Action of tlie Meeting Last Night.
Preparations for the May Parade.
A meeting of the officers of the Au
gusta Fire Department was held at
Pioneer Hall last night for the purpose
of making preparations for the May
parade of the Department.
Chief Frank Smyth presided, and an
nounced the object of the meeting.
After the remarks of Chief Smyth,
Capt. Roulette moved that the Depart
ment have a contest in connection with
the May parade.
Capt. Conlon, of No. 5, moved that
reels attached to the steamer com
panies be allowed to enter the contest.
Capt. Adam, of the Georgia, said his
company did not desire to enter the
contest. His company, being a steamer
company, would enter for the steamer
prize; hence they did not consider they
were doing justice to reel companies to
enter for another prize.
Capt. Mahoney, of Clinch, No. 2,
moved that the rules governing the
contest of last year govern the contest
of this year.
After remarks by several officers,
Lieut. McLemore, of No. 4, moved that
in the reel contest the rules in force
last year govern the contest this year.
Adopted.
Lieut. Wallace, of No. 1, thought
Hook and Ladder ought to take a reel
and engage in that contest.
Upon a call for an expression of
opinion by the officers of the steemer
companies, Capt. Adam stated he had
learned that the Chief had sketched
the outline of a programme for the
steamer contest.
Capt. Mahoney, of No. 2, moved that
each steamer be allowed 20 minutes at
the cistern and 30 pounds of steam.
After considerable discussion regard
ing the arrangements for the steamer
contest, and several motions being
made, a motion of Capt. T. P. Roulette
to leave the arrangements for the con
test entirely with the commanding of
ficers of the steamer companies, was
adopted.
The Chief hoped the officers would
immediately complete arrangements
for the steamer contest.
The Chief stated that the Charleston
Brass Band, engaged by the Schuetzen
Club, could be obtained for the fire
men’s parade at a cost of $lO per day
for each member of the band, the total
amount being sllO for the whole band.
After considerable discussion and
motions made by different members, a
motion by Lieut. John Quinn, of No. 6,
to leave the matter of employing a
band and paying for it to the Chief and
Assistants of the Department, to be
disposed of as they see proper, was
adopted.
A t the suggestion of the Chief, the
captains of the steamer companies re
tired to the hall above for the purpose
of completing arrangements for the
steamer contest.
Upon the retirement of these offi
cers the Secretary read the following
letter of invitation from Charlotte,
N. C.:

the celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the Mecklenburg Decla

this city, 20th of May, prox. The bold
action of our forefathers in thus throw
ing down the gauntlet to the British
Lion was the first step looking to the
achievement of American liberty, and
its memory should be held dear alike
to all lovers of liberty, be they citizens
of North Carolina or a sister State.
A large number of citizens, military
and fire organizations, have already
signified their intention of being pres

gladly welcome you as participants in
the ceremonies, assuring you of a
warm welcome and all the attention in
our power to bestow.
An early answer is desired to this
our invitation, in order that the names
of your companies may be placed on
the programme.
Yours, very respectfully,
R. H. Glover,
Secretary Fire and Military Com.
On motion, the invitation was re
ceived, and companies desiring to at
tend were accorded permission to do
so.
Capt. Platt, of Pioneer Hook and
Ladder, moved that a vote of thanks
be tendered Mr. Berckmans for his do
nation of plants and flowers for the
firemen’s section in the City Cemetery,
and also that Mr. B. be informed that
the reason why action was not taken
at the former meeting was because the
meeting was called for a certain pur
pose, and they could not then take ac
tion regarding the donation. The mo
tion was adopted.

The Trotting Matches at the Fair

To-Day.
The weather yesterday morning was
rather cold, cloudy and gloomy, but
just after the hour of noon the sun
shone out clear, and a fine afternoon
was anticipated for the trotting races
of the Jockey Club at the Fair

number of visitors at the Fair Grounds,
and considerable interest was mani
fested in the result of the races.
BALE OF POOLS.
In the sale of pools by Mr. A. F.
Cler, at the Globe Hotel, Monday
night, for the first race Ross was first
choice, and for the second race Gen.

