was adjudged insane several years ago and was

home and resumed business and was getting
along very well until lately when his mental de

While workmen were engaged in repairing
electric light wires on Mulberry street at Macon
Thursday afternoon one of tho wires fell and
lodged on the trolley wire of the Consolidate i
railroad, and in a second a streak o blue Are
ran along the wire irom Sol Hoge'scorner to
Fourth street. The workmen at once realized
their danger and got out of the way of the wire
that was dancing and whirling about the street.
The Buj>erintendent, realizing that it would not
do to let the wire remain over the trolley wire,
directed two of tho negroes to place a rope
around it and raise it off, but when this was
tried It was found that it would not work. Then
ono of the negroes, more venturesome than
the rest, decided that he w’ould lift the wire
from the trolley wire by means of a pair cf
tweezers. Taking the tweezers in his hand he
boldly walked up to the wire aud clamped it
In less than a second he fell .backward as if
•hot, the tweezers flying in one direction and
bis bat in another. It was fully five minutes
before the negro recovered consciousness and
when be did he looked at Supt. Morgan in a
dazed way and paid: “Rosa, did you see dut?”
The rope was then tied again and the wire
finally placed in position, but not before oon
fciderable damage .had been done several tele
phones on the circuit on which the wire was
located.
Lafayette 3 fruenoer: Between 10 and 11
o'clock Saturday night the citizens near the
Bronco mines heard a dozen or more shots. Tne
point from which the firing came was west of
the C. S. railroad, 400 or 500 yards below
the Rogers switch. At the time nothing was
thought of the matter. From what was
learned afterward tho shooting was part of
a bloody fight that may bring death to more
than ono. Those engaged were some of tho
miners on one side and on the other four younr
men who had gone into the neighborhood to sell
wild cat whisky. They were Henry Arnold,
Henry Partin and John and James Lynch. The
3wo last v,e believe are minors. The report is
that what brought on the trouble was an attack
made on one of the LyLchs. Henry Barton
either pushed or knocked down hts assailant
Then the fltfht became general. The miners had
knives. The other side a couple of pistols
The knives carried the day and the
moonshiners were scattered, some of them
badly wounded. The mule and buggy, the keg
and jug of whisky were loft to their fate.
Henry Partin reached town about daybreak,
bleeding and badly wounded. On bin back near
the spine were two stabs from a dirk. There
was also a cut on the side of his face The
band wh ch had warded off thar blow suffered
from the knife. During the night Henry Ar
nold and James Lynch, the latter carried by hie
brother, reached 1 W. Kenney's on the Ward
law place. In .Arnold's right breast there waa
a gaping wound penetrating the lungs and made
by a dirk. Jim Lynch hail been stabbed from
behind the shoulder. Of the miners it is said
that one was shot three times, one twice and
one once. Who th ey are or where they are is kept
dark. Henry Partin was taken to John Coul-
ter’s on the Alabama road. Prompt medical at
tent ion was given by Drs. Hammond and Un
derwood to Henry Arnold at I. W. Kenney's,
but his cast* was hopekss. Henry Arnold died
Tuesday night.
Atlanta Journal: Prof. William C. Rehm,
the well-Known Atlanta musician, had an ex
perience last night beside which the most hor
rible nightmare, born of fried ban and mince
pics, will boa pleasaut dream. To begin at the
beginning, yesterday Prof. Rehm nnd his friend
SteTo Ryan, were chatting pleasantly in the
Kimball house arcade, when Stevo remarked:
“Rebm, what do you say to a ride out on an
electric car this warm evening?" ‘‘She’s a go,
Steve." The two boarded a Ponce de Leon car
and were soon out of tho dusty city. Out on
Ponce <ie Leon avenue Ryan proposed to get off
and oujoy the fresh air a while and take the
next car back to town. The professor waa agree
able. As they sauntered aloog they reached
ft dark place, where the overlapping trees
shut out the starlight. "It's devilish gloomy
along hero,'' remar ktd Ryan. "Are you armed,
Rebm?" No, I'm not," was the reply with u
little icy quiver in the voice, /nother step or
two and three masked men stepped out of the
shadows aud presented cocked revolvers at the
heads of tho strollers. Ryan immediately
showed fight much to Kehm's consternation.
Rang ’ Bang! Bang! Above the sharp report
of the pistol the voice of Ryan was heard as he
sank to the giound: "O, my, 1 m shot:" The
cry came to the cars of Rehm in the distant
r ar. Up the street he fled in wild aid disor
derly flight And as he ran there came the
rapid firing of pistols on either side.
Thinking it was the police mistaking
him for a burglar, the professor cried
out: "Stop! I am a law-abiding citizen!"
But. no, it was a reinforcement of the
bandits, and the professor redoubled his bpeed.
Into a ditch he plunged and scrambled up the
banks covered with dirt and mud. Finding
voice at last, he cried lustily all the wild cries
of the frightened and distressed. Windows and
doors opened. Nightcaps snowed in the opened
casements, aud men. women and children ap
reared on the balconies ia their night dresses.
Finally h3 sank down overcome with fatigue.
C. :R Snyder played the part of the Good
Samaritan, and gave the professor water aud
helped him to rise. He was placed on a street
c r bound for the city. When he leiched the
Kimball house-muddy, pale, shaking and
trembling—he found Steve Ryan. The boys had
played a joke on him!

