4 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 COTTON FUTURES.

Bear- the The Kind Y(IU Have Always Signature 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. SHAFED ~GEORGE. 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 Washington and there he picked up a wal 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 feet high. 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. “Smith.” Bears the You Have Always Bought Bi5 T” LONG CHASE 21 Ended in the Capture of an Italian Mur derer. New York, August 23 —'Pasquale Ca pelli, of Naples, gentleman, soldier, of fortune, stranded in New York and re duced to keeping a “joint” in “Little Italy,” slayer of his wife’s friend, is now a prisoner, after seven months of pursuit, charged with murder. Such is a brief out line of the checkered career of the “mys terious prisoner” brought to (Mulberry street Station Thursday night. The man he slew was Luigi Biancchi, on January 18, in this city. The prisoner does not deny killing him, but he says that what he did was in self-defense and that Bianc chi deserved his fate. Capelli was cap tured in Montreal. He was arrested for counterfeiting Canadian bank bills. In vestigation revealed his identity and he was turned over to the New York police to answer for the crime of murder.