was the first choice with Roanoke
second. After the first heat Roanoke
was the favorite, but after the second
and third heats Gilt Edge sold first. For

first heat.
In the start Black Dick took the
lead, with Gilt Edge and Roanoke
close on his heels and Ross in the rear.
The three former kept very well to
gether throughout the heat, though
some breaks were made and slight
change of positions occurred, Ross
still in the rear and losing ground
gradually throughout the first half
mile. The three first came in close to
gether, and the latter just saving his
distance, in the following order ; Gilt
Edge first, Black Dick second, Roanoke
third, Ross fourth. Time, 3:03%.
After this heat the judges announced
that the second race would be lapped,
commencing after the next heat.
SE'XSND HEAT.
In the start, Gilt Edge took the lead,
Black Dick 2d, Roanoke 3d, and Ross
in the rear. All moved along steadily
through the first quarter, and entering
the second quarter, Roanoke passed
Black Dick. After passing the half
mile, Black Dick fell behind, and was
passed by Ross; but the latter, on the
lower turn, broke badly and lost con
siderably, while the others came up the
home stretch finely. They came under
the string in the following order : Gilt

These positions were kept through the
second half mile; on the home stretch
Roanoke getting far ahead, and coming
under the string first and winning the
heat, while the other two came almost
neck and neck, Black Dick, though,
slightly ahead. Time, 2:57%.
After this heat Roanoke’s owner
contended that Gilt Edge should have
been declared distanced, while the
judges, after consultation, decided
otherwise, and therefore Gilt Edge af
terward trotted under protest.
FOURTH HEAT.
At the start Roanoke took the lead,
Gilt Edge next, and Black Dick in the
rear. On the first half mile the dis
tance between the horses was increased
and the position obtained at the start
was not changed, and they came in as
they started, with considerable dis

out the heat, coming under the string
a little over one length ahead. Time,

This was run after the third heat of
the first race. Gen. Hood again took
the lead, and kept it to the end, com
ing in barely a length ahead of Sand
Hill. Time, 2:45.
THIRD HEAT.
Gen. Hood again led his competitor,
keeping ahead until on the home
stretch, when Sand Hill pushed him
close and once appeared as though he
would come in first, but he broke
slightly and the General moved in
steadily, winning the heat and race.
Time—2:42%.
FOURTH HEAT.
Gilt Edge took the lead, but after
ward fell behind, and Roanoke went
forward, but Black Dick continued in
the rear. Roanoke came in under the
string ahead, winning the heat and
race. Time, 2:59.
THE RUNNING RACE,
free for all, did not take place, having
been postponed until to-day.
THE RACES TO-DAY
promise to be the most interesting
that have occurred this season, and a
large crowd is expeeted to be present.
After the races to-day a grand drag
fox chase will take place for a purse of
$25, only fox hounds being allowed to
enter. The entries will close to-day at
12 m. We learn that several very fine
packs of hounds will be entered, and
remarkably fine sport is anticipated.
This chase will prove the event of the
season.
POOLS.
In the sale of the pools last night, at
the Globe Hotel, by Mr. A. T. Cler, the
favorites were for the trotting race
John H, and for the running race
Heckle's George. Pools on the races
and the fox chase will bo sold at the
Fair Grounds to-day, commencing at 1
o’clock.
The Street Cars run to the Fair
Grounds for the accommodation of per
sons attending the races. They com
mence to run to that terminus at 1
o’clock and continue until late in the
evening. The Street Railroad, with
commendable enterprise, yesterday had
two cars ready at the Fair Grounds’
terminus at the close of the races to
return visitors to the city.

