COMMITTEES WERE HARD AT WORK THIS MORNING, Contributions Are Coming in Rapidly Everyone Anxious that the Boys Shall Have a Hearty Welcome Home Again Ladies Will Assist Card's Band Will Furnish Good Music During Day. By Asswx'late.! Pre««. Knoxville, Tenn., Sept. 23.—This after noon at about 3 o’clock the first of the three sections Which are to take the First Georgia regiment home will leave the city. The regiment Is being loaded this morn ing and preparations for an early start are (being made. All the cars arc in readiness. The South oren railway will handle the troops to Ma con. No regiment that has been at Knox ville has made a finer impression than that of Colonel Lawton. The First Georgia regiment will reach Macon tomorrow morning but the exact hour when the first section of the train Is scheduled for Macon cannot be ascer tained t'hle afternoon. The reception that the regiment will re ceive will be equal to the appreciation that Macon has for the men of the regiment not only the local companies but all the companies from the neighboring towns and from Savannnah. A rousing meeting of the citizens was held at the Chamber of .Commerce last night. A number of people were present and a number of others announced that they could not tve present. but asked that they be called on to do their share in the reception. Colonel Wiley was chairman of the meeting and stated its object. Mr. It. W. Smith acted as secretary. On motion Lt was decided to make the reception of the First regiment hearty and liberal and to appoint a wmiroiKne to take the matter in hand with ixiwei to make all the arrangements. The commit tee was appointed as follows: (Messrs. George W. Duncan, J. Russell Kennedy, E. D. Huguenin, John W. Byrne, and Robert \V. Smith. Colonel Wiley was made ex-officio chair man of the committee. Lieutenant Robert Hazlehurst announ ced that the Macon Volunteers had ap pointed a committee which would be glad to co-operate with the citizens’ commit tee. Mr. W. C. Turpin announced that the ladies had held a meeting during the af ternoon and while .they had taken no defi nite action because they were uninformed as to the course that the reception would take they wished it understood that they are .ready to do their share of the work. The announcement that the Acme .Brew ing Company bad given a checque for a hundred dollars for the reception fund started the ball rolling and in a few min utes about a hundred and fifty dollars more was subscribed. Everyone present gave something and everyone was heartily in accord with .the movement. After the adjournment of the meeting the committee appointed met and arranged the manner in which the soldiers should be received. It was determined that as {.hey were to arrive in the morning there should be an ample supply of a substantial break fast on the grounds so that each section of the train as the men came in could be at once given a good hot breakfast. Later In the day when all the regiment has ar rived a dinner will be spread and a sub committee was appointed to make .the ar rangements for the contract for both the dinner and the breakfast. As it meant something for the provision to be be made for a thousand men almost at twenty-four hours notice, the committee at once made out the specifications and within an hour the contract was made with (Mr. J. Bins wanger. The general committee was assisted in its deliberations by (Messrs. D. B. Wood ruff, W. C. Turpin and Ben C. Smith, of the Macon Volunteers’ committee. The ladies are requested to send supplies to the Volunteers armory on Saturday from 5 o’clock up to noon. It is especially desired to impress upon them that owing to the short notice it will be Impossible for the caterer to provide anything but very plain eating and the ladies are looked to to add to the supplies with “something better.” Mrs. Mallory Taylor requests the follow ing arwioirecoment: The men of the city will prepare sandwiches and coffee for the soldiers’ breakfast Saturday morning. The ladies will add to this menu whatever they can. All who desire to contribute any thing to help out the breakfast can do so. Chicken and biscuits are most desired, but anything to eat will be highly acceptable. The contributions must be sent to the Volunteers’ armory by 5 o'clock this (Fri- day) afternoon. It Is hoped there will be several hundred responses to this. The ladies of the city, headed by the Re lief Association, will give the soldiers a dinner Saturday. Contributions for this must be sent to the Central City park by 11 o'clock Saitaurday morning. This is in tended to be an elaborate affair, and as it tak( . a great deal to feed a thousand