XIm* Starke's Readings.
Those of our citizens who can appreci
ate an evening of delightful readings
should hear in mind the entertainment to
he given this evening by Miss Clarke.
Mrs. Bry an, tlie well-known editor of tin?
SoNf South. pronounces Miss Clarke the
superior of Agues Herndon. Oliver Doml
Byron says of lier character of the Xarse
in Romeo and Juliet, Uiat “were he a
Juliet be would have her nurse at any
price."
The beamy of Miss Clarke’s mailings is
in her gesturing, which is grace itself, ami
her sweet modulated voice. The enter

to the cultivated portion of our com
munity.
A portion of the proceeds of tlic enter
tainment will Ire devoted to tlic building
of a I nick coping around tin- confederate
graves in the cemetery. Tlic reading will
begin at s o'clock at Masonic Hall.

Fire.
This morning at half past one o’clock,
an alarm of fire was sounded by the city
bells. A few moments previous, officers
Fennell ami Murphv, who hail come on
duty at twelve o'clock, discovered it
burning at the side or alley door of tlic
store of Mr. R. S. Wynn on Thin! street.
The blaze had just reached tlie inside
of the store and was fast gaining head
way. Enough could be aeen, however, to
•how that the fire was set from the out
side, the wood work of tlie iloor being
l with kerosene, anil cotton also
bring used freely.
Tbrv sounded the alarm, officer Mure
i*y ran to the Court House, but found
the bell rope cut.
Mr. Wynn, brother of tlic proprietor,
was sleeping in the second story, aud was
awakened ami called down. Two alarms
were rung, and the department called out
in fall force.
The store and the one adjoining, occu
pied by Mr. Morris Elkan were opened
and their oatents placed in the street. Tlie
i did some heroic work, and after a
t the llames were controlled.
»was done to both stocks of
goods by water ami moving.
A circumstance that rendered tlic work
of the firemen more perilous was the re
port that on last evening ten kegs of pow
der were delivered by Mr. Wynn by the
Marriage In Forsyth.
Tertrtday. in the pleasant little city of
Forsyth, occurred a very interesting so
cial event, in which Albany and Forsyth
were equally interested. At the residence

Trippe. and Mr. J. B. Gilbert, of

The ceremony was pere
t an appropriate manner by Rev-
Mr. Adams, of Forsyth.
The bridal pour were attended by the
fallowing couples: Mr. Walter Muse, of
Jkftnmy, and Miss Annie Trippe, of For
syth; Mr. Robert Trippe, of Forsyth, and
Miss Jeannie Hammond, of Atlanta; Mr.
H. H. Collier, of Macon, and Miss Julia
Gilbert, of Albany.
After the ceremony, which took place
about half past three o'clock, a sumptu
ous dinner was enjoyed, and the bridal
party took the south bound train, and ar
rived in this city last evening, and left
far Albany, their future home.
The groom is one of the most popular
jvmng gentlemen of Albany. The bride

