4 JUDGE CLARKE DIED YESTERDAY Bright’s Disease Was the Pri mary Cause of the Stroke of Paralysis. Mm TEARS II MACON Where He Practiced Law and After wards Was Appointed to the 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 yesterday morning a few minutes before H o’clock. The fun.-ral arrangements have not as yet been compelled, but it is probale that the services will be conducted tomorrow 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 CA.STOXLXA..

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. C -A. O T O XL I A . Bears the The Kind Vou Have Always Bought 8 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.

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 arrive here some time during the night or 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.

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.

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.

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. WILL COME OUT ALL RIGHT. Carnival Association Will Come Out Even- Bills Are All In.

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.