sol diers, everything that can be secured .will be gratefully received It is especially requested that nothing should be sent with a view of having it re turned. (for what is sent either to the Vol unteers' armory or the park will never be set n again, perhaps. Nobody wkl’l try to r< eovt r it. The committee melt again this morning and commenced the work of getting up (the funds for the reception. It was found that the sum of S6OO would not be sufficient for the purposes and as the committee does not waol to see stintipg they determined to raise all Che money possible ami if any thing is left over it wiH be used for the First regiment while Lt is in camp here. The city was divided up and the differ ent sub ■committees commenced work at once. Up ,to noon the response to the call had been most, satisfactory, but as .there is but little time in which to do all the work and as all the members of the commiittee are business men and have their 'time iruoh taken up the request is made that I he News ask the citizens who may wish their names to go on the honor role of subscribers to this fund to hand in their names to Colonel C. M. Wiley or to any member of the committee. Mr. J. Binswanger, who has taken the ontract for the provisioning of the men tomorrow is the 'busiest man in town to day. He has undertaken a big contract but those who know the indefatigable ike know also that he will 'do what he undertakes and the people of Macon may r, ft assured that the soldiers will be given an ample breakfast and dinner and that there will lx no lack of anything. From the best information obtainable today from the Southern road: is the regi ment will leave Knoxville this afternoon, first section leaving there at about 3 o'clock. This would put the first section into Ma con at about 5 o'clock tomorrow- morning. The sections will be about half an hou< apart and i.he regiment will come in three sections. Under these circumstances it is more than probable that the whole regi ment w ill be in Macon .before 9 o'clock. The dinner will be given in the open air a- noon or perhaps at 11 o'clock. The ex act hour will’ be settled at a meeting of the committee this afternoon. The committee will meet this afternoon at 5 o’clock at Colonel Wiley's office.

XV ashington, Sept. 23—A very peremp tory message of instruction has been sent the Cuban military commission and by them made the basis of a note to the Span ish commissioners.

THE MACON NEWS. 0 MANY MINERS ARE ENTOMBED Explosion of Gas and Fire Damp in a Pennsylvania Mine this Morning. FAMILIES WERE FRANTIC Ahd tF?e Scenes Around the Mine When the News of the Disaster Spread Were Terrible. Brownsville, Penn., Sept. 24. —Fifty-four men were entombed in the Umpire mine below 'Brownsville by an explosion of gas have been taken out. The dead are James Hall and John Bennett. Searching parties are making frantic efforts to reach the entombed miners, but progress is slow and there is great danger of another explosion which might bury them also under tons of rock and earth. Immediately following the explosion of gas there was a second explosion of fire damp. There were 140 men in the mine at the time of the explosion, work having been begun for the day a short time pre vious. Os these 58 were in entries Nos. 9 and 10. Four men, Jacobs, Davis, Whet zell. Walker and a Hungarian were near the mouth of entries, the others were far When the explosion came these four made a rush for the main heading, which they succeeded in reaching, though all were more or less injured. Os the fifty-eight men in entries 9 and 10 these four are the only ones known to be aliVe. They say there is no possible chance of escape of the fifty-four men who worked with them. The intelligence of the disaster soon spread and the crowds gathered around the mouth of the mine. Terrible scenes of grief and horror were presented. The wives and children of the entombed men were frantic with grief and shrieks and wails were frightful to hear. Notwith standing the great danger rescuing parties are working bravely, but the efforts are so far unsuccessful. Twenty-seven entombed miners have just returned to town, having escaped by traversing a mile and a half of under ground passages, coming out at the open ing near Lynn station, four miles from the opening of the mine. Nineteen miners are still unaccounted for. John Baker and his son George, who escaped by the back way, are terribly burned about the face, but will likely recover. All who escaped are injured or burned. The dead are unrecog nizable, being burned and mutilated. Old books bought, sold and exchanged at the “Old Book. Store,” next to Curiosity Shop.

