What Vlaltora May Expact to See ai
They Sit lit tha Grant Amphithe
atre at the Central City Parle
During til* Dlxla Pair.
Those who wish form an idea of the
busy life of ancient Pompeii must turn
to the glowing pages of Lord Lyt-ton's
Immortal uovel. But In order to bet
ter understand the beautiful spectacle,
which is to be produced during the sec
ond week of the Dixie I'Xvir, it will bo
well for the reader to Imagine that bo
sits facing the gigantic panorama of the
once fair city, which has the chosen
residepce of Pllmy, he is himself an an
cient Pompeiian, Invited to witness the
festival held there annually In honor of
the goddess Iela. whose temple, as al
ready Slatted, face* him.
The day has been beautiful and se
rene, and only slight clouds of smbke
rise from the crater of the volcano.
Anbaces. a rich Egyptian, whose house,
In the architecture of the land of Isis
and Cleopatra, baithee its marble steps
la the water to the right, has assumed
by reason of ibis great wealth, a leading
and most intluentiul position In Pom
peii, and chosen the feast day of the
‘great Egyptian goddess. In order to daz
zle not only the eyes of the fair Nea
politan, lone, with whom he Is des
perately In love, with a display of his
wealth und power, but also those of his
fellow citizens. As the performance be
gins the streets nil up with "the peo
ple,” the populace, who arrive singly
and In groups, in order to secure seats
to witness the processions and festivi
ties. Husbands and wives and little
chtldem mingle with ttoer girls, re
freshment venders and priests, while
lads and lasses eagerly press about in
search of place* which command the
best view of the pageant.
Presently a trumpet Is heard. At the
same time small nower-decked barges
pass across the ornamental lake, und
the prows of the galleys make their
uppearanee as from unaer the triumph
al arches, a group of soldiers with stun-
dards and musical Instruments, emerge
uud announce the coming of Arbaces.

ThLs procession crosses the stage and
trows to tho officials of the city, who sit
under a amopy to the righ t in the bund-
lag overlooking the waiter. The pro
cession then tunas to the left, and part
of it Including Arbaces, pusses down
the steps to the water** edge, to await
the arrival of the gulleys, which now
eater in full view. They advan<» grad

and her official bridegroom, the Greek
Glaucus., Arbuces receives lone with
profound obeisance, but barely conde
scend* to notice Glaucus, thereby Indi
cating his Jealousy nnd dislike. The
procession reforms and' the gums take
positions under the portico of Arbeces’
By -this time It la dark and the beau
tiful city with Its villas and temples
appears brightly lighted with divers
kind* of lirhti and tamps. Music
strikes up, and upon a signal of a blast
of trumpets the doors of the Temple
of Isis ure thrown open and the tem
ple's illuminated Interior Is discov
ered. The priests, In white garments,
and -the priestesses, In whits and dark
blue robes, issue solemnly, bearing
aloft the gihleu Image at the Egyptian
goddess, which they place In the centre
of the stage. All kneel for.a moment
and then the dancing girls begin a
slow movement, and Xydla, the blind
girl, appears. Suddenly Arbaces cries
out: "If there be ’ Christian* present
and known to any of you. let them be
brought forward to adore the great
goddess, ‘Islsr ." The people’la return
cry oui: "OIsucur Is a Christian; let
him worship the goddess or death be
unto him!"
Jone upon bearing tbese cries, and
knowing her affianced husband to.be a
Christian, rises In terror, but Glaucus
boldly descends, nnd, sword in hand,
advances toward the Idol, which now
appears to glow with external fire.
Vesuvius also begins to show signs
of an approaching eruption. Glaucus
Is about to strike the goddess, when
the blind Nydla, guessing his inten
tion and guided by his voice, prevents
him, and rushing toward the goddess
herself overthrows the tripod which
stands at the Idol's feet. 'All rise in
confusion, the earth quakes, the dread
mountain vomits forth flames and
clouds of smoke; the temple columns
totter, the people, forgetting lsls and
her prtsest, remember only their dan
ger. Glaucus seizes lone, and with
Nydla clinging to them they manage
to enter a boat, and are seen, amid tho
flaahlng of lightning and the glow
from the torrents of flaming lava, es
caping across the water from the
doomed city. Arbaces Is killed by a
falling column, while the people,
screaming and shouting for aid, rush
In wild confusion In every direction,
realizing Dord Lytton's graphic de
scription of the appalling catastrophe.
The sudden illumination, the bursts
of the floods of lava and the earth
quake. which have already been .de
scribed, chanced when Sallust and his
party had just gained the direct path
leading from the city to the port, and
here they were arrested by an Immense
crowd, more than half of the popula
tion of the city. They spread along
the Held, without the walls, thousands
upon thousands uncertain whither to
fly. These had retired far from the
shore, and they who had fled to It had
•been terrified by the agitation and pre
ternatural shrinking of Itho element,
the gasping forina of the uncouth sea,
things which the sea had left upon
the sand, 'by the sourtd of the huge
stones cast from the -mountains Into
the deep, that they -had returned again
to the land, as presenting the less
frightful aspect of the 'two. Thus the

