Where He Practiced Law and After

City Court of Atlanta.
Judge Marshall J. Clarke died yesterday
afternoon at 4 o’clock at his residence, 320
Washington street, death being the result
of a stroke of paralysis caused by Bright’s
cftsease with which he*had been suffering
tor aeveral months, which was received
while he was in the superior court room

H o’clock.
The fun.-ral arrangements have not as

Florence Ormond, and hie nephew, Mr. W.
whi« h Judge Clarke was a member. The
interment will occur the same afternoon.
, _ Judge Clarke is survived by his sisters,
Mrs. J. P. Logan and Mias Eugenia Clarke;
his nieces, Mrs. J. D. Hay, Mrs. W. R.
Hammond, Mrs. H. S. Johnson and Mrs.
Florence Ormond, and his nephew, Mr. W.
T. Rawson.
Judge Marshall Johnson Clarke was a
native Gtorgian and was born in the town
of Lumpkin, in Stewart county, June 27,
1839.
Hl« father, James Clarke, was a man of
splendid legal attainments, as well as a
planter, successful and widely known. He
came into political prominence in the state
in 1850 as a member of the platform con
vention, in which he took an active and
principal part. 1 I
Judge Clarke was of English extraction;
his ancestors on his father's side coming
to this country I-n early colonial days and
wore recognized wherever they settled as
sturdy, upright and highly intelligent
people. ' " ' '' *
The boyhood of Judge Clarke was spent
in the county of Stewart, where he grew to
manhood respected by all who knew him.
In 1855 ho connected himself -with Mercer
university, at Macon, Ga., where he Anally
received bls degree with distinction, after
a course of hard and diligent (study. Re
turning from college. Judge Clarke set
tled In his native town of Lumpkin, where
he began the practice of law under the di
rection of his father, who. however, had
retired at that time from the profession.
Ltfter the study of a few months unedr
the advice of hl« father, he was admitted
1o the Georgia bar, but for a time his in
clinations took another direction and he
preferred the life of teaching to the active
. and endless excitement of the courtroom".
Judge Clarke’s father moved, to Atlanta
1n 1859 ami his family came to this city to
Jive.
Tn order to prepare himself better for
the profession of teaching, the young stu
dent determined to spend one year in charge
of a select school for boys, and afterwards
to go to Europe to At himself in the high
er branches of education. In January,
1861, he took charge of a school in Harris
county, but the South becoming involved
tn war, he returned to this city after the
lapse of ten months for the purpose of
completing his education abroad.
Instead of taking bin trip to Europe,
’however, he enlisted in the Confederate
army as a private in company H, Fifty
sixth Georgia regiment, but was afterwards
attached to the staff of General Tom Tay
lor in the capacity of secretary.
In 1863 his health was entirely broken
down; Hieing of frail constitution, the hard
ships of war easily placed him in the
position of non-combatant, although very
greatly against his will and desire. After
spendingsome time in Atlanta with his fam
ily, ho again entered the service, this time
as a member of the staff of General Ira
Foster, then quartermaster of the state
of Georgia. In this position Judge Clarke
remained until the close of the war.
‘Upon the departure of General Sherman
from the South Judge Clarke determined
to devote himself to the practice of law,
and with this idea, ‘he opened an office for
the purpose in the city of Macon in March,
1866. By hard labor and careful attention
io his clients, he rose rapidly in the profes
sion and son became recognized as one of
the most successful attorneys at the Ma
con bar.
Remaining in the practice until January.
1885, he was appointed judge of the city
court of Atlanta, the honor coming to him
unsolicited and unsought.
Judge Clarke held this position for one
year, ami at the expiration of this time he
was appointed on the bench as judge of
the Atlanta circuit. This position he held
until the fall of 1893, when he resigned.
wi»h still three years and a half before
him, having at the time just entered upon
the duties of a no-w t°rm.
Judge Clarke tendered bis resignation in
order to once more enter the Held of active
practice, having gained from his time
spent on the bench a ripe experience,
which ai once marked him as one of the
strongest and ablest attorneys in the city
of Atlanta. His work as judge was char
acterized by a fearless discharge of duty
and with an utter disregard for person.
His legal decisions were rendered with a
clear and comprehensive insight into tne
law appertaining to a particular case and
In a fluent and interestink style. No judge
of the superior court in Georgia ever
donned ermine of judge with less fear
or more pronounced fide’dy to his trust.
It is remarkable how few of the decis
ions of Judge Clarke were reversed by a
higher court, showing better than other
standard how much of his energy and tire
less study he gave to his life work. He
never aspired to political distinciton. al
though time and again pressed into this or
that race.
He was one of the earliest promoters of
the Young Men’s Christian Association,
and for a number of years was a member
of the board of directors of that institu
tion.
A consecrated member of the Baptist
church, he held his faith above all else,
adding to his excellent attainments as a
lawyer the simplicity of a Christian gen
tleman. * . - ,i