Barnes arrived in the city yesterday for the purpose of .m.king preparations for taking the Steamship Adula to ‘New York as soon as possible. He has advertised for officers and crew for this work, but it is probable that he will need only a few more men, as most of those who are to make the trip have already been secured. Captain Frank B. Avery will be in command and Engineer Williamson will have charge of the engine room as chief. The others of the officers and crew needed will be secured today. Marshal 'Barnes expects to leave the city either Friday night or Saturday morning. He has pretty near everything in readiness now, and the hull and boilers will prob ably be looked after by the local inspectors today. Upon his arrived in New Yprk the marshal will advertise the Adula for ten days in the Herald and some other paper, and then she will be put under the auc tioneer's hammer. There were numerous applicants at the marshal’s office yester day for positions on the vetsel. Thousands of second hand school books at the ‘‘Old Book Store,” next to Curiosity Shop.

Bryan spent yesterday in Washington, saw the president and war department officials and went away without suggesting either that his regiment be mustered out or that he proposed to resign his commission. This was Colonel (Bryan's first appearance here in uniform and naturally he attracted much attention. Before he came the dis patches had much to say about hi?, in tentions and the suggestion that he might resign his commission called forth a lot of criticism from the men who stay up nights trying to find (some means to hurt him. The crowd that howled because he talked before being mustered in and has been equally critical be cause he saw fit to observe the proprieties and has not talked since donning his uniform—this crowd has been vigorously jumping on him for his ssuposed desire to leave the service. Bryan met Governor Holcombe, of Ne braska. here yesterday. When it was learned that they would be here the con clusion that they were coming to secure the muster out of Bryan's regiment was jumped at. The fact is. however, is they made no such request. They did have a list of sick men in the regiment whom they wanted sent home, and they thought the best way to accomplish what they were after was to come here. After seeing the adjutant general, the acting secretary of war and the ceneral of the army, they called at the white house and paid their respects. Governor Hol combe talked of the exposition at Oma ha. which the president is soon to visit, and the president questioned Colonel Bryan at some length concerning conditions of the camps in Jacksonville. Neither at the war department nor at the white house was the possibility of mus tering out the Third Nebraska discussed and ‘there was no suggestion at either place of Bryan resigning his commission. So far as known, therefore, the talk of his resigning is confined to the newspapers. He did not disclose his purposes. Like many another who enlisted for the fight, he does not particularly relish the idea of garrison duty in Cuba. The Nebraska silver men are anxious to have his counsel and his leadership in the congressional campaign, which is very hit ter out there, but whether he will gratify them he will not say at this time. Like ether volunteer regiments the Third Nebraska is not anxious to stay in service, I but will probably do so. If Bryan resigns i the colonelcy he will undoubtedly be able 1 to give good reasons for doing so. As it is, all he will say is that he has nothing to say at this time.

MACON NEWS FRIDAYJSEPTEMBER 23 1898. FIFTY THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS Fullv that Many Will Be Needed in the Armv of Occupation. PLANS ARE DISCUSSED In Washington Circles for the Dis position of the Regiments in the South. Washingotn, Sept. 23.—Now that Hunts ville and Anniston have been selected as the places for camping the regulars until they shall be ordered to Cuba, the Presi dent and the war department officials are devoting their attention to the volunteers. According to the present plan, it was learned yesterday, few of the volunteer regiments still in the United States army camps or those doing garrison duty at the coast forts will be mustered out of the service for some time to come. It is not the intention of the war department au thorities to keep the volunteers now gar risoning coast forts much longer at those posts. Their places will be taken iby the batteries of the regular artillery whose places ti> volunteers took at the begin ning of the war. Whether to send the volunteers thus re lieved by regulars to camps where other volunteer organizations are assembled or to place that part of the volunteer force Which is to be retained in the service in barracks, is a question which the president and his advisers in the war department have had under consideratoin. General Miles has strongly advised that the vol unteer organizations be put in barraefis until they are needed in Cuba or elsewhere. From dispatches received here ysterday the president is inclined to agree with Gen eral’Miles. It was also stated yesterday that sin'ce General .Miles’ return from Porto Rico, 'the president has sought his views on every question relating to the moving or assembling