The negroes were notified that tliey could
not be paid at present, as their lime bad
uot been fuilr made up. but tliat they
would receive their money some time next
week; that employment would be given
them if they would return to work on

Dentil of Mr. Mrereell Holt
Sunday morning Judge T- G. Holt re
ceived from Chicago tbe melancholy news
that his sod, Russell, well known in
this city, was upon the ill-fated steamer
Alpena when It went down in Lake Mich
igan, on the 16th day of October, with all
on board. Tbe intelligence came from a
friend of the unfortunate young man, and
was tlie first to reach tbe family in thfs
city, although twenty-three days had
passed since the accident occurred.
The facts which surround the death of
Rusaell Holt present a singular array of
happenings bearing one upon the other,
and lead to his watery grave like a’path
marked out by an evil fate. He was iu
business in this city up to the time of tbe
Masonic conclave iu Chicago last August,
but accompanied his father upon tbe ex-
enrsontotbat city. Possessed of a fancy
for shipping and the sea he spent consid
erable time in tbe neighborhood of the
many wharves and vessels which are to be
found in Chicago.
Although offered a good position in a
counting house, he preferred tlie water,
and having made the acquaintance of a
young gentleman running upon tlie steam
er Muskegon, with his assistance he also
obtained a position upon the same boat.
It was from tuis young companion that
the news came to Judge Holt yesterday
morning. It seems that a warm friend
ship sprung up between the two .young
meu, and an intercourse which was unin
terrupted until business called the last'
.named to Buffalo. While bis friend was
absent, unknown to him, Mr. Holt ob
tained a transfer to the Alpena, a com
panion vessel of the same line, and run
ning to tlie same points.
When this Chicago friend returned and
tyeijt upon tlje Muskegon, he was infortn
ed that Mr. Holt had been transferred to
tlie 4 ] ponn, and had gone Ujftrn his first
trip. Expecting to meet him at some
stopping point, and hoping to persuade
him to return to the Muskegon, lie starred
upon the journey. They never met again
Saturday on the lake the two vessels,
sighted,, hailed, passed each other
anil plunged info the. darfcfoss beyond,
one to the safe port, bearing its living
cargo to happy homes and loving wel
comes; the other into the arms of a mighty
tempest, where waves should beat upon
the vessel and draw down into eternity
the seventy souls tliat were gathered with
in her cabins. Upon the latter vessel
stood Russell Holt.
This is all tliat is known. His friend
hesitated for days and weeks, but finally
yielded to a sense of duty, and in p. most
beautiful letter to Judge Holt, revealed
tho sad fate of bis son. Abrupt as was the
intelligence, it did not corno altogether
unexpectedly. Tlie long time that had
elapsed since the last letter was written
home, together with the expressed inten
tion of going on the Alpena, awoke in the
family here fears for tho young man’s
safety. But the blow, nevertheless, was
crushing, and tbe family are now in tlie
deepest distress over tlie sad aTate of the
only son. We can bnt extend to them our
deepest sympathies. There is, no hope.
, The New York Herald of October 20tli
bas tlie following concerning tbe disaster
to the Alpena: re' ’ r ‘
“There to new w longer any rtMon to
doubt the total loss, with all .011 board, of
tbe passenger steamer 'Alpcua, of the
Goodrich Line, which has l'er many years
plied between Chicago and various ports
on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan.
It left tlie dock at Muskegon last Friday
evening, October 15ili, and should have
made her dock at Rush street, Chicago, on
the morning of tho 10th.
“Iu accordance with her invariable cus
tom, the Alpena touched at Grand Haven
ou Friday and wok ou a few passengers
and some freight, cloariug from that port
at nine o’clock p. ui. She was next sight
ed by the steamer Muskegon, also ol tlie
Goodrich Line, about midway the
lake, Saturday morning, show
ing that the vessel had proceeded
thus tar without accident or delay. The
weather was warm and fine, the lake was
smooth, and all on board anticipated a
pleasant trip. • • • To-day, for tbe
first time, tlie owners of the Alpena give
her up, and acknowledge that there is no
chance that she inay yet be beard from.
Every pointon Lake Michigan wluch tlie
disabled steamer could have reached for
refuge from the awful storm, which came
up with phenomenal suddenness about
three o’clock Sunday evening, has been
reached by telegraph, and still no word of
the Alpeua. Ou the contrary, pieces of
her cabin, her piano and other wreckage
were found tiiis morning on tlie beach
one mile north of Jlollaud, Michigan,
while north of Grand Haven, a large
amount of the Alpena’s freight lias drifted
ashore. At a late hour to nigiit no intelli
gence has been received iroiu any pttsseu-
;er or crew, and it is thought that 110 one
has survived to recite the story of how the
steamer was dashed in pieces by tlie furi-
o;t| wares and finally went down. All
hope that tbe Alpena might have found
shelter among the Mauitou islands is dis
sipated by the arrival of tlie propeller,
Wissahickon, at Milwaukee this morning
with tho intelligence tliat the Alpena had
not been seen at Maniton. • • • The
Associated Press agent at Holland, Michi
gan, reports: Have been to tlie shore and
along Hie beach lor a distance of five
miles; find large quauUties of apples,
headings and other freight, also portions
of the upper deck, stanchions
and rail, gang-planks and hatches,
and one door panel with the
name Alpena upon it; also two life
preservers, an oar, and a chair marked

