THE MACON TELEGRAPH: TUESD.A T MORNING, DECEMBER 3,1895 5 IS. 8EIBLE8, OF GEORGIA. She Says She Has Many Millions Await- i Her on the Other Side ol the Water. lag] m GWE EL OF IT TO CHARITY Bit Alto Duhei Off a Few Verses of Pottiy —ll Now in New York on the Way to Germany, Where She Will Make HerCliltna Known. IWEo Is Mra. Bethels of Georgia? Inquiry of a number of old residents last Sight failed to find anyone who knew her. although several were of the opinion tha,t there is probably such a person, asthey had an Indistinct recol lection of the name. Whoever Mrs. Beibels might be. she has. according to an interview in the How York Commercial of last Friday, two big fortunes awaiting her in Ger- jnany or somewhere else. The follow ing It the Interview: Stopping at the Copenhagen hotel, on Rector street, awaiting the sailing of the steamer which will take her to Ger many In search of a fortune tomorrow, la Miss Cornelia I*. Selbels, aged 84 K ears. She halls from Georgia, and is close relative, she says, of the La- tnar family. Miss Selbels is rather cautious in speaking about her fortune. f ‘“ heiress to two estates,” she said to a Commercial Advertiser representative today. "One of them I will say noth ing about, though I will not tell you where It Is, but it is not in Germany. It is worth $20,000,000 and my share will be nearly a quarter of that sum. Another in Germany left by a million aire member of the Selbels family is worth about $4,000,000, but my share of it will only be three or four hundred thousand dollars, and that I am going to see about first." In answer to the reporter's question as to what proof she could offer to prove her claim to being on heiress to these fortunes, Miss Selbels said indig nantly: “Do you think I am going to Germany without knowing what I am doing? I have letters from no less than four governors, eight senators and one foreign minister to prove who I am, and that I am entitled to my share of these estates. I have been told by some of the smartest men in the South,” she said, "that I am a very smart, shrewd woman, and that would have made a great lawyer." Miss Selbels, in addition to her other attainments, is a poetess. “I frequently dash oft a few verses in the morning and my friends In the South have hun dreds of them that they have copied," she said. ”1 am going to start on a history of my life as soon as I secure my money and get back to tills coun try.” To prove her right to rank in the world of poetry. Miss Selbels dashed off the following without a pause, and as fast as lines could be written down: There was a mind oft thought of thee In dreams of fondest Joy. Away that mind—away that thought 'Twill ne'er dream again of thee. There was an eye whose partial glance Thy every Inmost thought could know. Now closed forever is that eye, 'Twill ne'er see the mote. Miss Selbels dashed off a few more little efforts uf poetical thought much in the same strain, und in reply to a question ns to whether she contempla ted publishing her poems, with the his tory of her life, said that she proba bly would Include a few of her latest efforts In It. RECITAL TONIGHT. Louis Spencer Daniel Will Entertain a Cultured Audience. Tonight the spacious parlor at the residence of Mrs. George Jones In Vlne- vllle will be thrown open to receive the music and literary loving people of Macon and Vinevllle. The ladles of the Vinevllle Methodist church having prevailed on Mr. Louis Spencer Daniel, the popular and tal ented young Tennessee orator, writer and actor, to return to Naoon and give them an evening of wit and humor, a large select audience will hear him to night. The seating capacity being lim ited to about 250, many seats have pre viously been engaged. The fact that tho evening 1* under the management of the Methodist ladles of Vinevllle, together with the popularity and genl- ua of the young Tennesseean. Is a double assurance that the evening will be one of great pleasure. Wit, hu mor and music will prevail, and an en joyable evening is aesured to all who may be present. To those who have hag the pleasure of seeing Kitty Cheatham, Louis Spen cer Daniel and Bob Taylor. It may seem a pronounced fact that Tennessee Is prominent beyond the usual In tal ent. humor and eloquence. The three eminent 'talents have received tht unnalmouB praise of America and Eng land. Mr. Daniel has already signed with a prominent bureau of London to make a recital tour of England. Scotland, Wales and Ireland next sea son, and will sail for London in July next. 'He was raised on a "perpendic ular farm" In middle Tennessee. Al the age of 15 he left his home tor New England against t'he wishes of his pa rents, and it was by hard and con tinual struggle that he acquired an ed ucation to bring any man to the front, At the age of 21 the young man was admitted to the practice of law In the courts of Tennessee. But this was a mere form, as Daniel never meant to practice law, as he openly declares that he was never lazy enough to be a lawyer of the nineteenth century type. While in Boston ho was given the name of the "Tennessee Lad" by Bishop Brooks on a public occasion. Having traveled extensively he has made many friends in all parts of the country and In England. While In England he was calted upon to recite for her majesty, the queen and her court, and met with such success in London as merited 'him with a recall for next season by the London Bureau at a neat salary. The people of Macon should not miss an opportunity of seeing and hearing the “Tennessee Lad.” The Waverly Magazine of Boston says of Daniel; "He is a gentleman by birth, a schol ar by perseverance and a 'true son of the South." Rumored Among Railroad Men That the Master Mechanic's OIHce Is Abolished. THE AUTHORITIES WILL HOT TALK THE STOWAWAY. The Employe! at the Shops State Positively That Huter Machinist Harris Is Out- What the Change Keens to the Georgia Sonthorn Ken. That Famous Melodrama Will Be at the Academy of Music Thursday. Tom Craven's famous London play, "The Stowaway.” which will be seen here Thursday, is one of the most suc cessful melodramas ever given in this country. It has remained secure in popular esteem for half a dozen years, and still shows no algns of waning pop ularity. Its success may be attributed solely to Its unquestionable merit and to the excellent manner in which it has always been played and mounted, it belongs to the good old melodra matic school, and its stirring scenes and thrilling situations, all of which are worked up to exciting climaxes by the skillful hand of a practical play wright, never fall to evoke the wildest applause.

