Fight Between the Two Fac

this Morning.
FIRED DEADLY VOLLEY
Into the Opponents Who Were Try
ing to Take the Opera House
Away from Them.
Colorado Springs, Col.. Sept 7 —The po
litical war between the two factions of tho
•liver Republican party resulted this
morning in the death of Chart's Harris,
of Denver.
It. was tho result of the attempt by the
broad faction to capture the opereQ house
which was guarded by tho Sprague fac
tion. At 4 o'clock a rush was made by
fifteen or twenty Uroad men from both tho
front and rear building and the Sprague
men, who hold possession lu repelling the
attack fired a volley Into tho assailants.
Harris fell with a bullet through his ab
douian and is past medical aid.
The shooting occurred Just outside the
opera house door. Several arrests were
made. The man who fired the shot is un
doubtedly In custody, but his name can
not be ascertained.
The tragedy t, suited from the action of
National Chairman Towne in removing
Richard B road from the chairmanship of
the state committee on the ground of "dis
loyalty to the silver Republican party and
the cause It stands for" and it being al
leged that he had Joined In a conspiracy
with tho friends of Wolcott to defeat the
proposed fusion with the Democrats and
Populists.
Charles S. Sprague, representing the
Teller and Towne delegates has obtained
possession of the opera house in which the
convention is to meet tomorrow and has
refustsl to surrender it at the demand of
•x-Chairman Broad. Sprague is editor of
flhe Colorado Springs Evening Telegraph.
The opera house Is now in the posses
sion of the police, the deputy sheriffs and
the adherents of ex-Chairnian Broad. -No
one was allowed to approach the doors.
The sliding doors which form the en
trance to the auditorium, show the effects
of tho shooting. The right hand door of
the room is perforated with bullets from
the Winchester and the balls also lodged
In the left door, both were flred from tho
Inside the room and atxiut as high as a
man's head from the floor.
At 1 o’clock this morning the Walcott-
Broad faction applied to Judge Lun-t for
a writ of mandamus compelling Chairman
IMood. who was appointed by National
Chairman Towne to succeed Broad to turn
the building over to ex-Chatrman Broad.
The writ was refused.
"At 4:10 this morning,” said ex-Mayor
Plumb, "we wore Inside the opera house.
There were twenty-two of us. (Suddenly a
fusllado of shots was flred through both
the front and side dors, then in a second
che doors were hurst open and In rushed
seventy-five to a hundred men.
"There was a constant firing from all
parts of the hall, we replying as best we
tould.
"I saw one man fall, shot through tho
lungs They carried him to the balcony
and laid him down. He died in a * few
minutes,
"Another man was injured. We were
forced out of the building. Sheriff Boynton
and Chief of Tollee Gath right were -in
the front ranks of the attacking party The
police and sheriff's officers claim that the
attack was made entirely by men brought
from Denver. They sav they only rushed
In after the attack began, a peculiar fact,
however, they were all on hand.”
Chairman Blood has Issued a statement
In which he says ex-Chalrman Broad, I.
N. Stevens and DeWitt C. Webber ar
ranged w ith a gang of thugs to come from
Denver and co-operate with Sheriff Boyn
ton and the police of Colorado Springs in
wising the convention hall and turning It
over to another faction so that they may
organize and control the convention to
morrow.

MUCH DAMAGE
DONE BY RAIN.
Cellars on Popiar St. Flooded
- Cars Stopped Run
ning.
The rain which fell in the city this
morning was the hardest that has fallen
hero this year. The .lownpour commenced
a't 11 o'clock and lasted for an hour. The
cars had to stop running on account of
the tracks being covered with sand, and
the sowers were unable to carry off the
water.
Poplar street was entirely flooded and
the Rowers on that street were entirely too
small to carry off the great quantity of wa
ter which poured into them. Every cellar
on the street was flooded and many of the
merchants had goods ruined.
The merchants are complaining because
the sewers are Inadequate. It was impos
sible for people ‘to pass at the corner of
Poplar and Fourth streets. The streets re
sembled rivers. Many of the sidewalks
were several feet deep in water os they are
too low and the water could not run off.
The rain did great damage, and unless nhe
sewers are made larger the same damage
will be done at each heavy rainfall.
GOV. MOUNT BETTER.

