terday were but an overture to the far .
more imiKirtant ceremonies ot today upon
the occasion of th. long awaited enthron

on August 31.
The day beg in with a salute of 101 guns I

The centre was cleared and sides were

spired by the greatness of the occasion.
MIDDLEOF
ROAD POPS.
Another Radical Speech Made
to the Delegates bv Ig
natius Donnelly.
Cincinnati. Sept. 6.—The middle of the
road Populistic convention want into the
second day's session at an early hour to
day, when the temporary organization was
made permanent.
Ignatius Donnelly made another radical
speech, denouncing those who had co-oper
ated with the fusion movement and very
strongly advocating the reorganization of
the party not only tor an independent pres
idential ticket, but for independence and
Ideals for congress.
A letter was read from ex-Governor
Waite, of Colorado, in which he denounc
ed Senator Butler as a treacherous chair
man and a false leader, and advocated the
nomination of a straight Populist ticket
for president and other offices.
An elaborate address to the people of
the United States was adopted. It reaf
firms the previous platform of the Populists
and referring to the present situation says:
“The People's party vote of 1594 rose to
nearly two millions and everything indi
cated a speedy national triumph. In this
emergency the Democratic party saw that
tt had no recourse but to steal one of the
principles of the despised Populists. Sen
ator Butler, who is the chairman of our
national committee preached the disinte
gration and demoralization. Just as Ben
edict Arnold stipulated for the scattering
of Che American forces that the British
might che more readily overthrow the
young republic.
“Butler taught our forces that the first
duty of a soldier was to break ranks and
go over to the eoetny. All efforts to chain
Che boundless, subtlety of this cunning man
have been vain. Our chief battle is not
against the demonic ization of of metal for
the benefit of another, but against the
chaining of the world's progress to the
oar wheels of prehistoric superstition in
Che shape of both metals.
The whole world today is held in check
by a system of gold barter while enterprise
languishes. Industry suffers and cemeteri<.B
are populous wit hthe bodies of bankrupts
and suicides.
“We will end the trickery of the office
seekers by putting our national ticket in
the field at once. I have nothing but kind
words for the Republicans and Democrats
individually. Our hearts go out to the
wretched and oppressed of of the whole
world, while we demand that if either gold
or silver U to be used as money both shall
be used. M e insist that the currency best
currency this country ever was
full tender greenbacks of the civil war and
we look forward with hope to the day
when gold shall be relegated to the dis
eased teeth of the people.’’

COLONELS REQUESTER IT,
The Paymaster General Savs that
He Would Have Paid Them
Had It Not Been for This.'
Washington, Sept. 6. —Considerable com
plaint has reached the war department
from various parts of the country because
the volunteer troops In Cuba d'id not re
ceive their pay.
In most ins ances the pay of the volun
teers wax three months in arrears and the

Now that th, iroope have returned to
the United States, it develops that the men
were not paid because the colonels of the
regiments rquested the paymaster genral
to withhold the money due the troops until
they should return to the United States.
Paymaster General Stanton saye the gov
ernment had an efficient corps of paymas
ters and plenty of money in Cuba, and
could have paid the men promptly but for
the requests made by the officers com
manding the regiments.

TRAINS RUN THROUGH.
Repairs On the Central Road Have About
Been Completed.
The Central yesterday got its morning
train from Macon as far east as Rocky
Ford. The morning Train from Savannah
got as far out as Guyton, but did not reach
that place until 1 o’clock, being delayed
three hours at the twenty mile post at
Eden by a washout there. It was feared
that a break would occur at this point
from the washing of the waters of the
Ogeechee river. The train went back to
Savannah last night, taking three hours
for the run. It was reported that the water
see-med to be rising at the place where the
break had occurred in the morning and it
is probable that there will be further
trouble there.
Unless there is another break at Eden,
the road is now open from Savannah to
Oliver, and Rock Ford to Atlanta. Between
Oliver and Rocky Ford large forces of men
wdth all needed materials, have been
mustered to attack the breaks. If the
water gives the railroad men any show at
all it is believed a train can be run through
from Savannah to Atlanta today on a
slow schedule for the first one hundred
miles.
G. A. R. MEN
IN GREAT CROWDS
Cincinnati is Having a Great
Reunion of Veterans.
Cincinnati. Sept. 6. —The thirty-second
annual encampment of the G. A. R. is a
sucess as far as attendance is concerned,
even for these national events, which are
phenomenal for their crowds.
The opening day yesterday surpassed
the expectations, as well as on Sunday,
but before the twenty-one guns were fired
at sunrise today at Camp Sherman, the
depots were crowded with more arrivals.
The special trains arrived faster than they
' could be handled at the terminals in the
early hours and the rush continued so that
later the trains stopped at Camp Sherman
and other suburban points, where street
I ears and other transportation had been
provided.
The National Naval Association gave a
grand parade this morning. Tomorrow the
G. A. R. men will give their annual parade,
I and on Thursday the civic and industrial
i parade occurs.
After the parade today the naval vete
| pans were entertained on the steamboats.
The feature® of the day were the regi

