MRS, DILLON ON
STAND TODAY.
She Gave Testimony Without
Anv Apparent Confusion
Through the Case.
IS FULL OF SENSATION.
Ofthe Most Unpleasant Kind—Wit
nesses Testify That He Beat
Her Often.
The superior court was engaged today
on the sensational divorce ease of Dillon
vs. Dillon. (Mrs. Annie Dillon, who sues
for a divorce on the grounds of her hus
band’s cruel treatment. The defendant,
George iDillon, fights plaintiff’s petition
for divorce and denies that he ever treat
ed her cruelly, and further admits that he
was never married to her, but had simply
lived with her some time. She came to
Macon from Towa. He left her about eight
years ago, and five years since married
again. He also attacks the character of
'plaintiff. There are sensational features
in the ease. Mrs. Dillon was principal
against the negro Lewis, who was hanged
several years ago for the murder of his
wife.
When the case was continued this morn
ing iMrs. Dillon was the first witness on
the stand and made an interesting feautre
of thee ase.
She said that she had been married to
'Mr. Dillon at a railroad station of a small
town in lowa, where she had been working
I in a boarding house. ,Mr. Dillon had come
I to the house to stay and had paid her
considerable attention. She was at that
time only a child, she said, and when he
proposed marriage to her she said that she
was 100 young to marry, but finally on
pressure, consented.
Dillon propsed to her that they be mar
ried at the railroad station and she con
sented. He met her at the station with
three men, and one of the men performed
the ceremony and used a Bible She then
went on with IMr. Dillon to Chicago, where
he gave her a certificate of her marriage.
The certificate was produced in court.
The certificate was, however, badly torn,
and when asked how it came to be in that
condition Mrs. Dillon said that her hus
band had torn it in a fit of anger and had
thrown it in the fire Rlace, from which she
had rescued it.
She admitted that Dillon had treated
her well for seven or eight years, but af
ter that time he had become cruel to her
and had abused her, beating and kicking
her a great many times.
The cross examination or Mrs. Dillon,
conducted by Mr. Minter Wimberly, was
somewhat severe, and was full of inu’endos
of some things that might have been.
Mrs. Dillon, however, preserved a com
plete command of herself and of her tem
per, though at times she came very near
to losing the latter.
Mr. W imberly was not at all sparing in
his elYorts to confuse the _ witness, but he
failed to shake her testimony.
A large number of negroes were intro
duced. Most of them were negroes who
had beer, employed on IMr. Dillon’s farm.
Those for the defense were on th« stand
this morning and said that Dillon had
abused his wife very badly and had kicked
and beaten her. They said that lie had
never n their hearing denied that she was
his wife.
The ease will probably go to the jury
this afternoon.
It is full of sensation from beginning to
end. and none of the sensation is of a
healthy kind. In fact it is about as un
pleasantly sensational a divorce suit as
has been filed in this court.
The witnesses for Mr. Dillon’s side of
the matter do not give 'Mrs. Dillon a very
savory reputation, and as some of them
are wnneses of the best reputation them
selves. the impression on the jury can but
be unfavorable to her side of the case.

short headache or temporary indigestion.

RATIONS ARE
VERY SCANT.
This Great and Good Government
Seems to Think Our Boys Are
Not Supplied With Appetites.
Word comes from the camp at Griffin
that the question of rations for the sol
diers there is 'becoming a serious one, and
ithe complaints that were at first approved
by assurances that the food would be more
plentiful in a few days, will not be silenced
now , and the men are making complaints
that the government is not feeding them
enough.
Some of the enterprising citizens of
Griffin have heard the complaint and are
sending boys out with ready cooked food
j ifor sale, and everything in the way of food
is purchased 'by the men. The complaint
is not so much of the quality as the quan
tity.
The following figures will show how
much food is furnished to the companies of
100 men, and other companies proportion
ately—rations for three meals:
j Bacon, 18i£ pounds; beef, 62>4 pounds.
I which is half bone and muscle; 100 pounds
bread; 15 pounds bread; 8 pounds coffee;
I 3 quarts vinegar; beaus. 7U pounds; rice,
I 5 pounds; soad, 4 pounds; pepper, 3 ounce;
j salt, 3 pounds; candles, 1 pound; potatoes,
I 72 pounds; tomatoes, 15 pounds.
This is one hundred men’s rations for
three meals, and could easily ‘be eaten at
one meal.

