DEATH OF COLONEL FllOBEL.
A Stan Whose Life Was Spent iu Useful.
nessvA Drier Sketch.
Colonel Iiushrod. W. Frohel, general
manager of the Macon arid Covington rail-
road, died at 9:15 yesterday morning at
Monticello, where -he went about two
weeks ago on business for the Macon ami
Covington. • •
Colonel Frobel.has been with the Macon
and Covington ever since it was organized,
and has been stationed in Macon. IIU
wife and two daughters have remained at
their iiome in Atlanta, the Colonel visit
ing them at regular intervals. About two
weeks ago he was in Atlanta complaining
of feeling unwell, saying that he had been
sick about ten days. He returned, how
ever, to Monticello on business for the
road and was confined to his bed a
day or two ofterwards. Mrs. Frobtl aa.d
her two daughters, who were visiting rela
tives in Milledgeville, were notified of his
illness and repaired at once to his I offside,
where they watched the falling sjark of
life until-yesterday morning, when it was
extinguished.
Colonel Frobel was about 50 years o{
age, and was born in Alexandria.'Va. He
graduated from the military acadi mv at
West Point and was appointed to a place
in the United States navy, where lie served
until thi war came on. He left the United
States navy and entered the Confederate
navy. He was afterwards transferred to
the artillery and engineering corps of the
army, where he served with distinction and
bravery throughout the war.
He was the engineer in charge of con
struction of the pontoon bridges at Savan
nah which were used by the Confederate
army'iti crossing the river when that city
was evacuated, and it was then that he ac
complished a work on engineering that
commanded the admiration of the officers
of bojth ; armies. The troops under Gene
rals Beauregard and Gustavos Smith
completely hemmed in, so it was thought
by Sherman on his famous march to the
sea'.' Back of the troops was the Federal
army;,In front of them was the Savannah
rivhf,'which they could not cross without
captrire. It was the work of Col. Frobel
to donstruct a pontoon bridge of riee boats
covered with straw. On this remarkable
bridge the Confederate troops marched
info South Carolina and escaped without
and sound of the tramping of feet.
’At the end of the war he went to Mil
ledgeville, where he married Miss Mamie
Compton, moving soon after to Marietta.
He went to Congress in 1872, and through
Col. \V. P.fPrice, of Dahlonega, then a
member of the lower house, tried to get an
appropriation to build a canal from the
Mississippi to the Atlant c ocean, propos-
irig to construct the same by connecting
the head waters of the Tennessee and Sa
vannah rivers. He failed to get the nec
essary aid.
He was appointed United Statei engi
neer of the northern district of Georgii
—- afterward end koU the nnsit on for a
long time. He went to Atlanta a'>ont fif
teen years ago and opened an ofli » ns r
civil engineer. In 1881 he conceived the
idea of a canal from the Chattahoochee
river, at some point in North Geoigia, to
'Atlanta, and he interested several of his
fellow-citizens in the movement. The
same year he went with a party to survey
this canal trom Seven Island Ford, near
Belton, on the Chattahoochee river, to
Atlanta. He proposed to l construct
locks from Atlanta, seven miles to the
Chattahoochee so an to afford abundant wa
ter power for innumerable enterprises.
His routo as surveyed was available and
a sufficient fall by easy gradient to reach
Atlanta by a route of seventy-five miles
without making a lock, in the whole
length of the canal. At one time the pros
pects for the construction seemed bright.
The Jennings people wealthy New Yorkers,
who owned handsome property including
gold mines, called "The Glades”, at Seven
Islands Ford, proposed to aid Colonel
Frobel in his undertaking. They also
signified their intention of erecting a cot
ton and lard mill at that
point in case . the canal
was constructed. Col. Frobel proposed man
by the construction of this canal to revo
lutionize the sewrage system of Atlanta
and conduct it on the plan adopted in
Paris. He proposed to construct a tunnel
under Atlanta sufficiently deep for all
sewrage and to connect it with tno Chat
tahoochee river. The sewrage was all to
be turned into this tunnel, and at night
the canal was to be turned into the tun
nel, and by that means carry the matter
offinto the river.
In the latter part of 1881 he went before
the Atlanta city council for the purpose
of asking a smalt appropria
tion for aiding in the construc
tion of the canal. The council refused to
aid him, and after several attempts to put
the matter on a good basis, it fell through,
the survey of the route being the only
work accomplished.
About two years ago he was chosen as
chief engineer of the Macon and Coving
ton Railroad, his owu conception, and has
been witli that road ever since. Col. Fro
bel was an active member of hi. Luke s
Episcopal church, lie drew the plans for
building that edifice. . , ,
The body reached Atlanta last night and
will he buried at Oakland to-day.
Col. Frobel was a fine engineer and a
man of much intelligence upon all sub
jects. Hp had traveled cxtenaivelv in
America and Europe and was. well inform
ed upon all branches of his profession.
His death is received with unusual regret
by his large number of acquaintances in
Mason and Atlanta. w , .'