OLD ’ENEMIES
On the Minstrel Stage Have
Joined Hands and Talents.
Minstrelsy is booming this year as high
as the martial ardor of the Rough Riders
at Santiago.
It is natural and in harmony with the
times. War has aroused the love of all
Americans for the admirable things pecu
liar to their country. Nothing is more
distinctively .American than minstrelsy,
pnd it is eminently Atting and proper that
•the love of the people for this superlative
form of entertainment should well up and
'bubble over in enthusiastic demonstra
tions of approval.
There are many heroes of the Spanish
war, but there "are only two heroes of
minstrelsy, battle-scarred veterans, W. S.
Cleveland and George Wilson. They were
opposed once, but now they are united for
the good of the public and themselves and
their triumphant, forces are allied.
Cleveland is on the bridge as manager,
while Wilson is the admiral on the stage.
John Queen and E. M. Hall are with
them, beside at host of other great min
strels of national reputation who combine
to give the greatest minstrel show that
was ever conceived in the mind of an
amusement genius. The specialties that
make up the second part would alone
make the fortune of two ordinary compa
nies. The public has shown its knowledge
and appreciation of this best of good
things by attending every performance to
the limits of the theatres. The Cleveland-
Wilson minstrels will be here on Wed
nesday next.

SHEARER BOUND OVER
To the United States Court this Morn
ing.
Thomas Shearer, the man who was ar
rested by Detective Clark a few days ago,
was bound over to the United States
court this morning on the charge of in
tending to use counterfeit money. Shearer
has been here for several weeks and has
been playing a slick game on the igno
rant negroes of this city.
He offered to give them ten dollars for
one, and in many cases he secured the
money readily enough as the negroes were
unable to se through his scheme. Some of
them grew suspicious, however, and re
ported the matter to the detectives and
they went to work on rhe case at once. He
was arrested and the detectives were dis
inclined to believe him guilty at first and
he was released but several men were put
out to spot him.
The spotters found out that he was a
genuine green goods man and the officers
arrested him again. When searched it was
found that he had bogus cheeks to the
amount of $35,000 on his person and that
he had a number of ’’confidential” letters.
After hearing the evidence in the case
this morning Judge Freeman bound him
over to the United tSates court under a
bond of SSOO. 'Detective Clark was instruc
ted to tell the deputy marshall that if the
United States court failed to convict him
tha he <was wanted again at the police
station on the charge of cheating and
swindling.
Shearer is a shrewd man and looks as if
he had been in the confidence business for
some time. He represented him self in the
police station this morning and bis exam-
I inaction of witnesses was amusing at times.

Senator (Bacon received a telegram from
the Adjutant General yesterday stating
that the commanding officer at Macon was

It is thought that he is accompanied by
a board of officers. They are expected on
every train and so far nothing definite can
be learned of their whereabouts. The rail
roads have received no information as to
their coming and none of the city officials
have received any notice.
It is thought, however, that they left
Washington yesterday and that they will

