Tho reply was made by Jailer Phil Btevans. Ho ex plained that his condition might not be termed serious, but ho believed him to be a very sick man. "Any worse than when plnced In Jail?" tho reporter asked. An affirmative an swer was given. He still requires stimu lants, said the Jailer, but a further state ment was made that tho physicians are now trying to reduce the quantity, His attorneys still make regular visits to his cell. These are Messrs. Malcalm Jones and Roland Ellis. Besides these and tho members of the family, no other persons are admitted to the cell. The Jailer was asked what prevented other people from seeing him. and ho stated that It was thought best on sc count of his physical condition to main tain as much quiet ns possible and his nervous condition also. It was said, was such that It might be made worse at any moment by tho least excitement. Members of the family visit the Jail frequently, and converse with him. as often as allowed by tho physicians.

Crowds Could Not be Accommodated and Some Were Turned Away— Capt. Hobson Will Remain Over To day and Tomorrow—Will Visit Mer cer This Morning and Will Speak Sunday Morning In Mulberry Street Methodist Church—Banquet of Kap pa Alphas. Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson lectured last night at Wesleyan Col lege chapel to an over-crowded house upon the subject, "America's Mighty mission." The announcement of his coming upon Macon lyceum was received sev eral weeks ago with much Interest In Macon and last night the desire of the Macon public to hear him vyui evin ced In tho Immense attendance of peo ple who greeted him. .Many people were turned away from the building on account of failure to secure standing room. The attendance was decidedly the largest upon the lyceum up to the present time. Messrs. Snell and Beaumont, the managers, were themselves surprised at the large numbers. The distinguished visitor was Intro duced by Hon. John T. Bolfeulllet. Captain Hopson was In fine condition and handled his subject with enthu siasm and convincing logic. His theme, a grist one, was made most Important from the beginning and tho magnlni- mlty with which It grew unltl the end held the audience to the highest strain of Inteset.. He was forceful, power ful, logical, and eemphatlc. Capt. Hobson was npplauded often as he went Into the depths of his sub* Ject. Those who attended listened for nearly two hours with the greatest In terest and were loath to leave at the hour of closing. The lecture was pronounced the best of the present season and the hero of the Merrlmac spoke In such manner as to convince his audience of hls power os a think er upon national affairs. The lecture was a great successe and will contribute very largely to the local lycoum for the present season. The local managers. Messrs. Marvin J. Snell and Francis Beaumont, have la bored diligently to make this number a most Important one and to them Is largely due the fact that Capt. Hob son has been acquainted with the city and its people. It was announced Inst night by Rev. W. N. Ainsworth that Capt. Hobson had consented to remain In the city over today and Sunday. He will speak Sunday In Mulberry Street Methodist church upon a religious subject thnt will reach and Interest the public. This announcement will be received with pleasure by those who failed to get nn opportunity to hear him In the lecture last night. Todny Capt. Hobson will visit the young men at Mercer ^University and It has been arranged for him to attend the meetings of the two library so cieties. It Is probable that he will apeak to the young men In a Join meeting of the two library societies the Fhl Deltas and the Clceroneons. Capt. Hoheon will be royally enter tained In Macon. He has expressed great pleasure nt having the opportu nity of spending so much time In the city and will make the best of It by visiting and becoming acquainted with as many of the churches, schools, and colleges as possible before leaving.
