that are expected to lead to his dis
covery.
Wilson admits firing the shot, but

excitement was such that the cause
of the shooting could not be learned
by the police.

FATAL SHOOTING ON
EXCURSION TRAIN
ack Duncan, of Baxter, Was Kilted
and an Unknown Negro—Bodies Left
at Baxter.
On G. S. and F. train No. 4, between
Cutler and Baxter, on the old A. V. and
W. branch, a shooting occurred laat
night about 9:30 o'clock, which re
sulted in the death of Jack Duncan,
white citizen of Baxter, Ga., and an
unknown negro. Particulars of the
shooting were meager and no lnfor<
mation could be gathered at the late
hour, but it was learned that the trou
ble occurred on an excursion train.
Duncan resided at Baxter and his
body was turned over to his father at
that place. The negro was placed on
the platform at Baxter and was left
in charge of negroes.
Given Up to Die.
B. Spiegel. 1204 N. Virginia St.
Evansville, In<L, writes: "For over
five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affections, which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
h id to abandon work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians, who did
me no good, and I was practically
given up to die. Foley's Kidney Cure
was recommended and the first bottle
save ri:*- great relief, and after taking
the second bottle I waa entirely cured."

Thirty-seven Cases Have Been Made
by Police Force Since Saturday Af
ternoon—Ail Past Records Are
Broken.
Saturday night was ono of the busi
est of the summer for the police force.
Thirty-seven cases are on the docket
of the city clerk to bs disposed of by
the recorder this morning. And this
number does not include two shooting
and cutting affrays In which no cases
have been made by the police up to
this time.
Tho docket which contains these
names was made after 4:30 o'clock
Sttturday afternoon. The force wero
unusually busy all night and late into
Sunday morning. The cells are full In
the new barracks and there is one
trusty * whp has his dwelling on the
outside of the cells. There are three
and four men In some of the ceils, and
were it not for tho well ventilated de
partment which the barracks now oc
cupies, there might be some difficulty
In, caring for the prisoners.
Of the cases on the docket sixteen
are maiked simply "disorderly.’* Nine
of the cases are drunkenness, four are
fighting, four gumbllng. two larceny,
one resisting and one suspept.
This is the largest docket the court
has had In a leng time. Last summer
it was nothing unusual to see nearly
thirty cases on the docket for a Sat
urday night previous to the passage
of the Calvin vagrancy law. Soon af
ter the clean sweep of Macon’s dlvep
the work of the recorder's court was
diminished very considerably.
The work of the court for this morn
ing will be Increased and the session
will be longer than usual unless thers
is swiftness in disposing of the ce

A Broken-up Wedding.
LONDON, Sept It—The wedding
of McCallman, an official of the Egypt
ian government with Constance,
daughter of Sir James T. Ritchie, lord
mayor of London, and niece of the for
mer chancellor of the exchequer, was
fixed for tomorrow (Monday).. Every
thing was prepared and costly 'presents
were on exhibition at the mansion
house when on Saturday at 8 o’clock
in the evening a letter from Mr. Mc
Callman arrived breaking off the en
gagement. The bride is prostrate with
distress. Her brother says the mys
tery is Inscrutable and that he has not
the remotest Idea why the engage
ment was broken* off.
Chamber of Commerce Sends Letter
Inviting the Georgia Division of
Veterans to Hold Their Reunion
for 1905 at Macon.
The Macon Chamber of Commerce,
through Secretary Anderson, has
mailed a letter to the head of the
Georgia division of veterans Inviting
the organization to hold their next
annual reunion In Macon, offering the
new auditorium as a place of meeting.
Before this letter was sent another in
vitation from the mayor and council
had been extended the association, in
which many flattering Inducements
were offered.
No better Inducement could be of
fered the veterans than that of grant
ing the use of the auditorium, which
will be finished long before the open
ing of the reunion In the fall of 1905.
No better place of meeting could be
obtained than Macon. There are
many points of vantage to be secured
In coming to the Central City.
The invitation will again be pre
sented when the local veterans attend
the state reunion at Rome this week.
Through a number of channels It has
been learned that the veterans hnve
spoken quite favorably of selecting
Macon for 1005 and the reunion here
for next year Is almost assured.

Firecracker in Westminster.
LONDON, BepL Jl.—A singular af
fair took place lr. Westminster Abbey
today. At the middle of the morning
service a series of loud explosions came
from the north trsnsep and startled
the kneeling congregation to Its feet,
causing an almost dangerous rush for
the doors. The Rev. Caron Duckworth
succeeded In reassuring the people and
In preventing a panic. It waa dls/ov-
ered that the cause of the explosions
was a firecracker,, the label attached
to which showed the outrage ic be the
work of a fanatical adherent of the
late John Ken*it, the antf-rituallatio
. cn,%, ' J#?r - Th " r up!rtt escaped In the
£ contusion following the explosion*.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—All this morn
ing’s newspapers agree in the belief
that a somewhat prolonged lull In the
operations of Japanese and Russian
forces around Mukden will ensue. De
tailed accounts of the battle of Liao
Yang, especially those of the Associat
ed Press, confirm the general belief
here that the Japanese have not paid
an excessive price for their success,
and that they were balked In achieving
another Hedan by Kuroputkin’s gene
ralship. *
The situation at Port Arthur, espe
cially In view of the sailing from Ck-on-
stadt on Hundny of the Baltic fleet, re
ceives renewed attention in tho news
papers. Hpencer Wilkinson, in the
Morning Post, says It depends entirely
on how long Port Arthur can hold out
whether the Baltic fleet will be of any
effect. The general tendency of the
London newspapers, however. 1s to the
belief that Port Arthur will soon be
worn down by the tenacious attacks of
the Japanese while little Impornnce Is
attached to the sailing of the Baltic
fle^t.
The Htnndnrd declares that the fleet
will nev»r get beyond Hues, but says If.
by any Inconceivable chance, H should
reach Chinese waters, it would only
give Togo fresh opportunities for add
ing to his category of successes. "Wo
cannot credit the Russian government
with any Intention of sending Its last
maritime reserve to destruction."
The Telegraph devotes a lengthy
leading editorial to a weighty protest
against the Japanese treatment of war
correspondents and attaches, based
upon Bennett Burleigh’s strictures.
The editorial declares that "Great Brit
ain’s ally, solely from the point of vlsw
of her own Interests, committed a pro
found political error. In allowing cor
respondents to go to the front and
then reducing their presence to a nul
lity." The paper also warns the Japan
ese that western sympathies are "not
encouraged by these superfluous evi
dence of Japanese distrust."

body of David P. Itolbhardt, the su
perintendent of the dead letter office
of the postofflce department, was
found tonight In his office by one of
the watchmen, who waa making his
rounds Just after midnight
Evidently It wns a case of suicide.
There was n bullet hole In tho right
temple, whllo a pistol with one or
more barrels discharged lay on the
floor beside him. The body when
found was In a sitting posture, with
the head resting On his desk and the
arms hanging down by his side. The
face was in a pool of blood, which had
oozed from the wound mode by the
bullet. Death evidently occurred some
hours before, as the body was cold
and rigid when discovered by the
watchman.
Mr. Lelbhardt apparently was about
sixty years old. He was a native of
Indiana, from which state he wns ap
pointed to the position of auperlntend-
ent of this department. His desk ap
parently had been denned up of all
current work and several letters ad-
ised to friends hsd heen left by
him. They Included one to Mrs. Lleb-
tiardt, another to Charles H. Dalzeit
and another to Major Geo. II. French.
