MERCER'S TEAM
NEEDS STRENGTH
The Orioles Made Monkeys
of the Tigers Yesterday
AQernoon.
VUI Al THE BAT
And Loose Playing in the Field Per
mitted a Big Score bv Han
lon's Sluggers.
In th. up-10-dat* expression the Balti- |
. i .Lt tMi r<-*-r I
moi*- it .iin iiwk monkey* oi in* >
boy* ycst.rday afternoon in the game of :
ball. It was a om-slucd affair all the
way through, t hough of course no one *x
pet tt.l to *<•• M r ■ r Jut. r- a the Oriole*
v i fy much.
One ;.n-on of Uu lax gam* put up by
■ •the M< rcer miin wa* that fact that sev
. ral of tiie players bad to stay al lav col
lege on some examinations and could not
play, though those th.it were there did
very Irttl- to make the game interesting.
The Baltimore’s playid a listless game"
with a big lead in the -on. Garrett was
jMiun-hd all over tin field, and Mansfield i
was put in with a *or* arm and held the
Heavy hitlers down a little better. He
struck two of them out in sticctsslon.
In the field some of the men stood with .
one foot on their kin-e in school boy sash- i
ion, ami when a ball w.’s batted in their j
direction it took them several seconds to i
unlimber for action, - |
Though the Mercer boys only went into i
the game to get the benefit of playing a I
t< am so much stronger than they are, they j
clearly demonstrated that they are sadly
in n-« I of practice, both in the field and
at the bat. There is med of some leading
spirit on the team to keep up some noise
and infuse a little ginger into the game.
The score, 'M to 4 was made while the
crowd looked on and groaned at the large
number of errors that, the Mercer boys
piled up. A change of umpires did not
li< Ip. the play of tiie tigers. If Mer-*
cer expects to beat Athens this year she
wants lo get some one on the team with
b-iter batting ability than some of those
she has got now, tor in the game with
John Knox's North Georgia team a few
days ago the Athens boys demonstrated
that they were heavy hitters, ami knew
What lo do with themselves in the field.
A GENEROUS OFFER
Mrde to the Hospital Association by M. & B.
Railway.
tine of the most liberal oilers that have
ye; be-n made to the Ladies' Auxiliary of
th-' Macon Hospital Association, is the one
tiiai Iras just been made by the Macon and
Birmingham road, through General
Freight Agent R. G. Stone.
The road has oft-red to the Ladies Aux
iliary through its chairman, Mrs. L. O.
Stevens, ;■ per cent, of all gross through
freight earnings handled into Macon from
April 1 to April 15 inclusive.
This- is a generous otter, and will no
doubt be accepted by the ladies, as it will
net ihem several hundred dollars, and will
be very little work.
I he Ladies’ Auxiliary will hold a meet
ing sometime soon to accept the otter and
arrange plans for making the receipts of
the road during the period which they will
get the 5 per cent, as large as possible.
1 his is the first time that any railroad
in the country has ever offered a per cent,
of its earnings to any cause, and the gen
erosity ol tin Maeon and Birmingham and
its officials is greatly appreciated. Thu
ladies ->t the hospital will act as soliciting
freight agents, and a laree part of freight
■that will he hauled into Macon during that
time will come over tiie Macon and Birm
ingham.
Following is the letter which has been
received by Mrs. L. O. Stevens, chairman
of the Ladies Auxiliary:
Macon, Ga.. March 19th, 1898.
Mrs. Ixiuis O. Stevens, President Ladies
Auxiliary, Maeon City Hospital Associa
tion, Macon, Ga.
My Dear Madam: Recognizing the good
work done by our Hospital since its organ
ization ami equipment, also appreciating
its present financial difficulties, and de
siring to aid in the further advancement
of this institution in a substantial way,
our management has authorized me to
make you the following proposition:
We propose to give to the Ladies Aux
iliary of the Macon Hospital Association
5 per cent, of the gross Macon and Birm
ingham railway earnings of all through
freight t ratlie handled by the Macon and
Birmingham railway company into Macon
from \pril Ist to \.pnl 15th. 1898, inclu
sive.
Kindly advise me if our proposition is
accepted hi order that we may discuss in
detail the arrangement for carrying out
our proposition.
If we can further assist you in the mat
ter of getting as large amount as possible
for the Hospital, we will be pleased to do
iso. I remain, yours with respect,,
, R. G. STONE,
. General Freight Agent.

ing Lieut. S. R. Wiley, who is at present
in command of the company, will :vk Col.