TIIE CENTKAL’s ALLIANCES.
The rumors of deals and alliances, Gen.
Alexander said, have nothing of fact for a
basis. The usuij friendly relations exist
ing between the Central and the other
great systems of Southern railways will be
maintained, and beyond the annual friend
ly meeting to £o over the same reciprocal
ground, there is nothing to be said about
it. .The General Bays that he has not been*
to New York for a month, although the
outside press have had that item.
General Manager Belknap was in a very
pleasant mood yesterday, and was prepar
ing fur a two days’flying trip to Atlanta
ti attend the annual meeting of the South
ern Railway and Steamship Aisociation,
of which he ?b a member. He talked very
entertainingly of the Central’s activity in
every direction. He said that the Chatta
hoochee Brick Company is ready to go to
work with a force of six liundrid men on
he Buena Visia extension, and ia moving
its forces and building equiplm nts on the
ground preparatory to beginning active
work next week.
Nlaj. Belknap’s attention was called to
>n item in a New York pi per alluding to
r imored alliances, and he laughingly re
marked that the Morning News always
had the latest news on the Central's plans,
and there ia nothing new in that line to
say.
THE BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION.
Maj. Belknap, who returned from Birm
ingham only two or three days ago, says
that work is progressing favorably on the
Birmingham depot buildings,and that they
are now ready to receive and ship freight
over the Colnmbus and Western, a freight
train going through from Colnmbni yes
terday. Section house's are .being built on
the line and a brancli road is being built
to the Henry Ella coal mine. '
Referring to the proposed remodeling
and enlargement of the Ocean steamship
wharves, slips and Bheds, Major Belkuap
said that a corps of engineers is now at
work surveying for the proposed improve
ment. Eight first-class passenger coaches
have been contracted for and others will
be ordered soon. Major Belknap lias also
contracted for 200 flat cars and 200 box
cars to accommodate the increasing freight
and passenger traffic of the Central system.
DEATH OF MIL KICKS.
A Former Foreman of the Telegraph Die.
In SaTannali.
The Savannah News of yesterday con
tains the following:
“Mr. Rabun R. Ricks, a printer em
ployed ns assistant foreman of the Morn
ing News composing room, died this
me ning about 2:30 o’clock. The deceased
had been in declining health for several
years, but on Friday last was taken with a
violent cold, resulting in an attack of con
gestion oi liie lung*. lie Lad teen given
up by his physicians, hut on Sunday
morning rallied somewhat, and his
friends entertained hopes for his re
covery, but it -eems the improve
ment in his condition was only tem
porary, and lie died, as above stated. Mr
Ricks was horn in Dougherty county, in
this State, hut removed' with his family to
Macon, where lie completed his appren
ticeship at the printing business, and
where he waH employed until 1877, when
he removed to Savannah, since which time
he lias l>een constantly employed in the
News office. Tho deceased was a warm
hearted, genial gentleman, and made
friend.-, of all with whom he came iu con
tact. Mr. Rieka was unmarried, but leavei
a brother and sister nnd a number of other
relatives. His remains will be taken to
Macon for interment.”
Mr. Rick- »;i- fur many year* prior to
his removal to Savannah foreman of the

■ When this paper was purchased by
J. W. Burke & Co., in 1870, he was in the
job office of that firm for a fliort time, and
then he assumed the furcmanship of the

He was iu every respect a gentleman, a
skilled printer, and n man who won the
love and confidence of all who knew him.
There are many in Macon who will regret
to learn of his "death. He was a brother of
Mr. L. C. Sicks, of Macon.

