THE RIOT!
Trial of a Policeman for Shooting!
The Case Discharged.
Mr. John M. Alley, of the regular police
force, was brought up before Justice E. Spriuz
this morning upon the charge of having Hied
at Hartwell Epps and Bam Coleman (col) dur
ing the recent riot.
Epps being sworn, testiiied —At the time of
the shooting we left the polls and went in the
direction of the Presbyterian church, and when
half-way across the street looked around and
saw the prisoner shooting in the direction of
Coleman and myself. He shot three timcß in
the direction of me. Prisoner was not in the
crowd, he was standing near the polls; witnoss
Is 17 years old and did not try to vote that
day; prisoner was the last man that shot.
Abram Kitchens, sworn—l was standing near
the Court-house and the Btubblefleld houBC,
and saw Epps and Coleman running across the
street; saw Mr. Alley shooting at them; he
was standing about Are feet from the steps as
you go down to the polls; the first time pris
oner ahot at Epps, Epps dodged and run;
when witnesa last saw Epps he was running in
the same direction that Coleman was running:
witness did not look back after he began to
run, which was after the second shot; witness
kept his eye on the prisoner all the time, and
and saw him shoot four times before the wit
ness ran; Alley was dressed in Nassau blue.
Sam Coleman, sworn—After the shooting
witness started across the street with Epps
and Coleman; when we got about half way
across the street going towards the Presbyte
rian church, I stopped and looked back and
saw prisoner shoot; shot one time towards
witness and three times towards Epps, who
dodged. Prisoner was a little ways from the
steps as you go down to the polls. At the
time of the shooting I said to Epps—its
deTilish protection we are getting when the
police shoot at the people.
Cross-examined. —At the time the shooting
commenced witness ran towards the Presbyte
rian church. Don’t say that prisoner shot at
me, hut shot in the direction of me; did not
hit me; prisoner shot three times towards
Eppe, one time towards witness. Was about
5 feet from Epps When we passed the police.
When the disturbance first commenced, wit
ness was standing in the bottom ; did not see
prisoner when he first got to the wall after the
firing commenced—Epps and witness was in
the bottom together before the shooting.
When witness got to the church, they wera
still firing at the Court House; heard pistol
shots.
The defence here introduced witnesses.
Mr. John G. Delta, sworn—Was at the polls
on the day of election during the shooting;
eaw prisoner prior to the shooting; was be
tween the embankment and the branch in the
vicinity of the negro who picked up the first
brick. During tbe firing did not ace prisoner,
but when it ceased, turned around and picked
prisoner up and asked him if he was hurt. He
said no. (He had been run over by the crowd.)
Saw no wcapoi in his hand but hia club, and
hslped him to look for his hat; at that time
there were very few shots fired; prisoner was
at the polls when I picked him up; don’t knew
what became of him after that. After parting
with the prisoner I went to the sidewalk. Pris
oner could not have been in the position that
the witness for the State swears that he was at
that time; couldn’t have gone upon the embank
ment and done the firing that tha witnesses tes
tified to; witness was there until the firing was
over; if prisoner had been there he would have
seen him. After witness left prisoner, there
wss no such flnng; was only a scattering shot
In a different direction from the place that the
witnesses for the State testified to. There
were several police there that day dressed in
the police uniform.
J. B. Simpson, sworn—Was not at the polls
at tha time the shooting commenced, but got
there at the time the heaviest firing was going
on; I went through the crowd to the polls. I
met prisoner; he had no weapon in his hand,
pistol nor nothing else; he was standing near
the poll window. Tbe firing had ceased at the
time I met the prisoner.
L. B. Pike, sworn—Was at the polls on the
morning of the election; saw a great deal of
fighting and shoving about the poll window;
there were several negroes trying to push the
whites away, when someone called to tbe po
lice to preserve order; prisoner came down and
one of the negroes attempted to push prisoner
away; prisoner had a clnb in his hand to
stop the negro from hitting him, as he was
attempting to do; while that excitement was
going on, a brick was thrown from the colored
crowd. By that time, prisoner turned to take
the negro out of the crowd; immediately after
wards the firing commenced. I was carried
about halfway up the embankment by the
crowd of negroes rushing by me; when I looked
around I saw prisoner in the same place that lie
was before tbe firing commenced; I was there
when the first shot was fired, and stayed there
until the last; the prisoner bad not reached
the top of the embankment at any time that I
wa there. The prisoner could not havegotto
the embankment and fired the shots that the
witnesses for the State testifies to. The firing
tested about fifteen seconds.
After snmming up the evidence, Mr. Alley
wss acquitted.
Bammum’s Snow.—From a letter received
this morning from P. T. Baraum, we leam
that his great show will be in Macon this Win
ter. It will be the grandest show that has
ever been seen in the South.

Mayor’s Covet.—'There was not a single
case before his llouor tills morning. The
court-room looked aa hare aa possible, and the
officers were as smiling aa a basket of chips.
.
Wk Do Not Believe It —That the Macon
boys hollow out mosquitoes and put a small
piece of burning cuudlc in them, and use them
as Chinese lanterns.
Wc find the above in the Atlanta Constitu
tion of this morning. We can inform Bro
Whidby that it 1b not true, but Watson, of
the Telegi aph, wears a hut made from the fur
on the upper lip of an Atlanta gallinipper ami
calls it a beaver.
They say that the Greeley party never would
have carried Fulton county, but for the fact
that they dressed up the Ponce de Leon mos
quitos and voted them as Democrats. The
biggest mosquito wc know of is the fellow
who drives the quill for the local column of the
Constitution.
