Savannah Sews: Last evening, about
quarter past six o’clock, a white woman
by the name of Lizzie McCarthy, who,
we are informed, lives a few miles from
the city on thp Isle of Hope load, was
very severely stabbed or cut in tlie jeft
temple by Clara Jones, colored. The diffi
culty between the women occurred comer
of Ann and Olive streets, in Cooper Shop
lane, but we are unable to ascertain the
origin of the trouble, though it is stated
iw both had been drinking. The colored
woman used a knife and subbed ber an
tagonist in two or three plaees in tlie tem
ple, inflicting very serious injuries. Dr.
Frank E. Lincoln, was summoned and
dressed the wounds. Late last night it
was report Oil that the woman’s condition
was quire critical, and it was thought she
would not survive. Officer Frank McDer

ftiand her in a sailor boarding house, on

Dublin Gazette: Colonel James H.
Blount, who lias so long and laith-
Ibity served tlie people of the sixth district,
addressed the citizeus of this county last
Tuesday upon the political situation. His
argument at a moment convincesone that
bo has tlie alfairs of the State and nation
at his fingers’ ends, and his elaborate dis-
eusiioiis of tlie heavy, enormous and r an-
jnst tariffs upon various imports, shows
that hc-Las been no wild ana idle dream-i
ex. After dwelling as thoroughly as time
woaM permit upon these onerous bnrdens-
hc touched upon the national issues that
should-to-day interest the mind of every
true Southern Democrat. To' those
who are not accustomed to reading, h : s
well substantiated criticisms of the Re-
pnclican nominee were, to say the least,
amazing; while, on the other hand, bis
description of lliat superb hero, Winfield
S. Hancock, was eloquent, and brought
forth frequent applause.
Dublin Gazette: On last Sunday
evening, about lour o’clock, the. Yaw
ombrota place, once the borne of Gov
ernor George M. Troup, was destroy
ed by-fire. Col. Robert Wayne, who mar
ried a grand daughter of Governor Tronp,
was at that time proprietor of the old
mansion; hut at the time of the fire, be
and Ids family were absent from home.'
The origin of tlie fire mnst, from snr-
romnding circumstances, have been from
the carelessness of a servant. Colonel
Wayne left in the morning, and ordered
that dinner be served by bis return abJ5
o’clock. Preparations were being made
for it when the cook was called to the
Jror.t gate, which was about two hundred
yards from the house, and at the head of
an avenue of large spreading water oaks.
It Is supposed that she must have built a
large fire, which heated the stove pipe,
and ignited in this way. Nothing scarcely
was saved, as no one was at home. Neigh
bors came a distance of two miles. The
family pictures and silver ware of the old
Governor were lost. The large oaks, the
pride of the old homestead, were many
killed and others badly injured. Colonel
Wayne’s loss, he informs us, cannot be
replaced with less than $0,000, and only
insurance. Colonel W. has cer
tainly been unfortunate, this being the
fourth fins within the last eleven years in
thib county.

“The worst you ever saw! Where is

Coffee Courtly Gazette: Onr farmers
went more into the cultivation of rice this
year than any prevlcous year, and have
been somewhat discouraged at the low
price at which they had to sell. The price
was never known to be less than a dollar
per. bushel until this season. It seems
that speculators have taken it in hand,
and for this cause many of our planters
will abandon its cultivation to some ex
tent another year. Eighty-five cents
hardly pays the producer for his trouble.

whilst cutting timber in a swamp, a large

Death or Sir. Joseph Wilburn.
The inany friends of this popular gen
tleman will regret to learn of h!s death,
which occurred yesterday morning at
eight o’clock. The sad _ ending of this
bright life was cot unlooked for nor unex
pected. Mrv Wilburn lias been a victim
of consumption for some time, and his re
cent withdrawal from active business Hie
was only a, premise of the. Inevitable.
The deceased was -born near London
England, where now, we bellere, resides
his mother. He came to this country and
section at the commencement ot the war,
and though exempt, cast his lot with the
Confederates, hui. was employed mostly on
government building*. -By steady indus
try and nnifonn courtesy, t he lifted blow
self to an honored position in business,
and but for laillngLlicaltWwouJd undoubt
edly bave been a prominent man In Ma
con within a few years.
Mr. Wilburn was a man of singular
evenness of temper and cordiality. Among
his/riends and those who knew him, he
was a great favorite. They, in common
with a bereaved family, bemoan his loss.
See funeral notice this morning.