They Meet and Take Stand
Against Mr. Bartlett.
Gen. Alexander, president olthe Central
railroad, was asked Tuesday by » Savan
nah News reporter what is being done, if
anything, on the Savannah and Western
road, and what are the Central;, plans for
the fu'ure of the road. There » no active
work being done from Amertcus eastward,
the General said. The Morning News he
added, has published all the news of pub
lic interest connected wth tbe Central svs-
om, and there is absolutely nothing to be
said’ about the
Western except that the Ccn-
tral contemplate. nutldtug
road. The engineers have gone over the
route in two corps, and they are now en
gaged in correcting the survey. It hajrtot
vet been fully determined whether the
road will go by the way of Eastman or

FULL PROCEEDINGS OF THE MEETING;
The blue to ba ISrought Out Squarely at
the Mann Mealing at the Court House
To-morrow—Copies of the
Resolutions Adopted.
Pursuant to the resolution adopted at
the meeting last week, the Citizens’ Reform
Association met, fully four hundred
strong, at the Academy of Music last night,
Mr. Virgil Powers presided.
After the reading of the minutes by Sec
retary Stone, Mr. J. A Orme moved that
the roll be opened to allow persons desir
ous of joining the association to hand in
their names. Quite a number of names
were handed in and called out.
Capt. R. E. Park arose during the giving
in of names and said that he had learned
that a number of gentlemen met sometime
ago at Masonic Hall and issued invita
tions to those likely to become members.
He would state frankly that he was not
one of those gentlemen, and had not been
invited. But because he did not receit^-
one of those invitation he did not stand
upon the street corners and abuse the as
sociation,nor did he go to his office and sulk,
or accuse the association of undemocratic
methods. He had learned that subsequently
a still larger number of invitations were
issued, but no one dropped him a postal
card asking him to join. He did nut kuuw
wheth or it was because they thought him
sufficiently reformed or whether he would
be a firebrand in the camp. But he had
read in the pa pern and had talked to gen
tlemen, and fuitnd that the invitation waB
extended to all who were in sympathy
with the movement, and so he took the
liberty of going where he had not been in
vited, nnd attended the meeting at Masonic
Hall. He did not know whether his name
was on the roll. He wanted to sav, how
ever, that the association was an institu
tion worthy to be recognized. One of its
objects was to obtain through the Legisla
ture a registration law, such as larger and
other cities have. As he understood it, a
registration law was to purify the ballot
and keep it purified—to secure a list of the
legal ydters. He had seen minors vote at
our elections, and such a law would not
only prevent that lmt it would prevent
selling votes for sacks of flour, plugs of
tobacco or half dollars, and voting first at
one poll and then at another, lie could
not see what citizen could _ op
pose till* or how any candidate
could keep from saying he would, do his
best to secure suclt a law. Another object
is to keep'separate the police and fire de
portment frum the city council. If there
ia anv (fitv that has a better police furoe or
fire department or a more gallant or mure
efficieln Chief than Chas. M. Wiley, there
ought (u be erected to it a monument;now
is therire a city that has abler lieutenants
thanyVjiie and Wood? And when you
and rX*(Fasleep, or away from home, who
are tW frien who are pacing our streets
and protecting us from burglars and ruffi-
ians'! It ia the policemen, and there are
no braver set of men who do such duty.
Is it not, therefore, our duty
to protect them, to keep them if
they are loyal and faithiul, and not
subject them to the whims and fluctuations
of mayors and councils? To do this we
must have a police commission to remove
them front the caprices of municipal
changes. And this much is due also to
the firo department. I believe I speak the
sentiment of every man who has connected
himself with the association, is not to de
feat aspirants for office or those in office,
but to udopt measures for the city’s good.
And what man is there with uuy heart in
him who does not wish to remove our
beautiful city of the dead from the hands
of politicians?
He considered these propositions as be
ing straightforward, anil did not see how
any candidate could oppose them.
judge Speer arose atul said lie bad some
hesitation in joining the association after
the invitation had been extended to him
by reason of his public positioD, hut after
seeing the mild and conservative course
being pursued to secure such measures of
reform as were needed, and after listening
to the remarks of the gentlemen who had
preceded him, lie was induced to ask the
honor of becoming ft member.
Loud calls were made for Judge Speer,
and he responded in a few remarks that
were rapturously applauded. He laid he
could but acknowledge briefly the high
mark of appreciation as evinced by the ap
plause. Since his residence in the beauti
ful city of Macon he had not had time to
become acquainted with all the needed re
forms, hut he hoped to he regarded as
an humble co-workcr. Being the son ol a
Methodist preacher, he had lived in cotr
xidcralde towns and some of them not COD'
siderahle, but for everything that goes to
make a people happy and contented this
city is second to none. He s|>oke of the
water, the natural drainage, commercial
position, agricultural advantages, educa
tional tacilitU". the independence, morali
ty and kinu, neighborly people
and of llinn he would say
the language of the psalmist "ye
have a goodly heritage.’’^ He was
bo prophet nor the son of a prophet, but
mihlii. Inmitiitinna named are
divorced from politics, the streets worked
oa a bukiness principle, Macon will yet
bare fruni 75,000 to 100,000 happy and
contented amt prosperous people.
After tbe applause had died away Mr.
Clem P. Steou offered the following resolu
tions, which were adopted:
1. Tbit association was not organized
for the purpose of detesting or electing
any candidate or any individual. Its
purpose i. to promote needed reforms in
the administration of public affairs and to
secure public measures essential to those
reforms.
2. The question of candidates or indi
viduals for office is to he considered only
far a* may be necessary in securing
these public measures and carrying them
into effect in real practical reforms iu this
community.
3. Any m< inker of this a--ociation is
free to follow his convictions on any ques
tion which may ari-i-, but when a majority
of tho members shall deride to adopt any
given course it is of itic highest impor
tance that every member should give it
his hearty support. In h.trmoni u- and

