THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1886.-TWELVE PAGES.
THE INSIDE OF ATLANTA.
WHAT HAPPENED IN AND ABOUT
THE CITY YESTERDAY.
McDaniel’* Candidacy—Fatal Accident-
Some Baseball Gossip—The Hack
men and Porters—An Air Line
Collision—Personal.
Atlanta. February 0.—Ever since I wrote that the
friends of Gov. McDaniel had been called upon for
a declaration as to bis status in the coming guber
natorial compaign, there has been no end of Statu
press and local political comnienta on the question
The Governor was undoubtedly much harrassed
to what would be the proper course. It waa never
thought by the better posted that he
would !>e a bona fide candidate. The
opinion waa that he had some positive
strength, and that he would enter the convention
with a bold show of strength that might be mani
fested for Ills Excellency for the United Ststos Sen
ate. It was not expected that] Gov. McDaniel
would say this mneb, but it is believed to be the
true position of the Executive. To-day I am in
formed by one whom I can hut regard as truthful,
and cognizant of affairs, that the Governor has
•aid this to his friends.
”1 recognize your zealous friendship, and I am.
profoundly grateful for it; but 1 cannot but see that
there is a prejudice, grown out of custom, of one’s
being Governor more than twice. Astotheques
tion of constitutionality as to my eligibility, 1 have
no apprehension, for 1 am quite sure there la no bsr
to my eligibility. The objection 1 do sco is that
prejudice against a three-term Governor. This 1
know is vary difficult to combat. Indeed, I feel it
a barrier almost insurmountable. More, I feel it due
the people not to tost their friendship and confidences
on the question. For these reasons, I now thiuk it
twJbt that my friends know I am not a candidate for
tho nomination."
Many of the Oovernoi’s friends think that this is
• bad card for his U. 8. senatorial aspirations.
Others regard the manly deference to the respect o*
public opinion as to rotatlou in office an excellent
•tall” for the Heuate.
A politician, whose "fine Italian hand” has been
felt in several races for the Governorship, tells
that both Mr. llacon and Judge Hiiuinons are mak
ing a mistake about tho talk and houst of submit
ting their candidacy for tlie executive chair to
Bibb County. Hu says tliat tho peoplo of
Georgia are not willing to submit so high
question to the arbitratorship of a few personal
partisans In ono county. It might bo that one or the
other of tho aspirants might have the primary mach
inery la his bauds and that thus the choice of a State
lander a proposition to leave the question to Bibb*
office would be subject totbo chicanery of the po
litical machinery of one county. If either Mr.
Bacon or Judge Simmons thinks their success will
be narrowed to |any one county in the Stato he
makes an ogregtou* mistake,
il H significant tbat neither the Comptroller-
^General nor the Treasurer, who are both candidates
for ro-electlon, has announced any preference for
the candidates for tho Governorship.
Bo far as the Governor's strength may be cast for
rival candidates. It is absolutely true that several
of his most ardent and Influential supporters have
expressed themselves, In writing, as favoring next
to Henry I). McDaniel Hon. John S. Davidson, of
Augusta. Georgia, who was president pro tcm. of
the last State Henate. Mr. Davidaou is Grand Mas
ter Mason of Georgia, and while tho Masnuv are
not a political organization, Mr. Davidson's posi
tion gWes him a wide and Influential acquaintance
over tho State.
Two Kpldemlcs.
Atlanta, March 6.—'There is an epidemic of
meningitis at Fulton jail. The jail doctor to-day
notified District Attorney J. 11. Hill that there had
been two deaths in the jail this week of federal
prisoners from meningitis—Thomas Hancock and
Columbus Cockburn. He also states that there are
five prisoner* lying ill with the same disease.
The doctor recommends thst the prisoners be
sent to their homes. When Mr. Hill received the
doctor's notice, he called upon Judge McCay, who
issued an order remanding the Federal prisoners to
Cobb, Bartow and DeKalb county jails. The five
sick remained at the jail, although it is thought
that two will be removed to-night to their homes
on ball. The doctor attributes the epidemic to
steam heat, which is so unusual to moonshiners.
Their is also an epidemic of measles in Atlanta.
In South Atlanta there are very many cases of
measles among the childreu. So far there have
been no fatal cases, but the psojde In that section
ich alarmed.
THE TOWNS AROUND US.
The Libel Malt.
Atlanta, March 8.—In tho Rhodes-Burnett carc
In ths CUy Court this mornlog tho evidence of
•bout • dozen good citizens waa lntoduced to
tala the character of Mr. Rhodes.
The argument waa begun about 10 o’clock by
Jadge W. F. Wright, who opened for the defense.
The court room Is packet, three-fourths of the au
dience being negroes. Including Bishop Turner,
who has shown a profound interoat in the case all
•long.
Argument in the Burnett-Rhodes libel suit In the
City Court was resumed this afternoon. Solicitor
Howell Glenn grasped the evidence in • strong
manner and made a capital argument against tho
accused. 11a was followed by Mr. Jamea O’Neil,
who made a creditable speech of thirty minutes for
the prisoner.
