HOW IT HAPPENED.
The Deaths of Miss Connelly and Mr
Henry Lamar.
Augusta, Ga., March 11.—[Special]
The whole city is sorrowing
Over the death of two of its most pop- I
ular and charming young people.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Henry Lamar
and Miss Louise Connelly entered a
small row-boat at the head of Lake
Olmstead aud rowed otttupoa that beau
tiful sheet of water. Mr. Lamar was an
experienced oarsman, and one of the
most powerful anil prudent young men
iu the city.
Probably the idea of riding down the
canal and looking at the floods along
thebauks of the river, was in the minus
of the young people. Not a thought of
danger confronted them
At the foot of Lake Olmstead the
river and the canal are very near to
gether,.being separated only by a strong
rip rap bank. At this point are the
flood gates which pass the water from
the canel into the acquedcut, turning
t he wheel of the Shamrock mill, xes-
te day these gates were open on account
o f the high pressure of water the canal,
so as to relieve the first level of as much
water possible. ....
It was near this point evidently, tbat
t he boat of Mr. Lamar became unman
ageable. and in sice of his powerful and
The following were among those who ra pij strokes, must have been swept by
The justices they longed for never
came.
And there was no commitment trial
yesterday of the men charged with
complicity in the Saulter shooting.
After waiting several hours in the
rain the crowd that had gathered at
Mr. Saulters slowly dispersed but not
before that had been some lively times.
Given a crowd, a rainy day, difler-
ences of opinion and a bar room in this
Olintry and the chances are that there
will be a first class row.
Yesterday morning early, Sheriff L.
E. Brooks of Madison county took his
prisoners over to Mr. Saulters where
the commitmept trial was to be held.
His prisoners were V. T. Reeves and
Joe Bone.
Each one of them was anxious for a
trial and disappointed when it did jiot
otpur.
Both the prisoners seemed at ease and
walked into Mr. Saulters room and
talked to him.
HOW ABOUT THIS.
When it was found that the justice
Was not coining Keeves offered to give
bond as did Bone.
And right h«re something occurred
tbat astonished theerowd.
Though Reeves bondsman was good
for ten times the amount of the bond
required, and so known to be by the
Sheriff, the bond was refused.
Col. Geo. C. Thoma-, Mr. Reeves’ at
torney, used every effort to get Sheriff
Brooks to change ins mind but without
avail.
The bond was refused most preremp-
torily. . . "
Aud the question now is what right
the sheriff bad to refuse this bond?
U p to date no explanation has been
given.
When Frank Batry was arrested
Athens, on the same charge that Reeves
and Bone were arrested, lie was allow
ed to give bond to appear at the next
term of the superior court in
county. . , . , ,
This bond was signed by his father
and fixed by the sheriff, with no justice
of the peace connected directly or in
directly in the matter.
Now why was bond refused for Reeve*
and Bone under exactly siaiilarcitcuin-
staeces?
That it was is a fact and the prisoners
were both carried to the Madison
county jail at Daniqlsville, where they
will remain until Saturday March 14th,
when the commitment trill will take
place.
LIVELY TIMES.
For a few minutes it looked as if there
was going to be a serious shooting af
fray betweeu the whites aud blacks.
The more timid of the crowd sought
shelter behind the friendly tre>s and
shivered until the crowd quieted down.
The whisky had been flowing pretty
freely and at 12 o’clock a large portion
of the crowd wa3 well primed.
A negro who had been impertinent
was knocked down by a white boy.
In an instaut there was wild con
fusion, an intermixture of white and
black forms, a struggle and a flash of

Macon, Ga., March 1!.—The Macon
Construction company is in some trouble
apparently with contractors, McTighe &
Co. Recently Sparks formed a combina
tion with President Robinson, of the
■Seaboard aud Roanoke system, by which
Robinson was to guarantee 6 per cent,
interest on the stock of the Macon Con
struction company and its roads.
Some time ago the stock went from
$10,000 per 6bare to $32,000, and then
fell back as low as $17,000, but when the
Seaboard and Roanoke deal was report
ed, the stock advanced to $40,000 per
Bhare, and the shareholders last week re
fused to sell at that figure. A few’ days
ago the Seaboard and Roanoke people
came to Macon and went over the Geor
gia Southern line with Sparks.