• Yesterday the .race between Buckshot
and the gray mare from Gordon was run
over 4 tho park. Considerable money
was bet on the race, for few people were
word go, the horso threw his rider, and the
gray inare went through the quarter
stretch alone, winning the race. George,
the little jockey, was Buckshot’s rider, a^d
was considerably bruised, but not serioua-'
ly huit.•!>. . . - j=:
Buckshot has hafi but a brief experience
on the'turf, but liis record is a good one,
and he has developed points which stamp
him as a- Loreo of no ordinary value. A
few weeks ago his owner, who used lniu
to n grocery wagon, allowed him to run
against a buggy horse for a small pone, _

Tbe Orand Encampment.
I arrived in Atlanta Sunday at noon,
and found the streets thronged with men,
and the entire city gaily decorated with
flags and bunting of every hue and de
scription. It seems as if every point from
which colors can be displayed, has been
utilized. At the Markham I found a
crowd, but fortunately secured a berth in
room 'in which were only friends, Mr.-
Herbert Lane, Col. C. M. Wiley, and
Captain I. H. Adams, of tbe' Putnam Ri
fles. Having shaken off the dust of trav
el,and secured an excellent dinner, I start
ed out to view the sights.
Naturally^ the first point of interest was
the grand encampment, and thither, in
company with a ‘ Macon mao, I strolled.
The camp is located about a mile and a
half from the depot,"and consists of about
two hundred fine government tents, stand
ing in the valleys and on hills, where the
Thirteenth infantry formerly camped. To
the left Stands agrtind circus tept^ beneath
which is arranged an immense restaurant
and dining room. The smaller tents had
plank floors, and straw for the sleepers
thereon. But one essential thing to make
the situation pleasant was wanting, and
that was warm weather. Over those hills
Yhere blew an icy blast that, chilled the
marrow, and lifted the tents just high
enough to make life, for the dwellers
therein, a burden. I tried to imagine the
Volunteers spread ont in those tents
asleep in that chilling wind, but the
draft on imagination was too great.
They jsay the Southern Rifles all sleep
spoon fashion in one tent. I saw Mum-
ford at the hotel—everybody kno ws Mum-
ford and his aldermauic proportions—and
was at d loss, to understand why so much
caloric was allowed to remain in town. It
turned out th at the sway back man who was
to be the spoon in front of Mumford had to
remain at home, and as Mumford would
not fit anybody else, but, on the contrary,
broke the line’ aad allowed the air to cir
culate too freeiy, they voted him an end
position, which rather than accept, he re
paired to the hotel.
j AROUND THE HOTELS, .
and coi^equently around tho depot, a tre-
moudous crowd was assembled all day
long. A fair sprinkling of uniforms be
gan to be seen as train after train rolled
in, but hot the grand military display an
ticipated. A detachment of the “Old
Guard” of New York, consisting of five
members, was present, their showy uni
forms making them conspicuous. A few
Floyd Rifles, also were to be seen. The
Southern Rifles of Talbotlon, the Mont
gomery Grays, Esfaula Light Infantry,
Mobile Rifles, Governor’s Guards, Colum-
bia,South Carolina, Richland Light, Wash
ington, (D. C.,) Light Infantry, Sherman
Cadets, Lawrence, Massachusetts; Putnam

(III.,) Rifles, and Company II. Cin
cinnati, were the companies
wliieh to-day had arrived or were cu

represented by detachments, and it is
doubtful if the total number of uniformed
visiting soldiers will exceed 500 men. The

THE FAIR ITSELF

various States, and beautilully decorated
There is a.fine restaurant aud dancing
platform attached, and everything is pre
sided over by scores of pretty girls. The
tent is to be lighted at night by the elec
tric light, wires having been run from the
apparatus at the factory. The effect of
this powerful light shed from three sepa
rate globes is said to be exquisite. What
ever may be the result of all the wind and
printer’s iuk expended on this fair, there
is no doubt ot the fact that the Guard
themselves have labored manfully. For
two or'thrce days and nights they have
been In uniform, receiving their guests
and meeting the various trains. I. am
very much afraid, however, that the mili
tary is going to be dissatisfied. I think
some of the Massachusetts party are tired
rout already. One of them exclaimed this
mornjng, “This may be ’the ‘Sunny
feouth,’ but- nevertheless I wish I had a
blanket”
OTHER OBJECTS OF INTEREST.
In the course of my wanderings I came
before the Young Men’s Library building,
now latking only a few finishing touches
-.within. The. building is a magnificent
one,three stories high,with a mixed Golh-
ic and Elizabethan front. The lower
floor wili be rented for stores.' The scc-
ond contains a spacious ante-room or ves
tibule, from which rise circling stairs to
the story above. This room is finished
off in walunt, the stair «ay offering a fine
opportunity fbr’strikiug arrangements of
design; This room opens into the libra
ry, which extends back the entire length
of tho , building, with no ceiling in the
centre,-tlie space above extending up to
the'-ceiling over tho third floor, but
relieved by carved arches thrown across
On tj^is second floor alcoves are arranged
on botli sides, above the entrance to each

