Manager Hanlon was asked hy a News reporter this morning if he feared any .lang' r from smallpox from the pest house which bad b.en built at the Central City park.

Report Favoring t Such a Step Was Readtin Council Last Night. COST Os ASPHALT« BRICK Will be Ascertained by Advertising tor Bids Specifications - An Im portant Meeting Held. Ao the meeting of the city council held la. t night a move was made that will be encouraging to the gentlemen who have linn in the city for some time in the in terest of various and sundry asphalt com panies and who have based their hopes on gt tiling some concession from the ad vocates of granite cubes that might give them a chance to get in 'their work upon some of the streets. The mayor stated 'that as so much had been said by some people about the dif ferent materials to be used in the work of paving he thought that it would be wise for council to give the public an op portunity to know something about 'the cost of the different kinds of pavements that might be used and he bad therefore instructed the city engineer *to prepare specifications under which the different kinds of pavement other than granite were to be used. Brick and Asphalt. These specifications were for asphalt and for brick. Then he asked council to pass a resolution providing that after the specifications had been received and pass ed upon by the city council the Board of Public Works be authorized to advertise for bids for paving in these two materials in order that when other streets were to be paved the council and the public them selves might have before them the lowest prices at which all these materials could be laid down by the different companies bidding for them. Don’t Know the Cost. In this way he said a more intelligent idea of the matter would be brought before the public. He said that a good deal of talking had been done by people who did not know anything about the comparative cost of the materials and that it was councils idea not only to listen as far as possible to the voice of the public who might be the property owners on the streets to be paved, but to be as careful as might be with the people's money in order that there might be no unnecessary waste. The resolution asked for was passed very promptly. There was a full meeting of the board of aidermen and business was transacted with a rush. The Public Library was granted the use of Central City park for the Fourth of July, or rather their peti tion was referred to the committee on Public property and it is of course a fore gone conclusion that they will be given the right to use the park. This permission they will take advantage of —if the pest house and its occupants have been re moved by that time. Board of Health Ordinance. The Board of Health asked council to append a penalty clause to an ordinance fiained by the board requiring all persons who have been associated with cases of smallpox to be at once removed to the house of detention. The ordinance was not put upon its second reading and pass ed with the penalty clause affixed as might have been expected, but was referred to the ordinance committee which of course gives it a week longer and might under the same system of delay protract the time for the passage of such an ordin'ance for the next two weeks. If the Board of Public Works and the mayor see their way to it the city hall can be at once remoddeled so as to give it ample room for the offices down stairs thus placing the council chamber up stairs on the second floor. To Improve tlie Hall. This came up on the report of the com mittee on the petition of the Board of Public Works 'asking for the furnishing of an office cn the second floor for the use of the board. In the report it was stated that the present accommodation for the officers was entirely too limited and re commended that the mayor be empowered at any time he could do so at a reasonable cost to remodel the interior of the hali so as to place the council chamber on the second floor and give the officers more room so that they might all be brought together, both for their own convenience and for the convenience of the public. Another committee report last night called for the laying of a sidewalk on Cherry street from Fourth to Seventh street. This is under a petition presented at a previous meting in which it was ask ed that the street as far as Seventh be placed in the paving district. Epworth League Tent The Epworth League will pitch its big tent in Rose Park having been granted permission to do so by council last night. This is a remarkably good location in the opinion of the committee having the mat ter in hand and now with the arrival of the tent which will be here on the first, everything is in readiness for the big con vention which will be ‘the most largely at tended convention ever held in Macon. Alderman Morgan asked for the passage of an ordinance supplemental to the li cense ordinance for ibis year and it was put on its seefond reading and passed. Under that ordinance dealers in plumbers and gas fixtures, etc., will have to pay a license of S2O and dealers exclusively in shirts other than the . manufacturers of those articles will be called upon to pay a license of $25. Estimates of Cost The resolution reported at the last meet ing by Wlderman Williams was reported favorably on by the committee. Under this resolution whenever the estimate of cost of paving a street has been secured and a property owner is called upon for his share of the cost he is to be furnished with an itemized statement of the cost of paving the srteet. This statement to be ior his satisfaction and information. Altogether the meeting was full of In terest from the start to the finish and was one cf the most important that has been held this year.