HIBERNIANS
ARE AT PEACE,
Official Decision of the Na
tional Arbitrator of of the
Ancient Order.
fiECEIVED l« Wffll
After Much Strife a Reconciliation
Has Been Effected Delegation
May Go in Special Boat.
Th national convention of the Reunited
Order of the Ancient Lider of Hibernians
will convene in Trenton, N. J., June 27th,
«nd delegates will go from the Macon
lodge.
The official decision from the Right
Reverend Arbitrator, addressed to the joint
committee, has been received in Macon.
■A jwrtion of the decision reads as fol
lows:
“It has been urged that certain Ameri
can cities are replete with revolutionary
memories, and that this entitles them to
consideration in making selection. Gentle
men, I most willingly concede the force of
this argument. It will, indeed, be a glo
rious day when Irish and Irish-Americans,
meeting here in America, on soil rendered
sacred. In revolutionary days, by the blood
of our fathers, will lovingly entwine the
memories of the heroic deeds of Erin and
A America du Is crimsoned with their
heart’s blood and performed for “life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness.”
“Therefore, I feel that Providence guid
ed the steps of your honorable committee,
seeking for union, to New Jersey. Eor here
are th.* historic bat lb' fields of Princeton,
■Monmouth and Trenton. I love, indeed, to
think that Now Jersey was among the
first of the sturdy colonies to raise the
standard of Independence; that her hills
mid valleys have been hallowed by the
-blood of revolutionary heroes; that when
the destinies of this country were shroud
ed in darkness; when the spirits of the
fathers hung heavy and dejected,; when
defeat after defeat had tried their patience
and taxed their endurance, the victory at
Trenton gave I Item new strength and cour
age; and that in this city was seen, for
the first timt tiie bright star of hope ris
ing als.ve the darkened horizon of Amer
ica's brilliant future.
“Familiar mi we are with those glorious
deeds, must not 1 and my devoted flock
l>e proud of tiie fact ttiat my cathedral is
built on the ground first dedicated to free
dom and then to religion by the Lord of
Hosts, and that. its Gothic spire, while
pointing out the way to heaven, is alike a
onuinrni to civic and -Christian virtue!
Yes, gentlemen, be assured Providence
guided you to Trenton; here the work of
union was begun, mid here let it be en
duringly cemented.”
Arrangements are being made to char
ter a steamship to take the Georgia dele
gation to New York for the convention.
lz>w rates ore assured ami it is expected
that « large number will represent this
state in the convention, which promises to
be the most memorable in the history of
Hibernian Ism.

other remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Dis

FORTY-SIX
CASES TODAY
Recorder Freeman Dispenses
Justice to Many Violators
of the Law.
HELD DM FOB IDE CUI
Twenty-three to the Gang, and as
Many More Fined and
Dismissed.
When the recorder’s court was called to
order this morning it was evident that
something more than usual was to be
heard. Such was the case. There was no
special hearings of interest, bus the docket
was one of the largest that has been re
corded in months.
Long before his honor, Judge Freeman,
appeared at the court room a large crowd
of curious people and witnesses had gath
ered. The court room was packed to suf
focation. Persons who had been arrested
could not all be given room in the court
room, so some of them were put in the
general assembly room and some were
given place in the chief’s room.
There were 43 cases for hearing on the
docket with many more which were con
tinued from last week. While the court
was in session several more cases were
brought in, and it was after one o’clock
when court adjourned.
The larger portion of the cases were
for vagrancy, and in every instance they
were given thirty days on the gang. The
majority of those were white men. Twenty
three will be carried out to the gang this
afternoon.
The scone at the city hall resembled
that of Christmas was wont to appear a
few years ago. It far surpassed that pre
sented the Christmas just passed. Jolly
good humor prevailed in the crowd, and
as the drowsy hackman told how the judge
had looked through two pairs of spectacles
and fined him ten dollars for going to
sleep on duty, the crowd laughed, for it
is a belief among some of the colored pop
ulationthat when his honor looks at them
through only one pair of glasses the fine
will be much lighter.
Every class of humanity was represented
in the assembly of mourners on the bench.
Both white and colored women, small
boys for loitering and the pickaninny for
larceny.
The session of the court yielded a good
sum to the city and several were bound
over to have a hearing before a higher
tribunal.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker.' Every bottle guaranteed. Only

