By House Committee on Elec

list Given Seat.
FRAUD IS MWIIHIt,
Says the Committee The Alabama
Election Laws Are Severely
Criticized.
Washington, Jan. 28. —An unusually se- i
vere arraignment of alleged election
frauds wan made in the report filed by the
house committee on elections No. 1, In the
case of W. I*’. Aldrich against Thomas S.
Plowman, from the Fourth Alabama dis
trict. Plowman is the sitting member,
but the committee submits a recount of
the vote, giving Aidrich, the Republican
and Populist candidate, the seat. The re
port says In part:
"We shall endeavor to demonstrate by
what methods the will of the people was
thwart, d. In doing so not all the frauds
perpetrated will be alluded to as only the
salient features can be torched and r<p
r< xi ntati ve instances cited, if the elec
tion laws of Alabama had been designed
to encourage fraud and thwart the people's
■will, they could not have been in some re
spects, more happily framed to meet this
purpose."
After criticizing the 'Alabama election
laws as putting the honest vote '.it the
mercy of dishonest markers, the report
•ays:
"When it is known that the condition
for /ueh a -lade of fuots exists it is not
strange that Illiterate voters should re
mian away from the [sills in the hope that
they would at lea.it not furnish ammuni
tion for their 'political opponents, but (this
made little difference to the Democratic
managers In Dalas county. They voted il
literate colored men present or absent.
T!ie machinery was simple and effective.
If has fortunately been discovered and the
details of its operation*, laid bare. Fraud
is everywhere; miter lurking nor secret,
but bold and Insolent, is chiefly of five
kinds:
"I. Fraudulently padding the poll list
with names of persons not registered.
Sometimes of fictitious persons and some
tini' ■« of persons who did not live in the
pre/ (net.
By padding the [Kill list with the
names of persons on the registration list
who did not vole."
“3. By imposing on illiterate voters.
“4. By the old-fashioned method of
falsely recording votes.
“5. By r< fusing to hold any election at
all in certain Strong Republican pre
cincts.”
After going Into much detail on alleged
frauds, the committee say they have revis
ed the vote on the most •imseri a.tive lints,
giving Aldrich a plurality of 542, whereas
the election of Plowman was claimed by
2,987 plurality.

ment today, giving the asets at $7,000 and
liabilities at 129.000. it was this business

