12 T1IK MACON WEEKLY TEI/EOEAPH: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21), 1885.-TWELVE RACES. TELKGHAPH BY-PLAY. ON THE RAIL. UNBOUNDED 8UCCES8. Theatrical* In Macon During the War—A llcumrknhle Performance. I see by the paper* that Edmund K. Dalton, with a dramatic company, U playing In the aneJl town* of the State. The mention of Dalton’s name brings up recollection of theatrical* during the late war, over twenty year* ago. At that timo tho South went through many privation*, the people made their shoe* and hate of cloth, substituted chicory and parched meal for coffee, and were deprived of nearly every luxury; but at no time waa it wanting in theatrical amusement*. Richmond waa the dra matic headquarters where the companies were formed and sent South, and It la a matter of truth ful hlatory that the brighteet stare of the American stago remained on this eide of Mason and Dixon's line. ' At no time during the five yearn of the struggle waa Macon without an attraction of some kind, and strange to say. tie theatre was much more liberally patronized, notwithstanding the fact that the people were poorer than now. A slim house waa the result of Inclement weather, and not because of any lack of merit on the part of the attraction. This may aeem slngnW, inasmuch as the male popula- • tion was at the front battling for their country ; but it is somewhat accounted for in the fact that Macon, being a central point, there were more or leaa sol diers on sick leave and in the hospitals; and. again, the boys growing np took the place of their fathers in acting as escorts and protectors of their mothers and sisters. Confederate qioney waa plentiful, and wives and daughters were glad enough for any di version from the horrors of war. 4 Hot Box Induce* Talk, and Some ; and summoned the following Jur* *o bold an in- Dr. Wilbur to Remain Only a Few Lays In the early part of the war the Crisp family held our boards. There are no doubt many living who will remember the genial W. H. Crisp and "our Jea- *io H as she was called, in “Black Eyed Susan." can see Mr. Crisp now in his blue sailor suit give a hitch to bis trousers and say "shiver me timbers I” Rut the Crisp family were never here longer than a week or ao at a time. They worked the circuit which included Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, At lanta and Montgomery. Under the firm name of Dalton k Davis, Edmund R. Dalton and John A. Davie, held a stock company together here nearly all the time. As a matter of conrao, to appear night after night for months at a timo in a city of lees than ten thousand in habitants, a company mnst have extensive repotoire. This Dalton k Davis had. One week they presented Don Caesar d* Kazan,'* another week "La Tour de Neale," and so on with “The Corsican Brothers,” the "Iron Chest,” "Lady of the Lake," “Lady of Lyona,” “Ingomar tho Barbarian,” "Pixxarro,” etc. It woe seldom tliat we were given Shakespeare. Sometimes Richard III waa essayed, but Romeo rarely ever made love to Juliet, although those were the days when Ella 'Wren and Elolse Bridges were fresh and fair on the stage. Dalton k Davis’ company was in all respects a good one. Dalton was possessed of good figure, piercing gray eyes and a voice both strong and mualcal. Davis was much older andnotsog iod an actor, hut there was no b»tter manager in the southern circuit He knew when a piece had its ran, and he knew how to keep up the size of hia audiences. The male members of the company were mostly printers and were employed by J. W. Burke k Co., during the day, ** here were Just as many stage-struck people In those days ar, now, but it was not often that they were given a chance to rise or fall before the foot lights. I remember a young man named Gray. He waa a painter. He had a fine physique, a hand some face and was quite popular with the boys about town because of hla vocal ability, llo was badly stage-struck and applied to Dalton k Davis for a position. They saw at once that he would never make an actor, but they knew a crowded house would greet his debut, and a crowded home meant ducats. Gray was put through a course of training, and John L. Sullivan never warmed up to his work of preparation for a mill with more zea r and interest than did Gray for bis appearance in Macbeth. The house was crowded to suffocation, Ralston Hall nsver held so * many peo- plo. Gray waa a tremble with fear and Dalton k Davis wers happy. Finally tho curtain went up and Gray caught on to his cne. There was a wild yell of greeting, which gave Gray time to recover from his fright. When he began to "chew soap and foam at the month,” the audience arose as one man, and never did Forest or Booth receive such an ovation. For the time being Gray waa the finest actor that over trod the boards, au\ he folt it. But hia star went down the next night. A squad of substitutes, from a recruiting $amp on the suburbs, came in town and attended the tbea tre. They knew nothing of Gray, and whon he had spoken a half dozen lines, they saw at once that he was no actor, and let loose aucb a fusilade of hisses that poor Oray ran to the dressing room, doffed bis toga and was soon out In thg street, swearing