It Is not unlikely that John Hollo man, the alleged chief com pi ra tor In the Brownsville affair, and tho one person wanted by the gov«rnment to tell the real facta of that affair, will come to Macon next week to visit his wife and two children, who live here in East Macon. Federal detectives and others have searched for Holloman ever since the riot In the hope of obtaining a state ment from Mm, but he has never been located by them. Holloman's wife stated to a Telegraph reporter yeater. day, however, that he was living in Ht. Louis, and that she somewhat expected him to return to hla home this Christ, mas. Worsey Hollomar, the woman, says that she and Holloman were married In Macon In 1198, and that after liv ing with her for four months her hus band enlisted In the army. Ha has Since returned only at intervals of two and three years. Hts last vlalt hero kVM more'than three years ago, or about *Jour months before the ‘Browns ville occurrence. Before ha entered the army, Holloman was employed In tho Bibb Mills In the dyeing depart ment. He was horn and reared in (his city. After his return from the war he was stationed first at Fort. Grant. Ari zona, and then in the Philippines, where'he remained three.years. Upon his return to this country, ho was sent to 'Brownsville. Before this time ho only sent his wife money at Christ mas, but the remittances were larger and came oftener after his stay In Texas began. This Is accounted for by the fact that Holloman was re ported to be the most successful card- player of his compuny and was one of the owners of a negro miloon there. He also wrote regularly. Three days before tho riot Holloman wroto hla wife a long letter and sent her twenty dollars. She did not hear from hitn then until ten months after he had been discharged, when his chil dren received some presents. His tat letter came Christmas a year ago, when he stated that he expected to visit his homo a year hence, or December of tho present year. As sho has not heard from him since, his wife believes that he Intends coming here next week. In none of his letters did ho ever al lude to the Brownsville occurrence or state wliy he had left the army. Holloman's wife says that the re port made by detectives to the gov ernment in regard to hla residence here after tho riot Is false In every parti cular. Sho sa>*s that sho has nover been approachod by detectives In re gard to .tho matter until this week and that no person, directly or Indirectly, hns over questioned her about Hollo man's location and hla connection with the shooting affair. She particularly denies^hut he ever "kept a store In the suburbs of Macon," as tho report mntlo to Prealdent Roosevelt Mated, or that he has been hero within the last three years. Worsey Holloman has been employed by somo of tho best known families of the city as housemaid and is consider ed an honest, truthful negro woman. 'Marked for Death. Three years ago I was marked for death. A graveyard cough was tear ing my lungs to pieces. Doctors fail ed to help me, and hope had fled, when my husband got Dr. King's New Discovery*” says Mrs. A.

Orphans' llome, located three miles south of Macon, continues the good work of relieving the city and county of be ing burdened with negro waifs. Rev. II. J. Bridges, president and founder, admitted two children from the city Into tho home tills week, a boy eleven am! a girl twelve years of ago. Ho stated to a reporter that there are about sixty Inmates In tho home, which is almost double the number that should bo In the home to shore tho small pre paration made for them. Ho further stated that during the past month he has been called upon to take over twenty-five boys and girls that are out of school roaming the streets, alleys and highways of the different towns and cities of Geor gia, threatening to break into tho chain- gangs and other prisons of the state, rblch ho regarded as n great Injustice jo tho children, as they should be given on opportunity to be trained to know they are human and have a right to per form duties as other people. . - lie also stated that be was satisfied that 90 per cent of the crlmo committed by the race could be credited to tills un trained element that la growing up wild and wreckless, an.l believes that should the state and tho good people fall to be come more active in making provisions for this class, that the day Is not far dis tant that they would pay dear for the unpleasant actions of this people; also he bstteves a little money Invested to prepare them for the duties of llfo Is for better than spending thousands to cor rect their crime. , .. _ lie la smuggling to provide for them a Christmas dinner, and ask tho aid of Ml who will to send something or notify him and he will call or send for It to help mako the dinner a success.