which the old comrades got close together.

CAUGHT IN ICE FLOES,
The Vessels With Their Cargo Were
Valued at Nearly a Million
Dollars.
San Francisco, Sept. 6.—A special to the
Examiner from Seattle says that news of a
disaster to an arctic whaling fleet came in
the following letter from Captain 'Down
ing, of the Wolcott, to Austin Clalrborne,

ORDERS INVESTIGATION.
Death of Private Porrett Causes Some Sen
sational Rumors.
Washington Sept. 6. —Secretary Alger
sent the following order to Montauk today:
“Commanding General, Montauk, N. Y. —
The New York World, of about the 28th ul
timo published a statement of the death
of Private Hugh Parrett, of the Eighth
regulars, in which it Is charged that when
he begged of Dr. to take him to the
hospital, the doctor notified him that the
hospital was for sick men, and it was re
ported that Parrett died that night.
“This account is sent me by Represen
tative Grosvenor, of Ohio, who says there is
great Indignation in his community over
the case, and if it is as reported, there
should be. I wish an inquiry immediately
instituted to find out about the matter and
reported to me. I understand one, Ser
geant Rice, of same company of the regi
ment. is under arrest for having complain
ed of this matter.
“I have heard much of the neglect of the
men. much of which, no doubt, is fictitious,
but if there is any foundation for this
statement, or if there are any men ill of
the regulars in their tents that are not
provided for, I wish to know the reason,
why and at once, also the names of the of
ficers in command of the regiment and
the company in each case. R. A. Alger.

WILL BE GOOD.
Bankers Think that Thev Wiil
Have No Tronble Col
lecting This Fall.
The recent rains, which is said to have
damaged the crops to some extent, has
caused many of the merchants to grow un
easy about their collections.
The farmers coming would report that
their crops were ruined and that they
would not make half a crop, and then as
the price of cotton has a 'tendency to be
low, is a good cause for the merchants to
become uneasy, but the bankers say that
they are not at all scared.
The price of cotton has picked up some
what in the last few days and the farmers
now report that the crops are much bet
ter than they were a week ago. and they
say that they will make good crops yet.
Mr. J. W. Cabaniss, president of the Ex
change Bank, in speaking of the matter,
said:
“The collections will be very good this
year. We are not at all afraid of the far
mers not paying up. The reports that the
crops were all damaged have been some
what exaggerated. The farmers are always
good men to pay their debts and we think
that our collections will be as good this
year as ever.
Other bankers were of the same opinion
as Mr. Cabaniss. All of them seemed to
think that better times were coming.
The merchants are not as blue as tlr’y
were several days ago, but they still have
some doubts as to collections being good.
SMITH’S RESIGNATION?
Majority of Posts in the State Have Asked
for It.
The Georgia division of the Travelers'
Protective .Association is now in a fairway
to get rid of its president, Mr. E. E. Smith.
Augusta, Savannah and Atlanta have
passed resolutions recommending that his
resignation be asked for, and if not forth
coming that his place be declared vacant
on the ground that he is no longer a resi
dent of the state.
The local posts of the T. P. A. of Atlan
ta, held a joint meeting last Saturday nigh:
and passed a resolution in accord with the
above facts. The resolution was hanging
fire when a telephone message was re
ceived from Augusta stating the action
taken there, and aided much in getting the
drummers into line. There was some very
heatei discussions, but the meeting was
very amicable in comparison to what had
been expected, and the travelers say that
they are now ready to bury the hatchet and
live in peace under a new president.
There is little doubt that the board of
directors will ask for Mr. Smith's resig
nation. He will probably be given tweny
days in which to comply. If in that time
his resignation is not in hand a conven
tion of the state division will be called,
which will decide whether it will elect a
new president or authorize the position to
be filled by the fist eligible vice president,
which is Mr. J. E. Maddox, of Atlanta.

