Dorps Headquarters Move to

iiOTICE GIVES YESTERDAY
i Review of Colored Troops Held
r Tuesday-News of th»
Camps.
I By Aa*oclated Pre«*.
I Washington. Dec. Sl.-rOrdem have been
i-sued for the dispatch of additional troops
to r ' utja t 0 assist in the maintenance of
good government there.
The orders were addressed to Major
General Wilson, commanding first corps
su Macon Ga. The secretary of war di
rects the headquarters of that corps,
originally fixed for Cienfuegcs, Cuba, to
be changed to Matanzas and that General
Wilson, with the headquarters'and Eighth
Massachusetts, One Hundred and Sixtieth
Indiana and Third Kentucky volunteer
infantry be put In readiness for transpor
tation to Cuba. In a subsequent order
General V. ilaon was directed proceed with
headqmrtere and equipment from Macon
to -avinnah in time to embark on the
Panama. The Third Kentucky and Eighth
Massachusetts will embark from Savannah
on transports to be provided and the One
Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana will proceed
do Charleston, one battalion at a time and
embark on the Saratoga.
General 1 James H. Wilson and stuff will
leave Macon Wednesday or Thursday for
Matanzas, Cuba, The orders came ill yes
terday afternoon at 5 o'clock. They direct
an immediate departure of General* Wilson
and the orderlies will begin work today
arranging for the trip.
With General 'Wilson will go the One
Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana and the
Third Kentucky from Columbus and the
Eighth Massachusetts from Americus.
All of these will embark from Savannah
with the exception of the Massachusetts
regiment, which will embark from Char
leston.
General Wilson and staff will sail on the
transport Panama, which will arrive in
'Savannah cn Monday. The orders did not
specify any time for the movement of the
troops now in Macon, but General Wilson
«aid the soldiers would be moved from
here as soon as practicable. After the
departure of General Wilson General W.
W. Gordon, commander of the second bri
gade. will be in command of the division
•and will have his headquarters at his
camp. He is the ranking brigadier gen
eral of the first division. Some time ago
there was a question up in regard to the
rank of General Gordon anil General Mc-
Kee. but it was decided that General Gor
don was the ranking man.
The corps headquarters presented a very
busy seene # this mttrninV- as the copies of
the orders which were received had to be
sent to all of the colonels of the different
regiments at Albany, Columbus and
Americus. The officers at the headquar
ters seem anxious to get off to Cuba, and
<are hurrying their 'work so as to be ready
when the time comes.
The transport Panama, which is to con
vey the soldiers, is at present on her way
back from Cuba and will get into Savan
nah about Monday and the headquarters
will leave as soon as possible after,-that
time.
The news of the departure, when made
known in the camps, created a great deal
of excitement. So far no definite orders
have come in regard to the departure of
the infantry regiments stationed here, but
they are liable to come at any time and
are kept in a state of excitement.
The good weather continues and it tends
to make camp life, which since the cold
weather has set in was very disagreeable,
more pleasant and the men all seem to be
enjoying it. The rain which fell early
this morning only sprinkled the dust
around the camps and did not make them
muddy, as usual. The regular weekly in
spection will be held in all of the camps
tomorrow, and. as one of the officers said
last night, it may be the last one ever
hold in Macon.
The soldiers of Company F all regret to
see Captain Hardee leave. He was an ex
cellent officer and was very kind to his
men ami took a great interest in his com
pany.
The provost guards have had very little
trouble recently and the negro soldiers of
the Third North Carolina and the Sixth
Virginia seem to have quieted down to
some extent. It is not known when they
will be mustered out, but it is thought
that it will be done before the other troops
depart for Cuba.
The fact that General Gordon is io com
t land after the departure of General Wil
son is received favorably by all of the
troops, as he is one of the most popular
officers of the first army corps.
Major domes O. Yarnadoe will leave to
night for Cuba to join General Bates. He
is the chief commissary of the first divi
sion of the first army corps.
General James H. Wilson will have an
other review of the troops before he leaves
for Cuba. He has decided on the day of
his departure and will leave on Wednes
day, January 4. On Tuesday he will re
view the colored troops now stationed in
Macon. The review will be held on the
streets of Macon as have other reviews
and will no doubt be a pretty sight.
Since being in Macon'all of the troops
have greatly improved in drill and it is
expected, that the soldiers will make an
excellent showing on Tuesday when they
pass in front of the general, who will be
at the intersection of Second and Cherry
streets.
The white troops will not participate in
the review. No reason is given for this
at the headquarters, but it is thought
j that the general will inspect them in their
camps.
Genera! Wilson paid the Second Ohio
regiment a visit last evening and witness
ed dress parade, which was followed by a
brief drill. The general seemed well
pleased with the execution of the move
; merits.
The decorating craze has become epi
demic, and by New Years every company
j street will be bedecked with evergreen and
; holly. The design*, In many instance*.
! display considerable -art and ingenuity. It
| will be well worth a trip to the camp to
; see them.
Company A had a conflagration yester
day. The tent occupied <hy Corporal Den-
I nisen and Private Martin caught fire from
a stove and was entirely destroyed. The
individual property of the men was saved
from the ruins.
The Butt's manuel of silent drill has
been taken up in this regiment and the
men are working hard to become perfect
I in the difficult movements.
Lieutentn Robert Webster, regimental
ordnance officer, returned* yesterday from
a short visit to his heme in Van Wert. 0.

