The following appears in IhdBditorUl
column*: "It gives ns especial pWsure to
write of Mason. It is, without doubt, a
solid city, full of solid people. When such
a city takes on such a boom os Macon is
now blessed with, there i* no feverish or
mush-room growth about it. It never loses
a step in the progress it makes: and it is
making strides now that wonld do credit

Tax following list of stolen goods-was
found under the pulpit of the Methodist
church in Jefferson, Jackson county. We
quote from the Herald: The list of arti
stes found was as follows: Ten pairs of
ladies’ shoes, about a dozen pairs of sus
penders, two bunches of shoe strings, three
dozen spools of thread, three gross of pins,
two or three gross of buttons, two bottles
of oologne, four bolts of ribbon, one hood
and one girl’s hat. The pnlpit floor ia over
eighteen inches from the floor of the
church, and a step is used to make the
ascent. The step had been removed, and
the plank forming the base boud of the
pnlpit had been bored into affd apiece
taken ont, and the goods *ere shored
through the hole into the emMr space un
derneath the pnlpit; the stop was then
placed back in its former
position, and no trace of the hiding place
oonld be found. Many are the surmises
as to who did the stealing and why it was
that the articles were never cerrfed off or
tued. The general opinion is that'the
go;ds were stolen from Mr. F. M. Bailey’s
store either in the latter patt of lS7d or in
1879, as his store was broken open about
that time snd some articles were mis?ed.
Some of the shoes have Mr. Bailey’s cost
mark upon them, which is further evidence
of the fact that the goods were stolen from
his store. But os to who did the crime, or
why they have never nsed the stolen goods,
remains a deep mystery that defies solation
with the present meagre array of facts.

The Savannah Seurs, ot U>s 9th, says:
There was oorsiderable excitement)Satur
day in the stock market, caused by the
sudden weakening of Central, which early
la th# day dropped from 103\ to par. The
cans* of thi* decline in variously aoeonnted
for, but it is unneueeeary to give the differ
ent rumor*. The fail, however, was not
unexpected by the shrewd once, but it had
a disastrous effect on a number ot small

uuoertainty in regard to the Jane divi
dend is attributed as one of the causea.
Yet the sales ware quite Urge, seven hun

is the general belief, yet it has no effect on
the price, and it is feared it may still go
lower before a reaction take* place. That
it will eventually advanoe seems to admit
of myloubt, but when b a [mooted ques

Bashes till* Gazette: Last Saturday
evening at midnight Mr. John A. Conner
was aroused from his slumbers by a bright
light shining throngh his room window.
He was at onoe convinced that his resi
dence was being consumed by fire. He
awakened his wife, and as roou as possible
got the children out cf their beds into the
yard. This done, Mr. Conner took the bed
he had been sleeping on and threw it ont
the door, and then carried out his wife’*
trank. llMting bis wife, and knowing she
could net TC into the burning building
without endangering her life, he therefore
told her she must not go back. The bed in
the yard had oaught on fire, and he seized
it and took it further to save it from the
fl&mea. Mrs. Conner escaped with noth
ing but her night clothes on, exoept a sum-
msr dress in the trank nnd a shawl, which
she threw around her shoulder? until' Dr.
Green came With his buggy and carried
her to his house. Mr. Conner infoims us
that he retired about ten o'clock, and has
no idea how the house caught fire. The
endof thewingof the building in which the
stove was situated burned down first, bnt
Mr. Conner thinks that the fire was not
accidental. Everything was consumed ex
cept the trank and bed mentioned.
Atlaxta Constitution: Official notice
has been given for weeks past in seven re

too South and in the New York Observer,
that the general assembly of the Presbyte

