This ques tion is, however, of much more gravity than is generally regarded, involving as sessments, levy and collection of taxes, ex pense of fire and police protection, watgr, sewerage, lights, etc., of all the territory to be annexed, that the Mayor and Council can take no positive steps in the niatt&r until it has an official or tangible ex pression of the wishes of the citizens of the suburban shttlemeuts and the revenue calculated. When this has been done, and a. basis of annexation has been agreed up»u by all parties concerned, your committee feel warranted in saying that the 'Mayai and Council will receive and welcome additional territory, knowing that the ex tension of the population, and in number less ways (stimulating progress, insuring prosperity, and making (Macon greater. Therefore, your committee cannot make any recommedation further than to await •the action of the suburbs seeking incorpo ration as a part of the city proper. (R es peetf ull y subm i‘ 11 ed.

Jones and family are in vited to attend the funeral of the former from his late residence in South Macon tomorrow, Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock TOM ALLEN'S LAST HOPE, His Attorneys Will Go Before Pardoning Board Tomor row Morning. WILL PLAY IHEIR UST CARD When the Evidence of the Newly Found Witness is Introduced— Allen is Still Hopeful. Col. J. W. Preston, Dupont Guerry and Col. John R. Cooper will leave for Atlanta this afternoon to appear before the par doning committee of the penitentiary in the Allen case tomorrow morning. ‘Messrs. Guerry and Preston go to ap pear for the defendant while Mr. Cooper will appear for the prosecution. The case will be the first one called, and it will be reviewed in its entirety. The new evi dence which the defense claims to have found will be introduced, and the negno who states that he was an eye witness to the killing of Carr will be carried along in person. The new evidence which has been found in the statement of this negro is to rhe effect that he saw Allen flourishing a pis tol the night of the killing in Cassidy’s bar, and that in trying to get it away from him, the pistol was accidentally dis charged and Carr was killed. The attor neys put great faith in the statement of the negro, and hope that they may be able to save Allen from the gallows. Immediately after the killing the negro left Georgia and went to Louisiana, and only returned a few weeks ago. He told several prominent men of Macon whom he knew, of the accident of Carr’s death, thinking that Allen had been hung. These gentlemen at once went to Colonel Pres ton and told him of the new witness. He was found and his statement was made and recorded. Upon the strength of the new evidence, an appeal was made to the governor to hear it, and to grant a par don. The matter was referred to the par doning committee, anti as a law had been enacted at the last session of the legisla ture establishing such a •ommittee for the investigation of all such cases. The committee has no power to grant a complete pardon, but upon their recom mendation the governor will more than probably grant a pardon. Inspeaking of the case Colonel Preston said that it had been one of the most pe culiar he had ever seen in his long law practice. Allen was first convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. While under the sentence of death he escaped from the county jail. He could not toe captured. At the time he escaped his attorneys had a motion before the supreme court for * new trial. The court raJed that unless Allen gave hiH»self up to the authovilies in thirty days the courts of Georgia would be closed to him forever. He did not give himself up, but was afterwards captured on an island tn the middle of the Ocmul gee river. It iias been this order of the supreme •enrt that has spoiled all «f Aften’s chances for mercy. lib could not appeal to the courts on ordinary grounds, and consequently had to suffer the sentence imposed upon him by the superior court. That sentence has been deferred in ex ecution from time to time until now the matter has approached the last stage, and in a few more days the ease v II be Bet tied forever, as far as the courts of the land have jurisdiction. If the pardoning board refuses to recommend a pardon for Allen, he will be hung, as there is no other chance for him. The governor has no power to pardon unless the committee, after investigation, recommends it. Allen is confined in the jail here, and i when seen by a News represenfetive was hopeful of the outcome of the presentation of the case before the pardoning board. He says he has never lost hope.