It Is very lik'ely that John J. Lawlor for four years at the head of the Utica club of the New York State League, will £e the next manager of the Ma con team. The local owners have been so strongly adv’sed to-sign him. and such excellent recommendations have been given Lawlor, it is probable that a contract will be arranged.with him without delay. He is very anxious to come south, especially to Macon. ChaVles J. White, the well-known representative of the Spalding firm who Is In the city, has urged the owners to sign Lawlor at once. "He la not only a -plaasy outfielder and a good hitter but an excellent handler of play ers and a capable manager," says Mr. White, "and I think he would be very successful in the South Atlantic League." Lawlor Is also highly recommended by President J. H. Harrell, of the New York State League, and by President Charles W. Boyer, of the 8outh-Atlan- tlfr. Furthermore, hla record is one that reflects much credit upon himself both us a player and as a manager Taking charge of tullend team at the close of the 1904 season, Lawlor brought the club up to fifth place In the next year, and finished only 84 points behind the leaders. That year he played In 128 games and batted In 1906 the club had another relapse, finishing sixth. Lawlor hit .248. The ^season of 1907 was his successful one. The club ended In third place with honors, being only 18 points behind the pennant .winner. Lawlor only played In 48 games and hit .205. Last year the club again finished third, and Lawlor did great things. He batted more than .300 and whs in the race all of tho time. The purchase of the club by H. D. Ramsey, who will himself manage, took the managerial reins from Lawlor. but as evidence of his worth he was offered the captaincy at the same salary he had been receiv ing. Ho Is desirous of leading n club however, and for that reason Is open to offers. Lawlor will fit nicely In the local outfield, as center Is vacant owing to tl\p departure of Murdoch for St. Louis. Lewis and Shea will, of course,* be in left and right, respec tively. While satisfied with Lawlor's record and believing that he is a good man. the local owners are In no particular hurry to sign. It may be that a still better manager will happen along, and they are therefore waiting. MACON CLOD SIGNS IISI iclf-helpera. And every , <i should aid such work by do I "A ChristinA* Dinner Table without & few flowers is a Christmas Dinner Table that could be considerably more at tractive.” N. L. BRUNNER, RECENTLY STAR OF COTTON STATES LEAGUE, WILL JOIN THE LOpAL TEAM. Tho Macon club has received the signed contract of N. L. Brunner, a pitcher, who is expected to be one of tho twirling mainstays of the club next season. The local management Is very fortunate In securing his services, ys he Is badly wanted by several clubs, and partlbularly by Charleston. In fact, Wilson Matthews recently gave out the report that he had signed Brunner. Such, however, is not the case, as the player will positively come here. Brunner has a great record, which ho established in tho Cotton States where he was a star. Lost season he became fll only a few weeks after the schedule opened and could not play. Accordingly, he was given his release. In 1906, as a member of tlie Meri dian club. Brunner pitched thirty-six games, winning twenty-three and los ing thirteen. He finished with a per centage of .639. In 1907 he was al most as good, winning twenty-five and losing eighteen, resulting In an aver age of .581, Ho only pitched three games last year, but won two of them. iBrunner is noted for his steadiness, although ho Is a pitcher with great speed. His average for two years is only two passes per game, while his record of hit batsmen and wild pitches Is very small. His strikeouts average nearly six per game. Brunner’s rec ord is all the more remarkable because he was pitching for a club-that fin ished below the .600 mark. With a winning tqtm it Is likely that he would have, copped jflany more victories. Although s<fme eight pitchers. In cluding two from the New York Amer. leans, have been s'gncd. St is practl* cally certain that nene of them will be carried. As Bill Clark and Sam Weems will return, the staff, with Brunner In cluded. will be almost complete. Four twtriers will be carried, and St re- plains for one additional pitcher to be selected. . , , Brunner has written that he Is de lighted with tho prospect of pitching In Macon. He says he has fully re covered from the effects of hhi Illness and Is In better health than ever bt fore. He is only 24 years of age. The Telegraph Business Of- flee, 452 Cherry street.
