PROUDFIT IS MADE REFEREE Judge Speer Appoints Him Linder the New Bank ruytev Law. AN IMPORTANT POSITION Other Referees Will be Appointed Later-Some of the Duties of the Office. According to the act passed by Congress establishing the office of referee under the bankruptcy bill, Judge Speer yester day appointed Mr. Alexander Proudfit as referee. The following is a copy of the order: In the District Court of the United (states for the Southern Distniot of Georgia. Ordered by the Court. That Alexander Proudfit, Esq., of said district be and he is hereby appointed a referee in bankruptcy conformably to the provisions of ■chapter 5 of <ihe act congress approved July Ist, ItsttS, entitled an act to establish a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States with all the powers duties, obligations and responsi bilities, confessed or required toy said statue. ordered further that the limits of the district ui said refree by this order ap pointed shall until further order of tne court include the counties of Pike. Upson, ( rawford, Houston, IBiibb, Monroe, Jones, Jasper, Putnam, .Hancock, Baldwin, Butts. In the staite of Georgia. July 18th, 1898. Emory Speer, Judge. The duties of a referee are very impor tant as they will have to examine all schedules of property and lists of creditors filed by bankrupts; to declare dividends; to furnish information concerning esitates in process of administration before them; to transmit all records to the clerks of courts and other duties which are too nu merous to menition. The pay of 'the referee is $lO for every ease which the referee has before him. Merchants are discussing the following phase of the new bankruptcy law: A debtor may be hrown into involuntary bankruptcy on the petition oif three of his creditors. This, in ease there are itwelive or more creditors. This shall be followed by a finding by the referee that the debtor is a bankrupt. In such proceedings the attorney for the petitioning creditors shall be allowed a reasonable fee out of the funds of the es tate. Attorneys discussing the law state that an assignment under 'the state law is a declaration that the assignor is unaible to pay his debts as they mature—not neces sarily a condition of insolvency. Hence, if it be disclosed that this assignor has not sufficient assets to pay his debts in full, the matter may be removed from the Insolvency Court to the Bankruptcy Court. It is presumed that the business of these courts will lie divided as follows: New Bankruptcy Court for insolvents. Insolvency Court for premises tempo rarily disabled. Bears the DOG WATCHES—LONG WATCHES. Explanation of Manner in Which Jack Tars Tell Time on Board Ship. It is easier to tell the time by ships bells than from a watch face. The day on ship board is divided into eight watches, the ship being guarded during each 24 hours by eight sets of men. Os course each sail or must serve for more than one watch, but this arbitrary division of time always holds good. Four of these eight watches are each four hours long, and the other two are two hours long. The shorter watches are called the dog watch atid the others the ■long watches. Beginning at noon or at midnight, the first watch is a long watch, lasting from 12 to 4 o’clock. Then come the two dog watches, from 4 to 6 and 6 to S o’clock. At 8 o’clock the second long watch begins, lasting till 12 and completing the 12 hours. The same order of watches is repeated dur ing the following 12 hours. Each of these watches is a separate di vision of time, or, as it were, a day in itself. One commences to count the time over again at the beginning of each watch. The time is divided into hours and half hours, there being no smaller divisions. Each of the long watches is. therefore, di vided up into eight divisions of time, marking the hours and half hours. The dog watches have but four divisions, marking the hours and half hours cover ing the two hours. Now when the watch begins, say at twelve o’clock, eight bells are rung; at 12:30 it is one bell, and at 1 o’clock two bells, and at 2 four bells, at 2:30 five bells, and so on until 4 o’clock is reached, when it is again eight bells. During the dog watches, of course, only from one to four bells are struck. When, however, the long watch of the day comes at 8 o’clock it is again eight bells, at 8:30 one bell, at 9 two bells, at 9:30 three bells and so on. This is again repeated during the next 12 hours. Tt is. of course, ne cessary for a person rtsed to the ordinary prosaic watch face to have some practice to be able to translate the number of bells quickly, but the trick, once learned, be comes easy and natural.

