The executive committee will meet with j the Union Council, ami matter* of the I greatest importance will be arranged ami i the machinery for the entertainment of the visitors put into operation at once. The entertainment of the state confer ence of the Epworth League is no small matter, as some would suppose, it took At lanta's best to look after ail of the visitors, ami Macon will have to throw her doors open in royal style to furnish shelter for tin m all. In Atlanta there were about 2,o*)w delegate*, and it is probable that this number will lie greatly increased when the conference Is held in Macon. All of the railroads will run reduced rates, and Ma con being the central part of the state, all of the le.iguers that can get off at ail will come. Macon will have to provide homes for them first ami then some place will have to be provided in which to hold the meetings. This matter will be discussed at the meeting tonight. The executive committee will appoint sub-members of their committees and have them affirm. <i by the Union Council. The chairmen of all of the committees com pose the exeeutiv* committee. At Cent, miry church tonight a union in cling of the liaguts of th" city will be held. At thin time Rev. G. W.

Every one knows that there is not a building in Macon now H.at will entertain the large crowd that will be present at the meetings of lln conference. None of the churches would hold I he crowds, nor would the Academy of Music, ami it is now that the great need for an auditorium in Macon Is evident. Something to Know.

Lee's birthday will be quietly but ap propriately celebrated in Macon on in xt Wednesday. Tlie I’Jtii of January lias been set apart ns a legal holiday in Georgia, and all the schools in tlie state should be required to observe it, as a filling memorial to the great hero. It has been well said that tlie best his tory of a nation is written in the biogra phies of Ils heroes. Those acquaint' d v ith (lie truths of history know that one of the most important periods in the nation’s growth is embodied in the life ami charac ter of Gen. Lee, and tills emphasizes the great importance of a proper observance of the day in tlie public schools of tlie state —city and country alike. In the public schools too little attention is paid to the teaching of Southern his tory. which should lie instilled into the nilnd of < very pupil, and it is painful to note that tlie cities of the state are lag ging behind in this duty, while over the rural district preparations are being made to fittingly o', s tve the occasion with ap propriate exercises. In this connection may lie mentioned the striking coineidinee that on tlie nine teenth dav of January, 1861. at the old capitol in Milledgeville. Georgia seced 'd. That was a memorable day in the his tory of the state, whi u giants were pitted against each other Toombs leading the secession movement and Xlexander 11. Stephens and Herschel V.

Deputy Sheriff Will Amason arrested a light colored negro last night who gave his name as Eulus Cutler and placed him in jail on the charge of robbing by force. Mr. Amason says that he is positive of the negro’s guilt, and stated that he was an eye witness to one of his crimes in which he robbed an old negro man of $1.50 after making him drunk. Cutler claims that he lives in Americus. He is a large negro and very muscular. At night he would be taken for a white man. CENTRAL BONDS. M. G. and A. Security Holders at Last Get Their Money. A portion of the first mortgage bonds of the Central of Georgia Railroad Company (Middle Georgia and Atlantic division, are being distributed among the stockholders of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic Rail road Company. The company received from the ’Central of Georgia $520,060 in first mortgage bonds, amounting to sS,l>oo per mile, the Onlral agreeing to issue SI,OOO more per mile to be expended in betterments on che property. Os the $520,000 in bonds, $168,000 went to the bondholders of the Eatonton Branch Railroad to take up the bonds issued to the stockholders in that railroad by the Middle Georgia and Atlantic people. This left $352,000, a portion of which amount was used to pay oft some indebtedness, leaving a balance of about $270,000. From the last / amount the distribution was made yester % day. the stockholders of the M Idle Gec.r --* gia and Atlantic, or rather those who held the certificates of <indebtedness amounting to about $170,000, receiving 110 per cent in Central bonds on their holdings. A small balance of the bonds have been re tained fen the treasury of the company to meet other outstanding obligations. The distribution was highly gratifying to the holders of the .Middle Georgia and Atlantic securities. They have been wait ing several years for their money, and an other delay was occasioned by the matter being -taken into the courts by some of the bondholders of the Eatonton Branch Railroad Company, who sought to restrain the delivery of the bonds by the Central, and to have a receiver for them appoint ed. This attempt was defeated in the courts, it having been passed upon by the supreme court, and the bonds were turned over. These bonds are worth about 88 to the market. RAILWAY CLUB.