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 16 1898. What is Going On in Society. During toe recent visit of Mr and Mrs. R. -L «laK*nD<y to Nassau they not *.Lly enjoyed the beauty and quaintness of the place, but made a number of friends among the residents. A Nassau paper has the following: “The musical entertainment given tn Victoria Hall on Trursday evening was very enjoyable. The principal parts of the program were filled by two of our American visitors, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. McKenney, of Macon, Ga., who although here for but a few days, kindly consented to assist. Mr. and Mrs. McKenney sang both solos and duets, and delighted the audiences by their rendering of the various pieces rendered. Both have highly culti vated voices, that of Mr. McKenney being remarkable for compass anl power, anl that of Mrs. McKenney being particularly sweet." ?• Miss Willie Burke, of Atlanta, who not long since was the admired Miss Huguenin and Miss Stetson, is now vis iting in Forsyth, and is receiving muuh admiration there. A few evenings since a large reception was given in honor of Miss Burke and Aliss Wing, also of Atlanta. * • « Mrs. Rushin, of Alabama, is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Broadus Willingham. M'iss Susia Stevens, of Wesleyan, left for her home in Dawson this morning to vlislt her parents. Mr. Clem Phillips has very generously offered to the ladles of the Hospital Aux iliary the use of his store for one day—lo per cent of the proceeds to go to the hospital. The most attractive matrons and maids of Macon will act as saleswomen. (Mr. John Hoge has also offered to let the Indies sell the soda water at Lamar's /ount for one day, and it is proposed to take the two enterprises in hand on the same day. THE COURT’S GOOD ORDER.’ Gen. Pavey's High Compliment to Conduct of the Southern District.. Gen.' C. W. Pavey, of Illinois, and M'aj. Leigh Chalmers, of Texas, examiners of the department of justice, who have been in the city for several days past, have about concluded their work in connection with the Southern district of Georgia, and with the exception of one or two little matters in the marshal’s office, which will no doubt be wound up today, they are ready to make their final report upon the condition of affairs judicial, in the dis trict, says the Savannah Morning News. There is no doubt that their inves’tiga ■tion in this district have given both Gen. Pavey and Maj. Chalmers entire satisfac tion. They have found everything in re markably good order, and there are many noticeably excellent features about the conduct of the work in the Southern dis trict to which they will call special atten tion in their reports. Especially have been impressed with the conduct of the court itself. “I have never in my life,” Gen. Pavey said, “seen better order and better con duct in a court room, than in that of Judge Emory Speer. The court is con ducted with a dignity and precision that is at once noticeable, and with those qualities there is a promptness and dis patch that make it altogether an ideal court. It evinedfe a respect for the laws and for the judiciary that anyone is glad to see, and of which any American citizen should be proud. “Another most noticeable feature,” Gen. Pavey continued, “and one of which I have spoken in letters I have written to Washington, is the personnel of those in attendance upon and in the service of the court, in fact of the whole force in the service of the court. AVe have found them all not only able and effeeient men in the capacities in which they are employed, but dignified and courteous gentlemen. We found it really refreshing to meet and to talk with them. The same, I may say, is true of the personnel of the court force in the Northern district of Georgia. These ■are two of the best districts, we have found anywhere, and there are many ex cellent features in connection with both of them to which we shall call special at tention.- “Our work here is about completed, and so far as we have gone we have found the records complete, carefully kept, and prac tically perfect. There is nothing out of the way. It is pleasing to come in contact with offices that are kept in such a busi ness-like manner. There is quite a dif ference between this and one or two of the districts visited in other states where several irregularities, were found, and where we had to get after one or two of the officials rather sharply. Nothing of the kind is found here, and I may say without reservation that the result of our examination here has been most pleasing and satisfactory.” GAME SEASON’S CLOSE. Yesterday Was the Last Day for Killing Birds. The game season closed yesterday. After March 15 passes sportsmen are prohibited by law fa-cm indulging in. the delights af-_ forded by a trip afield with gun and dog. Two or three years ago the limit of the shooting season was changed, the game being given a greater chance. There was danger of it all being exterminated in shoa t order unless some legislation were adopted