Athzxs Banner-Watchman: Everyone predicts a decline in the price of comas •oon as the grain crop is harvested, as the demand mrat necessarily greatly abate. Farmers can squeeze through on their wheat and oats.

The Augusta Sews say*: To say that the ' wheat and oat crop on the river farms is immense is bnt a faint expression. An in spection of eight or ten miles along the river frODt will show the !>est crops of theao grains ever seen in this county. There is very little rust in the wheat, und the oats have none whatever. Th* Cumulation of Sunday says : About half-pa-t five o’clock yesterday afternoon a scaffold around a now building on Green’s t erry avenue, near the city limns, gave way and fell tj the ground, a distance of about twenty feet.

Tex Atlaxta Constitution ot Sunday I oon tains several column* on Maeon mat ters from the pea of Mr. C. X Logan. 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 to Atlanta, or any other city. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to‘the fine exhibit made of Macon and Macon merchants and enterprise, which The Constitution presents this morn ing.” 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. Noble W.

THr Angnsta Sews ot Monday says: A robbery of evident design and great valne occurred last night at the residence of Mr.». iMn on the corner of Telfair and Sixth street*. TheloM was considerable, amount ing to abont $1,000, and tho valuables have not yet been recovered. about three-quarters of an boor before the boat reached thi* city. At that time she Wat taken suddenly ill, and Dr. Moeeke, a physician, who waa on board the steamer, was summoned to attend her. He did all that oocld be done tor her relief, but she died within thirty minute* from the time j that she first eompl&ined. 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 •peculator* who are “sqoecxed out.” The uuoertainty in regard to the Jane divi dend is attributed as one of the causea. Yet the sales ware quite Urge, seven hun dred shares being reported I* sold. It U stated that some offering* were made as low as 97, but we have no authentic account of sales being made at less than par. The stock is intrinsically worth more, and this 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 tion.” rhe market closed active last evening at 100 bid, 101 asked. It may be mentioned that some time since a Bay street merchant, who w*a convinced that the stock would decline further, con tracted to deliver one thousand share* to a broker at 110 daring the first week of May for a consideration. Yesterday he deliv ered the stock, which cost him considera bly below that figure, and reoelved a check for $110,000. The psrty to whom it wag delivered will loee tan dollars on the share —a pretty heavy loss. There were no changes in other stocks and bonds worth noting, and very little was done in other •ecnnties.

He then struck Mr. Flani gan several times with a stick, bruising his hands end arms considerably, but did cot inflict any serious wound. It is probable that this tronhlo grew out of a difficulty between these gentlemen, which transpired several weeks ago, iu which Mr. Paschal received a severe wound in the leg from Mr. Flanigan's pistol.

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.

Elections were then held for vioo- presideLts and secretaries, and while the ballots were being counted an hour was devoted by tbe convention to devotional exercises. In response to a call for those who bad taken part in tho organization of tho Southern Baptist Convention in 1845, seven men rose—Drs. Mell, bur rows, 8cydnor, McIntosh, Carswell, and Messrs. T. P.

The work has mode encouraging progress in every department. The board recommends that $6,500 be raised by churches to pay off the debt resting on the mission in New Or leans. In 1875, when the present secretary went into office, lhe board was burdened by an indebtedness of $17,000. Tito debts have been cancelled, the salaries of tho missionaries have boon promptly paid nnd n balance of $6,310 is iu the treasury for future work. The board received duriog the year $38,370.08 in' addition to the funds extended,by State boards,aggregating$0,',,- 903.28, making the total contributions to the home missionary work by the Southern Baptist churches 8.) 1,273.86.

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.

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 for nn educational fund for tho benefit of the ooiored Methodint church aud the cre ation of a board of trustees for the custody of the fund. Dr. A. A. Bedford, lhe former book ngent of the Methodist publishing house, begin the rending of a voluminous com munication in reply to iho report of the, book committee, which he regarded ns re- i iiectiii,: upon his integrity in the manage- | inert of the affair* of the publishing house. ■ Pending the reading, lhe conference took Mmr neetlnar—a Bsiket 1‘leale Heel- deal Cs>oa—House asltias at Hal- tee—Hew Poetiunsler, A goodly number of the Farmers’ Club met at their commodious rooms last Sat urday afternoon, and were called to order by President Lockett. The minutes wero read, and order of bnainess proceeded with. John W. T. Howard, Eaq., was unanimously elected a member of the eiub. 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 and friendly conversation will be the order ot the day, and everybody will be woloome, if they bring a good basket of substantiate to fpread upon tho common table always so well loaded with good things. 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. Lockett, R. E. Bowman and W. D. H. Johnson wsm appointed to correspond with Major McCracken, superintendent of con struction, and ask for a snsoial train of oars to transport visitors to tho baeket pic nic on the 3d of June. 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, A DEPUTED CHRISTS AX, * OU14UVO «LWU4 A HN*niAJ| MIUUWIU) PAUUiUt| 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.

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. l Savannah—S. A. VrTiite, J. M. Ma- ITebsbllllj That tiro Fatal Slrot Ww | «rol toy Bartow Baaetm 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.

On yesterday Mrs. Iola Lamar Mnnroe died, in this city, after a painful illness. Sho was the daughter of Judge Henry G. Lamar and Mrs Mary Ann Lamar, the lat ter of whom pissed away only a few days in advance of her daughter. Mrs. Munroe was well known to all of our Deo- ple, who will recall her graces of mind and manner j and her affectionate and confiding disposition. , a Her death comes with peculiar sadness, for she has left behind six little children, none of whom have reached beyond that ago whon they require the cira and affec tion that a mother alone can bestow.

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. AbsoSutely Pure, This powder never vanes.
