Engineer Cooper will not make his

RIVER NAVIGATION.
Alderman Conner offered tho follow

were adopted:
A matter of vital importance to M&con
is the question of making tho Ocmulgeo
river navigable.
Long before her present importance as
a railroad center, our river trade not
only entered verv largely into our com
merce, but made Macon one of tho largest
and best cotton markets, iu tho state.

DYNAMITE AND A GAS PIPE

u struck hy citlicr bullet, and the fade of the town, along tho line, and
tho lands bordering on tho river were
much more valuable to their owners
than now, whilo the products thereof
found u ready and remunerative market.
Various causes have contributed to the
division of the commerce of our city,
and chief among these is lack of river
navigation to force railroad combines to
recognize that our merchants have other
channels than their own for receiving
and shipping goods. In viowof these
facts tiiu following is submitted for con
sideration by this council:
Whereas, Tho trade of Macon has suf
fered and is likely to continuo to suffer
hy bciug placed ut a disudvuntago in
freight rates with othor cities, and
Whereas, Tho most speedy and per
manent relief stems to lib in making tho
Ocmulgce river nuvigablo for small
crafts which can ply her watora, thus
giving our merchants another competing
lino of freight, and
Whereas, Tho Board of Trade of
Macon has been informod by similar
bodies of the cities of Augusta, Colum

Whereas, The tourd lias been success

therefore
Resolved, That with an unfailing faith
in tho practicability of this work the
city council of Macon will watch with
interest the progress of tho work and
await with hojieful patience the toport
of Lieutenant Carter to the government;
und should that report bo favorable wo
plcdgo this council to co-operate as far
os possible in rendering material aid to
all parties interested in making tho work
a grand success.
Keuol vod, Tluit it is tho scqso of this
council that, in the event tho report of
tho surveyor should bo fuvorable to nav
igation, our inunedinto representative in
congress, Col. Jas. II. Blount, who we
know bus this work already at heart,
could not belter serve his constituents
than by using his Ust efforts to secure a
•utticiently increased appropriation from
such* condition os to meet all tho de
mands of trade along its route as spo^d-
ily as possible.
THEY CAUSE A HEAVY SHOCK AND
DAMAGE A BUILDING.
The Narrow Escape*Yesterday Morn*
In* of the Occupants of th© Man**
field House—An Infernal .Ma
chine Doca Nome I'oor \% ork.
The Mansfield house, occupied by a
mulatto woman named Mamie Savage,
located on thb corner of Walnut and
Fifth streets, came near 1 oiug destroyed
yesterday morning by tho explosion of
an infernal machine.
As it was, a hole was blown through
the floor of one of the rooms almost six
inches square, the neighboring houses
were shaken as if an earthquake had
visited the city, and in all portions of
Macon the noise of the explosion was
heard.
It wa* almost I o'clock when tho oc
cupants of tho house heard somo own
walking in the yards in tho rear. Ap
parently the nocturnal visitor passed
out through tho back gate, for no further
noise was hoard until just ns the court
house clock struck ono the machine
went off and then all was ccnfusit n.
In one of the front rooms n large hole
was torn through tho floor and f its of
gas nipe were sent whirling thro *h tho
air, breaking windows anddamapi ig the
furniture.
The lights in the house wero put out.
This caused a panic and the occupants
fled in all directions. Some thought
that an earthquake had visited the city,
others that tho world had come to an
end, while 6till others were uncertain
whether or not au attempt had been
made by designing parties to blow up
the establishment.
Finally, order being restored, the oc
cupants returned. In tho room facing
Fifth street and on the side adjoining the
baseball park several pieces of gas pipe
were found. Immense pieces rf wrap
ping paper were also found around, and
the carnet at tho piuco whero tho ma
chine aid its Work was torn into shreds.
The officers had in tho meantime vis
ited the place, and seeing so much ra
cier came to the conclusion that a hug *
cannon-cracker had b.»en sot off by some
jovial citizen for the purposo of frighten
ing tho women.
Early yesterday morning the Savage
woman arose and made an investigation,
Underneath the house she found tho un

tho practicability of iU navigation, Tho machine was made out of a piece
[ore bo it * of gas pipe about twelve inches in length
ami one nn l n half inches in diameter.
The pipe had been aecurely plugged at
each end. In the center there was a
small hole drilled and in this tho fuse
had been fastened. Tho pipe lmd been
filled with dynamite after all of tho
plugging had been done, and with the
fuse uttached it was oqual to any work
set beforo ifc It was powerful enough
to have blown a hole through a brick
wail, and it was tho greatest miracle thut
it had not gono into the ceiling of the
room which it entered.
The largest pieco'of tho pipe which
was found in tho room was split in the
middle and had the fuse bole in it. It
had been bent clear around until it was
almost turned inaido out. The dynamite*
had blown picceeof it into the wood work
around tho room and into the Loams un-
shape.
Tho Savage woman has offered tho
officers |50 to secure enough proof to
couvict any person of the act. She
claims that there are but one or two that
would have attempted such a thing. She
gave tbeir names to the officers.
Ono of them, it is averted, left the
place soveral days ago and threatened to

to drive tho occupants of thu home from
tho city or to take revenge upon *hora is
not known. The officers are working ou

Incidence or a Dtrlno Judgment t
Several days ago Patrick Gallaghor
felt in Ills coat nockot for bis pipe, soys
the St. Lonis Ulobo-Democrnt, It was
not there, and its abreneo caused him to
make a terriblo wislu Hie wifo reproved

