first Volunteers Will Be Given Preference
When Promotions Are Made.
The nie'iilers o' t„e Mite militia who
are anxious for ir< n c.tioa of or military
glory will do well to enlist and not to
wait h- iimt'nr call. Governor Atkinson
'has stated that the soldiers who answered
tn first call will be given the preference
at ail t.tties when pionotions are to be
made.
Some of t'.i con; tnics of the state mil
itia are waiting for a second call for troops
thinking that in that event they can go
•with all of their present officers, but in
this they will 'be mistaken, for if there is
another call for troops the men who an
swer it will be officered by the men who
volunteered in response to the first call.
It is regarded as certain by the members
of the slate militia that there will be an
other -call and those of military compa

mined to awit an opportunity to go to war
with good jobs. An officer who is dose to

Is to select men from the first volunteers

that the first troops will soon gain an
experience which will better fit hem for
the remand of a company than the pres

recognition of the patriotic volunteers who
(have so readily responded to the first call.

DEWEY’S HISTORY,
The Commodore is a Fighter of the Old
School.
Commodore Dewey who commanded the
squadron, who won a victory in the first
fight of she 'American-Spanish war, is a
fighter of the old school. He has been in
many battles and has aways come out with
glory and honor.
His first detail after joining the navy
was with the old frigate Wabash, of the
'Mediterranean squadron, in 1853-59, and
it was this connection which made him
the officer to command the Asiatic squad
ron at his critical time.
Commodore iDewey was born in Vermont
on December 26, 1837. He was appointed
from Vermont to the naval academy in
1854, graduating four years later. Imme
diately upon graduation he was assigned
to the AVabash, and eight days after Fort
Monroe was fired upon he was transferred
to the Mississippi, under Adwiral Fara
gut, then doing duty in the gulf squadron.
Dewey was with Farragut when one Os
the hottest naval battles of the civil war
occurred and forced an entrance into the
mouth of the Mississippi river, running
the gauntlet of the land batteries Into
New' Orleans and compelling the surren
. der of that city in 1862.
Commodore Dewey’s second smell of
powder and smoke was the last fight in
which the Mississssippi engaged, in March,
1863, when the fleet tried to run the Con
federate batteries at Port Huron. Several
of the ships reached the narrow part of
the channel, where they met the land
■batteries almost muzzle to muzzle, being
forced to beat a hasty retreat. The day
was a foggy one and amid the denseness
of the fog and the smoke of battle the
Mississippi lost her bearings and grounded
on shore.
A quick survey of her surroundings
showed the officers that she had struck
the shore almost in the mouth of the line
of fortifications, which were the strongest
and best along the shore,
In an Instant the old sloop was riddled
with 250 bullets. Her officers saw that she
was a complete loss and. setting fire to
her, they took to small boats and made
shore on the other side of the river,

CITY SOLONS
WER£LANGUID
Meeting Was Not Enlivened
Bv Anything of Great
Public Moment.
Wilt UP AGAIN.
Mr. Horne Has a Petition Directing
Their Attention to the Paving on
Mulberry and Third.
The regular meeting of the city council
was absolutely devoid of incident that
would interest the public to any great ex
tent.
The paving question came up again in a
mild form, but while it looked at first as
if there might 'be a little flurry over it,
the matter was settled very promptly.
Mr. Henry Horne had a petition before
council asking them to consider his peti
tion for the paving of Third and Mulber
ry streets with asphalt by the Southern
Asphalt Company under th« bid made by
them.
The petition conveyed a number of sta
tistics showing that an overwhelming ma
jority of the property owners on these
streets asked for asphalt in preference to
any other material.
There was no special request in the pe
tition, but it was thought possible that
council would take some action on the
question of material for these two streets.
'.Aiderman Pearson moved that the peti
tion be filed in the clerk's office for future
reference. Before a second was taken Al
derman Williams asked that a vote be
taken on the motion, and when it was
pointed out 'by the mayor that a vote was
about to be taken, Aiderman Williams,
who had probably meant that he wanted
a division so that the members of council
might each go on record, subsided, and
“the subsequent proceeding knew of him
no more.”
CONOBETE UNDER THE TRACKS.
Tue city engineer had a communication
before council last night that may bring
out something interesting.
'He pointed out that the Consolidated
Street Car Company, in doing its share of
the paving on Fourth street, had failed to
comply with the specifications calling for
the laying of concrete, and, as a conse
quence the street showed evidence of sink
ing in places that had been done without
the concrete.
The engineer asked that council take
some action in the matter so as to absolve
the engineer from any blame in that con
nection.
The petition was referred to the com
mittee on streets, and the action of coun
cil at the next meeting will be of interest.
TO IMIPROVE COLLEGE STREET.
College street is the next of the resi
dence streets to be improved.
The work on Second street from 'Poplar
to Boundary has been nearly completed,
and when that is done the cemejit rock
which has been used on that street, will
be put down from one end of College street
to the other.
It is stated, however, by some of the res
idents of College street that they will not
allow this material to be used on their
street without a fight.
It has been the desire of the residents of
College street to see that street laid with
asphalt when the time comets and they
wll try to get this material used.
A petition asking for the removal of the
telephone and street car poles from the
soldewalk on Washington avenue .oppo
site the (Baptist church, was referred to
the committee on streets for a report at
the next meeting of council.
ROUTINE BUSINESS.
The committee reported adversely on the
petition of Mrs. Catherine Smith, of East
'Macon, asking for the removal of the
street car tracks from the sidewalk to the
center of the street in East (Macon, but
the committee said they would give the
■matter their attention if any number of the
property owners on the street asked for
the removal of the tracks.
The sidewalks o>n Second street from
Poplar to Hazel were ordered laid next to
the curb except in cases ‘where a change
from this was found necessary by the city
engineer.
The sale of the property of delinquent
■tax payers who Tailed to redeem their
property within the time specified by law,
was ordered, and the city marshal was or
dered to .proceed with the advertising of
the property for sale tn the usual way.
The list is a long one, and a large amount
of property will be put on the market un
less the property owners see fit to take
advantage now of the opoprtunity that is
offered them to avoid the payment of fur
ther expenses attaching to the advertising
of the property for sale.
The petition of Mr. (Henry Horne for the
proper grade of the sidewalk on Poplar
street on the corner of Second, was grant
ed, and the grade will be supplied by the
engineer.
This ended the business before council,
which adjourned. The only member of
council absent from his seat was Aiderman
Winship, who is thought to have taken ad
vantage of the permission given by coun
cil at the- last meeting allowing any mem
bers of council or officials to go to the
war and guaranteeing their salaries while
they were gone in defense of their coun
try.

