Ittirlal of Eugene Jrtlrrs. \
Tho funeral of Eugene Jeffers took
place yfwterday afternoon at 3 o’cUck,
from hi* late residence on Fourth street.
Tho procession was a very large -one,
mode up an follows: The brass band, tho
Fire Department, the three lodges of Odd
Fellows; tho hca»o surrounded by pall
bearers; the surviving momljcrs of tho
Thomson Hoard.', and n' nomlxir of car
riage* containin',’ relatives and friends of
the (Iccmteed. The remains were buried
in Bose Hill Cemetery.
Got lilt Arm rniKliril.
A negro boy named Warren Tharpc,
about thirteen years old, while frolicking
around the flying horses, on tho corner of
Fourth and I’lura streob;, night liefor.'
lost, got his arm caught between the
large cogwheels by which the machine is
propelled. Tho arm from the shoulder
down to tho Cnger-tip* was fearfully lac
erated, the flesh being torn off, and the
boncj of tho fingers crashed so badly
that two of them will have to be ampu
tated, and possibly the whole hand.
Dr. Holmes saw tho boy shortly after
the accident, and did what could bo done
for his relief. He saw him again yester
day morning, but found him too weak
from loss of blood for the operation to be
performed. Tlio doctor thinks, however,
that ho will be nblu to stand the opera
tion to-day.
The Mayor's Court.
Ilia Honor, tho Mayor, was again on
the bench yesterday morning.
The first ease called was that of Julia
Mitchell. Julia is a colored wornaii. She
was employed to clean up a room which
had been occupied by a small-pox pa
tient. Instead of burning tho clothing
as directed, she stolon number of articles
and carried them home with her. The
articles were recovered and properly dis
posed of, and Julia was fined ten dollars,
or thirty days in the barracks
A couple of ladies were booked for dis
orderly conduct; but tbeir ewes were
continued until to-day.
Carey Tolbert, colored, was charged
with cheating aiul swindling. He swapped
a railroad ticket for a gun, and the ticket
was pronounced worthless. Carey ap
peared to have been honest in tho matter,
however, and was given tirno to set him
self right.
Daniel Israel was charged with being
drunk and disorderly. Ho said he was
not drunk, but was mighty mad. Ho was
fined five dollars for getting mad
Wm. Taylor, mulatto, was picked up as
a suspicions character, lie came from Grif
fin and had some toliaceo and segars in
his posseitsion, which it was thought he
might have borrowed without tho knowl
edge of the owner. Hi* case was contin
ued imtil the marshal of Griffin could lie
heard from.
RALSTON MALL
First Presentation of ninck Crook.
A densely packed house was at Ralston
Hall hut night to witness tho first ap
pearance of The Block Crook. The play
was put upon the stage with musical and
scenic effects that surpassed the expecta
tions of every one who witnessed it, and
we don’t think a more delighted audi
ence was over in that hall. While tho
ballet was a prominent feature of the
performance,it was produced with a seemly
regard to modesty, and from the begin
ning to the end of the play there was
nothing to offend tho taste of tho most
sensitive. The large audience of ladies
were qnite ns well rloased ns the gentle
men.
Tho scenic parts of tho play were pre
sented witli an elaborateness and splen
dor that could not lucre been expected in
Macon. Tho sceno in tho Serpents’ Glen
was ns weirdly horrible as the most ar
dent goblin lover could have desired; but
it wns abundantly compensated for by
tho Golden Grcto of Stalacta, and the
birth of Venus, which fulfilled all tho ro
mantic f.iueies of the beauties of fairy
land. Tho finest of all, however, was the
grand transformation scene with which
tho performance closed.
Tho performance of tho drama proper
was clever throughout. Mr. Dulficld, as
the Crook, was first-rate, and so was Mr.
Lamb as Greppo. Mr. Linganl, as Van
Puffongruntz, was immense in make up
and in action. DragonCn may bo put in
the catogdty of the india rubber man.
ne was tho life of many of the principal
scenes. Bndolph. Stalacta, Amina and
Carline were all cleverly done, the first
two being particularly elegant in stage
stylo and in costume.
Tho novelties introduced frequently
during the performance were all first
class. hTlie Lupo is one of the finest
d.iTuct'ics that was ever in Macon. She
is scarcely inferior to the famous Sohlkc
who wa3 here some years ago. She was
encored repeatedly, and the crowd seemed
unwilling that she should retire, even
after her third appearance.
Hernandez is groat as ever. His ap
pearance upon tho stage was the.signal
for mirth to begin, and it was shouts of
laughter |as long as he was in sight. He
is a fine facial performer, and has no equal
upon tho guitar. He out-Japped the
Japs themselves, while his Peace Jubilee
would have made Gilmore ashamed of
his little Boston affair.
Baby Benson, the child wonder, was an
espocial wonder to the audience. She is
a most remarkable child, very diminutive
in form, but sings and dances admirably
and with the nonchalance of an old pro
fessional. Her performance was greeted
with perfect hurrahs of applause, from
parquette to gallery.
The music was the best that lias been
in Macon since Theodore Thomas was
of the ballad.; that are charmingly

Magnolia street should be 970 feet long.nnd meas
ures 975 feet; the front on Orange street should
be 193 feet long and measures 198 feet; tho entire
front on Washington avenue should be 850 feet
and measures 855 feet—these measures being ta
ken omitting tlie encroachment of forty feet on
Spring Street. Thus we see that there is a differ
ence of five fast between each of tlie computed
and measured lines. This difference is divided
through alkthe lots on Magnolia street and Wash
ington avenue lines, each lot being a few feet too
wide, except lot 12, which on the avenue line is a
little short. The Orance street line is five feet
too long, earned by both ends projecting beyond
the street lines. Tho corners of the twoliooaoa,
the one on the avenue ami street, tlie other on tho
two streets, are on the lines of raid streets. The
new fence that has been built on Orange afreet is
very nearly oi». the line of that street, after giv
ing l^t 12 it', complement of land. And the corner
of the house on tlie east comer of Washington av
enue anti Orange street is on tlie comer of said
streets. This is as accurate as I can rejiort, owing
th • nu:urre information u> l*e obtained regard
ing tbe streets to question. Very respectfdlly.

ClTT OF Macox, December 9,1S73. S
To the Honorable Mayor and Council:
1 feel it my duty to make a special report of
small-pox. Since its last appesxsnoQ in the spring
there have occurred within the city limit-* eigh
teen cases—eleven bracks and seven whites—a
li>t of which I append to this report.
On tlie 17th of November, the Chief of Pol ire.
with the assent of the Mayor, assigned Captain
Simpson a special police, subject to my onlers.
He reports to me twice a day. ami lias acted
prom inly in the tvfiioval of all cases requiring re
moval to the hospital—when done has superin
tended the cleansing of house* in person. He has
visited daily all i«irties quarantined, and attend
ed to their wants.
1 have visited even’ case except the icvrties not
applying to me. I have procured good vaccine
matter, and have van mated all parties not able
to pay. 1 am satisfied that all due vigilance has
been used to present its spreauling. Some have
seemed annoyed at my vigilance in huntin? up
cases and seeing them properly quarantined, but
I have paid no attention to it, 1 shall always be
found t r> ing to do my duty w here the interest*
of the city are involved.
(Captain Simpson has attended to his duties
faithfully and shown the kindest attention to all
who have called on him.
I have request**! all portie*. particularly tho