Has Nothing to Say in Regard to His Trip to New York. Ex-General Manager Sparks of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad has returned from New York but de clines to state the object of his visit to the metropolis. A whole lot of surmises are made as to Mr. Sparks’ visit, but until he de cides to unbosom himself. If he intendB doing so at all, the public must remain in Ignorance of his visit, upon which Is thought to depend his future actions. There Is little doubt hut that his visit was upon railroad business of some kind. WOULDN'T PAY THE PRICE. Therefore the M. & B. Trains Will No Longer Use the Union Depot. Beginning yesterday morning, the Macon and Birmingham railroad dls. continued the use of the union pnssen. ger depot, and henceforth the trains of that road will put off and take on passengers at the foot of Pine street, near the Intersection of Fifth street. The cause of the discontinuance it the refusal of the Macon and Birming ham to pay the price charged by the Central for the use of the depot since the Macon and Birmingham has gotten out from under the control of the Geor gia Southern and Is running on Its own hook. The change Is an inconvenient one for the traveling public. ORPHANS GOING. The Children of the Appleton Home Leave For Atlanta This Morning.

The general topie of conversation at the shops of the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad yesterday was the re ported removal of Master Machinist George Harris, and the abolition of his office. All sorts of speculations could bo beard us to what It meant. Those who heard the reports were loth to be lieve them, but the employees of the road in and about the shops stated positively that there was no mistake. A Telegraph reporter asked Superin tendent Jeff Lano about the report. Mr. Lane’s reply was: “I am not prepared to discuss the mat ter.” Mr. Harris was absent from tho city, and could not bo seen, but some of his closest friends arc confident that tho re ports are true. What is meant by the aetlon of the Georgia Southern, if the master mechan ic's office has been abolished, is only to be conjectured, bnt the most popular idea sccais to be that the shops are to ho merged with those of cither the Central er tho Southern. In fact, it was the prevailing opinion among Central railroad men a few weeks ago that as soon as the Central had been reorganized tho shops of that road and of the Georgia Southern would he merged. This, of course, would reduce the clerical forces of oue or the other shop and save the expense of one master mechanic. Another idea wus suggested by a rail road man yesterday afternoon: Perhaps tho bulk of tho work formerly done by tho Georgia Southern shops will hereaf ter bo done • by the Southern shops in Atlanta, allowing the Georgia Southern shops to be used simply for repairs, etc. A contraot between the city of Ma -on and tho Georgia Southern compels tho road to keep its shops located in the city, but such a contract, it is said, could not dlctato what work should bo done at the shops, what forces should be employed, or anything of that kind, and would not prevent the consolidation of the Georgia Southern shopa with those of any other road, so long us some kind of shop was maintained in this city by tho Georgia Southern road. Mr. Harris has been 1 in Macon as mas. ter Machinist of tho Georgia Southern for the post six years. Ho came from Snulsbury, N. C., and was employed by the old R. and D.: he was also at one tlrao superintendent of motive power on the Mobile and Ghio railroad, with head quarters at Mobile. Ho is considered -most capable man, nnd has given tho greatest satisfaction during his connec tion with the road. Mr. Harris has also made himsnlf very popular with tho business men of Macon. SHORE 'ACRES. Sol Smith Russell Intended buying Shore Acres" from Its author, James A. Herne. Through a mistake made In "his appointment, author and actor failed to meet and Mr. Russell lost a play in which he might havo won fame and fortune. There is no villian, no murder, no wronged woman, and no blood-curd ling dramatic climax In "Shore Acres," yet tho play had a whole season's run in New York, nnd many able critics claim It 1s the best native drama yet produced. Its author. James A. Herne, will make a fortune out of it. SMOKE E, H. Gato's Key West ci gars at H. P. Loh's and use periodical' tickets. LANIER ARRIVALS. d. Llppman, New York: J. B.