YELLOW FEVER
EMRAGING
The Situation in the South is
Not so Bad Despite the
Quarantine.
NEW ORLEANS CASE
Has Not Been Fully Diagnosed—
Quarantines AreZßeing Rapidly
Put On—No Spread.
Memphis, Sept. 6—The yellow fever sit
uation in the South is not discouraging.
In Mississippi today the fever is practical
ly still within the limits of the two origi
nal counties first infected.
The single case at Benoit traceable to
infection at Orwood has been thoroughly
Isolated and today’s dispatches indicate
that no spread is expected in that direc
tion.
The suspicious cases at Bear Creek,
Copiah county, had been pronounced a
yellow fever by experienced Inspectors.
Two suspicious cases seven miles in the
country from Meridian and one at Water
Valley yet remain to be authoritatively
heard from. All the spread there with the
exception of the three cases up to today
have been within a radius of ten miles in
Lafayette county.
Marshall county has one case east of
Waterford thoroughly isolated.
In other words there has not been, ac
cording to the opinion of the best physi
cians, such a spread and in so many dif
ferent places as would warrant the belief
that the infection is at all extensive from
the original source. Up to today there have
been twenty-nine cases at Orwood, five at
Taylor’s an done at Waterford.
ALABAMA QUARANTINE.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 6.—The state of
Alabama has put on the quarantine against
New' Orleans, but not against Jackson,
Miss.
CASE AT NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Sept. 6. —The Louisiana
board of health has not yet issued a report
on 'the suspicious case of fever which was
under investigation yesterday. At the of
fice of the board it is announced that the
case Is convalescent and therefore difficult
to diagnose.
THROUGH TRAVEL.
Chicago, Sept. 6.—The quarantine of
Memphis, Jackson, 'Mobile and other towns
■against New Orleans does not inerfere
with, through travel from points north of
the Tennessee line. None of the Illinois
Central trains are discon tined, hut the
local trains are running 'between New-
Orleans and the cities which quarantined
against it have been taken off.
NEW YORKERS
At Lexington on Verge of Outbreak—Want
to Be Mustered Out.
Lexington, Ky., Sept. fi.—There will be
trouble in the Twelfth. New York if Gov
ernor Black shall recommend to the sec
retary of war that it remain in the United
States service, as he is almost certain to
do. Private George Behrringer, 28, of
Company B, who 'was put in the guard
house because he circulated a petition ask
ing Governor Black to have the regiment
mustered out, is not an ordinary private.
He was private secretary to Senator
Lexow, of New York, who turned Tammany
upside down and attracted the atteniton of
the entire country. Having been a close
observer of the miserable volunteer sys
tem, he drew up the petition, and, making
duplicate copies, circulated it rapidly. Cap
tain Tilton, officer of the day, heard of it,
and put young Behrringer under arrest.
It is said that about ninety-five per cent
of the men signed the petition, and that its
promoter had arranged to deliver it to
Governor Black with a little speech.
When the mutterings against the impris
onment of Behrringer got too loud yester
day, it was decided by the officers to re
lease him and not to have him tried by
court martial. The tension in the Twelfth
is so high that a few more cases like this
will bring on an outbreak, and if Governor
Black, in his conference with Secretary
Alger shall decide to keep the Twelfth in
the service, he will likely set the match
to a mine.
REVISION OF
DREYFUS CASE
Is Now Assured, the News
papers Sav—-Saussier’s Re
fusal of Portfolio.
Paris, Sept. 6.—The Figaro says this
morning that General Saussier refused to
accept the war portfolio because he has
been conencted, as military governor at
Paris, with the Dreyfus case and he there
fore considered that he should leave to an
other the settlement of this matter.
The newspapers confirm the report of the
acceptance of the office by Zurlinden, the
military governor of Paris, was due to
Faure's insistance. Some of the papers
praise his acceptance of the office under
the existing difficulties of the situation,
by attacking Cavaigna, the late minister
of war, declaring that his action in re
signing was tactless and illogical.
The newspapers regard the revision of
the Dreyfus case as assured.
TEXAS CROP IS OFF.
Letter Received in the City Today
that Cotton is Off.
Mr. H. J. Lamar received a letter today
from a prominent farmer in Texas stating
that “the four million bale crop is all off.
Three weeks ago Texas promised the larg
est cotton crop in her history. Since then
drought in some parts, worms in some and
rains in others have done the crop im
mense damage so that in most parts of
Texas only a half crop of cotton is now
promised and our farmers are greatly dis
couraged.”