AN' ACTOR. SHOT.
A Woman the Cause of it, as Usual.
A Macon Blood Tries to Visit One of
the Rentz Troupe, and Gets Mauled.
He Shoots the Actor at the Macon
Depot. Two Serious Wounds In
flicted. Statement from Both Sides.
When the train from Macon arrived
yesterday, the city was startled by the
announcement that one of the Rentz
troupe had been seriously wounded,
and it was soon noised about town that
he had been shot by a young man in
Macon whom he had beaten for at
tempting to enter the room of one of
the female members of the troupe. As
numerous versions of the rencontre
were afloat, a News reporter called on
the wounded man at his room in the
National Hotel, and inquired for
HIS VERSION OF THE DIFFICULTY.
We found him in bed attended by
several members of the troupe. His
name is Hill, and he is a middle-sized
man of powerful physique and looked
as though he would speedily recover
from his injuries. He seemed quite
willing to talk of the affair, and below
we give the substance of what he said :
“ While stopping in Macon, at the
Lanier House, two young men who oc
cupied a room adjoining one contain
ing two ladies of the troupe,
MISS MOLLIE DEMAR
and friend, kept continually annoying
them by sending notes of an insulting
character by messenger without re
ceiving any reply. They afterwards
pushed notes through the opening at
the threshold of the door, stating that
they would visit them at noon. They
made no reply to these insults, but
sent word to me, and I went to their
room to offer them protection. Just
as the clock struck twelve the door
connecting the two rooms was forced
open and a head projected into the
room. The owner of it, seeing the re
flection of my face in the glass oppo
site, immediately retired. I followed
in the room and found the two men
there, and immediately proceeded to
deal with them as the circumstances
warranted. Although I thought noth
ing of the threats made at the time
against me, and during the afternoon
walked to a neighboring drug store
with my friend Billy Emmett. We
there encountered the two men again,
but nothing but words passed benween
us.
EMMETT, SPEAKING FOR ME,
offered to give Strohecker, the leader
of the two, any satisfaction ho might
demand. To this ho only replied by
threats to which I paid no attention. I
returned to the hotel and prepared to
leave on the seven o’clock train for
Atlanta.
ON REACHING THE DEPOT
I got out of the hotel omnibus and pro
ceeded through the waiting room into
the depot. Just as I entered the depot
Strohecker approached suddenly, and
drawing a revolver, fired sidewise at
me. The ball struck me at the base of
the nose. While reeling from the ef
fects of the shot I held up my arm to
defend myself, when he tired a second
time, the ball striking me in the right
arm close to the elbow.
HE FIRED AGAIN,
but missed me. I was taken on board
the train and attended by a surgeon
who happened to be present. I came
as far as Barnesville, when, fearing
hemorrhage, I got off and was placed
in charge of the doctor. Afteww-.rds,
feeling strong, I came to Atlanta.
MEDICAL ATTENDANCE.
On arriving at Barnesville, Hill was
suffering greatly from hemorrhage. Ho
was at once placed in the hands of Dr.
J. C. C. Blackburn, whose skillful treat
ment enabled him to resume his jour
ney here. The doctor came on with
him, and is now with him at the Na
tional, where he is doing everything
possible for him. The ball that struck
his face is lodged somewhere in the
facial muscles and the wound is con
sidered very serious. The patient
bears up wall, and under the efficient
treatment of Dr. Blackburn is likely to
recover.
Report from Macon—Strohecker’s At
tentions Accepted—How He Was
Assaulted—The Denouement.
[Special Telegram to the News.
Macon, March 29,1875.
A shooting affray occurred here last
night, in which a member of the Rentz
Minstrel Troupe, Mr. W. P. Hill’ was
shot and seriously wounded in the
arm and face by E. L. Strohecker, Jr.,
of this oity. The particulars, so far as
can be learned, are, that on Saturday
night, Strohecker, who occupied a
room adjoining that of one of the la
dies of the troupe, at the Lanier House,
put a note under the door of her
room, asking the privilege of calling
at twelve o’clock and drinkmg a
bottle of wine, etc. She replied
that it would bo agreeable, and
Strohecker kept the appointment. Upon
entering the room he found two or
three of the male members of the
troupe, among whom was Hill. He
immediately retreated to his own room,
where he was followed by the men, set
upon and severely beaten. On Sunday
night, as the train was about leaving
for Atlanta on which the troupe were
to leave the city, Strohecker entered
the depot and approaching Hill, fired
upon him twice with a Smith & Wes
son revolver.
Considerable excitement was created,
and Strohecker was arrested. Many
rumors are current upon the streets,
but these are the facts as nearly as
they can be synopsized. Strohecker
has waived a preliminary examination
before the Mayor and given bond in the
sum of $2,000 to appear and answer to
the charge of assault with intent to
murder. Bibr.

EDWARD BARRY & CO.,

THE EVIDENCE presented in the statements of the respectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this CONCENTRA
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to be equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that boing composed of a base of raw-bone, decomposed with Sulphuric Acid
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the tsvo great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