From beginning to end “The Dazzler,”
as 'it comes to us this year, is full of fun.
There is a steady laugh from start to fin
ish, and some really new things are offer
ed to the public.
The weather on Saturday was such as
to keep away large numbers of people who
had made up their minds to see “The Daz
zler” and as the company had an extra
day to book, they determined that Macon
was about as good a place as could be
found, so Manager Horne, who knows a
good thing when he sees it, grabbed “The
Dazzler” and held to it.
The company is good. The girls are
graceful, the voices special

jokes new.
What more does an audience want? New
■songs and a new program of specialties
will be offered today and both perform

A GREAT ORGANIZATION.
Unusual interest in musical circles is
aroused over the engagement of 'the Bos
tonians at the Academy of Music on next
Thursday. This splendid organization is
easily in the first rank of all light opera
companies, and for ten years have main
tained this pround position. During this
time numerous opera companys have risen,
had their being and passed into oblivion;
and various operas have been exploited
with great flourish of trumpets and failed
both in artistic and financial returns. It
goes without saying then from any point
of view the history of the Bostonians is
most remarkable, for each year the stan
dard of work never deteriorates and the
list of artists include tne oest names on
the lyric stage. It is this guaranty of su
perior rendition and equipment that has
made the engagements of the Bostonians
such important musical functions in each
theatrical season and insured them such a
large following. This season this great
light opera company is said to be in bet
ter form than ever and has added another
triumph to its long list of successes.
Among the artists who will appear here
are Henry Clay Barnabee , William H.
MacDonald, Jessie Bartlett Davis. Eugene
Cowles. Alice Nielsen. George Frothing
ham. Jesephine Bartlett. William E. Philp.
Grafton Baker. Harry Brown, Nellie

IS. L. Studley, musical director. A bril
i liant chorus and augmented orchestra will
be special features of the engagement here
and the opera to be rendered will be ap
propriately costumed and staged with spe
cial scenery.

REvTmORRELL
Assisting in the Revival at
Grace Church —Yester-
day’s Services.
The services at- Grace church yesterday
began with an old fashioned Methodist
class meeting where much rich 'experience
was given by many who love the Lord.
At’ 11 o’clock Rev. J. L Morrell preached
from Heb. 12, 1-2, “Seeing that we are
compassed about with so great a eloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight
and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience the race that
is see before us, looking unto Jesus, the
author and finisher of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before him, endured
the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of
God.”
The preacher said he liked to have a
good text, it did not make any difference
what kind of a sermon he p”eached; and
after beautifully and pathetically singing,
“When I get to the End of the Week,”
without any ceremony he went right into
the subject matter of this text, and deliv
ered the best sermon, perhaps, that it has
ever been the good fortume of his large
audience to hear. He said" every preacher
ought to be equipped as the great apostle
to the gentiles was, with the shield of faith
and the sword of the spirit. He ought to
have the sword to cut and the balm to
heal. Raul was a great preacher because
he was a preacher like Christ. Paul had
two themes, sin and salvation. Seeing that
we have so great a; eloud of witnesses.
There is nothing that will so encourage
a man as to see the success of another
man in the same line. So the success of
Paul in the Christian warefara ought to
encourage our faith. Let us look at some
of the witnesses this morning. Abel was
an examble of a man who worshipped
God. If Abel, thousands of years before
the cross, could worship God acceptably,
surely we. two thousand years after the
crucifixion, and in the light of revelation,
should run the race that is set before us.
Mr. Morrell stood up other witnesses, as
Enoch, who walked ■with God three hun
dred years; Noah, who preached one hun
dred and twenty years, without having a
convert: Abraham, who believed God, and
who offered u.p his son as a sacrifice, the
grandest sight ever witnessed on theearth,
except the crucifixion; and Moses, who by
faith, refused to be called the son of Rha
roh's daughter, choosing rather do suffer
afflictions with the children of lerael: the
Wesleys. Charles anxl John, Fletcher,
Toplady, Knox. Spurgeon, and many oth
ers. God has given us all of these wit
nesses -to encourage its in this race to the
glory world.
The Sunday school exercises were well
attended, there being two hundred and
thirty-six present.
The sermon to mten was delivered to a
large audinece that gave the preacher un
divided attention ftfr more than an hour.
Mr. Morrell has the peculiar faculty of
telling men about their worst sins, and
at the same time drawing them to him.
Last night Mr. Morrell preached to his
largest congregation on the “Conversion
of the Phillippian Jailer.” The most im- ,
portant question, .said the preaeher, that
man ever asked, or man can ask, was the
question propounded by the Phillippian
jailer, when he was awakened by the
earthquake, of "Paul and 'Silas, “Sirs, what
must I do to be saved?” and the answer.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved and thy house,” if
promptly obeyed, will bring salvation to
any man’s house, or family. The revival
influence is spreading out from Grace
church, and promises to take in the city.
Mr. Morrell will remain in Macon during
this week, and conduct services at Grace
church at half past nine o’clock in the
morning and half past seven o’clock at
night.