TH®
Os Reed in House ofCongress
—Disaffection and Rebel
lion is Threatened.
MI TO BO SOMETHING.
They Must Pave the Way for Re-
Election Next Fall —Leading
Question Before the House.
Washington, Jan. 28 —An indication of
<11: affection on the Republican side and of
rebellion agaimst (the Reed tyranny has
sent a chill of terror through the admin
istration.
The dilemma in which the party has
been placed on the Cuban question toy the
shrewd Dcinoorat'ic leaders is not so easily
siraig’htened out. the plan of preventing
recognition of the Island coming from that
party through the technicality cf "the
rules" is not so easily understood by the
pul die, the masses of whom are ncit fh
ruiliiar with the .parliamentary usages of
the honorable body.
Th« result is that Republican congress
men are 'being flooded with letters from
their constituency demanding to know why
ffiiey voted against Cuba.
As an easy majority of the Republicans
are favorable to the belligerency resolu
tion and all are candidates for re-election
this fall, 'they are chafing under the re
straint. ‘and it would not take much to
force thorn out of the lines. The bold de>fi
of Congressman Colson, of Kentucky, met
support in many bosoms and many
demanded of the leaders how long they
are to be kept in a false position on the
Cuban and other questions,
\\ hen the House Is In the committee of
the whole Reed no longer leaves the capi
tal, but wanders about on the floor keep
ing his following In line. Despite this the
House :ot away from him twice Friday,
and General Grosvenor had to be given
his orders on the book-concern bill.
The order that no private pension or im
provement bi Ms are to be pa ssed may be
a good general party (measure In the inter
est of economy, but congressmen are re
sponsible to their districts rather’ than the
country at large, and every pension bill
that fails will make an enemy at home,
and every river improvement or new cus
tom house that is not pushed will reflect,
on the members from that district.
There is a distinct feeling of unrest in
the Republican ranks, and with the civil
service In -/i. ration the pear congressman
has little to show his .friends for the term
of office they have given him. The policy
of the administration furnishes hut little
c amp sign matter.
That a break is imminent is believed.by
all, and the administration realizes that
should it lose the House, with the Senate
already antagonistic, it will be the most
helpless in the history of the country.
The determined movement against Gage
and his policy is on 'the same line and the
Hawaiian annexation trembles in the bal
ance. V, ith this situation it is not won
derful that the executive dreads such ac
tion as may repudiate his administration.
cuttTnTaffray
In Jackson, Which May End
in Murder.
Jackson. Ga.. Jan. 28 —A bloody cutting
affray occurred in Jackson yesterday at
about 2:80 o'clock and as a result Mr.
Festus Barnes, a young merchant of
Worthville, is lying at the point " death
and Col. Frank B- Curry is under bond
for assault with intent to murder.
The affair grew out of several suits filed
agains.. Barnes & Son, who failed in busi
ness some weeks ago. Colonel Curry rep
resented the different plaintiffs and It
seems that Barnes had taken umbrage at
the manner in which Colonel Cyrry was
pushing the claims of his clients and when
they met in front of the Jacksop Times
office they began to dispute and soon came
to blows. After a few blows were passed,
it seems, the men separated, w it is
claimed by some that Mr. Barnes con
tinued to abuse Colonel Curry. Curry, i;
is claimed, asked him to desist and drew
his knife, whereupon Barnes attempted to
strike him.
It was then that Colonel Curry used his
■ knife with what may prove fatal results.
Barnes received an ugly gash, across thp
! jaw, completely cutting out a tooth. Cur
; ry also gave' him a stab in ' ■ shoulder,
Colonel Curry gave bond in the sum of
SSOO and was released. Mr. Barnes' was
I removed to his grandfather's, Mr. J. J.
Barnes, on Third street. Mr. Barnes and
Curry hnve been close friends and the
' fight is quite a surprise,
Mr. Barnes is an excellent young man
of a good family. Colonel Curry is well
known all over the state. He was rhe
efficient chairman of the judiciary com
mittee of the last legislature and a lawyer
of note.
The affair is greatly deplored here, for
both men are fearless and may be that
the end is not yet.
THE MACON NEWS.
SOME RINGING
SPEECHES TODAY
Teller Resolution Came Up
Today for Discussion in
the Senate.
JONES SUPPORTS MEASURE
And Says Those Who Do Not, Are
False to Their
Trusts.
Washington, Jan. 28.—-In accordance
with the agree.ment, the senate convened
<at 10 o’clock this morning. The chaplain
being absent Che vice-president opened the
session without the usual prayer.
(By unanimous consent routine business
was waived and Senator Stewart, of Ne
braska, opened the last day’s discussion of
the Teller resolution. In supporting the
resolution Mr. Stewart maintained that
money, whether it be silver or gold or pa
per, was a creature of the law, the crea
tion of money being Inherrent in all inde
pendent nations. He said that this state
ment had been upheld by the highest of
tribunals and cited historical instances of
such creation of money.”
Cannon said if there was no other reason
for his support of the resolution he would
vote for it to serve notice upon every cred
itor of the 'United States that he should
live up to the contract he entered into
with the government.
Jones, of Arkansas, began a speech in
support of the resolution by criticising the
posit ion taken by Allison, of Iow r a. He
thought the resolution would scarcely al
lign those who held various financial be
liefs. He said the advocates of the reso
lution proposed to pay the full pound of
flesh due, but absolutely not a bit more.
He read a newspaper in a fina'iicilan news
paper newspaper to the effect that there
would not be much serious opposition to
the effect that would wot be much
serious opposition to the legislation pro
posed by the monetary commission from
“recalcitrant silver senators.”
Jones gaVe notice that recalcitrant sil
ver senators would have to be reckoned
with pretty seriously before any such leg
islation as that proposed got through the
senate. Jones, continuing, said the nev.'s-
that were unfriendly to the cause
were saying that bimetallism was dead.
“I believe,” said the Arkansas senator,
"that the people’s conviction on this ques
tion is more firmly fixed than ever before.
They are determined to restore silver to
its status before 1873 and we shall do all
we can to accomplish that result. We
shall march in solid phalanx, with shields
locked, down to the day of doom in our
efforts for the restoration of silver, and the
Republican cries that the issue of silver
is dead will fall upon deaf ears.”
The first speech of the day in opposition
to the Teller resolution was delivered by
Burrpws, of (Michigan. He said that the
■Republican party was pledged to secure, if
possible, international bimetallism. The
president would do everything in his pow
er to carry out the pledge. Meantime the
existing gold standard would be maintain
ed. Until international agreement was se
cured the purpose of the administration
was to continute the kind of bimetallism
we now have, where 500,000,000 silver dol
lars were maintained at a parity with
gold. Any preposition which looks to the
abandonment of this position, which was
likely to create disparity between cents of
t'he country, was in violence of public
faith and outraged the rights of public
creditors.
White, Democrat, of California, spoke in
support of the resolution,
KILLING TIME.
Fight in the House Over an Old War
Claim.
Washington, Jan. 28.—This was private
bill day in the house under the rules, but
Grout, Republican, of Vermont, in charge
of the (District of Columbiti appropriation
bill, atempted to supplant the regular or
der with the consideration of that bill.
This immediately capsed a renewal of the
fight over the bill to pay the book publish
ing company of th? Methodist 'Episcipal
Church, South. $228,000 for damagees sus
tained by it during the war, which had al
ready consumed the entire time of two
private bill days. The friends of the latter
measure, under the leadership of 'Cooper,
Democrat, es Texas, rallied in opposition
to the motion and defeated It on a rising
vote, 72 to 1’29, In continuation of the fil
ibustering tactics begun last week. Dal
zell secured the yeas and nays in order to
consume time.
The roll call developed such an over
whelming majority in favor of the bill
that Dalzell offered to make terms with
the friends of the bill for the relief of the
Methodist Book Publishing Company, and
finally arranged that after the debate,
until 4 o'clock, a vote will be had directly
on the bill.

