BARNES ANXIOUS
FOR_A SCRAP,
The United States Marshal
Says He Will Go or
Resign.
ASKS LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
I
And Has Told the President That if!
It Not Granted He Will Re
sign the Office.
United States Marshal John M. Barnes,
•of the Southern district of Georgia, means
to go to the war, and no question of office
will hold him back.
Mr. Barnes wrote to the department
about the end of last March, when war
seemed to be inevitable. He then then
asked simply for leave of absence, saying
that in the event of war he wished to go
to the front.
The department has not answered this
letter, and the marshal waited in vain for
the permission that would send him to the
front among the first.
Yesterday when the news of the firing of
the first gun came in Marshal Barnes could
stand it no longer. He thought that per
haps the department thought that he was
making a regular Bill Atkinson bluff, but
he is not made of that sort of stuff.
Marshal Barnes yesterday wrote to the
president and in that letter he told Mr.
McKinley that he wanted leave of ab
sence. He - wanted to go to the front, and
if the president did not see fit to allow
him to go because he happened to be a
United Slates marshal, he would let the
marehalship go to thunder, and would go
to the war anyhow.
It view of this it is altogether proba
ble that the president will give rhe mar
shal permission to go to the front, and if
he does the office will be in charge of
Chief Deputy Lock,, who having been
through one war, is perfectly content to
remain one of the home guard and yet
the younger generation go out and see
what war is like.

Tomorrow in
the Churches.
A great revival is now in progress at
Centenary church, under the leadership of
the popular pastor.
Beginning only a few weeks ago every’ I
service has been blessed in the conversion i
of soils, and resulted in a number of ac- ■
cessions to the church. For the last few
nights the church has been crowded, evi- i
dencing the universal interest that is be
ing felt. One of the striking features of
this revival is the effective work done '
through ‘the cottage prayer meetings of the ■
children and young people, two of which
have been held each afternoon. These I
meetings have been so wonderfully sue- ■
eessful that when at night Dr. Ellis gives j
an opportunity for testimony, numbers of
boys and girls tell of the blessings re
ceived that afternoon, and how happy they
are in the service of Jesus.

MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 23 IS9S
MR. HORACE M.
POWERS DEAD.
A Well Known Citizen of
i
Macon Dies Suddenly
This Morning;.
HM CONGESTION,
Funeral Arrangements Have Not
Been Made —Son of the Late
Virgil Powers.
Mr. Horace Powers, one of the best
known citizens in Macon, died at his home,
219 High street today at 11 o’clock of con
gestion.
The death of Mr. Powers comes a great
shock to his many friends in Macon. He
was perfectly well last night when he
went to bed and got up this morning com
plaining a little. He rapidly grew ill until
at 11 o'clock he died in great pain.
Mr. Powers was bookkeeper for Payne
& 'W'illingham up to last Monday, when he
left them, his time being up there. He
was with this firm all 'through the busy
season of the winter.
The deceased was 45 years of age. He
was a brother of Mr. Virgil Powers and
Drewry Powers and Mrs. Charles Bannon,
Sr., and a brother-in-law to Mr. Malone,
one of the firm of Holt & Malone. He was
a son of the late Virgil Powers, who dur
ing his life was one of the foremost rail
road men of the state.
Mr. Powers had never married. He was
popular with all classes, and had a pecu
liar knack of making friends wherever he
went.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made, but the interment will
be at Rose Hill.

ROADS ARE NOW BUSY.
They Are Hauling Thousands of Soldiers
and Tons of Ammunition.
The roads leading South have been doing
a heavy passenger business the last ten
days moving soldiers. Most of these move
: ments are by special train and the roads
i are getting some revenue from the war.
Yesterday the war .department was fig-
I uring on the movement of troops from
i Tybe and New Orleans to Chickamauga.
The regulars at Tybee have not been there
. more than a few days. Wry the govern
j mnet wanted to move them away is’ a
• mystery.
A reasonable supposition is that Geor
gia troops are to be sent to the coast to de
fend Savannah and the regulars will be
; sentto Cuba. It may be the policy of the
war department to use state troops for
coast defense, but the officials here stated
that they had no information on that
point.
The railroads have been making the gov
ernment a rate of 2 cents a mile for the
transportation of troops, and that will be
the approximate rate.

GOVERNOR’S VIEWS.
He Says the War With Spain Will Not be a
Matter of a Few Days.
New Yorok, April 23. —Senator Gorman,
of Maryland, was at the Fifth Avenue Ho
' tel last night. He looked pale and said
he was suffering from the grip; that he had
had the grip for thirteen years in succes
sion, and that he was about tired of it.
Senator Gorman said that he did not wish
to be quoted at length on the Cuban ques
tion, but he shook his head sadly when he
he said:
“If war is to come it looks to me that it
would be a very much longer affair than
most people imagine. I cannot help think
ing that. Folks who think that this mat
ter is to be settled in a day or a few
months will, in my estimation, be very
sadly mistaken. That is all that I care
to say -about the matter at this time.”
Senator Gorman, .in 'his remarks, reflec
ted the sentiments ot Speaker Reed, Vice
President Hobart, Senator Elkins, and
others in Washington.
A story was started up town last night to
the effect that eventually Consul General
Lee is to be made Governor General of
•Cuba under a temporary American protec
torate. Almost every officer of the Con
federate army who is now a resident of
New York city, has written to General Lee
asking to be assigned to his staff in the
event of his taking command of a brigade
of volunteers.
There is also a movement on foot on the
part of English residents in New York to
raise men and money to sustain the United
States against Spain. Henry Clews, who
was the fiscal agent of the navy depart
menet in civil war days, it was said,, is at
the head of this movement, and it is got
ten up for the purpose of demonstrating
that the English-born citizens now in the
United Statese are rady and willing to
contribute men -and money to overthrow
the Spanish domination on the island of
Cuba. James R. Keene and others, it was
said, have agreed to furnish their share of
the funds.
