A sorrowing assembly of friends and
relative.* lamenting the departure offing
beloved by all.
This was the scene at the residence of
Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, yesterday as the
last sad funeral exercises were held
over the body of Capt. John C. Ruther
ford.
As the tender and pathetic stains of
music filled the house, a solemn hush
fell upon all. The choir, consisting of
Mrs. John W. Brumby, Miss Ellen
Mell, Prof. B. M. Strahan, and Mr. M.
K. Layton, sang a beautiful hymn full
of touching tenderness.
Rev. T. R. Kendall, of the First
Methodist church, read the 15tli chapter
of 2nd Corinthians according to the rites
of the church.
Then were sung the same hymns that
had beeu sung at the fuueral of Capt.
Rutherford’s mother, hymns that he
had listened to when his heart was
bleeding, and now to be listened to by
his sorrowing family when that he; r
had been stilled forever.
“Jesus Lover of my Soul.” divine
hymn that ne’t r will die, touched every
heart and moistened every eye. Rev.
C. W. Liyne offered a fervent prayer to
the throve of the Most High h r 11 i-
blessings upon the bereaved anil sor
rowing relatives and upon the mourning
friends; that out of the darkness of the
hour future brightness might be born;
that the sad occasion that called them
together might he blessed to their future
happiness.
The choir then sweetly sang “Asleep
in Jesus,” representing the spiritual
condition of the dear one that had go-e.
Rev. Dr. Gwaltney, pastor of the
First Baptist church, talked most ten
derly of the brevity of life and its ier-
I rible uncertainty; how we look for the
sick and afflicted to die, hut are shocked
| to see the strong and healthy aud vig
orous cut down.
In tenderest words and with pathos
in his very word, the minister ol God
consoled the bereaved relatives, point
ing out the strong Christian faith of
the deceased and telling tl» ui of hop,
beyond the grave of meeting him again
To the character of the dead he paid
agiowing tribute, quoting the assertion
of Major Bacon, that during a long ac
quaintance with him as iaw partner and
friend, he never heard him say an un
kind word of any liviug being.
As the recessional hymn, “Gathering
Home,” was sung, the casket wa*
borne from the house to the hi arse by
the pallbearers, Captain G. H. Yancey,
Dr. H. C. White, Hon. Pope Barrow,
Capt. Jones White, Prof. D. C. Barrow,
Dr. W T m. Harris, Capt. W. W. Thom
as, and Mr. E. R. Hodgson, close
friends of the deceased.
Slowly the funeral cortege wended its
way to the City of the Dead, aud as it
passed I uey Cobb Institute aud tlu
University campus, the bells of those
institutions tolled in his memory.
At the grave, Rev. T. R. Kendall
concluded the services according to the
rites of-the church and Uie casket was
lowered into mother earth.
At rest, between bis illustrious grand
father, John A. Cobb, and his sainted
mother. Mrs Lamar Cobb Rutherford,
the body of the distinguished dead lay.
“Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust
to dust.”
Tho earth closed above the stilled
form, and all that was mortal of John
Cobb Rutherford rested beneath the sod
of Oconee cemetery.

Macon, Ga., March 12.—[Special.]—
Yes, it is true, the Macon Construction
Company is in the hands of a receiver.
And the Macon and Northeastern via
Elberton dream is dead, dead, dead.
Mr. Sparks was interviewed at his
warehouse on ’Third street yesterday.
He was asked the reason why Robinson
had failed to lease the road and by what
means the present complications had
arisen. He said:
“1 have no means of knowing why
Mr. Robinson didn’t stand up to his
agreement. He found the Georgia
Southern ia fir-t class condition along
its entire length, and he had every rea
son to believe that the lease would be a
paying transacton for him.
But in my opinion Mr. Robinson
came to Macon with bis mind already
made up not to take the road. When 1
was with him in New York he talked
pleasantly <of the coming deal, and
.-earned to be eager for it. When I met
him later in Washington, bis manner
had changed, and he would have but lit
tle to say about it.”
When we arrived in Macon, he
seemed to have lost interest in the deal,
•and would not look at the terminal
property. He asked why the road had
not closed up the alley, a matter which
had been explained to him before. He
also objected to the location of some of
the lots, for the reasou that there were
streetsbetween them.
These were on a par with the objec
tions raised by him to certain things
along the road.. In one place he ob
served two defects in trestles, oneol
which could have been repaired with an
outlay of $25, aud the other with ball
an hour’s work. In another place lie
caused the train to be run at full speed
over a bridge and had an expert engin
eer on hand to note the vibration aud
there was none.
A GK1KVOCS MISTAKE.
“But the greatest stress |laid by Mr.
Robinson upon any one point was upon
the alleged misrepresentation made to
him of -lie company’s earnings.
“While in Baltimore, before the con
tract was made for the lease, I noticed
in tiie Financial Chronicle a statement
to the client that the Georgia Southern’s
gtos* earnings for the mouth of January
were $75,000. Wishing to make sure of
this matter, and have none but perfectly
reliable figures to exhibit to the pros
pective lessees, 1 telegraphed to
General Manager Lane for an exact
statement of the Georgia Southern’s
arnings for January, which amounted
to about $64,000. My telegram was un
derstood to refer to the consolidated re
turns of *.lie Georgia Southern and
Macon aud Birmingham railroads—the
Georgia Southern system, which, for
January, were $75,00. I understood
those figures, however, to refer only to
the Georgia Southern railroad, and so
presented them to Mr. Robinson and
ui- board,
“But inis objection is seen to be un
tenable when it is known that the con
tract for the lease was based upon the
Georgia Southern’s exhibited earnings
of $S0-J 000 for the year.
WHO COULD BLAME HIM?
“Mr Robinson also appeard to have
nervous apprehensions of the lawsuits
that might follow the wreck at Tifton.

The evening news called on Major

following special from Macon that ap
peared in he Atlanta Constitution of
yesterday :
The allied railroads, the Central and
Richmond and Danville, recommended
the appointment of Major Hamilton
Wilkins as superintendent of repairs on
the Covington and Macon Road, which
appointment Receiver John C. Key
made, and Attorney John C., Harris
presented Major Wilkins’s name to the
court to-day, who approved of the
same.”
Aftei reading the telegram Major
Wilkins said he knew nothing at all of
the matter; that he had never beeu
communicated with on the subject.
Major Wilkins was asked it he would
accept the appointment if it was exten
ded him. His answer was he Mould it
there was more money in it than he was
now receiving.
The Major says he is very comfortably
fixed now.
It is to be hoped that Augusta will
not lose Major Wilkins, who is one of
the cleverest, as well as one of the fin-st

Mr. Robinson then said to me

“Asa matter of fact,” went on Mr.
Jewett, “if the Macon Construction

I have no overtures to make and no
