Turner has sent in his resignation, which

MAY NOT BE SEATED.
Judiciary Convention May Refuse to Admit
Some Delegations.
'Complications are threatened in 'the state
convention which is to nominate the chief
justice and two associate justices.
The state executive committee at its
aneeting in Atlanta on 'March 17th, fixed
June 6th for the primary for governor and
other state house officers, and June 224
for the supreme court primary. Two pri
maries and two st'ate conventions were es
pecially ordered for the purpose of keep
ing the gubernatorial contest as much as
•possible out of politics. I't was thought
that by separating the primaries and con
ventions. this result would be attained.
A. few counties, however, have called
their supreme court primaries for June 6th,
and if they do not actually put the names
of the candidates for the bench on the
governor's ticket, they will hold the prima
ry election at the same time and place.
Now the question arises, will such a pri
mary be proper, and will 'the delegations
elected at said primaries be entitled to
seats in the July convention, which is to
nominate the supreme court judges?
A similar question arose recently in re
gard to holding the gubernatorial primary
on some day other than the one fixed by
'the state executive committee. Some of
the leading members of the party
then gave it as their opinion that dele
gates elected to the sta'te convention on
any other day than June 6th, would not
be entitled to seats. Some 'think that this
same rule would apply where counties act
on June 6th and elect delegates to rhe su
preme court convention. It looks now’ as
if the question will have to go before the
convention tobedeci'ded unless the counties
ca.ll another judicial primary and hold it
on June 23d as directed by the stars exec
utive committee.
The candidates for {be supreme court
cannot raise r* objee 'o.. tr the action of
counties which have alradey ordered the
primary for June 6th. for fear that it
would prejudice their interests in such
counties, but it is a matter which gives the
friends of the candidates no little con
cern.

GREAT MISTAKE
High London Authority Thinks
That He Has Bottled

HO EFFECT ON BLOCKADE.
Sampson Will Simply Watch the
Spanish Fleet While He Block
ades Other Cuban Ports,
London, May 21.—According to the best
expert opinion in London, if Admiral Cer
vera has gone to Santiago he has made a
fatal mistake.
Vice Admiral Phillip Howard, (retired,)
writes that he is convinced the Spanish
admiral is now unlikely to strike at all.
If he enters the South Cuban port he
will scarcely affect the United States
blockade, for Sampson will only have to
detach a superior force of his heavier ships
to cover the Ceveras fleet, while a group
of the lightest and swiftest vessels will
be watching to see that he did not move
and the rest of Smmpson fleet could devote
themselves to the blockade of other Cuban
ports.

KENDRICK WEDS.
Another Soldier Takes Him a Wife on the
Eve of Battle.
Giiffin, Ga., May 21 —Major William J.
Kendrick and Miss Mary Mell Neel were
joim 1 in the holy ‘bonds of wedlock here
yesterday afternoon and left immediately
for Fort Valley.
Major Kendrick is major of the Third
battalion of the Geconil Georgia regiment,
United States volunteers. Miss Mary Neel
•is a daughter of Professor Charles M. Neel,
who for a long number of years principal
of the Kirkwood High School, Atlanta, and
later of the Georgia Military Institute, but
more recently principal of the public
schools of Griffin.
The marriage of these two young people
is singularly romantic. On the eve of the
departure of Major Kendrick for the front
to fight for his country and the defense of
the flag, he is married to the one he has
loved and adored through the times of
peace, and in the face of the battle love
has triumphed.
Major Kendrick’s regiment will break
camp today, and start for Tampa. He will
leave his bride of but a day and join his
regiment in Macon as it passes through
there about 12 o'clock. The couple went to
Fort Valley to tell Major Ke.ndrdck's
mother goodby. The young wife will .bid
the husband adieu with tears and prayers,
that he may win the victories that he is
well able to, and may fight only the harder
for ihe fame of war that she may share
his achievements and take pleasure in his
victories.
The marriage was a surprise to nearly
all but lhe members of the family and the
contracting parties themselves. Major
Kendrick left the camp yesterday after
noon, presumably on a short visit to the
town of Giiffin. which is about a mile
from the camp.

