CASES postponed.
t
The Young Men Charged With Bur
glary Will Go Before Grand Jury-
Yesterday morning W. J. Futral,
♦ justice of the peace of Akin district,
appeared at the courthouse to bear the
preliminary trial of Oscar McMahon*
Britt and Etheridge, who have been in
jail the past week, charged with bur
glarizing the homes of H. C. Burr and
E. C. Smith on the morning of the Ist
inst.
The prisoners were in court with
counsel. Col. Cleveland, representing
the prosecution, stated that, inasmuch
as the superior court convened, on
Monday, and that court was the proper
tribunal, upon the recommendations
of the grand jury, to try the accused,
asked that the cases be continued
until that time. The investigation, if
commenced at this time, would hardly
be concluded before the grand jury
met, and be thougot it would be an
unnecessary consumption of time,
without accomplishing anything.
W. H. Beck, who defends McMahon
audßritt, opposed the postponement,
saying bis clients bad a right to a
hearing—the. law recognized every
man’s innocence until proven other*
wise. . His clients had been irifarcer
ated tor more than a week and no in
vestigation had been had of the charges
against them.
Col. Tburmap, counsel for Ether
edge, stated that while bis client was
entitled to a bearing by law, and that
be certainly thought Col. Cleveland
was joking in making the motion for
, a continuance, yet be wonld offer no
objections to await an investigation by
the grant! jury.
Esquire Futral thought the request
of Col Cleveland was a reasonable one,
and that justice to the State or accused
could not be jeopardized by so brief a
continuance, ordered that the cases
take that course.
This adjourned the court, and the
prisoners went back to jail to await an
investigation by the grand jury.
Episcopal Services.
A telephone message from Bishop
Nelson yesterday stated that Bev.
Frank W. Ambler, of Atlanta, would
conduct services at the Episcopal
church in this city Sunday morning
at 11 o’clock and at 4 o’clock in the
afternoon. He also said that be had
strong hopes of seeing a regular pastor
in charge of St. George’s in a short
while.
The West Paying its Debt.
One cause of the plethora of money
in the Eastern banks is the large pay
ments of mortgage indebtedness which
have been made by land owners in the
western stales. Money accumulating
in consequence of such liquidation is
‘not a source of alarm. It is not the
Kjeault of stagnation nor of fear, but of
■temporary satiety. It will encourage
and investments in the
■future which but for the ease of the
I money market would not be ventured
Eppon.—Philadelphia Record.
The following, from Brains, is time
ly : "The man who expects to get up
some morning and find this country
enjoying a boom which has in some
mysterious way come in the night,may
as well for disappointment,
The —all the boom we need—-is
coffiing right along, but it can't come
at a single bound Timrs are a thou*-
sand per cent, belief than they were a
little while ago; That is good. We
ought to be thankful, and we all ought
to pitch in and do what we can to im.

be in Griffin the latter part of this
month to tune pianos, organs and mu*
eicai instruments generally He will

NO MILLIONS FOR BRIDE
Mahatma Carraway Will Probably
Not Quit Business-
Many in Griffin wifi remember Car
raway, the hypnotist and mind reader
who gave a few entertainments at the
Olympic recently, putting a man
asleep and placing him in Carlisle &
Ward’s window. All such were inter
ested in the/report from Florida, a few
days since,4bwt he had married a belle
upon three bears acquaintance who
was the possessor of S3XJPO,QOQ. in her
own name. The New York Journal
turns on the light and shows the real
“romance” in thia affair, as follows:
If "The White Mahatma” should
project bis astral body from Georgiy
to West Neck, L. 1., be would discover
that his father-in-law has no vast
breweries turning malt into money, no
broad acres producing heavy crops for
hungry Europeans to buy at high
prices. Indeed, "The White Mahatma”
wonld learn that his bride is the way
ward daughter at a toiling farmer, who
hires the ground be ploughs, also that
his bride has married before, also that
bis bride may have committed bigamy
in marrying him. "The White Ma
hatma” has a deal to learn about that
little wife of his, whom he married
after an acquaintance of two hours,
the girl who was "reported to be the
daughter of a man worth $3,000,000.”
“Tbs White Mahatma” is the impost
ing stage title of James Caraway, who
used to be a printer in the composing
room of Hoke Smith’s paper and de**
veloped into a hypnotist for profit after
he found that he could put the galley
boys to sleep on their way to get copy.
He is not 30 years old, is the sjn of a
widow of wealth, and has an excellent
reputation in Atlanta.
Tilly Meyer is well known about
Huntington, L. 1., and her parents
have the respect of all the neighbors.
Ten years ago Tilly, then 17 years of
age, ran away with a blacksmith, nam*
Gildersleeve, a married man. Her
next flight was*to the Pacific Coast
with a companion unknown. Her
itinerary was traced .by the checks
upon the Huntington Bank, to which
she signed her father’s name.
Subsequently she retyrned home,
five years ago was married to Edward
Rieger. Her little daughter, four years
old, now lives with the child’s grand*,
parents in their old-fashioned farm
house, on the extreme end of Lloyd’s
Neck. Tilly tried to get a divorce,
and Allison E. Lowndes of Hunting*,
ton, acted as her attorney. Mr. Lowns
des says that, so far as he knows, no
divorce was granted.
Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have beard
nothing about the marriage of their
daughter to Carraway, save from the
telegrams printed in the newspapers,
in which these simple German farmer
folk are represented as possessors of
great wealth.
The parents have heard from their
daughter, however, since she went
South. The messages contain no ref
erence to a marriage.
A telegram from Huntington, L. L,
to the Atlanta Journal says, among
other things:
"A vessel captain became so enamor
ed of Mrs. Rieger that he anchored his
boat in ah exposed spot near her home
while he paid tribute to her charms.
The result was the vessel blew ashore
and was wrecked. Mrs. Rieger says
Rieger had a wife and two children
when she married him, and conse-*
quently their marriage was illegal.”

