Then his property was sold for taxes, be

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: For a num-
b6b of years Mr. Charles Oakford Klet’,
. of Philadelphia, has been in the habit of
visiting Columbus once or twice a year, in
the Interest of the Middletown Silver
company, Connecticut, of which
E
city from Macon and was dnven immedi
ately to the Rankin House, where he en
gaged a room. In the afternoon he called
upon a number of our merchants aud sold
several bills; among others a large bill to
Messrs. Wittich* Kinsel, this firm having
lcnown him well fer years. At night he
retired at the ususl hour. About 3 o’clock
be rang his bell and a servant went imme
diately to the room to answer the sum
mons. Mr. Klett told the servant to ask
the night clerk, Mr. Mott Tuggle, to come
up to his room, that be was uot feeling
. Wtll. When Mr. Tuggle reached the room
be found Mr. Klett in au agony of pain and
sent hurriedly for Dr. Tuggle, who was
Bleeping In the same building. Dr. Tug-
S le came in a very short time, and found
(r. Klett insensible and frothing at the
mouth. In less than five minutes he was
dead. The time when the servant was
first called and tbe time of bis death did
not much exceed liiteeu minutes. He
died at 3:15 o’clock yesterday morning.
Mr. Wlttlcb, of the firm of Wittich & Kin-
aei, was sent for immediately and came
to the hotel. He had the corpse properly
dressed and encased in a metallic casket,
and then telegraphed his house and also
his sister, iu Philadelphia, as to what
course he should pursue. He received in
structions to forward the remains to Phil
adelphia, and they will go forward by ex
press, leaving this city at siven o’clock
this morning. Mr. Wittich will also ex
press bis trunk and other effects. He had
In bis purse eighty-odd dollars.. Upon a
table In his room was fonnd bis mail, and
among the letters a postal card to
au sister, Mbs E. E. Klett, of Philadel
phia, in which be stated that he
Waabot feeling well on account of a cold
contracted, but hoped to overcome It In
a day or two. Mr. Klett is well known
In this State, and, in fact, all over tbe
South, having been on tbe road as a trav
eling salesman for thirty years. He was
about fifty-five years of age, and leaves
two sisters, both of whom live in Phila
delphia. Xo gentleman who comes to
Columbus bss ever conducted himself
more punctilious In his general conduct-
All who knew him speak of his manly
traits of cbaraccer, and.all who kuew
blm are bowed in sorrow alibis sad
calamity. Mr. Tbeus, who travels for a
Hew York house, and who is now in the
city, says that be has enjoyed an intimate
acquaintance with him for years, and a
“better man that Charley Klett never
lived.” Mr. Wittich and others add their
testimony of his worth. Mr. A. B. Speir,
of New iork, who has been traveling
with Mr. Klett, was to meet him in Mont-
f umery, Ala., and when uotifirdyesterday
y telegraph ot his death answered that he
would return at once. There are none
that kuew him but held him iu the high
est regard and regret the untimely death.
And if this be so with bis friends how
heartrending must the sad news be to
those affectionate and devoted sisters In a
far away laud. Over the sad scene we
draw tbe curtain, but while their soft
bauds and loving hearts were not near,
their brother died among his friends aud
gentle hands and kind hearts prepared the
cold clay for Its last resting place in tbe
tomb. Even though unknown alt hearts
go out in deepest sympathy for the be
reaved sisters in their sad distress.

Columbus Times: There were four
bales of cotton brought to market yester
day from the plantation of Col. F. Terry,
who lives near Waverly Hall, Harris
county, that were grown and gathered In
1860, baled with ropes, and liavo been re
posing in his gin house ever since. He
was offered 474 cents for It in 1805, bat
would not sell because be thought the
revenue tax of three cents per pound was
unjust, and be said he bad rather burn the
cotton than submit to such injustice by
the government. He had at the close of
the war upwards of buffhundred bales of
cotton, and still has a few more left.

