of which wu» served by Mr. Boifeulllet,
and denying the right of .Mr. Ellis to

from Mr. Smith to the board of public
works, in accordance With the above,
ami saying that ihe 'hoped Che mater
could <be adjusted, as he did not want
.o go to Jaw with the city, accompa
nied the communication. TVhe letter itHso
suid the onf-y way to remove him was
by Impeadbment. The communication
iwa* referred to the city attorney.
Next came about the saltiest commu
nication that was ever rend In council
meeting concerning a city oflVtki'l. Tlie
h. comimunifcation, *n whlcfti it was
Noble, the sewer, contractors, and ww
full Of “flghtin’ talk.” It began by say
ing: “As opposite parties to the sewer
contract, wo trod the honor to address
you on December 4, 1894, a letter, com
plaining of the arblVmry and tyran
nical conduct of your city, engineer,
and In order tihtat there could bo no
question of the want of sufficient in
formation upon whSch to adt, we trans
mitted a copy of the correspondence
between us covering the matter then
in dispute. Our counscri advised us at
that time that the *act of the engineer
then complained of tenmlnrttfd. If we
so eAccted, the said contract and en
titled us without proceeding further to
demand from the city the full settle
ment of afl our rights under the con
tract and enforce them In the courts
if They were denied us.
nut being desirous of completing the
contract, believing that you would meet
us in a spirit of fairness, that you would
prevent a repetition o flu violations
and tihe petty tyrannies of your engineers,
we determined to pursue the course we
adopted. You have not met our expecta
tions. You not only have not prevented
the repetition of wrong, hut you have not
even replied to our communication. We
desire again to call your attention to
salt communication and the further act
of violation of the spirit and letter of
the contract by your engineer. We are
odvlsed that In law, as we know In jus
tice, you are required to furnish a com
petent, trustworthy and impartial engi
neer. We charge that the conduct of
your engineer In the progress of this
work Is incompatible with these qualifi
cations. As neither your engineer or
any other person In his employ, nny
practical experience at sewer construc
tion at the commencement of this work,
he was not thoroughly competent, and
ns he la too self-opinionated to be taught
even by experience, he remains incompe
tent.”
After city many instances of alleged In
competency, and. In fact, charging willful
nnil unnecessary Interference on the part
of ihe city engtneer In plnln language,
the petition concludes as follows:
•'As we desire to cogiply with our con
trast. both in letter and In spirit, ws in
sist that you furnish a competent, trust
worthy and impartial engineer. As' wo
are anxious to avoid all litigation that
should not be forced upon us, we deem
It due both of us that we should make
nnetber effort to reach an adjustment
of all the controversies that have arisen
during this work, and with a view of
preventing further controversy which are
dally hindering and impairing the work
and endangering Its completion. As we
have said to you before we are ready to
meet you more than half way In a fair
method of adjustment. Surely, if we are
both In earnest to reach thia end. we can
agree upon a competent and disinterested
man o take up all the matters that have
been and are In dispute between us,
and settle the into th# satisfaction ot
both.”
At the conclusion of the reading ot
the comcotnmunlcatlon Alderman Will
ingham moved that it he referred to tho
sower committee to report on it as soon
as possible. Considerable discussion fol
lowed between Aldermen Altmayer and
H»*f os to the distinction between the
sewer committee and the hdvtsory com
mittee, but finally Aldeman Willingham's