| that he “hump” her a little. He humped

“Charley.” Logan started like
a u'man shot, and' then sat

plied: “I think not.” And then I asked
him,'“Wbat made you bring her along?”
and they heard it and exchanged whispers.
One said she was very young looking to
be married. .All this time Logan held up
that heaa withhis elbow, and I.do believe
the head got to weighing one hundred and
fifty ponnds. His shoulder was a way
up' above the back of the pew,
and he was positively tlie worst
looking man in Atlanta. Fortunately at
this moment a bang on the pulpit, as the
minister described the death of a fatted
veal, disturbed tbe sltimberer, and she
straightened. She never got Logan again.
He crowded me into nothingness when
her head began to bob toward him, and
after ineffectual efforts' to find a resting
place, she straightened up again and fell

I Tbe Wheat Market.
For some unaccountable reason
wheat and flour markets are both agitated.
Flour is higher in Macon to-day than it
has been for a long time, and ever^ indica
tion points to an upward tendency. We
saw a letter from-*- mill manTn - TenffiS^'eff'opser'eompSHfon
see, who reports advances In prion and
difficulties of transportation, so {.hat
theatock will be greatly reduced, before'
another, shipment can be made. It is
with great difficulty that millers can get
wheat, and the market is very uneasy.
Mr. Keene may be trying to make another
“corner,” but one would suppose that his
past experience would teach him the dau-
ger of such efforts. Let the ‘course be
what it may, there certainly does not ex
ist a single reason why there should b£
any advance in price, for the- receipts at
the leading wheat markets are enormous.
This excitement of the' market cannot
last long.
The Suspended Policemen Reinsta
ted.
Last evening the city council held a
meeting to take action upon the suspeu-,
sion of officers Ricks and Fennell from
the force, for clubbing Toni Battle upon
the previous evening. No written eharges
against these officers having been brought,
and thijre heiug no prosecutor present, a
motion to reinstate was made and argued.
Alderman Hendricks was in favor of
keeping tbe case open ufitil it could be
investigated. Alderman Dunlap 'upheld
the police in their action, and was in fa
vor of reinstating them at once." • Alder
man Fitzgerald thought the clubbing ille
gal, and was in favor of farther investiga
tion of the affair. The motion to rein
state was carried. . ; .
Yesterday a Telegraph reporter call
ed upon Mr. Tom Battle, at his home on
Bridge Row, and was surprised to find
him cheerful and able to talk freely, he
having been represented as in a dying
condition. His statement of the dubbing
is as follows:
He liad gone up town to get his horse,
which bad been loaned, and having taken
one drink, was returning, when he was
thrown. Then the police got hold of him
and tried to carry him to. the barracks.
He resisted, and'in his struggles to get
loose, tore Ricks’ pants. Tfiey then beat
him to the ground With clubs and stood
on his neck.
The Irish element of tha neighborhood
in which it occurred (near the foot of Mul
berry) was very much excitei yesterday
over the affair, and claimed that Battle
could have been carried to the barracks
without being clubbed. .
The statement of Mr. Fennel is that the
police had had trouble with Battle the
greater part of tbe day, and that when he
aud Ricks went on duty, Battle was drunk
and began riding his horse up and down
Mulberry like a racer, until he fell oft’.
They picked him up and offered to carry
him home, Imt he promised'to go ifthey
would put him on the horse.Thisthey did,
but he.continued his racing until they
threatened to take him in charge, when
he descended to whip out the forcte. They
took hold of him aud put the nip
pers on liis arm, and tried to
carry him off, when the struggle began,
In the course of which he kicked Ricks in
amused as usual. Racing always attracts
men. There is no trouble whatever in
getting a crowd of them together, bnt
what the club wishes, is to have the ladies
lend their presence to the scene, and as
sist them to lift “the turf ’ from the disre
pute into which it has to some extent fal
len. Tfiey wish to make racing
in the South, what it is iu England, and
with this view they begin by asking their
lady friends to attend. The dub is compos
ed of some of Macon’s first men, and they
pledge themsel ves to cany out their prom
ises. Aliy lady may eater the grounds
free of charge, and enjoy the sport per
fectly ' free from annoyance, other than
that of seeing their favorites beaten, per
haps. A large section of the grand stand
has been devoted to ladies and their es
corts, and the whole park, during the race
week, will be in the hands of men who
will enforce order regardless of race, col
or, present or previous condition.