Savannah Recorder : This morning

which was at first thought would be at
tended with scrieus results. The mate
wdto|n a mast, and through some acci-

foothold to the vessel. He was picked up
and carefully attended while a message
was sent to Gen. Sorrel, the agent for tbe
Ocean Steamship Company. The mes
sage was dispatched to the official in suck
vague terms, and knowing the Dessoug
was being loaded with iron, Gen. Sorrel
summoned Dr. J. T. McFarland to at
tend the injured man. On investigation
it was ascei tained that the mate received
only a few painful bruises which will uot
seriously interfere with his duties.

Times and Planter: Wetflesday after
noon, about 3 o’clock, an ol Jnegresa who
lives in the neighborhood or Dixie, cams
into Sparta in quest of the coroner,
M. Rogers, carrying under her arm a
small wooden box, tbo contents of which
proved a surprise to all who were so
curious as to look within. In lieu of a
lid a white cloth was thrown over the box,
this being stained with blood. The cover
ing was thrown aside and tbe appalling
spectacle which was revealed was the
upper half of a colored infant—the head,
arms aud chest. In our office tho news
reached us, and sson we had found the
old woman with her charge and
were plying her with questions. This is
what we learned: Tbe old woman’s name
is Silvy Janes, and she lives a short dis
tance beyond Dixie, on tbe Greensboro
road. Wednesday morning her dog came
home from the direction of Dixie, drag
ing an object which she supposed to be a
part of some dead animal. She went
about her work, paying no attention to
the dog and her meal. On examination
site found the brute was feasting on an iu-
fant- the lower limbs and portions of the
body of which bad been eaten by
tire dog. the dog was deprived of her din
ner and our clever coroner was given a
case lo work up. A jury was impaneled
and investigation was commenced, but no
clue to the mystery could be started. Fur
ther investigation was postponed to to-day,
when the matter will be thoroughly sifted
and the mystery unraveled if possible.
There are no indications of foul play, but
what may be developed by the investiga
tion remains.to be known. The portion
of the child found is well developed.

Post-Appeal: The question of a loca
tion for a public park is a perplexing one.
The latest plan is suggested by the owners
of a quantity of land beyond the barracks,
which is to give the city forty-five acres
a3 a donation. The city _ re
quiring one hundred or more acres, the
balance will then be offered for sale at
$1,003 or $1,500 per acre, making the
cost of a park between $75,000 and
$S0,000. Pnblic sentiment appears to be
in favor of Ponce de Leon Springs as the
most eligible location, as nature has en
dowed that point with superior attractions
in the matter of water, shade trees, shrub
bery, etc. From indications there will be
various points of competition, and the
settlement of the park question a matter
of much concern with the citizens.

the fact that Mr. Henry McDonouglt will
soon establish a saw mill about one

Ecening News l At’ noon yesterday tbe
river measured thirteen feet. Al the
same hour today twenty .seven feet. This
sudden and very great rise was not unex
pected, for tho Ecening News predicted
as much yesterday in consequence of the
heavy rains of Wednesday night. The
rise last night was nearly a foot an hour.

Jesup SentiAd: Last Thursday morn
ing llcv. J. E. Black, of this place, while
engaged at work at the saw mill of Mr.
John Massey, at Doclortown, had his arm
so badly mashed that amputation was
necessary. Aa wo understand it, the band
by which the machinery is run had be
come rather loose, and lie was reaching
his band partly under the baud throwing
rosm on the pulley when the bind caught
ills sleeve and pulled ids arm down be
tween the pulley and the frame work
which held the saw, and there being so
little space between the pulley and the
frame woikhis arm was mashed almost
entirely off. His body was also drawn
iu such a position that the band came
near cutting his neck. It is a sreat won

was brought to Jesup where his wound
was attended to by Dr. Lester, and be is
now doing well. Ills many friends very
much regret this sad misfortune, and
trust tbat he shall soon recover.
Ecening News: “Live and learn from

