12 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.

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. A Total Kcllpaa of all other medicines by Dr. IL V.
