Special to The News.
Washington, Sept. B.—Senator Bacon had
u long Interview thia morning with the
provident relative to mustering out tho
Georgia Lroope.
He represented to the president the
great importance of immediate action inor
der that tho young men who had volunteer
ed while the war was pending or going on,
might tit once return to their business av
ocations. He urged that either a certain
proprotlon of the regiments should be mus
tered out in their entirety, or that some
general system Should be adopted by which
the men whose business required it should
be discharged and their places filled by
recruits.
The president, on the contrary, pointed
out the importance and necessity of retain
ing a certain number of the volunteers
and that under this necessity some must
be retained against their will.
After a full diucursion, lasting nearly an
hour, the president, consented to recognize
Colonel Ray’s regiment «is a Georgia regi
ment for the purpose of estimating the
Georifla quota.
Upon the basis of retaining one half of
the volunteers, he decided to muster out
two of the Georgia volunteer regiments
find during the interview with Senator
Bacon, the president sent for Adjutant
General Corbin and ordered him to order
the mustering of them out. This will be
done without delay.
The president requested Senator Bacon
to designate the two regiments to be mus
tered out, but the senator, however, de
clined to do so, stating that he would not
take (the responsibility of determining
which regiment should be retained in the
service where there were so many In each
regiment who wished to be discharged and
Where there were doubtless some in each
regiment who wished to continue in the
» service.
So soon as tho designation of the regi
ments to be mustered out is decided on,
the officers and men will be given a fur
lough of thirty days after which they will
return and be paid off and mustered out.

the pensions of officers returning from
Cuba be placed in reserve and that in ad

The newspapers assert that the govern
ment is greatly surprised and chagrined
at the attitude of tho conservatives in the
chamber, which indicates that the govern

WILL BACON BE
COMMISSIONER?
• - -
Some Talk in Washington to
that Effect is Aroused
By His Visit.
Washington, Sept. B—Representative
Quigg. of New York, spent some time with
the president incidentally touching on the
political conditions in New York state.
Quigg said afterward that there is no
further doubt as to the nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt as the Republican can
didate for governor.
Quigg did not think that congress would
embark on a congressional investigation
on conduct of the war.
A delegation from the north portion of
Ohio saw the president as to furloughing
the Second Ohio regiment camped at
Knoxville. The men are anxious to get
back home and while the mustering out
is in expedient it is probable that they will
be furloughed from time to time to re
lieve the strain of protracted eamp life.
A call by Senator Bacon, of Georgia, led
to some conjecture as to the choice of a
Democratic member of the peace commis
sion. The senator declined to discuss the
call, except to say it did not relate to the
commissionership.
General Miles’ return to Washington has
led to considerable corridor talk as to
what course will be adopted relative to the
general's published criticism. Officially,
however, nothing is said on the subject.

Montauk Point, Sept. B—The8 —The bodies of
naval cadet Thomas H. Wheeler, son of
Major General Joseph Wheeler, and of his
secretary, Lieutenant Newton Kirkpatrick,
of the First United States cavalry, who
were drowned while bathing in the sea
yesterday, came in with the tide and were
thrown on the beach at about 2 o’clock

The bodies were found lying close to
gether just below the life-saving station
about a quarter of a mile from where the
young men had gone in bathing.
Details from the Second cavalry had
been patrolling the beach with lanterns.
The life savers who knew the coast, had
predicted that the bodies would drift in
where they did. Two rude biers were
formed out of planks taken from near the
life-saving station and the bodies were
placed upon them.
In the meantime the cavalry men had
gathered from up and down the beach and
followed the bodies to Wheeler’s head
quarters.

daughters, who were in camp nursing the

FOR FORGERY.
A One Time Prominent Resident of Sa

Savannah, Ga., Sept. B.—An indictment
for forgery has been found by the grand
jury against George Krite, formerly dis
count clerk at the Chatham bank here,
charging him with the embezzlement of
something like $30,000 or $35,000. About
eight months ago Krite mysteriously disap
peared, and little 'baa since been heard
•from him. His friends have since learned,
however, 'that he joined the United States
navy and wais a landsman or seaman on
the flagship Brooklyn when Cervera’s fleet
was sunk off Santiago. Krite Is thought to
be in New York now. He was well known
here, highly respected and by many con
sidered a 'model young man. The report
of the embezzlement charge Will be a shock
to his many friends who have believed that
an spite of his disapearance the would yet
turn out all right.

