GOLD HUNTERS Wade Through Snow to the Klondike—Suffer Many Hardships. Chicago, 11., Jan (i. -The lEvansvile, (Ill.) format si ekers. who started for the Klon dike » arly last summer, are having a pret ty tough time of it. The party has divid ed, one division having decided not to try to reach Dawson City until next spring. The last division pressed forward, and whi n last heard fmm expected to reach by October :;i. Two letters have recently been received by friends of the travelers from K. Agas si.;, one of the gold hunters. The first let ter Mr. Agassiz wrote from a point thirty mills from Dalton Dost ,iu Alaska. It bears tin date of iSoptt mber 29th. He says: "We have had a pretty hard 'time so far, and a number of our boys have had to quit and go home, and their horses have died, and they It ive their grub. 1 have only lost one so far, and had to leave part of bis load. We are in two feet of snow, and it is very cold and hard on stock; ten horses dud last night. I keep my blankets over each horse when 1 unpack at night, ami go without myself. Have lo do it or can’t get through. Ihe Thori have lost lots of stock, and arc today disgustui, and the old man, with one son and foui or five other, are going home, as he thinks there is no chance to get in this winter. The St. Louis newspa per man weakened two days ago and left his grub and vveiH thick with three others. "There is lots of grub stored along where people are quitting, and it is not worth anything as the trouble is to get it in. • “We are feeding some Hour and oatmeal 1a our horses, so as to keep them from quitting on us. We are going to Five Fin ger Rapid, as Foi't Selkirk is too far, and we are afraid that the river will freeze up on us and that we will be shut out for the .•pur, as the most that we can make with nir pack hordes is fifteen miles a day. and we expect to make the rapids in seventeen days and be at Dawson, which is 'two hun dred miles, on raft: day and night down the Yukon in five days more. "We met two men coming out today. They say that there is no grub at any ■price to be had in there, but they are tak ing out lots of gold, but no finds that are rich outside the Klondike. “Well, 1 will get there if I have to pack in on my back, unless we get snowed in altogether so 'that we cannot move. It is coming down fast and thick now, and very cold; lots of hard work from 5 a. m. to 7 p. m.; only stop when we get too hungry to go further. We do not stop for lunch; only two meals a day. "I will write again as soon as we get into Dawson." Unlike most correspondents, Mr. Agas siz is better than his word, for his next letter was written on October 26, before it he party had reached Dawson. He said: "We have just got to the Yu kon, with six horses, all of which are al most played ou-t. We lost twenty-eight horses since we left the other boys. There are five of us. all good fellows. "We expect to get to Dawson about the Slst if the river keeps open. It seems good to quit traveling through the snow with seventy-five pounds on our backs. W e have abou. eight hundred pounds of grub to divide among five of us. and where we will get more vve don't know, as none of the steamers got up from the mouth of the river, and everyone is trying to get out."

HAROINJN IT, His Circular Letter Received Here Today Puts Him Squarely in the Race, WHO SUCCEEDS HIM? Is the Quest on Now Asked on Every Side by the Politicians—There Will be Swarms of Them. The following circular letter which has been received by the leading politicians and by representative people in Macon dis pels all doubt as to me position of both Col. A. D. Candler, the secretary of state, and Mr. M. A. Hardin, the clerk of the house, in the next campaign: “Atlanta, Jan. 4, ISOB. —My Dear Sir: Being satisfied that the present incumbent of the office of secretary of state will not be a candidate for re-election, I hereby announce as a candidate for that office. "My long experience as clerk of the house peculiarly fits rne for the proper dis charge of the duties of that position. "i respectfully solicit the benefit of your aid and influence in my election. I am yours truly, M. A. Hardin.” Os course this means positively that Coi. Candler has notified Mr. Hardin that he will not be a candidate for the secretary shii of state, and it puts Mr. Mark Hardin squarely into the race for the place. This leaves tbe clerkship open and the politicians are looking around for the best man. He will probably bob up in a few days, and in fact even now there are many tumors of a host of candidates for the place that Mark Hardin has held for the last twenty years. It is not improbable at all that Mark Hardin’s successor will be a Macon man. JAMES O'NEILL In The Dead Heart at the Academy of Music Tonight. "The Dead Heart,” with James O’Neill in the part of Robert Landry, should, and doubtless will prove a drawing card at the Academy of Music tonight. It will he an exact duplicate of Sir Henry Irving’s production of the same play m London five years ago. Mr. O'Neill himself will play the part of the hero, Robert Landry, whose sufferings and trials arc portrayed by Mr. O’Neill in a - Rif t mi-r It--./' : j; * heart rending and appealing manner. Mr. O'Neill has spent a great deal of time and money on the production, as it requires an enormous scenic equipment. The action takes place during the revolting days of ■the French Revolution and one picture after another illustrating the history of those days is rolled up before the public’s eyes. WOODW ARD - WAR REN. The very excellent popular priced at traction at the Academy of Music this week —the Woodward-Warren Company, which is filling in the time from Wednes day to Saturday and will give Its last two performances at the Academy