ho would never again put foot on *ha stage. I remember on one oocasion, when Richard HI was on the bills, Davis was cast fbr Richmond, but as night grew on he became more and more indis posed. Tbs char ces were fine for a crowded house, and a Richmond must be bad at any cost. While Dalton was fussing and fretting and fuming, George W.Simpson.who was the organizer of ths first origi nal Georgia minstrels, and who waa then a compos itor on Harry Flash's Telegraph and Confederate, approached him and told him that the fit Richmond on the stage was then at work at Burke's printing off**, »nd, in casa Davis did not turn up, his part could be supplied. Dalton was apposMed, and instructed Himpson to get his man in readiness. George W. Simpson waa much more of a genius than the Georgs W. Himpson immortalized by White in the Chicago Tribnne. He was more than . a genius, ho was a wag. When ths orchestra was playing the overture that night, Himpson rushed behind the with a handsomely formed man, whose face was close shaven and who wore % look of seriousness. Dal ton seized him and taking him to the dressing room spn-a<l out Richmond's costume before him, Nimpeon'e man was soon arrayed and soon the cur tain was rung up. Dalton was in good spirits. The play went on nicely enough until the sixth act, w hen Richmond mceta Richard on Boswortb field. In vain did Richard prompt Richmond to speak hi* mt hichni-nd was silent, though bis movements elicited applause. In the fencing scene he proved himself a master of the foil*, and Un-hard dl< d full of admiration for ths new man’s ■kill. Then, through the rest of the act, Richmond was every inch a king—*o far as looks went, but not a word escaped bis lip-. The audience had an idea that something had g> ne wrung, and Dalton waa mystified. When the curtain went down it leaked out that the new Richmond waa a deaf and dumb printer, who was* <11 up in ttakespeerel But the audience never knew that. f<>r the tint time in the history of (fceataf*. the port of Richmond wa* played by a man who never spoke a word in his life. At that time John •Templeton, Alice end Isabel Vane, were in their prime. They paid Macon occasional visit*.

Not the hot box which delays trains and causes pious railroad men to forget their religion, but a box, a car, a coach, or whatever else yon please to call it. built sud equipped for the convenience of travelers. It wan hot because the stove was. The stove was red hot. Tho party was close to the red-hot stove, smok ing fragrant alx-for-a-qusrter cigars, and wondering if Camak would be reached before daylight. ■Know Tom Willingham?” This waa a sort of general inquiry uttered by the lawyer, and intended for anybody or nobody. Anybody failed to reply,-and nobody stirred. The lawyer bored a holo through his cigar, per haps to aid its drawing power, tried it again, re moved it from his lips with s look of disgust, and laid it upon the top of ths red-hot stove, intending, no doubt, to see If it would explode before it would burn. "Tom Willingham it a Macon lawyer." This waa said by the lawyer, after eatUfving himself that the cigar would neither explode r burn. Tom Willingham went down to Toomaboro, not long ago, to look after a law caae for one of his cli ents. Orest place for cyclones, Toomaboro. Tom Willingham spent tho night there.

Perryman, colored, is In the dungeon at the city prison, charged with having set his bar-Toom on fire Saturday night Perrj man's bar-room was brought into promin ence twice Saturday night, first by the killing of Kppy Goodman, and then by tbe mysterious fire which was d."covered at 12:20 o’clock. The cirrnmataucc* attending the fire were of such suspicious character that the police at once set to work to arrest all parties employed in the bar-room, and all others whom there were reasons to suspect The following wero apprehended: C. Perryman. Merit Dmard, the bar-keeper, Al bert Beevcr. Jeff Reeves. Marshall Tippln. James Perryman, and Tom Holt, alias Harvey Holt, all colored. As stated in yesterday's Issue, police officer Mc- Cafferty discovered the fire. At ten minutes to 12 holes!' In two minutes, every man, woman and child in the hotel was yelling ‘cyclone’ like mad. Just about the time everybody was getting ready to die. Green stalked to the door of bis room and yelled: •• *Go to bed, you fools; can’t you ten the differ ence between the nightmare and a cyclone Y •That ended the scare." The brakesman opened the stove door and poured in a bushel of coal. •Too much.” The brakesman looked at the tramp, who ap peared incapable of speech, and remarked: ■g Ubnf np; the railroad pays for this co&L” •Rsllmsds in the South are improving." marked the railroad manager, fixing his eye upon “ i greasy face of the brakesman. Travel is slow, but the railroads are improving, nevertheless.” ••C’rect,” said the brakesman. “They’re im provin', but they ain't np to snuff on speed. Ever be’n to Hpain?” ••My travels have never extended thst far," re plied the railroad manager. "I’ve been to Atlanta, and I’ve seen the Kimball House .’’ •Shucks!” exclaimed the brakesman, with limit- .. s contempt “You wan’ter go to Hpain. They runs trains up to hull gull in that country.