in Atlanta/Georgia, on the third Thursday
08th day) ot May, 1882, at 11 o’clock a. m.
The opening sermon by the moderator of
the local assembly. In view of the exist
ence of small-pox in tbe city, a meeting
was held on Monday, the. 8th instant, in
the oonnting-room of Moor & Marsh to
oon-ider the expediency of requesting the
moderator to postpone the meeting of the
assembly. There were present four pastors
and abont eighteen to twBnty offloers of
Presbyterian churches. I was selected as
chairman of the meeting. While I did not
favor a postponement, yet a decided ma
jority voted to send a telegram to Bev. R.
Farris, D- D., moderator, residing in
81 Louis, in tho.-e word.o, following n sl-sto-
ment touching the rt-c-mt developments of
small-pox, chiefly among tho negroes, and
the hazard of sojourning here by persons
unprotected by vaccination: 1 Can yon not
postpone the meeting of the general as
sembly to July?” A reply was.received to
day from Dr. Farris declining to make a
change. It runs thus: "Too late to post
pone. The assembly will meet and ad
journ, if necessary.” This settles the ques
tion. The body will convene according to
appointment on Thursday, the 16th inst,
in the First church, ffiien the opening ser
mon will be delivered by Dr. Farris, of St.

Nashville, May 6, 1883.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Tbe
first two days of conference were spent in
receiving reports and memorials from an
nual conference*. Among the moat ex
citing were the reports of the Southern
Methodist Publishing House, by agent
and book committee. The latter contained
some very severe strictures on Rev. Dr.
Redford, the former agent, involving hi*
moral character.' He was charged with
improper use of his office in promoting
his own personal ends. His friends de
manded a bearing for him before the con
ference in his defense. This the conference
decided to give him. He is now preparing
his reply, Mid it will be read on Monday
before the conference and be referred to
the committee on publishing house. Tbe
chairman of tbe book committee, Judge
Whitworth, says they will be-able to fcdly
establish all the chargee made against Dr.
B. We shall let yon know tbe result.
The conference was shocked to-day at
the opening of the session to learn that
Dr. Thomas O. Summers, the secretary,
died this morning at 6 o’clock. Dr Sum
mers was abont seventy years old; has
been an aetive minister for over fifty
yean; was, at the time of his death, book
editor, editor of Souther* Quarterly Re-
rieui, professor of systematic theology in
Vanderbilt University, and dean of the
faculty. He leaves an in valid wife and one
son, Dr. Thomas O. Summers. He was a
great and good man, and his loss to the
church will be severely felf.
The election for bishops will come off
next week. Among the name* prominent
ly before the conference is yonr fellow-
townsman, Rev. Joseph 8. Key, D. D. Dr.
Haygood is also prominent, as yon know,
besides others. But why guess ?
The Tzpbohafh and Mzbstnoek ooac.es
regularly to the Publishing House reading
room, aud is eagerly sought after and read
with interest.
To-morrow all the churchei in tho city
will be filled with preachers from the gen