for its protection. A month cut off from the season at its opening and fifteen days at its close. Many of the legis lators, whose eloquence resounds through the c-apitbfs hall are ardent sportsmen. Their own ‘inclinafion to have the game of the state protected were hacked up by pe titions received from sportsmen of all sec tions, and they iwere successful in getting the season shortened. It was shown that all kinds of game in Georgia were rapfidly being swept away by the storms of shot that were fired for six months during *he year with the con sent of the law, to say nothing of the (in roads made upon the young birds and beasts for the coming seasons by 'those who had no regard for the law. Young quail, almost wnfeathered, were being shot before they were able to fly any distance, the chance •f the older birds with their stronger -wings and swifter flight being denied the little fellows 'that fell an easy prey before the guns of the hunters. As w'ith quail, so it was with other game, and its perpetuity in Georgia was in a bad way until the passage of the aot that set the present limit to the hunting season. Huntsmen did not find the’season past to afford as fine sport as is often found. For some reason, thpy say, birds were not so plentiful. It has been notieed that no snipe, or at least but few, have put in ap pearance during the late winter end early spring. Usually the ne'ighborhoc-d of Sa vannah furnishes good snipe shooting in season, a number of excellent bogs being found within a radius of a few miles. The late winter has been too dry for the snipe it 'is said. The birds like wet spots where Jhey can <run theSr long bills into the mud in search for worms. January and Febru ary were so dry that a snipe would have found great difficulty in getting his bill into the ground. A few sportsmen report having kilied several of ithe birds on trips, but they have been wanting in their usual numbers. FRC.M A DISTINGUISHED EDUCATOR.

ANOTHER BOAT WILL BE BUILT An Enthusiastic Meeting of Merchants Was Held at Chamber Commerce. WORK m BEGIN AT ONCE Books for Stock Subscriptions Are to be Opened and Navigation Business to Begin in Earnest. Another tout will be built at once by the : Macon Navitt tion Company, to run from j Mt,-on to Biuuswick. This was de-.-ided. at a meeting at the navig < -c 1 committee of •the Chamber of Commerce yesterday af ternoon, acting upon a resolution intro duced by Mr. Tinsley. Toe action of the ccmmide.? ycs'erday afteri-oon was upon the mot’o » which was i adopted at the last meeting of the Cham l..ber of eomeree, indorsing the plan for I building more boats for the Ocmuigee and assuring the navigation company of their hearty co-operation. AH of th-' business men of the city have assured the company that <thty will subscribe liberally far the erection of more boats, and when Mr. Tinsley’s resolution was introduced yes terday-afternoon it went through without a murmur. T‘ e new boat will be built at once, and t e work will be commenced as soon as the stock can be subscribed, and will be rushed as rapidly as possible. The new craft will be built after the style of the City of Macon, with some im provements which have suggested them selves ’in the City of Macon. Bids will be advertised for in a few days. When these two boats are in successful opration and the business of the line has been built up sufficiently, other crafts will •be built, but it is the intention of the navigation company to build boats only as the business will warrant it, and the river traffic along the Oomulgee has been dead so iong, that ft will take some time to re vive it. The business on the river has now in creased beyond the capacity of the City of Macon, and as soon as the new boat can be completed It will have about all the business that it can do. Its capacity will be one hundred tons, the same as the City of Macon. Books for the subscription of stock will be opened right away and the work of raising the money for the new aleeessory io the Oemulig-ee boat line will be commenc ed.

Negro Claims to Have Been Brutally Treat 'ed at the Fail. Tom Wright is in serious trouble and he feels that he has a very distinct grievance against the world at large and against B.tXb county in particular. The story leading up 'to Tom’s troubles is somewhat long. He had a very distinct cause for complaint against his wife, and she, on the other hand, says that he has deserted her and his children. He was arrested on this charge and last night was placed in jail. As soon as he got inside the jail he says he wae by a hurley prisoner who demanded money, and as he was’ent of funds he was unable to comply with the demands. He offered to bacco, but this was not enough and he was then and there severely Whipped with a. strap hf the prisoners. He carries the marks of the whipping with him. This marning he was acquited on the charge of desertion -in the justice court, but was almost immediately afterwards arrested again and locked up in jail. Mr. Lamar Clay, who knows Tom well, says that he will vouch for the innocence of the negro, and he is outraged at the treatment the man received at the’ hands of the other prisoners. He says that it his ■intention to see if someone cannot be held responsible for the outrage. The whipping given the negro seems to be the regular method of initiation, as W right says that the other prisoners who c«ne in were whipped.