DENNINGTON.
(Continued from Ist page.)
was meant by the remarks. Reid and
Dennington left the witness then and went
on up Cotton avenue.
Half an hour afterwards the witness
heard that a man had been killed.
Prior to the killing that night Denning
ton had asked him his advice. Denning
ton said that Reid’s wife had been insult
ed and that Reid had asked Dennington
to go with him and help to avenge the
insult. Anderson had advised him against
going to the circus.
Dennington had said: “I do not think
that Reid is going to shoot any one or to
kill any one. If I thought he would kill
any one I would not go with him to the
circus.”
The witness had seen Dennington after
’the killing and had received a pistol from
him. He had seen him at 11 o’clock that
night and Dennington was very much
drunker than he was earlier in the even
ing.
Not Quarrelsome.
An effort was made by the state to show
by the witness that Dennington was a bad
and quarrelsome man but this evidence
fell through.
Coroner Hollis was called. He testified
as to the cause of the death of Halstead,
whose coat was introduced in evidence
with the ghastly hole in it. He simply
proved the killing and the person killed.
Mrs. L. W. Halstead was the next wit
ness. She testified her husband’s coat
and acknowledged receiving the body of
her husband. She identified all the arti
cles taken from her husband’s body.
The defense attempted to make the
ground for the doubt as to the identifica
tion of her husband’s body, but this effort
was hardly successful.
Arthur L. Wood, Jr., employed in the
undertaking establishment of bis father,
Mr. A. L. Wood, proved receiving the
body.
Mrs. Halstead was put upon the stand
again to identifiy the letters from her
which were found in her husband’s pocket
after his death.
The state closed its direct testimony at
12:30 o’clock.
Counsel for the defense offered Robert
Dennington’s statement as their evidence
and Mr. Reid, of his counsel, stated that
they would no>t offer any other testimony
except in rebuttal.
DENNINGTON ’ S STATEMENT.
Dennington’s statement was given cooly
and in a clear, concise manner. He out
lined his full connection with the case
from the start. He stated how Reid had
come to him and had related the insult
offered to his Reid's wife, and avowed his
determination to avenge it. Dennington
said that he had no reason to suppose
from his knowledge of Reid’s character
that he intended any violence. He had
dissuaded him as far as he possibly could
from going to the circus tent and had ob
jected to his taking his gun with him, but
Reid was determined to go to the tent and
as his friend he had gone with him. Up
to the last moment he had no reason to
suppose that Reid really intended to kill
Hals toad.
Dennington said that he had advised
with Mr. Anderson, the foreman of the
Macon Telegraph, who had advised him
to keep Reid away from the tent and he
had done his best to get him to do so.
At the close of Dennington’s statement
the court adjourned until 3 o’clock this
afternoon.
The outlook now is that Dennington will
be cleared. The state has not made out
a strong case against him and his attor
neys are very confident that the verdict
will be one of acquittal.
It is mor« than probable that all the
argument will be in and that the charge
will have been delivered before time for
adjourn'meint tonight in which case a ver
dict may be reached tonight.

Mrs. Thomas Sangine, 1,041 Fourteenth ave
nue, Detroit, Mich., says. "Please accept my
most grateful thanks for the miraculous re
covery of our eight-months-old baby girl. She
was taken with Cholera Infantum early in the
summer, and although we had the best medi
cal attention, we fully expected to lose her.
She wasted away to a shadow, and it was im
possible to get any kind of infant food that
would be retained by the stomach, and nothing
seemed to check the diarrhoea. After the doc
tor gave up the case as hopeless we tried Mun
yon’s Remedies, and toourdelight found that
the first bottle was sufficient to check the
diarrhoea and enable the stomach to retain
food.A second hottie brought our little one
back to perfect health My husband has also
taken Munvon’s Dyspepsia Cure with wonder
fully curative effects. ’’ ©