of troops, volunteer or reg ular. Several days ago it was suggested to the president that, for various reasons, it would be unwise to keep the volunteers much longer in camp. It was pointed out to him that the volunteers are not yet in nured to the discomforts of camp life, and, now that the autumn season with its cold rains, is advancing, the health of these troops will be still more impaired if they are kept in camp. As a substitute for the camips, it was suggested that the volun teers be put in' (barracks or near several large cities. The volunteers would then be near railroad centers and near sea ports and could readily be moved to Cuba or Porto Rico. The president learned that it would be a comparatively easy matter to secure barrack room for 40,000 volun teers iu this way, and he was informed ■that, from the present outlook, it would not be necesasry to retain more than 40,000 of the volunteers in the service. It was said yesterday that he bad au thorized the quartermaster general’s de partment to find what it would cost to se cure barrack room for 40,000 volunteers in cities near the coast. The prau which then suggested itself to the quartermaster gen eral’s department was to put about five thousand volunteers in each of the eight seacoast cities, or cities with several rail roads centered. Some of the cities sugges ted were Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and New York, Buildings will be erected in each of these or other cities, should the plan ibe adopted, where 5,000 volunteers can be 'comforta bly and conveniently housed, each man to have, when asleep, 140 cubic feet of air .space. The proper army officers in New York, and .presumably in other pities, have been directed ot find out at what rental per month such building can be obtained in the city or suburbs. It has been suggested that such buildings may be found in Jersey City not far from the railroads, in Hoboken and in Weehaw ken. It was also suggested yesterday af terdnoon by one of the officers commis sioned to find the buildings that just such quarters as are wanted could be found in vacant stores and lofts right along Broad way. It was even suggesetd Chat owners of some of these building, out of patriot ism, might be willing to give the free use of their property to tne government for a month or two. It is not anticipated that the troops will be kept in barracks more than three months at the outside. It was recalled yesterday that after the Astor Battery was recruited Colonel Astor gave Ihte use of one of his stores just south of Spring street as a barracks for the bat tery. The officers here Will set about their work immediately and report to the quar termaster general as soon as possible. “Knox” fall hats. Phillips. COTTON COMING IN RAPIDLY. Is of Much Better Quality— Drv Weather Has Helped It. Cotton has taken a spurt in the last feiw days and wagon loads of it wil) be brought into the city tomorrow and the warehouse men are preparing to handle it. The exact number of bales in the city at present is not known, but it will gp into the thousands. All the farmers are delighted with the dry weather, as it gives them the oppor tunity io gather their crops without get ting the cotton stained. The corn crops this year will be the best ever made Un some time and the farmers will begin to gather it in a few days. The price of cotton will, in all probabili ty, go up in a few days. All of the ■ware housemen and cotton buyers’ think this, and -to the farmers it will be good news. HOW TO LOOK GOOD.

New Plan Adopted by Depart ment Will Be Great Con venience. —— —• A new rule regarding money orders will shortly be received at the Macon post office. The order will probably be received to day or tomorrow. Several other postoffices have received the new instructions and Postmaster Hertz is looking for a copy of the order shortly. The new rule regarding money orders will prove a great convenience t,o the pub lic, and will make the orders partake more of the nature of currency than they have ever done before. The new rule will be that money orders issued at a postoffiiee can also be cashed at the same office that they are drawn from, This is a decidedly new departure and will prove, as stated, a great convenience to the public. The convenience can be il lustrated as follows: Suppose a person liv ing in the city desired to pay a person a sum of money living in V'ineviUe. The party in town could buy a money order and mail it to. the party in the suburbs. The latter could get the order cashed at the Macon postoffice. This, as will be seen, at first glance, would save the party in Macon the trouble of sending a cheek or the money out to Vineville. The money order would act as a receipt for person Nq, 1, Maney orders have been used for some time as a medium of ex change at the clearing house, and now they will be usde to a much greater ex tent by the public than ever before These money orders may now used, for illustration, in paymen;, of gas bills, merchants’ and grocers., bills, etc. In smaller places the person indebted to a farmer may have an order drawn in fa vor of the latter payable to him by a neighbor who obtains and delivers the mail for the neighborhood, she entire cost, aay for ten dollars, being but 19 cents.

