12 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY DECEMBER 15, 1885.--TWELVE PAGES. AQUEERCASE In Which a Detective Agency Figure! Some- wliet Conspicuously. Haddock's Station, in Jones county, lies thirteen miles east of Macon, on the Geor gia railroad. It possesses a water tank and three or four stores. Among the honest tillers of the soil in the settlement around is Mr. E. P. Berry. Up to a few months ago Sir. Berry was contented with the life of a farmer, and bis only ambition was to broaden his ucre3 and gaze upon a lowing herd of his own Jerseys. But some time in the early part of last September there dropped down into Hud- dock's a man who gave his name as George Washington Nelson, lie was a poor man, Inlaid, and wanted work for himself anil the w ife who accompanied him. Mr. Berry needed a farm hand, and in a short while Nelson and his wife were duly domiciled on the farm. Nelson proved to be a hard, industrious worker, and Mr. Berry was pleased. Daring the long evenings after the horses wero fed and the chickens had gone to roost, Nelson and his employer sat by the wide mouthed fireplace and talked long and quietly. Nelson told Berry that be was the chief detective for this section of the American and European Secret Service Company, head quarters at Cincinnati, and that the com pany was the strongest organization on ma , earth. By its agency Cleveland was elected President, and during the election over three thousand members of tlio force were at work for him. Many other fabu lous stories were told of the company’s power. Then Nelson drew vivid pic tures of detective life, how criminals were tracked over the world and finally trapped, and how exciting was tho chase. Berry was charmed. Here was "Old Sleuth" right at his door, and before long Nelson had Berry completely dazed. He wrote to tho A. A E. S. S. Co. for particulars and re ceived the information that if he would send $5 as a fee for the commission they would send him his commission and badge. The $5 dollars was sent and in due course of time the company was beard from. A commission, filling up a good sized sheet of heavy paper and ornamented with a seal of gold,told that E. 1’. Berry was a member of the force and would be recognized as such the world over, etc. The absence of any location or name except Berry'B on this document was painfully conspicuous. Accompanying the commission was a small badge with the words, “Detective Associa tion" engraved thereon, and a slip of paper on which was printed rewards for noted absconding bank cashiers and defaulting bookkeepers, murderers, etc., and for whom fabulous rewinds were offered. In a letter printed in blue ink so as to re semble writing was some confidential talk, and a request that a “quorum” of six men in the neighborhood bo organized, each man paying a fee of fivo dollars. If Berry would get up the quorum he would be miul i chief at a salary of $1,500 a year, and on office would be established at Haddock’s. Berry and Nelson went to work to organ ize a quorum. They selected a house for tho otfice and otherwise prepared for the establishment of a detective agency. They selected W. E. Berry, II. IE Patterson and J. W. Hardin, all young farmers, and E. L. Ellison who lives in Macon. Nelson con ducted the correspondence. Last week Patterson and Hardin gave him their fees. Later on W. E. Berry gave him five dollars to send on. It was handed to him in silver and he had it converted into • bill at Uiddlebrook's store. Then he took a witness and dropped the letter into the post-office. This was on Monday oven ing. OnTncsilay morning, before Berry got up, Nelson left the farm. He told his wife he was coming to Macon to have some printing done, but she must tell Berry that lie had gone to Bcottsboro on important business. Nothing was heard of Nelson, and Berry grew suspicious. Yesterday morning a let ter arrived at Haddock's addressed to G.W. Nelson. It was from Cincinnati, and ac cording to an agreement by which Berry could open letters from the agency ad dressed to Nelson, ho opened the letter and found eudosed tho letter sent off on Monday evening. It had been S ened - and across the face of e envelopo was written “opened in the presence of two witnesses. Please return.'’ On adetter-heading of the A. A E, s. 8. Company wua written the informs- Vtion that the letter did not contain the $5, as stated. TkiB was signed by "H. U. Kimball, manager.'' Acting upon this, Mr. Berry concluded to -come to Macon and look up Nelson and demand on explanation. Nelson's wife concluded to come also, and both arrived here last night, the womau going to her sisters, Mrs. Parka, who worka in the factory, and Berry going on a thorough search through the city for his man. Mr. Berry says he will use the wire free ly to-day. He has an idea that the letter mailed at Haddock's on Monday evening never reached Cincinnati, and he will un ravel tiie mystery if possible, lie has the police on the lookout for Nelson. It is not likely that Haddock's Will not contain a detective agency for some time to come. thrown against a stone, which resulted in breaking nis skull. Yesterday morning an inquest was held on Prather s body, and a verdict was found in accordance with the facta here detailed. Prather's relatives wero notified of his death. AN AGED STUDENT.

The Covington and Macon# The president, surveyor sad contractor of the Covington and Macon railroad spent yesterday ex amining the different routes into tho city. The route along the old track of tho Georgia railroad is the favorite, but circumstance* may cause the se lection of another. A proposition has been made by certain citizen* looking to the seloctiou of a route which will bring tho road across the river at the foot of Hecond street. If thla proposition is ac cepted, the depots will be located on this side of the river aud the shops on the other. In the latter event. East Macon will be greatly benefited. Yesterday morning another large crowd of ne- groer assembled about Hollis k Corbett’s office for the purpose of securing work on the new road. They were told that several weeks would be required to perfect the preliminary arrangements, after which employment would bo given to them all. Mr. Machen stated that he would want all tho workmen that could be obtained. It being his purpose to push the road to completion as speedily as possible. In regard to tbe building of a line to Florida, Mr. Machen said that he had no doubt but that bis syn dicate would undertake to build it. under certain conditions. Tbe principal condition wonld be the taking of $900,100 stock in the enterprise by the people living ou the line. For the present, how ever, Mr. Machen declared that the only object which be had in view was the early completion of the Covington and Macon. Mr. Machen is quite a young man, but he appears to be thoroughly acquainted with the business which he has in hand.

A Txlkorai h reporter interviewed them, and obtained the following information concerning the building of tho Covington and Macon railroad: The work will be commenced as soon as the pre liminaries can be arranged. A locating survey of the road must be made, and tho route into tho city must be determined upon. The mayor and city couucil oxamiuod into tho latter matter yesterday afternoon. Tticy did not rnako known th* result of their examination, but will probably do so to-duy. There are twenty-seven applicant* for contracts to do tho excavating upon the road. Of this numj her, seven desire tlio contract for the entire WOtk. Mr. Mscbln has not yet determined what|he will do regarding thla matter, but it is understood he will give the preference to those contractors who have token stock in the road. It to thought that all the preliminaries can be ar ranged so that the work of building tlio road may be commenced not later than the 1st of January. Mr. Mschiu said to the reporter that he had come to Macon to faithfully execute all the promises and contracts made by Col. Idvingstou. He also said that In the construction of the road none but the best material would be used, and that when com pleted, it wonld be the nnest road as to road-bed, rails and general eqnipments, in tbe Houtb. Mr. Mao-kin proposes to make Macon his home.

After crossing the creek near the mill, Vinson found, m tbe road just below an embank ment of considerable height, a light wagon turned upside down. A bone wea standing by, with bis fore feet planted upon tbe bottom of the wagon. Vinson thought tbe poeition of tbe wagon aud horse peculiar, and stopped to investigate.

He went to Brown’s Hotel and sought accommoda tions. but was refused them for a very good reason. He was hilariously drunk. Finding that he could not obtain a room, be told tbe night clerk that he was ready to be treated. The clerk declined to take tbe gentle bint, and the mar shal and his prisoner drifted down to th» Edgerton House. There be bad better luck, lie registered bis name, and told tbs clerk that be wanted a room for himself and bU prisoner. Being told that be could get it. be took hi* prisoner’s arm and stag gered out to see tbs elephant. A TrxaoKarH reporter Inspected the register, and attempted to decipher the drunken marshal's name. It to "Rufus Cruse,” ••Rufus Curse,” or "Rufus Crusoe.” His place of residence was inscribed "Covington, Ga.” Tbe name, like its owner, was too drunk to apeak plainly. This marshal whatever bis name be, to a disgrace to tbs government and ought to be dismissed. His prisoner bad ample opportunity to escape, and. per- nape, did so before day light. tivath of th.
