4 BIG BATTLES / WILL BE SEEN In Macon During the Time of the Holding of the Carnival. CONIRACT MADE WITH PAW Has Been Authorized and Will Be Signed Some Day Soon. Th< executive committee of the Macon f’arnivrd Association held an Important meeting yixtenlay afternoon. Among other things the committee authorized the making of a contract with Payne s flre works for three nights exhifliltlon during the Carnival. The fourth night will be filled up by the mystic feature and parade. The program outlined 'by the Payne peo ple Inclndos the battle of Santiago, the burning of Cervera’s fleet and the victory won by Dewey at Manila. An Immense lake will be formed at the park and on this lake part of the exhibi tion will take place. Altogether thi * will bi i strong attraction at the Carnival.

Atlanta, August 3. An order was receiv ed at Fort McPherson yesterday afternoon giving authority to the commander of the iwcf—cL H ip furnish free transportation to cs to all the sick and wounded col Ilers who an Well enough to leave tho hospital. The order came in the nature of a sur prise to the officers of the post, who have had to turn down all the convalescent sol diers who requested to be sent to their homes The men now in the hospital ar<» all far away from their companies and reg iments, and it is impossible to identify them on that account. The descriptive lists of each company in the army are kept it the hands of the captain wherever he is stationed, and at present the majority of 'the commands to which the wounded men belong are either in Santiago or farther away in Porto Hico. U inter the rule, rigidly enforced here <ofore. it was necessary first to obtain an authoritative description of the men in the hospital before granting them transporta tion lo their homes throughout the country, but now they will be given tickets where* ever they wish to go on their own worH that they are members of the army. This is the first time in the history of the linited States army that such an order has been issued, and there was urgent reason for the action being taken. The hospital and the buildings at the post have been utilized for tlie care of the sick and woun ded and have filled up during the past week, and with the hospital trains that are expected to arrive in Atlanta before the end of this week, it would be necessary txa use a large portion of the sleeplag quarters now occupied by the recruits for the care of the sick. Twenty of the men who have been dis missed from the care of the surgeons at the ■post will leave for their homes today un der the new order, and every day others will be sent off as they are declared to be well. The officers are satisfied that every man in the hospital is wiiat he claims to be, and no idea is entertained that the gox eminent will be imposed upon by fakers who claim to be veterans of the Beige of Santiago. A hospital train with 159 st k and woun ded soldiers arrived at Fort McPherson this morning at 11 o'clock and the inmates of the tram will be distributed among the hospitals at the post. 1 he train left I'ampa. Fla., Monday night under the charge of Major Richardson, of the hosppal corps, and contains a number of men who were in tit? fight at Santiago. The majority of the sold’ers are down with typhoid fever and will require the .most careful nursing and attention by theh sur geons of the post. From now on the hospital trains will ar rive from Tampa an J Key West almost daily, and the corps of nurses and surgeons at the ort will be kept ousy tending to the needs of the siek. As the natients are dismiss?! from the hospital and sent to thei” homes their places will he taken by the new* arrivals and w.aile the number ct recruits at the barracks are gradually diminishel the number of patients at the hospital will be increased. The plan now is to remove all the troops stationed at Forst McPherson and make the place a general hospital for the vete rans of the war. Sfe. X>Xl.

While a large number of petitions under teh voluntary bankruptcy act have been drawn up in the various 'lawyers’ offices in the city, only one has so far been filed. It is thought that the reason for this (hesi tation on the part of the applicants is a delicacy on the score of too much pub licity. The filing of the first applications, the names and the amounts being a matter of public record and the interest that at taches to the working of the act, has na turally have given the newspapers all over the country an opportunity to satisfy the public and the consequence has been that others have decided to wait until the CHERRY STREET MAY BE LAST Street to Be Paved for Some Time in Order to Clear Up the Streets FORAUGUST AND SEPTEMBER The Work May Be Held Up—The Street Should Not be Torn Up Until After Carnival. At a meeting of the city council last night a resolution was introduced by Ai derman Huthnance calling for a statement showing the total amount already spent on the paving done in Macon and provid ing that the contracts for the rest of the work, so far as the amount of money in hand allows, will be let at once. It is said upon good authority that the work of paving on the streets will stop as soon as ■Cherry street now in process of being paved has been completed. It may safely be set down that this is at present the intention of council and it is not prob able that the work will 'be resumed/until the winter months have opened up. The reason for this is that the author ities think that it would be wise to stop the drain upon the taxpayers for the pres ent and it is not wise to break up so much ground in the city during the months when sickness is usually most prevalent. How far this proposition twill meet with the approval of the board of aiderman can not ibe said but a prominent aiderman speaking of it said today that he thought this was the program at present and that it was favored 'by a majority of the mem bers. FORMAL RISING OF THE CARLISTS.