Speed? You go to Hpain if you wan’ ter see speed.” The newspaper man opened a window and threw the stamp of his cigar out “Ever been to Suuday-school?" he said, address ing the brakesman. ••Sunday-school be blowed,” answered that worthy. “What's Sunday-school got to do with me?’’ . "Oh, nothing in particular. I thought perhaps, yon might have made the acquaintance of Ananias and Sapphlra there.’’ with the forefinger of his right hand to foci its heat. The newspaper man looked interested, “I’ve known a few in my day,** be said. "Well, sir, perhaps, then, you can sympathize with me,” the commercial tourist said, removing his finger, atill cold, from the stove. "I’ve got a wife. Hhe’s the most remarkable woman in seven Htatea. Hhe’s some on s trade, and don’t yon forget it When I go home after a trip, ah ton lubes me with long drawn-out accounts of trades she’s made during my absence, By Jove, sir, she's such a financier that she ought to be Bee- rotary of the United States treasury. Last week she bought a hen. I'll bet my head against a tooth pick that no other woman in the world could have made the trade she made when she bought that hen. A nigger carried the fowl.to my bouse just after breakfast. Uo told my wife tfyit he'd take a dollar aud a half for it.

Tbe train slowed up and stopped, and the party went out upon the platform, each man wondering *what the story was tns tramp had tried to tell. SHOT DEAD. Ten minutes after, tbe officer heard voices In the bar-room, aud almost immediately two men came out, locking the door after them. As they walked away one said to the other: “Hho’ll bo sure to go this time." At 12:30 o'clock, the officer heard a man, who was standing near the bar-room, cry fire. •.Where Is it?*' inquired the officer. “In Perryman’s bar-room," replied the man*, “don't you see it coming out under the door and over the top?” The officer at once gave tho alarm, to which tne firemen promptly responded. No. 5 got the first stream on, and the fire waa quickly extin guished. Perryman's bar-room contained three divisions. In front esc tho bar, immediately in its rear was the billiard room, and back «.f that was a small erably injured by tbe best and water. The gam bling room was uninjured. Against the partition which separated the bar and the billiard-room stood a beer-oooler. Under tbe charred remains, yesterday morning, the police found a large hole burnt in the floor, and near it an armful of light wood, part of which was in a good state of preservation. This light wood was saturated with kerosene oil. Under the becr-oooler the fire evidently had its origin. Perryman was arrested »n the alloy near the bar room at 0 o'clock yesterday morning. He profess ed not to hsve heard the alarm bells, and said that he knew nothing of the fire until informed of it by a negro man shortly after 4 o'clock. Aa soon as possible, the police went to Perry man's houso and searched it. A satchel containing severalf llllard balls and some beer checks, and a large box securely nailed up, were found. Perry man’s wife told the police that far the first time In seven yean, he failed to sleep at home Saturday night After the satchel and box wero removed to the city hall, the box was opened. It waa found to be filled with boxes of cigars and other at tides us ually sold in bars. Tom Holt alias Harvey Holt, told the police that Perryman reque -ted him to take the box home Sat urday. Holt refused, upon the ground that the box waa too heavy; but he agreed to carry several light er articles to Perryman’s house. On his return, he met a Largo black negro, who waa carrying " box. The negro asked Holt’s aid, but the latter fused it ;Tyman had insurance on his stock, to the LI tent of six hundred dollars, with a company repre- aented by Mr. Georgo B. After oeing locked np lu the cl _ officer saked Perryman what Ifu had done with his billiard balls. “1 put them in a box under the counter in the bar Just before 1 locked up for tbe night" he re- plied. “It i.«% strange that they were not found there," said thi officer. You didn't look close enough," Perryman re plied. "I put them there, and there you’ll find them.” At the time of this conversation. Perryman did not know that the police bad the satchel containing the balls. To a Tklcobaph reporter Perryman said that he closed his bar-room at 11:30 o’clbck, leaving nobody tide. He left a lamp burning, intending to return the bar-room to get one hundred and uighty dol lars in greenbacks, which he hsd placed in a cigar box under the counter. This money, he said, was burned. When he left the bar-room, he went to a friend's nouse near the Wesleyan Female College. He remained there, talking, until informed of the fire at 4 o’clock yesterday morning. Aa to the cause of hla arrest, he prufe**ed to know nothing. During a second visit to ths scene of the (ire. the reporter discovered a largo quantity of matche-i scattered over the floor of tne billiard-room. Another link lu .his atcrj' waa discovered yester day afternoon. A week ago Lieutenant C M. Wood, of the police force, fixed upon yesterday morning at 2 o'clock as the hour for s raid npon lVrrymau’M bar-room, in lest of the negro gamblers who ulghtly assembled ere. A person, who is known to Lieutenant Wood, rbeard him discussing thb plans for the raid aud wcut to Perryman and told him what to expect. In consequent** of the discovery thst Perryman had been informed of the Intended raid, the theory is that he determined to escape it by Ing his bar-room, and, at the same time, obtain his insurance. Warrants for Perryman and other suspected par ties will be sworn out to-day. I Longer.