COMPULSORY
VACCINATION,
Parents of School Children
Will Fight the Board’s
Resolution
SAYS 'TiS NOT LEGAL
An Attorney Will Be Employed and
the Courts Appealed to—Con
siderable Opposion.
The resolution of the county board of
education Tuesday night to make vaccina
tion of the school children compulsory has
stirred up opposition, which character
ized the passage of a resolution of this na
ture two years ago.
When the resolution was passed the
first time 5000 citizens signed a petition
to the board to rescind the resolution. An
attorney was employed to go before the
board and point out to them that they
could not legally enforce the resolution,
and if then the board refused to recon
sider the matter to carry it into the courts.
The courts were not appealed to, as the
resolution was not enforced and was
finally rescinded.
Nov. the same opposition that was form
erly displayed has come up and parents
declare that they will fight the matter
to the end.
Among the most forward in the opposi
tion are the parents of children who at
tend the East Macon schools. Many of
them declare they will move out of the
county before they will submit to having
their children vaccinated.
A fund is being raised to employ counsel
to fight the matter in the courts, if need
be. An attorney has been retained and
they declare that they matin business.
The opinion is that the board passed
this resolution under the impression that
council had passed an audinance making
board, however, declare that such was not
the case. They say that there is a county
institution and city.
say that the resolution can
not be legally enforced unless in each
ease wher a child is vaccinated a special
reason is given why the lives and health
case where a child is vaccinated a special
not being vaccinated.
Members of the board refuse to give ex
pression to their views. They say that
they expressed themselves when .. e reso
lution was passed.
The resoltion will be enforced and the
experience of two years ago will be
pea ted.
HEAPS OF BONES.
Supposed to Be Those of a Murdered Ship's
Crew,
Corpus iCristi, Texas, Jan. 28,—‘A num
ber of years ago an old Mexican told a
story to a inumber of Corpus Christi peo
ple about the massafcre of a crew and
passengers of a brig, saying that their
bones were somewhere near the mouth of
Blind Ozo, ten miles south of the city.
Thither a number of men went to search
for th&remains, and some of them were
found.
A few days ago Dr. Zeel, accompanied
a.number of friends, went there and exam
ined the heaps of bones, searching for a
clue to the identity of the unfortunates
who perished.
They must have been the bones of Cau
casians, whose bones were stripped by the
robbers.
Further search will be made soon and it
is thought that interesting developments
will be brought to light.

