Hrties endeavor to replenish their depleted purees

tb disguise of pills, powdore, etc., was given for

H> .tetter's Stomach Bitters mado its advent, and
• entire new system of hoaling was inaugurated.
H i benfloiai effects of this valuablo preparation
at onee acknowledged, and mineral poisons

htened age has consigned them. There havo been
4ar>y spurious bitten palmed upon the community,
N »icb, after trial, have been found perfectly worih-
while Hoatettcr e 1ms proved a blessing to
Bcnsands, who owe to it their restoration to health.
per many yoars wo have watched the steady pro
of Uoatetter’e Stomach Bitters in public es-
E ion, and its bcnificent effects as a cure for all
lainta arising from the stomach of a morbid

The Bibb County School Board meets in the
Council Chamber this morning at 10 o’clock,
precisely.
Tire new apartments being bnilt at the City
Hall for Defiance Fire Company, No. 5, are
nearly finished, and the company will occnpy
them some day during the next week.
The Macon Silver Comet Band have received
their new instruments, and they are exceeding
ly beautifnl. They are a present from Mayor
W. A. Huff. ______
The city authorities are now putting stone
bridges, or rather slabs, over the gutters at the
principal crossings on cherry street. The work
is heartily approved of by all citizens who ap
preciate a good thing.
Mb. Davis Goodlok, a horse doctor and
tamer by profession, and a Tennesseean, died
near this city on Saturday last, of hemorrhage of
tho lungs.
Poisoxnto Doos.—No less than five excellent
watch dogs died yesterday from the unmistaka
ble effects of poison. They were all noted for
their sevority upon intruders on their premises
after night No doubt they were the victims
of some thief whom they had frustrated in a
design npon tho houses and thoir inmates over
whom they stood guard. We hope thoir mur
derer will be caught and executed without tho
benefit of clergy.
The Dbooth.—At the time we write no rain
has fallen in just two weeks. Tho dust in the
streets is about a foot deep and about twenty
high, atmospberio measurement. In the high
lands vegetation is shriveled, parched, dry,
lifeless. As it is about time for our gardens to
“play out” wore are not mnch put out by/heir
disappearance.
The Washington war office observations
promised ns rain two or three times last week,
and this is to notify it that the Clerk of tho
Weather let their notes go to protest.
Firemen and Jury Doty.—We understand
that an energetic correspondence is going on
between the different organized fire companies
of the State, with tho view of concerted resis
tance to the late decision of Judge Loch rune.
That decision it will be remembered, plumped
them all into the jury box. But we havo read
at least one charter of a company in this city,
which plainly tells the members they are ex
cused from sitting dumb witnesses, and “of
sole judges, not only of the law, bnt of the evi
dence, and to be borod by prosy speeches of the
gentlemen of the bar. Meetings have been
held here and elsewhere by tho firemen, result
ing in a determination to defeat the mandate of
the Chief Justice, if it can bo dono. Wo would
suggost that tbe matter bo laid before the next
Legislature, and by it definitely settled.
The Brunswick Money Again.—It should
not bo inferred from a paragraph which ap
peared in this paper on Sunday last, that all of
our merchants are refusing tho Brunswick
money. On the contrary nearly all of oar re
tailers continue to take it in trade, but nono of
them “hanker” aft6r it. It is the heavy, whole
sale dealers, who have to pay large freight bills,
who refuse it, and particularly since the money
has been rejected at tho Macon and Western
and Central Railroad freight depots. Mr. Hazle-
hurst will be home to-day or to-morrow, and
we shall then hear something definite from him
on the subject. It is to the interest of our peo
ple to foster and sustain tho Macon and Bruns
wick Road, and patronize it to tbe extent of
their power as a competing line with tbe
mighty Central Railroad, and as a sort of a bal
ance wheel to make that big thing run in order,
and we think they will do so; but, on the other
hand, onr merchants and business men will not
involve themselves in pecuniary embarrass
ment to sustain the credit of any railroad be
yond a reasonable extent. They have repeat
edly presented the bills of the BrnnBwick Rail
road Company for redemption, and while tho
company redeem all that it is able to do, still
it falls short of tbe demands of tho business
community, and hence we say, as a friend of
the road, desirous of its prosperity, that some
sort of an arrangement should be made, if pos
sible, whereby its bills, which aio losing confi
dence, may be promptly or speedily withdrawn.
Until we hear from Mr. Hazlehnrst, we doubt
not the bills of his road will be received by
many of our tradesmen as heretofore, and they
ought to be.

