MYSTERY SURROUNDS IT. Two Soldiers of the First Georgia Stabbed by a Brewer. 'Private Thomas Barrett and a soldier named Harrison, of the First Georgia regi ment, were stabbed by a brewer in Knox ville early Tuesday morning while engaged in a difficulty. Considerable mystery sur rounds the affair and information 'as ito the origin of the trouble is hardly obtainable. The Journal and Tribune, of Knoxville, however, has the following relative to the scrape: “An affair which occurred early yester day morning on Chamberlain street is sur rounded by mystery. Two soldiers of the First Georgia, both of whom, it is supposed were privates, were severely wounded, one of them mortally. Fayette Jones, white, an employe of the Knoxville Brewing Co., cut both of the soldiers, and from the facts which can be learned of the affray, the ac tion which he took was forced upon him. “The mysterious part of the affair lies in the labduction of the men who were injur ed. They were taken away from the place ‘wnere the cutting occurred before rhe am bulance, which had been ordered tc carry the to the division hospital, had time to ar rive. •’ Major Allen, F'rst Pennsylvania, pro vost marshal, is investigating the tnstrer He has not as yet, however, learned either the names of the officers who spirited the men away or the names of the soldiers who were cut. Jones, Who did the cutting, went across from the brewery 'to the place of “Rocky” Turner, which is situated on Chamberlain street, to ask something about an order for beer which had been received at the brew ery. “When Jones entered there was a half dozen First Georgia men standing around. One of them commenced abusing the brew ery employe and the half dozen jumped him a short time later. Jones ran and took refuge inside the brewery. Two of the sol diers, more adventurous than their com rades, followed and pressed the fight. Then it was that Jones pulled his knife and com menced cutting. He laid one of the men low wih two or three ugly gashes in the right side. The other received a bad cut in the head and when the injured men were seen by Lieutenant Goolsbe of the po lice force, a few minute later, the one who had been cut on the body was in a danger ous condition. It was reported yesterday afternoon that he was dead, but a visit to the undertaking establishment failed to lo cate his remains. “Lieutenant Goolsbe arrested Jones just as he was about to leave for Lutrell, Tenn., where his wife lives. He was taken to the jail and will be held until a thorough ex amination can be made of the affair. SECOND GEORGIA Will Be Mustered Out in Atlanta But It Is Not Known When.

INFORMATION FROM WASHINGTON On Anv Subject Can Be Ob tained from a Well Known and Reliable Source. Mr. Claude N. Bennett, manager of the Congressional Information Bureau, of Washington, D. C., is registered at the La nier. Mr. Bennett is well known to Georgia as a newspaper man through his connection with the Atlanta Journal. The .Congres sional Information Bureau which he help-d to launch from the national capital upon congress and the public last winter, is one of the few new things that has lately ap peared in Washington. The idea that busy congressmen often need a vast deal of material from the pub lic and other records, to be used in their speeches, campaigns and public documents, and that they have not time to dig it out, led Mr. Bennett and his associates to es tablish this bureau as a sort of general secretaryship to congress. In this field it at once began to grow and flourish. Or ders came in, too, from prominent men not in congress for various compilations upon many subjects and the institution be came ambitious to act as reference bureau for the country at large. It now under takes to supply anybody with information of any sort on any subject. For instance, if a lecturer is writing a lecture, if an author Is writing a book, if a man thinks he is a son of the Revolu tion and wants to prove it, if a profession al man or a scientist is working up a sub ject and needs references upon it, if one wants to know the status or progress of any bill in congress, or the standing of a ' matter before the departments, or if he Is i interested in pensions or patents or what ! not, this bureau will undertake to supply his needs. “We are not all-wise,” said Mr. Bennett, “but hardly anything can arise which some | one does not know or some book does not j contain. Our advantage consists in know- ; ing the sources of information, and if we 1 get anything we can’t hndle we know who can and we enlist his services at once. We have received some very queer orders, but w have so far filled them all." Same as the Genuine Montevallo. We, the following committee represent ing the miners employed by ‘the Monte vallo Lump Coal Mining Co., and who for merly have been in the employ of the Montevallo Coal and Transportation Co. of Aldrich, Ala., and who have had from six to ten years knowledge of mining in the latter company’s mine, hereby testify that the coal that is being mined by the Montevallo Lump Coal Mining Co. is the SAME GRADE of coal as the GENUINE MONTEVALLO, which has been mined by the Montevallo Coal and Transportation Go., of Aldrich, for thirty years.

To Take Ud the Matter of a Recep tion to Soldiers—Committee Appointed to Take Charge.’ The following telegram was received this morning- Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 17 —The First Georgia is every day expecting orders to move to Macon, to be mustered out. The board of surgeons which is examin ing all the army camps is still here. A meeting of the Macon Volunteers was held at their armory last night for the pur pose of plans to entertain the Macon boys « hen they arrive at home and if the whole regiment was stationed heTe to co-operate with the citizens. Lieutenant Bob Hazlehurst was in charge of the meeting and he stated what the purpose of the meeting was. There was some uncertaint v as to whether the regi ment would come as a whole or whether the Macon companies alone would come. A committee was appointed to arrange for the reception of the Macon boys and if the regiment came they were to co-operate with the citizens in getting up a commit tee. The committee is as follows: Messrs. Woodruff, Turpin, Dunwoody, Jones and Smith. The committee began work this morning and they, intend to give the boys a big send off .They propose to show them that the homefolks have not entirely forgotten them and that if they were neglected while in camp they will make up for it new. The homecoming of the soldier boys will be a great thing and Macon is going to celebrate it in the best manner she knows how. Lieutenant Hazlehurst says that If the people are going to do anything /or the boys that they should remember that as the men will be on traveling rations, which consists of hard tack and banned meets. He says that the boys will be hungry when they reach here and that they will appreciate food more than any thing else. FOR VINEVILLE STAND PIPE. Petition Filed in the United States Court Today on the Subject. A petition waa filed in the United States court this morning by the stockholders of the Macon Gas Light and Water Company, praying .that the $40,000, which is the re sult of the sale of the electric plamt, be in vested. They say that the number of re ceiver’s certificates, which were issued a few months ago is not enough to complete the work and they want the money real ized by ithe sale reinvested so that the com pany can carry on the work and build a new and sufficient water tower at Vine ville. They pray that this money be invested for the benefit of the security holders and the betterment of the company, and the re tirement of receiver’s certificates as soon as they fall due. They ask that an order be granted from the court giving them the authority to in vest the money or such a part of it to com plete the work and to build a new water tower in Vineville. That the money left over be used in pay ing th receiver’s certificates as they fall due. A rule nisi has been granted by Judge Speer for the parties at interest to show cause why the petition should not be granted. Receiver Tinsley filed his answer to the petition today in which he 'admitted that it would be a good thing for the money to be invested as the petitioners prayed. In his petition he stated that he was very much in favor of the plan. The answer of the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company w'as also filed and they were very much opposed to the disposal of the money and stated that they had no right as trustees of the company to invest the money as sugested. It is not known when the case will be heard, but it will arouse a great deal of interest. Both sides are represented by the best law firms in the city and the case will be hotly contested.