If th'e boat comes in on Friday, it will be the quickest trip ever made from Brunswick to Macon by a steamer. AT CAMP PRICE. Expecting Moving Orders at Any Time- Paymaster Coming. The soldiers at Camp Price are expect ing orders to move every hour and every body is in a state of uncertainty. The drills still continue, however, and the men improve at each drill. Guard mounting this morning was the best held at the camp since the regiment has been stationed here and it goes to show that the men improve at each drill. Orders were issued yesterday afternoon allowing the men to be out of camp until 11 o’clock and it is said that over 600 came into the city. There were 250 at Crump’s park by actual count. Colonel Ray is expecting the paymaster today or tomorrow to pay off the men for the month of July. Over $30,000 will be pard out at this payment. The officers say that the soldiers will receive their pay before they leave Macon and lots of it will be spent here. Many of the privates foolishly thing that the orders to ibe ready to move are only a bluff. They say that the officers do not wish to give them furloughs and that the orders are only fakes which will stop them from asking for passes to go home. Regimental drill and parade will be held this afternoon and if the men show up as well this afternoon as they did this morn ing at guard monting, the drill will be worth seeing. Twenty men were in the guard house this morning for being drunk and for in subordination. MISS EMMA TUCKER Will Talk on Epworth League Work at Mul berry Church. On tomorrow night at Mulberry Street church annex, Miss Emma Tucker, who is,,, first vice president of the Georgia State Epworth League, will make an address on League work.

At the same service there will be an election of officers for the League for the coming six months. RECONCILIATION Between the Families of the Vanderbilts Se nior and Jnnior. New York. August 3. —The dove of peace is getting a new coat of feathers. It is to be the richest she has worn in years, for she has an important contract on hand. She is about to settle on the Vanderbilt homestead and bring reconciliation be tween Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and the father fro n whom be has been estranged fc.- twe ye«»rs. Already the big mansion at Fifth r.venue and Fifty-seventh street is preparing for her reception, and incidentally for that of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., who is now on the ocean on the way home from Europe. Society is all agog over the report of the coming reconciliation. Society has been rent and sundered and broken into cliques, factions and leagues offensive and defensive by the quarrel. And a simple girl caused all the fuss— Miss Grace .Wilson, now Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr. Young Vanderbilt, when he was grad uated from Yale, was to aid his father in the handling of his immense fortune, but the boy went to Newport instead and there met Miss Wilson, the daughter of Richard T. Wilson and sister-in-law of Miss Caro line Astor. He promptly fell in love. In Feburaury. 1596, Miss Wilson an nounced the engagement. It was a ter rible blow to Cornelius Vanderbilt. He stormed and raged and argued with his son, but the young man was determined and the wedding took place. This caused the estrangement, which is about to be ended.

Yacht Keeps Her Civil Name. Because of historic associations of the name Dorothea tho government decided to make an exception in its usual practice of changing tho names of private yachts acquired for war service, and the Dorothea, lately purchased from -the Thomas Mo- Kean estate, will remain the Dorothea. In 1812 a clipjier ship of that name was purchased by Mr. Clapier and utilized in the China and West India trade. During the second war with Great Britain she was long overdue and had been given up as captured by the British when sne sailed into port with her valuable cargo intact. With the proceeds of this venture Mr. Clapier bought a largo tract of land in Germantown, erected a country house and for a weathervane on the big barn ho placed a model of the Dorothea under full sail. The property is now known as Fern Hill and was purchased by Henry Pratt McKean in 1842. It descended to Thomas McKean, who looked up the history of tho weathervane, and when his yacht was launched he named it Dorothea as a good omen. The government has decided to acquire what good luck may be contained in tho name, and she will fight as an aux iliary gunboat under the name of Dorothea. —Philadelphia Record. Hassler and Woodbury.
