horse.
lie was brought back to Americus yes
terday morning, Officer Feagin arriving
with the prisoner at 3:25.
The capture occurred about two miles
the other side of Albany. Sheriff E. B.
Martin, of Lee, and Mr. W. D. Liggin,
ex-marshall of Leesburg, started the
pursuit, and were joined by others. Po
liceman Barron, of Albany, joined in at
that place, and some half a dozen were
in the crowd when the man was finally
captured. One shot was fired before
McXaughton made up his mind that it
was time to stop.
The capturers thought that there was
a reward out for tiie man, aud this
caused a good deal of altercation among
the parties. Ho was finally carried to
Leesburg as lias been stated, from which
place he was brought hero. He waived
preliminary hearing, and not beiug able
to raise the bond, $500, was placed in
jail*
There a reporter saw him yesterday
afternoon. He is a smooth faced, young
looking man, and talked freely about
the matter.
“Yes, 1 am the man who took oft the
borse of Mr. Smith. Or rather, if I did
take him I don’t remember the fact.
“I believe that another fellow took
the horse, and gave him to me. I got
terribly drunk that night and can’t tell
a thing about what happened. The lirst
I can recollect was when a passenger
train woke me up down by Smithville.
1 was lying on the ground, and the horse
was loose near me. I then saw that I
would be arrested for stealing, and
thought the best thing to do was get out
of the way as quick as possible. When i
the fellows who were after me fired,
some of the shot sprinkled on my back,
and 1 stopped.’’
McXaughton then repeated the state
ment about having an accomplice. He
siys one of the men, also working for
Mr. Smith, was talking to him about
leaving, and that evening they got drunk
together. He says he is sure that this
feilow did most of the work.
The prisoner has written to his uncle,
W. J. McXaughton who is now in South
Carolina, and who has been doing work
in Americus the past winter. He has
also written to another uncle in Augusta,
a druggist at that place. He says he is
sure his bond will be made as soon as
they get here.
“I may be a horse thief in name,” said
lie, “but am not in heart. I couldn’t
shame the name ?f my family by such
doings.”

lh« Hallway Agent’* Association.
The Georgia division of the Kailway
Agents’ Association is the name of a
new secret order formed in Macon. The
Kailway Agents’ Association, while it is
a widespread and powerful organization
in the north, west and south western
states, has not up to the present been
known in Georgia, and the proceedings
were the lirst step towards its develop
ment in the state. Forsomc time there
was a small organization of railroad
agents in Atlanta, but it.has^ not devel
oped any strength and lias be
come practically inactive. The
objebts of the order, which is beneficia
ry and secret, are in brief as follows: 1,
To improve the standard of merit and
increase the efficiency of the members
of the order in railroad circles 2. To
protect by all lawful means the interests
of the railroad companies. :j. To use
the influence of eacli and every one of
the members to oppose unjust and anti-
railroad legislation, and to counteract
unjust prejudices in the public minds
against the railroads. The oflicers of
the new organization are: President, J.
C. Halle, agent for the Central railroad
at Columbus; first vice-president, J. L
Oakinan, agent of the Kiclimond and
Danville at Augusta; second vice-
president, H. H. Woodruff, agent of the
Central railroad at Wadley; secretary, J.
O. Walker, agent of the Central railroad
at Barnesville; treasurer, C. A. Jobson,
cashier of the Central railroad at Ma-
con. The following delegates were
elected to represent the Georgia division
of the Order of Kailroad Agents at the
grand convention of the order to be
held at Denver, Col., May 20. Dele

can not well be done, but in a few weeks
after that building is ready for occu
pancy, wc will surely have our lire
alarms turned in l»y means of tlieelectric
current.
The cost is cheap, and many thousands
of dollars will be saved.
Mr. Clark leaves this afternoon, but
will return in a few weeks, and make a
definite bid for the work.
Here’s a Sample.
The recent delightful weather was
such as might have been expected to
bring forth ardent poetical effusions.
Here is one which may not be consid
ered ardent, but which was handed |jn
yesterday. It is written by a handsome
grocery clerk on Jackson street. He
may have been anglin’ for a compli
ment, aud he certainly deserves one.
The telephone is u curious tiling.