BAGGAGE MASTER
CHERRY HURT.
He Was Crushed Between
Cars at the Union Depot
this Morning.
Mr. E. I). Cherry, the well known bag
gage master of the Union depot, was seri
ously and very painfully injured this
morning. He was crushed between the
ears of the train due to leave in a few
minutes for Atlanta.
Mr. Cherry was standing between two
ears that had not been coupled up and
were some distance apart. The engine had
backed down to make a coupling and miss
ing it the car rolled down to the rear part
of the track. Mr. Cherry, with another
His friends in the city were much con
the track and was unable to get out before
ho received warning of the approach of the
car.
He was caught between the ears. Fortu
nately the bumpers missed him. but had
ho been three inches further back he would
inevitably have been crushed to death.
The cars caught him about the chest and
arms and pinioned him. but he was quick
ly extricated and was placed in a hack and
sent to his home. Dr. Williams, the road's
physician, was called in and after an ex
amination, he said that the injuries were
serious but not dangerous and that no
bones were broken.
It will be some time, however, before
Mr. Cherry is able to use his arms and he
will be confined to the house for several
days at least.
Hisfriends In the city were much con
cerned when they heard of the accident
and it will be good news to them to know
that Mr. Cherry is not dangerously hurt.
Y. M. C. A. WILL BUILD.
Improvements on Present Building Are Only
Temporary.
The Y. M C. A. will erect a new build
ing in the near future. This- is what Sec
retaray Smith said this morning. He says
the people have an idea that because the
association is fixing up the present quart
ers they are not going to build.
“The improvements we are now making
are only temporary,” he said, “and we in
tend to build as soon as possible. We do
not wish to have an inconvenient place,
however, and we are fixing up the present
building until we can get our new one. We
are at present putting in bath rooms and
are arranging the gymnasium. I cannot
say when we will commence work on the
next building, but it will be sometime soon.
We are getting ready for the fall work
and especially to enroll new members."
The association will have nice quarters
when the present building is finished and
they expect to remain there until they get
the new building finished. The rooms are
being put in nice shape and the ladies are
mntaiog ns much assistance as possible,

rived here.
The other warships have reached this

STATE COMMITTEE MEETS.
Camp aign Committe Takes Some Important
Matters.
Atlanta, Sept. 7.—The state Democratic
executive and campaign committees meet
today at the Kimball House.
Chairman dußignou says that the pur
pose of the meeting is to confer about 'the
general situation in the state and to ar
range for prosecuting the campaign with
Increased vigor. The -Democrats have -not
the slightest doubt about the election of
the state ticket by an immense majority,
but It is desired to take advantage of the
demoralization existing among the Popu
lists -and to discourage them from putting
out any more state tickets.
One matter which will come before the
meeting will be the request of the Populist
chairman, Mr. Carter, for a division of the
election managers. Mr. Carter suggested
that in militia districts which went Demo
cratic two years ago, -the Democrats be
given two managers and the Populists one,
and in the Populist districts that two man
agers be appointed from the (Populists and
one from -the Democrats. It is probable
that tho matter of dividing the -managers
between the -parties will be left to the ex
ecutive committees of -the different coun
ties. - •
BARBECUE AND
NEW BRIDGE
Were the Chief Matters Dis
cussed at Meeting of
Council.
The Macon Cycle Club petitioned the city
fathers at their meeting last night for
permission to erect a judges stand and for
the entire use of the race track during the
carnival. The matter was referred to the
publio property committee.
The next thing to come up was on invi
tation from Mr. H. Horne, asking that the
mayor and council attend -the meeting at
the Academy of Mpsic in a body. The in
vitation was accepted without a dissenting
vote.
At this Juncture the mayor said he had
a few words to say to the body and he
gave forth the following:
In the matter of a new brld<ge across the
Ocmulgee river on Fifth street, I wish to
say that the old bridge has been tempo
rarily repaired and has been pronounced
safe for at least another year. You will
remember 'that in my message to (the coun
cil on the first of Jauary I said, “From
Information in hand I am convinced that
the old bridge -across the river at Fifth
street has lived out its years of usefulness
and by all means should be replaced with
a new and more modern structure." This
improvement has been down on my callen
dar for a long time, but not until now has
the way been clear to accomplish my ob
ject without Incurring a debt. I believe
now’ that a new bridge can be built to take
the place of the old one before the end of
the year, out of the savings of the other
departments, and I promise my offorts in
that direction.”
"I had hoped o make good my promises
then long before this, but as you know, the
smallpox came along unexpectedly, -and
this, with other things, has prevented it
up to this time; but in spite of this I am
anxious to build a new bridge and would
begin now if it was not the opinion of
some of the citizens of East Macon with
whom I have talked, as well as business
men on this side of -the river, that now
would be an inopportune time for -the
work, this being the busy season. How
ever, I want to say that the bridge will
be built soon, and as It is now in very fair
condition it can wait until the busy season
Is more advanced, so as not to Interfere.
My idea is to have a modern, up to date
bridge of iron and one that will be a credit
to the city, and I am ready to commence
work on it at the earliest possible time."
The mayor stated that the committee ap
pointed by the Chamber of Comeree to in
vestigate the gas, water and electric rates
had requested that a committee from the
council meet with them and discuss the
matter . are fully. He asked that the com
mittee on water and lights meet with the
Chamber of Commerce committee.
The ordinance regarding street excava
tions was read the second time and adopt
ed. The ordinance was published in The
News several weeks ago and is familiar
with its readers. Only a few changes were
made in the ordinance.
The report of the committee on streets,
which reported favorably on paving Wall
street with rock cement, was adopted.
As no other business was on band Aider
man Datnour made the motion to adjourn.
After adjournment the members of coun
cil enjoyed very thoroughly a barbecue
with the attendant moisture. The shoat
for the barbecue was furnished by Mr.
John Boardman and the bottled nectar by
the Acme Brewing Company. The action
of council on this question was unanimous
and the discussion was exhaustive.

