Mrs. Andrews and Her Two Children, Quests

Since the Fire and It is Thought
That They Perished.
Between four and five thousand peo
ple saw Auburn torn defeat into victory
at Brisbine Park yesterday.
Georgia was defeated by a score of 18
to it. It was a close and exciting con
test, aiul Georgia had all the best of it
during the first part of the game.
When the referee’s whistle sounded
at the end of the first half the score
stood la to 4 in favor of Georgia and the
w« art rs of the red and black were wild
with enthusiasm
In the second half by hard work the
A’. ’ amians ran the score np by degrees
until finally when play was over they
wi re the victors, by the narrow margin
one score.
The game was not characterized by any
ex '-optionally brilliant plays. Both
teams fought liard to win and luck j
play, d a conspicuous part in the con- !
t st. From a disentered standpoint it
was a beautiful game, particularly so in
t ie last half, and not until the last
minute of play was the game lost and
won.
Thirteen Their Jonah.
There is a fatality connected with the
number thirteen so far as the Varsity
fnotball team is concerned. This num
ber is a jonah to them. After winning
fr< in every team they went against the
team lost to North Carolina in Macon 44
110. At Milledgeville the special train
that carried a score or two of dead-game
sports was sidetracked and a change of
engines made. The engine that polled
the. wearers of the red and black into
Macon was No. 13,000 and the score was
three times thirteen and over against
Varsity.
Yesterday the score stood 13 to 4 in
Varsity's favor at the end of the first
half.
Had it been 14 to 4 instead of the
"blasted number 13” the score would
have been tied at least and Georgia
might have won. Thirteen is a Jonah
and the team can’t shake it. Fortunate
ly the fooibali season is over.
Unless orders are received to the con
trary the brigade of United States Sol*
diers now in camp here will leave Camp
Haskell for Cuba within the next few
days.
There is a bare probability of the sol
diers remaihing here, but very little
probability of their doing so.
The order to break camp is positive
and General Randall is confident that
no countermand ordera will be issued.
General Oates thinks that he will be on
his way to Cuba by Sanday, and with
him goes the entire three regiments.
He was in communication with the war
department yesterday, and it is given
oat authoritively that the troops go far-
ward at the earliest possible moment.
One regiment will follow another
twenty-four hours apart, and by Tuesday
morning Camp Haskell will be a thing
of the past.
General Randall and his staff have
not as yet received any orders so far as
they are individually concerned, and it
is not known at present whether the
commanding general will remain in
Th* Crop I* About Gathered and the Chances are
Good tor an Advance in Price.
The cotton season has almost come to
a close. For the past few days the fleecy
staple has not been coming so fast and
the farmers who come into the city say
that they have almost gathered .their
crops. In fact, all of the cotton sonthof
Athens has been gathered and the farm
ers have already begun to torn their
lands for the coming year.
The farmers who live north ot Athens |
are still bringing in cotton, and it will
probably bo the 15th of December before
they gather the entire crop. The recent
rain has not damaged the cotton which
has been open on the stalk and the qual
ity of cotton brought in the past week
has been the best that has been seen in
the citv this reason. This, of course,
has tended to raise the price somewhat
and the farmers who now have cotton to
sell will get a better price for it than
earlier in the season.

San Francisco. Nov. 24.—A careful
estimate of the loss by the Baldwin hotel
fire places the total loss at $1,500,000, on
which, at the outside, there was not
over $160,000 insurance.
The insurance, $50,006, carried on the
hotel, was ridiculously small. The rea
son for this lay in the high rate charged
and the fact that the underwriters did| Athena indefinitely or be ordered else-

Will Get No rtore Soldiers.
The chances are decidedly against
other regiments taking the place of those
now here. In fact it is almost a settled
fact that we are to have no more sol
diers for some time to come, if at all.
Many people are under the impression
that on account of this beiDg a perma
nent camp other soldiers will be se.it
here. This is a mistake n idea. In the
first place, there are no more soldiers to
come, as they will all be sent to Cuba.

that the Classic City is yet to receive

The officers in command of the three
regiments are very busy making hasty
preparations for departure. The floors
and tents will all be shipped direct to
Savannah and nothing wiil remain at
the camp except the buildings now be
ing erected. This goes as a circum
stance pointing to the permanent aban
donment of the camp, and a strong cir

The new Krag-Jorgensen rifle for the
regiments at Camp Haskell were re
ceived yesterday morning, and will
probably be distributed at. once among
the troops. The soldier boys have been
expecting them for several days, and
will be glad to lay aside the heavy
Springfield for the new and light Krag,
with its steel bullet and smokeless
powder.
The new rifle carries six cartridges,
whereas the old Springfield has to be
reloaded after each shot. A Krag ballet
will go through any ordinary oak tree,
penetrating forty-two inches of solid
oak, and is in every rfcspect a most for
midable weapon. _
Occurred Yesterday st Camp Haskell—Another
To-day.
The Two Hundred and Second New
York regiment had a dress parade at 4
o'clock yerterday, which was witnessed
by a large number of people. It was a
treat to watch this crack regiment drill
and the spectators were delighted with
the hospitable reception accorded them
by the officers in command. Another
dress parade will be held this afternoon
at the same hour, and those who visit
Camp Halkell will witness a sight that
is not only novel and instructive, but
one that is well worth walking to the
camps to behold.
AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE.