Floyd Rifles, bitt this is a mistake, as Mr.
Herring W inship has not been a candidate
Jn fact it is doubtful if he is a member of

JEM LOCKETT
Is Suing the Central Railroad for the Loss
of His Leg.
I
j Jim -Lockett is suing the Central rail
j road for SIO,OOO in the city court today.
Jim lost his leg while in the einploy of
| the Central railroad, and later he lost his
liberty at the hands of a jury and a judge
in the superior court.
It will ne remembered that Jim Lockett
j is the same one-legged negro who killed
old man Paul Freeman in South Macon
some months ago, and who was tried in
the superior court some time ago, and
would in all probability have been hung if
he had had two legs, and the jury had not
hesitated to urge a man into eternity who
was so badly maimed.
i And now Jim Lockett, who had filed suit
! some time ibefore his other mishap, which
■ included a mishap to old man Freeman, is
I in the city court trying to get a judgment
- against the Central railroad, and of course
. the fact that he has to spend his life in
•i the penitentiary will not affect- the verdict
I of the jury, because Jim had not fallen
I from grace when he lost life leg.
He will probably get a good verdict, and
' his family will be benefited.

THE CHALLENGE
WEPTED
Pardon Board Takes Attorney
Harris at His Word and
Visits Mrs. Nobles.
MESSRS. TH 110 BEACH
Are Here Today to Visit the Old Wo
man and Judge of Her Insanity
for Themselves,
The state pardon board has accepted the
. ti.ilhuge oi Mr. Marion Harris, attorney
ipr M,.~. ..obits, and ill uase >Uieir Ue-
Ci.-ion upon tn t videi.ee oi a personal in
v*..-. igatioi. ot wcetuer oi not the old wo
man is responsible lor her acts.
i - sterday Gen. Clement A. Evans, of the
pardon board, came to -Macon and went to
U.e jail, where he had a long conference
with -Mrs. Nobles. All during, his
stay here ae succeeded in eluding report
er.-, u.-d hence no expression of what he
thought or the case ot the old woman could
be- procure-d. He did not stop at any ot
the aotels, but went to a private residenoe
in Mineville.
.Today Chairm.an Turner and Mr. Jake
Beach, the other two memoers of the par
-ion board, came to the city to investigate
the case, ana from this evidence it is cer
tain mat the board has very grave doubts
as to the .sanity of iMrs. Naoles, and there
is very little uoubt in -the minds- of those
who are intimately acquainted with the
old woman nut ,wnat tneir decision will
be that she -was not morally responsible
lor tiie crime which she denies now that
see had anything whaee-ver to do with.
Until several months ago Mrs. Nobles
never denied mat she assisted in the kill
ing oi her husband, and a well known
saying at' hers was that she would not
have killed him had she -known that she
was going to make so much trouble.
A lew months ago a News reporter
called oh her at her cell, and asked her
about the eri-me, iwhen she was sentenced
to be hung a few days later. -She emphat
ically denied that she ever had anything
to ao with the killing, and that she did
nut know anything about it. Ever since
■ that time she has stroutly denied any
knowli dge of the crime.
Up to 2 o’clock the members of the par
don board had not made their appearance
at the jail, and cannot be found at any of
the hotels, but they are in Macon, and
will probably go to the jail some time
this afternoon, when no newspaper men
are on watch.
Dr. Worsham was called in this morn
ing to see Mrs. Nobles, as she is complain
ing, and vzent to bed about 10 o’clock.
Her condition is not serious. She is
suffering more from fright than anything
else, and her whole system seems to -be
breaking down. In the .past few weeks
she has los tra.pidly in flesh, and is look
ing unusually pale and sallow. It is‘evi
dent that she could not live much longer
in the confinement to which she has been
subjected for the past few years.
No one denies that she is a cunning old
woman, but hers is the cunning Os an ani
mal, who, even in its ignorance, regards the
first law of nature of self-preservation.
Her penetration in matters with which
A.e has ha-d dealings is very acute, and
she has a remarkable memory for all in
juries done her, and does not soon forget a
kindness.- -But the ordinary things of life
she cannot recollect, and they come to her
only as they do the animal. Her insanity
is more from ignorance than from any
other reason, and she hasn’t -the least con
ception of moral responsibility.
Were she shamming insanity she could
give more decided evidence that she were
insane than she does at present. iShe is
totally unconscious in everything she does
and says, and there is not the least affec
tation.
•Mentally Gus Fambles is no better than
Mrs. Noibles, as he, too, is densely -igno
rant. He has but one fear since he was
put in jail, and that is that he would be
lynched. He did not seem to dread being
executed by law', but when there was a
threatened attack on the jail when Wil
liams, the rapist, was confined there, he
was in mortal terror, and 'begged that the
lynchers not be permitted to find him.
The decision of the board will be made
tomorrow, and submitted to the governor,
and it is a settled fact now that Mrs. No
bles will not be allowed to hang Friday,
for there are other procee-dures that can
be taken if the pardon board should re
commend that she be executed as the law
prescribes.