POSTPONEMENT OF MILL.
Change in Hawthorne Club Plans May Have
Red Hot Sequel.
Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. B—Although the
Corbett-McCoy mill has been postponed
until October 15, the final change was not
made without friction, and considerable
ugly talk has followed. W. B. Gray charges
that J. J. Corbett got his agreement to a
change by a falsehood. Corbett claimed
that the Buffalo people had agreed to the
switch, and Gray then acquiesced. After
the new date had been sanctioned all
around the assertion was made that Cor
bett had not seen anyone In Buffalo, and
that his declaration to that effect was
false.
W. B. Gray minced no words In refer
ring to Corbett. He was very sore and in
timated that Corbett would dodge the fight
ont the 15th. That statement brough from
Mr. George Considine the promise: "He
will be in the ring even if I have to carry
him there.”
"Well, you may net have to carry him
Into the ring,” retorted Gray, "but you
will have to carry him out.”
Gray also wired the Hawthorne Club
this caustic message:
“Corbett has lied to us. He told us you
agreed to a postponement until October
15. It makes no difference as to his dis
reputable course. We will postpone the
fight. Announce the postponement. We
will try and make him be on hand on that
date."

Calling Him the Matchless Tribune
of the People and Denounce
Republicans.
Ellensburg, Wash., Sept. 8. —The confer
ence committee of the three parties, Demo
cratic, Populist and Silver Republicans,
whose state conventions are now in pro
gress, resumed their sessions today. The
only conclusion yet reached is that the
ticket is to be known as the People’s Party
ticket, and the Democrats and Silver Re
publicans are each to have a congressman.
The platform reaffirms allegiance to the
Chicago platform and fidelity 'to the lead
ership of that matchless tribune of the
people, William Jennings Bryan.
It denounces the Republican party and
its leadens for its hypocracy. Insincerity
and duplicity in pretending ,in the national
conventon of 1896 to favor the free coinage
of silver by an international agreement.
It renews the demand for the free coin
age of both silver and 'gold at a legal ratio
of 16 to 1. It denounces as unfair and bit
terly partisan the discrimination, of the
present secretary of Was as carried out by
his department against the volunteers
from the state in requiring them to remain
at home while troops in vast numbers
from the easter nstates were transported
at enormous expense across the continent

The registration books for entrance into
the public schools will open on Monday
morning and Profesor Abbott expects his
office to be crowded on that day. He has

possible, if they do not crowd out the resi
dent pupils. The attendance at the schools
this year will be unusually large, and it is
expected that some of the schools will toe
overcrowded.
"Everything is getting in shape,” said
'Profesor Abbott, “and we will have a very
successful term, I think.”' The teachers
have all returned and are ready for this
year’s work. Physical culture will be

The Grand Army Got Down to Busi

Days of Display.
Cincinnati, Sept. B—The business of the
thirty-second annual encampment of the
G. A. R. and Its auxiliaries began today
after three day’s of preliminary demons
trations.
The business sessions were, however, In
terrupted by the parade of the civic and
industrial organizations in the afternoon
after the labor, naval and grand army
parades on the three preceding days.
About 1,200 national delegates were
present when the encampment proper was
called to order in the music hall at 10 a.
m. with Charles Wentzell, the officer of
the day. The welcome address was deliv
ered by Governor Bushnell with a sup
plemented welcome address by Mayor
Tafel, of Cincinnati, and M. E. Ingalls,
chairman of the Citizens committee and
president of the Big Four and Chesapeake
and Ohio railways.
In response, Commander-in-chief Gobtn
referred eloquently to the attractions of
the week and the lavish entertainment of
the citizens of Cincinnati.
Director General Mellsh also made a
felicitous address of welcome. At the con
clusion of these preliminaries the great
hall was cleared of all but the members
entitled to a voice in the proceedings.
Many were the reports submitted. The
encampment has much work In consider
ing the proposition for a revision of the
ritual and propositions for amalgamation.
It is believed the proposition make those
who participated in the Hispania-American
war eligible will not prevail as the latter
day soldiers will want a separate organi
zation. There was more sentiment in favor
of uniting those who fought on the differ
ent sides in the same war and a resolution
will be offered inviting the Confederate
veterans to meet with the G. A. R. next
year.
The Missouri delegation is likely to pre
sent a resolution as that state was about
equally divided during the civil war.
It is now stated that General Sickles has
been named In god faith as a candidate for
eommander-in-chief as the means of unit
ing the New York delegates. It is also
.stated that the name of I. ,F. -Mack, of
Ohio will not be presented by the Ohio
delegates.
MYSTERIOUS CRIME
Indicated by the Finding of a Dead Body at
Muncie, Ind.
Muncie, Ind., Sept. B—The dead body of
William Stall, a respected laborer, was
found upon the sidewalk almost in front
of his home, at an early hour Saturday
morning.
All the indications at hand point to mur
der, and that the murderer had calmly
washed the blood from Stall’s face.
Stall was seen walking toward his home
at a late hour, 'but no other clew has been
found. A blunt instrument or sandbag
had been used judging from the nature of
the wounds upon the man’s head.
Stall was industrious for a man 53 years
of age, and as a gold watch and a quantity
of money were found in his pockets un
molested, the theory of murder with in
tent to rob him has abandoned, and an air
of mystery surrounds the case.