The best prices of the day, however, were made in the morning, and brokers who were conspicuous in carrying the advance of Saturday forward were active sellers of stock to-day. The result was a slowly drooping market from shortly after 10 o'clock until late in the afternoon, the decline being unaccompanied by any material reastion. Tbe last hour of the market was quite dull aud comparatively firm for most of the list, with some feverishness, however, in Lack awanna. and tbe market closed steady at irregular changes, compared with Saturday, but generally small fractions to nearly 2 per cent,* lower. Declines of over 2)* per cent, are confined to a half dozen stocks, while Nome of tbe Ichs active of tbe so-called active list show fractional gains, Including Texas Pacific and MisHouri Pacific. A conspicuous feature of the market was tbe strength developed in Lake Shore. It closed with a net ad vance of over Saturday’s close, the only active stock that Nhows a gain. The trading in th«* stock and St Paul amounted to 35 per cent, of the day’s total business, ht, Paul is down, and Lsck&waniia 1Other active stocks show a fractional decline. Bales, 374,000 shares.

Husband, Through Mistake, Poisons llltusclf in His Wife's BeatU-CUambet, Lynchburg (Va.) News. Yesterday the denth was poblmhed of Mrs. Thomas Wade, an estimable Christian woman, who resided with her husband and large family on Daniel’s Hill, near the cor ner of G and Withers street. Her burial waa announced for yesterday, but before the preparations for the funeral had more than been completed yesterday morniog the family was visited with another dire calam- ity in the accidental poisoning of Mr. Thomas J. Wade, the bereft husband. It seems that Mr. Wade was in an exceed ingly nervous stAt , arising from the dis tress oee.iKioued by tho death of his wife, and in order to quiet his nerves drank from a bottle what he supposed to be whisky, but what, in reality was carbolic acid. The Tearful blunder was detected instantly, and medical aid was quickly summoned aud everything was done to alleviate the unfor tunate man’s sufferings, but he breathed his last late yesterday evening.’ The scene at the detolate home last night was suffi cient to awaken the sympathy in the hard est heart Both Mr. and Mrs. Wade came to Lynchbnrg from Bedford county. The former was a carpenter by trade and was in the service of the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad Company. The deceased oouple leave several gr*<wn sons and daughters. A Had Case of Poisoning is ibat of -any man or woman afflicted with disease or derangement of the liver, resulting in poisonous accumulations in the blood, scrofulous affections, slck-beadaches, and diseases of the kidneys lungs or heart. These troubles can only be cun a by go ing to the primary cause, and putting the liver in a healthy condition. To accomplish thin n sultspee<V ily aud effectually noth lug has proved itself so effi cacious a* Dr. Pierce's ••Golden Medical Discov ery," which hae never failed to do the work claimed for it, and never will. llovv to Dress the Table. Dining-rooms should be lightod with a chandelier, but to offset this toensed light and softened the shadows on the taces, can dles should be placed on the table. High backed chairs are picturesque: they frame in a person and separate him from the wall. Always he snre i£ knives and forks be come worn to renew their plating. Polished tables are beaatiful, bat require much care, and if used should bo set with dark potterery, gloss and china. The time was when tables were entirely set with white; now we go to the other ex treme and have a cluster of all sorts of col ors mixed together without harmony. Salads ore good decorations. One can not put anything on a table more beautiful than celery. Blue is not a verv good color for nse. It is apt to look cold and spotty with white. Large centre pieces on a table are too os tentatious and are ont of harmony with the horozcntal principle of the table. White rtowors ore appropriate, bat big bunches of varia colored flowers are not.^ It is a good thing to have something beautiful on the table to look at, but o! • jecta should be placed at tbe corners of the table, not in the centre. Art in the table, as elsewhere, is merely common sense. Beautiful glass is made nowadays, but it is poor taste to have red, yellow, blue, green and amber gloss on the table ut tbe same time. Tho colon used should, if possible, be related to the tints of the wall, the car pet and the table doth. Decoration of porcelain should be con ventional. Hereto Roval Dresden plate, patchy, stupid, with half a dozen designs on it that comt $2.50. Here’s a conventional decoration that is admirably suited for din ner service. c. W.
