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.

Lamar & Sons, Druggists. MACON NEWS FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 13 1898. 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. Notes Taken On the Run. John Durham, of Houston county, was bound over in the sum of SIOO by Commis sioner Erwin yesterday for illicit distilling. The paving of Poplar street has commenc ed and will be completed in the next two weeks.

A- 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. Ths fas- Jiaiie / ■- is «a ' z'-t Z/-.7J -■'hY 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, WESLEYAN COMMENCEMENT ; Program Has Been Prepared and Exercises Will Be Brilliant.