THE INDUSTRIAL HOME
Remarkable Success Being Achieved by Rev.
Mr. Mumford.
Rev. W. E. Mumford is certainly making
! remarkable headway with his noble work
of founding “The Georgia Industrial
Home” for indigent orphans and children.
“We never know what can be done ’till
we try,” he says and hi* effort and the
success he is meeting evidence this fact.
In the prime of his manhood he feels he
has been impressed and called to do a
' work that no other man.* in Georgia has
I ever undertaken. Usually such instituting
are started by the generosity of one man.
1 but Mr. '.Mumford has consecrated his
; time, talents and energy and proposes to
found this home by popular and private
i benevoleqce. He believes this to be the
best way to do anything Os that sort as
j no man is ever hurt by his interest in a
i great benevolence. It is very gratifying to
; all lovers of unselfish devotion to others
that 'Mr. Mumford’s success in soliciting
aid has been almost • miraculous. In two
weeks, without any very great effort, over
seventeen hundred dollars have gone down
: in his subscription list from ninety-eight
people in the city of Macon. He does not
propose to move out of this city and ask
aid of other communities in the state until
the 'Home is established. Three thousand
dollars will start the enterprise Cery nicely
and it is thought that this amount should
be reached easily in the next two waeks.
St. Omer Commandery, Knights Temp
lar, at the annual banquet Decehnber 26,
gave the collection taken to Mr. Mumford’s
cause and thiis was a neat unsolicited en
dorsement from a band of noblemen com
mitted to the advancement of all that is
best in us.
Mr. Henry J. Lamar sent a subscription
of two hundred and fifty dollars on Christ
mas day saying in his note that he “did
not know how I could better celebrate the
day." “He is,” says Mr. Mumford, “so
far the largest individual subscriber, and
his noble deed to the starting of this re
markable benevolence will go down in
Georgia’s history, as will the work of all
the original subscribers to this Home. If
the same is a success, and it is bound to
succeed greatly—those who help to start
the work will make history in this grand
old state.”
The News hopes to announce the location
of the Home in another week.
The following are the subscriptions
given since the last report:
H. J. Lamar $ 250 00

“There are gentlemen in Macon.” says
Mr. Mumford, “who could easily give SSOO
to this HJme and never miss it. but there
i are hundreds who could give $5 and $lO.
I Already these are the popular amounts and
I many are responding to them. One head
of a prominent dry goods house told Mr.
! Mumford that he would give as much as
| anybody and his name does not as yet ap
pear but it will bye and bye, for he is
known to have a big heart.
It will be seen to that the list of sub
scribers comprise all classes of our citi
zens, showing that men can get together
in behalf of a great charity. No subscrip
tion made seems to be more appreciated
| than that by Rabbi Marcuson and it came
voluntarily. The Kn-ight Templars’ amount
was small also, but greatly appreciated
because of the endorsement and sentiment
I behind it.”
JUDGE ROSS’ LAST DAY.
Close of His Term' as Judge of the City
Court.
Today is Judge Ross" last day as
of the city court. On Monday Judge W, D.
Nottingham will take charge and will be
gin the regular session of court.
Only one case was tried in the city court
this morning. It was that of Lulu Durham
’ on the charge of larceny from the person
and. she was sentenced to four months on
I the chaingang or to pay a fine of S4O.
Judge Ross will begin his duties as
special master in the Southern railway
suit as soon as possible. It will take some
time to take the testimony and. it is a verv
i hard position to fill.
MACON NEWS SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31 1898.