The City.-—There was a painful gloom on
the countenances of our citizens tills morning
over the political news from the Northern
States which held elections yesterday. It
seemed to be conceded that the outlook favor
ed, if it did not render eertuin, the re-election
of Grant. But later news may put anew phase
upon wliat now seems the worst sort of pros
pects for the triumph of the Liberal ticket on
the full of November. And everyone congrat
ulated liinisulf that no matter how that election
went, the State of Georgia was all right for ttie
next four years.
It is universally remarked that our fall trade
is backward, money is still scarce for the sea
son, ami business not so satisfactory as wc hail
a right to expect. This is readily explained
by the expression of tlic fact that the first sales
of cotton go into tbe vaults of banks for can
cellation of drafts, liens and advances upon
the growing crop; when tiicse arc all paid off,
all sales thereafter will go directly into the
market, into general circulation, will revive
trade and make matters easy all around.
Society News.— For a week or so past,
tliose that were ill the secret, have been en
gaged in getting all tliose little tilings, such as
invitations, w reaths, etc., ready for the mar
riage. The young groom, who, by-tlie-way, is
a model young man, has been the recipient of
congratulations ami an object of interest to
those who heard so-and-so snv lie was to be
married shortly, lie bore it well, however, for
lie was confident of securing a prize in his bride.
At half-past six, last evening, the marriage took
place at Mulberry street Methodist Church.—
Quite a number of the friends of the bride and
groom were there as early as six o’clock.—
When the hour came, the organ gave fortli its
grandest music, and the bridal party passed
down the centre aisle of the church and took
their position.
The bride wore a white organdy overskirt,
trimmed with Valenciennes lace and ruffles and
orange blossoms, and a soft illusion veil adorn
ing her beautiful hair. The bridesmaids were
dressed in white organdies and tarletons. The
gentlemen were in full evening dress suits.
The following were the attendants :
Mr. Ed. D. Duncan, Mi6S Eunice Thomson,
Mr. R. R. Evans, Miss Clara Wells,
Mr. Henry Woodruff', Miss Carrie Woodson,
Mr. B. E. Grimes, Miss Ella Woodruff,
Mr. R. Morrison Rogers,Miss Lucy Howes,
Mr. Walter T. Ross. Miss Minnie Jackson,
The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. O.
Branch. The happy couple left on the ten
o’clock train for Atlanta for a brief bridal trip
to Tennessee. Their names: Mr. Win. M.
Good and Miss Maggie B. Freeman.
“ Oh! they are blest indeed, and swift the
hours
Till her young sisters wreath her hair in flow
ers.
Then before all they stand ; the holy vow,
And ring of gold—no fond illusions now—
Bind her as his. Across the threshold led,
And every tear kissed off as soon ns shed,
liis house slic enters, there to be a light,
Shining within when all without is night;
A guardian angel o’er his life presiding.
Doubling his pleasure, and his cares dividing!
How oft her eyes read his; her gentle mind
To ail his wishes, all his thoughts inclined,
Still subject—ever on the watch to borrow
Mirth of bis mirth, and sorrow of bis sorrow—
The soul of music slumbers in the shell
Till waked to rapture by the master’s spell;
And feeling hearts—touch them but rightly,
pour
A thousand melodies unheard before.”
Ohanobs at W. P. Carlos’.
The Great Dry Goods House or 8.
Waxelbaum and Brother. —This mammoth
Dry Goods House is truly one of the greatest
in all the Southern country. We doubt if
there are many which are more extensive on
the North American continent outside of New
York and Philadelphia, and even in those
cities there are not many carrying heavier
stocks or doing a larger trade.
Occupying the centre of Triangular Block—
running through from Second street to Cot
ton Avenue, and from cellar to roof, there are
live grand divisions to the establishment.
The cellars or ground rooms are used for
packing and unpacking goods for all depart
ments and for the storage of Domestics.
The right hand floor above is the chief whole
sale department, and here we find a ship load
of Prints, Domesticß, Alpaccas of all colors,
Janes, Bleachings, Shirtings, Stripes, Checks,
Ginghams, Fancy Dress Goods, Ked and White
Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown
Coods, Corsets, Linseys, Poplins, and so on,
running through the entire catalogue.
On the left is the general Retail Room, and a
busy scene it always presents, morning, noon
and night. It would be much easier to tell
what is not in there than what is. It contains
among other things the largest stock of silks
in Georgia—some of them running aB high as
1100 per pattern. Our ladles can find anything
there from an inch of ribbon to a cashmere
shawl.
The two floors above are set apart for ready
made clothing, boots, shoes, liata, shawls,
hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, balmoral skirts,
cloaks, blankets, quilts and notions ad infini
tum.
But it is useless to call every article by name,
it would take up half the space In our paper.
Dealers must go and see for themselves. A su
perficial glance makes one think there is
enough on baud to supply the whole trade of
Macon for months to come, and yet so great is
the trade of the house, it is necessary to send
ofl' new orders! for fresh supplies almost every
day in the week. Scarcely a steamer leaves
New York for Savannah without having con
signments for “S. W. & 8., Macon.”
The Senior requests us to make the positive
statement as a fact that t/iey tell at New York
price*.
We found the house this morning full of
country merchants and citizens, and every clerk
just as busy a* he could be; and no wonder,
for such a stock as that will attract people to it
the dullest day in the week, and at this season
no one wishing to purchase will go by it.
A targe capital, industry, the most scrupu
lous honor, and a long series of years devoted
to the business, has placed tills bouse in the
front rand of Dry Goods Dealers in Georgia. It
is known far and wide as such and will continue
to b for a long time to come. octfl-3w
