LYTT0N llULWER’S STORY PICTURED 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. -the soldiers are followed by a dozen ■*■*» • Uve * folding up inscriptions und bannerets, la honor of the power ful Egyptian. Then comes priests in white robes,.next u number of dancing gills and a sentator, or ••member for Pompeii, with his attendants; next come ladles, trad lastly a guurtl of hon- or, two and two in iroUi of Arbaces. who, clad la purple and goldT under a catnapy. 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 ually, and from the first to alight sol diers and slaves; from the second, lone 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 two,streams of human beings, tne one seaward, the other from the sea, had met together, feeling a aad oomfort In numbers, arrested In despair nnd d0 “Thi> world la to be destroyed by Are,” said an old man in long, loose robes, a philosopher of the Stole "'“Stoic and Epicurean wisdom have alike agreed in this prediction, and the Hour 1b come!

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.

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.

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.