Sunday night Mr. Each Rogers, who
lives out on the turnpike road In the
neighborhood of Giles’ store, went off to
church, leaving the bouse and little
daughter in care of his so if Johnny, aged
abour thirteen years. Johnny went to
sleep, but was awakened by tbe noise of
some one trying to force tbe kitchen latch
The latch broke, but the burglar failed to
get the door open. He tbr n tried a win
dow, and finally came upon the porch of
the house. Johnny thought this was about
time to interfere, and throwing open
window be stepped out on tbe porch also,
revolver In hand, and as tbe baffled bur
glar made a]rapld retreat, fired three shots
at him. * f
Tbe man was evidently struck, for he
cried oat loud enough to be beard by the
neighbors, who immediately earn! to the
rescue of our little marksman. > Johnny
was ealm through It aH, and did not
until the mau had passed beyond the Ihie

Rodgers returned, which be did a few
minutes after, he found the bo? standing
out doors iu his night clothing, relating
the affair to a group. In reply to an in

Mr. James C. Shaw, the popular travel
ing passenger agent of the Central rail
road, was married last night to Miss Clara
D.Subcrs, daughter of Mr. S. Subers, of
this city.
The bride is well known and greatly
esteemed by a large circle of friends for
her many excellent traits of character and
amiable disposition, and Is in every way
worthy of the heart and hand of the mau
to whom she lias coupled her destiny.
Mr. Shaw is known everywhere, from
tho Atlantic to the Gulf,
one of the most energetic
railroad men, and prince of good
fellows. We extend our congratulations,
and wish them every comfort allotted
to married life.
They leave for New York to-niglit on
an extended trip, and the good wishes and
prayers of many go with tliem.
Tbe United Htales District Court,
At the opening of tbe session on yester
day of the United States District Court
Col. L. N. Whittle, of tlie Macon bar,
arose in his place, and substantially re
marked as follows:
May it please your Honor: Before the
regular business of the court has begun, I
would like to say a few woids in behalf
of myself and my colleagues of the west
ern division of the southern district of
Georgia, expressive of onr pleasure and
gratification ou the organization of the
United States Courts in Macon, and do
hope that our relations with tlie court
over which your Honor has long and ably
presided, will continue as pleasant in Ma
con as we Lave always experienced In Sa
vannah.
Judge Erskine responded in a few
words, expressing his thanks for tbe kind
ly feejing towards himself and confidence
in the court.
The tieorxin Synod.
This distinguished body of divines and
laymen will meet in Tbumf^villo on

will probably bo about eighty . delegates
in attendance. The fair will be in prog
ress at that time, but the citizens have
been thoughtful of the welfare of the
Presbyterian brethren, and through I
committee have already secured places
for members of tho synod. Thomasville
is noted for her hospitality, and on this
occasion will doubtless sustain .her well
earned reputation.
Rev. A. W. Cllsby will leave'for Thera-

Fun for the Boys.
The little boys who possess velocipedes
will be glad to learn that a gentleman in
Macon lias taken their interests iu band,
and will inaugurate here, a custom that
has long been observed in Augusta and
other cities. He proposes having a veloc
ipede tournament on one of the streets
some afternoon. In Augusta these tour
naments are held every year, tho mer
chants of tho city contributing tho prizes,
which consist of knives, balls and other
articles best suited to a boy’s fancy. The
tournaments take place in the afternoon,
and arc as well attended as the ilremanle
parade. - ’ O i
For our own boys, the sidewalk on
Walnut street, from Second to Third, has
been selected. The boys will enter their
names for the race and be governed by
judges. Prizes will be awarded for first,
second, third, fourth, and fifth best, and
will bo governed by ages. As soon as the
preliminaries are settted, and the date
fixed, wc will let it be known. In tlie
meantime the boys should begin practic
ing. * \ ‘ ’
Our merchants cannot refuse to contrib
ute to such an object, and tbe prospect is
bright for a gala day for tlie small boys,
and much genuine amusement for their
frier ds.