The Burge Otae—A Hung Jury.
Yesterday in the Superior Court the
tftring of evidence for the defense was re
sumed,
Mr. F. T. Abel was sworn and testified
to the general character of ^Mr. Toler, the
deceased, and represented his reputation
as being very bad.
ficulty with him once himself.
Mr. D. W. D arret was also sworn for
the defense and testified to having been at
tlie scene of the homicide immediately af
ter It occurred and testified as to the po
sition in which tlie body was lying. He
was not present at the time of the firing,
but heard the pistol and went there im
mediately after. When be next saw the
body the position had been changed from
the position in which he had first seen it.
It appeared as if it had been turned over.
Mr. W. n. Jones, who was indisposed
on Monday, was placed on the stand for
rebuttal by the defense, and gave evi-
ilence as follows: [Some of the circnm-
atances of Mr. Jones’ testimony, which
hare been published in the evidence pre-
seated yesterday, in which all witnesses
agree, are omitted in this report.]
Toler came to my store and asked for
Mr. Burge, nc said he wanted to give
him a piece of his mind. [The circum
stances of Mr. Toler’s calling Mr. Burge
to the back of the store, and the talking
between tlie two men at that place, was
repeated substantially as published.] To
ler said lie was not armed and would
whip him (Barge) anyway he wanted.
Toler had his liond on his hip as if lie hail
a pistol. Mr. Toler followed Burge to
tbo door, and told him: ‘-Clear out, you
infamous, cowardly scoundrel,” or some
thing like that. He never spoke after lie
was shot. Jack Roberts called to me:
‘Oict's part them.” Wien shot Toler
sprang on Bulge anil downed him. We
then went forward to them. They were
on tlic floor. Both rose lip and Toler fell
almost on me, the blood flowing from liis
mouth, nose and ears. When the shoot
ing occurred they were not three feet
apart. I did not leave the store until af
ter Jack Robert# and I searched him. He
hail some sewing machine needles,
jmckct-liook and a pocket-knife. It was
shut. I was nearest to tliein; not tlireo
feet away, except the space of the coun
ter. Jack Roberts, when tlie pistol fired
was in the middle way of the store.
Cross examined—I believe Bulge
would have run out, if the side door had
been open.
Objection made and sustained,
Q. Tell this jury what Toler’s conduct
was toward getting up a difficulty.
Witness—Burge had to walk around the
table, and Toler prevented him, and told
him to “stop, you cowardly scoundrel,
till I tell you a piece of my mind.” Burge
finally got around, and made for the door.
I expected a difficulty between them.
Toler abused him all along for a cow
ard, scoundrel, low down vagabond and
such like epithets.
Did you not state on the former trial
that you would not have stood the abuse
as long as he did?
Objected to ami objection sustained
Toler tried to keep ahead of Burge
while he was at tlic table in the hack part
of tlie store.
Mr. William Foster, sworn in rebuttal
for tlie defense, testified that lie knew Mr.
Toler three years, and that lie was a quiet
man as far lie knew.
Colonel J. B. Gumming also testified
that he never had heard anything against
Toler as a peaceable man
The State here closed.
The prisoner was put on the stand aud
made his statement substantially as fol
lows :
On or about tlie 20tli of February, 1873,
I had the unfortunate difficulty. I went to
Mr. Jones’ store. Smith aud Toler were
standing near tlic iloor. I said, “Good even
ing, gentlemen.” I went back to get some
water, and started out. Toler stood with
liis hand behind him. I anticipatedjio
difficult)-. I saw ho was very excited, and
lolil him that lie was excited, and I would
see him another time; that I did not want
to talk to a man about business when he
was so excited, hut that I could explain
the matter at another time; that the mat
ter between me and his brother was ami
cably settled. I had just taken out the
attacliment, I made out the account and
Mitchell issued the attachment, I tried
to leave the store. Toler would catch me
in a violent manner by tlie lappel of my
coat, and say “Stand! I want satisfaction.”
He called me a “puppy,” etc. I tried to
et around him. Did get ahead of
lim near the door. I said
did not want a difficulty with a man who
had his hand on a deadly weapon. When
near the door, lie struck me in the back
with his left hand, shoved me around anil
I thought that was my time and shot. He
was a more powerful man than I was, and
I was afraid of him; lie intimated that all
he wanted was to get me outside of the
store to finish me. I knew his character
for violence; he had several difficulties in
East Macon and killed a man elsewhere ;
I gave him no provocation ; I acted purely
in self defense.
Tlie case was opened by Solicitor-Gen
eral Bartlett.
Colonel W. A. Lofton followed in a
close, compact and forcible argument of
an lionr and a quarter for the defense,
in which the law and the facts wore both
argued to the jury.
Judge Clifford Anderson followed for
the defense in one of those clear, forcible
speeches for which he is so well known
aud which liaTC won for him the reputa
tion of being one of tlie first criminal law
yers in the State.
Mr.-Barlett closed for the State in a
speech of fifty minutes, and made a re
markably fine argument. Every circum
stance was reviewed, the facts collated, the
law In all of its bearings applied to the
facts and the aigumeut closed with a fine
peroration. His speech evidently had
great influence on the jury.
Judge Simmons delivered the following
clear charge;
You have been sworn and empanelled
to try John W. Burge for the crime of
murder. Tlie indictment which you have
before you, charges and accuses said Burge
with tlie crime of murder, in that he on
or about tlie 20tli of February, 1S7S, shot
and killed pne, John C. Toler, with
malice aforethought. Burge pleads not
guilty to tlic charge; and that is the issue
or the jury to try under the law anil tes
timony in the case.
Burge docs not deny that he shot and
killed Toler; he admits that be. did so,
but says lie was justified In doing so, be
cause he did it in self-defense, to save his
own Hfe. This is tlie issue for the jury to
try under the evidence. Before you can
come to a proper conclusion in this case,
as to whether the offense is murder, man
slaughter, or justifiable homicide, it is
necessary for you to know the law upon
these points.
It becomes my duty to give you that
law in charge.
Murder is the unlawful killing of a
human being, in the peace of the State,
by a person of sound memory and discre
tion, with malice aforethought, either ex
press or implied. Express malice is that
deliberate intention, to take away the life
of a fellow creature, which is manifested
by external circumstances capable of
proof. Malice shall be implied when no
considerable provocation appears, and
when all the circumstances of the killing
show an abandoned and malignant heart.
To constitute the crime of murder,
there must be an unlawful killing, and it
must be done with malice aforethought.
A efttain state of the mind .constitutes ma
lice. Legal malice is not ill-will or hat
red as is generally supposed. It Kan in
tention to kill under such circumstances
as would not justify, or in any way excuse
the killing should it, the killing, take
place in pursuance of such intention.
■Whenever a killing by unauthorized
violence is shown, the law presumes that
it was done with malice aforethought, and
callaJl:jmirder, unless the accompanying
pri>uf shows that it was done without mal
ice. If the unauthorized killing be shown
and the accompanying proof does not
