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.

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 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.

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. His Hard Work of Last Few Months Too Much for Him.

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.

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, THE MACOIS '“NEWS.

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. ALMOST A CYCLONE. Pennsylvania Visited by a Terrific Storm- Three Men Killed.

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.

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. ACADEMY FOR BLIND Opens Tomorrow—A Large Attendance Ex pected.

SAME SPORTING EVENTS ON TAP Races, Football and Bicycling Will Be Interesting Parts of the Program. 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 attend. Another idea -suggested is that a priz* TX? vAvECTT-ui try tilt: x>oJ*a-0»v W.I»T o«Xn put itluii -most dilapidated vehicle in the parades. 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.

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. .4 money on Hand.