Thanksgiving day was appropriately
observed in Athens yesterday. Practi
cally every business honse in the city
was closed and the banks, city schools,
and public offices all took a holiday.
Thanksgiving dinners were enjoyed
tbronghont all parts of the city and the
three leading hotels, the Victoria, Com
mercial and Windsor, each served their
guests with a maguificient spread. An
elaborate bill of fare was shoved nnder
the nose of each guest and the three
landlords vied with each other in a su
preme effort to excell. This met with
the admiration ah<2 approval of the
guests and the result was that every
body enjoyed the hospitality so lavishly
bestowed.
Religeous services were conducted in
the different chnrches and large congre
gations at-tf nded and many sports
sought the fields in search of Mr. Par
tridge. It was a difficult matter to find a
man in town who was not “celebrating”
and the celebration was -of the right
sort, at that.
Citizen and soldier feasted together
and hundreds of Uncle Sam’s boys
were invited to eat their first Thanks
giving dinner with our tboughtfnl and
hospitable people Together the North
ern soldier and the Southern gentleman
celebrated the great national holiday
side by side and the Yankee and the
Rebel joined hands and agreed that
there was in reality no longer any sec
tional lines Thirty-four years ago it
would have been impossible almost to
find a southerner who would sit at a
table with a man wearing a blue uni
form, to-day the Union soldier was an
invited and honored guest. Time heals
all wounds and while the Sooth can
never forget she can forgive and that
she has forgiven was manifested yester
day by the reception the gentleman of
the North received at the hands of the
gentleman and ladies of this, our fair
Southland, noted the world over for its
unbounded hospitality.
Many of the soldiers received boxes of
good things from home and Thanksgiv
ing dinner at Camp Haskell was in con
sequence an elaborate affair. Many of
the companies had a regular turkey din
ner, furnished from their company fond,
to which ample justice was done, it be
ing a diversion from the general rontine
hard-tack with
salt horse dressing.” The dinner was
swell in every way and the trooper
who was dissatisfied yesterday would
kick after he is killed in Cuba.
The soldier hoys are thankful for
many things and ordinarily would, offer
thanks to the government for the recent
orders to proceed to Cuba, but so well
do they like the Classic city and its
people that they are praying to Btay
where they are. May their prayers be
answered and orders issued counter
manding the order to depart. Athen
ians will then be happy and doubly
thankful for the many blessings show
ered upon them by an All Wise Being
and Divine Providence.

PATTI WEDS IN FEBRUARY.
Announced That the Great Singer Will Marry
Kederstrout.
London, Nov. 24.—Adelina Patti has
fixed her marriage to Baron Kederstrom
in the first week in February. She has
received already warm letters of con
gratulation from the Prince and Princess
of Wales, the Duke and Dutchess of
York and czar and czarina,
Baron Kederstrom is noted in Sweed-
en as an athlete and is oqe of the most
expert exponents of the Sweedish gym
nastic system. Consequently his advice
in organizing gymnariums on the-
Sweedisb system has been much sought
in London,! Berlin, Vienna and P;iris.
It was while he was engaged in a similar
undertaking at Pau early this year that
Adt-lina Patti met him.
His gymnastic performance is the acme
of manly grace and has wou for him
n merous medals and trophies in ame-
teur competitions in Sweeden. .
Kederstrom is a typical, handsome
Norseman, with a perfect physique aud
winning manners. He is also a gifted
vocalist.
Paris, Nov. 24.—The Spanish commis
sioners at noon today had not fixed upon
the day to submit their final answer to
the American propositions, but it is
most likely that Saturday will be the
day appointed. The opinion gams
ground that the Spaniards will accept
the proposals of the United States. A
significant indication of this view of the
situation was a remark dropped by Se-
nor Abazuza, of the Spanish commission
today that they expected to remain here
about a fortnight longer.
The secretary of the Spanish commis
sion, Senor Ojeda, said today that the
instructions from Madrid were not suffi
ciently matured to enable them to ap
point the next meeting.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press asked Senor Abarznza today if the
commissions wonld be able to leave
Paris next week with the treaty, and he
replied with a sidelong glance as to ob
serve whether his questioner noted the
significance of the reply: “I suppose
we shall be here for another fortnight.”
"Why,” the Spanish commissioner
was asked, "is the opinion expressed so
emphatically by a portion of the Paris
press that you will decline the $20,000,-
000, but will sign the treaty with a pro
test that you do so only under the pres
sure of superior power?”
"Well, it does seem that $20,000,000 is
not very satisfactory.”
This was semi-evasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat answered
the question.
The questioner continued:
"Then, it has been affirmed that Spain
will refuse to Bign the treaty, decline
the money offered and make a protest
to the powers, and that her commission
ers will go home. Is that the most like
ly result?”
"Ah, but we should not anticipate;
we should know day by day what hap
pens day by day.”
“And so you anticipate a fortnight
more of daily developments here?”
“Ah, yes. A fortnight. Perhaps
some affair may be attended to in that
time.”
Thanksgiving Day is cold, wet and
dreary.
The United States peace commission
ers were the guests of Whitelaw Reid at
a Thanksgiving luncheon at the hotel.
The Paetit Bleu reaffirms today as a
certainty that the Spanish commission
ers will refuse the American offer of
$20,000,000 for a treaty cession of the
Philippines.