Grant at Lono Branch.—It has long been a
wonder that our illustrious President should
spend so much time at this watering place.
Some persons assert that most excellent cigars
can be bought there. This cannot make any
difference to General Grant, as be always gets
a thiough cheek from Washington on a trunk
full of mild Havanas. Isn’t it tho water ? No!
most emphatically no; ’tis not the water. Can
it be to see the pretty girls? Impossible! He
would take a through ticket for Middle Georgia
were that the case. Truman & Green have just
discovered tho reason. The General always
slops at the same hotel, noted for its elegant
cuisine. He cannot find such splendid chops
and steaks in Washington. The enterprising
proprietor of the Long Branch Hotel has been
using the Charter Oak Cook Stoves ever since
the house was opened, and the superior manner
in which the rations leave the kitchen is the
reason of the President’s freqnent and pro
tracted visits. Ye boarding house keeper?,
think of this! _

No Fight.—On Sunday night last we received
a challenge from John Black, of the Eufaula
News, through his friend Cob Ben E. Mitchell,
to appear at the Brown House and explain away
certain paragraphs which have appeared reoenltv
in this print, reflecting upon his standing and
veracity as a member of the craft, or fight out
of it. We girded on our armor and went down,
full of fight; but just as might have been ex
pected, when we met, the courage of both, like
that of Bob Acre’s, oozed out of every pore of
the akin, for it was very warm, and we fell into
each others arms as helplessly and tenderly as a
pair of infants. He demanded nothing of us
we did not cheerfully grant, and we stated noth
ing that he did not readily accede to, and the
seconds becoming disgusted at the slim pros
pects of getting up a fight, dismissed the whole
subject, and we all went roaming “by moon
light alone.”
Yesterday morning an elegant turnout was
kindly and courteously furnished the party by
Messrs. Holmes A Clay, from their stables op
posite the Passenger Depot, and a visit was
made to the Central City Park. As many other
gentlemen from abroad have done, who have
visited the Park recently, onr friends were de
lighted with it as a site for holding a large Fair,
and for a congregation of the masses of the peo
ple, and say they will make a noise in the papers
about it when they get home. They were also
pleased with our new Court-house, and aston
ished at the numerous fine buildings being
erected on all sides, and at tho advance Macon
has made within the last twelve months in sub
stantial progress and improvement.
They found bnt one thing in the city which
they, or rather our friond Mitchell, didn’t like.
He had gone over to the general passenger de
pot early in the morning to see a fair friend off,
and while there, he thought ho would set his
watch by railroad time, so as to be certain that
the train would not leave him on which he in
tended to go. So he set his watch by tho old
dock in tho depot, a thing that has not made a
“tick” in the last twelve years. It “floored”
him, bat made somo first rate fun for his friends.
By the way, what is that old clock kept in the
depot for? It has deceived thousands of per
sons. Take it down or make it keep correct
time. It’s an old humbug and cheat.
Onr friends were just over from tho Chalybe
ate Springs, where, they say, they left a compa
ny of about two hundred ladie3 and gentlemen,
who are having a most pleasant and lively time.
They left for the Bluff City last night.

