SENSATION IN SUPREME LODGE Present Supreme Officers are Severely Criticised bv Some Members. CHARGES GIVEN TO PAPERS. Offender Will Be Expelled from the Supreme Lodge, and from the Order—Called to Order. Indianapolis, August 23. —The supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias began its bi ennial session in the hall of the house of representatives this morning. The supreme officers were escorted from the headquarters at the Denison to the state house by the supreme representatives and a special guard of honor from the uni form rank. The rooms were beautifully decorated in the national colors and emblems of tae or der. Caleb S. Delny, ex-mayor of Indianapo lis, Ohairman of the citizens’ executive committee, called the meeting to order, and Mayor Taggart welcomed the lodge on behalf of Indianapolis. Governor Mount welcomed the lodge and Grand Chancellor Hunt made an address of welcome. Supreme Chancellor Colgrove replied for the supreme lodge. At 11 o'clock the supreme lodge settled down to business after the galler.es bad been cleared. The supreme lodge is in poor condition, having less than SIO,OOO on (hand, and this caused some of the members to severely criticise the present supreme officers, the charges being printed. The lodge late this afternoon appointed an investigating committee to ascertain who furnished the charges to the papers, and it is their intention to expel the of fending members, not only from tne su preme lodge, but from the order and then take libel suits against the papers. It is the intention to have passed at the orderbeginning of each supreme lodge of the meeting an appropriation bill similar to the bills passed by congress and state leg islatures and to raise this money by a tax levied on each member of the order. There is considerable opposition to this plan and a hot fight is anticipated. Officers of the supreme lodge will be elected Thursday. A hard fight is being made against the present incumbent, but it is thought they will be re-elected. VERY FEEBLE Both Mentally and Physically Is Pope Leo. Rome, Aug. 23 —The pope remains much the same, his feebleness incapacitating him for all work. That Cardinal Ram polla. the papal secretary of state is prac tically acting pontiff, has caused much comment in Vatican circles. There is no precedent for the present situation. Never before has the head of the church, through great age or other wise. become mentally unable to perform his important duties. It is anticipated that Leo XIII. may live for some time. The election of a coadjutor to administer the office is being discussed. CORBETT’S GRIEF IS REDUCING His Flesh and the Club Man ager’s Are in a Hope less Fix. axvi Hix' Xjjoav— SlS' IsnSny ‘d-toA mom the flesh off a man quicker than a dozen bottles of antifat. Between the hour that he received the message telling of the tragedy that had darkened the old home in California and the time he reached Chicago, Jim Corbett lost ten pounds. It takes time to recover from a nervous shock, and to push Corbett into the ring at Cheektowaga or any other place, while memories of that scene of slaughter are indelibly printed before him, would sim ply be to send him to disaster. In his present mood he would be no fit antagonist for a cool ring general like Norman Selby. Os course, the Hawthorne Club is anx ious to get out of the hole. Promoters of Class a fistic battles have their troubles. Since New Orleans put up the bars on the fighters, not a championship mill has been pulled off without great legal complica tions. The Duval Athletic Club, at Jack sonville. did finally get the Corbett-Mitch ell affair off on time, but not until Gov ernor Mitchell had called out the Florida militia and created enough opposition to prevent an influx of tourists. Since that time the loophole in the law through which the fighters crawled into the ring on the St. John's has been drawn taut, and the Everglades State would give the frozen mitt to all Sons of Biff.