_• z- • Nashville, May 8,1882.
Editor* Telegraph and Messenger:—I
write on Monday, and will give yoa some
incidents of the Sabbath day that may be
interesting to at least some of your
readers:'.
At 11 a. m. the new McKendree chnrch
was dedicated by Bishop Paine, and the
sermon was preached by Rev. B. M. Mes-
sick, of Louisville, from Haggai i, 8,9. It
was a splendid sermon, and was listened to
with deep interest by a largj audience.
This is anew church, built in place of the
former one, which was burned. Aa your
people at Macon are speaking cf a new or
improved chnrch at Mulberry, it may not
be amiss to describe thie structure—which
cc3t about $50,000.
The new building is grand in all its pro-
srtions. The style of architecture is the
Norman-Gothio, with changes to suit the
last of architect, which ho calls the Thomp
sonian style, aa there is nothing tike it
anywhere. It stands fifty feet back from
Chnroh street, leaving a large front yard
whioh is terraced, sodded and set with
evergreens. A neat iron fence sarronnds tho
whole, having two front entrances. Two
pathways, paved with flagging, lead to the
entrances of the church. The building is
186x62 feet exolnaive of an alcove
in the rear. The front trimmings are of
Istone and the roof of slate. There are
three towers on the front, tbe centre one
252 feet high, and one on each side 140
feet in height. The three front entrances
Rre supplied with stone ste;H aDd carved
buttress railings. The main doors are 20
feet in height. The main vestibule is 16
feet square, with one on each side half as
largo. The interior of the building sur
passes the former one. The wall* are
beautifully frescoed, and tbe windows are
of elegant etnined glr-.r. Tbe windows
cq?t §1,200, and were purchased of Riddle
Jb Co., of Cincinnati. Tho gas fixtures
were put in by David Growar, of Nashville.
Iu the auditorium there are three chan
deliers having 101 burners ‘and one chan
dalier in the three vestibules. I
The floor is covered with the best Bras-
sels carpet, furnished by Benson <fc Co. for
§1,260. The cushions for the pews wero
furnished by H. D. Otennoor nt a co.it ot
$1,020, while the massive pews, semi
circular in form, wero manufactured by-
Haynes, Spencer &. Co., of Bichtnond, Inch,
at a cost of $2,800. There are 136 pews in
all. with a seating capacity for 850 persons.
The large organ, the largest in the South,
cost $3,G0J. The MaKendree Chnrch is
the model church of tha Methodist Epis
copal Ohnrcb, South.
lathe afternoon we nil attended the fu
neral of Rev. Dr. T. O. Summers, about
Wbblfe death I wrote ill my Inst. It took
place at the chapel of Vanderbilt Universi
ty at 3:30 d. m., and called together one of
the largest and most distinguished audi
ence* evor assembled in Nashville. The
chapel was handsomely and appropriately
draped and ornamented. Tbe faneral dis-
cunr.-c was delivered by Rev. BjahopKee
ner, assisted by Bishops Pierce and Kava-
nnngb. Tha order of tha funeral proces
sion wts as follows: First, Bishops; sec
ond, Alabama, Texas and Baltimore dele
gates to the General Conference; third, tho
corpse; fourth, tli9 family of deceased;
fifth, faculty and students of Vanderbilt
Unlvenityieix'.li, board of missions, book
concern and membt-rs cf the General Con
ference; seventh, friend* of the deoehsed.
He was buried on the University grounds
by the aide of Bishop Boole, ana a non
beautiful spot could not have been selected.
At night Dr. Key and your correspondent
attended service i t the Fisk university.
This is n mammoth establishment, insti
tuted and sustained largely by the Ameril
can Mirsionary Association of New York.
They have two very large and substantial
buildings, ono of which is just being com
pleted. The one now occupied is called
the Jubilee hall, nnd was built by the pro
ceeds of concerts given in Europe by the
celebrated Jubileobiiiger* who were main
ly educated at the Fisk university. They
have in attendance about 400 or moro
colored students, male and female, who
rcccivo education at a nominal cost—I be
ll. .v about $12 per month, including hoard.
It is a grand enterprise and bound to do
great good. Hev. Mr. Crevart, at present
at th) bend of the institution, was onoe at
and ia a very earnest, faithful
worker in education. But I must close this
letter. J. W. B.
Nashville, Texn., May 9.—In the Meth
odist conference to-day tho committee re-
ported a resolution to authorize the College
of Bishops to orgauizo annua! conferences
in China and Central Mexico during the
next quudrenniom. The committee on
episcopacy prevented a written tribute to
the memory ot tho deceased Bishops
Yi’tohtemim and Dogget,aud also recom
mend :d granting tbe request of Bishop
Paine to be retired from future active ser
vice, accompanied with nn' eulogy of his
character and past services.
The committee on revivals recommended
that the discipline bo amended so that no
application for a supernumerary relation
bo granted by an nnnnnl conference ex
cept on the recommendation of a commit
tee on conference relations, t a be appoint
ed by tiio conference, consisting of not leas
than seven members, and said committee,
in making up their deoision, shall not take
into consideration anything elso than tho
personal liability of tho applicant—pro
vided that in uase tho oommitteo report
adversely the conference may by a vote of
not less than three-fourths of the members
present grant said application. The com
mittee nUo recommended a resolution for
a committee to prepare a graded system
of standard catechisms.
Tho oommitteo oneduentioo-in reference
to educational wants of the negro popula
tion urge the improvement of tne opportu
nity offered to prosch to their congrega
tions. The report says: "Oar people in
the South hive cheorfully borne their share
in providing for tlu educational wants of
the colored race, mid endeavored to pro
mote common school education among
them.” The committee reoommrnd the
appuiutiiiout of a committee of education
to aid the colored Methodist Episcopal
churcli in America tocolioct contributions