GENERAMviILES
IS HOME AGAIN.
Arrived on the Transport Ab
dam at New York this
Morning.
■New York, Sept. 7 —The United States
transport Obdam having on board Major
General -Nelson A. Miles and staff, Major
Greenleaf, Captain Whitney, of the Second
regiment Wisconsin volunteers, consisting
of thirty officers and 800 men and the
hospital corps from Porto Rico, arrived
here today.
Mrs. Miles, son and daughter, was also
on board the transport which sailed from
Ponce on September 1.
The surgeon in charge reported -all well
on board and no sickness or deaths during
the voyage. The troops are in the best
of spirits.
The big transport was decorated in pro
fusion with flags. From the fore truck
was flying the American ensign over a
large Spanish flag while long strings of
international code flags were floating from
each masthead to the rails.
General Miles admitted to the Associated
Press reporter ,who interviewed him the
substantial accuracy o fthe statement at
tributed to him by Mr. Whelsley, of the
Kansas City Star correspondent at Ponce,
Porto Rico.
“There are,” General Miles said, "a few
minor Inaccuracies in the published re
ports such as usually occur in interviews,
but they are unimportant.
"It is true that I requested that my
troops on the return home to be allowed
to camp somewhere near New York, and
I also requested that troops be allowed to
march through New York city.
“I never intended to parade myself as
I shall go to Washington in a few days
and will not -be here at the time contem
plated for the parade.
"I asked that the Wisconsin men aboard
the Obdam be permitted to stay In this
vicinity a day or two, giving them a
chance to see the city.
To my first request that the troops be
permitted to camp hereabouts and be al
lowed to parade I received no reply. To i
the second request I received a reply at i
quarantine this morning ordering the j
Wisconsin boys home forthwith. The men
go from the transports directly to the cars.
I will stay In the city a day or two and
then proceed to Washington.”
HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
Is inactive, you have a bilious look: if
your stomach is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; If your kidneys are af
fected, you have a pinched look. Secure !
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. "Electric Bitters” is a good Altera
tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the biood
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at H. J. Lamar & Sons'
Drug Store. 60 cents per bottle.
EARLY NEXT YEAR.
Bridge Over the River Will Not Be Built
Now.
It is not at all probable that the bridge
over the river to East Macon at the foot of
Fifth street will be rebuilt before the lat
ter part of the next winter.
Mayor Price has said that he Is willing
that the bridge should be built, but that
he does not think that it would be wise to
do the work while the busy season is on.
In this the people and the merchants of
East Macon are with him. They say that
the tearing down of the bridge at this
time would have a bad effect on their bus
iness aDd so long as the bridge can be
made temporarily safe they are willing to
stand the old bridge rather than lose the
business that would inevitably follow the
commencement of the work at this time.
(But the bridge will be built as soon as
the opportunity is ripe. The mayor and tho
members of the city council are committed
to the step and there must be no more
patchwork except such as will hold the
structure together long enough to get the
business of tho winter over it.
MASHED THEIR TOES.
Whjr, President Smith of the T. P. A. Says,
Some Want to Oust Him.
Mr. E. E. Smith, state president of the
Georgia division of the T. P. A., concerning
whose resignation there has been recently
been considerable discussion, has written
a letter -telling his position in the matter.
He attaches no mportance to the criti
cisms that have been made of him or the
statements which those who oppose him
have made, but attributes them all to per
sonal prejudices. 'He says that to conduct
ing -the affairs of the offlee he has either
trod on the toes of, or got in the way of,
some little fellow and he is now undertak
ing to obtain hie revenge by sowing seeds
of discord in the Georgia division.
LETTER~FROivT
CAPTAIN WILEY
And Other Officers of Third
Immunes Now at
Santiago.
Colonel C. M. Wiley is in receipt of a
from his son. Captain Sidney Wiley, who
is now at Santiago with the Third regi
ment of United States volunteers under
Colonel P. H. Ray.
Captain Wiley says that the regiment Is
in god health and that they are com
fortably quartered. -He says that the heat
is not as intense as might be expected and
■they are fairly well enjoying it. There is
not much sickness among the men and in
in a general way they are agreeably sur
prised.
The letter is an Interesting one and goes
into detail as to the conditions around
Santiago. No reference is made to the
possibility of a scrap with the Cubans. The
letter was written on August 19th. Captain
•Viley -says that all the rest of the iMaoon
boys, both the officers and the men, are
doing well.
Letters have been received from a num
ber of ithe officers and men. One from
Captain Wheatley to relatives says that he
was quite ill for several days, but was
convalescent when the letter was sent.
His description of the harbor and -city of
Santiago, the wild and broken country sur
rounding the battlefields and Spanish for
tifications, is highly interesting. His- reg
iment is camped on a hillside five miles
from San Jaun, and right where some of
the most desperate fighting was done by
the contending armies. The boys, he ways,
have secured bushels of relies of the battle
there.
Captain Wheatley carries a Spanish ma
chete, picked up on the field, which adds
considerably to his warlike appearance.
Yellow Jack, he says, is playing havoc
with the natives and the Spanish soldiers
remaining, scores of them dying daily.
None of the men of the regiment have had
the fever at yet. Mountain fever, Captain
Wheatley says, is more dreaded than yel
low fever and even more fatal. The Span
iards are a miserable lot, and have devel
oped a passionate fondness for Uncle Sam’s
hardtack and canned beef. They die like
sheep it is said, from sheer neglect, While
not a few American -boys, 'as is well known,
suffer also from the lack of attention. At
Siboney alone there were 500 cases of fever
reported at the time the letter was writ
ten.
•Colonel Ray, with Captains Twiggs, Wil
cox, Frost and Cobb had gone to Guantana
mo at the time, and Captain Wheatley ex
pected the remainder of the regiment to be
ordered there very soon and ere this it has
probably left the vicinity of Santiago. The
Third regiment is under direct command of
General Lawton. The soldier boys found
plenty of tents on the field about Santiago,
and are now well provided for in this way.
The water, he says, is fairly good, hut no
lithia by any means.