Joe Wheeler Comments on the Difference in the Range of the Guns. New York. August 23 —Gen. Wheeler, comparing the conditions of the civil war to those of the Spanish-American, said: "During the civil war we fought at short range, and there was tremendous noise and smoke. In this war the range of fire was SOO yards or more, and there was very little noise, and the use of the smokeless powder disposed of the smoke of battle. I saw probabi}' the first American struck in the fight. He was near me. and I went to him just as he had fallen, and could see no mark where he had been hit. yet he was in the last agony of death, and died almost instantly. I heard no noise; I had seen nothing, and could not even see a wound on him. and yet he was dying. We undid his belt, and there was just a small hole where the ball had gone through his body. The range of fire is so great with modern guns the distance seemed to make little difference in the matter of danger. There is no such a thing as seeking safety In the rear .When we got to within 500 yards’ range practi cally the whole army was exposed to the fire, those in the rear being in danger as well as those forward.” THE MACON NE WS. CANDLER'S MEN STAY _IN_ RANKS, Secretary of War Has Prom ised That They Can See Some Service. FIBST WANT TO GET 00T And Is Working Hard to That End—A Petition Signed By 900 Sent to President. Washington, August 23 —The secretary of war has given his promise that the Third Georgia regiment shall not be among those first mustered out. He did that this morning in response to the request of Colonel Livingston, who came on to Washington in the interest of the boys of the Third. The congressman from the Fifth district went to the war department bright and early this morning and at once enlisted in his cause Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, with whom he served several years in the house and who is his personal friend. The assistant secretary took the matter up at once. Colonel Livingston told him of the excellent personnel of the regiment and of the great desire of officers and men for service. They were willing, he said, to go anywhere; their only desire was to see service. Colonel Meiklejohn at once laid the mat ter before the secretary. The matter was discussed with General Alger for a ftw minutes, and when he was in possession of all the facts, he told Colonel Living ston that he might telegraph Colonel Candler that his regiment would be re tained ’n the service. Where it will go is not as yet known. Colonel Livingston has put in a strong bid for the regiment to be assigned to Manila. The impression is strong that a good many more additional troops will have to be sent to Manila before peace and quiet is restored there. This is the impression at both the war and navy departments, and plans are being made accordingly. In view of this there may be a good chance for the Thiyd going out there. It was stated at the war department this morning that the First and Second Alabama regiments are to be mustered out. The Third Alabama, a negro regi ment, is to be retained. FIFTEEN AT ONCE. Thousands Gather to See the Cererrony on Lake Michigan. Chicago, August 23 —Two thousand Chicago mail carriers will go to 'Milwau kee, Chicago’s (Gretna. Green, tomorrow primarily on an excursion, but incident ally and in reality to witness the marriage of fifteen of their brother carriers. The knots will be tied on the Whaleback. The fifteen couples will be married “in a bunch,”' a squad of ministers having been provided for the occasion. rougFrideT IS WANTED. Charged With Murder Com mitted in Kansas Citv— Police Looking for Him. Jersey City. N. J., August 23—Private M. Seville, of Troop I, First volunteer cavalry, Rough Riders, escaped from the camp at Montauk Point last night, Seville is a name assumed (by James Redmond, alias Coleman, an alleged crim inal, and the murderer of Miss Schumcker in Kansas City on December 8 last. He and a man named Kennedy killed the wo mu while in the act of robbing her. Ken nedy was captured and is now in the hands of the Kansas City authorities. Redmond, of Seville, escaped, and no trace of him was found. He was recognized in a pecu liar manner. While the members of Troop I, of the Rough Riders, were in Jersey City Frank Trestrall, a barber, went to see them at the Fourth regiment armory. He was startled to recognize one of the Rough Riders as James Redmond, whom he knew in Kansas City. He also knew he was wanted in the city for mufder. He notified the police, and Detective Mc- Nally was put on the case. He tried to arrest the man here, but the officer of the troop would not give him up. The Rough Riders went to Montauk Point. (McNally followed, saw Colonel Roosevelt and laid the case before him. The colonel said he could not arrest Se ville, but that he would turn him over to the police as soon as the proper warrant and requisition papers arrived from Kan sas City. In the meantime he would have the murderer watched. Colonel Roosevelt was notified that an officer had left Kansas City with requisi tion papers on Wednesday. This morning Acting Chief Lange was astonished to re ceive the following telegram: “Look out for Seville. He escaped last night. (Sig.) S. A. MeGuiness, Captain.” Inspector Lange has had the police of all cities within 100 miles of New York noti fied. and