BAD MAN FROM
EAST ST. LOUIS
Collected a Check for Ten
Thousand at of
Two Revolvers,
Chicago, Sept. B.—Wm. R. McFarland, of
the horse commission firm of McFarland &
Evans,, of St. Louis, today walked into the
office of Louis Newgtass & Son, stock yards,
and presenting a revolver to the head of
Louis Newgass, -the junior member of the
firm, commanded him to send for his cash
ier, Frank Mosely.
Upon the apearance of Mosely, McFar
land drew another revolver and ordered
the cashier to draw a check in his favor
for 110,416, which he claimed the firm owed
him.
When the cashier had finished making
out the check McFarland calmly instructed
Newgass, at the same time giving a me
nacing flourish to the weapons, to affix his
signature to the paper. That done the man
from East St. Louis lined the two frighten
ed men up against the wall of the office
and with all the solemnity of a judge, ad
ministered an oath to them to the effect
that they would not follow him or raise
any outcry.
As soon as the visitor left Mosely and
Newgass telephoned the police.
The check was drawn on the National
Live Stock Bank, and police captain,
Lavin, immediately dispatched two detec
tives to the bank.
McFarland was standing at the cashiers
window with the check in his hand when
the officers entered. He was so intent on
changing the check for currency that he
failed to notice the detectives until they
seized him.
McFarland was quickly disarmed and a
few minutes later was behind the bars.
According to McFarland the money he
eolelcted represented an amount due him
from the Dufour & Co., stock yards, com
mission merchants, who failed some time
ago.

NEW ELECTRIC
POWER HOUSE
Work Will Be Commenced by
Macon and Indian Springs
People,
FINE MODERN EQUIPMENT
Macon Will Have a Building and
Plant Equal to Any to Be Found
in the South.
Work on a new electric power house will
soon commence. In fact all the plans have
been made and it is the intention of the
Macon and Indian Spring Street Railway
Company to start the work as soon as the
Southern railway puts in a spur track
which ’will be necessary while the work of
building is going on and afterwards.
The electric light plant and good win of
the Macon Gas Light and Water Company
was recently purchased bythe Macon and
Indian Spring Street Car people. At that
time the plant was in such condition that
it was acknowledged by the old company
that It would be impossible for them to
carry out their contracts with the city and
with the business people of the town un
less they put in a new plant. This the
old company would have done or it would
have repaired the old plant so as to make
it practical for the contracts to be carried
out.
When the new purchasers took charge
they found that it would be absolutely
necessary to put in an entirely new plant
and this they have made arrangements to
do as soon as the building is erected. The
work will be pushed rapidly -and when the
whole is complete Macon will have as fine
electric light power plant as there is in
the South.
The new building will be erected in the
rear of the present car shops of the Macon
and Indian Spring Street Car Company.
It is near Rose Hill cemetery, but in the
hollow and just where it will not be in a
degree a detriment to the place. In fact
it is the intention of the company to put
up a building that will be a credit to the
city not only in point of capacity but ar
chitecture.
The Southern Railway is making ready
to put in the track to the new power
house. It will run from the main line up
the valley to the building and in this way
the company will be able to get its mate
rial quickly and with greater economy
than it could be secured at most any other
point.
It is the Intention of the management
to give to Macon a thoroughly, modern
electric lighting and power plant -and they
will be so equipped as to be able to supply
any -amount of power that may be required
for manufacturing enterprises.
This is the best news that iMacon has
heard for some time. The electric re
sources of the city have been sadly defi
cient and have been entirely inadequate to
supply the demand. For this reason a
number of enterprises have hesitated
about locating in Macon, but with the new
company equipped as is the intention of its
management there will no longer be any
cause for the slightest complaint.

We Don’t
Button-Hole and Pester.
The good nattire of the public 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 a source of
income. Don’t be irfluenced 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.