iu regard to the affair were obtained yes
terday: Some time ago these young men
attended a party in the neighborhood,and,
for some cause, got into c quarrel. The
bad fueling engendered at the party kept
getting worse, and at last terminated in a
fight as above stated. Wednesday after
noon the two men met near the residence
of Capt. Boggs, and Ramsey proposed that
they settle their difficulty fairly then and
there. Powell began at once to remove

had it about halt off when Ramsey, drew
a pistol and began firing on blm. Three
shots were fired, one striking Powell
in the head, which glanced off inflict-
biio* a slight scalp wound. The
other two shots passed through his coat,
l’owell rushed at Itaiusey as the latter be
gan firing, and by the time the last shot
was fired had caught hold of the pistol and
taken it from him. When Powell got tho
pistol Ramsey took to his heels aud lias
not been heard of since. Powell did uot
>et a shot at his assailant, for the blood
rom his wound had run down iu his eyes,
blinding him so that he could not see lo
shoot alter getting possession of the wea
pon. This was an unfortunate affair, and
we regret that we are constrained to give
further publicity to it, but our duly as a
reporter of the news ot the day compels us
to do so.

turning homo from Mount Zion church iu
the upner part of this county, from some
cause his mule became frightened and ran
away, and Mr. and Mrs. Norris and their
youngest child were thrown from the bug-,

very painful hurt in his right
hip and back, and it is feared that
ho will be disabled for some
time, Mrs. Norris and child’s injuries
though painiul are not serious. Our in

six hundred yards attached to tho buggy,

Savannah News: TheCuyior swamp
canal, which is intended to drain the
larger part of the low lands of this coun

at the. disposal of those iu charge will
permit. The heaviest part of the work,
excavating the first mile from the head
waters ot Vernon river, is nearly comp
pitted aud m a few weeks tbe canal
will reach tbe lower end of the Cuyier
swamp, after which the cuttings will re
quire much less labor. Those who have not
sceu tbe caual can form no correct idea of
its magnitude or tbe amount of labor re

Sumter Republican: A young farmer
of Sumter county who had been greatly
worried • by the immense flocks of birds
feeding upon his youug oats, conceived
the Idea of poisoning them, so he mixed
a quantity of dough and strychnine in one
of his wife’s stove pans for baking bread.
The wife, after scouring the pan, baked
a raison pudding in it and gave some
to her sister-in-law, and the rest of
tbe family partook of it. A few min-
dies after dinner ehe thought of the
strychnine mixture, and became
frightened, thinking tbat ail ot them
were poisoned aud so informed the
rest of the family. Then there were
scared people. All the emetics to ba
thought of were brought fortli aud swal
lowed. Salt and water by the quart,
ipecac, lobelia, castor oil, sweet oil, milk,
and otter tilings were swallowed, until
every one of them were so sick tbat they
had to take their'beds. The neighbors
hearing of it went in, and the good old
mother got tbe bake pau, examined it, and
declared there was no ha.'tn.in it, as it
had been so thoroughly scoured no one
could possibly be poisoned m eating from
it. The victims of emetics are cleansed
up for the coming summer diseases.

to the lam nous tail of Macon’s boom
which is now speeding across the horizon
of Macon’s future. It was a coterie of bug-

