tho enm of one dollar and aoventy-flvo

The ltcscrveil seat question.
Mnch sarpriso has been expressed In
Maeon among oar amusement lovers, in
tbe pas*, few days, over the extra charge
of half a dollar for seeared seats to wit
ness tbe Two Dromlos by Robson and
Crane. Tho general charge this winter
his been bot a dollar for reserved seats,
and although our people might have boon
induced to have paid a dollar and a quarter
for the choice losstions in tbe
houte; they considered It extortion to be
oharged more, and eo the sale of seats,
np to latt night, has been tho lightest of
the season, so for, where tho ttoupe waa
at all meritorious. M&oon was rising in
its indignation and was about to allow
ths two Dromioe to display their mirth
provoking qualities to a beggarly array
of empty benches, especially as the
troupe was advertised in other cities as
pi lying for but cue dollar for reserved
seats. It was the principle of ths thing.
The “bxlm in Gilead" cime last night in
the announcement from the agent of the
troupe that only the customary charges
would bo made. The extra prices were
find under an entire misapprehension
and he regrets it exceedingly. A* soon
as he learned the usual custom he im
mediately reduced the rates, snd se
onlv the usual price will be oharged.
Everybody wants to see the Dromios and
the rush for reserved seats will be lively
this morning.
PRELIMINARY trial.
sir. Jerry O'Conner Bound Over for
the Kllllnxer Ham Franklin. Col
ored.
Yesterday morniDg, in the office of
Jndge E. C. Grannies, a preliminary trial
of Mr. Jerry O’Connor commenced. It
will be remembered that on BnnJxy
morning last Mr. O'Connor slzuck an old
colored man, by tho name of Franklin, on
the head, in taking him to the barracks,
and be died from the effect of the blow
a few boors after.
Tho colored people bare been much
exercised, and have resolved to proac-
euto O'Connor. They have employed
Hon. Sam Hall and son. The prisoner is
defended by Col. C. J. Harris. The case
was tried before Jndge E. C. Grannie*,
assisted by Magistrates M. R. Freeman
and D. B. Adams. The coart room was
crowded from first to last—literally pack
nd. The case was opened, and the fol
lowing evidence was presented. The de
feme introduced no testimony.
Henry Reeves, colored, was sworn and
testified, In substance, that ho saw Mr.
O'Connor and Sam Franklin.the deceased,
by Campbell Sc Jones' warehouse ; the
prisoner had Sam by the arm ; no saw
him el tike Sam with his clnb about hia
head as hard aa ho oonld ; the clnb was
the usual kind carried by the polioo ; Sam
was doing nothing when struck; ha fell
but vm polled up by tha offiooi; this was
Sunday, jnst before seven o’olock ; pris
oner had Sara by tbe right hand when he
struck him, bolding him with his left
band ; Sam'bad a little package in bis
other hand;'witness was a hundred and
fitly yards away on tho opposite side of
tbe street; Sam did not seem to be drunk
when struck; be did not follow officer
O'Connor and his prisoner, bat kept them
in sight; bo was siraok bnt once; defen
dant pot Ills hand behind him, and
threatened to kill Sam if he ran; he saw
no pistol, however; Franklin did not
seem to be pnllingfrom tire officer; when
he atrnck him ollioer O'Connor poshed
Sam off, and nsed threats above men
lu,no:!.
Dr. Clinkscalea was next examined
Hi* testimony has been already published
in anbstancc. Ho stated that tho injnry
conld have keen produced by a blow from
a policeman’s baton; that tbo sknll of the
deceased was tho thinost he had ever
seen; no evidences of diseaso about it,
but excessive thinness might be a disease;
does notbelievo bo conld have pushed hia
finger through the skull; a heavy foil
might havo occasioned Each a death,|but
such a fall wonld not have struck skall at
that point; timely nodical attention might
have saved bis life; when tho sknll was so
thin sawing might have caused the frac
ture; a fracture always takes place where
tho blow is struck though tbe brain may
be affected on tho opposite side.
Dr. H. V. Johnson testified that
death might have been produced by ex
ternal violence, such as a blow of a po
liceman’s dub; a fall wonld hardly. have
made fracture though it might have pro
duced death; blood vessels aro some
limes ruptured by excitement and physi
cal strains; sometimes a man is struck
on ono side of his head and fractnre
lakes place on the opposite side; frac
ture might have been caused by striking
some cornor of something in cell.
Dr. Mettauer, also presontat autopsy
That eknll was a malformation: clot of
blood which caused death must have
been produced by a blow; ho broke tho
sknll in his fingers; that tho blow most
have been slight.
Mr. Chapman, the Coroner, was also
sworn, nnd tostified as to tho finding of
the body in the cell. That Mr. O’Conner
told him that he bad given the deceased
a slight tap for trying to-get away from
him as be was bringing him to tbo bar
racks, in tho presence of deceased, who
made uo reply. That deceased appeared
to be rational. That ho took him by the
clothes and walked him to hi* cell, and
he walked like a drunken man.
The cvldanoe woe concluded about ono
o’clook in the afternoon. Tho oonnsol on
both sidos made able and lengthy argu
ment*. After a brief consaltatation tbe
benohof ju9tioes announced that they
bad concluded to bind Mr. O’Oonner
over to (lie Snporior Conrt, and fixed bis
bond at $1,500.
Up to.a very lslo bonr last night the
required bond had not been given. It is
probable, however, that be will make np
a satisfactory bail to-day. The oaao ex
cites mnch interost throngbont the city.
Robson anil crane In the "Comedy
■f Errors’’ To-nUrlir.
Tho performance to-night at Ralston
Hall will be of a very high order of ex.
cellenco. The Comedy of Errors is ono
of tbo happiest and most effective of
Shakespeare’s comedies, but it is rarely
acted on acconnt of tbo difficulty in find,
ing artists who can be coupled In tho
leading roles. Robson and Crone made
this comedy the great auccess of the
present season in Now York, and they are
lauded by the press of tho entire country
as the two funniest and most refined
comedians on tho English-speaking stage
In all probability their appoarance in
London as the Dromios will be ono of the
important events of next season in that
metropolis. Thoy come hero with a supe
rior company, and each character in tho
comedy to-night will bo in tho hands of
an experienced and scholarly actor, insur
ing a clear interpretation of Shakespeare's
work. The production will be under the
personal supervision of Mr. Chas. Webb,
one of the famous Webb Brothers, of tbe
Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, who
will arrive in Macon this morning.
Tbe New York Art and Society, com
menting on the presentation of the play
in that city, says: Tho most startling
and almost incredible feature of the pres
ent production of tho “Comedy of Errors”
is the finessoof art which brings two such
opposito comedians as Robson and Crane
into conjunction, ss practical twins in
manners aa well as appearance. The
painting and costuming are easy, but the
blending nnd equalizing of opposing
idiosyncrasies is a miracle. In this case
it is ono of tho stage surprises of tha
present generation, to he handed down to
posterity. Whenever, hereafter, the
“Comedy of Errors” is revived, we sbail
have a revival also of tho fame of Robson
and Crane, as wo have heretofore had
that of tbo Webu Brothers.
Sse Robson and Crane to-night. The
popular wish has been complied with,
and ^eenred seals reduced to one dollar.