furnished a description of the escaped murderer. TO WEST INDIES Some of the Sporting Fraternity Now Think of Emigrating. It is reported that some members of Sa vannah’s sporting fraternity will wander to Cuba and Porto Rieo as soon as affairs are sufficiently straightened out in those islands to make emigration worth an ex periment. One or two of them are slated for Ha vana. while others think San Juan a more likely place and may take a steamer in that direction as soon as the time is pro pitious. They look for a boom in business affairs in those points, and think that the sporting line will probably pay well. Oth ers say that Porto Rico is already stocked with those who handle the paste boards, while others are of the opinion that there will be good openings in both places. These, however, are not the only peo ple who will emigrate to these new Amer ican countries—American, for they will both be rapidly Americanized. A number of young men. with and without small cap ital. and with good business minds, are talking of making the experiment, believ ing that there will be plenty of room for those with energy and push to build up trade. The chances are that there will be a sort of flocking to Cuba and Porto Rico from many points of the country. The movement, however, will hardly take place until affairs in both islands are somewhat more settled. • * i -- X- a—. __ MACON NEWS TUESDAY AUGUST 23 1898. TRYING TO MAKE A MAN INSANE Case of Abner Tavlor Will Go to the Jury Tomorrow Morning. EVIDENCE IS 111 IN, General Opinion Seems to Be that He Will Be Found Guilty With out Recommendation. The trial of Abner Taylor, the wife mur derer, is progressing slowly and so far noth ing sensational has developed. At the af ternoon session of the court yesterday twelve witnesses were examined, but a majority of them testified to the same thing. The case is closed so far as evidence is concerned. This morning was given up to to a com bination of the evidence for the defense which confined itself exclusively to the effort to prove Taylor’s Insanity. Evidence in rebutal was introduced this morning and was very strong. People who had known Taylor all his life including Dr. Redding, who was his family physician say that they never saw anything to lead them to believe that he was insane. The state closed at 12:30 and this after noon will be given up to the speeches of counsel for both sides. Taylor, the man on trial, sat motionless throughout tlhe proceedings and only once did he show any sign of emotion and that was when Colonel Armstrong was giving his testimony. AFTERNOON SESSION. The first witness called yesterday after noon was Mrs. Taylor, the mother of the defendant. She testified to the effect that her son was of unsound mind and. that when he was very young he had been troubled with spasms and that he still con tinued to have them until a few months ago. She stated that she thought that Ab ner was of unsound mind. She said that one of her sons was in the asylum and had been there for years, and that several of Abner’s cousins had gone crazy, and that it was her opinion that Abner was also crazy. At this stage of the testimony Mrs. Taylor broke down and it was some time before she could be quieted so that she could, proceed with the testimony. She stated that the relations between Abner and his wife had always been very pleasant as far as she knew, and she recalled the time when the dead woman was ill how faith fully Abner waited on her. She said that the whole cause of the trouble was that Mr. and Mrs. Logue persuaded the dead woman to leave Abner and that she thought that 'this caused her son to com mit the deed. Mrs. Sarah Johnson was the next wit ness called. She testified that she was at the house of Abner Taylor when his wife was sick and that she had never before seen a more affectionate couple. She told of how kind Taylor was to his wife and said that during her whole stay there she did not hear a cross word pass between them. Other witnesses testified to the same ef fect. 'Charles Nelson, the brother-in-law of the defendant stated that he had lived in the house with Taylor and his wife for three months, and that he had never seen a more loving couple. He said that the only time he had ever heard them quar rel was when Mrs. Taylor wanted to go to her father’s. He said that Abner did not want her to go, and that whenever she spoke of going he would beg her not to go. He said that Taylor would always act foolish as soon as his wife left him. He said that he thought that Mr. and Mrs. 'Logue Taylor’s wife to leave him and that they were the cause of the whole affair. He said that Taylor had al ways been somewhat foolish and that the actions of his wife made him almost craiy, and that he was fully ;o wncn he commit ted ithe deed. A. J. Johnson was called to the stand, but he did not seem to know anything about the case and he was allowed to come down. The most interesting testimony and the best which has yet been introduced for Taylor was given by Colonel Armstrong, of the Warrior district. Colonel Arm strong owns the farm on which Taylor worked and was well acquainted with him. He said that Taylor was crazy. That he was sure of it for he had never seen a sane man act as Taylor had done. He said that Taylor seemed to be greatly wor ried for about two weeks before the kill ing and