DTHEIS Mil Mill MERCES
Manager of the University Team
Wants to Come to Macon While
the Carnival is Going On.
A letter was received In the city this
morning from Manager E. E. Pomeroy, of
Che Athens football team, asking about a
game here during the carnival. Manager
Pomeroy wants a game here with some
other prominent colelge. President Wax
elbaum of the Carnival Association, said
that he -was in favor of the plan -and that
he would bring the malter before the ex
ecutive c:a ■ e d -that he thought that
•they would also be in favor of it.
, It is known that the Athens boys always
.-draw a crowd wherever they go and if the
committee decides to let them come they
will ‘try to get them to arrange -a game
with Auburn for one day during the -Car
nival. Everybody knows of the rivalry
between these two colleges and it would
draw immense crowds here to see the
game.
A meeting of the executive committee
has been called for this afternoon at 4
o’clock at the Chamber of Commerce, and
the offer of Mr. Pomeroy will be discussed.
A party of Macon people and others sug
gested to the Carnival Association a few
days ago that it would be a good idea to
have ho-rseraeiug here during the carnival.
This matter will also be discussed at the
meeting this afternoon. Mr. Mower and
other Macon people are at the head of the
movement, and it is probable that an
agreement will be reached this afternoon.
A football game between Athens -and Au
burn, on© between Macon and Columbus
and horse racing would prove to be draw
ing cards for the occasion.
The state L. A. W. meet will also be
held here and two days of it will be do-vo
ted to bicycle racing. Some of the fastest
men in the country will be entered in the
races. Bob Walthour, of Atlanta, cham
pion of the South, will probably come end
contest for some of the prizes.
•Generals Lee and Wheeler or Colonel
Bryan will probably speak at the living
flag celebration. All three of the above
named mteni have been invited to attend
the ‘carnival and the officials of the asso
ciation say that (they are expecting them to