early tomorrow morning.
COLOSSAL COMPACT.
Consolidation of the Great Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers’ Shows.
The magnitude and consequences in
volved in the uniting of the two great
former arenic rivals above named are
such as to naturally excite incredulity,
and some badly frightened and interested
parties have not scrupled to attempt fo
menting the same by bald misrepresenta
tion and detraction. Against these may be
interposed the crushing testimony of hun
dreds of reliable newspapers in over a
hundred cities, but the following from the
New York Sun will more than suffice:
“Mr. J. A. Bailey, who controls the
Barnum & Bailey show, and is the sole
owner of the Adam Forepaugh show, has
acquired an interest with the Sells Broth
ers, and hereafter the Forepaugh and
Sells shows will be under the same tents.
The. Sells Brothers, consisting of Eph
raim, Lewis and Peter Sells, are among
the wealthiest showmen in the country.
The .Barnum & Bailey show will be an
ally of the new combination.”
The recognition accorded to the Sells
Brothers’ show by the extraordinary com
pact above outlined, gives it a world-wide
prestige, in addition to the unexcelled one
it has for a quarter of a century steadily
maintained and Increased wherever it has
exhibited. Among the world’s three
greatest shows it is recognized as an
equal, and what is of greater moment to
the public, one of them is now combined
with it, the result being self-evidently
such a formidable exhibition of its kind '
as would be impossible in any other coun
try or to any other partnership of arenic
managers and proprietors. Os the greater
circuses named it will be the only one to
visit Macon its date being November 10,
and people are not likely to patronize in
ferior shows with such a double bill of
varied and colossal amusement in sight.
The wild beasts forthcoming include the
biggest and rarest combined zoological
collections ever exhibited. The hippo
drome and circus performances are pro
portionately superior and sensational,
presenting a hundred high-class races and
bareback equestrian, aerial, acrobatic,
comical and novel acts, introducing the
very best amphitheatrlcal and arenic
talent in the world, besides droves, fam
ilies and aquariums of amazingly amus
ingly trained beasts and amphibia. The
morning parade is pronounced a wonder
in magnitude and magnificence, and the
entire enterprise a gigantic, high-class
and irresistible success.

INVITATION TO NEGROES
Extended by the Prohibitionists to the Ne
groes Tonight.
The prohibition service at the tent in
the rear of the Mulberry Methodist church
last night was attended by about 150 peo
ple.
The inclement weather kept away many
who would have gone. A hard rain fell
all during the service and made it rather
uncomfortable for the congregation but
they stood the rain rather than leave the
tent. Dr. Lee was at his best and preach
ed one of the best sermons heard in the
city in some time.
He did not touch upon the prohibition
question much, but .preached an excellent
sermon. His text was “What Shall it Pro
fit a Man if he gain the Whole World and
lose His Own Soul.” He held the congre
gation spell bound throughout the time he
was preaching and the sermon was enjoyed
by everybody present.
Before beginning the sermon Dr. Lee
stated that the impression had gotten out
among the colored people that they were
not wanted at the meeting tonight. He
said that several had told him that they
had heard that they were not wanted. He
announced last night that he wanted to
correct that impression. He said that he
wanted every colored person in the city
to be present at the meeting and that
seats would be reserved especially for
them. He also stated that he wanted the
white people present and that seats, would
be reserved for them.
He will address the negroes to
night on the subject of “Heaven.” It will
no doubt be an interesting sermon and
many people have signified their intention
of going. Dr. Lee says that it will be im
possible to carry on the election without
the assistance of the colored people and
that he hopes many will be present at the
meeting tonight. «
•The tent was well lighted last night and
the singing was excellent. At the end of
the meeting everybody was requested to
come forward and sign the petition that
is to be presented to the ordinary asking
for an election on the local option law.
(A few names were added to the list last
night and it is gradually increasing.
iDr. Lee stated last night that he would
not begin his talk on prohibition until
Sunday afternoon, but that he might start
on it Saturday night.
Rev. Sam ‘P. Jones is expected here in
a few days and he will again begin a
crusade against the selling of whisky.
Everything now points to the warmest
contest that has ever been held in Bibb
county and the election is sure to attract
attention throughout the state.
PANSY CIRCLE
Will Meet Tomorrow Morning
at Librarv—Will Elect
Officers.
The Pansy Circle of the Free Kinder
garten Association will hold a most impor
tant meeting in the parlor of the Public
Lbr.ary tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock.
‘At this meeting the officers put in nom
ination at the last Saturday’s meeting will
stand for election. According to the (by
laws of the Circle a nomination of officers
must be made at the meeting previous to
an election, and at the following meeting
the nominees must be received by a two
thirds vote of the Circle in order to secure
office. Accordingly, it is necessary that
every member of the Circle should attend
the meeting tomorrow morning.
In addition to the Free Kindergarten
work the IPansy Circle undertakes 'to do
general charity work among the needy
children of the city. ‘Last (Christmas the
Circle determined to go out of the beaten
track of charity workers and hunt up the
forgotten and neglected children who ■were
not even hoping for Santa Claus’ viti't. As
a result 150 Christmas stockings found
their way into homes which otherwise
would have had no hint or token of the
Christ-child’s birthday.
When it is remembered that not a mem
ber of th? Circle is over sixteen years of
age, that their work is children’s work for
children, that this training will result in
giving to Macon, ir. the future, a company
of charitable, loving-hearted, unselfish wo
men, organized for the good of the com
munity and prepared for their work by
years of systematic training, it will read
ily be seen by all right-thinking people
what a power for good the Pansy Circle is
destined to be. For this reason, wherever
these girls go they: should find, encourage
ment.
Whatever call for help, they make should
•be recognized, for their’s is not a sentimal
and an impulsive whim, but, on the con
trary, the calm, judicious and' careful
•principle of unostentatious charity, con
trolled by system and good sense.
The 'Pansy Circle deserves to (be Macon's
pet charitable organization.