Mr. S. A. Charpiot then read
eply
of Mr. Bartlett, which covered also the
communication addressed tj him by the
committee. [This letter appeared in tho
TELEGitaru of yesterday.]
Mr. Washington said, as a member of
the Citizens’ Reform Association, and be
ing identified with the city in which his
eyes fir>t saw the light and in which he
hoped they would be closed, it seemed to
him that when such an association as this,
so large and so respectable, addressed
a polite note .to a self-advertised
< andidute asking his views on m earn res
that any man could sanction or approve,
he thought it demanded a more respectful
reply. Such a note was addressed to Mr.
Bartlett, hilt what do we receive in reply?
A lot of evasions, strung together on a
very high key. When he read it he felt
as if the six hundred members of tbe asso
ciation had been gently s'apped in the
face. He thought Mr. "Bartlett had made
an error, not of the heart, but of the head
and judgment, and that at a late day lie
would acknowledge it. 1 herefore itseened
to him that it now became neces
sary since tfiis six or eight hundred
people had presented to him a platform so
broad and square that every man in Bibb
county could stand upon it, to net by
open, manly aggression. He then offered
the following resolutions:
Whereas, Mr. C. L. Bartlett has re
tail d to state his views upon two import
ant public measures of a local nature,
which measures have received the unani
mous endorsement of this association and
of many citizens of our county; and,
Whereas ( By this refusal we are clearly
warranted in the belief that if nominated
to the Senate ho will not support these
measures; and, ,