the ooiored Methodint church aud the cre
ation of a board of trustees for the custody
of the fund.

On motion cf Robert E. Bowman, Esq.,
it was decided to bold the annual basket
picnic at the dab fair grounds and hall on
tbe tint Saturday, the 3rd of June next,
and Rev. Dr. A. J. Battle and others were
chose u to deliver addresses on the occa-
c. sion.
Speech-making, eating, mnsio, dancing

Mr. F. M. Johnson has sold out his store
and stock of goods to his brother, Mr. A.
E. Johnson, and has removed, having
taken a contract on the Rome extension of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. He has resigned Iv* position a.-t
postmaster, and on motion of Mr. Bow
man, Captain R. E. Park was requested to
apply fjr the plaoe, and wan duly recom
mended to the Poetmaater-Generai for the
appointment.
A committee composed of Messrs. A. M.

Bowman’s Chalybeate spring is looming
up in importance. This spring is located
one mile above Holton station, about three
hundred yards from the railroad, and in
the midst of four acres reserved by Mr.
Bowman when the plantation was sold to
Mr.Davis. It ia strong iron water; as good
aa the Chalybeate Spring* in
Meriwether oonnty, and rises in the
qnarro of ten aores of granite, near Dr.
Lee Holt’s fine farm. Forty year* ago
this mineral spring was a popular health
resort, and many of onr citizen*, among
them General Holt, Judge Nisbet, Mr. J.
E. Wells and others, recollect when there
were cabins erectei there, and numerous
families from Patnam, Baldwin, Monroe,