“Man that is born of woman is of few
days and full of .trouble.” Somehow that
funeral sentence haunted lue Sunday
night in Atlanta, throughout the whole of
au exceedingly lODg and interesting ser
mon, It does ‘ seem as though trouble
should spare a conscientious mau, but it
did not spare Logan (of Orillia) that
night aud I presume it spares ho one.

ing strains of a fine organ, were mareh«l
up to a front seat, already crowded. We
managed to squeeze in, however
I had the end seat with Logan next .to
me, and a fourteen-year-old, cliubby-faced
girl next to Logan. Next to the girl
sat a nice looking lady. The service be
gan, and about ten minutes had passed
when Logan stirred uneasily, and I no
ticed a pallor overspread his face. I turned
aud saw that the little girl’s head had sunk
down on hi3 shoulder. At this-moment
some girls in the seat behind us snickered,
and thinking to make Logan feel at home
I asked him if we were in his family pew.
I thought he was going to pitch the girl
on the floor, but he only set her up, hop
ing she would 3tand or fall the other way.
No use; she dropped back on him, and
again that snicker. Logan cast an ap
pealing glance upon the mother, but
her stony gaze was riveted on
the minister, who was drawing life-size
pictures of the prodigal getting
a free lnnch off of husks. No relief
from that quarter. He then glanced
hurriedly around, and found himself the
centre of a dozen pair of eyes, all smiling.
The poor fellow’s face was like fire, and
he sat bolt upright stiff as a rod, and only
added to the fun. As the preacher was
saying something about tlie prodigal, I
handed Logan my stick and suggested
that he prod a gal. The people behind
heaid this, and laughed again. Logan

Invited to Attend n Oeergia Ban
quet. la :ht* • i- i|
Yesterday morning it was suggested
that Macon invite to her table, the Put
nam Phalanx cf Hartford,* Connecticut,
or some representative Northern company
to spend a day ip the city and banquet
with us in the evening. , The suggestion
was considered and the plans-proposed
looked so feasible that a committee to
raise thfe necesssaiy funds'was at : once or
ganized. and started upon its labors,
The committee consisted oi N. M. Solo
mon, representing, thd di y goods division
of the city: W. R. Cox, representing the
grocery aud liquor branch; N. M. Hodg
kins the Banks,and,H.S.jpdwards the
press. There was no time to call a meet*
ing of citizens; all that it was necessary
to do must have been done in a few
hours, and the committee went at once to
■work. A day’s entertainment, with a
grand banquet at night, was determined
upon, and the cost'figured.out at seven
hundred dollrs, for no one-horse affair
Would be considered. J .
Tne plan, when laid before the business
men, was in nearly every case enthusias
tically received, ancUu.av.esy instauceibut
two was met by ready financial assistance.
In three hours and fifteen minutes,-the
committee raised five hundred and thirty
dollars, aud saw comparatively few of
the business men of tha city. By refer
ence tfithe
be seen that there were many heavy sub
scribers. It is doubtful if ever before in
this city, a like sum was contributed in
so short a space of time. To-day the
committee will conclude its labors, and
give every citizen a cbiuce to assist in the
reception, for only tickets Will be issued
to those who subscribe.' ‘
Authority to invite in the name of the
business men of Macon,'-the Putnam Pha
lanx theirgnests, and a detgfhment of the
Old Guard of New York, was telegraphed
Captain Carnes last evening, and low spe
cial rates for the expected guests made
with the Central road. If the invitatfou
is accepted, ourguests, eighty in number,
will arrive in Macon Fridav at seven a.
in., and be quartered at the Brown House.
After breakfast carriages will be :fur-
nisbed the guests, and they will bi shown
the city and suburbs. After dinner, it is
expected that the Phalanx, Volunteers
and Rifles will bave arshorP street parade
This feature will be omitted or carried
out at the pleasure of the guests. At 91
o’clock a champagne banquet Will be
spread for the guests and their hosts in
the dining hall of the Brown House, and
Col. Thomas Hardeman and others will
make addresses. On the following morn
ing the guests will depart. Up to 12
o’clock last night nothing had been re
ceived from the Phalanx.

And that is not stating it strong enough
either. Never did’a better pleased audi
ence assemble in that theatre, and there
were present many who bave grown old
in being amused. We prophesied that
this performance would be a success, and
were not surprised to find the prophecy
verified; for where tragedy and the opera
goes by at times unappreciated, the good
old-fashioned shows that produce fun
never fail to draw crowds. There were
men present last night who laughed fifty
dollars’ worth of trouble out of their con.
stituiion, and went home happy.
If there is any one thing in which
.the show may be open for criticism, it is
tbe small amount of clothing some of the
