OFFICERS TORE
THELIST UP.
Thev Want to Stavin the Ser
vice, But the Soldiers
Generally, Do Not.
11l SIGHED PETITIONS
Asking that They Be Allowed to
Muster Out- But the Officers
Destroyed the Lists.
Now that hostilities are at an end the
boys in the First Georgia regiment want
to get out of the service very much and
are doing all they can to this end. A let
ter from a private in the regiment to a
friend gives some interesting news about
th< methods employed by the soldiers to
get back home and out of the service.
"Thank God, we are having a little ex
citement up here now, as the enlisted men
ar.' anxious to get mustered out —while the
officers, that is the majority of them,
want to stay, and some of them, so I un
derstand, went to far as to tell Governor
Atkinson, when he was up here Wednesday
at the review that the men did not want
to be mustered out of service, but wanted
to remain and do garrison duty.
"When the men got wind of that several
companies, with the exception of their of
ficers, got up a petition to send to Senator
tßacon, and in one company every man
signed it. The commissioned officers got
hold of it and tore it up, but I do not think
that will stop the circulation of the news,
as everyone has written home to their peo
ple and I suppose, told them exactly how it
was. You can readily see that it is a good
thing for a majority of the commissioned
officers, for they have the best jobs they
have ever had in their lives and it will be
a darned outrage if they try to keep us In
the army for two years. If they show any
desire to be mustered out there is no doubt
that we will be out of this within thirty
days; but, if, on the other hand, they tell
the war department that the men In the
regiment I want, to say I can see our finish.
You ea ntell everyone nt home that every
one in this regiment, with the exception of
some of the commissioned officers, who are
anxious to keep their good jobs, is anxious
to get out of the thing. If there was any
dteanoe of going into battle the men would
be more than anxious to stay, but when
there is no such prospect why they want
to got back, as they sacrificed everything
to come and fight, with the idea that when
the war was over they would be mustered
out and that is what they fully expect
ONE CAUGHT—ONE ESCAPED,
And the Still is Destroyed— Henry Jackson
is Brought in.
Deputy Marshal Thomas returned this
morning from Vienna, where he had been
on a raid. He brought back Henry Jack
son, a negro who had been running an Illi
cit distillery near Vienna. The still was
a small one but it had been doing a flour
ishing business and kept the country sup
plied for miles around.
Henry and his father had been running
the still but it was impossible to capture
the father as he jumped on a mule and
fled. The officers will make another at
tempt to capture him, however, and this
time they hope to be successful.
WOULD BEAT THE
RACES IN CHICAGO.
Men Under Arrest Charged
With Laving Plans to Tap
Telegraph Wires.
Chicago, August 23—A plot to tap the
telegraph wires between Chicago and New
York in order to get results of horse races
tn advance of the pool rooms was nipped
in the bud yesterday by Detectives Toosley
and Elliott, of the Central station.
Josejxh Moffet, said by the police to be
an expert wire worker, is now under ar
rest. charged with laying the plans and
of purchasing instruments with which to
carry out the scheme. The arrest of Mof
fet was made possible by the complaint of
C. J. Bussey, a resident of New Orleans,
who alleges that the prisoner defrauded
him out of |3,000. According to his state
ment to the police he was Induced to come
to Chicago by Moffet and put up sufficient
money to execute the project.
LEE’S RACE
For Virginia Senatorship Promises Complete
Success.
Richmond. Va.. August 23—The promi
nence which bls connection with the
(Spanish-American war has given him will
do much towards aiding General Fitzhugh
Gee in his candidacy United States
senate, which he has just announced. He
was beaten by Tom Martin, his Democrat
ic opponent, four years ago. Upon bis re
turn here last fall from Cuba, on a vaca
tion. General Lee declared that he was a
candidate for the senatorship. Should he
be made the governor of Cuba or Porto
Rico, as the impression now is, it might
remove him from the race for senator.
The contest does not come off until next
year, but the initial work will no doubt
be done in the congressional campaign of
this fall.
THIRD WILL
HAVE TO GO.
It Seems As If There Was
No Chance to Escape
Mustering Out.
Washington, Aug. 19.—The war depart
ment has not completed its arrangements
for the mustering out of the volunteers
and will give no information in advance of
formal orders. Much pressure is being
brought to bear in favor of the retention
in service of different commands, and in
order to prevent any interference with the
department plans neither the secretary nor
Adjutant General Corbin nor Major John
son, in whose special charge the matter is,
will give any information whatever.
It is practiealy certain that the regi
ments recruited and recruiting under the
second call for volunteers will be those
first mustered out. That is the present
plan of the department. These are, as a
rule, the people who are especially anxi
ous to remain in the service in the hope
that they will have something to show for
their patriotism. To be mustered out be
fore they are really mustered in is a
prospect they do not at all enjoy.
The Third Georgia is one of the regi
ments that is anxious to stay in the ser
vice. Senator Clay telegraphed the de
partment today in their interest and will
do all in his power to have them retained.
The chances are against it

of
FIRST GEORGIA
Has Sent a Monster Petition to the Presi
dent Asking Release.