CARRIED OFF FOR TRIAL.
Negro Rapist Who Has Been Confined in the
Bibb County Jail.
John Weaver, a negro prisoner who has
been in the Bibb county jail some months
for safe keeping, was taken out and car
ried Ito Uipson county wher he will be tried.
'Weaver is charged for committing an
assault upon 'the person of Miss Gunn, the
daughter of 'a prominent citizen of Utpson
county, and at the ttime the alleged assault
took place it was a hard matter for the
authorities to prevent a mob from lynch
ng the negro. Sentiment is still high
against him. 'but it is betlieved that he will
be given a fair trial.
TO ENLIST MEN.
Floyd Rifles Will Send Out Two Sergeants to
Get Recruits.
. This afternoon Sergeant .Malcom Ayer
and F. S. Hill, of the Floyd Riifles, will go
to different parts of the state to get re
cruits for Ithe company, as the officers are
anxious to carry the full quota of men
from Macon.
Sergeant Ayer will go to Jackson and
Sergeant Hill will go to the southern por
tion of the sitate. The Rifles have enlisted
about forty men so far, but they are anx
ious to leave Macon with a full company,
and will get all the recruits thatt they can.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 4 1898.
BAZAR TO OPEN
JULHOIffI.
Pythians Will Open Their New
Hall With the Greatest
Fair Ever Seen Here.
’ CIRCUIAR TO MEMBERS.
Contributions Are Asked for from All
the Knights of Pythias in the
City and Elsewhere in State.
The Pythian Castle Fair will open in the
new castle hall on July 4th, and will con
tinue for a week.
The letter given below is from the offi
cers and directors of the Pythian Castle
building association, and outlines the
plans of the board for the fair.
This will probably be one of the biggest
■bazaars ever held in the city and it will
be made extremely attractive.
The Pythians of the city are enthusias
tic and the amount to supply
the deficiency will be easily made up.
The new building wilt be completed
some time in June, and the bazar will be
held on the third floor of the building
where the magnificent hall of the 'Pythians
will be situated.
This will be by far the finest hall of the
kind in the city and one of the finest in
the state. Following is the letter that has
been sent out:
Dear Sir and Brother: Our Pythian
Castle Hall is now nearing completion
and owing to the fact that a great many
of the members since making subscrip
tions to the stock tour or five years ago,
have died, moved from the city or their
cirteujmstances have so changed that they
could not mee't their obligations, we find
that in the final settlement we will be
from $2,500 to $3,500 short. The board of
directors, at a meeting, unanimously de
cided 'to open the castle hall on the 4th
Os July with a fair, thereby making it
profitable, as well as a gala occasion, and
to ask each member to eon tribute some
thing and solicit a subscription from their
friends or people with (whom 'they deal,
either in cash or merchandise, feeling as
sured that every member of the order will
be willing to do his share, and especially
those who were not able themselves to
subscribe to the capital stock. Every ar
ticle contributed wil lhave the name of
the contributor on it, therefore any of our
out-of-'town friends who might contribute
as an advertisement will not be disap
pointed, as there will be a great many who
will visit the fair and their goods will be
before all of them, besides being appre
ciated by the whole membership in Macon.
We hope we -will have' the earnest co
operation of every member of the order in
the city. Yours, in F. C. and 8.,