SOLDIERS ARE
STILL POURING IN
Concert Given bv the Six
teenth Regiment Band on
Fourth Street.
MIH ROADS ARE ROSY.
The Rush Will Continue Until Next
Monday Unless it is Previous
ly Countermanded.
The town or that ■section of the town
around the two depots is now accustomed
to the sight of regular soldiers that they
are practically ignored by those who live
in the vicinity. There are hundreds and
thousands of people who go down to see
the defenders of the country on their way
to the front.
This morning the Sixteenth infantry
with headquarters in Idaho, came W on
the Central road and the officers took
breakfast at the Brown House while the
regimental band played on Fourth street
opposite the hotel.
The regiment came in on four sections
of a train and during the morning two
other sections came in.
Tonight six more trains will be through
Macon on the Central.
The Southern is hauling them just as
fast as the engines and the cars can be
placed at Chickamauga, and all day today
and tonight, tomorrow and Monday the
soldiers will be passing.
It is almost impossible to say when the
different trains will come in, the officials
themselves do not know or if they do they
will not say.
Superintendent Epperson, of the Cen
tral, has given instructions to his whole
office force to answer no questions with
regard to the movement of the soldiers,
and the anxious inquirer is met with the
stony answer “I don’t know.”
The first train over the Southern, yith
seventeen cars loaded with equipments,
arrived yesterday morning. No. 2 arrived
shortly afterward and brought seventeen
coaches and sleepers, with 256 men. ,No.
3 had eighteen cars and 221 men. Consid
ering the weight of the trains, fast time
was made and the officers, in charge of. the
troops last night expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the railway ser
vice.
This modern method of army moving
will continue today, tomorrow ami Monday
with unabated energy. INO troops will be
transferred 'Sunday. Eight more trains
will leave 'Chickamauga via the Southern
railway some time today and will pass
through Macon tonight, carrying hundreds
of soldiers.
The. Southern will" send eight more load
ed trains South tomorrow and Monday the
same program will be repeated. The rail
roads are exercising every possible effort
to send the troops South with all possible
haste and the whole contingent at Chick
amauga will be in Tampa in the next few
days.
This means work and plenty of it for the
engineers, conductors and firemen, extra
forces of whom have had to be put at work
on the Central, and 'Southern. No sooner
is an engine at one end of the line than it
is hurried back to the starting point again
after another load. The main line of the
Central was kept alive all day yesterday
with engines going to Chickamauga.

THE VOLUNTEER.
The New Proprietor Says It Will Be a Novel
Establishment.
Mr. W. L. Massman, the new purchaser
cf the Volunteer Case on Second ’street,
says that he intends to run a first class
soda parlor, and will give the people of
'Macon an up-to-date place, where they
can get their soda water and ice cream in
comfort in the summer time..
He is now preparing the case for oc
cupancy, and will be open in a few days.
This is probably one of the prettiest
places of its kind in the state, and is a
long felt want in Macon.
During the summer, features will be ad
ded to the place, and it will be made as
attractive as possible, and on a par with
anything of the kind in the southern
States.
APPOINTED COLLECTOR
Negro Doctor Gets the Plum From Collector
Rucker.
Dr. Calvin McCarthy, a negro doctor,
has been appointed deputy collector for
this district in place of Mr. T. J. Ray, the
Democratic occupant of the office.
McCarthy has been a candidate for the
place for some time, and the appointment
was made some days ago by Collector
Rucker, of Atlanfa.
The position of stamp clerk in this office,
has been held- for a long time by Miss
Brunner, and will now of necessity have
to be vacated.
It is more than probable that Jps Mc-
Clendon, a well known one legged negro
and a politician of considerable standing
among the Republicans of this county,
will get the place vacated by Miss Brun
ner.
This means that the office has been
turned over completely to the Republi
cans,
