several weeks a„o he visited ttte ohild oi a
prominent citizen aiter it bad been given
up by the doctors, and it recovered.
A COLONIZ vTION St HEME.
A City Below the Frost Line on the
Mexicau Pacific Coast.
From the yeu> York Tribune.
Boston, Oct. 23.—Kev. William F. Ea
ton, ol Kuightville, Ale., was years ago a
Baptist clergyman, but he atterward
drifted into politics, and in Greenback
times was a candidate for Governor, poll
ing 103 voles. Now he is the sole New
Euglaud director of the Credit Foncier, a
scheme in which many Portland aud
Cape Elizabeth peoxvle are interested, and
soon he is going to lead a band of his ad
herents to the Mexican State of Sinaioa,
on the Gull of Calitornia, waere they will
make an attempt to found a colony which
snail be co-operative and practically
independent. Mr. Eaton was tound
tbe otuer day engaged in a job of
carpentering. But this was only a tem
porary occupation. He talked freely of
bis intentions aud of the prosoect oi"tbe
enterprise, tbe inspiration of wnich seems
to nave been a b ok entitled “Integral
Co-operation,” published eeveral years
ago bv Albert K. Owenn, of Chester, Pa.
The Colonists is a corporation organized
under the laws oi Colorado, with its Dead
quarters in New York city. Tile amount
ol its capital is to be $1,600,000,000 in
shares o! $lO eacn; Its teachings are sim
ilar to those of Henry George and its di
rectors are to be the governors of the
commonwealth. Mr. Eaton states that
tbe corporation has in Sinaloa 80,000 acres
of land held in fee simple; that 200,000
more are available, and that a contract
has been signtd by the Mexican Secretary
of Public Works, and by representatives
of the colony.
The persons who are prepared to be
come colonized are estimated by Mr.
Eaton to number over 4,000, nearly all
from the Middle Stales. The sixty men,
women aud children who are to leave
Portland and its vicinity, under Mr.
Eaton’s leadership, are to go to the Bay
oi Popolambo to tound “Pacific City,”
and they hope to be at work there before
Dec. 1. The land is said to be below the
frost line and adapted to tbe cultivation
ot all tropical lruits, but Pacific City Is
destined, so ttie colonists maintain, to be
not an agricultural but a manufacturing
centre, supplying the Mexican markets
to the South aud East. Mr. Eaton shows
his faith in the project by preparing to
cut loose entirely from his New England
borne. He will take with him his wife,
whose enthusiasm for the enterprise is
only equaled by bis own and his daugh
ter just verging upon womanhood.