show that it was done without malice, it
then devolves upon the accused to show to
the jury that it was done without
malice. If a deadly weapon was used to
accomplish the killing, which, in the man-
wbere all the circumstances of the killing
show an abandoned and malignant heart.
The deliberate intention to kill must
exist. If it does not exist at the time of
the killing, the offense is not murder.
It is not necessary that this deliberate
intention should exist for any particular
length of time prior to tlie killing. If it
existed at the time of the killing, it is
sufficient.
These are the rules of law which should
govern you in coming to your conclusion,
whether the accused is guilty of murder
or not. Look to the evidence and say
whether a case of murder is made out.
Does the proof show that Burge intended
to kill Toler? If it does, does it show
that it was done under such circumstances
as would justify him, or in any way excuse
him for the lolling ? If it does, then say
it is not murder. If the proof shows that
he liad a deliberate intention to kill
Toler, and it does not show
tliathe was justified, or in any way excus
able, then you would be authorized to find
him guilty of murder.
You must determine these questions
from the evidence.
If, after an impartial investigation of
the evidence, you come to the conclusion
that the defendant is not guilty of mur
der, then it will be your duty to ascertain
whether lie is guilty of manslaughter or
not. Read sections 4324 and 4325 of the
Code.
Now look to tlic evidence and see
wlicthcr it makes out a case of voluntary
manslaughter.
“An assault is an attempt to commit a
violent injury upon the person of anoth
er.” Did Toler make an actual assault
upon Bulge, or did Toler attempt to
commit a serious personal injury upon
Burge? Or were there other equivalent
circumstances to justify the excitement of
passion, and to exclude all idea of deliber
ation or malice, either express or im
plied.
If you believe that either one
of these things happened, then yon would
bo guilty of voluntary manslaughter, pro
vided that you do not believe that he was
justified in tlie killing under another sec
tion of the code, which I will presently
read you.
Read sections 4,330, 4,331, 4,333 of
code.
Felony means an offense for which the
offender, on conviction, shall be liable by
law to be punished by death or imprison
ment in tlie penitentiary, Now, does the
proof show that Toler manifestly inten
ded or endeavored by violence or surprise
to commit a felony on Burge. Did he in
tend or endeavor to commit a crime which
would have sent him to the penitentiary
or taken his life if he had succeeded? If
you believe that Toler did this, then
Burge was justified in killing him. A
hare fear of any of these offenses would
not justify him. The circumstances must
he sufficient to excite the fears ofa reason
able* man. Not the fears of an
unreasonable man, or of a poltroon,
but of a man with reason sufficient to
judge of the circumstances with which he
is surrounded.
It must appear that tlie danger was so
urgent and pressing at the time of the
killing that in order to save his own life
the killing was . absolutely necessary.
Now, gentlemen, look at the evidence
on these points. Were the circumstances
which surrounded Burge at the time of
tlie killing sufficient to excite tlie fears of
a reasonable man, and did he act under
tlic influence of these fears, and not in a
spirit of revenge? Was his danger so ur
gent and pressing at tlie time of the killing
that it was absolutely necessary to kill
Toler to save his own life? If you an
swer these questions in tlie alfirmative
from the evidence, you should find Binge
not guilty. If they aro not true under
the ovidence, you should not acquit him,
but find him guilty of such offense as you
believe the evidence shows him to have
committed. There are some rules which
should govern you in considering the evi
dence, which I desire to give you before
you go to your rooms. One of them is,
that if the testimony is conflicting you
must reconcile it, if you can, so as to im
pute peijury to none of the witnesses. If
you cannot reconcile it, then you may
give credit to that witness or those wit
nesses who, from their position, had the
best means of knowing what they are tes
tifying about, and the least inducement to
conceal tlie truth. You may also look to
tlieir manner of testyfying on the witness
stand, their interest, if they have any, anil
their relationship to the parties. The law
also allows the defendant in all criminal
trials to make his statement to
the jury, the statement not under oath,and
allows the jury to give that statement just
such force and effect as they see proper.
You may believe tlic statement of the de
fendant in preference to the sworn testi
mony if you see proper, or disbelieve it if
you see proper.
The defendant begins tliis trial with
the presumption of innocence in Ids favor,
and that remains until removed by proof.
The proof must show that lie is guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt. His guilt
cannot he shown to an absolute certainty,
that cannot be done by testimony in
court. But his guilt must be made plainly
to appear. You must have that degree
of mental assurance before which a
prudent man acts without hesi
tation in reference to matters
of tlie liigliest concern to himself. This
doubt must be a reasonable one, growing
out of the testimony or the want of testi
mony. If, after honest and impartial ex
amination of the testimony, tlie mind of
tlie impartial juror is wavering and unset
tled, unsatisfied, that is tlie doubt of the
law, and he should be acquitted. If that
doubt docs not exist, it would be liis duty
to convict.
If you believe him guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt of murder, say so by
your verdict. If you do not so believe,
pass on to voluntary manslaughter, and
see whether he is guilty of that. If you
should so find, you can express it in your
verdict. If you find him not guilty is
murder or of manslaughter, acquit him.
The punishment for murder of
death, unless tlie jury trying the
case should recommend to the
mere J of the Court. If the jury so recom
mend, it reduces the punishment from
death to imprisonment far life.
If, therefore, you believe tlie defendant
is guilty of murder, you can recom
mend him to merev and imprisonment for
life.
At a quarter before six the case was
given to the jury. Up to a late horn last
night no verdict had been rendered, and
the impression was gaining ground that a
mistrial would be the result.
The following are the names of the ju
rors engaged in the case: N. B. Ousley,
Virgil A. Marshbum, Moses Tucker, E.
C. Pierce, E. M. Davis, Sargent Thom
as, George W. Findlay, L. M. Avant,
Fred Ingraham, 'William Stephan, Nelson
Thomas, J. C. Van Syckel.
The case has been in the courts nearly
seven years. It has been once tried, and
a verdict of voluntary manslaughter ren
dered. A new trial was granted by Judge
Hill, not by the Supreme Court, and the
case has been continued several times. It
was thought at one time yesterday that
the case would have to he suspended, on
account of the severe sickness of one of
the jurors, Mr. E. C. Pierce, but he fortu
nately recovered sufficiently to] continue
on the jury.
The Superior Court will be held this
morning for the transaction of civil busi
ness, and we are authorized to announce
that jurors who havs been summoned are
discharged.
The case of Billy Gus Roberts, charged
with murder, has bfeen continued until
the April term of the court.
The Ladles Supper im Vlnerllle.
The supper to be given by the Jadies in