COUNTY BOARD
FIKES On"
State and County Taxes Will
Amount to a Dollar
and Fortv.
HOCKED TEN CENTS OFF.
Even as It Stands It Is the Highest
Rate that Has Been Paid In this
County for Years.
The county commissioners met this
morning and fixed the tax rate for Bibb
county.
The state and county’ tax rate for the
year will 'be $1.40 on the thousand.
This is 10 cents less than the commis
sioners expected to make it. It was only
after considerable discussion, however,
that some of the members of the board
who thought that the higher rate was nec
essary to meet the expenses of the county
would consent to the reduction from what
they thought was the wisest course.
This rate of $1.40 is the highest that the
county has paid since the court house was
built. That building put the taxes of the
county up to $1.52, but they have not been
anywhere near that figure since that time.
Th erate of fourteen will be barely
enough for the commissioners to squeeze
through on but they hope 'to be able to
keep the expenses down to he income.
Considering the outlook and the condi
tion of commerce and agriculture, the
commissioners thought it was the wisest
course they could pursue to save as much
as possible to the property owners.
The other matters before the board were
in the line of routine and nothing of an
important public nature was done.
SENT A NEGRO
AS PAYMASTER
And a Texan Declined to Take
His Pay at Negro’s
Hands.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 6 —Major R. R.
Wright, colored, of Savannah, acting pay
master, yesterday paid off the troops at
Camp John B. Gordon to date.
A sensational scene occurred while the
operation of paying off the men of com
pany G, Third Texas, was in progress.
When Corporal Giddings’ name w r as called
the corporal, a stalwart Texan, came for
ward, but instead of taking his money as
the others had done, gave the colored
major a round of curses.
“My father was commander of the de
partment of Texas in the civil war,” the
corporal exclaimed, “and I have too much
good Southern blood in my veins to take
my pay from a negro.”
The corporal refused to take his pay.
and this started a commotion in the camp
that came near resulting seriously to the
negro officer. The latter dispatched his
clerk, also a negro, to Colonel Burgwyn’s
headquarters, to ask that he be given a
body guard. This was furnished. To in
crease the excitement, a civilian, whose
name could not be learned, mounted’ a
barrel in the company street, and declaim
ed loudly against placing negro superiors
over white soldiers in the volunteer ser
vice. The civilian orator was marched out
of the camp lines by order of the colonel,
and Major Wright completed his task
under difficulties.
To escape anticipated violence, Wright
made his trips to and from the Island in
the steam launch Charley :D., which he
chartered. There is much Indignation
among the soldiers over the fact that a
negro was sent to pay them off. Under
orders received Saturday, company G,
Third Texas, Captain Lapowskl, broke
camp at St. Simon’s this afternoon and
left at midnight on a special train over
the Plant system for Spofford Junction,
Texas. The regiment will be mobilized at
Fort Clark, Texas. Major Taylor, of this
regiment, will remain at Camp Gordon for
several days.
FIRST REGIMENT.
Fixing Up a Bath House in Knoxville for Sa-
Jvannah Regiment.
Knoxville, Sept. 6.—Colonel Lawton and
his officers are proud of the appearance
and behavior of the men during evening
dress parade. Well they may be, for they
are certainly a fine lot of fellows and well
drilled. The band furnishes the music for
this ceremony and does well. When the
citizens of Knoxville realize what a splen
did sight the evening dress parade is they
will no doubt attend in large numbers.
Imediately following dress parade of the
First Georgia regiment the Thirty-first
Michigan will hold its dress parade, thus
giving visitors an opportunity of witness
ing both regiments in formation.
Work has commenced for the new bath
house at the camp of the First Georgia.
The bathhouse will be large and commo
dious. built on the same principle as the
