WHEATLEY
Mr.W. J. Phillips,of this city, who used
to run a grocery and confectionery busi-
ncaa here, and who haa of late been em
ployed as night watchman at the Amer
icas Gaano Works, was assaulted by un
known parties Saturday night and beat
en beyond semblance of humanity. The
motive is supposed to bare been mercen
ary, aa Ur. Phillips was known to have
been paid off Saturday, and his assail
ants evidently attacked him for the pur-
pots of robbery.
Bnt they felled to get anything and it
is probable that, frightened at the ex
tent of the outrage they bad committed,
they fled without endeavoring to go
farther and secure the money for which
they bad come. ,
From the fact that Ur. Phillips' watch
was found to have stopped at ten min
utes to 12, It Is almost certain that this
was the time at which he was attacked,
his watch being broken and the band*
pointing to that time. The reason why
bis assailants failed to secure Ur. Phil
lips' week's salary lies In the fact that
after reaching bis post of duty be
changed bis clothing entirely, only re
moving his watch from the suit which
he took off, and leaving his pocketbook
and Its contents In the pocket of the vest
hanging in the little Closet which he
used for the purpose of keeping his
clothing. In this closet were Ur. Phil
lips’ shirt, collar, tie, etc., sll ef which
were undisturbed when he was foand.
From appearances it seems that the
wounded man was first attacked in the
alley adjacent to the main building
where he bad gone to lock the door.
From there Ur. Phillips tried to get
back into the building, as Is proven by
the bloody trail left by him from his
move menu. & He was found fully 100
feet from where he was struck In a di
rect line, and perhaps twice the distance
by the way he evidently went. From
the signs It seems that fas was trying to
find his way ont and being blinded and
dazed was unable to do so; then moving
forward, as only he oonld do, ha finally
came in contact with a bench In the far
corner and remained there unable to
proceed. It was here that be waa dis
covered Sunday ifiorning at 5 o’clock, by
Ur. O. W. Small, the night watchman at
the 8. A. A M. railroad shops. Mr.
8mall was notified of Ur. Phillip's con
dition by a negro who came to him seem
ingly very much frightened and told
Him that there was a man killed at the
gnano works. Ur. Small hastened there
at onoe and found Phillips In ani
dying oondltlon. He wa*- removed and
carried to hie borne on Church street,
where he has ever slnoe been lingering
between life and death. There are fivs
fractures In hie eknll, besides a badly
broken nose and numerous terrible
bruises about the lower part of bis face.
Hr. G. T. HUler is attending the
wounded man and gives little hope for
bis recovery, the chances for which are
about one In fifty, each one of the
won fads In bis bead being of a mortal
character. Ur. Phillips has been totally
nneoneclona since reoelring hie Injuries
and In bis delirious wandering* entreats
by name certain parties to spare bis life
a* they have already nearly killed blip.
Poor arrests have been made and If the
right parties have not already been se
cured, there is every probability, with
the existing evidence, that the would-
be-murderers and robbers will bo safely
Jailed In a short time.
Ur. Phillips has a wife and four young
children.

Enjoyable Services at the Churches
Sunday.
Sunday was a beautiful, typical Octo
ber day. The glorious sunshine shone
alike on the just and the nnjnst, and
the good people of Americas felt that
they had much to be thankful for and
went In goodly numbers to their re
spective churches.
The services at the Baptist tent were
specially interesting. After an able
sermon by Dr. Campbell the election of
deacons was in order. The election was
by ballot and required a two-thirds vote
to bo carried, and as there were six new
deacons to bo chosen the services were
prolonged far into the afternoon, bnt all
were interested and the special service
was very much enjoyed.
The following gentlemen jure elected
deacons: Judge Welborn Clark and Dr.
Hath Is for three years, Mr. George
Stapleton and Mr. W. T. Weekly for
two years, Mr. George Seig and Mr. A.
Dodson for one year.
The presbytery will call a session at an
early da e, when • lie newly-elected dea
cons will be ordained. Mr. 8. K. Tay
lor and Mr. Thornton Wheatley are the
deacons holding over in their respective
offices.
Rev. Walter R. Dye, of Columbus,
Miss.,delivered a beautiful and Impres-
alre Sermon at Calvary Episcopal church
on Sunday morning, which was listened
to with special interest by his former
parishioners, who were glad of the op
portunity to hear again the words of
truth fall from the lips of their beloved
rector.
Rev Robert Adams of the Presbyte
rian church entertained a large congre
gation and gave one of bis characteristic
strong sermons abounding In wisdom
and truth.
The Methodist ohnrch was crowded to
hear Rev. James B. Johnstone, the man
of God who Is beloved by all who know
him. His sermon went straight to the
hearts of his hearers and all felt it waa
good to be there.
The congregation of the East Ameri
cas' Methodist church enjoyed to the
fullest extent the sermon of Rev. R. F.
Williamson who labors so earnestly for
the members of bis floek.
A Question of Emphasis.
In Justice to alt concerned, It Is prop
er to rail attention to an. error- In Ur,
Kenny’s card of Sunday, where he spoke
of Uaj. Speer’s “oomlDg in and throw;
ing down emphatically upon my desk”
the article wbieh was published over bis
signature Sunday.
Major Speer merely faaaded the paper
to me upon his entrance; and the “em
phatic" part of the proceedings came In
a fotf minutes later, whin Messrs. 8peer
and Kenny became involved in a discus
sion of the streej railroad matter, after
Uaj. Speer burned Us a^tala^.Ur,

"The Bottom of tbo •**” Will bo Played
Before a Hood Audience,
“The Bottom of tbo Sea” was played
to a good audience last night The gal
leries were crowded and the lower part
of the house was well filled.
“The Bottom of the sea Is one of
William A. Brady’s startling and re
alistic melodramas, and a good deal of
the Interest In its production centers In
the scenlo effects and mechanical fea
tures. The story opens In the cabin of
the passenger steamer Isabel on her
voyage from the West Indies to Havre.
The principal characters are on board.
The first realistic scene shows the de
struction of the vessel by the explosion
of her boilers, the resene of the passen
gers by a passing yacht and the sinking
of tbe-IU-Jated steamer.
After some episode* vhii-li transpire
in France the scene change* t» the deck
of a vessel laving a suhmsrlnebkhle. and
heresomoof the more Intense dramatic
incidents transpire.
The hero of the play descends to the
bottom of the sea to repair a break In
the cable, and while encased In a diver's
suit Is accompanied by the villain. At
the very bed of the ocean, on the deck
of the lunkeo passenger ateame-, which
is where tlie break of the cable took
place, the villain, with a hatchet, takes
advantage of his enemy, who is at work
on the broken cable, and cutting the air-
pipe and life lines, leaves bis victim ap
parently dead and ascends to the sur
face. Incidentally there is an attack on
the divert by an octopus and a thrilling
realistic conflict
In the subsequent scenes the hern,
who has been miraculously saved by the
air remaining In his helmet, come* to
confront bis would-be assassin.—Macon