MORE SUGAR NOW
Will Be Gotten for the Hard Earned Doi
lar.
Granulated sugar is now selling at nine
teen pounds for $1 and white extra C at
twenty pounds for the sl. This is a gain,
of three pounds to the dollar in favor of
the consumer. How long it will last is
not known, but the indications are said
to be that the present era of low prices
will be short-lived.
The cause of the appreciation of the
purchasing power of the dollar in this in
stance is the war that is on between the
Arbuckles and the sugar trust. The trust,
or the American Refining Company, con
trols refineries, a Bay street jobber said
yesterday, with a capacity daily of 40,000
barrels, while Arbuckle and Dorsher, the
opposition, control refineries whose output
is approximately 25,000 barrels dally. It
is rumored already that the two have
come to an agreement and that the cut
prices will be called off soon. Such being
the case, it may pay Savannahians to lay
in a supply of sugars at the present val
ues.—Savannah News.

INJUNCTION REFUSED
V3V.'_ -. I
And Another Suit Refuted by the Supreme
Court.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 21 —Judge Cox, of the
district supreme court today decided the
cases of George B. Wightman and Wil
liam H. Wharton against Secretary Gage
in -favor of the secretary of the treasury.
One spit sought an injunction and the
other a mandamus, the basis of complaint
of each being the rejection by the secre
tary of the bids submitted for the recent
war loan bonds.
Secretary Gage rejected the bids, be
lieving that the biders really represented
certain institutions. Judge Cox today held
that under the-act of congress the secre
tary had discretion in the award of the
bonds and the intent of congress was that
they should go to individuals to the ex
clusion of the banks and corporations.

Fire Prices!
This term has a world of mean-
ing when St appears in the an-
nouncement of a firm which Is
I known to keep faith with the pub-
lic. It is sometimes used to de
ceive, but the public soon learns
I to detect the counterfeit, amt the
deception reacts to the injury of
the deceiver.
We’re Honest
»
And we never try to deceive or
misrepresent in any transaction
with the people. This explains
the wonderful rui’i made upon our
Shoes since we announced our
Fire Sale of Shoes. Some goods
I in our establishment were injured
I by the combined effects of fire,
smoke and water, and we decided
at once to place them on the mar
ket for what we could get for
them. In doing this it occurred to
u» to make a general reduction
on every pair of Shoes in stock,
whether affected by fire or not.
The reductions agreed upon were
decisive and meant something out
Os the ordinary to the public.
Hence, Sales,
Enormous sales every hour of the
day for 2 weeks have resulted. A
force of 25 or more salesmen have
been kept busy all the time, and'
there is no let-up to the rush of
bargain hunters. The customers
of yesteraday come again today
and they bring their friends with
them, who, in turn, carry away
bargains and advise their friends
to do likewise.
A Fire Sale
That is 'the right kind of a Fire
Bale puts Shoes where the man l
who has realized only 4 cents for
his cotton can buy them without
having to do without other neces
sities. While his cotton Is off only
a cent or two our Shoes are off
from 50 to 33 1-3 per cent.
Rich and Poor
Can take advantage of these re
markable reductions. Our stock,
which is larger by double than
any other in (Macon, embraces all
kinds of fine, medium and com
mon goods. Shoes for men, women
boys, misses and children. Every
pair is marked down to half their
value and in some instances
lower. 4
Still Rushing
The big Fire Sale Is still ftt
white heat and everybody can be
accommodated' with the kind
of Shoes they want. When those
down stairs give out more will be
brought down on the elevator. A
perfect selection is always a< "a
ble, and a never-failing fit for all
feet.
Come Today
And bring every pair of feet in the
family that needs new Shoes. Our
new Fall and Winter Styles had
just arrived before the fire. So
come and take your pick ait Fire
Prices.
