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 Ma. Aj.r. j snug by the ladies of the troupe. ; Tho grenadier land will appear upon j the etreetn during the day. Council Proceeding-.

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. A. E. Boakdmax, City Engineer.