THE "WORK WILL PROCEED.
A New and Interesting Ftatnre Arlsts
In the Injunction Proceedings and
Damage suit Lately Brought
Against tue city.
A new and Interesting feature has
arisen In the Injunction suit brought by
C. E. Damour against tho mayor and
council of the city of Maocm, Involving
certain improvements on Ocmulgee
street.
An order was filed In the clerk’s office
of tho supelor court yesterday with
drawing all charges against Mayor
Home and throwing an entirely new
light on the matter.
The order Is made upon consent of
the panties at Interest, and was
signed by Judge Hardeman yesterday.
It recites that inasmuch as the parties
have consented thereto, It la ordered
that the chargee In the petition against
Henry Horne, as to his Interest In the
street railway company, and oa to any
corrupt motive or eonduot on his part,
be and the same are withdrawn.
Further that the Injunction be modi
fied so as to allow the work as described
and intended In the answer of the city
to proceed 'to completion, but the In
junction Is tb remain of force so far as
any proceeding against the petitioner
Is concerned, an to curbing the sidewalk
until the further order of the court,
with tho right of either aide to move at
uny time on the question after one
week’s notice.
The order is in no way to affect or
prejudice the rights of either side or
any party as to any of the merits of the
oontroveray. it being unaemioud that
there Is no waiver bv uaybnu of any
thing except aa expreea.y provided.
Tne court further orders mat the peti
tion stand as a suit for damages with
tue rignt of tne Petitioner to proceed
for the recovery therof in this proceed
ing, whether any equitable clatnie on
sald.putltlon are hereafter Insisted on
or maintained or not. no night of re
covery Pctng waived by this consent or
der br otherwise. It being understood
mat the petition stand aa a common
law suit, should The same not be other
wise maintained, the defendant waiving
no right to defend the same on Us mer
its.
Tho defendant reserves all right* of
exception br demurrer to the declara
tion as a common law suit, the peti
tioner having all right of amendment
and the defendant the right to amwer
at any time.

UK. DAIMOUR’S CHARGES.
In the briglnal bill Mr. Damour
charged that, by cutting down Ocmul
gee street and changing the grade, his
property had been damaged to the ex
tent of >12,000.
die further charged that this work
was not being done for the benefit , of
the clty.but to enable the Macon end
Indian Spring street railroad to lay its
tracks on that street.
He further charged that Mayor Horne
was e stockholder in the rood, and that
both Mr. Horne and Mr. Gerling were
corruptly uekig -their powers to spend
the city’s money for their own benefit.
Mr. Damour asked for an Injunction
to have the work Stopped, and Judge
Hanlemsn granted a temporary Injunc
tion until October M. The hearing was
contlued from the 11th until yesterday,
when the consent order was taken. Hr.

To visitors to the Dixie Interstate
Fair the question of where to stop Is
fraught with much Interest. Macon's
hotel accommodations arc undoubtedly
good, and it 1s not thought likely that
there will bo any difficulty In accommo
dating the- large crowds which will
oome among us during the next tow
weeks. The old reliable Brown House
Will, of course, be -taxed to Its full ca
pacity during Ithe entire time, anil those
who wish -to stop at -that well known
hostelry would do well to secure accom
modations in advance: otherwise, they
may suffer jthe lnoonvenleneo and nn-
noyanoe of having -to go elsewhere. The
location of this popular establishment
Is of the very beet—directly opposite the
union passenger depot, and with nearly
evory electric street railroad in the city
at it* doors: indeed, there Is no doubt
that mbre electric cars pas* In front of
the Brown House every hour than at
any other point In tihe city.
Tho service at -the Brown House Is
of recognized and undisputed excellence,
The cuisine Is unsurpassed an J probably
unequalled -by that of any other hotel
In the country. The rooms are delight