matinee and night, tomorrow, thoroughly deserves the patronage of the public. The repertoire of the company is replete with good things and the support of Mr. Woodward and Miss Warren is even and talented. At the prices, ten, twenty and thirty cents, no better attraction has ever been given to the people of Macon. “CARMEN.” Rosabel Morrison’s Success as the Bewitch ing Spanish Gipsey. In his famous story of “Carmen,” Pros per Merriaiee has given to the world a ver itable classic. There is nothing else just like it. Dealing as it does with Spanish gypsy peasant life, it admits of local color and romance to an intense degree. The ever present soldiery, the bull fighter and the bandit lend no little aid in giving the story atmosphere. "Carmen" is famous in literature and song and the intensity of iis human interest has given it wide spread popularity. It is now nearly half a century old, and it is still new. That is the strongest evidence of its merit. It is probably better known to the American public through Bizet’s opera founded on Merrimee’s story, than through the orig inal -work itself, but the interest in the lory must naturally be lost when placed in a musical setting. In the opera (and in deed in all dramatic versions except that used by Rosabel Morrison) several of the most important characters of Merrimee's work are unseen. The most important of these is "Garcia,” the convict husband of “Carmen,” who plays a prominent part in Miss Morrison’s dramatization. As a piay “Carmen” has recently attracted great in terest in both New York and London. It is the most talked of play now before the public. Miss Morrison will present it in this city at the Academy of Music on Wednesday, January 12. The production will be brilliant from a scenic point of view, and the cast is composed of the high est salaried and most efficient people in the dramatic profession. Nothing like this performance has ever been seen here, and it will doubtless attract the same degree of interest here as it has done elsewhere. Miss Morrison’s support is headed by Ed ward Eisner, one of the best of the younger Heading men of this country, and an actor of talent and force. BOARDMAN’S EFFORT. Washington. Jan. 6. —L. P. Boardman. attorney for Durrani, left his hotel at an early hour this morning to make a last effort to secure a stay of proceedings for the condemned man. His plan was to see the individual members of the supreme court in the hope of securing from one of them his signature to an order for a writ of habeas corpus, failing in tis he will ap pear before court at noon and ask for a writ of habeas corpus or prohibition. Any action of an individual justice would be communicated to the clerk of the court who issues the formal writ. Up to 10 o'clock the court officer had received no notice that any action has been taken and the strong impression pre vails that no step would be taken until the court assembled at noon. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7 1898. What is Going On in Society. If “All the world lews a lover," all peo ple are iincrtsLed ;a weddings ana me tolioAing concerning orange moss-jins is quaint euouguc to ye remtmoereu. bUiuMJ o Fi Me BAi.DK £5 r DOWER. Lxkc- all lajauiiur customs wnose ori gin is lost in antiquity, me wearing of orange biosoms at a Wedding is accounted tor in various ways, *ays au txcaangt. Among other stories is the folio wing pretty legend from i>pain; An African King piestutcd a Spanish king witn a niagiiuicfcui orange tree, whose creamy waxen oiossoms ana woudenul fragrance excited me admiration ot tne V) note court. Many pegged tn va.n for a branch of the plant, but a foreign embas sador was tormented oy me dwoire to ,n --troduce so great a cur .os Ay to ms native land. He used every possiole means, tair or toul, to aceompiisa ais purpose, out a.i his enorts coming to naugat, no gave up iu despair. Ihe lair daughter of the court gardner was loved by a young art.sau, out iacsed the dot which me family thought necessa ry in a bride. One day, cnanc.ng to ormk od a spray of orange blossoms, me g*;d iicr thougnkssly gave it lo his daugntcr. Seeing me coveted prize in the girl’s hair, me wily Ambassador offered her a sum sufficient for the desired dowery, pro vided she gave him the branch and say nothing about it. Her marriage was soon celebrated, axd on her way to me altar, in grateful remembrance of the source of all her happiness, she secretly broke off an other brt of the- lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the poor court gardner lost his head in consequence of his daughter s treachery the legend does not state, but many lands now know the wonderful tree, and ever since- that wedding day orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride. .* * * The Picture Play veil be the next enter tainment given for the benefit of the Li brary, and will undoubtedly be one of the most entertaining attractions of the Ly ceum course. Mr. Black, the author, will read the play and illustrate it with life size pictures. The entertainment is said to be both unique and charming. * * * Mrs. Ross ißowdre gives a reception next Wednesday afternoon. » * * The Daughters of the American Revolu tion will hold a meeting next Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock at tne residence of the regent, Mrs. Washington. This is the first meeting of the Macon chapter since last spring, and there is much important business to be a tended to. A delegate is to be elected to the national convention at Washington, and officers will be elected for the coming year. The members are urged to attend and to bring with them the annual fee of $2 each. If this money is paid at this meeting it greatly simplifies matters for the treasurer, who