LIFE.
Mr. John Watt, of Cochran, a voting
man about 21 years of age, and eon of
Mr. Burrell Watts the well-known mer
chant of that place, was shot in the right
breast yesterday morning, over Davis’ bar,
corner of Bridge Row and Ormulgee streets,
» and it is c early evident that the shot
was fired by his own hand.
Mr. Watts came to Macon on the train
ironi Cochran which arrived shortly after
2 o’clock yesterday morning, and was
driven np town in the hack of John
Tharpe. He told John that he wanted to
return home on the 3 o’clock train, but got
left, and then decided to take the train
back which passes Macon at 8:35 o’clock
a. m. About 5 o’clock as John was pass
ing the place of T. W. Bond, opposite the
|aU, on bis way with some passengers, he
was hailed by young Watts. On his re
turn trip, John went in and found Watts
in the wagon-yard with his pistol
drawn cursing a country negro, and
trying to make the negro give
np some cotton receipts. John finally
took hold of him and persuaded him to
come oat of the lot, managing at the same
time to get his pistol. He was put in the
hack, and then he demanded his pistol,
which John refused to let him have. He
was carried to Davis’s bar, and where Mr.
Davis was given the pistol by John. Seeing
1 hit Watts was considerably under the in
fluence of whisky, and fearing bad results,
Mr. Davis took ail the five cartridges from
it and gave it to him. He went upstairs
into Mr. Davis’s room and asked for the
loan of some money, saying he wanted to
go away and not return to Cochran. He
then went ont and was driven np town by
the hackman. On the way he told John
that he was going to forge his father’s
name for $50,000; that he wanted to kill
himself and, finally, he wanted to kill the
Jute liman. He snapped the pistol several
times at himself and then at John, hut

his cousin, Mr. Pelham Clinton, well estab
lished in New York and the husband of a
beautiful American girl, the daughter of
Mr. Louis Zerega and cousin to the yonng
lady whom he is now about to marry. Mi.
Pelham Clinton ■ nluraliy introduced his
kinsmau to his wife’s people, and a series
of small entertainments were arranged by
the Zeregas for his grace of Newcastle.
The Duke was introduced to the various
clubs, and made many friends by his gen
tle and unostentatious manner heightened
by the bodily infirmities which he bore so
bravely. He returned to England in
March, and in May Mrs. John Zerega and
Miss ‘'Dottie” sailed for England, where
tney have been ever since, and wh re the
friendship of the young people has ripened
into love.
WHO THE ZEKEOAS ARE.
In ante-bellum days Augustus Zerega,
the grandfather of Miss “Dotte,’ ( was tine
of the richest merchants of New York. He
was a Spaniard by biith, and his wife was
a duenna of high"rank. It was whispered
in feting around in his pockets, Watts J at the time that his scarce of wealth was
found a cartridge, which he put in tho j the '‘Jl’ae(third” trade, but however that
pistol with the remark that he was ail may have been, early in the forties Aug'Ui

place. He then went Up Stairs aud asked . Point, ami erected thereon a massive stone
Mr. Davis for the loan of $600. Mr. Davis
told him he conld not loan that much, but
if he wanted money enough to get back
home on, he would let him have it. Watts
said he did not want any if he could not
get ail, and then started as if to go down
sta rs. Pulling out the pistol, he said he
did Dot want to live anyhow, and fired.
Mr. Davis, seeing his shirt was on fire,
threw tome water on it and pat it out.
'Watts sat down on the bed, but afterward
walked down stain, and remarked to Mr.
Clarke, the barkeeper, that lie had' shot
sin—if. H« tWn walked oTtr to the
East Tennesa.e depot.
Officer Bailey had just returned from
breakfast, and was told of the occurrence
1 V the railroad gatekeeper. II" went over
to the depot, and was met by Watts, who
said: “Charter a train for me—I want to
go home.” Tho officer put him in
a hack, that he might be
carried up town and receive medical at
tention. He was taken to tho city hall,
where he claimed that he wus shot by Mr.
Davis. Chief Wiley sent for Mr. Davis
and heard bit statement, and also that of
mansion, in which he still lives. He
reared a large family of boys, of whom
John, the father-in-law to be, is pr -bubly
the most successful and best known, al
though suffering at times, like his fellows,
from the lluctuutions of Wall street. John
Zerega married a Miss Berry, a most re
fined and cultivated woman, and their onlv
child. Miss “Dottie,” has inherited the
blonde beauty of her mother and the Hash
ing dark eyes of her father.
The future Duchess of Newcastle, who
is only 21, made her debut in New York
society three winters ago, and, while not
going out as mush as some of the debut
antes of her year, received enough atten
tion to turn most girls’heads, yet remained
always loyal to her Westchester friends,
the comrades and playmates of her youth,
and was never so happy as when at Bolton
Priory, the fine old liviise at Petlnui which
her father leased for a number of yeais.

