THE MAC()N TELEGRAPH. MACON, GA.. SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 4, 1894-TWELYE PAGES. I «&»«!• Copy, ft C»nu. And Now tbe Third Week oi the Dixie Fair Begins. All GlGlfll Tho Entiro Georgia Legislature Guests of the Fair Association While Here. .CITIES OF ATLANTA AND COLUMBUS Both Represented by Their Mayors and Councils—A Large Attendance on Yesterday—Many Visitors Remained In the City* The second ■week of the Dixie Inter state Fair closed last night and still pure Is more to come. The Dixie fair not over with yet by a good deal, nd the tact needs to be thoroughly idvraftood 'll rat of all. The fair contlinues four more days; to put It more plainly, Monday, Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. And it will be Just as good a fair this week as last, for under the rules of the association no exhibits can e removed aud no-ne of the attract ions can fold their tents tike the Arab. 'They are not only obliged to stay, but they are anxious to stay, and the ma jority of them would like to see the fair run a -week or two longer, for they are all satisfied that the crowds will :ontlnue to come. This is true, too, for [many people in peorgia are Just be- 1 Inning to realize what a tremendous hlng the Dixie Interstate Pair • Is. They are waking up to the fact from day to day and visitors continue to coroo into the city. The outlook is for large delegations from outside towns on Monday, while the great major! t~ of those who are already here will re main until the close of the fair. This week's programme will be an attractive ono throughout—races and Pompeii tomorrow and everything else that you have seen during <tlie past •week. So'don' t get the Idea that the Dixie Fair la over with or drawing Jo a close, for it has almost another Week yet -to run, aud its record, you \ know, lias been to Increase In interest : every day; • *\ ' 4 ) ALL'OF GEORGIA HERE. r Yesterday was no exception to this rule, as can be attested by the thou sands who filled the grounds during -me day. The crowd was not as large as Thursday, which, seems destined to be the banner day of the fair, us far as attendance,is concerned, unless to morrow shows up moreitban 20,000 peo ple. But It was a tremendous crowd af ter all, and the most representative body of Georgians yet In attendance on the great exposition on any one day. President Horne remarked during the day that he believed every county in Georgia was represented on the grounds yesterday. This may have seemed true of orther days, but it was uuquestlona- I bly true of yesterday, for the entire Georgia legislature was there, embrac ing every county in the state. It Is entirely true that the whole of Georgia was at the Dixie Fair yester day, and a more distinguished body of people were never seen gathered to gether in 'Maoon before. A NANCY HANKS GAIT. The legislators left Atlanta at 7:45 o’clock yesterday morning on a special train on the Central, and at 10 o’clock were In Macon, the old Central getting an old-time Nancy Hanks move on her. Just ibr thl3 occasion. It mm a two hours and a auartcr run, and the legis lators enjoyed the novelty of being pulled along at the speed of 55 miles an hbur. The special train bearing the leglslatprs was pulled into the grounds o t 10 o’clock, and was there met by the mayor and council, directors and excu- tlve committee of the Dixie Fair, the Bacon and Bartlett clubs, who went down to greet United States Senator Ba con, and a number of prominent Macon- tew who acted as a reception commit tee. Judge Matt R. Freeman and Vic Me nard had arranged two cannon in the half-mile track, and as soon as the train pulled In they let go, firing ninety-three rounds, the exact number of votes cast for MaJ. Bacon for United States sen ator In the legislative caucus. MAJ. BACON’S RECEPTION. MaJ. Bacon was with the party, and as he appeared on fche platform of his train, thousands of voices yelled a hearty welcome to rthe man from Bibb, who is to serve bis state In the United States senate. MaJ. Bacon bowed grace fully In recognition of the compliment from his fellow townsmen, and then he •retired to the hack ground. In order to lot the honors be paid the legislative punty more direct. •As soon as ho reached the ground, however, hundreds of people crowded about him to shake his hand and con gratulate him. It was not the time nor place for a recaption of this nature, but It -was just as hearty as ft ocralfl possi bly haw been elsewhere, although it may have been less elaborate. THE SPEECH-MAKING. . The leglslatore were accompanied to Maoon by Mayor Goodwyn and the en tire board of aldermen of Atlanta, and they were escorted with the other vis itors to the band stand In the half-mile enclcsiure. where the speech-making took place. All of the speakers seemed to realize that a /air was no place for set speeches, so they all anquRtOd them- feclvet* in the briefest manner possible, talking to the point and leaving off the frilUs. Governor Atkinson was not In the party, being detained at home on ac count of the sudden Illness of a member of h> family. IJAPwDBMN WEALCOMES THEM. Judge J. L. Hardeman delivered: the add a of t clcosne In the place of City Attorney Wimberly, who‘.did not chow up until after the speaking had-well be gun Judge Hardeman’s remarks were to i:.o poLr • <i .