therefore, stripped of the stiffness of for

Editors Tel eg rath and Messznofb : Wo
enjoyed n very pleasant visit yesterday af
ternoon tb tho art studio [of Mrs.It. J. Ba
con. We were mo3t handsomely qpter-
tained by the young ladies and gentlemen
composing her class, inclndingsome young
boys and girls, also somo married ludies.
Mis. Bacon has met with great success with
her undertaking, her class now numbering
twonlyredd pupils, and certainly deserves
tho thanks of tho community as well tu
their patronage, She is certainly an artist
of superior ability.
The writer was kindly received by Mrs,
B. and shown throngh every apartment,
and right hero we will be compelled to ac
knowledge our iguorupee of tho different
styles of painting and drawings, aud there
fore our inability to do the school any
thing like justice in an attempt to describe
what wo saw. Everyone was busy ns bees,
Mrs. Bacon overlooking tbo whole thing,
detecting alid correcting the least flaw or
error with an eye nnd grace that is only bo-
oominga lady of her ability and talent.
THE AItT EXIUStlTIOX.
We were shown some
mens of crayon sketches and oil paintings,
that would do credit to professionals.
Mrs. R. Hobbs has procured a farnace
and barns her own painted obinn hero. Sho
has just painted, and burned, a set of china,
for her own use, that is certainly beautiful.
We are coining up to yonr Art Exhibi
tion, with not only the prettiest set of
young ladies th.V will bo on exhibition, but
with the finest and moet complete lot of
paintings (home productions) qver exhib
ited. Furthermore, we are going to havo
an nrt exhibition here, by the school, pome
time in the latter part of March, and now
extend yon a hearty welcome to come down
and bee for yourselves..
Adept our motto (the sohool boys’), “We
don’t know such a word as‘fail,’” for we
aro now making our third attempt at cn ar
tesian well. Broke off tho piping again at
the depth of 8S5 feet. The boys say the
council are boring now for something
stronger than sulphur or iron. Wo say, "o
it. Yours, F. O. J,
rice for it. Location is everything when
t comes down to making tho honse n paj-
iug.investment, and I guess that’s what yon
want. I don’t suppose anybody wants to
int money into c pair of brick walls just to
ook at. And you don’t want fonr or five
fronts to the bnilding—one good one is
plenty. Nowadays tho front of a bnilding
costs nearly as mnch cs the inside of the
honse, nnd yonr money should be spent on
tho stage, tho chairs and the
interior decorations. Then you want to
havo a building, or rather a pair of bnitd-
ings with a court yard, or oxtensivo lebby
between them to serve os a promenade,
wherepeople can go ont between acts or
after the show and sniff fre-h nir, listen to
the play of tho fountain and inhale tho
odor of flowers,—for this promenade most
he made attractive and inviting, nnd foun
tain and flowers can fill tho bill when every
thing elso fails. Then with good stores in
front, and plenty of office rooms over
head, yon Iiave an opera
honse that will imy well,
and always draw the crowd. Of course
the management of the honse must be in
the hands of an experienced min—one who
knows the difference between a Chatham
street dive and an Italian opera, and must
also know from experienco »nd by judg
ment what is a UnMlsH attraction, and
what would suit the pnblic. He musn’t
book more than two attractions a week
daring the season, and they must bo num
ber one attiactions at tbat. Here is my
roason for this: Yon seo, don’t you, that
under tho present system, there is no
regularity in tho shows booked for Macon.
Borne weeks wo liavo nothing at all, and
thon ugain we have fonr or five, nil in a
lamp, one night after the other. Iu fact,
any snow—don’t care what kind of a show
i; is-can always get it date. Therois no
guarantee to the pnblio that the show is
worth attending, and hence tho citizen
prances up to tho box and gives up his dol
lar nnd trusts to luck to got the worth of it
back in amusement. Wo all know that
one-half the show takiag in Macon
for years onght novor to havo
been permitted to come into town, mnch
loss play. But when you have a manager
who knows his business, nnd in whose taste
and judgment the people havp confidence,
tho public can always rely on having two
good shows c week the season round, and
make their preparations and ougagoments
accordingly. The result would be that the
misorablo fly-by-night frauds would never
gull our people, and first-class managers
would work to bring their companies to
Macon, satisfied that a foil house and big
receipts awaited them. And by having an
opera house large enongh and buiit express,
iy for tho purpose, soon first-class attrac
tions as Booth, Patti and others wonld not
only be too glad to come, but charge only
the popular price for admission. The halls
are so small in most of out ijouthorn cities
that they are compelled to charge high
rates of admission, for what they lose by
wont of room thoy make np in high admis
sion. I want to seo a good opera houso in
Macon so mnch that I care bat little where
you pnt it, yet all of ns know it shoald be
placed where the Btorcs, offices aud o .her
adjuncts wonld command occupancy and
good rental.”
“Mention somo good locations for Iho
honse,” said one of thogronp.
“Lots of ’em hero. There’s tho Bailor
lot, corner Mulberry and Third. That’s a
good stand. Here’s a place on Cherry
street, where the dollar store and Harris
shoe store now are, and all that vacant
spaco back of them. There’s tho Gresham
place on Cotton Avenue, tho Dixie Works