Chattanooga, Ga.. August 23—That the
privates of the First Georgia are anxious
to be mustered out is vouched for by Pri
vte Leland C. Spiers, company F, who
says:
“Since the cessation of hostilities be
tween this government and the kingdom
of Sparin a report has been current
throughout the country that the great ma
jority of the volunteer* were desirous of
remaining as garrison soldiers for the pe
riods for which they enlisted. I believe
this report to be false so far as this regi
ment is concerned. Nine out of every ten
of the men who compose the strength of
the First Georgia are anxiously awaiting
the first opportunity to express their ar
dent and unequivocal desire to return to
their homes and to resume their former
vocations in life.”
The privates of the regiment have sign
ed the following letter, which they have
sent to the president:
Camp Thomas, August 20, 1898 —Presi-
dent William McKinley, Washington, D.
C.; Nine hundred volunteers of the First
Georgia regiment respectfully request that
you muster out the First Georgia regi
ment. We feel that we have done our duty
by being ready to defend America’s honor
and that it is our duty now to our fami
lies, homes and business. Many of us
have wives and children that need our
protection and support. We expect noth
ing from our officers, but have all confi
dence in America showing that our ser
vices have been appreciated and you will
not hesitate to discharge us at once.
Believing the above truths will have a
satisfactory effect and we will be mustered
out without delay, respectfully,
Committee First Ga, Vol. Inf’y.
WILL CONSIDER
LIGHT AND WATER.
Committee Appointed By the
Chamber of Commerce
Will Meet Today.
RATES ARE MUCH TOO HIGH,
This is the Opiniou of Everyone
And Will Be the Report of
The Committee.
The first meeting of the committee ap
pointed some time ago, by the Board of
Trade to Investigate the gas, water, and
electric power rates in the city will be
held at the Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon.
The purpose of the committee is to fully
investigate the water, gas and electric
power rates of the city and to meet a
committee from the city council and one
from the Macon Gas Light and Water
Company to endeavor to equalize the rate.
The rates for gas, water and electric
power in Macon are a great deal higher
thn in the neighboring cities and the com
mittee appointed will endeavor to get
rates on parity with other places.
Many people are kept from locating here
on account of the high water rates. The
taxes of Macon are very low and it is the
second healthiest city in the United States.
This is a great inducement for people to
move to Macon but many hold back on ac
count of the high rates for water and
light.
The committee will elect a chairman at
the meeting this afternoon and will pro
ceed at once. The committee will prob
ably hold a joint session with the other
committees this week and it is probable
that the matter will be arranged satisfac
torily at an early date.

No Doubt About This Kentucky Walnut-
Tree Tale.
Albany, Ky., August 22 —W. O. P. Mc-
Whohrter, of Cartwright, Ky., attended the
Philadelphia Exhibition in 1876 and on bls
way home visited the grave of General

nut that had fallen from the tree that
cast its shade over the tomb. Arriving at
his home in this county he planted the
nut, which has now grown into a tree fifty

PHOTOGRAPH
IN HER EYES.
Photographer Makes a Par
tially Sucessful Attempt to
Discover a Murderer.
New York, August 20 —The mystery sur
rounding the murder of beautiful Emeline
C. Reynolds, the 20-year-old girl, in the
Grand Hotel, some time Tuesday night,
has not been cleared.
Taking his cue from a murder investi
gation in Jamestown, N. Y., several years
ago, Ernest Chauvennias, of this city, has
tried to find the picture of her murderer
in the eyes of (Miss Reynolds. The investi
gation of the retinae of the dead girl’ eyes
did not take place until twenty-four hours
after her- body was found in the Grand
Hotel bedroom. Dr. Chauvennais says:
“Her eyes were open when the death
blow was given and focused upon, the
murderer, who, bending over her, dealt
the bludgeon blow that killed. Even
twenty- four hours after her death the
silhouette of the door of her room, toward
which she was facing as the death blow
came, was partly discernible to the scien
tific eye.
"The local conditions were such as to
preserve the picture of the murderer for
at least eight or ten hours. The dimly
lighted room, the position of the head and
eyes, shaded from the gas light and day
light, all were favorable conditions. The
eyes of the dead woman were strong and
in good health, tending to give even a bet
ter photograph.
“Near the foot of the bed the shadow
of a dark object, in general outlines the
figure of a man, was discernible, and the
slightly lighted shadow of the upper por
tion of the body established the fact that
he was in his shirt, without coat or waist
coat.at the time of the crime. The details
of face and figure, however, had been
blanched out. An earlier' investigation
might have given a complete picture.”
MILES’ WIFE
Severely Criticises Military Medical Authori
ties.
Washington. August 23—Mrs. Nelson A.
Miles, wife of the commanding general of
the army, who has been personally en
gaged in work for the relief of the sick
and wounded in several camps, has made
some plain statments in regard to the ad
ministration of the medical department.