A ^Delation, but for *tbe of the goo y.J date of Georgia, to beware of tn? anting siren* on free and easy Alidway. Some of the legislators start ed to make a break alt once for «he Mid- I way. but they were restrained and did not go there until aftor the upeech- tnaking had been concluded. Copt. Evan Howell of the Ajtlanfta ConeUtuUon. legislator, editor, politi cian. and aH-round big xna.n of the party, was introduced by lion. John T. Bbi- feulllett, wiho said the people of Macon might seance expect one of Capt. Hbw- edi’s age to speak in public on the stage, but he assured them thflJt his man had been to the well many timet* before and oft. and he advised them to listen a minute and hear something. OLprt. Howefll seemed to be blushing at the profusences of this compliment, but he soon scored down and warmed up to hie task, and In a few minutes he had delivered himself of, one of those neat speeohee characteristic of him. Mayor Horne then lultroduoed Mayor Goodwin of Atlanta. Who also thanked Wie people of Macon for their kind re ception. He said he always loved' to ernne to Macon, for be was always sure of hospitable <trealtmemit. Adjutant-General KeH was then In troduced by Mayor Horne. General Kell was present as the representative of Governor Atkinson. bu»t only briefly munitioned the reasons which kept the governor In Atlanta, and expressed Mr. Atklnsan’rt regrets at not being able to jt>ln rtJhe party. COLUMBUS REPRESENTED. After the coucluskm of the speeches the party was taken In hand by the mayor and council, directors and recep tion committee nnd proceeded to make a •tbur of the fair. ■It bolnig Columbus Day,. Mayor Slade and several members of the city council of Columbus, together wilth prominent citizens Af Columbus, were also on hand, and they joined the party in eeelng the Bigiuts of the Dixie Fair. Mayor Goodwyn and Mayor - Slade, with several members of t»he Atlanta ant! Columbus councils, were taken In hand by Mayor 'Home, who carried them all over the grounds, even into Midway, which was the last place visit ed and Where they were last seen last night. The. visitors expressed themselves as very much pleased with what they caw and surprised at tne magnitude of the exposition. Many frankfly admitted -that it w-as ibhe biggest fair ever seen in Gc/orgln, and some thought It should not close until every man. woman and child In Georgia had seen It. POMPEII AGAIN. The great spectacle. Pompeii, was presented again last night to another tremendous audience, the grand stand, reserved ohalrs and boxes being filled. The audience was not only a large one. but a cultured one as well, similar In character to that of last Monday night r Governor Atkinson’s picture was presented in fire last night and brought fcith great applause. By a singular mistake the governor’s picture was presented instead of United' States Senator Bacon’s. The fireworks artist did not know MaJ. Bacon from Gov ernor Atkinson, or either from a side of sole leather, and they got the pic tures mixed. After It was learned that Governor Atkinson was not in at tendance on the fair It was decided to present Senator Bacon’s picture in .fire They Are More Thaa Likely to Be Hade Daring This Week. pits STORY.

Governor Atkinson left on “the early morning train for Greenville, ilerhvctlier county, in re sponse to a telegram announcing tbo serious illness of his brother Tom’s wife. It Is expected that tho governor will announce some, If not all, of his im portant appointments the latter part of next week'. Ho nns not given any intimation of his intention, but the Im pression prevails that Adjutant-General Kell 1b the only one of tho present in cumbents who Is likely to bo retained -in office, although all the other officials are applicants for appointment aud feel reasonably conffdent that they will not bo disturbed. Heavy pressure has been brought to bear upon Governor Atkinson to make a clean sweep and put men in nil the offices who Stood by him inn is cam paign for the nomination, out the gov ernor has a will of h'.s own, ns ho has already shown, and his destro to see all wounds in the party completely healed lnay cause him to turn u (leaf car to tins partisan advice. On tills line there-lias been a good deal said about tho appointment of Professor I,awton B. _Evnns of Augusta to, tho otilco of state school commissioner. Professor Evans, who is Gen. Evans’ son, Is In no sense a candidate, and It is not known whether ho would accept the office hi all, but still there lias been n good deal of talk on tho subject.