have been asked several times in the past
two o- three days, who were the connty
commissioners of Bibb county, and not
being able to answer the question, will
you please publish their names, that honor
may be given to whom it is due. We con
sidered the step tbat Jndga Holton took a
grand one, temporally and spiritually,
and wa nowTejoico that other noble hearts
nnd hands are sustaining him. I noticed
that' Judge Clark has been giving some
reminiscences of some of yonr illustrious
dead. Now, dear old Macon waB my homo

have been greater expressed ? Well, what

One of your citizens asked in yesterday’s
issue: “Can Macon corns from under the
dreadful afflicting evil of liqnor saloons ?”
Yes; by effort. Go to work kindly, per

And the crowd thought Barr’s bead level,
and his suggestions timely. If we can
count on two first-class attractions per
week daring the season, and no danger of
being roped in to a poor show, Macon will
be benefited nt least that mnch by a new
opera honse.
The reporter then turned ms attention to
the meeting of the directors, held at the
offibe of Mr. J. F. Hanson. They discussed
the new enterprise fully, end agreed to in
crease tbe amount of stock, having satisfied
themselves that the increase conld be made.
They will apply at once f Jr a charter, and
get to wort as soon as poisible. Three
committees were appointed, as follows:

amined by the building committee. The
question of site was considered, end, while
it is pretty well sottled ns to ita whereabouts,

opened.
Nashville,February 11.—Tho opinion
of tlis Supreme Court delivered to-day
declares invalid and unconstitutional
the act of April, 1881, to compromise tho
bonded indebtedness of Tennessee at par
and 3 per cent, interest, the coupons be
ing receivable for taxes. Two of tho iivo
judges, Ewing and Deaderick, dissent
from this decisiun. Reviewing tho suit,
Judge Tourney, in delivering his opluiou,
said; “One of tho Circuit judges of the
btato lad granted a fiat enjoining tlie
funding board. On its hearing the chan
cellor, on ills own motion, dismissed the
bill and complaint, and tax-payers ap
pealed. The argument that the tax-pay
or is hound by honor and words to pay
under the existing law the debt and G
per cent, interest, aud therefore can sus
tain no injury from being compelled to
pay half that interest, and therefore ought
not to be heard to complain, cannot avail
with the courts. The debtor may ask the
intervention of the courts to prevent the
enforcement in part of an agreement to
pay as well as of the whole. When
tho act is a complete or executed
contract, and is being directly enforced,
the tax-payer may resist it. There is no
good reason why he msy not strike it at
tlie threshold ami destroy its half-grown
life. The Legislature is the creature of
the constitution, and cannot rise above it,
ami when the law making power violates
the constitution, its act is a nullity, aud,
being a nullity, is not the authority of the
State. Tho constitution is the work of
the people, and can only be changed by
tbe people. The funding act being un
constitutional, this suit against officers
brought into being by it is not a suit
against officers of tho State, hut is a
suit against citizens attempting to com
mit a wrong, and may be maintained. The
creditors of the Stale have not now the
right tq demand a first mortgage upon the
lifo ot tho State, its taxes and taxing
power.
In conclusion, Judge Tourney said he
considered the lundingactuuconstltution-
ai and void, am] that the injunction was
properly granted and should be perpetual.
The two other judges ofthe majority held
substantially the same views, but their
opiniont are expressed at much greater
length. Chief Justice Deaderick, in tli
minority opinion, held that the fuudi:ij
act was uot void; tnat the courts have no
power to review or reverse the action of
the General Assembly, except such action
is a violation of the constitution, and if
within the constitutional power ot tho
General Assembly, it cannot be questioned
by the courts upon allegations of bribery
or fraud.
He bolds that the Legislature has the
power to pass a funding act, there being
no constitutional inhibition; that the act
is constitutional and not void, and that
the chancellor’s decreo dismissing tbe in
junction should be affirmed. This opln.
ion la concurred in by Special Justice
Ewing.
Tbe decision of the Supreme Court
to-day as to the constitution
ality of the fuuding act was on
the sole ground that the Legislature
conld net make a valid contract making
the coupons receivable for taxes for niuety-
uine years. In all other respects it is re-
t arded as constitutional, and the majority
•Id tbat charges of corruption against the
Legislature could not be entertained by
the judicial department. There was no
question in tbe case touching tbe liability
of Tennessee railroads to Sens in favor
of holders of bonds issued by the State in
aid of the road#.