LETTER FROM CIENFUEGOS

Key West., May 21. —A letter has reached
here from Cienfuegos giving a graphic ac
count of the excitement in that city hast
week when the encounter occurred between
the Spanish soldiers on shore and 'the ca
ble cutting expedition. The Cuban city
was panic stricken. The church bells were
rung and the 'alarms were sounded on all
sides. /At the Hotel (Siervo de Oro, there
was a riot and fight between Spanish vol
unteers, who refused 'to serve on patrol
duty for 'ihe defense of the city, and the
Spanish who were trying to force haem to
serve.
\\ hen the Marblehead began shooting
and knocking the light house to splinters,
men, women and children fled to the coun
trj’, many families leaving their houses
open and abandoned in 'the haste of their
flight. Since then m'any families fiavo
moved'to Santa Quinteria and Rodas, sma'l

ernment is unable to control the exodus.
EDUCATION IS
IMPROVING.
Commissioner Glenn Talks on
the Subject to The
News.
Most of the county school commissioners
have returned home though a number of
them have stopped over in Macon until
tonight for the purpose of 'becoming better
acquainted in iMacon.
Tae place for the holding cf the next
meeting has not yet been fixed. This is a
matter for the executive committee which
is appointed by the president who is al
ways the state school commissioner.
\ majority of the delegates to the con
vention seemed to think that it would be
wise for the convention to hold its next
meeting in Macon again in order that the
commissioners might have the opportunity
for further studying the system of educa
tion in this county in which all the dele
gates seemed to be vitally interested.
They say that for the first time they
have had an opportunity to see working
in Georgia a perfect system and one in
which the county the city stand on even
terms
It is thought that the holding of the
convention 4n Macon will have a most ben
eficial effect on the whole of the state as
the example set here twill make the repre
sentatives of the different counties in the
convention anxious to emulate Bibb.
State School Commissioner Glenn says
that there is no doubt that the Macon sys
tem of education in this county is by far
the best in the state,
"I know that it is a very common thing
for a county to say that it has the best
system of schools and so forth in the
same way that each place claims to have
the best of everything and such a spirit
is very commendable,” said the state com
missioner yesterday to a News reporter,
“but the fact of the matter is that Bibb
county has the best system in the state
and it is a grand example to the whole
state. .
"’But.” went on Commissioner Glenn,
“the whole state is improving so far as
education is concerned. In the last three
years there has been a wonderful improve
ment in the class of teachers, the number
of the pupils and the attendance in the
country districts. ‘Education is in a most
hopeful condition in Georgia.”

NO DIVISION -
OF THE DIOCESE
Delegates to the Episcopal
Convention Have Return
ed to the City.
Revs. F. F. ißeese, 11. O. Judd and W. T.
Darner and 'Messrs, Coleman, Gilenn, and
the other delegates to the Episcopal con
vention in Savannah, returned this morn
ing.
Whether the Episcopal Diocese of Geor
gia shall 'be divided into t'wo dioceses has
not been decided by the convention which
has just adjourned in Savannah.
The matter is in abeyance pending fur
ther consideration by the clergy and the
laity of the various parishes. Guided 'by
the light thrown upon the subject through
the elaborate report presented by the spe
cial committee, the subject will be finailly
■passed upon at the special season of the
convention called in time to take final ac
tion before the meeting rtf 'the general con
vention at Washington in October.
The report was voluminous and showed
that the committee had studied the ques
tion from every possible standpoint. From
their own experience of the time and the
thought necessary to gather the large mass
of 'facts and figures contained in their re
port, the members of the committee stated
that they would not insult the intelligence
of the convention by believing that its.
members were ready at this time to vote
intelligently upon so important a question
nor did they think 'the question had been
sufficiently agitated in the parishes of the
diocese, They accordingly submitted three
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted. hTese resolutions were as fol
lows:
That the report be received 'as informa
tion and printed in the journal, and also
that 1,000 copies of the report be immedi
ately printed and copies sent to every cler
gyman in the diocese, with the request
‘that they distribute them among the.r con
gregations.
That a committee of five be appointed
to carry into effect the previous resolu
tion; to ascertain from the vestries of the
several parishes whether they will accept
small assessments for the support of ‘the
'bishop, in view of the 'fact that under the
new constitution they are entitled to repre
sentation in the ‘convention, and 'to obtain
pledges for 'the fund for the permanent
support of the episcopate.
That, if the result obtained by this
committee are, in its judgment, sufficient
to -warrant further action, then, that the
bishop be authorized to Call a special ses
sion of the convention in October, to 'take
final action in the premises.
If the division is made the old diocese,
that is, the one in which Savannah will be
the episcopal city, will be known as the di
ocese of Georgia, if the committee’s re
commendation is followed, while the new
one will be known as the diocese of At
lanta.