Bibb and other counties spent the summer
at this spring, and quaffed its cooi, invigo
rating tonic waters. It is hoped andbe-
lieved that a hotel will be built there, and
invalids and pleasure seekers afforded an
opportunity to test the water.
After the o'.nb adjourned several gentle
men, among them Messrs. A. M. I.ackett,
Thomas Holt, Augustas Redding, John T.
Dozier, Robert E. Park, John W. T. How
ard and Waiter T. Ros«, went to the pro
posed depot site, and witnessed the raising
of the frames of a store 36 by 20 feet in
size, with veranda, and a wood and black
smith shop. These will be the first build
ing* erected at Holton station, but
when the authorities are prepared to
carry lumber to the station, other
parties will follow the enterprising example
of Mr. Howard and build cottages, somefor
summer residences and others for perma
nent homes. Mr. Harkins, of Jones coun
ty, has established a ferry ab rat five miles
above Holton. It is hoped by our Jones
county friends that one will also be located
on the river on Mr. English’s place. The
citizens of Jones county willderive no ben
efit whatever from the railroad unless con
venient ferries are established for them to
cross upon and transport their farm pro
duce to market. Their roads to Maeon are
in a terrible condition, and they desire to
derive some benefit from the railroad, tho
trains ot which ran across the river before
thsir eyes, but whieh they cannot reach or
U-H-, owing to tho want of facilities to cro.-s
over. Ferries will increaso nooessibility,
and thereby increase the valne of adjacent
Jones county lands.
Death of a Foixl Hwlher aod s Tra
Friend
Tbs cireie of a loving family is again
broken ; ber seat is forsaken. A heart 6a«
gone from among them which no longer
shall thrill with joy in their gladness or
grief in their ill. Her funeral antbom is a
glad evangel, for the good die not, and her
heavenward flight is but a release from
long months of suffering on earth which
wins an entrance into the eternal bliss of
that bright realm beyond the stars.
As is well known to the citizens of Ma-
oon, Mrs. C. A. Nutting had been afflicted
for some time with serious sickness,bnt dur
ing the rocent few months there was a per
ceptible betterni nit of health and a return
ing strength which gave promise of a life
to be extended many years into tho future.
But jnst ns friends and kindred were in
the full flush of this hope, the tree of love
waa shaken by the hand of heaven and the
mother-flower felled from the parent stem,
drooped and died.
Mrs. Nutting, in company with one of
her daughters, waa walking in her garden
Monday morning lost, abont half-past ten
or eleven o'clock, whon she was stricken
down with apoplexy and was abie only to
utter the ono sentence which told the story
of her heart and revealed the link which
bound her to life: “Oh 1 my dear children,
yonr mother is going to die and mast leave
yoa.” That was tho s jle gleam of intelli
gence that manifested itself from the hour
of the fatal attack until a quarter past ten
o’clock yesterday morning, when, sur
rounded by friends and family, there came
a gentle sigh, and the spirit bad for
saken its wearied tenement of clay
and returned unto the God who
gave it. She lingered through the
preceding twenty-fonr hoars, unconscious
of pain, and calmly passed away. ’Tis
singular that both Mr. and Mrs. Netting
shonld have been attaoked with their final
illness while walking in their garden, and
each died on the morning of the same dsy
of tho week. He waited bnt a few months
on the other shore of tbe river ere she
crossed over and rested with him.
Mrs. Nutting’s sudden death was a great
surprise to the sooros of acquaintances
who loved to call her friend, and the ten
dered sympathies of thi* community are
extended to her deeply sorrowing children.
Mrs. Nutting had for many years been
a devoted member of the Methodist
Church, and lived a consistent Christian.
Her heart was ever open to charity’s claim.
Sweet promptings nnto kindest deeds weie
in her very look, and tbe blessings of her
life fell on all like the iew on flowers,
while good thoughts, where her footsteps
pressed, tike fairy blossoms grew.
“As a cloud oi the sunset, slow melting in
heaven?
As a star that Is lost when tho daylight is given,
As a glad dream of summer, which wakens In
bliss,
Sho hath passed to the world of the holy from
Tho funeral services will be held this
morning at 11 o’clock, from the Into resi
dence of the deceased on College Hill.

SO SMALL-POX CASES
Aa Tet to be Found In Hacon-WIId
Humors, Etc.
The city was considerably stirred yester
day owing to the prevalence of a number
of rumors to the effect that small-pox was
in the city.
The first rumor to reach our reporter’s
ears was of two men having been pot off
the train near the city, both being sick
with tho plague; another was that ono of
our ministers had said in his pnlpit on Son-
day that there was a cose on Fifth street;
another was that an express messenger
came in from Atlanta sick and was taken
to his boarding-hoaaa. -
Thoee rumors our nporter investigated
fully, and he is glad to be able to say that
each of them was without foundation. Dr.
Blnck-ihear said that a case could not be
concealed, and if there was one in the city
ho would be certain to find it. He said,
farther, however, that he would not be sur
prised at any time to find it here, nnd as
there were no doubt several thousand per
sona who had never been vaccinated,
prompt action on the part of lhe authori
ties was necessary to have every person
vaccinated at the earliest possible mo
ment.
The city council will not to-night in iho
matter,nnd we believe will socare the people
as far aa possible, from anything like nn
epidemic, should a few case* find their way
here. We shall report promptly the first
case that moke* it* appearance.

