Clinngc of .Schedule.
A slight chan go of schodnlo will go
into effect on tho Macon and Augusta
railroad to-morrow morning. Tho train
will leave tho passenger depot at 0:40
a. »i.. Central railroad time, and will meet
the incoming night train from Eufuula,
at the rock mill junction. It will arrivo
at Cauiak at 10:55 a. m. This change
is for the accommodation of passengers
arriving on tho Southwestern train, who
will change at tho junction, instead of
arriving in tho city just after the Macon
and Augusta train has left.
The Mayor’* Court.
The Mayor was again nbsent from his
court yesterday morning, and Alderman
Cornell again supplied his place upon tho
)*«nch. Thera woro throe cases to ho ad
judicated.
A Mr. Dryant was booked for a sirnplo
drunk. Ho did not appear in proper
person to answer, but the five dollar bill
which he hail collateral*'! nn.tworrd for
him very well. It was swept into the
city treasury with a promptitiido that in
dicated its welcome,
George Kent was up to answer for a
plain drunk. His red foco indicated that
the case liad boon a severe ono to him,
nnd ho was let off with the usnal fivo
dollars.
A baggage matter on ono of the rail
roads quit baggage smashes Monday
afternoon and took to brandy smashes,
or their equivalent, no didn’t come up
to answer tho charge of being drunk, but
if ho will bring np a fivo dollar bill ho
can got tho pistol which is now in tho
hands of tho Chiof of Police.
Some four or fivo other names that
ought to have been registered woro not
upon docket.
Yesterday was one of those rare days
when the attention of the Court was nolely
occupied by whito persons.
llcnth of liiiKcnc Jr Hers.
Mr. Eugene Jeffers, an old fireman and
a gallant Confederate soldier during tho
war, died Monday night, a few minutes
post cloven o’clock, of pneumonia. Ho
had been in feeble health for some t ime,
still bis death was so unexpected as to
causo a foaling of deepest grief in tho
hearts of his many friends.
Mr. Jeffers was ono of the oldest mem
bers of tho Macon Firo Department, and
ono of tho best firemen in tho city. He
sorvod two terms ns Assistant Engineer
of the Department. At the time of bis
death he was a member of No. 3. Ho
served during the late war as Lieutenant
in the Thomson Guards, aud was one of
tho bravest men in the army. Ho was
true as stool to tho Southern cause, nnd
never was known to flinch in tho hour of
greatest peril, or to be laggard nn instant
when his services were needed. His com
pany was attached to the Gist Georgia
regiment, lie was captured at the battle
of Spotsylvania Conrt-house, and re
mained n prisoner until tho oloso of tho
war.
no was a man of quiet habit, who
made many friends and retained them.
If lie had an enemy among all his ac
quaintances the fact was not known.
Tho announcement of his death was re
ceived with universal expressions of
grief.
nis funeral will take place this after
noon nt three o’clock, nnd will bo attend
ed by all the Odd Fellows Lodges in the
city, and the entire Fire Department;
also by the surviving members of the
Thomson Guards who tuny be in tho
city.
Tlic County Court.
“Dr." John Hall, a colored practitioner
of tlu> healing art, was brought before
Judge 'Weems yesterday, on the charge
of practicing medicine without a license
or a diploma, and for malpractice. The
" doctor” in his practice appears to have
had ono sovereign remedy for all manner
of human ailments. No matter what
might bo the disease to which, ho was
called to administer, he bathed the pa
tient in kerosene oil, and Administered a
dose of the same oil internally. It is as
serted that some patients have been silly
enough to die under lus treatment, which
caused some apprehension in tho minds
of his patrons, and the result was his ar
rest. He was unable to give bail for his
appearance on Thursday, and the conse
quence is his
-patients ran go
The old round-about way io the regions below"
•without tho aid of kerosene to light them
on their way, w bile he languishes in the
county jail to await trial. The penalty
for practicing medicine without license is
$500 fine, one-half of which goes to the
informer.
The County Court has now boon in op
eration sir months. During that time it
has disposed of" more than a hundred
criminal eases, in only three of which
•were juries demanded. It has also dis
posed of one hundred and eight civil
cases, m*t ono of which ha- been certiora-
ried, and appeals have been taken in
only throe. Two of tho latter were eases
in which judgment was rendered by de
fault.
Had not the County Court been in ex
istence all the above <su>es would have
gone before tho Superior Court, and a
juiy would have been necessary in each
case. This gives the public some idea of
what an enormous expense is saved to
the county by the operations of the
C<vuflty Court.
BLACKS.
A. Phillips, near high bridge Macon
and Western railroad, sent to hospital.
Green Walker, cornc-r Malison and
Wharf streets, sent to hospital.
Levi Reese, railroad junction, sent to
hospital.
Maria Tharpe, comer Washington av
enue and College street, sent to hospital.
Mary Roswell and six children, railroad
junction, sent to hospital.