WniaxiS, We believe that certain per
sons havs conspired together to obstruct
and overthrow the present city govern
ment, and have attempted in various
ways to impede tbe progress of the same,
by a refusal to comply with tho laws and
ordinances governing the same, and
have applied to the courts for an injunc
tion restraining tho Mayor and Conncil
from the further collection of licenses
and taxes and from the exeention of tho
laws governing said city; and whereas,
owing to the death of Col. R. W. Jemi-
son, the city is without an attorney to
represent them in tho present extraordb
nary omorgency, bo it therefore
Resolved, That tho Mayor and Council,
for tho protection of the best interests of
tbo city and the maintainance of law
and order, shall elect such counsel to
represent them as City Attorney aB in
their judgment may be necessary for
tho vindication, enforcement and exeou
tion of the laws and ordinances of tho
city. Be it farther
Resolved, Tnat tho appropriation ordi
nance heretofore passed by this Conncil

propriation for salary cf city attorneys

pleasant meeting of the St. John’s Epis
copal Union took place. The club has
been but recently organized, but is in a
state of excellent prosperity.
The entertainment last evening was
very much appreciated and praised by
those present. The first thiDg on the

of the Department, ealled the meeting
to older. Previous unconfirxied minutes
were read and confirmed.
Mr. Hendrix stated that there were no
rules except what wero contained in the

wero several subjects on which regula
tions wero needed, such as the borrow

dnet at fins. Ho invited suggestions
from all present.
He stated furthermore that from the
members of tbe Department ho learned
that general harmony existed between
the companies, and that he wished to
perpetuate this feeling. Without it tho
Department cannot be etficient. That he
did not wont to mako any rnles or seem
to force anything on the membere of the
bedy. In his administration ho expected
to be reasonable, and not captiouB, and
would uso his best endeavors for tho good
of tho Department in every way.
Mr. Oraig read what the charter con
tained on the subject.

unanimously carried. Mr. Hendri.: re

AN ACE OF SURPRISES.
We are constantly hearing cJ somo new and
wonderlnl invention or discovery, such a* tho
Telephone, rnonograph. Electric Light, etc-
which tends to revolutionize all the old-fashion
ed ideas of what is what. The principal draw
back to the uso of thsso new appliances has been
tha considerable outlay necessary for their intro
duction : hut this difficulty as regards the Tolo
phone has keen satisfactorily orercomo. A Bos
ton firm has succeeBod in producing an instru
ment that works one mile, which they aro ablo
to sell for $3 00 complete. A description of the
mention will be fonnd in our advertising

dollar and Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment’: One
does what it promises and tbeotber does’nt.The
Mexican dollar says. "I am one hundred cents:”
i-ut wh.-u you eoine to invest it you rind it is onlv
eighty-five. Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment
says “I will cure you of piles:” and upon trial it
is found to do so in every rase. It makes but
one promise—to cure piles; and dees so without
failure. Price 60 cents a bottle. Por sale by