many remarkable cures performed by

nificance, when compared with it. It cures
pimples, ulcers, skin diseases, and all man

A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a ruined nywi physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting well
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.

FORESAW HIMSELF MAD.
Attacked With Homicidal Mania
Soon After Put in a Cell
Warned by ap intuition which be
could not explain, a man asked to be
placed in close confinement on last
Thursday on Staten Island, for fear
that the cloud which be felt stealing
over his reason would impel him to
some terrible act of violence. It was
only after the utmost persistence that
his request was granted.
In lels than forty eight hours be was
a raving madman, furiously eager to
kill any living being that came in his
way.
Capt, Blake of Richmond Police
Station No. 1 was on duty Thursday
when Henry Fischer entered the po
lico station and asked to be locked up.
He was apparently sane and sober.
"What do you want m?, to lock you
lip for?” asked Capt. Blake. “What
have yob been doing?”
"I have been on a spree,” said Fisch**
er, “anfhl’m afraid I am ' going crazy.
If I do, I might harm somebody. I
want to be locked up.”
The captain looked the man over
critically.
“No,” said he, "I can’t lock you up.
I don’t see anything the matter with
you.”
“But I tell you I am on the verge of
delirium tremens,” persisted Fischen
“I am going mad. I know it. I feel
it. I may kill somebody if I am not
put in a safe place.”
Capt. Blake still refused, and finding
Fischer was insistent, sent him to a
magii|lrate. The same story was re
peated, but the magistrate was as in
credulous as Capt. Blake had been,
and believing that he had a harmless
crank to deal with told Fischer to go
out and get some one to make a com
plaint against him.
The order was obeyed and Fischer
went from one friend to another. Not
one of them would aid him. He event
ually induced Mrs. Mary Ann Bas
combe, a wealthy property owner of
Stapleton, to enter the necessary com
plaint, and he was committed. He was
placed in a cell and appeared to be
perfectly rational.
Late on Saturday night he demand
ed his liberty, and almost immediately
after calling to the turnkey he began
to act strangely. Io ten minutes bis
eyes were blazing with the fires of in-
be dashed himself against
the cell door like a wild beast. He
continued to rave all night, and yes
terday morning Dr. C. Wilmot Town
send was called to examine him.
The physician at once pronounced
Fischer to be suffering from homicidal
mania, and said that the chances for
his recovery were one in a hundred.
Steps will be taken to place the unfor
tunate man in an asylum.—New York
Press.
la Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa
tion, well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act forfa time, but
finally injure the system.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When thia tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out often are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

The Tune of Dixie-
Though thirty years or more have
passed since that good old tune of
Dixie sent its rollicking notes through
the camps of southern soldiers or
raised its trilling strains above the
mighty voice of battle, none of its mel
ody has been wasted or glory faded by
the passing years. It is as sweet a
tune today as it ever was. The same
power of inspiration that once drew
forth the rebel yell and nerved the
hearts of Lee’s devoted men still lurks
in its martial air, and it thrills the
southern youth today just as it thrill
ed bis sires when it was the national
air of a government whose brief-histo
ry is traced in characters of blood.
Dixie is one of the tunes that will
never grow old. To us it is linked
with the past by a bond of sentiment
which glows with the very essence of
patriotism. Had that great struggle
of the sixties resulted differently, had
Confederate arms been crowned with
victory, Dixie would not now, perhaps,
hold the sacred station which we all
accord it. It reminds us as nothing
else can, of a bitter struggle that rob
bed our homes of their fathers and
-sons stock sweethearts, and it opens
afresh deep wounds that time has not
served to heal. We love it
it to the echo, but there’s a melancholy
recollection that arises whenever its
gay strains greet our ear. When we
hear it our nerves tingle, our eyes
sparkle,our blood flows swifter through
our veins and a wave of something
which only those who have felt can
understand sweeps over us; but still it
makes us sad.
Dear old Dixie 1 The years will never
rob it of its own peculiar glory. It is
as dear to our people as the memory
of the war itself, and its simple chords
will live with those of "Old Hundred”
and "Home, Sweet Home.’’—Albany
Herald.