and asa-imed the title on the death of his
the sheriff denied saying. They met three
or four times within the two weeks, and
each time the dispute arose. On
Saturday night about half past six
o’clock, Pettis was on the porch of Wal
ker’s store in Jeffersonville when Reynolds
came np and said. “Frank, I can now
prove that you said it.” Pettis replied,
“Bill, we've had enough of this.” Rey
nolds said, "Well, I can prove that you said
it.” l’ettis whs then heard to say, “Well,
go ahead and prove it,” Reynolds walked
into the store us the bystanders thought to
furnish the proof, but reappeared with a
knife in his hand and approached Pettis,
who drew his pistol and told him to halt.
Reynolds continued to ndvance, and when
near him with the hand holding the knife
uplifted, Pettis fired three shots and Rey
nolds fell. He was picked np nnd it wits
found that three ha Is bail entered his left
breast and all of them in the region of the
heart.
The messenger came in yesterday morn
ing to Undertaker Keating and secured a
handsome casket, which was carried out.
Up to the time of the messenger’s leaving,
n .> steps had been taken to arrest the
sheriff.
The deceased was a son of Mr. Hob
Reynolds, who has more than once repre
sented Iwiggs in the legisla'ure, and is a
man of much influence in the county. Mr.
Reynolds was a farmer, and lost his wife
some .ime ago. Sheriff Pettis is well
known as a quiet but determined man,
considerably smaller of stature than Mr.
Reynolds. %
ftS.ilr is very much regretted in
Macon, where both hate many (riends.
Mr. Pettis was known as a supporter ot
Shannon and Mr. Reynolds as a Glover
man in the senatorial complication. Tills
brought about .he ill feeling that had such
a tragic ending.
The shooting took place within fifty feet
of wliete two men were killed some six
years ago.

“Bullock legislature”—to which your

The memht rs of that sweet-seemed con

the same. That 328 da.a of misrepresen
tation cost llio taxpayers of the stste the
sung 11 tie sum of $979,1155, nearly a mil
lion dollars. This 328 days cost more
than the twelve yeara of legislation pre

legislature since the constitution of 1877
went into eflect to the present lime. Jahn
Dec voted every time against reducing the

the governor f.-eoi issuing any more
fraudulent bonds. While Johnnie was

spirited away, and $1,600,000 made by the
state road went the same way.

The severe analytical tests to which the various baking
powders have from time to time been placed have demon*
strated clearly to the public the relative merits of the
different brands from a scientific point of view. The Gov
ernment. chemists, for instance, have found in their official
tests that the Royal Baking Powder gave off the largest
amount of leavening gas, and therefore was the most
economical for general use. They also found the Royal to
be absolutely pure, and the only baking powder that did
not contain either lime, alum, or bone or rock phosphate.
For these reason* they recommended it for Government
uses, and it is now used in the War, Navy and Indian
departments.
But the crucial test of the kitchen is, after all, the
most satisfactory to the housekeeper. A baking powder
that'never fails to make light, sweet, wholesome, and palat
able bread, biscuit, cake, etc., is the one that will be
selected by the practical housekeeper and received into her
kitchen for continuous use. This test the Royal Baking
Powder has stood for over twenty years without a failure,
and hence its, reputation as the best baking powder made
has spread from house to house, until its use has become
as universal as its merits are unrivaled.

A 4 Year-OM Manage, to Qet lloltl of a

The new* came in yesterday of the acci
dental .hooting of a little boy, 4 years old,
son oi Mr. John McDonald, a dry or so
ago. Mr. McDonald lives on the B. T.
Ray place, in T» iggs county, just over the
line of Bibb. His little son raw a pistol
on the mantel and took a great fancy to it.
As it was well out of his reach, the family
lutd no thought oi auy effort on his part to
get to it But, watching his opportunity
tt e little fellow secured a chair in which
lie placed his own little chtir, and then on
this be placed a couple oi pillows. He
then climbed up to the mantel and secured
the coveted weapon.
He carried it cCt into the yard unpn'irad
by any one, and while playing with it dis
charged it in some way, the ball entering
his right breast just below the nipple. He
■walked about after being ihot, hardly con
scious of the fact that he. had discharged
the pistol and wounded himself. The re
port of the pistol brought out the family,
and it was not until they saw the blood
that they knew he was shot. Dr. O’Daniel
examined the wound and does not think tt
will prove fatal.