mAF(P AfjD OOF
DY MISS U. J. PH I LB ItICK.
This beautifully written anu intensely inter
esting story, illustrative ot Southern character
and Southern life in town and country, will run
through several weekly issues of the News.
Without anticipating the interest of our read
ers, wo can promise the lovers ol well wrought
fiction a rare treat in its perusal.
Thu Weekly News is one ot the largest and
handsomest newspapers in the country, boing
an eight page sheet 8s by 69 inches. Among its
new features wo invito attention to a series of
articles on tbe Orange Culture, written express
ly for its pages by Mr O Codrington, ot Florida,
which will bo found interesting and valuable to
those engaged in orange growing. Another
feature of especial interest to our lady readers ii
our New York Fashion Letters, by an accom
plislied lady writer. Tbe aim of the News is to
bo thorough in all tho departments of n com
prehensive netrspa]>er. Its Agricultural De
partment : its careful compilation of the news of
the day, foreign and domestic.itsreiiable market
reports, editorial comment, and choice miscel
laneous readings, mako the Weekly News one
of tho most instructive, entertaining and valu
able newspapers.
New subscribers desiring to commence witli
the new story, should send in their names at
MACON
Vicinity!
Having just concluded our annual inventory
of stock we are now prepared to offer to our
trade the balance of our Winter Stock at prices
which will meet with the general satisfaction
with those that seek the best goods at great.y
reduced prices. We will herj innumerate a
few articles:

that we have been selling at 50 cents yout can
now buy of us at 25 cents.
Our fine imported DRESS GOODS that we
havo sold at 75 cents can to-day be bought at
60 cents.
In short, our whole lino of Dress Goods in the

JBA. LMORALS

HOSIERY
A department which we have at all times con
sidered tho best in the Btate, we lave made a
general reduction in the many styles. We are
positive that this department, with it3 reduced
prices alone, will meet with the universal ap
proval of the ladies of Macon.
In short, with the vast assortment of goods
which it is necessary to carry in a first-class
estiblishment, it is almost impossible to specify
tbo different lines of goods: Knowing full well
that a call will satisfy our tnido generally we
will submit our assertions to their judgment.

THE NEW YOKE SUN FOR 1879
Iveartocome. Its purposo amt method will l»e
the same as in the pust: To present all the news
in a readable vhnpe, anti to tell tlie truth though
the heavens fall.
Turn Suif lias been. is. and will continue to be
independent of everybody and everything nave
the Truth and ita own convictions of duty. That
is the only policy which an honest newspaper
need have. That is tho policy which has won
for this newspaper tho confidence and friend
ship ot a wider constituency than was ever en-
joyjd by any American journal.
TUB Suit is the newspjijier of tho people. It is
not for tho rich man against tho poor man, or
for tho i>oor man against the rich man, hut it
seeks to do equal iustioe to all interests in the
community, it is not the organ of any person,
class* sect or party. There licod be no mystery
about its loves and hates., t is for honest man
against the rogues of every time. It is for the
honest Democrat as again it ths dishonest Ke-
publifun, and for tho honest Republican as
against the dishonest Democrat- 11 does not taku
its cue from the utterances of any politician or
J political organization. It gives its support unre
servedly when men or measures are in a reement
with tho Constitution and with tho principles
upon which this republic was touuded for the
people. Whenever tbe Constitution and consti
tutional principles are violated—as in tho out
rageous conspiracy of 1876, by which a man not
elected was placed in the President’s office,
where he still remains—it speaks out for tho
right. That is the Sua’a idea of independence.
In this respect there will be no change in its pro
gramme for 1879.
Tub Sub has fairly earned tho hearty hatred
of rascals, frauds and humbugs of all sorts and
sizes. It hopes to deserve that hatred not less in
tlieycarl87U than in 1878. lS77.orauy year gonu
by. The Sun is printed for tho men and women
of to-day, whoso concern is chiefly with thn
affairs of to-day. It lias both the d is posit ion and
the ability to afford its readers tho promptest,
.ullest, aud most accurate intelligence of what*
evergin tho wide world is worth attention. To
this end the rescurces l>elouging to well-estab*
is lied prosperity will be liberally omployoa.
Tho present disjointed condition of parties. *<.•
this country, and the uncertainty of the future.,
lend an extraordinary significance to the events
of the coining year. To present with nccuracy.
aud clearncas tho exact situation m each of its.
varying phases, nnd to expound, according to its.
well-known method*, the principles that shoultd
guide us through tbe labyrinth, will be an impor -
taut part of the Hun’s work for 1879.
We have the means of making tho Suit, ns a po
litical, a literary, and a general new spa iter, more
entertaining and more useful than ever before;
and we mean to apply them freely.
Our rates of subscription remain unchanged.
For the Daily Sun, a four-page sheet ol twenty-
eight columns, tho price by mail, postpaid* is m
