TO BUY THE PROGRAMME.
Throe Members of the Company

Capt. Sneed Was a Party to the
Scheme—A Court-martial to Invest
igate the Affair.
Atlanta, Ga , Oct 28.—Late y.sterdjr
afternoon an order was issu*-d by Lseut.
CoL Ca boun suspend; g {oar members of
the Gate City G ards from duty on ac
count of disgraceful charges preferred
•gainst them by Lieut McDonald,U. S. A.,
one of the judges in the interstate drill.
A. C. Sueed is captain of the company
which won and has been paid toe $11,500
pr.ce money. In the orier of sus
pension his name heads the list Then come
those of Junior Second Lieut Charles M.

EHI BERT THE CHARGE.
These officers and men are charged with
conduct unbecoming an offi ar an la gen
tleman in that they attempted repeated.?,
by bribery, to get possession before the day
of toe drill of the judges' programme con- j
taining the orders to be given the competing
companies bv their captains. All but Capt
Sneed t.ave confessed their connection with
the ugly work. He protests his iunoce .ce,
and declares that he never saw the pro
gramme until it u given him by the
judges cn the day of the dr.lt Toe others
in toeir statement exonerate him, and say
they acted individua.lv, and not in obedience
to or .era, and signed the captain's name to
telegram, witnout his knowledge or oon
aent
A COCBT-MABTIAt TO BE HELIX
Whether or cot this is a ruse to shield
Capt. Sneed will be determined by a oourt
martial in the Dext thirty days. In the
meantime the public seems eager to give
the captain the benefit of the coobt. His
mill ary record has been high and be has
frequently been spoken of as an applicant
for the adjutant-gene alship of the stite.
On Oct. 33 the News announced that the
interstate drill had developed a big sensa
tion. Under that date Adjc. Gen.
Kelley sent to Lieut. CoL Calhoun, com
manding the Fourth bataliion, a oopy of
Lieut. McDonald’s communication and
ordered the guardsmen suspended, and
charges and specifications forwarded to his
office preiumnsry to the calling of a court
martial.

Mr. Myers then offered Mr. B. J. Rice, tbe

and was answer and "nok" Mr. Myers then left
Auburn. A short t.me afterwards Mr, Robert*,
a in-m ter of tbe said company, came and

Then Mr. Spellman, another member of the
Gate City Guard, c tme to Auburn os ensibiy to
sed printer's in and made the same proposition
to Mr Rice, and railing to get the programme,
sta and in Auburn till I left, and came oh to At
lanta on the train with me. The night before I
left with the programmes, Mr. Roberts offered
my servant, Ben Dujkey, S2O if i e would steal
one of the programmes from my desk and give
It to him. Very respectfully yours,

First Lieutenant Tenth United States Cavalry.
WHY ACTION WAS DELAYED.
Action appears to have been delayed after
CoL Calhoun received tbe adjutant general’s
orders on account of the interstate drill,
which came off next day. Meantime it was
rumored that the Guard had actually
obtained a copy of the programme, Out the
truth wascarefullyke. tail yesterdav,when
tbe real de ails of th • affair came to be gen
erally known with something approaching
accuracy. Col. Calhoun then issued tbe
suspending order*, but declined to
give them to tbe press until to
day. Messrs. Hpeiltnan, Roberta and Myers
then made a clean breast of it, acknowledg
ing that they exhausted every effort to
secure the programme, though without suc
cess. It is stat and, but upon what authority
the Morning Nlws c rrespondent is una
ble to learn, that tbe judges altered the pro
gramme before issuing it to the company
commanders in order that every charge of
unfairness might be guarded agaiust. The
affair has caused a senna ion here,
A SECOND SENSATION.
A second sensation threatens to grow out
of ttie scandal. Representatives of all the
papers have known more or lea ab ut the
facts in the case for several days, but have
been waiting for official action to bring
matters to a bead. Last night, at the re
quest of Adjt. Woodward of CoL Cal
houn’s staff, there was a general
agreement reached to hold oyer
for the present. The exact terms of
this agreement each paper probably
construed after its own fashion. AtJ all
events, the Journal printed the matter this
afternoon, and the Constitution will claim
in the morning that it thereby violated its
pledge. Several cards will be printed, some
stinging charges of breach of faith pre
ferred, and the prospect is that a good deal
of feeling will grow out of the affair.
If tbe Journal, as • claimed by
the Constitution, really pledged itself
not to print the sensation this alternoon, it
entered into an agreement very unfair to
itself, as Editor Howell expressly stipulated
that tbe embargo should app.y to bis paper
no longer than last night. Meantime the
first intin at ion of trouble was given in the
Morning News and Macou Telegraph be
fore either of the local papers knew any
thing about it.