that he would talk of nothing else except his family. He would often try to change the subject of their conversation, but Taylor would talk of nothing else ex cept his family. On the afternoon before the killing he said that Taylor told him that he was in great trouble and that he was going to kill himself or some one else. Mr. Armstrong advised Taylor to do noth ing rash, and that if his wife refused to live with him to get a divorce, that this was the best way to get rid of her, and that it would be very little trouble. He said that Taylor was so nervous that he could not do anything and that his actions were like those of a crazy man. He said that he was not surprised when he heard of the killing. He was asked if he ever say Taylor show any signs of being crazy and he replied that he had. That Taylor would set up all night and sing and that he would walk with his head down and would notice no one; that he would act foolish when in the field at work. He testified that on several occasions that be had seen Taylor skip the grassy portion of his crop and would work in the places where he had worked before. He had thought Taylor to be crazy for some time, but that he was sure of it now. He had never seen Mrs. Taylor but once, and that she and Ab seemd to be on the best of terms at that time. Taylor would be in good spirits when his wife was at home, but he was far from being sane. Taylor would begin to wander as soon as his wife left. He was of the impression that Mr. and Mrs. Logue had caused Abner to com mit the crime by keeping his wife away from him. Several other witnesses testified to the same effect as Colonel Armstrong, and all of them were of the opinion that Taylor was of unsound mind. The defense brought out some strong points yesterday afternoon and many are of the opinion that the man will be committed to the asylum. CLASPED HANDS And Then Two Laughing Girls Jumped to Death.

The police were no tified and began at once to search for the thief, but so far no clue has been found.

LEAP ran LIFE Made By Some of the Young Women Employed in the Bottling Department COVERED BY INSURANCE. Loss Will Not Be Large—Caused From a Barrel of Varnish that Exploded in the Cellar. Fire broke out at noon today in the wholesale department of Lamar & Sons drug store on Cherry street. The fire originated in the cellar of the building as the result of an explosion, of a barrel of varnish. The flames spread with tremendous rap idity and in a few moments the -whole building was enveloped in a thick, heavy smoke. The smoke rolled in great volumes from the roofs. The clerks and store employes had barely time to escape without injury to themselves. Within half an hour the whole building from cellar to roof was a burning mass. Tongues of flame sprang from every point and licked the walls. The fire department was unable to do anything at the front of the building ow ing to the fact that the hydrants on the street had been shut off since the paving work began. The consequence was that the front part was the first to go. The flames hungrily licked the whole outside wall facing on Cherry street and devoured everything within reach. Nothing was saved. The inflamable na ture of the stock lent itself to the general destruction and the work of the depart ment in the narrow alley in the rear was minimized. Intense excitement was caused by the announcement that a negro was suffocated in the cellar. He was saved, however, by hard work of one of the negro employes of the store. The negro had been engaged in drawing the varnish from the barrel. The lamp which he carried is said to have contained benzine which exploded and spread to the varnish. So great was the spread of the fire and smoke that four young women who were working in the bottling department up stairs were obliged to jump from the sec ond story on to the shed roof just below and in this way probably saved their lives. The fire department worked hard to save the adjoining building. The Wood-Peavy Company on the one side and Clem Phil lips on the other. In fact it was freely prophesized that the whole block would be destroyed. The Wood-Peavy Company stock is con siderably damaged by water, smoke and the intense heat that naturally opertes to crek the varnjsh and warp the furniture, thus making the loss considerable, which, however, is fully covered by insurance. The Phillips stock is also damaged to a certain extent by smoke. Mr. Phillips also has ample insurance. The fire department is receiving well deserved congratulations on their work. The fact that the fire was confined to the one building is evidence of their splendid efforts. After the hydrants on Cherry street were connected, however, the work of the de partment was made more easy and the other buildings were saved. Messrs. H. J. Lamar & Sons will save nothing except some boxes contained in the building fronting on Second street and which connects with the Cherry street building. The value of the stock is estimated at $90,000 with $85,000 of insurance. The building carries SIO,OOO of insur ance. In all the loss will be about $15,000. The insurance is about equally divided among the insurance firms of the city. Following is the insurance so far as it coul be secured by The News this even ing: With Cabaniss, Callaway & Cabaniss: Home of New York, $6,500. Fireman’s Fund, $5,750.