This has been tried in several of the north -
ern cities and has proved a big success.
Thte patriotic committee has not yet se
leced an Uncle Sam or a Miss Columbia to
participate in the patriotic day parade.
President Waxelbaum say-s -that he still
continues to receive letters from all over
the country in regard to the carnival from
-people who wish to put up shows here and
who want to visit the city also. He says
that Macon is being extensively advertised,
•and that by the time the carnival -comes off
Macon will be the best advertised city in
•the South. The business men of the city
have an advertisement for the -carnival
-printed on their business envelopes and
this gives the city -a good ad. The news
papers -throughout the South -are -also giv
ing the carnival notices. The people are
all interested and -are pulling together-
The finance committee is getting on -ex
ceedingly well in their canvass for sub
scriptions and it will not be long before
they will have a sufficient amount with
which to carry on the work.
All the eom-mi-ttees are doing good work
and are putting out their best efforts. The
president says that he is well pleased with
the work which the committees are doing
and that with such men to assist him the
carnival cannot be a failure.
FLANAGAN
RAVING MAD.
The Mood of the Maniac Has
Changed to Greatest
Violence.
Atlanta, Sept. 7 —With screams and yells
that made the night hideous, with wild ef
forts to beat out his brains on the sides
of his iron cage, Edward C. Flanagan, the
double murderer, suddenly became a ray
ing maniac last night and the jailers had
to get five or six of the other prisoners to
hold the frantic man upon his cot.
From the passive, listless and apparently
cunning fellow the sudden change to a
maniac who cursed and swore and tore his
hair as he dashed himself against the cage
surprised the officials at the county jail no
little. For weeks past the noted prisoner
has been sick, complaining of his head and
refusing to eat his sod. He smoked cigar
ettes constantly, sometimes using five or
six packs a day.
Last night at 9 o’clock piercing yells
were heard in his cell. They sounded Ilka
the wild cry of some animal in the jungle
and the jail officials hastened into the
prison, thinking that, perhaps, some one
was being killed. They found Flanagan
dashing about in his cell, falling against
the iron bars, holding his hands to his
head and screaming with such frightful
shrieks that all the prisoners in the jail
peered through the Iron windows qf their
cells with astonishment.
Talking had no effect on the man as he
tore at his hair and tried to beat out his
brains against the walls. It was seen that
If something was not done at once to res
cue Flanagan from himself he would die
from his own efforts. The cell door was
opened and an attempt was made to get
Flanagan to lie down. This was useless
and six of the other prisoners, all stalwart
negroes had to be broughtout of their cells
and made to take hold of the frantic mur
derer. Flanagan fought them like an en
raged demon and the combined strength
of the six men could scar-eiy hold him
down.
To have held him in this way all night
was impossible and the county physician.
Dr. McDaniel, was sent for. Nothing but
a quieting drug calmed the raving man, a
medicine which brought sleep to make him
forget his misery.

We Don’t
Button-Hole and Pester.
The good nature of the pnblic changes to wail
ing when a clothier takes it by the button-hole to
pester it with the MOTIF and RATIONALE of
a bit of retailing absurdity. The hobby-monger of
the Clothing business is the only perfect and con
summated bore and progress with him becomes a
a very dismal jok. Self-convinced of the value of his
original, deeply-cogitated piece of nonsense, he is
determined to devote his time and your money to
the task of converting his great (?) thought into a
great fact, and to make incapacity itself a source of
income. Don’t be influenced by perverse sharpness.
Here’s a store that accords you fairness, promptness
and accuracy in all its transactions; a store that
despises the timid science of old fogies as well as the
volatilities and vagaries of the hobbyist.