e find the following in the Athens Ban-
Jicr-lf atchman of yesterday, in reference
to the Rountree killing: “It was whispered
on the street corners yesterday evening that
Drs. Benedict and Campbell had been dis
patched to Quitman by Solioitnr-General
Mitchell to exhume the body of Walter
Rountree and find the ball that cauzod ids
death. The mission of these two geutle-
men,' who returned to tbs city Sunday
evening, was not known probably to any
one outside of tire State's counsel. We
endeavored to get all the facts and
lay them before onr readers this
morning, bnt the Solicitor-Gen
eral and Dr. Benedict refused to
be interviewed, and therefore had to rely
solely on what we could gather on the
street*, and give them to the public for
what they ore worth. The ball thut Dr.
Benedict o«t from the body of Waiter
Rountree was brought to the city on his
return Sunday evening, aud waa weighed,
together with another ball taken from
Frank Johnson's pistol, by Dr. Joe Jacobs,
at his drug store on College avenue, and
the result was ascertained that the bell that
ended Rountree’s life came from
Bartow ‘TOUntree's pistol. Wo would
have been glad to have given an extended
Hocouut. of the whole proceeding*, bnt
those that knew the facts refused to reveal
them unless all other parties gave their
oonaent."
It appears that Mr, Joe Twiggh son of
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, who was with the
Rountree boys when tho fata! affair took
place, was satisfied that Walter Rountree
was killed by a ball from his brother’s pis
tol and not by Frank Johnson. He says
that when the difficulty occurred he was
between Walter Rountree and Johnson and
knew that a shot fired by Johnson could
not strike Rountree without fiivt striking
him (Twiggs.) B trtow Rountree was fir
ing at John‘•on. nnd whilo this firing was
going on Twiggs felt Walter Rounlreo
shudder convulsively, aa if struck. He was
then satisfied that Bartow Rountree had
accidentally shot hi« brother while firingut
Johnson. He laid the fact* before tho so
licitor-general and the tatter im
mediately went to Jndge Erwin sud told
him about it. Judge Erwin, who is now in
Augusta, says he at onoe appointed a medi-
cal commission to go to Quitman md ex-
nm'ne the body. Their examination satis
fied them that the fatal shot was fired from
a central fire cartridge, of large o tlibre
like that nsed by Bartow Rountree, and al
together different from Frank Johnson’s
pistol, whioh was a small Colt’s. Upon
their return to Athens and report of these
facts, the solicitor-general withdraw the
indictment charging Johnson with murder
and laid another, charging him with sa-
eault with intent to murder, before the
grand jury, who returned a true bill.

died, in this city, after a painful illness.
Sho was the daughter of Judge Henry G.
Lamar and Mrs Mary Ann Lamar, the lat

Her death comes with peculiar sadness,
for she has left behind six little children,
none of whom have reached beyond that

Action ol the City
Night.
The excitement created by the ground
less rumors of Monday subsided yesterday,
and tho publication of the facta in tho case
set at rest many anxious minds.
As was expected, the city council at its
session last night took hold of the znatier.
A communication from Dr. J. Emmett
Blackshear, of the Maeon Med
ical board, urging the council. t»
prompt action in havin^a general vaocirn-
tion, was read, after whiehseverai motions
were made, all lookiug to the same und.
These were crystalized into a motion made
by Alderman Johnson to the effect that the
Mayor be empowered to act with the medi
cal board in c.iusiug the immediate vaooi-
nation of the citizens of Macon.
The mayor will procecd at once, and will
probably appoint physicians to vaccinate
all whom tney visit at twenty-five cents j
each, the city furnishing the vims. It waa
stated by the mayor last night that he
could obtain quills at thirteen and a bait
centteach.
Now, let everybody take advantage of
the opportunity aud be vaccinated. This
appeal is made only to those who are una
ble to pay their family physician to vacci
nate teem.
There is not a case of small-pox in th*
city; but ono may come do'wn from At
lanta to-night, and from one case a hun
dred may develop. It is. therefore, the
duty of every citizen to aid in making as
narrow a field ns possible for the disease to
operate in.