WITHOUT DELAY.
The Cheque for the Hospital
Mortgage Was Paid in
Yesterday.
A long threatening has come at last and
the mortgage on the (Hospital 'has been
paid off.
The cheque was signed yesterday after
noon and 'the (Hospital is now' free from
that incuimbrtance.
Too much credit cannot be given in 'this
connection to the finance committee of the
Hospital and especially to IMr. IS. R.
Jaques, who 'has worked hard and faith
fully to secure the release of 'the institu
tion from tihe debt in order that the (work
of bui'ldimg itlhe Gresham memorial might
commence at once.
This work will be no longer delayed and
Macon will soon have one of the most com
pact hospital buildings in the South. The
plans show a building about which there
is no waste ornamentation, but whic'h will
be a handsome structure. It 'will be very
complete inside, 'however, and Mr. W. F.
Denny, of Atlanta, who will do tihe work
of superintending ardhitect free of any
charge as his contribution to the /Hospital
will provide the directors with the speci
fications at once. The bids will then be
advertised for and as soon as this is
awarded the work will commence.
It is probable that the work will be well
under way inside of the next sixty days.
The woman’s auxiliary of the Hospital
will undenbake the interior 'furnishing of
tihe Hospital. They (have done much hard
work for itlhe 'institution and now that the
building is actually to commence they will
redouble their efforts and will leave no
stone unturned, for it is their announced
intention to make the interior fitting of the
Hospital second to none in the state.
Mr. Henry Horne <will undertake to get
up an addition 'bo the Hospital in the shape
of a colored 'ward or annex. This will cost
about $1,500, ibut with his usual ,public
spirit Mr. Horne says that he twill carry
out tihe iwork rapidly and that with the
help of the colored people of the city this
amount 'Will be easily raiesd. The colored
people of (Macon tare deeply interested in
the institution as they recognize that has
been to a very large number Os their race.

MACON ARMY
Busy Scenes Around All the
Military Homes of the
Fighting Comoanies.
ABOUT EQUIPMENTS.
The Hussars’ Armory Where the
Recruiting is Going on, is a
Busy Scene.
It looks like real army life in the differ
ent armories of Macon these days.
The ‘"hay foot, straw toot’.’ squad are at
work all the time and some of Che rawest
of the recruits are ibeing hammered into
shkupe ibut the sergeants and the lieuten
ants.
At all times of the day the new men are
at work and every night 'the full compa
nies of the enlisted men are drilling in
the ranks and they are doing some hard
work too.
At the recruiting office on Poplar street
Captain Bell is kept busy all the time en
listing the imein who eome in ito go to the
different companies.
Alii of the officers to serve are Ibusy out
on the streets enlisting men and urging
others to join.
A numlber have come in from a long dis
tance iflor the ipuppose and the work of se
curing desinalble men is not confined to
Macon as some of the non-commissioned
officers are out in dhe country and in
South Georgia hunting for likely recruits.
The three ,Maicon companies together
will Carry oult .something like two 'hundred
men and ifrom the looks of those w'ho are
in the ranks at present not many of those
who have (been enlisted so far iwill be re
jected at the imediiaa)! examination.
The taking away of (this numlber of men
with the forces to the front will leave only
the Macon Volunteers, .none of whom are
at all likely Ito go, as a home guard.
Os course the remnant of the companies
will be organized and will be added to so
as to make up as respectable a Showing as
possible.
The enlistment has 'been much heavier
than the officers thought that it would,
and now every company has as man’y as
fifty men down w'ho will leave iMacon with
Major Kernan’s battalion.
Every new man has been assigned a
locker and (provided with the proper ac
coutrements, which will ibe used until the
troops are ordered to the point of mobiliza
tion, where the regulation uniform and
improved equipment will be provided.
Every uiian will leave IMlacon with his
knapsack, haversack, canteen, Ibelt and
side arms, legging, gun, blanket, iponcho
and half of a tent. The companies will
leave iMacon in campaign uniform land in
heavy marching order. The extra weight
than is carried iby each soldier in heavy
marching order .is fifty-two pounds, but the
new guns that will Ibe supplied will be
about two pounds lighter than the Spring
field rifles that are in use now.
When the troops go to Chickamauga, or
where they will be mobilized and mus
tered in, they will be supplied with every
thing that will be needed during the cam
paign. Os course the equipment that they
already have will be made to go as far as
possible.
One of the shelter tents was pitched in
the armory yesterday so that the boys
could see how it is done. There is one tent
to every itwo men. Each one Carries hla'M
of the tent and four tent pins and end of
the poles. Captain IBell says that he will
provide an annex to the tents for the men
in the first four, as they are nearly twice
as long as the tents. The carpplanifes are
still enlisting men today, and it is expect
ed that every one of them will leave the
city with the full quota of men.
The company officers say that they do
not expect to have any men thrown out on
the physical examination that will be
made, unless they are absolutely unfit to
go to the front. In North Carolina men
are being examined at the rate of four
hundred a day, and at that rate the ex
amination could not be very severe.
Following are the’names of the com
pany officers of the First regiment, of
which the Macon companies are members:
