12 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY DECEMBER 8, 1885.-TWELYE PAGES. A TERRIBLE TBAGEDY. Kd Strohecker Shoot* Sam Jemison and Lone* Ilia Own Life. At0:20 o'clock fat night a tragedy occurred In Bernier's restaurant, on Mulberry street, which re sulted in tho death of one man and the probable death of another. The coutuMou caused by tho unexpected and terrible event, rendered obtaining the cause of the tragedy and it* partirularn very diffi cult A TKLEOttaru reporter went into the restau rant about five minutes after the deplorable event occurred. About half a dozen gentlemen were present On the floor, near the front windows, lay Ed Htrohecker, breathing out his life. Ills gasps ■were audible all over the room, and served to add to the gloom and horror of the occasion. In a chair on the right side of the room, near the stove, sat Mr. Sam Jemison, several gentlemen standiug around him and trying to stanch the blood which flo ved from a wound in his right aide. The reporter questioned several gentleman as to the particulars of the tragedy. Mr. W. B. Sparks •aid: "A party oGgentlemen were sitting around a table in tho front right hand ^ornerof the room. Among them was Mr. Jemisou. lie and Mr. Dolph Poweli were laughing and talking, Mr. Powell teasing Mr. Jemisou about his famous dog case. BTBOHECKEB ESTEHB, ‘•While the merriment was at its helghtl saw Ed. Strohecker enter the door at tho betd of the steps leading up from tho pavumeut He cart a hasty glance around,'and then stooped, his right hand in bis coat pocket, and started toward the party at the Iftblc. When perhaps within three feet of Mr. Jem- i.-ton, Htrohecker drew bis pistol, pointed it at the unsuspecting gentleman and kagan to flre # Mr. Jemison instantly drew hiu pistol and returned the lire. I am not certain, but I thiuk four shots all that were fired. “Mr. Jemison. who had risen from his chair, fell into mv arms and said. “ ‘Willie, I am dead.' *‘8omebody remarked, ‘Well, if you arc dead, y have got your man.’ “Mr. Jemisou replied, ‘Yes, I believe I have; but I am killed.' “I turned my eyes toward Strokecker. He had dropped his pistol and waa staggering back against the front windows. Suddenly he fell to the floor, upon his knees, face downward. “When strohecker entered the room ho did not r •eak. According to my remembrance, Mr. Jemison •iso did not speak." AFTEB TUB SHOOTING. Mr. Alexander Proudflt, who was one of the party at the tablo. gave an account of the tragedy substan tially like that of Mr. Sparks. He said that It was a miracle that others were not struck by the flying bullets. The party at the table scattered in every direction, but soon regained their presence of mind and set to work to be of assistance to the two des perately wounded men. It was teen at a glance that Strohecker was rapid ly dying. In perhaps twenty minutes after falling to the floor, he died. A pillow was placed under his bead, a handkerchief tied about hi* jaws, his eyes closed, aud his bands crossed upon his breast. As soon as practicable, Mr. Jemison was removed from the chair in which ho had been placed by Mr. Sparks, and was laid ujx>n a table in one of the eat ing stalls on the right hand side of the room. Mes sengers were sent for physicians. Dm. Mettaner, 'Williams, Htevena and Moore responded, and after- -wants others came. As well as could be done, an examination of Mr. Jemison's wounds was made. It was discovered that he had been shot in the right aide, two balla having entered. The wounds were low down, near the waist. After the examination. Mr. Jemison was placed npen a couch improvised upon the floor, and all steps possible were taken to save hla life. The physicians were .all of the opinion that the wounds were dangerous, and that they would probably end fatally. cans or tub tbaobdt. Before the reporter left the room Mr. Jemison was questioned as to the cause of the attack upon him. He said that on Wednesday night Strohecker asked him for a loan of money. Mr. Jemison re fused, and Strohecker became enraged. Mr. Jem!- j* n said that he knew of no other cause for the at- ictfc. About five minutes before the tragedy Mr. Henry fltrohecker, Ed Struhecker'a brother, left the rea lm rant and started home. As he wut out of the door at the bottom of the stops he saw hla brother in conversation with a man whom he did not rec ognise. He heard the man say to Ed Strohecker: “He’s up stairs; go up and do your work." It appears that others also saw the man, and re cognised him as being sprinter, named McDonald. ' The police immediately began a search for McDon ald, out up to the time that this issue of the Tele- oeaph went to preae they had not found him. It waa learned, however, that soon after the shooting McDonald entered the composing-room of the Tblbobapm and said that he had had something to do with the tragedy. Uewasthoagbt to be joking, mad no attention waa paid to him. lie remained w tho composing-room a few minutes and diasp ora eb particrla as. Mr. Henry Benner narrowly missed being kiTed by a bullet from Mr. Jemison's pistol. He walked across the room Just as the shooting began, aud one of the bullets from Mr. Jennlson's pistol sited toward him. barely missing his aide, and buried itself in the wall just behind the oyster counter, which stands between the bar and the eating stall. Mr. J. II. Bonner woe not present when the trag edy occurred. He waa at the circus, aud did not hear of the matter unttl perhaps au hour after It took place. Immediately after the shooting, the restaurant door m as closed, so as to keep out the crowd which quickly collected. None but physicians and re porters were admitted, excepting, of course, the relatives of the principals in the tragedy. Mr. Jemison is well-known all over Georgia. Strohecker was a member of a family which baa long held a high place in this city. At the hour of going to press, Mr. Jemison, who wss still in the restaurant, was thought to be some what stronger. Htrohecker'* body had not been re moved from the place where he fell. latkb information. At 12 o'clock the reporter met Mr. J. J. Clay, and obtained from him full information as to the cause of the tragedy. Wedneiday night at 13 o’clock. Mr.Clay, Mr. Jem- Ison and Mr. ftun Barron, of Jones county, aud other gentlemen, went to the Commercial Hotel to get some oysters. As they cutcred. they saw Stro hecker sitting in a chair in the office. The party did not succeed In getting thsoyitere they wanted, and determined to go Into the Kcnnesaw restaur ant Before doing so, however. Mr. Jemison in vited the party to drink. The invitation waa ac cepted aud the party went up to the bar. drank and then started out. Mr. Jemison was in the rear, he having stopped to pay for the drinks, Wheu he started out Htrohecker stopped him. The others went on and entered the Kenuesaw. In a tew minutes Mr. Jemison walked In hurried ly. and took a position near the incloeure, in which meats are kept Almost immediately after Stro- hacker entered. He grabbed a large carving knife from the counter, raised it in the air, and cursing Mr. Jamison, started toward him. Mr. Clay sprang out and caught Htrohecker's anu. ••What are you going to do V he asked. *Tm going to kill that — scoundrel !** ax- claimed Strohecker. struggling to free himself. A mr FREVKXTEI*. Mr. Barron went to Mr. Clay’s assistance, and caught Htrohecker by the left arm. Mr. Jemison. with pistol in baud, said: ••Get out of the way. Clay; 1 don’t want to hit you. Turn him loose and let him come on. Mr. Clay and Mr. Barron refused to release Strohecker. and Mr. Clay told Mr. Jemison not to shoot, that he would take Htrohecker oat. Mr. Clay then wrenched the knife from Htrohecker, who con tinued to struggle and curse Mr. Jemison. Finally, Mr. Clay and Mr. Barron succeeded in getting Stro- hacker out upon the pavement. He was told to go away, and not to make another attempt to renew the difficulty. Htrohecker quieted down, and finding that he had lost his hat. asked Mr. Clay to get it for him. This Mr. Clay did. When he handed the hat to Htro hecker, the latter said: ••Clay, l’U kill the scoundrel, you mark tnjr words." Htrohecker then walked away. Yasterdy.Mr. Jemiton met Mr. Clay, and told him why it was that Htohecker made the attack in the which they sustained to remember fnlly all that took place. Mr. Dolph Powell said to a reporter yesterday morning; "Your account of the Stroheckor-Jemlson tragedy _ i substantially correct I noticed but two mistakes. After he was shot Htrohecker did not drop his pistol and fall to the floor. Ho staggered around behind me. near the front windows, clutching bis pistol with both h tnda. He seemed to be trying to lire at Mr. Jetulaon as Mr. Sparks was conducting him to a chair. I seized the pistol by the barrel, and threw the muzzle up. Stroheeker relaxed bis hold upon the weapon, and I took It from him and hand ed it a) Mr. Proudflt The statement that Stro hecker did not speak after ho was shot was also a mistake. When I took his pistol from him, ho staggered back, placed both hands upon his right side, and said: •• ‘He has killed me.’ •‘He then fell to tho floor upon his knees, face downward, as the Telkobapu descrilied. One of the gentlemen in the restaurant caught hold of him and placed him upon his hack, in order to render his position as comfortablo as possible.” “Do you remember anything else that occurred which waa not reported?" ADDITIONAL PARTICULAR*. “I remember one thing which seems to havo es caped notice. Sometime before Strohecker entered the restaurant, Mr. Jemison called to him a small black terrier dog belonging to J. H. Benner, aud placed the animal in bis lap. He fondled the dog all the time he and 1 sere talking. When Stro hecker tired at him. the dog was still in his lap. The bullet which entered Mr. Jemison’s side struck the dog’s hind leg. splitting It open perhaps three inches in length.” At 12 o’clock upon the night of tho shoot ing. Mr. A. L. Wood, who hhrouded Htrohecker’* body, removed it to tho re sidence of the young man’s mother. Mrs. E. L. Stro hecker, on Spring street. When the body was car ried into the house, Mrs. Strohecker met it at the door. She was self-possessed ami silent. After the body was laid out, Mrs. Strohecker asked to see her son’s face. The covering was drawn aside, she gazed upon the dead face a moment, stooped down and kissed the cold lips, aud theu walked out of the room. Mr. Jemison remained in the restaurant until nearly midnight. He was theu carried into Mr. J. II. Benner’s private room, where ho was undressed and rendered as comfortable as his condition would permit. Tho physicians made another examination, and found that it would not be safe to prolsi for the bullet They administered opiates, and iu the course of au hour, Mr. Jemisou rallied. Ho talked rationally and freely. He asked if Strohecker was dead, and was told that he was. During the night, ths wounded man appeared continually to gain strength, and hi* friends gradually overcame their anxiety as to tho result of his wound. M’DONALD CAPTURED. Shortly after midnight, police officers Moseley and Bennett Jones succeeded in arresting McDonald. They searched for him in all quarter* of the busi ness portion of the city, finally overtaking him in Yannucki’s bar-room ijs Sawdust Alley, They carried tbetr prisoner to the city prison, where he was locked up. He was considerably under the influence of Uquor. As to McDonald’s part in the tragedy, the follow ing was learned yesterday: Mr. II. F. Strohecker confirmed his statement of the night previous to the effect that he heard Mc Donald say to Ed. Strohocker: “He la up stairs; go up and do your work." Mr. 8tronecker said, also, that while ho was in 8 restaurant he aaw McDonald enter and walk up the bar. At tbe time Mr. Jemison was standing the bar talking with Mr. Henry Benner. Mr. Strohecker could not distinctly hear what passed after McDonald went to the bar, but he heard enough to lead him to suppose that a quarrel waa in progress. When McDonald left the bar and walked out of the restaurant Mr. Htrohecker followed, thinking that a row waa about to occur, and not wishing to witness it. It was as be stepped out upon tbe pavement that be heard McDonald re mark to Ed. Htrohecker. A negro boy. employed as a porter in the law of fice of Bacon k Rutherford, was standing in front of the steps leading up to the restaurant, just be fore the shooting occurred. He observed McDon ald and Htrohecker talking with other, and heard the former aay: m’domald’h connection with thb shooting. •Here is a pistol; now go up and do your work. 1 When McDonald entered the composing room in the Tkleobaph building, after tbe shooting, he A GREAT CALAMITY, The First Baptist Church Destroyed by Fire—Tho Particulars. . As wus intimated in yesterday’s issue of the Tel egraph. the fire In tbe Armstrong residence ou Washington avenue Thursday night gained such headway that it was impossible to save the First Baptist Church. The space separating the residence and the church was very narrow, scarcely more than ten feet. The lire in the residence burned with great fury, aud the lack of water rendered all attempts to subdue tbe flames abortive. Tho wood work on tho rear end of the church smouldered for perhaps thirty minutes, and then ignited. The firemen were una ble to reach it with tho small stream* of water which flowed feebly from their hose. The flames ate their way through tbe wood work, consumed the sssh in tho rear window's, crept under the roof of the side projection, and then burst through the top of the doomed building. Tbe roof of the church was covered with slate. Underneath, by the suggestion of the architect heavy felt satur ated with tar, had been placed for tbe slate's pro tection. This was just the kind of fuel to add in- creaked fury to the flames. After they seized upon the felt it is not probable that the building could have been saved, even had there been an abund ance of water. The firemen fought nobly, contend ing against terrible odds in the way of an insuffi cient supply of water and disabled machinery. No. 4 did especially good service. Her engine arrived some time after that of No. 1, but it was gotten iu readiness and worked an hour and a half before No. l’s began to be of service. the rear of the Fin*. When it was ascertained that it was impossible to save the church, the firemen turned their attention to tho neighboring residences. With hose aud buckets they labored long and earnestly. The sparks from the burning church flew towards the southeast in countless numbers. Almost every second great pieces of flaming felt, or bnruing splinters of wood, soared high iu the air and then drooped like showers from a volcano upon the “When 1 started out of the Commercial Hotel, •aid Mr. Jemison, “Htrohecker stopped me and •aid: •You don’t seam to know me.

In reply, he said: “Yon may laugh, but there has been a shooting acrane. and 1 ■ hand in it” It waa learned that McDonald and Htrohecker did go abont tho city searching for Mr. Jemison during Thursday and Thursday night. Among other places, they went to the Brilliant Saloon, on Third street and looked into all the eating stalls. But the raort conclusive evidence against Me Donald was given by Mr. Henry Benner. In response to an inquiry mode by a reporter, Mr. Benner said: “About twsnty minutes before the shooting Mr. Jemison was standing at tbe bar talking with mo. I beard the door at the bead of the stop* open, and immediately after McDonald walked behind the screen and etepped up to tho bar. Without speak ing to me. be said to Mr. Jemison: •• *Mr. Jemison. you treated me badly last night You called me a thief, and 1 don’t like it.* ’••Well, my friend,’ Mr. Jemison replied, ‘If called you a thief, 1 am sorry for it 1 take it back, and apologize to >ou for it.’ *• ‘That doesn’t satisfy me.’ ssid McDonald. *' ‘It eatiafles mo,’ Mr. Jemison returned, ’and that le enough. 1 don't wish to have anything more to do with you.'* “Mr. Jemison then turned to me and renewed tbe conversation which McDonald had interrupted.

The night was bitter cold, and tbe streets were deserted. The wind swept its icy fingers arrow tho myriad telephone wires aud the tuneful lullably hilled to sleep the people, the good and the wicked.

But before the Owl can aronid himself sufficiently to shout “come in,'I the door opens and he sees peeping from behind the] half-opened door a girlish face. And it is a pretty face. The eyes are blue and roguetah. the cheeks are ruddy, aud the hair escaping from the jauntiest of hate is crimplr and golden. The Owl is bewil dered and dazed. He rubs bis eyes, pinche* his arm and struggles to make himself tolieve that he is awake, and that the merry laughing vision la a reality. But ahe does not await an invitation to come in. In a twinkling ahe is in the room and seated in the chiefs chair, prying into the huge pile of letters, overturning patent office reports, tumb ling over tbe laid-away-for-reterence exchanges. Jobbing the brush in the paste-pot, runniug the aciasore thkuugb choice clippings, making (taper pellets of poetry cut out for Huudsy and au the time asking questions about how newspapers are made and asking them so rapidly that the Owl aimply stands like one nnder a spell and make* no attempt at reply, lie is busy avking questions of himself.

The Owl silently but I wonderlugly obeys. HIGH LICENSE, Probability of its Adoption in Macon. Opinions on tile Subject. Since the prohibition election in Atlanta, speculations have been Indulged tn os to its ea, /. upon Macon. These speculation* have been fern means confined to citizens of Macon, MM~ of other cities and many of tho uewspape State have made surmises on the subject. Determined to obtain a reasonably knowledge of the state of feeling in Maco- hItittlou to its various phases, a Teleuiupu i norter set to work tho day after the election Ianta to secure expressions of opinion fro m ; sentatives of sll classes. The result of tho tor’s investigations plainly indicate* that it majoi of the people of Macou favor high license. The chief executive power and tho luw-i power of Macon consist of tho mayor und aldermen. The complexion of these two ] as far as relates to daily occupations of husii as follows: Mayor 8. B. Price, wholesale grocery me Alderman J. D. Hudgins wholesale liquor dealer; ] Alderman F. S. Johnson,hardware merchant; Alder^ man W. it. Cox, wholesale liquor dealer; Aldenuau M. Nussbaum, wholesale dry goods merchant; Al derman O. C. Conner, insurance agent; Alderman T. J. Ware, retiU grocery merchant aud retail liquor dealer; Alderman Alexander Proudflt, lawyer; Al derman W. A. Davis, cotton warehouseman; Aider- man W. B. Chapman, restaurant keeper and retail liquor dealer; Alderman M. O’Hara, retail grocery merchant and retail liquor dealor; Alderman J. a. McCrary, physician; Alderman R. W. smith, hard ware merchant. how the aldermen feel. It will be ol>servod that five of the twelve aider- men are Uquor dealers. These are all opposed to prohibition in auy form. Last week some of them favored high license, hut since Monday they have uU opjMtsed it. They claim Alderman Nussbaum as their ally. Among the aldermen, therefore, tho op ponents of higu liceme are Aldermen Hudgins, Cox, Ware, Chapman, O’Hara and Nussbaum. The remaining aldermen have all expressed thorn- selves iu favor of high license. Aldertnau McCrary is tho only alts..lute prohibitionist in the board, but he will vdto for high license. Tho advocate* of high license, therefore, are Aldermen Johnson, Conner, Proudflt, Davis and McCrary. The aldermen are tied. Under this state of affairs, Mayor Prico’s position is vested with unusual interest. “How does tho mayor staudf ’ This question is hoard hundreds of times Jn Ma con every day. Mayor Price is in favor of high license. He ho* so expressed himself, aud it is known that lie Ik working to bring about high license next year. It there be no changes ia the board ot aldermen, then, as far as they are concerned, high license will f irevail next year. As to the probability of changes, t may be said that the opponents of high license declare that those aldcrucu who voto for it will never nerve as city fathers again. They claim ta have a majority of the voters in the city uuder their contraband say that they will defeat any candiduto for alderman who favors high license. Q HOW THE LIQUOR DEALERS FEEL. Immediately after the election in Atlanta nearly all of the large dealers in liquor in Macon favored high license. They declared that they felt the necessity wf closing up the cheap bar-rooms and said that they believed tho proper way to accomplish that object was by high license. A number of them jaid, also, that high license in Macon aud absolute prohibition in Atlanta would afford au opportunity of deciding which was the more drs.rable. They urged, besides, that high license would probably prevent a prohibition election in Macon, thus ob viating the bitterness and divisions attendant upon su -li occasions. Ou Monday a charge had taken place. The liquor dealers, with possibly a few exceptions, opposed high license. Their reason for their change of oplulou was expressed yestenly by a leading whole sale dealer. “In Atlanta," be raid, “the prohibitionists de clared that if the city council would give them high license they would t»e satirflod. 1 he council grant ed their request, and tbe llceuse was nied at Whai was the result? Tho strength of the oppon ents of prohibition was broken, and the prohibi tionist*, ignoring their promise to be satisfied with high license, forced an election and the liquor dealers were defeated. “Xu Macon there are 102 barroom*. Each has an owner who may be considered a captain, and each has a squad of supporters. The two together form THE ANTf-*TV>«nimON ARMY.

He glanced at the enter* chair and it was empty. The pile of letters in the desk were undisturbed the poetry for Sunday was intact and the exchanges bad not been troubled. The vision had flown. “Yon look as though you have been taking a nap,” ■aid tbe foreman. “Ye*,” returned the Owl, “and I waa dreaming Now. high license In Macon wHl close all tho bar rooms save perhaps ten. Those whom high license force* to close up their barrooms will Immediately become blatant prohibitionists, upon the ground that if they cannot sell liquor, nobody else shall. High license will not only ofose a large majority of the barrooms, but it will make prohibitionists of their owners and break up their squads of support ers. What then? Why, tha prohibitionists will do as they did in Atlanta: they will force on election, and all the barrooms will be cloeod." “But suppoee,” said ths reporter, “that the prohi- 'I bitionlst* should guarantee that they will not force an election, if th* the city adopt* high license?” “What 1s their guarantee worth? A few might stand by it, bnt. obtaining one concession? the majority will soon demand another and a greater one. The only thing for the liquor dealers to do is to fight prohibition, whether disguised as high license Dr not.” Tbe statements foregoing are a fair indication of the feeling of the liquor dealers. They are, as a rule, opposed to high license, and will bring aU their influence to bear upon the council to prevent its adoption. It is known that they have already held consultations on tho subject, and that their leaders have Issued instructions os to tbe course to be pursued. uow the raowiainoNisT* feel. Many of the prohibitionists favor high license. Many of them oppose it Yesterday the reporter met Mr. W. Q. Solomon, who te well known as a representative prohibition ist “Mr. Solomon," it was said, “H la rumored that you are cireulatlng a petition requesting the city council to give Macon high license.” “Well. 1 have been willing to meet tbe anti-pro- bibiUnnUt* half way, and have ao expressed my self. I read the editorials in the Telegsafu on the subject of high license with great Interest I like the plan suggested os a compromise. 1 am willing to see prohibition tried in Atlanta while high license is tried in Macon, in order that it may be deter mined which is the better plan.