Mrs. Miles has been at Chickamauga, Nor
folk and Fort Myer, Va., and -had good
opportunities to observe the work of the
military medical authorities. She has,
since her return, spoken in rather specific
terms of the disinclination among the
higher officers of the medical corps to
recognize the efforts which are being made
by the Red Cross society and by private
persons and organizations for the relief of
the sick soldiers in eamps and hospitals.
At Ft. Myer she found that a large store
of delicacies, plainly intended for the sick
soldiers there had been lying for some
time undisturbed and unopened. Mrs.
Miles appealed to the proper authorities
to distribute the delicacies, and, failing in
this, she took the chances of incurring
official displeasure and herself opened the
the packages contributed by charitable
persons and distributed them among the
sick.
BIG ARMY
Is Not Essential Says Senator From
Kentucky.
missioners can reach a conclusion unless
the Spanish commissioners shall concede
all the Americans demand. Spain is pow
erless to resist, and no European power
has shown a disposition to intervene in her
behalf. The leading commercial nations
seem to believe that Spain cannot restore
order or preserve peace in the Philippine
Islands.
“American sentiment regarding the re
tention of what we have won by our arms
is growing as time progresses. It is prob
able that when Oct. 1 shall have been
reached, and the Spanish-American com
missioners meet in Paris, the administra
tion wiM have been convinced that to keep
the Philippines will be popular, and our
commissioners will be instructed to de
mand their surrender.
“It is probable that some years will
elapse before we can recall our troops
from Porto Rico and Cuba, and a perman
ent army of occupation for the Philippines
consisting of 30,000 or 40,000 men, may be
recognized as one of the necessary conse
quences of the war. A great navy and a
large standing army, probably 100,000
men. we may expect to maintain.
“The days of our isolation are over. We
are now to have a foreign as well as a
domestic policy. The out look is one of
hope rauier ;Laa despondency. The dif
ficulties before us should not be under es
timated, and the gravity of the situation
should be realized to its fullest extent”
MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23 189 b.
AT ECHECONNEE,
Attendance is Good and Everyone is Hav*
ing Enjoyable Time.
Rev. Dr. Branch opened the meeting at
Echeconnee Saturday night with an able
and eloquent sermon, which was highly
enjoyed by the large number of tent
holders and visitors from the surrounding
country.
On Sunday morning prayer services
were held at all of the cottage tents at
sunrise and were both interesting and
beautiful to all participants.
At 9 o’clock the Rev. Mr. Matthews, of
First Street church, entertained the large
congregation with quite an instructive
sermon under the spacious pavilion which
delighted his hearers.
At 1 o clock the Rev. John Domingos oc
cupied the sacred desk for one hour and
twenty-five minutes.
The reverend gentleman selected for his
text the forty-sixth verse of the twenty
fifth chapter of Matthew from which he
delivered an able and entertaining sermon,
filled to repletion with powerful appeals to
the minds and hearts of the immense mul
titude of people composing his appreciative
audience.
This able divine handled his subject in
such a manner as to make it manifest to
his hearers that he was 'thoroughly con
versant with the Scriptures as well as hav
ing mastered his intricate subject, the
former of which may be said are filled to
overflowing with metaphors or figures of
speech. These he handled on the analyti
cal system, making it so plain that he that
runs may read.
At 3 o’clock Rev. T. D. Ellis, pastor of
Centenery church, preached a noble as well
as ennobling sermon, which was highly en
joyed by the vast concourse of people who
sat, stood, or reclined under the sound of
his stentorian voice.
At night the Rev. J. D. Harmon, of
Hawkinsville, preached quite a feeling
sermon, which was also interesting and
entertaining fully up to the standard of
good old camp meeting sermons.
The crowd in attendance on Sunday was
variously estimated from four to six thou
sand —a great many more than attended
last year, probably in conseqqence of the
Indian Spring camp meeting being in ses
sion at the same time last year that Eche
connee camp meeting was.
Good order was conspicuous throughout
the grounds. In fact, it was almost perfect
as to good behaviour, notwithstanding the
immense crowd on the grounds.
The officer in charge, Mr. Warren Mose
ley, stated to The News correspondent that
the behavior was better on Sunday last
than it had been any Sunday during the
meetings he has attended at this place as
officer of the grounds.
The meeting will continue until tomor
row night, at which time the last ser
mon will be preached and the parting hand
given while singing sweet-bye-and-bye,
and closing with that good old song,
“Home, sweet home.”
At 8:45 o’clock yesterday morning the
somewhat doleful, though familiar and
welcome sound of the trumpet echoed and
re-echoed over hills and dales, which sum
moned the encampment, calling the people
together at the 'tabernacle for the purpose
of engaging in devotional exceroises inci
dent to the 9 o’clock services.
Immediately after a few sacred songs by
the very efficient choir, the Rev. G. W.
Matthews ascended to the sacred desk, read
a lesson from the Scriptures and offered a
fervent prayer for the congregation and for
strength and guidance for himself during
the service. He proceeded to read the 4th
chapter of Peter, from which he founded
his discourse.
The Rev. J. W. Domingos preached the
11 o’clock sermon, in which he certainly
made a most powerful effort, couching hi*
sermon into simple though strong words.