The Year of 1898 One of Citvj
Development.
GREAT STREET WORK ROME.
*
A Record of Health that has Never
Been Surpassed by Any City
of the Country.
There are few eiti€3 in the country that i
can boast cf the pluck and enterprise
which Macon has shown during the year
which will come to a dose in the next few
hours, and the record for the past twelve j
months is one of which every citizen is
proud.
During the year nearly every business j
syeet in the city has been paved. This 1
fact alone is a great thing for a city of ;
Macon’s size. The pavement put down is j
the best that could be had and is the sub- j
ject of much favorable comment from all
persons who visit the city. The streets 1
which are now paved are as follows:
Cherry, from Fi/th to Cotton avenue;
Third, from Mulberry to Poplar; Poplar,
from Fourth to Cotton avenue; Fourth,
from Plum to Ocmulgee; Ocmulgee, from
Second to Fifth; Second, from Third to
Cherry. These streets are all paved with
either the granite cubes or the vitrified
brick, while there are numerous streets
paved 'with the.roQk cement.
The number of building permits -issued
this year is exceedingly large, and it goes
to show that the city is making progress
in The manner of buildings as well as in
other lines.
The health record of the city has been
wonderful and it is not surpassed by any
city in America. Seventy-five hundred
soldiers have - been encamped in the city
for two months and during that time only
two have died from disease and that dis
ease was not contagious.
In October Macon’s Diamond Jubilee-car
nival afforded another evidence of city’s
enterprise and pluck. It brought large
crowds to the city and the things presented
here during those three gala days were a
great help to the city and have done much
toward giving Macon an enviable reputa
tion.
Macon's progress has not yet come to
an end. The city forces are still busy at
work on the streets and when the month
of June, 1899 comes the streets will be
pav and the appearance of the town
greatly changed.

MR. VREDENBURGH
Will Return to the First Presbyterian To
morrow.
Mr. John S. Vredenburgh, who made so
many friends here a year ago last spring,

terian church, has been induced to return
to Macon the early part of January* It

but he will begin at the First Presbyte
rian church on 1 Sunday and continue
through next week at the least. He will
speak Sunday night at 7:30 and possibly
in the afternoon. The definite announce
ment will be made at the morning service.
Owing to the song services recently in
stituted Sunday night, the attendance at
the night services at the First Presbyte
rian church has largely -increased of late,
and large numbers of soldiers are finding
a warm welcome there. And she attract
iveness of these' services will be much
more increased tomorrow', with Mr . Ar- |

RECEIPTS FALLING OFF.
Noticeable Decrease in Cotton for the Past
Month.
Receipts of cotJfm in Savannah have
been failing off this month to such an ex
tent as to attract attention. When the !
month opened there were receipts to Sa
van nail's credit of 653.607 bales, against ;
644.278 bales last year, making an increase
of 0.320 bales. Since then, though, there J
has been a falling off in the receipts, com
pared with last December, of 45,067 bales. |
the receipts up to to ’night being 814,045 i
bales, against 850.683 bales last rear, a !
decrease for the season to Aaje of 30.8%
bales. There appears to be somewhat of a
difference of opinion as to the exact cause j
of this, and the probability of the decrease :
being either wiped out or made larger be- i
tween now and the close of the season. I
Some think that there has, been a decrease
in the crop in the Savannah territory and
that it is now becoming apparent in the
decrease in the receipts, while others as
cribe the recent falling off in the cotton j
sent here to the tendency of the interior I
merchants to hold back cotton, owing to
the suffer tone of the market, with the
hope of getting higher figures. No one
ascribes it to any diversion of cotton that 1
should come to Savannah to other ports.—