it
Resolved, That in the Democratic con
vention on Saturday next we wiii voie iur
delegates to the senatorial convention,
who will select from the Democrats ot
Bibb county some one who will favor tho
important measures sought to be secured.
Mr. J. P. Ross arose and opposed the
resolntions. He was opposed to relegating
to five men the naming of a man he should
vote for, nor did he believe in uninstructed
delegates. He did not oppose the opposi
tion to Mr. Bartlett, but ton methods of it.
Perhaps Mr. Bartlett, were he convinced
that the people wanted these measures,
would support them.
Mr. Washington replied to Mr. Ross and
said Mr. Bartlett had ample time to make
up his mind on tbe questions. It was not
an off-hand reply, but deliberations which
had been placed in cold type.
After further discussion nnd repeated
calls for the question, the vote was taken
and the resolutions adopted. '
Mr. W. G. Solomon offered a resolution
to the effect that a member be appointed
tp .draft a resolution embodying the two
resolutions just passed ami present them

resolution was adopted.

meeting last year. “Wbat effect has prohi-
tion had on pharmacy V by J. W. Rankin,
of Atlanta, was read by R. H. Land. The
Doctor’s paper was short. He said in so
much as Atlanta had never
had a fair trial of prohibi
tion he could say little on the subject.
He would, say, though, that Atlanta
during the prohibition regime had been
more prosperous than ever before in her
entire hEturv.
“ Do retail druggists prepare their ttne-

how will they compare with those made
by tne regular procets?” This paper was

Dr. Theo. Schumann reported that the
committee appointed at the last meeting
to urge upon the Technological School
Commifsioners tbe necessity of establish
ing n school of pharmacy in connection
with that school had laid the matter be
fore the commission. This request was
considered by tho commissioners and laid-
before the University trustees. He hoped-
that something definite cuuld Le learned
concerning the matter when the
trustees of the University met in
joint session with the Technological Com--
inissioners, in Hepten her. This produced
quite a discussion between At’anta and*
Augusta representatives. D. E. McMaster
of Augusta, opposed the location of the
school in connection with the school of
Technology. He said Augusta was the
place for it and that the school ho estab
lished in connection with the medical col
lege. He said that the Augusta college
had all tbe necessary equipments and with
the addition of one professor to the fac
ulty, the arrangements would be com
pleted.
H. R. Slack favored the locating of the-
rchool in connection with the School of
Technology. He was opposed to locating
tha school with the medical college in Au
gusta, because in all of his experience
where the teaching of pharmacy w»b con-,
fused with that of medicine, the latter was
always paramount.
J. W. Goodwyn said being a Macon,
man, he stood midway between Augusta
and Atlanta in the discussion about lo
cating the school of pharmacy. He said
in studying to be a pharmacist a boy.
wanted something practical, and he favor
ed locating the school where he could gain,
the most practical instruction.
\V. A. Taylor moved the appointment
of a committee of five to consult the Tech
nological commissioners and the board of
trustees of tbe medical college and see
which college ofiered the best advantages
for a pharmaceutical school. The presi
dent being an Atlanta man, Mr. McMae-
ter opposed allowing him the appointing
power and moved as a subsiituo that the
association elect ths committee. This was
carried and the association proceeded tft
elect the committee with the following re
sult:
W. A. Taylor, Atlanta: T. A. Cheat
ham, Macon; K. H. Laud, Augusta; H. G.
Hutcheson, ( \tlauta; W. G. Kendrick,
Dawson. '•
On motion of Walter A. Taylor the
president was authorized to appoint a
committee of five to consult with th> State
Board of Pharmaceutical Examiners to

laws us they saw tit and to memorialise
the General Assembly to pass them; also to
have the association incorporated.
The association then adjourned to meet,
at 'J o’clock to-day at the Sweet Water
Park Hotel.
The association met this morning at 9
o’clock in a room at the Sweet Water Park
Hotel at Salt Springs. The reading of pa
pers was continued, all of which favored a
