Thu Grand jury has taken a hand. And the county phyalclan i« severely censured for pis treatment of the mur derer. In fact, from all that can be learned, the giand jury will recommend tbe re moval of the county physician. Till, morning the grand jury met and wot in session for three or four hour*. Among the witnesses were the promi nent physicians who testified as to Ozburn’s zanity, and tbe jailers and turnkey,. After a full investigation the grand jury arrived at a conclusion, and that was that Charles M. Ozburn boa not re ceived the proper medical attention from Dr. Eli Griffin, tho county phy sician. The members of the jury therefore re solved to make a presentment to Judge Marshall J. Clarke, and show that the county physician was not a proper per son to bo the medical adviser of Ozburn. A committees was appointed to draw up tho presebtment and to report to Judge Maraliall J. Clarke at half past 3 o’clock. It is said that a witness testified before the grand jury that Dr. Griffin was heard to remark: ”0, well, Ozburn will nover hang now, He will be dead before the thirty days are out.” From all that could bo learned some of the grand jurors were greatly Incensed at Dr. Griflln’s conduct. Now what will the county commis sioners do? The grand jury will reccommend the removal of Dr. Griffin, but will the oounty commissioners remove him and give Ozburn another physlolon? The commissions were Interviewed this morning. Gol. W. J. Garrett said he did not wish to go on record until be could learn more about it. “I think from what I have 'heard”’ eald Colonel Garrett, ‘‘that matters look squally for Dr. Griffin, but I must hear more before I express judgment.” Dr. H. L. Wilson said: “As soon as we meet on tbe first day of July we wil[ investigate tbe case and see if tbe charges ore true. If the charges, such are rumored oa tbe etreete, are proven to bo true, he will certainly be removed from office. Of course It Is proper Dr. Griffin should have an Impar tial hearing before the board.” The next regular meeting day of the county commissioners Is Wednesday, July 8th. Will they wait untjl tben be fore the take action, or will a special meeting be called st once ? Now, the all-absorbing question In tbe Ozburn case la: What will be done with Dr. Griffin, the county pbysiolsn. ACCIDENT AT MASONIC CEREMONY.

Tue Timks-Recoroer made a strike” In tbe opinion of the people of Americus, when It sprung the question of the location of tho Southwestern rail- rood headquarters here, and advocated It with all tbe good arguments whloli arose so readily from the strong points In the cose. Ever alert to help Americus, when the rumor came of the proposed change of headquarters from Sraithvllle, The Timks-Kecordrr saw an opportunity to put In some work for tbe metropolitan city of Southwest Georgia, and right heartily do the people approve the ef forts made. Bat while Tbe Timkh-Kkcoiiokii lias set the ball in motion, It mutt be kept rolling, by the concerted co-operation of the business men of Americus, and or ganized notion must be undertaken if we are to bring the headquarters here. If we merely talk they will go beck to Macon. A delegation of our leading men should at once wait on General Manager MoBee and lay before him the claims and advantages of this location; bring him to tbe city and impress on him the advantages to the railroad of this change. Then, ifmeed be, let this movement be followed up by a conferouco with General Manager Green, or even Presi dent John H. Inman. Mr. James Swann, the partner of Mr. Inman, Is an old Americus oitlzon, feels a lively Interest in his former home and hie old friends here, and con be depend ed upon to put in some good work for Americus, especially as he is himself a Terminal director. Tue Tihes-Recoroeu suggests that Messrs. Ilarrold, J, W. Wheatley, Dr, Kldridge, John Windsor, J. W. Sheffield, and other such representative men take bold ot. this question and constitute themselves a committee to put In some lleks os supplementary and in comple tion of a hat Tue Times-Recobuer hoi THIS IS THE DAY FOR THE RECEIVER’S SALE OF THE STREET RAILROAD.

Indeed It Is well known that the minority stockholders here, oonsjsUog of the leading builneas men of Ameri cus, would resist to the last court of ap peals any attempt to tear up and remove the rood. It was stated yesterday by a prominent gentleman that be felt assured that local company would at once be organ ized to leazo the line or bay It from the purchasing bondholders and operate it and this movement is expected to take •hape as soon os the sale ie effeeted, as the summer season is rapidly passing, In which the road oan be operated to the mostprofit. -Jolqii? ui Americus felt especial pride -’Itf ‘her street railway, as the first contract ever signed for an olectrio line in Georg! was that signed for the Americus llrie, and our people are loth to 1 adroit that they oannot make this' enter prise a success, when everybody feels that If the condition* that eurrounded Its late operation and Its management had been wh'at they should have been its statue could have been- successfully maintained. With last year’s experience it Is confi dently believed that now the road can be operated within Its Inoome, and the fixed charges paid, and a local syndicate can and will be formed to undertake It’ Noons thing did so much to enhance values la the olty and give Americas a big reputation abroad for enterprise and progress as the building of this line, and everybody now reoognlzea the im portance of having tble property again put Into operation, and upon a self sus taining basis. The tale will be largely attended to day, although It will no doubt be per functory In Its character as there will be need for an outside concern to bid against the bondholders, whose bonds largety exceed the price that others would pay. The sale of the property, under ex isting conditions Is the best thing that oould happen for Americus, and the only way to relieve the Incubus Of a bonded debt tbat li about double tbe proper oost of tbe line If It were now to be built again. When this debt Is liquidated by to-day’s sale, tbe property will then be upon a rook bed bona fide basis, and Amerious oan justly expect some largely beneficial results from Its operation. existing on London, June 90.—The admiralty It Eetrlu, .... .nd ,,rU, all* (or ‘die efll- cient assertion of British interests In various complIcatlamL-now exist the American continent.