“ Well, I don’t care,” ho said;. “here
with this uplifted hand to hoaven I pray

Before his uttoranco had died away
Galjpghcr felt a severe twitching of the
heart and complained of feeling unwell.
A doctor waa hastily dispatched for, and
said that he had received a stroke of
paralysis. As Gallagher was in strait
ened circumstances, it was deemed best
to removo him for treatment to tho
llomo for the Aged Poor, corner of Scott
nnd Dequladre streets, which was ac
cordingly done. Dr. Kaiser, tho attend
ing physician, pronounced the cnee a
critical one. and death ensued in 1<
than twelve hours.
Tlie grief-stricken family were at a
loss to understand his sudden death, i In
looking yesterday, however, through his
clothes, removed at the time of the para
lytic stroke, they were filled with sti))er
st it ions horror, for in one of hU outside
pockets was found tiic missing pipe,
which hnd worked its way into tho lin

Allan Jones, the ex-police ofilcor, is in
deep trouble.
Whether or not ho is loiponsible for
his actions, or whether strong drink Jus
earned a temporaly nbtrmtion of tho
mind, are things unknown. He i< in
trouble deep, onvway, and unless some
thing turns up ne will find himself
regular lodger at tlie city prison.
For some timo all has pot been well
between Jones and his wife; From spats
their quarrels grew more serious, until
on Wednesday the climax was reached.
Jones attempted to strike his better half,
but in wirae way or other sho escaped to
alarm the neighbors and to secure the
a*ifltancoof the police.
Th6 difficulty had occurred in Jones'
home, the house next to tho jail on Mul
berry street, and as there are a number
of boarders there, all took an interest in
tlio proceedings.
Jones was arrested and landed in the
city prison Wednesday night. Yester
day he coma up beforo Justice Poe for a
hearing, and by this tribunal was bound
over in a bond of $3C0 to keep tlio peace.
Bailiff G. M. Blackabcar took chargo
of tho prisoner while ho waa trying to
make tho bond, and after a long walk
turned his man loose, accepting a bond
iven by ex*Lieut. W. A. Wylie. When
ustico roo road tbo bond he found that
it was wrong, and ordered Blackshear to
re arrest Jones. Lieut. Wylie was called
upon to perfect the bond. He refused

Tlie crowd grew larger and larger. All

At last Chief Kenan rode down. Iu-
aide of ten minutes Jones came out with
him, and Capt. W. A. Davis making his
bond, bo was released. Although lie
was under a bond to stav away from the
house Joses immediately .returned to it,
and during the night raised a small tem

A prominent citizen of Eatonton w
in Macon yesterday, and was asked by a
TtljKUUMI man as to the progress being
made by his part of the state.
"Eatontou," said the gentleman, “has
just built a very handsome t-chooi house,
of which tho citizens have just reason to
bo proud. It was built by tho town, and
the contractor was Mr. (.[has. Leonard,
wh.o built tho handsome Eatonton hotel.
It coat $3,000, and is situated in a beau
tiful grovo of oaks on Broad street.
“A great deal of interest exists among
tho farmers of Putnam county, in regard
to tlie county fair, which is to bo held at
Eatonton, October 3d, nnd the indica
tions ore that it will bo an unusually
good one. The colt exhibit will bo ex

us those put up by tho state fairs, will bo
offered for tho best trotters and racers.
Tlio fuir will Ihj held at thegroundsin tho

|“The Putnam County Alliance Is a great
success. According to tlio statement of
Dr. DeJanett", who La man of busi
ness and ought to know, fully $5),030
has been saved to tho farmers of Putnam
county through this organization,
Our alliance seems to bo specially worthy
of credit for having indulgod in no such

you see would never tolerato such a

A Raised Clieck I. Presented nt II10
Exehftiier. bnf la Detected.
A daring forgery wa* attempted y
terday morning, but by Bank Cashier
Cobb s prompt action it was detected,
and a leading firm saved a neat sum of
money.
It was about 0 o’clock when a small,
well-built white man, with mustache
and whiskers, walked into the Exchange
bank and presented for payment a check
signed by Messrs. Price & Mass and
rnado payable to C. M. Wiley. Tlie
check was for $250.27, but boro no date
or number.
Cashier Cobb did not like the am car-
•nee of it. so he excusod himself and
went to tho telephone and called up the
firm about it.
The man decided not tv wait for
developments and left. The reason of
his ha$ty departure was soon apparent.
Tho chock was found to nave been
stolon from tho check book from
tho firm's old store on up
per Cherry street, from which
they are moving to lower (.’berry
street. It was originally drawn for
v-‘ : * .27, and was made payable to no one,
Mr. Mans being culled away from tho
desk wbiJo filling it out. Jnall proba
bility, it was stolen from the store daring
tho temporary’ uImuico of tho proprietors
and clerks. The would-bo forger, al
though adroit enough to successfully
work in tho cipher to rai-e tho check,
wag not smart enough to look after tho
date and nuifibcr, and it will tako a
shrewder rascal than that to got ahead
of Cashier Cobh. In spit© of the vigilant
effort* of tho police, no trace has as yet
been found of the check raiser, and it is
quite likely that he has bidden Macon a
linsty adieu shortly after Ids rascally
scheme was detected and cxpoecd.

at Albany awaiting the governor's