Key West Pennant : Many of our citizens
will recall Dr. Glsnnon and his wife who were
bright society people here a few years ago. Tne
doctor is a Washington boy an i after gradua
ting at the United States marine hospital serv
ice was stationed at the marine hospital
here for some years. He was ono of the most
genial, lovable of men an 1 his wifo, who was a
daughter of the distinguished Kenneth Raynor
of North Carolina, was an eccentric but very
attractive lady. They had an Interesting
family. The doctor was finally ordered to the
North Pacific coast and disappeared from view.
But now, how chauged tne scene. Dr. Gieunon
has been put on waiting orders at Bivpelo stat
ion in a mam of health and mental condition
that lorebodes h 8 retirement, possibly, from
tte service, and his wife, divorced from him, is
a clerk in the surgeon general’s office at
Washington. This reads like irony ou human
pride aud aspirations, but life is made up so
frequently of mishaps that the sad stories
rather prepare us for what may come next.

New York. Aprils.—Tho Nun’s cotton review
says: "If it had not been lor the expectation of
large receipt* at New Orleans Mouday a net ad
vance In prices to day would undoubtedly have
been more pronounced. The news from Liver
pool was of a nature to make bsars nervous sod
correspondingly to raise tne hopes of bulls, in
the most active season of the year spot trans
actions in Liverpool on Saturday are
seldom, if ever, any larger than
they were to-day, and futures showed
unmistakable strength. The weather in Texas
has latterly been too dry. The more hopeful
tenor of Liverpool news of late has oaused some
elimination of ahort interest and encouraged
buy log to some extent for a rise Tho market
received, however, a setbacK from tho New Or
leans estimate for Monday, and at the close the
ardor of the bulls was eomewbat dampened.
Prices advanced 6 points on April and
9 points to 12 points on other
months, closing, however, at a net
improvement of only 1 to 4 points liu most
months, with the tone easy and sales or 125,090
bales. Liverpool advanced 4to points and
closed very steady, with spot sales of 8,000 bales,
New Orleans advanced 10 to 12 points, but lost
about one half of the latter. Spot
prices here were firm at 8 9-160 for
mi idling-uplands, with salas of 500 bales for
export and 104 for spinning. New Orleans
expects 10,000 bales on Monday. The stock m
licensed warehouses here waa 264,354, against
87,723 bales this time last year. Receipts at
tbo porta were estimated at 6.000, against 60)
this day last week and 0,860 last year. Septem