Two weeks from today the Omaha Expo sition commission will meet in Macon. The Chamber of Commerce will take the matter up and a big meeting will be held. The Atlanta members of tlie commission will enlist the interest of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, and Atlanta will send down a delegation. The council of Atlanta will also probably name delegates to join the meeting. The Omaha Exposition commission for Georgia met in the senate chamber at the capitol in Atlanta yesterday morning and h< Id an interesting conference as to the rt presentation of Georgia at the Omaha fair. Committees were appointed to get up an exhibit of different products and manu factured goods. Georgia is to have a building at the Omaha fair, and. judging from the way the commission has gone to work the Em pire State of the South will make a show ing unequaled by any other Southern state. Tlie commission decided to enlist the aid of the women of tlie state, and Chairman Norf hen was instructed to appoint two lady commissioners from each congres sional district. At the Tennessee Exposi tion Georgia’s women made a magnificent showing, and even this may be surpassed at Omaha. SPEECHLESS THREE YEARS. g Unconscious Since Killing His Mother and Shooting His Father. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 14.—Willie Gipp awoke yesterday. It was his first approach to consciousness since the nigiit lie killed bis mother and shot his father three years ago la: t November. It bad been predicted that he would never regain any of his faculties. Wiilie is now 23 years old. He was employed as a car inspector by the Lehigh Valley rail road, and on the night of November 5, 1891, he went to work as usual, but returned to ills father’s house about 11 o'clock for his overcoat. He put it on and started out again, and his mother followed him to the door to lock it after him, when he turned and shot her in the head, killing her in stantly. His father rushed from the bed room and Willie shot him through the cheek. Willie escaped and twenty-four hours later was found hiding in a barn, groping about in a mad way for his hat. He was taken to the asylum and put to bed, and lias been there ever since. The case puz zled the doctors. In his three years in the asylum Willie never spoke, and he received food automat ically. Only once were the attendants able to prevail on him to stand up, He seemed to have no command of his body. Half the time he lay staring at the ceiling, half the time sleeping. While an attendant stood at the other end of the dormitory this morning he saw Willie walking to ward him, rubbing his eyes and groping along from bed to bed. "Where am 1?" he asked the attendant. He was told that he had been sick and was at the hospital. He was able to give his name and house address: said he was 20 years old. and inquired for his father and mother. Then the doctor quieted him and put him to sleep, fearing too much tension on his newly awakened faculties. O x. _ £.-j. .A.. Tho fie- ,Z* . , ilsitle 1 J Is ca mad dog killed. Displayed Every Symptom of Hydrophobia When Shot This Mornig. A black dog. displaying every symptom of hydrophobia, was killed on Orange street this morning directly in front of Dr. Ge winner's house. The dog has been reported to the police for several days as acting strangely, but 'they have not seen it. This morning a gentleman driving down Orange street was attracted by the dog trying to get into his buggy. He was foaming at the mouth, and the gentleman came to the conclusion that he had hydrophobia and he shot the dog. The dog was a black pointer. CA&.-TOITIA. WELL PLEASED. The School Superintendents Enjoy Their Visit to Atlanta. Speaking of the visit of the school su perintendants to Atlanta, Constitution says: The superintendents were accompanied j by State School Commissioner G. R. Glenn, i who is taking an active interest in the j work, and who 'is pleased to see the pro- I gross made in the Atlanta schools. The superintendents seemed to be well 1 pleased with what they have seen in At- I lauta. and it is safe to say that they are I satisfied with the entire school system. ■While each of the visitors is in charge of a I school system himself, they are able to | obtain ideas and excellent points from the ' A Jama schools. The system here is prob : ably the most extensive in the state, and I the superintendents are greatly interested | in the workings of it. j The visitors will probably complete their I work of visiting the schools today. The 1 negro schools will require a great portion j of their time, since they are anxious to see : how suclr a large number of children are j handled and to see the method used in I these particular schools.

