the matter by discharging bolb Justice
Holmes and Bailiff Ford.
The story dates back to lost Thurs
day, when Miss Lambersou, who Is the
proprtetivsB of a fruit slund on Bridge
flow, bought at a crockery storo bar
gain counter iu tho city u quicksilvered
lamp reflector for the remarkably cheap
price of 25 cents. Miss laamlbcrson ills-

convey her lamp reflector lo her estab-
IWhuv'nt. Mr. Beckham put tho lamp
reflector In bis buggy, but lie entirely
Called to take it oat when *he reached
Miss Iawnberson’s place. Beckham de
fended himself by staling that he was
unused 'to delivering lamp reflectors and
tho duly he hud to perform escaped his
mind for tho time being.
Miss lumber sun grew uneasy aboat
her lump reflector and on the following
day applied to Justice Holmes for a
poMo».ory warrant, which was duly 1s-
Bued, requiring Jlr. Beckham to ap-
is'itr Iu court with the hump reflector,
nifttuud of doing this, Mr. Beckham
molt to Miss Uimbersim uud paid her
two or three prices for her reflector and
thought he tuid squared himself satis-

THREE FAVORITES WON.
The Talent Had Some Good Buck at St.
Asaph.
Washington, Oct. 23.—Cloudy weather
kept down the attendance at the fifty
days races of the Virginia Jockey Club
ml only a fair sized crowd v.as present.
The track was fast and the majority of
the card was well contested. Tho know
ing ones guessed three of tho six win
ners and there were no shots longer than
ft to 1, Tho third race, which was a dash
of five and one-half furlongs for maiden
2-year-olds, arts closely fought from start
to finish. Ooldcn Gate, the 8 to 5 favor
ite, got off with a slight lead, hut was
quickly Joined by Amsterdam. They ran
to tho back stretch as though harnessed
together. True Penny caught the pair In
tho last furlong and won in a hot finish
by a-length,, with Golden Gate' half a
length lit front of Amsterdam. There
were too mnny looking for a long, shot
on Tree top at to.to.l and the odds' were
hammered down to 20 to 1. Mklgely rodu

Large Gathering of Prominent Masons
Will Occur in Macon Next
Week.
THE FINANCE COMMITTEE HERE.
Tile Work of Examining tho Books of
Ihe Tremsnrer and Secretary Was
Begun Yesterday—There Will
BeFrssestSIO Delegates.
IN THE PAVILION.
Tho favorites pulled oft half the events
at St. Asaph yesterday, but the Macon
talent did tnuch better picking thin that.
Their score was fivtf out of six, and It's
needless to say they were Jolly ovct il
On what principle they figured them out
la something of a mystery and they're
not likely to glvo It away. When you
get a good thing keep It, Do you blame
thorny Today's card looks particularly
soft In places and should draw a Drue
crowd. Lovers of the sport require no
apodal Invitation no matter where .they
lull from they'll bo on hand. ,1
First quotations received In Putzel’s Pa
vilion at 12:15 p. m. So
The Grand Lodge of Masons of Geor
gia will convene In Macon on Tuesday
morning next, and the outlook ts for
One of the largest gatherings of Masons
ever seen In Georgia.
Tho members of the finance commit
tee reached Macon In advance yester
day. and fell to work at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. The finance committee
is composed of Dr. J. W. Taylor of Mer
iwether. Dr. Jas. P. Walker of Weston,
W. F. Partohurst of Atlanta, and Dr.
W. C. Kendrick of Dawson. The com
mittee spent the entire morning exam
ining the books of the treasurer and
secretary, and yesterday afternoon they
were engaged in the same work. Again,
last night, they met. and It ta under
stood that their work will be finished
before ncton today. This is rushing It,
to some extent, but the committee saw
flit to expedite mottera by putting. In a
day and a halt of hard work every day
rather than delay the reporta which are
to be made to tbc Grand Lodge.
About 350 delegates will attend the
Grand Lodge, but to addition to these
there will be past masters present from
various lodges to the state, making in
all a total attendance of nearly COO
prominent Georgia.Masons.
The lodge will convene at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, enAwtll probably he
to session three or four days, or such
time os Is neuossary. to transact the
business coming before the btxjy. It Is
likely 'that same of the delegates, will
come In Sunday night, but tthe major
ity of them will reach the. city next
Mbntluy.
There are 371 lodges to the state, with
a total membeusnip of 15,000. in no
Blade In the union Is ’Jlaironry stronger,
compared to population, than to Geor
gia, and the Grand Lodge bf no state
enrotaoes a more able and distin
guished body of men.
Tho present acting grand master Is
Hon. John P. Shannon of Glberton, who
has served since the death of .the late
Grand Sinister DavJctson. A grand mas
ter Is to'bo elected u.t this session of'the
Grand Lodge* and there is considerable
speculation as to who Grand ilastor
Davidson's successor will be. As Js cus
tomary. all other ‘officers of the Grand
Lodge will bo elected at. Mils 'scission,
and .no tittle interest hinges to this fea
ture of the business to be done by .the
Grand Lodge.