come are placodjar below what is reason
able to snppose will remit Tho taHe
forms a subject of stndy for onr people,
and we hope tbo object will not be allowed
to drop.
We make one more appeal to onr citizens.
Aside from the love of Macon nnd a desire
to see her pro jper, the Exhibition can be
made to pay handsome dividends to every
individual who subscribes to it Here ia
Mr. Irvine’s statement:
“1 am not surprised that somo of the
gentlemen should bo alarmed at the mag
nitude of tlie undertaking, viewing t bo mat
ter from a certain standpoint Art carries
with its name an idea of expen-so. Wo nil
know that often the smallest picture will
command a price of thousands of dollars,
and we have probably associated the idea
of the cxpeaie of the exhibition with tho
intrinsio value of tho exhibits. Wo do not
propose baying these works of art, gentle
men, but propose offering a place of exhi
bition and nn inducement to exhibitors.
This can be dene at a comparatively small
expense, as I will endeavor to show you by
tho table of estimates which I will in a few
inmates read. We have probably thought
of the number of employes which it usu
ally takes to ran onr agricultural exhibits,
oral at tbo same time we lose sight of the
fact that wliero it took a half dozen gate
keepers for out-door exhibits it will take
but two for the art enterprise, and the
same conld bo said of the ticket sellers,the
patrolmeu, tho supervisors of departments
and other positions. I Iiave given this
matter close attention, and I think that in
the table I iiave prepared the approxima
tion is n close one, magnifying rather than
nnderatiDg all expenses. Tho following is

One No* Expected to Live.
About sundown on Friday evening, a
lumber train in charge of Conductor Har
ris, happened to a singular accident, whioh
caused serious injui y to two of tho train
hands.
Aa tho train was passing No. juet
below Eastman, one of the front standards
which held the lumber in position, broke
off, letting down a stick of timber, the end
of which struck the ground, and of course
was twisted around as quick #i t thou {ht
knocking off two of the hands. Tom Jack-
son was struck in the breest, and Has
Hutchins in the stomicb. They were
knocked thirty feet, and fell doubied np on
the gronnd. A man named Kinch was on
the depet platform and tri*Nl to get ont of
tha way of the timbftr, but was not quick
enough and was struck in tbe head. He
cannot recover. The other men were b&styr
though uot fatally injured.
The lumber fell from the car piece by
piece, but no more damage was done, and
the train stopi$ed as soon as the trouble
was discovered. The wounded men were
cared for, a doctor at Eastman being pro
cured. . , , , ..
One of the tram hands, who saw the ac
cident. says the men were thrown about
twenty feet high, rie says it is a miracle
that more were not injured, aa there were,
several men on the oar sitting on the lam-
her. to*
There was no one to blame for the aoci-
dent. The standard had probably too
much strain on it, which was the reason of
its breaking.

Yesterday the managers of the late elec
tion met in the grand jury room, Judge
McManus presiding. Tho day was con
sumed in the examination of witnesses for
the fence side. These witnesses were very
old cr very young voters, and their names
not appearing on the tax books, their votes
wore t brown ont as illega*. The fence par
ty claim that they wore legal voters, end
hence their votes should not have bean
thrown out, and should be counted. By
this means tbe fego* parte gained (boot
eight votes, mating them tem at three
votes ahead, provided the DO-f(
not offset them.