Hello, Hello, well Hello.
Americus will soon have an electric
fire alarm system.
Tills seems to be the wish of the peo
ple, and is certainly a necessity.
The introduction of such a system lias
long been talked of, but only now are
the first steps towards its adoption be
ing taken.
Yesterday Mr. J. D. Clark, represent
ing the Gatnewcll company, arrived in
Americus, and spent the day in talking
to citizens. The company he represents
has put up electric tire alarms in Atlan
ta, Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Colum
bus, Athens, Home and Brunswick,
all of which cities seem to be more than
pleased.
Mr. Clark talked, among others, with
Mayor Felder, chairman Davenport of
the lire committee of the city council,
and chief Bivins. All of these gentle
men are in favor of putting in the sys
tem here, and everybody else seems to
agree with them.
A fiist-class system can be put iu for!

Bishop Becker has issued a notice
which is the subject of much unfavorable
comment in Catholic circles in Savan
nah. The notice is that hereafter no
porson will be allowed to attend mar
riages in the cathedral excepting those
holding cards of invitation. The object
is to prevent the gathering of crowds of
sight-seers at the church during such
ceremonies.
A hopeful negro living near Lexing
ton, has been striving diligently for
seventeen consecutive years to pay for a
mule which a kind hearted town man
let him have. The rent of the mule, ac
cording to the terms of trade, was $25 a
year, and the negro has paid $425 for
that mule, and it was originally a $50
animal.
Sknatok Pkffkk, of Kansas, states
that lie is neither Democrat nor Repub

the cities having tiie system in opera-
is a correct statement of his grievances:
The Tribune, the Banner ami the Ledger,
The Tikes.Kkcokder, the Times acd the
Advertiser, and the weekly newspapers of
the smaller towns, all advertise the cities
and towns in which they are published !a
season and out—frequently at their own ex
pense—but, oftener than otherwise, they re
ceive many curses, few kind words, and in-
floitesimble remuneration in the way of
dollars.
While Tiie Tlmes-Recohdeu stands in
the front rank of those papers which
devote their whole energies to upbuild
ing their towns and their country, it is a
pleasure to be able to say that The
Timks-Kecoiidei{ gets no curses, but
kind words from everybody, and a most
liberal linancial support from the best
people of Americus. Xo community in
the south appreciates more fully the ad
vantages of a good local paper
than Americus, and her people stand
ready to respond to any sort of demand
that means the support of Tiie Times-
Recorder. The people hero recognize
their self-interest in the matter; there
can lie no live, prosperous, successful
town without a hustling newspaper in it.
and whatever money is needed to pub-
lisii such a paper is always forthcoming
in Americas without a grovyl or a curse.
Let Editor Branham educate the noble
Romans up to the proper standard'by

tion, and ;ve should certainly adopt it.
It furnishes every property holder tiie
means near at hand in case of lire for
giving an instantaneous and definite
alarm, thus saving a great deal of time
which is inevitably lost after the discov
ery of a fire where the present means
are relied upon. . It is the cheapest in
surance which property holders can se
cure upon their buildings, and is the
only insurance which a city, in its cor
porate capacity, can place upon tiie
property generally, from which its rev-
enus is derived in the shape of taxes.
Eacli building burned is a source of rev
enue gone. It saves aM the running ex
penses through the almost entire sup
pression of false alarms, and the unnec
essary wear and tear of lire apparatus.
It is very important to property holders,
in that it gives them the exact location
of a fire night or day, and thus lets them
know' whether any of their property is
in danger
The putting in of such a system will
certainly be of great convenience, and
direct good, and all in the city are in
favor of it.

Mr. Alexander Keyuolds, of Macon,
the well known foundryman, died Sun
day morning. He was about sixty-five
years old, a native of Pennsylvania, but
had lived in Macon forty years, where
he did a large and prosperous business.
President Harrison and i\rty are
in Georgia to-day. They will receive a
respectful welcome, but there is no en
thusiasm in Georgia for the man who
would impose a lot of negro postmasters
upon the people of the South.
President Harrison certainly has no
cause to complain of the warmth of his
reception in Atlanta yesterday, as will
seen from our Atlanta special elsewhere.
Our people respect tiie office, indepen
dently of tiie man who tills it.