a state official houlding one of the most

people is traveling over the state crying
out for vind'icatkin, without telling any
one from what he wants to be vindicated.”

danger of the disease there.
The scene at the city hall today was a
most remarkable one. Hundreds of ap
plicants. all colors and sizes, thronged in
and around the building. The doctors
have had their hands full, and will have
for the next few days.
Most of those being vaccinated today
are children, though many older people
bared their arms for the doctor’s lancet.
A supply of vaccine points have been
received at all the drug stores, and while
the doctors at the city hall are vaccina
ting those who do not care to pay any
thing for the job, the other physicians are
kept busy plying the lancet on the arms
of those who do not like so much pub
licity.
Chairman Barron, of the Board of
Health, says that he does not consider the
situation at all alarming. He, with other
physicians, are of the opinion that there
is no genuine cases of smallpox in Macon.
The negro woman on Calhoun street is
getting along as well as could be expected.
She is isolated from all, and the house is
carefully guarded, as is the case of Miss
Knox.

Is the City of Macon—She
Passed Hawkinsville
Yesterday.
Macon’s new steamboat, the City of Ma
con, passed Hawkinsville yesterday morn
ing at 9:30 o’clock on her way to Bruns
wick, as the following from Captain Miller
to Mr. George A. Smith will show:
Hawkinsville, Ga., Jan. 27.—Mr. George
A. Smith, Macon, Ga. —Dear Sir: Reached
Hawkinsville this morning at 9:30. Low
water and had to travel slow to take care
of boat. Expect to arrive in Brunswick
Saturday or Monday next. Everything all
right. J, W, MILLER.
The City of MaeQU. left for Brunswick
Tuesday morning at 7:30 o’clock. As the
boat has only one erew, and, therefore,
does not run at night, the time made be
tween Macon and Hawkinsville is consid
ered very good. The boat is untended to
make two round trips each month between
Macon and Hawkip s zv*Be,and this, as has
been demonstrated, she will be able to do.
The following special from Hawkins
ville also tells of the City of Macon touch
ing at that point:
Hawkinsville, Ga., Jan. 28—The steamer
Chy of Macon, which left Macon last
Tuesday morning, arrived here at 10
o’clock yesterday morning. This boat is
making Its first trip and Is bound for
Brunswick. It was thought by the pro
moters that the trip could be made in four
days, but Captain J. M. Miller, who is
running the boat, stated that, owing to the
slow apeed which he was obliged to make
from Macon to this point, it would require
at least a week going down and two tn
three days longer returning. The boat
stopped beta Just long enough to get mail
and some supplies.
RUMOR OF RECALL.
New York, Jan. 28—A special to the
Herald from Port-Au Prince, Hayti, says:

minister to Hayti, William F. Powell, has

with the Lueders incident, which resulted
in Germany sending warships here to col
lect indemin Ry.

We find that it’s cheaper in the end to do this than
to hang on to them and may be carry a few into
another season.
We couldn’t find better qualities if we tried. Yet
here they are in the very latest shapes, and often at
less than the bare cloth is worth.