Incident at Chickamauga 1 old by an Officer of the Third. The Camp Price minstrels proved a, great success last night. About three hun dred people were in attendance and a nice sum was .taken in for 'Company A. Several of the best men were in the guard house last night and it was impos sible for the m to appear on the stage. The succcess of Lhe performance is greatly due to the efforts of Mr. Cuarles Roltaire, who has been hard at work for the past two weeks and he deserves a great deal of credit for his work. Mr. Roltaire will probably enlist with Company A, as he became very much at tached to the company and the men would all bate to see him leave. Camp Price is the most popular place in Macon at present and great crowds go to the park every afternoon to watch the drills. The 'hour fpr the regimental drill r.as been changed and is now from 5 to 6 o’clock p. m. This change is-very accept able to the men, as they will not suffer so much from heat. The drill every afternoon is watched by many hundreds of people. The bugle corys now have their buglee and are progressing rapidly under the in structio’n of Mr. Billingslea, who volun leered his services to Col. Ray to instruct the bugle corps. Many funny things happen at camp and countrymen who visit the camp are often made to furnish fun for the .regiment. Two soldiers were in the city yesterday and were passing in front of Isaacs res taurant. They spied a small pile of feathers which had been blown out from where a fine chicken (formed the piece de resistance of the dally menu. The t"o passed on, but one of them, who noticed the feathers, could not resist tihe tempta tion and turning back said: “Wait a moment, I want to get one ot those feathers to take down to the camp. “What for?" inquired the other. “Whv,” said the other, “I want to put it under my blanket to see bow it feels to sleep on feathers once more. And with that he placed the leather carefully and tenderly in his pocket and pased on in search of other adventures. Some bright things are said and done in camp and everybody seems to enjoy officers were talking yesterday and one of them who had just returned from Chickamauga said: “While at the camp a Chickamauga I heard that a negro officer had reprimanded one of the Georgia boys ■for not saluting him. It is said the Geor gian sized up the negro and looking him Straight in the eye said: “All coons look alike to me.” and calmly walked away. Colonel Ray is proud of his regiment of immunes and says that there is no- a finer body of men in the army. ALDERMEN WERE SCARCE So Council Was Constrained to Do But Little at Its Meeting. Only seven members were present at council meeting yesterday afternoon and no business could be transacted which re quired the payment or appropriation of money. The charter requires that eight members should be present in order that any money should be paid out. Aidermen Gibson, Winship, Goodwyn and Wilder were absent. The arnival assiciation asked the coun cil for an oppropriation of SI,OOO to help defray the expenses of the carnival. The matter was referred to the committee on finance. A large number of petitions were pre sented. but a very few were of any inter est. The board of health sent in a communi cation from Ida Davis, a negro woman who wanted $9 for clothing which she said was stolen from her house when she had small pox and was In the pest house. The com munication stated that the woman’s house had been left vacant and had been fu migated and that when the woman was in the pest house the- houses had been broken into and $9 worth of clothing stolen. The communication was referred to the finance committee. The finance committee reported that it had reconsidered its former action in not allowing pay for extra work during small pox epidemic and would now lace headed by three narrow rufifles, while a still narrower group as around the lower edge of the collar. A touch of character is given by bands of black velvet ribbon which cross the front diagonally, passing loosely over the folds of the blouse, and are ftmiished by ffluffy rosettes of the velvet graded in size, the lower one apparently attaching the narrow belt. Each bow has a tiny coral ornament in its center. The proper cut of this gown can be obtained only from the cut paper pattern published by Harper’s Bazar, where the gown ap pears. The hat, in the favorite turban style, is diaped with a puffy scarf Os striped gauze in cream and shad> d coral, which holds two jetted quills at one side. Quautli.y of material for gown: Grena dine, 46 inches wide, 5 yards: silk muslin, l’/2 yards; velvet ribbon, 2% yards, satin ribbon for skirt ruffles, three widths, 15 yards each. Ribbon for yoke and eolaretta 16 yards; ribbon for colar and sleeves, 7 yards; lace for collarette, 2 yards. recommend that extra money be paid. The report was adopted. The committee reported adversely the petition of J. A. Randall, which asked for a return of part of the money paid out by him for a bar room license. The amendment offered by the ordi nance committee to make the license for the sg]e of lubricating oils SSO was adopted. A communication was read from Mr. Arthur (Bradley of the Warren-Scharf As phalt Company which stated that though the Southern Asphalt Company had bid cents per yard cheaper than his com pany, his company should have the con tract on the ground that the Southern Company was unreliable. His communica tion stated that the affidavits made by the Southern Asphalt Company regarding the merits of its work were false and that he hail affidavits to prove that they were The communication also gave the names of a number of places where the South ern .Company had to repair their work in a year’s time. It was referred to the com mittee on finance. A motion was made and carried to al low Mr. Horne, representing the Southedh Asphalt Company to have a copy of the resolutions. The meeting was then adjourned. Mr. Horne stated after the meeting that he had been trying to keep the matter down for some time for the benefit of the city, but that the other company had taken ad vantage of him, ■He said that the other company would get enough before this matter was finished. Beats the Klondyke. Mr. A. G. Thomas, of Marysville, Texas, has found a more valuable discovery than has yet been made In the Klondyke. For years he suffered untold agony from con sumption, accompanied by hemorrhages; and was absolutely cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. He declares that gold is of lit tle value in comparison with this mar vellous ere—would have it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle. Asthma, Bron chitis and all throat and lung affections are positively cured by Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption. Trial bottles free at H. J. Damar & Sons’ Drug Store.

Many of those engaged in recruiting regiments believe that the strict physical examination required by the government for the first call for volunteers will bo made more flexible for the 75,000 men in cluded ip the second call. However, if the medical examination is rigidly enforced it will be well for officers to remember the experience of a sergeant of the Eighth regiment, mustered in at Mount Gretna With the line officers he took great pride in the company and ex pected it would be mustered in entire. Every man volunteered, but two were thrown out in the medical examination. One was two pounds under weight and the other was one iuch too short. ”If I had known beforehand,” said the sergeant, ’ I would have filled one man up with two pounds or beef and had the other man measured in the morning, because every man is taller in the morning than at night. ” —Philadelphia Record. A Startling Ilorsebark Feat. Berlin is wild over the marvelous feat of Fedora Vona, a woman circus rider, v, ho has performed repeatedly perhaps the must startling equestrian act ever seen. Her feat is Io compel her spirited horse to leap over a carriage containing four persons besides the driver. A a none of these people had warning of her reckless intention it is needless to say that they were badly shocked—not to say somewhat frightened—by the lady’s sudden ap proach, the swift swish of her whip, the gleaming eyes of her wildly excited steed and finally the rustle of her long riding habit over their heads. After the performance was over, how ever, and they found themselves none the worse for their experience they were rather inclined tn brag about it, and so the story got out.