Tile rj-eln-g yesterday was In a-"meas ure disappointing, for nlthcAigh there ■were some tharp -contests between the huraes that started, the.track was In -bad condition, and there waa nothing like record breaking time made. Never theless. the thousands of people who saw the races enjoyed them to -tile full est extent, and -in the measure or enthu siasm exhibited the grand stand was fully wCiat It was during the previous days of the meeting. The weather clerk’s special message to the racing deportment of the Telegraph was cor rect. although it went exactly counter to the prophecy of that noted rain- maker. Professor Park Morrell, The rain of Friday had left tho track In the heaviest of conditions, and it is wonder ful that the horses made -the time they did. The unfinished running race was the first event pulled off. andw as -won eas ily and prettily -by Old South, owned by J. A. Bland of NadhvKlc, Tenn. I. C. W.. the. Atlanta, horse, ran second In the heat and race. The free for ull trot brought out but three starters—alt good -horses. They were -Musette, with McIntosh In the sulky; Commodore, with Fuller up, and Au'rain. with O. H. Fuji or on the bike. Both of -the last named horses are owned and emtered by the Hermitage Stud Farm of NaShvlWe, Tenn.,while Musette is the property of W. li. Sloan of ‘Marino. This last horse has had tho naime of -being the fastest horse to Geor gia, but yesterday she had to acknowl edge the superior speed of t-he Tennes see cracks in whose company she had gone. In the first head Autrain had an easy dime of it. leading from the start, nnit winning from Commodore Porter, who broke in the stretch and failed to regain his feet and let Musette get ahead by a good distance. In title second boat Audrain was lead ing fkom -the wire -to the nuarter. with Musette a very good aeoond, but be tween the bait and quarter tbe mare went off her feet, and the Commodore, y-heu -he reached the stretch found him self doing battle with Aulraln, who led under the wire In an easy gait. The third heat looked as though It might be going to he Georgia horse, but it didn't. She went neck and neck with Autraln to the quarter, but be tween that and the half she lost a tit tle. being Just on the horse’s Bulky wheels when they both reached the half. She recovered again and raced with Autratn to the stretch, where the horse had a drive to win by a neck. Porter trailed all the way and failed to push the m&re for second place. In the fourth section of the race Autraln led Musette by a neck to the quarter. Increased his lead to A length' at the half, left the mare behind before he reached the stretoh. and Porter, coming along at a good gait, closed up with him. but Autraln was the hotter of the two and won handily.. In the yearling trotting stake race Roquita had an easy time of it, leav ing Jessie Green and Nllo well be hind each time, and the gamester* finished all the heats and the race in the same order. In the fourth event, the 2:29 trot. Nubbin W„ the Georgia horse, wne a grand stand favorite, but he hadn't the wind for more than two heats and was drawn After going flr»l_to c*ie and Inst In the next. He was worn out at the start, as he scored down as many as seven times, and behaved »o badlv that he was-sent away* behind the field, but showed his garrenest and le-t the others under the wire at a go-id gait. The race was exciting, as the -hors-e were very evenly wnatched. and in one beat it was a hard mat-er to decide whether Camlet - or Fannie Bru-r.-wick had won. bat the horse got the decision. The i-st event, a consolation race for running h-rne*. was won bv Giimox over a field made up of Lake Shore, of Hie MTliedtrovIlle Chronicle, who supported li.m ho vigorously In campaign for the noiu.uiulou, and tin- latest report -18 that, she may be of fered tho clerkship In the depart (Oeatinued on page 7.) librarian was. thought a good one for her, but Attorney-General Terrell lias rendered an opln.on which renders her ineligible for this position.

Tho particular feature of •ntcrcst Is that a light Is being made on Mr. Crenshaw on tho ground that ho has aot had sufficient experience in railroading to make him eligible under the law. At tho same time ho was ono of Governor Atkinson's closest ad visers nnd hardest workers during tho campaign and, according to tho rules of politics, would bavo a very strong pull. ’ Governor Atkinson has Issued tho following Thanksgiving proclamation Stato of Georgia, Executive Office, Atlanta.—A' Proclamation—In grateful recognition of tbo good provldcnco of Almighty God, which In tho passing year has signally blessed this peoplo with health and peace and plenty, nnd in accordance with tho recommenda tion of tho United States, 1 hereby designate and appoint Thursday, tho liOth day of November.

SHOCKING IN THE EXTREME. Alter recess Mr. Whitehead was called. He was a specialist In female diseases. Ho bad been arrested four times, charged with performing abor tions. but. had never been convicted or tried. He was arrested on February 24, 1894, by Sergls.