one at Camp Bob Taylor. Water pipes will
run overhead and will furnish a shower
bath, the wather being forced out through
slits filed in the pipes. This makes® an ex
celent shower bath.
PYTHIANS AND
THEIR FAIR.
It Will Be Held in Macon
During the Carnival
Week,
The Knights of Pythias will give their
postponed fair at the Castle Hall commenc
ing October 10th and continuing for the
whole of the carnival week.
The committees are hard at work secur
ing the contributions and already a large
amount of good material has been given.
This will be one of the biggest fairs that
has ever been given in Macon and the as
sistance of all the Knights of Pythias in
the towns around Macon will be asked for
and given. The fair will be given in the
handsome hall of the castle on Mulberry
street and it will be the virtual opening
of this hall, which will be used during the
winter for some of the principal events.
The committees in charge of the under
taking say that they are receiving every
encouragement and that they have every
reason to think that as a result of this
fair the finances of the Pythian Castle As
sociation will be completely renovated.
MEETING TO 8E
: HELDJONIGHT
Exact Status of the Situation
that Called for Mr.
Horne’s Action.
NO ATTACK INTENDED
But Simply an Explanation of the
Situation and Effort to Get
Cheaper Paving.
The meeting of the property owners of
Macon called by Mr. Henry Horne at the
Academy of Music at 8:30 o'clock tonight
will be largely attended.
It is expected that Mr. Horne will go
into detail in connection with matters af
fecting the paving of the city of Macon.
Mr. Horne himself says that the public
should in na ttnst of the w’ord construe
this as a sensational attack on the city
administration.
He has undertaken to make an effort to
secure cheaper paving for the city of Ma
con. Whether he will be successful or not
is another question.
So far as asphalt is concerned he has
voluntarily offered to reduce the bld made
by the company which he represents,
bring it down from $2.18 a square yard to
$1.93 the square yard. He has evidences
that there has been collusion between the
brick and the rock paving people by which
the price of this class of paving has been
held up where it might have been done a
a cheaper price had there been no collu
sion.
Having offered to reduce the cost of as
phalt and having evidence that there has
been collusion between the companies do
ing the other paving and other parties
that might have done it he has asked that
the bids be re-opened and that the people
be given an opportunity to get the same
paving at a less cost.
Mayor Price says that while this stand
taken by Mr. Horne is all very well he has
no evidence of collusion except the state
ment of Mr. Horne. He advertised for
bids for paving and awarded the contracts
to the lowest bidder on rock and brick
He cannot now, he says, re-open the blds
without good, evidence that there is cause
for doing so. He has not decided to use
asphalt on any of the streets because he
does n towant to take the responsibility
of laying it at all in Macon, not being at
all convinced that it is as cheap or as good
a material as either rock or brick.
So far as Mr. Horne’s reduction of his
asphalt bid is concerned. Mr. Price nays
that he has merely unofficial notice of this
and that he cannot act on the proposition.
It is so far merely a difference of opin
ion as to the relative merit of asphalt and
th” other materials. If Mr. Horne at the
meeting tonight brings indisputable evi
dence of collusion between our rock and
the brick men, then a different aspect will
have been put upon the matter.
It is probable that at the meeting to
night several matters of interest to the
propery owners will 'be brought out, but
it is not for an Instant to be expected says
Mr. Horne that he is attempting to at
tack the administration or to show that
■there has been any collusion between the
city officials and other parties.
He feels, however, that he has not been
well treated by the mayor and council and
has been placed in the attitude of having
to make a heavy fight in order to gain his
point.