APPEARED WELL PLEASED But Did Not Commit Themselves to Anything About What They Saw. General Schwann and the commission appointed to investigate the sites for the encampment of troops in the South is here today. They arrived in the city on the train from Savannah and points in South Geor gia, where they have been inspecting sites for the last few days. They were met at the Union depot this morning by Mayor 'Price and the following committee: Messrs. T. D. Tinsley, T. J. Carling, L. W. Hollingsworth. R. B. Bar ron, Henry Horne and Senator Bacon and. Congressman Bartlett. As the work of the commission here was necessarily 'to be hurried no time was lost in preliminaries. Carriages had been pre pared and the party at once proceeded to Ceuitral City park, more properly knoWin on such an occasion as Camp Price, where the admirable site was seen by 'the com mission. They went very carefully into all the detail and investigated everything. The members of the commission while committing themselves to nothing were not sparing in their praise of the place as a site for a camp. The splendid record for health that was made iby the Third regi ment under Colonel Ray while it was en camped there is much tin the favor of this camping site. There is an ample supply of both the city water and a splendid well. The city offers the ground, the buildings and every thing that the soldiers may need. The splendid buildings on the grounds suffi cient for the needs of a very large force struck the commission as a very strong addition to the advantages of this site. All the members of the commission were, however, very guarded in their ex pressions of opinion. Personally they seemed to be struck tby the advantages of the site, but officially they were extremely impartial as between tehis site and any others ithiat they have visited. The park, however, showed up to the very best ad vantage. After seeing Camp Price and going over the ground very carefully the commission was driven out to the lands of the Ocmul gee Land and Improvement Company, where they were shown several most at tractive sites on the high land overlooking Macon and the surrounding country, It was evident that here too the com mission was interested lo say the least of it as the place and the sites they were shown from which selection might be made would be very hard indeed to surpass for the purpose. While the grounds here lack some of the improvements of Camp Price and are further aw r ay from 'the city still the in ducements are equally as great so far as the offer on the part of the land owners is concerned. Here, as at Camp Price, the commission is offered the site free with amply water supply. .Macon is now in a position to furnish this supply better than she was when Colonel Ray was here with his regiment as the new pumping station and filters are in perfect working order and can supply water in any quantity, in fact more than twice as much, afe Macon now needs. Brigadier General Theodore Schwann is president of the board. His aide is Lieu tenant G. T. Summerlin, of the Eighth cavalry. The other .members of the board ar£ Colonel O’Reilly, chief surgeon of the Fourth army corps, with headquarters at Huntsville; Lieutenant Colonel F, G. Hodgson, of the quartermaster's , depart ment at Washington; Captain W. E. Cralghlll, of the Engineering corps, who is chief of the government works at Wil mington, and Captain Dodds, of the Ninth infantry, who is acting advocate of the de partment of the Gulf, and also by reason of his being teh junior member, recorder of the 'board. Macon is by no means the only place the board will report upon to the war depart ment. It is the twelfth already that has been visited, and it is said there are as many as yet to be inspected. When it is considered that only three or feqr earn’? are to be established, it may readily be seen 'that (Macon's chance of getting troops camped here are by no means certain. The war department did not order the board to visit the city. It was decided by the board that Macon should be included in its itineracy, but it is said this will have effect with the war department w v en comes .to making a selection. ks t h/board .was given full discretion io visit p]ace tt might see fit vlsit> in addition those prescribed in orders received from the department. Th camp board bgan its work at Hunts ville, Ala. It was at that place 'that the officers assembled. One day was spent there looking over sites in the vicinity From Huntsville the officers went to An niston. Then the following cities were i taken in the order named: Atlanta, Opelika, Columbus, Warm Springs, Amer icus, Albany, Thomasville, Waycross and Savannah, The commissioners left this morning at half past eleven o’clock on a special train over the Macon and Northern for Athens. They expressed themselves as highly pleased with the camp sites around Macon and it is very probable that they will 'lo cate here. It is probable that a regiment of cavalry will be stationed at Ocmulgee park shat a regiment of infantry will be camped at Camp Price. i The gentlemen who accompanied the commissioners told them to name the things they wasted and that any demands which they would make would be acceded to. The gentlemen who accompanied the commission feel sure that they will make a favorable report and that Macon will have at least two regiments here during the winter.