A FIGal WITH A NEGRO.
An Officer Cut and the Black Then
Fata.ly Wounded.
Columbus, Ga., Oct. 28.—Last night
about 12 o’clock on First avenue Officer
Pinka'.on bad a thrilling encounter with a
drunken negro named Mark Carlisle. Just
before tbe fight Officer Pinkston saw Car
lisle coming down tbe etreet and advanced
toward him aud asked where he lived.
Carlisle told him that it was none of his
business. The officer then caught the negro
by tne arm to take him to the station bouse.
The negro resisted, using very abusive lan
guage aud fighting with all his might
After the negro had proven too
much for the officer, he was let
alone until help could be sum
moned. In a few minutes the
officer tried the second time to arrest him
ai.d the negro then cut him severely about
the head and neck, inflicting several very
serious wounds. Officer Pinskton then
began to fire at the negro and put a number
of ugly bullet boles in him. He was shot
three limes and two of the wounds will
probably cause death. Officer Pinskton is
now at his home resting easily and is con
sidered out of danger.
A CIRCUS TRAIN WRECKED.
Two Men and Nine Horace Killed Near
Machen.
Machen, GA.,Oct. 28.—About s:3oo’clock
this morning section I, pulling Barautn &
Bailey's circus from Macon to Athens,
stalled on a heavy grade three miles below
here, on Murder creek. The engineer of
the second section cut loose from his train,
leaving hi- cars standing at the foot of the
grade, ana pushed section 1 up to Machen,
sending a flagman back to flag down sec
tion 3,which w. a very heavy train, loaded
with tents, fixtures and three s.eepers,
pulled by two engines beadi g No. 1 and
No. 3 of tbe Cov lngton aud Macon railroad.
When the engiueer of tue third section
observed the train ahead, both engines were
in motion, ad the bauk engine slipped on
the rails.
Tbe heavy grade and frost on the track
made it impossible to control the train and
the engines crashed with the cars standing
on tbe track, completely demolishing the
two enginei, wrecki g two cars and killing
nine horses and Mack G. Can, a fl email,
and Kelly, one of tbe showmen. The dam
age to the Macon road is c nsiderable and
will delay freight business for a tew days.
A OOKNKB-STON i£ ROBBED.
A Robber Seeks Booty la an Out-of
the-way Flues at Sumner.
Sumner. Ga.. Oct. 28.—Sunday night
some cna robbed tbe corner-stone of tbe
Sumner High ScbooL It was firmly in
cased in tbe north east pillar of the building
which was completely demolished. It is
supposed the robber w as id search of money
and other valuabli s that he thought might
be sto ed there. When the corner-stone
was laid it contained save: al curiosities
that would have proven intere-ting relics to
a future generation. The ouly thing left to
be seen nex morning was a ten cents shin
plaster which was issued in 1849, an old
copy of the Albany News and
Advertiser and a copy of the Bible, the
last of which the fortune-seeker evidently
did not need. There were several peculiar
coins in the stone amounting to $3 or $4,
but all these were carried off, and it is
thought they will be a means of betraying
tbe Identity of the robbers.
ROBBERS SC OP IN S4OO.
A Doctor’s Trunk Carried Into the
Woods and Looted.
Wadley, GA.,Oct. 28. News has reached
here of a bold robbery near OdomviUe, on
the Wadley and Mount Vernon railroad,
Sunday. While Dr. J. M. Nuues was absent
on professional business some ons entered
his residence, taking a trunk containing
S4OO aud other valuable* into the wood*
near by, and, bursting it open, took out the
money, aud left uo trace behind. As there
are several turpentine farms and railroad
camps near by it is doubtful whether the
guilty parly will ever be found. They
took notkiLg that would betray them.

Railroads Asked to Reduce Freight
Rates 17 Per Cent.
Macon, Oa., Oet 28.—The Southern
Yellow Pine Association convened in the
board of trade rooms this morning. About
forty members were present. President
D. C. Bacon was in the chair and C. J.
Haden acted as secretary. The morning
session was devoted to organization. At
the afternoon session the subject of freight
rates aud facilities was discussed. It
was decided, in view of the
fact that lumber had depre
ciated 10 per cent, within the last year,
that the railroad managers should be asked
to reduce freights 17 per cent. This would
put them back to what they were two years
ago. Another matter considered was the
improvement of ths grade of lumber in
spection. A committee of five was ap
pointed by President Bacon to meet in
Maoon within thir y days to arrange the
final details. A bill was framed bearing ou
the case for presentation to tne legislature.

Phosphate in Town—a Cutting Affray
—Personal Pointers.
Thomas ville, Ga.. Oct. 28.—Thom Se
ville may be underlaid with a bed of phos
phate rock. E. M. Mailette has discovered
wi.at seems to be an extensive deposit in
the old Hardaway commons now owned bv
him. Mr. Mailette Las had a specimen of
the rock analyzed, and the result showed
that it was very rich in phosphate, testing
about 60 per cent. Building lota have been
sold by Mr. Mailette to wit in 100 feet of
where the rock shows itself at the
sirface. It will scarcely pay to
work it, as ths ground
is worth from SSOO to sl,ouo per acre for
purp ses other than the phosphate. Still it
iridica es how extensive and widespread
pho-pbute deposits maybe. This rock te
sembles white chalk in appearance, but only
in appearance, a* it is among the very
richest of the phosphates.

dangerously cut.