Judge Vau Epps then made his charge, which
consumed twenty-five minutes In the delivery. It
was masterly.
Judge Wright said: “It was the ablwl charge
ever heard lu a court aouso In Georgia. There Is
not a brainier judge on the bench in the State.”
Solicitor Glenn said: “U could not have beeu
aurpamd."
. AMlallordhAWaP-M**^* ”Jt was the clearest
fend ablest charge I ever beard.”
The Jury passed QUt within five minutes
filed In, and Foreman Grubles handed the verdict
to Solicitor Glenn. He read: “We, the jury, ttud
the defendant not guilty."
-The verdict was received with anpDr.se. A score
r of people, among them many whites rushed up to
Burnett and congratulated him. After the verdict
1 moved [among some of the best cttlxeus who
liave closely watched the trDl from beginning to
end. They pronounced the verdict Just. Indeed
I found no one in the great croud, white or black.
wkQ did not think the verdict a righteous one.
Ths jury wai composed of five genuine Southern
men, and their finding gives the lie to the Northern
fanatics who afllrtn that the negro cannot get jus
tice in the South. Under the evidonce lu the
ft would have been Impossible for tho jury to find
otherwise.
The alleged libelous article published by Burnett
In the Atlanta Weekly Defiance was to the effect
that A. G. Rhoden, the insteluientplan-furntture-
dealer had subscribed |33») to the -Young Men’i
Christian Association, and the editor supposed that
ba bad done so in order to ease his conscious for
robbing pour negroes.
The Armstrong Verdict,
Atlanta, March 5.—Bishop Beckwith to-day ren
dared his decision in the case of Rev. J. G. Arm
strong. rector of Ht. l’hilllp'e chur:b, charged with
immoral conduit In Cincinnati. It ratified the find-
tag of the court and suspend* him Lou the
pulpit for five years.
An Air Line Collision.
Atlanta, March 6.—Two sections of the freight
train collided at l uVlot-k Dtt night near the
mile f>ost on tho Atlanta and Charlotte Air Liue
railroad. The first section ran over a calf, and
halt was called to clear the track of the carcass. It
being a heavy grade, the strain caused a coupling
link to |,ive way as It started to resume its progress.
The engine moved off leaving the balance of the
can standing stllL The second section ran Into
the cab, wrecking the cab, and damaging its own
engine. Engineer W. D. Mayfield jumped off and
escaped serious injury. The fireman and Con
ductor Lee were slightly braised. The third car
from the cab of the first section was not hurt. The
track was cleared of the wreck and trains an run
ning regularly.
A Fatal Accident.
Atlanta, March 6.—At the extreme west end of
Elliot street about midnight a young white man
named Edward George was accidentally shot by cce
of the hoarders, a young Frenchman, whose
name can nut be ascertained at this
boor, the patrolman having forgotten
Tbe two young men wen examining a thirty-eight
calibre fistol when U went oft toe charge entering
young George's abdomen. He cannot Uva till mom
tag. The mother and sisters ot the wounded man
tan the young man off, saying that when the father
of young George came In and found bis son shot
Ba would kin him.
The Mountain Wonder's Feat,
Atlanta, March 6.—Alf Prater walked ten miles
to-night at Shield's circus in ono hour and six min
ute*. easily beating O'Hara, the professional, a mile
and three Dp*. It was a ten mile go-as-you-please
for a hundred dollars a side and a percentage
of the gate money. The tent was crowded. Prater’i
share of the rcceipta are about two hundred dol
lars.
Tlie Menlugitl* Kpldcmle.
Atlanta, March 7.— About seventy prisoners
ero seut off last night from Fulton jail on account
of the meningitis epidemic th*re. There are two
there yet who are sick, and about twenty who will
be sent to Decatur jail to-morrow.
FROM MACON TO QUITMAN.
Tlio Covington ami Macon Hull mail exten
sion Southward to fjultnran.
Editoe TKUtonArn: We of Brooks county, are
actively engaged suekiug to secure the location of
tlie Covington and Macon's roadbed in its southern
to Quitman, our county town. W«
earnestly desire direct railroad connection with
Macon. We know and fully appreciate it* advan
tages to ns. We llkewiho know its untold value
to Bacon. Macon’s merchants, bet-auso of
the many elbows made in reaching us and Florida,
utmost wholly excluded. The Covington and
Macon railroad, extending southward anil making
comifction* with railroad* of Southern Georgia and
Florida, opens a doorway for Macon into U every
citadel of this large domain. No city ever had a
grander opportunity to extend her trade than Ma
in In the extenuou of tho Covington and Macon
»ad. The road in pausing south of Macon goes
through tliat princely county, Houston, and old
Dooly, with her fertile land and magnificent pine
timber, and then through Irwin county, with her
finely timbered lands, ready to yield untojd wealth
in uaval stores aud yellow pine lumber. The fer
tility of bur Dud* is far beyond all estimate* here
tofore made. And then through Berrien county,
alike good iu naval stoio* and lumber, and through
her roost fertile Duds, and through Colquitt county,
with her primeval forests aud fertile lands, hereto
fore untouched by a railroad, and then through
grand old Brooks county, with «er forests and rich
and fertilo lands, already fur ahead of her sister
counties iu agriculture nml wealth, ami going
still southward, through the most fertile lands of
them before the ax men had felled the native forest
trees. In beautiful Rose Hill sleep my fondest,
dearest loved. In a recent visit, barking upon her
vast growth uud beautiful buildings, 1 wits forced
to exclaim what changes time hail made. In her
prosperity and growth we rejoice, and w*> desire to
seo lior prosper more and still more. The Coving
ton and Macou road, now belugconstructed, will add
largely to her pro*i<erity.