That make a total of seven white per
sons and clcvc-n colored. Mr. A. S. Bates,
Mrs. Ingalls and Miss Murphy had only
light cases of varioloid. Mr. Bates re
covered some weeks ago, and the two la
dies are so lightly affectod that they can
scarcely bo said to be ill at all.
Dr. Mason, since the first appearance
of the disease, has exercised the strictest
vigilance in hunting up coses and seeing
that they were cither properly quaran
tined or removed to tho hospital. The
other physicians in the city have given
him nil possible assistance, and have
withheld no information that was neces
sary to the public health. Officer Simp
son was detailed as special policeman,
subject to tho order of tho doctor, to
whom ho reports twico a day. Ho visits
regularly all those who arc quarantined,
and when cases recover or are removed,
attends in person to tho proper cleaning
of tho premises, no, too, is duly vigi
lant in the discharge of his duty.
Thus it is that alljduc precaution is
taken to prevent a spread of tho disease,
and people abroad may rely upon it that
there is no epidemic of small-pox here.
They can visit Macon as usual with im
punity, and if there should over be ft con
dition of affairs hero which would render
it unsafe for them to do so they can rely
upon getting prompt information of the
fact through tho TEi.Kar.ArH and Mf.s-
sbnokb. But until there is some real
causo of danger wo do not think it neces
sary to sound any false notes of alarm.
The mark Crook.
To-night the people of Macon are to
take their first peep at the mysteries of
tho wonderful Jllaelc Crook, which is to bo
exhibited hero in all of its grand scenic
paraphernalia. Having nevor witnessed
tho representation, we have no opinion of
our own os to ita merits, but the press
elsewhere are most liberal in its commen
dation. Tho Richmond, Vo., Journal,
speaking of tho performance in that city,
says:
Bidwell & McDonough’s grand specta
cle called " Tlio Black Crook,” but very
modestly draped, was produced lust night
before a splendid house. It is by far the
best thing in tho scenic, spectacular, ar
tistic, and mechanical lines ever produced
in Richmond. Aside from the legitimate
merits of tho entertainment, tlio inter
ludes thrown in to give it spico and va
riety are of the most pleasing, as well as
amusing character. The dancing of Mile.
Lupo was most fascinating nnd beautiful,
not to say wonderful. We have rarely
seen so finished a dsta—m and the au
dience were wild with delight at her
graceful and sylph-like movements. She
was supported by a full corpse tie ballet of
very beautiful and charming young
ladies, all of whom woro quite respecta
ble Wliski. The various changes of
•dress in which tho ballet corps appear—
first tho regular peasant, then the cory
phee, next as sailors, and last as wajrors
in magnificent armor—all added to the
interest and completeness of tho enter
tainment.
Then there was that wonderful child,
‘•Baby Bensonand we aro free to de
clare we never have seen precocious talent
before. She is, indeed, an enfant terrible,
and can only be appreciated when seen.
A description of tlio cherubic little sprite
is simply impossible, and the sensation
sho created in tho audience is equally in
describable.
Then we had Hernandez and his amus
ing as well as wonderful performances.
The burlesque of the Japanese, liko “By
ron’s Dream,” was not alt burlesque. In
deed, a more daring feat could not well
have been conceived than that performed
by them on the trapeze. But the humor
of everything Hernandez does is quite
irresistible.
In every respect it U a splendid enter
tainment, and we saw nothing offensive
in any portion of it—nothing that should
prevent the most fastidious from its full
anA treo enjoyment.
Another Bear.
The most ingenious piece of mechanism
we have seen lately is a toy bear at Jacob
Dinklor’s confectionery and toy store, on
Mulberry street. The animal moves
about and growls as natural as life. The
children should all go to see it. Mr.
Dinkier has just opened an entirely now
.'took of toys, confectioneries and Christ
mas goods, to which he invites tlio espe
cial attention of Santa Clans.
Agent of the Macon and Augusta
Railroad.
Judge James Hoge, a well-known citi
zen of the State, and an experienced rail
road man, has been appointed agent of
the Macon aud Augusta railroad at this
point. The appointment will prove a
most acceptable one to the people when
they come to know the Judge.
The McLaughlln-Goodall Case.
Tho following note from Col Ruther
ford explains itself, and corrects a misap
prehension that was likely to have grown
out of a paragraph in this paper of Sun
day morning:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I see
it stated editorially in your Sunday’s
issue that the law case, “ The Trustee of
Mrs. McLaughlin and her children vs.
IVm. I\ Goodall, administrator,” was
| ended. This is a mistake. The case is
• not ended. The Judge, after much besi-
' tation, took a certain view of the case
"ill'll he told the jury would control
| their finding in this suit—while he clearly
if not expressly conceded that he did not
thereby decide against the legal right
of Mrs. McLaughlin's heirs to recover.
But the case will go to tho Supreme
Court on that technical point thus ruled
by the Judge.