Sparks returned to Macon alone, and
it is understood that the Seaboard and
Roanoke people returned to Baltimore.
It is reported tbat president Robinson
was not as well pleased with the Geor
gia Southern and his deal as he was ex
pected to be, and the agreement or com
bination he had made with SparkB was
declared off. This, therefore, ha< caused
McTighe & Co. to proceed against the
Macon construction company aud ask for
a receiver.
McTighe & Co. have two claims ag
gregating $397,000, and upon their ap
plication the Bibb superior court has
appointed W. B. Sparks temporary re
ceiver. It is thought some combination
will be fonuqd tbat will relieve the
company of its embarrassment.
Mr. Sparks, president, says that a con
tract for the lease of the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad to the Seaboard
Roanoke railroad was drawn up and
signed by the latter company on a basis
of earnings by the former of $800,000.
Investigation has shown that all state
ments made by the authorities of the G.
S. & F. to the Seaboard and Roanoke
are c >rrect.
There was no evidence of dissatisfac
tion in regard to the transaction what
ever, and no hint of a refusal to com
ply until at Palatka last Sunday night
Mr. Robinson stated his intention not to
take charge o' the property.
The true reasons have as yet been with
held from the public, if, indeed, they
are known to the authorities of tlie Ma
con Construction company. _ The effect
in financial circles is depressing.
■While many who hold the stock of the
company are able to stand whatever loss
may be entailed by legal proceedings, or
shrinkage, there are many holders who
are not able to bear the losses.
Tlie bauks will in no way whatever be
affected. Some are not principally in
terested in tlie matter at a 1, and those
that are have ample security outside of
the stock on which advances have been
made.
She occurrence is the talk of the city,
KENTUCKY RACES
Declared Legal by One of the Learn
ed Judges.
Louisville, Ky., March 10.—Tuesday
morning Judge Thompson rendered a
decision in the celebrated pool room
cases.
It is in the nature of a sensation. He
holds that horse racing is not a game of
chance, and that pool rooms cannot be
prosecuted under the gambling laws.
He therefore dismissed the defendants,
which includes the proprietors of the
five pool rooms in this city. Au appeal
will be made.
If the judgment holds in the highei
court at least a dozen new pool room*
will be started in the state.
ALLIANCE PLANS
Outlined by a Western Congressman
Washington.
Washington, March 10.—Jerry Simp
son, the Alliance member-elect from the
Seventh Kausas district, is already be
ginning to "kick” about the laborious
duties of his position. He says he~u
overwhelmed with letters requiring hia
attention, and he thinks a congressman
has entirely too much department work
to do.
In fact, Mr. Simpson’s predecessor,
Judge Peters, found it necessary to em
ploy a private secretary out of his own
salary to attend to the bulk of his corre
spondence.
It appears there is a busy time ahead
of Jerry, if he tries it all himself. But
he won’t. He says the Alliance mem
bers have a plan. They propose that all
claims si tall be referred to the sub-Alli
ance in the locality where it originates.
The local Alliance will investigate it—
that is, make a sort of sub-court of
claims out of itself—and" render a decis
ion. If the claim is found worth}, it
will be sent to the congressman with a
proper indorsement. In this way the
congressman will not be annoyed by the
innumerable unworthy claims.
‘‘There is another matter which the
Alliance will seek to remedy,” says Mr.
Simpson, as the mouthpiece of the Alli
ance congressional delegation, “and that
is crowding of the calendar with private
bills. Thu Alliance propose?, tbat public
business shall be transacted first.”
Mr. Simt>son says these reforr.is will
be considered at a conference to be held
here next fall, and plans for their inau
guration will be then adopted.
A Factory Endangered.
Spartanburg, S. C m March 10.—A
dispatch has reached here which says
that the entire first floor of the Pelham
factory is under water. Much of ths
first floor has been washed away,and the
whole be tiding is hourly expected to fall
Tlie factory is the property of a joint
stock company, and is valued at $150,
000. The factory is on the Tig-r river,
and is on the line between Spartanburg
and Greenville counties.

Canada’s Election.
London, Murch 11.—Commenting on
the Canadian elections, The Daily News
points out that the Liberal success in
Ontario and Quebec is most remarkable.
The unavoidable inference is that the
bu-bear of annexation does not frighten
the Canadians. Those who have the
most constant dealings with the states
are the most favorable to reciprocity.