DAY DISPATCHES.
New York, July 31.—Thousands of people
are congregated around the Bellevue Hospital
this morning, eager to hear something from
friends supposed to be killed or injured by yes
terday's explosion; and a large force of tha
police aro engaged in preserving order, amid
the general rnsh and excitement of the occasion.
Of tho forty dead bodies brought to Bellevue
Hospital yesterday, twenty have already been
removed by friends for interment. Nine of tbe
bodies, still at the hospital, hava been recog
nized and will be removed to-day. IntheMorgue
are eleven victims of the explosion yet unre
cognized. On one slab are the bodies of a
woman and two children. On another slab are
those of a woman and a child; and on another
that of a woman and five men. Most of tbe
bodies present a frightful appearance; for, in
addition to the fact that they are swolen and
thoir features distorted by water, they have, in
most cases, been terribly scalded. Since early
this morning a regular stream of people have
been passing in solemn file in aud cut of the
Morgue, either from curiosity to witness the
awful spectacle of the unrecognized dead lying
there, or with painful interest trying to discover,
and yet fearfnl of recognizing among the yet
unknown victims tho features of a relative or
friond. There are about sixty injured victims
of tho explosion in tho wards at Bellevue Ho3pi
tal. Surgeons state that nt least half of them
are beyond recovery. About 9 o’clock this
morning the body of Matilda Nilson, aged seven
years, killed by the explosion, was found in the
water at the slip of Staton Island Ferry.
Washington, Jnly 31.—The government buys
$5,000,000 bonds and sells $7,000,000 of gold
in August.
The latest from the steamboat disaster reports
50 killed and 120 wonnded.
H. W. Wilson, merchant of Louisville, Ky.,
is seriously scalded- Col. Mucbi will die.
New York, July 31.—Charles Fechter pro
poses to lease the Fourteenth Street Theater.
Paris, Jnly 31.—The fact that but few ballots
were cast at tho municipal elections, and that
tho great mass of voters abstained from tbe ex
ercise of the franchise, is generally attributed
to tho continuance of tho state of siege of Paris,
which exercises a baneful influence on all
classes of society. The immense porcelain fac
tory at Sevres, work in which has been ontirely
suspended sinco tho commencement of the siege
of Paris by the Germans, is to be at once re
established.
London, Jnly 31.—The chief theme of con
versation in all circles to-day, as well as edito
rials in journals, is the expected introduction
in tho House of Commons to-night of a propo
sition to censure the Government for abolishing
tho system of purchase of army commissions by
royal warrant.
London, July 31.—The meeting at Hyde Park
to agitate against the allowance for Prince Ar
thur, was a feeble affair. Another meeting has
been called, which tho government has prohib
ited.
NIGHT DISPATCHES.
London, July 31.—Dispatches from Dublin
report great enthusiasm manifested over the
expected visit of the Prince of Wales. The
Prince is already en route, accompanied by
Prince Arthur, Dnke of Cambridge, Marquis
of Lome, and a number of other members of
nobility and officers.
Rev. Henry Longuevillo Mansell, dean of St.
Paul’s Church, is dead; aged 51 years.
Thirty of the New Castle strikers have gone
to the United State?.
In the House of Lords to-day, Earl Granville,
in moving for a favorable answer to the Royal
message on behalf of Prince Arthur, urged that
the demand merely fulfilled a contract made at
the beginning of the reign of the Queen. He
spoke in warm eulogy of the Prince whose visit
to Canada had secured the affection of the col
onists. The Duke of Richmond heartily sec
onded the motion, which was carried without
division. The Duke of Richmond then moved
a vote of censure of the Qaeen’s message as an.
worthy of ministerial resort. He denounced in
strong language the speeches made at the ban
quet at tho Mansion House on Saturday, in re
lation to the treaty of Washington, and claimed
that the Royal prerogative was mnch strained
in ratification of that instrnment, without the
assent of Parliament. 5 Earl Granville spoke in
defence of tho message as responding 6imply to
tho previous action of the House of Commons.
In the House of Commons Gladstone stated
that unless the bill relative te elections was
passed by Tuesday, an October session of Par
liament was imminent.- Peter Alfred Taylor,
member of Leicester, denounced tho making of
appropriations for Prince Arthur, who, he said,
had better serve the country than be its pen
sioner.
The House of Commons to-night passed the
bill granting an allowance of 15,000 pounds per
annum to Prince Arthur by a vote of 276 to 11.
Washington, July 31.—The Ku-klnx Commit
tee has adjourned to the 20th of September,

the Westfield explosion.
Customs for the week $4,000,000.
New York, July 31.—The ship Artartio

week from Sherman, Texas, via Missouri, Kan
sas and other railroads.
Wilmington, Jnly 31.—John F. Pickett, the
New York broker, now in jail here will be
brought before Judge Rodman on a writ of
habeas corpus next Thursday.
Memphis, July 31.—R. B. McGee, a promi
nent citizen of Trenton, Tenn., and prior to
the war President of the branch State Bank at
that place, was arrested here charged with pass
ing counterfeit money. On searching his bag
gage $1,200 of counterfeit United States notes
were found. Owing to the high sooial position
enjoyed by McGee, his arrest has caused con
siderable sensation.
Capt. David H. Todd, formerly of Lexington,
Ky., and a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, died at
Hnntsville, of consumption, to-day.
Savannah. July31.—Arrived: steamersRapi-
dan, New York; America, Baltimore; bark

eign Affrirs, is confirmed.
President Thiers is consulting with General

Washington, D. G., July 31, 7:40p. m. )
The barometer has fallen slightly since .Satur
day afternoon at the Pacific and Rocky Moun
tain stations. Tho pressure on the Upper Lakes,
Golf coast, and in New England, has also di
minished. The temperature has increased
slightly in the Middle States. Light and fresh
local winds have generally prevailed, and south
easterly winds are now reported from Tennes
see to Minnesota. Rain ha3 fallen very genera'-
ly to-day on the Gulf coast and at a few stations
in New England. Local rains aro also reported
this afternoon from the Middle Atlantic States,
and threatening weather from Michigan to
Lake Superior and westward.
Probabilities; No material change is prob
able for Tuesday on the Gulf coast. Cloudy
weather, with local storms, will probably pre
vail north and west of the Ohio River. The
conditions remain favorable for easterly wind
and extended rain to-night from Virginia to
Massachusetts.

almost a straight line across, and little forward
of the centre of the boat. The bulwarks for
ward were blown away, and the metal shade
aronnd this funnel. lies crumpled like paper.
An iron pipe one inch thick, joined to the steam
suDply chest, was torn away like cloth, and hurl^
against the side of the boat. Two water-tanks
were thrown backward towards the stern a con
siderable distance. Ths after part of the cabin
is comparatively uninjured. Deaths thus far,
59; injured, 142.