Its extension southward will add untold more ad-
vantge* and prosperity. Col. Lane, of precious
memory, projected a line of road southward. If he
hail succeeded, as he doubtless would hail not un
foreseen financial disturbance* in the commcrcisl
world prevented', would have thereby constructed
an everlasting monument to hie memory. These
cloud* have broken away, and now the Covington
ami Macon road is couteuiplaliug southern connec
tions. If tlie Covington and Macou will follow the
liue of counties named in this article, they ran
construct their road with less expense, aud through
tho best landed route of any road now running into
Macou. For these reasons the stock of the Coviug-
ton stid Macon road ought to t>e the t»e*t In the
market. Ita Florida connections will lusure to it
the larger share of fruit, truck and passenger
freights. Besides all this. Mr. Editor, it will open
up to the time-honored Tklkoiui-ii an opeu door
rarely offered for newspaper euterprise.
Tho counties through which its road bed
would be located need tho road: they carestly
desire it. and ought anil doubtless will subscribe
liberally to its capital stock lu land and money.
Now, Mr. Editor, If Macon likewise desires this ex-
tentlon and will also subscribe liberally to tho caj>-
it*! stock, she can have the road and can enter this
new and Inviting field, by far the most promising
ever offered her, aud she will be not ouly Georgia’)
central city, but Georgla.s railroad center.
We are tired of these elliows we necessarily have
to make to reach Macou, and they to reach us, and
want them *o try to remove them by the extension
of the Covington and Macon road, ami they will
not only help us, hut themselves, by Its extension.
Ho we think at least. N. B. “

How Flrrumn Fhlllirlck Crawled Through
Boiling Water to Save 111a Clium.
A Portland (.Nfe.) special snysi To crawl
fltuid tho red-hot rftbrii of ntt engine to the
retioue of a comrade who is being slowly
tortured to death with live coals or boiling
water is an act from which the bravest
might tlinch, nnd yet it is constantly deno
without hesitation by many an humble fire
man or brHkemrn. Indeed, chivalrous
heroism is so frequent among railroad
hands that It is often not considered news
enough for reporting.
Yesterday thero was an Instance of conr-
age as grand and noble as that of any h« ro
who has led a forlorn hope to a poud r-
mine aud a death which was a more com
plete picture of heroic fortitude and resig
nation ihau even the last moments of the
CUtvalMr Bayard. And yet for neither of
these men will there be laurel-leaves or
notes from fame’s trumpet; nothing, per
haps, beyond a atrav paragraph of record
from complete indifference and oblivion.
The snow-plough special on tho Grand
Trunk railroad was thrown from tho track
last night, and the engine turned on its
side, lu jumping off Fireman Martin
struck his nip nnd crushed his abdomen,
falling beneath the derailed locomotive u
conscious, quivering mass, only to he fur
ther toitued by tho escaping steam aud cin
ders. To approach him was like crawling
into tlie mouth of a furnace, but his com
rade, fireman Lewis W. Fhilbrick, did not
hesitate fora moment. He crawled through
a torrent of boiling water and draggt d Martin
to a piece of track away from the engine,
and then fell unconscious by the nde of hi*
dj ing chum. The cold waa so int* use that
the garments froze on both men They
wi re quickly carried to a saloon car and
taken a neighboring Tillage.
Meanwhile Martin was examined and
found to he past possible recovery. Hi*
stoumch was crashed to a jelly, and hi* ag
ony wo* dreadful. He was told that he lntd
hut e. ahoit time to live. *T want to see
mother," he mount-J. Iking answered
tliat this was impossible, as hi* end was so
near, he said: “Tell her I’m not afraid to
die." A little later he said: “I am willing
and anxious to die." His agony was terri-
hle. At hut he begged the doctor to give
him something to take awav his senses.aud
then cut hi* throat and let him die quickly
Hopeh-rti' as the attempt seemed to drew
his wounds, the physicians administered
ether. It took twenty-eight minutes to get
him under its influence. He lived until
11:10 p. m., returning his mind fully to the
last.
The scene at the deathbed was most pa
thetic, Just before he died he said: “Were
any of the boys hurt?" He wraa told not
seriously. He said: “Tell Lon (Fhilbrick)
not to forget me." His last words were the
pitiful entreaty, “Whet* is mother?”
Phiibrick, who U dreadfully scalded and
burnt, will recover.