MR. FRED MARSHALL
Who Leads the Singing at Grace Church
Revival.
Mr. Fred Marshall, of South Carolina,
the singing partner or co-worker with Mr.
Tom 'Leitch for the last twelve years in
his great evangelistic work, possesses in a
marked degree the qualities of a first-class
chorister, having for a number of years
before engaging in the great work with
Mr. Leitch, been the director of the music
in a leading (Episcopal church, where an
accurate knowledge of music was essen
tial. Mr. Marshall has a voice of wonder
ful compass, making very easily all the
notes in two octaves. He sings without
any apparent effort, and never seems *to
tire of singing. His singing is full of spirit
and he manages to transmit a great deal
of his enthusiasm, or holy zeal, to tho&e
whom he is leading in the singing. His
solo last night, “Sweet Peace the Gift of
God's Love,” was very effectively render
ed, and preaching was really begun before
the pracher took his text, for Mr. Marshall
sings the gospel. Mr. Leitch as usual,
preached a great sermon at Grace church
last night on the question “What Will
You do 'With Jesus?” and the impression
made on the interested congregation was
most profound, many kneeling at the altar
for the prayer. The wonderful meetings
at Grace church conducted by Messrs.
Leitch and Marshall are drawing to a
close: the last service will be held Sunday
night.

The train on which the damage was done
was carrying the First Musoiir. from

itary train was loading, just beyond the
crossing of the belt line about half a mile
from Rossville. It crashed into the regu

IL is said that there was no flagman on
the military train. The shock was very
severe. The locomotive of the regular
train jammed into a horse car and this
ear completely wrecked the baggage car,
which was the next one forward.
The man who was killed and also those
badly injured were all on the horse car.
Everything was done to stop the passen
ger train when the other was seen, but it
was going at 100 great a speed.
Engineer Wheeler stuck to his .post and
escaped with only a wounded ankle. He
and the fireman were at once arrested and
placed under a squad of soldiers. They
are gravely censured for running so rapid
ly with a special ahead of them.
All of the horses of the officers, valua
ble animals, were killed. The damage
would have been much greater had not
the train been made up exactly reverse
of the usual order.
The wounded, about twelve in all, were
taken in charge by the surgeon.
The officers of the battalion, 'Lieutenant
Colonel John Jacob Aster, of New York
as well as a number of other officers were
on the regular train but were not injured

Mr. George McGolrick and an escort of the
fellow students from Auburn composed of

were read by 'Rev. George W. Mathews j
and interment was in ‘Riverside cemetery.

had done away with most of the evidences
of the terrible blow that cost young Mc-
Golrick his life. The skull bad of course I
been terribly mashed by the full concus
sion with the post, ibut there was no sign
of tffis and the young man looked as if he
were sleeping.
Among the floral tributes which were
placed on the casket in (Atlanta yesterday
was a magnificent floral which 'was sent
by the fellow students of the deceased at
Auburn, Ala.

ICECREAM GARDENS
ON THE BOULEVARD
Marshal, the Druggist, Has
the Novelty of the
Season.
Now that Second street has been finish
ed off as the most perfect bicycle boulevard
in the state, and a long felt-want has been
filled,'Mr. T. B. Marshall, the Second street
druggist, has seized the epporuniiy—in tael
the man and the opportunity have met.
Attached to (Mr. Marshall’s handsome
drug store is an ice cream garden where
the bicycle riders can find the delightfully
cool, both in atmosphere and beverages.
Marshall's ice cream garden on 'the bi
cycle -boulevard is destined 'to be one of
the most popular places in the city this
summer. The enterprising proprietor has
prepared for his guests.
The store itself is -one of the hanff.omset
in tbc st'a'te. The heat and dust rtf the
Street is changed in a minute into a most
delightful sense of rest and cool. Mr.
(Marshall has one of the best mixologists
in the country behind the fountain coun
ter, and the bicylist or pedestrian can rest
and coc.l off better by the sound of falling
fountains, the rustle of the gentle breeze
among the vines and the scent of the- rose
and huneysuckle and the song of birds,
while the palate is tickled with the very
finest of mixed drinks or the most deli
cious of creams.
On 'Monday night next from C o’clock to
11 o’clock p. m., the garden will be open
and a string band will add to the pleas
ure of the entertainment.
The gardens which will be open from
6 ’to 11 o’clock every ni'gbt are decidedly
the novelty of the season and arc :( fined
to be the most popular resort in Mc- eti.

London, (May 21.—*A dispatch from Mad
rid to the Evening News says the Spanish
ministers declare that nothing is officially
known of die result of t'he negotiations
which have been going on with the Cuban
insurgents in order to induce them to make
common cause with the Spaniards against
the Americans, though some of the min.

Continuing the dfsipatch from Madrid
says that it is hinted that negotiations
between Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador at Faris, to which much im
portance is attached, are going on with
Cuban representatives at the French capi

It is maintained that the submission of
the insurgents, to 'Blanco would remove