A Wonderful Coincidence.
A gentleman In Macon being tnhiBld
with a severe cough, carried a bottle of
Brewer’s Lung Restorer home to take at
nights, and placid it on top of an old
clock tliat had not run in ages. He then
retired to bed. Next morning, his atten
tion was attracted by a tick, tick, and it
was some time before lie discovered from
whence it cam& never dreaming for a mo
ment it could oe tlie old clock, but oil ap
proaching it, lo and behold it was working
mamifnliy away, seeming anxious to try
ami catch up with lost time, as in tlie days
of its youth, when its machinery was not
affected by age and rust. Now, tliero is
a moral attached to this most unaccounta
ble mystery, and it goes to show that
though the lungs have stopped performing
their part in Hie human body, there is no
use becoming discouraged, bnt oil tbem
up well by taking Brewer’s Lung Restor
er, and you will be snrprised to see tlie
magic effect produced. The grandest
piece of machinery ever made (tlie lungs)
will be again put In motion, and perform
the duties assigned them with as much
vigor and ease as ever. Tho above is a
fact, strange as it may seem.
P. S.—While Brewer’s Lung Restorer
will make an old woru-out clock run by
being set on the top oi it, it will not cure
a cough by being looked at. After thfs
gentleman saw iu eflbcu on tbe dock, be
took several doles of It, and his cough was
entirely eared. Tfcb clock is on exhibi
tion, and the Brewer's Lung Restorer is
for sale by all druggist'.

Last night Miss> Adcle Beigarde af-
orded to the theatre-loving a feast. .Tjie
bill presented was a most enjoyable
one, presenting & succession of the most,
beautiful acts in Shakespeare. The "fourth
acts, from “Cymbeline,” “As You Like It,*’
“Twelfth Night,” the prison scene.. iu
“Measure for Measure,” the balcony scene
m “Romeo and Juliet,” aud the closing
scene iu “Hamlet” were given.
In these numerous acts the talented lit
tle lady was required to appear uot only
in female characters widely differing, hut
to represent also those two opposites
which the master hand of the great author
has drawn with such wonderful distinct
ness—Romeo and Hamlet. To say that she
succeeded only wcuid not he. doing justice
toa faithful actress. As Imogen, Rosalind,
Viola, Isabella and Romeo, sbq was sin
gular distinctive, cutering iuto each char
ter With a thorough sulf-rorgctflilness, anil
seeming to grasp the intention of each as
by intuition.
In.Hamlct—fora woman—she was won
derful, lacking only force of manhood suf
ficient to overcomo a boyishness In some
parts. This we take it, however, is tbe
fanit of nature, if fault it can bb termed,
for in denying us here a perfect Hamlet,
nature in Miss Beigarde has given us
perfect Isabella. If we may be allowed
to pronounce upon tbe whole bill, we
would express a preference for Isabella,
as portrayed by Miss Beigarde in the pris
on scene ol “Measure for Measure;” it
may be truly said ot her that ahe held tlie
mirror up lo nature there, aud gave us
perfect representation of a woman moved
by love, scorn and anger. -
Miss Belgarde’s acting is of that pas
sionate, impulsive kind which, while at
times it may fly above the mark, never
falls beneath it.
Of her support we scarcely know what
to say. In some pieces it is good, in oth
ers mediocre, and in others still, a failure
—that is, regarding the support as an en
tirely. Individually there were members
that stand high ai actors, and deservedly
so. Mrs. Sargent as Juliet and Ophelia,
was both realistic and inspiring, and
Mr. J. R. Anderson, who appeared
last evening in three acts, was without
fault iu the characters assumed. Several
of tlie others, also, were successful at
times. Perhaps we would belter express
ourself had wc said the support lacked
that unity of purpose tliat links the char
acters of a play together, and makes the
action of each natural.