lias to make a report in January to the National Board in Washington. * * * Last night was the time for the January bicycle german at the Log Cabin, but the inclement weather prevented the bicycles taking any active part in the affair. The german was danced, however, by about twenty-five couples, chaperoned by Mrs. Walace MoCaw and Mrs. Sidney Wiley. The young ladies all wore elegant street gowns, and the visiting young ladies were Mis Todd, of Atlanta; Miss Keith and Miss Dallas, of Nashville, and Miss Heath, of Charlotte. The delicious supper served at the Cher okee Club’s Now Year german is still talk ed of by those who cbjoyed if, Tile Cher okee Club gave the order for the supper to the Woman’s Exchange, and as the price charged was much less than was expected, the difference in the price was given to the Macon Hospital. In this case, too, “Virtue had its reward,” for the refresh ments were the best of their kind, and most daintily served. Macon social clubs and her charities are closely allied, for the members of the former are a continual help to the latter. EDISON’S LATEST SCHEME. Would Apply His Separator in the Treat ment of Gold Ore. New York, Jan. 7. —'Wizard Edison lias buzzing in his busy brain a schema of greater magnitude, perhaps, than any he has yet undertaken. It is m less than the application of a modified form of his ore separator, now used in developing iron ores of a poor quality, to the treatment of gold ores of the same grade. Just how it is to be done, he, of course, is not telling, but he says that within a couple of years he will be able to begin work ou his new scheme. He is convinced that there is not a single abandoned gold claim in the coun try, where gold was ever discovered, from which the precious ore canot be extracted in quantities to pay a big margin of profit over the cost of operation, and he propo ses to prove the truth of this statement. The reason that he does not take the mat ter up now is that he is deeply involve 1 in the production of iron ores by his recently invented separator, and he never cares to go into one big scheme while he has an other on hand. The process, he said, in the development of gold ores will not dif fer substantially from the method of iron working. The mining is all done by ma chinery, not a hand being required to do any part of it other than to direct the mechanism. NORTH DAKOTA DIVORCE. Wealthy Brazilian Fred From a Mexican j Adventuress. New York, Jan. 7. —Don Eugenio de Fa ria y Goneoles de Teixeira, New- York’s new "Count of Monte Cristo,” has re ceived a decree annulling his marriage with beautiful Carmen Domingo. The pa pers were filed last summer at Mandan, a iutle town across the Missouri river from Bismarck, after Teixeira had lived in the state the required three months. All of the dark hints of a conspiracy that was woven about the wealthy senor to secure his marriage to Carmen were sustained by the decree of the court. The Dakota court was convinced that the plot was devised by the girl’s mother, fa ther and brother, who knew of the Bra zilian's palace in Brazil with miles of land, his chateau in France, and his mine in South America. Carmen told the Brazilian that she was engaged to be married to a Mexican she did not love, and prayed him to save her. The senor’s heart was touched, and he in vited Carmen and her designing family to come as his guests to Washington. Then being placed by the conspirators in a false position and deluded by Carmen’s vows of love, he married her in this city January 14, 1897. After that the girl and family threw aside all pretense. They tried bold ly to get the Brazilian’s money. On April 29 Carmen fled from her palatial home with money and diamonds valued at sev eral thousand dollars. The affidavits connect the names ot two Spanish officials, high in authority in this city, with the conspiracy. DIAMOND CHAT. Ned Hanlon will take his Orioles to Thomasville, Ga., for their course of spring sprouts. Several of the non-Sunday-playing c4ubs may be scheduled for Saturday double headers. The crusade against the sacrifice hit and for the fifty-five-foot pitching distance are merely winter space fillers. Bill Clark’s life is likely to be as happy as a policeman’s next season.

How to crowd 154 games into 158 playing days is a problem that is bothering that famous mathematician, Colonel Nicodemus E. Young. Wiley Davis, after a year in the woods, will return to Hoosierdom. There is a player who may become a great outfielder some of these fine days. John T. Brush is fighting for the adop tion of the expulsion rule aimed at the foul-mouthed squad, to defend whom is a pretty cheap and unprofitable business. CINCHING 8188, Joe Terrell Was a Visitor ot the City Yesterday Afternoon. TALKED WITH HIS FRIENDS About the Coming Gubernatorial Contest But Did Net Make Any Official Announcements: Attorney General Joe TerrsH .vis in city for a short while yesterday shaking hands with his friends. 'Mr. Terrell was on his way from Bruns wick, where he was called on business connected with the iMerc'l • tuts’ and Trad ers’ Bank, which was a state depository. While in Macon Mr. Terrell called up.,11 a number of his closest frintds, and on The News. The fact that he had done this led to the rumor that he would put out a formal announcement for the gover norship through the columns of that paper. This, however, he did not do, ai.u, in fact, was non-committal. It is known, however, that he talked some polities and possibly discussed the probabilities in Bibb with those who are on the inside. Bibb is fighting ground in the coming campaign and is a somewhat unknown quantity. Personals of the Day W. V. Hirsch, of New York, is here. thank L. Malone, of Louisville, is in the city. J. H.