For the display of those articles which every one seeks

mense lot of
HOLIDAY GOODS,
which has been sent us by several of the
LARGEST ESTABLIISHMENTS
in New York we have devoted the Six Counters in
the centre of onr Mulberry Street Store, and are thor
oughly convinced that our display will be the finest in
the city.
Fancy Prices are usually asked for Christmas goods,
We are determined to dispose of our assortment
at small advance on New York prices.
Let every one in want Of a present come and
see us. We can suit your ideas, also your Pockets.
But I am Determined to Do It.
We shall this season introduce a novel feature to the
citizens of M aeon. In every department of onr business
we shall offer goodsBwhich are positively worth
Two. Three, Four, and Even Five Times.

It is a principle with us never to advertise a sale unless
we have something really desirable to sell. We seep in
mind the old story of the shepherd’s boy, who in malicious
sport, frequently alarmed the village by his cry of
‘‘THE WOLF, THE WOJL.F'!”
The villagers ran to his assistance only to find them
selves deceived; so they resolved to pay no more atten
tion to the boy’s alarm, But one day the wolf really did
come, then the boy cried out in earnest but no heed was
given to his cries, and the wolf quietly devoured the sheep..
Now just as the villagers acted towards the boy so do
our people act towards those merchants, who ory out
‘‘BARGAINS, BARGAINS,”
when, in fact, they have no bargains.
We believe it a talse policy, and it is only because we
know that we present decided inducements, that we urge
upon our people to inspect the goods advertised below.
Please take note of the following : Our entire stock
will be arranged in sections and so displayed that our
customers will be enabled to select a Present suitable for
old or young, at any price from
J^&^Five Cents to Ten Dollars,
without the inconvenience of looking over the e’atird
stock. For instance, one section will contain articles for
Ofle Dollar, as shown by card.