The Wholesale Grocers Asso ciation Will Take a Hand in the Fight. WILL TAKE FORMER STAND And Will Demand a Better Rate From the Railroads—Rumors of a Combine Being Formed. Mr. T. D. Tinsley, of the firm of Jaques & Tinsley, has returned from a meeting of the executive committee of Wholesale Grocers Association held in Atlanta yes terday. The work of the committee is always in executive session and the business is kept secret. While the committee attended to important business yesterday it is impos sible to tell what was done. It is under stood that the wholesale men decided to take a firmer stand on the freight rate question and to stick closer together. The association, already the largest commercial organization of the world, was considerably enlarged by the acquisition of a great number of new members yes terday. The wholesale grocers of Okla homa and Indian Territory came into the association, thus bringing into the organi zation every state and territory in the South. The body of men who met in At lanta control the price of nearly every mouthful of food eaten in the South, so it can easily be realized that their meetings are of importance. The following members of the committee were present: E. G. Leigh, Jr., president, Richtnonl; W. B. Lockett. Knoxville; W. F. Vandi ver, Montgomery; Irvin B. Tiedeman. Sa vannah; George M. Jackson, Nashville; W. J. Dobbs, Chattanooga; John C. Lee, Augusta; H. C. Wood, Van Buren, Ark.; H. B. Goodridge, Norfolk; Paul Mustin. Augusta; J. E. Maddox, Atlanta; T. D. Tinsley, Macon; H. Y. McCord, Atlanta; J. G. Oglesby, Atlanta; Messrs. G. T. Dodd and C. J. Kelly, of Atlanta; E. E. Hooker, secretary, of Richmond. In this connection it is interesting to note that it is reported that a movement is on foot to form a most gigantic combi nation for the purjtose of controlling the wholesale grocer business of the country. It is said that the combination will bo capitalized at $500,000 and that it will have headquarters in Chicago with branches in every city of any importance as a com mercial center in the country. Nothing is known here on this subject but the fact remains that if such a com bination is formed it will seriously affect the business of the firms now doing busi ness in Macon. Consumption Positively Cured. Mr. R B. Greeve, merchant, of Chil howie, Va., certifies that he had consump tion, w r as given up to die, sought all medi cal treatment that money could procure, tried all cough remedies he could hear of, but got no relief; spent many nights sit ting up in a chair; was induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery, and was cured by the use of two bottles. For the past three years has been attending to business, and says Dr. King’s New Discovery is the grandest remedy ever made, a sit has done •so much for him and also for others in his community. Dr. King’s New Discovery is guaranteed for coughs, colds and consump tion. It don't fail. Trial bottles free at 11. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. DIED AT DOVER'S FEET. Broken Engagement Causes Mattie Buck ley to End Her Life. 'ElizaJjethtown, Ky., Jan. 14.—A tele phone message has been received here from Temple Hill, Barren county, relating one of the most shocking tragedies that has 'happened In Kentucky for some time. Miss Mattie Buckley, a pretty girl, 22 years old, took her own life by swallowing ing an ounce of carbolic acid and died in the presence of her sweetheart, Joe Simms, in great agony. When the rest of the family were at supper she quietly entered t.he dining room and secured a glass of water, which the family supposed was for young Simms. Whem she entered the parlor she poured a powder of strychnine and an ounce of carbolic acid 'into the glass, and, in the presence of Simms drank it and fell to the floor in great agony. Her screams brought the family 'into the parlor, and the suicide said: “Joe has broken our en gagement, and I want to die." The family is wealthy and prominent. NEW RULES M&ay Be Made at the Big L.

Corner Second and Haw thorne Sts., Macon, Ga. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY x< 1898. SAYS JIM HAS PARESIS. Fitzsimmons Amused at the Offer —Julian ■ Is Sarcastic. St. Paul. Jan. 14. —“Well, now, what do you think of that?" was all that Fitzsim mons would say when shown the Associa- ! ted Press dispatch from St. Louis, an- 1 Bouncing the offer from Corbett of $35,000 j if Fitzsimmons would fight him. The ; proposition seemed to amuse him and *he I refused to consider it seriously, referring ' the inquirer to his manager. Little more : was to be learned from Martin Julian, for , he promptly stated that in his opinion ■ Corbett was troubled with paresis and this dispatch proved rt. He said further, that the position of Fitzsimmons had already been clearly stated and it was unnecessary to waste words over it. He said particu- I larly that he would consider no fight pro posals until "orbett had whipped Maher, and refused to talk of any other possibil ities. RIOTOUS GIRLS. Hose Turned on Inmates of Home For In- i corrigibles. Denver, Col., Jan. 14.—'Bedlam reigned for over eight hours Wednesday night at the State Home for Incorrigible Girls. Shrieking girls filled the lower balls and refused to obey orders. Finally they be came so noisy that the police had to be called in. Five of the girls were locked up in the basement. This, however, failed to stop the clamor and a garden hose was re sorted to. When the girls had been thor oughly drenched they concluded to keep quiet. The rumpus started about 7:30 in the evening. Matron Hauser endeavored to persuade the girls to go to their rooms. But the girls paraded the halls, singing, shouting and throwing the furniture about and doing anything else the spirit of mis chief could suggest. The police were received by derisive shouts. A sergeant endeavored to remove one of the ring leaders.' He promptly re ceived a sharp right-hander in the eye. The belligerents howled with joy. The police then endeavored to remove the big gest girl. Fighting, scratching and yell ing, they pulled her around the hall, the rest following and giving wdiat they could in the w r ay of aid. Down in the cellar is a long hail barred off from the rest of the rooms, and into this by the hardest kind of a fight the men pushed the five giris, being assaulted with all kinds of epithets, endearing and otherwise. Finally one of the men brought in a small garden hose. As the water increas ed in quantity the yelling became louder and a scampering to places of safety fol lowed. irene Gross, the cause of all the trouble, swore lustily and kept it up al though the nozzle of the hose was inserted in her mouth, but the cold, shivering girls could not keep up the fight long, and mod erate quiet soon reigned.

Those who treat Catarrh with sprays. wash.es and inhaling mixtures, should know that these remedies reach only the surface, and can never cure them. Catarrh invariably leads to Consumption, and to delay the proper treatment is to invite this dreaded disease. Catarrh comes from diseased blood. Sprays and washes won’t cure it, because they do not reach the roots of the trouble. There is no use experi menting with the abominable dis ease called Catarrh. There is no use losing time.