He *a!d that he could not allow this session to close without complimenting his colleagues, Messrs. Moss and Jerome. He then referred to the evidence of Dr. Whitehead. "I think.” said he. "that tho testi mony we listened -to here this evening Is tho most terrible we have yet heard. I don't think that tho people of New York. Who heretofore believed generally that -there was public corruption in this city, could even Imagine the hor rible realities whloh -have been tes tified to. and. to my humble opinion, proven to exist. I am sorry that this should bo so. for tho sake of our city of New York.” He then asked for an adjournment until November 19. Senator Found complimented air. Goff and his col leagues on the good work -they had done. „ „ "I cannot, however." said he, "allow this occasion to pass without compli menting you.

Irwin & Co.* Owed About Eight Hun* •* dred Thousand. Pittsburg. Pa'.. Nov. 8.—The lamen table failure of Goorgo M. Irwin A Co., the big discretionary pool opera tors, has spread consternation among the depositors of • the firm nnd filled the heart* of 'the other pool mon with dismay. The failure Is the most disas trous of nny 'that has occurred. lnn«r much ns the number of persons- con cerned is InfinlMv Inrff'M* thnn the investors with dll the other pools put together. „ . _ An anxious crowd surged ground Ir win’s office this mowing, but 'they were met and turned away by t\:o very young ladles, who were not tiK regular clerks. About 10 o’clock one of 'the young ladles received a tele, gram and Immediately afterward both lefr. locking ono door of 'the office, nut the inquisitive depositors found the urlvate door open and flocked In. They found the place deserted and tho desk* locked tight, with evidence of «. hasty exodus. 'Most of the depositors had implicit faith In the firm, and in the face of the firm's plain statement "that not a dollar had been saved" from the wreck, there are (hone who stM*n/iln- t.tin that Mr. ' Irwin will return and make good his obligations. A carerul estimate of the losses through Irwtr & Co.'s agent, since October 24 arS: Loss on Chicago exchange, $1R1,640; loss in bucket shop deals, $75,000; cash paid out during the run, $150,000; total, $370,640. It Is not known how many depositors the flnm had. but it is believed that nt least $600,000 hove been swallowed up In the Irwin pool. Blanched faces were conspicuous about the offices of 'the other discre tionary pools today and the managers wore lees suave and confident. The failure of Irwin & Co., and the action of the -finance committee of the Cham ber of Commerce In calling a special meeting for the purpose of taking action regarding Attorney Goehrlng's recommendation to prosecute the oper ators of tho pools and bucket ohops, was the cause of their reticence. There were a number of applications for withdrawal filed at the pools to- day. and at the Traders ono man made a persistent but unsuccessful effort to get his money hick. On this account other arrests may be made. COMBINING WITH POPULISTS. Adopting Mississippi Republicans Queer Measures. Now Orleans, Nov. 3.—A special to tho TitneS’Dcuiocrat from Jnck«oo, Miss., says: It lias Just developed that during tbo week several very prominent Republi cans met behind closed doors lu this city and decided to go over bag and baggage to tho Populist parly. It Is said that a representative of the Pop ulist party was present, but whether bo had any commission to net for bis party Is not known. Neither Is It known whether tho Populists would consent to form that sort of sn alli ance. ’Ibat these Republicans wore eager for It, is believed. Part of tbo tchcine as developed Is to start a Pop ulist paper In this city to advocato tho principles of that par*y, which is to receive the support of the Republican*. The Republican*, in case tho teberno works, have agreed to support tho Pop ulist nominees in the hope that a co alition of Ihe parties may stand a pros pect of defeating tho Democrats. Whether the sehemo will pan out or not the future alone can tell. BELIEVED HE WAS LYNCHED. Charlvcton. 8. C.. Nov. 3.—Yesterday afternoon *by *n unknown n*gro, near Cbrdova.

The presence of ex-Pre*ld*or. Har rison, McKinley and other Republican, speakers of national promtienco Uad nude the Democrats everywhere fight ing mad and tivey have their codts ofe ready for the content. After studying the situation as thoroughly as I could, I came to the conclusion that Morton’s plurality down to New York city will not more tlun 38,000 and Is likely to range between that and 35,000. I base this prediction upon the energy with which tho Democrats everywhere In the state are working and upon tho very favorable Indications everywhere of an Increase In the Democratic vote. If my note* are correct there is n >t the slightest doubt of the result. Mr. Hill will be dieted by a handsome mg* Jorkty.”