A NOBLE INSTITUTION.
Borne Facta Concern Wa tlie Somlr Geor
gia Clnnteenno neehatur II.™,
Among tho many noble Institutions of
orssuuwu cn.nty m ueorgita uiero I. no
ono doing greater good In Ita sphere,
and according to Its means, than the
South Georgia Conference Orphan Home,
located In Vlnevllle.
ThU Institution has often been men
tioned In the column, of the Telegraph,
but people cannot be too oKer remind,',
of Its need. Organized charity |, now
In the path of Christian benevolence and
nearly aU the charity of the future will
doubtless take that shape. The Orphan s
Home, In Vlnevllle, though run by' the
Methodist church, and Is wreekemd
among the greatest and leading works of
that superb denomination, la fully and
freely non-scctual In Its benefit*, taking
the children of all classes of people with
out regard to sect Then, !t goes after
the most helpless. The little ones left
utterly helpless In a world of cold hearts
and selfish natures ore the onea to whom
It reaches the hand of help, and In Its
walls are gathered over 100 of these chil
dren of need. There they find warm
loving hearts, food, shelter, clothing,
the Inducements of education and the
culture of a Christian family. Idleness
Is not permitted and the boys are taught
habits of Industry on the farm and around
the house, and the girls do all tils chores
of the home family, the entire housekeep
ing, sewing, core of smaller children,
etc., all the heavy laundry being done by
the larger girls. , It ls the hope and
prayer of the management that by-and-
by technological deportments will be ad
ded so that practical education may be
In reach of the children. The Institution
Is more than twenty years old, but It ls
still supported almost entirely by volun
tary contributions obtained largely
through its traveling agent, hence It has
no certain Income and must live almost
wholly on the voluntary charity of the
people. Macon’s people, without regard
to sect, Should never allow a year to
pass without doing something for these
needy ones In their orphan's home. Much,
of course. Is done every year, feet !n »•
kirge a town as Macon very much more
can be done.
The local board of trustees, consisting
of the following gentlemen, leading citi
zens of Macon: lion. Water B. Hill,
chairman; Harry C. Tindall, secretary;
Campbell T. King, treasurer; W. D. Wil
liams, Itev. 8. B. Itiyne, R. F. Burden
and J. J. Cobb.
Rev. J. U. Harrison of the South Geor
gia conference, is the superintendent,,
taking the place of Rev. J. F. Ward law,
who la now presiding elder of tho North
Macon district, and who has given the
past two yerirs to Interest of the homo,
during which time vast Improvement has
been made in all departments of the. In
stitution. Mr. Harrison, the new superin
tendent, has labored In the Methodist
ministry In Columbus for the past six or
seven years, doing a groat work there,
especially In tho building of new
churches. Hir come, to the orpCVangne
with strong endorsements as to his quali
fication for the place.
Tho traveling agent of the home Is
Itev. \V. K. Mumford. member ,of the
South Georgia Conference, whose home
ls at Talbotton, Ga. Mr. Mumford has
been preaching only since the fall of
1886. He was for twenty years a country
newspaper man, and though called to
preach when a boy he never yielded to
thia Ufa work until he was M/years old.
He was last year assistant agent of the
home, and visited US places, traveling
thou.tends of miles and touching and
preschlng nearly 150 times In about nine
months, as he did not begin his work
till March II. His work as st'prsscluT
and lecturer for this year In tbq Interest
of the home, will be very great, as he
expects to visit neytaly all the charges of
the South Georgia Conference. He con
templates at an early day the starting of
a monthly Journal In the Interest of the
home. His lecture on the popular 'and
Interesting subject, "Marriage, and the
Meaning of h Home," has attracted wide
intention Wherever It has been delivered.
He proposes to start the circulation of
tho home’s paper by the delivery of this
and other lectures in the leading towns
where he travels, so as not to interfere
. with his regular collection* •lor the
hosag. On an early day the people ot
M.rooflvwlll be given an opportunity to
hear thu--lgeture on ’’Marring.," etc.
Mr. Mumfoiu begun hi. year’s work as
agent of tit. home at Vlnevllle amt Cen
tenary Methodist churches tost Sabbath,
preaching at Vlnevllle In the morning
and at Centenary at night The collec
tions for the day from both congrega
tions reached nearly 5400, though many
of the most liberal members wore ab
sent. About three-fourths of this wua
given by the Vlnevllle church, where the
little orphans worship, and this Is rnrely
n high endorsement of tho work by tho
home church, and thle collection Is not
all Vlnevllle church will do, as several
of Its liberal members, who were absent
will swell the amount up to something
like 9100 from that church. This same
church, with all the other Macon
churches, gave quite liberally to the home
last year.

preacher held, on presentation of requi-
sfUon papers, .spying after the requisi
tion wti» Issued on Governor McKinley
li>e ahou.'d have seen it executed.
"The statements ot the Judge ore
grossly inadequate. His argument Is
a mere subt irfuge and quibble. He has
usurped the preroguttve of the gov
ernor of his stake. He Dins deliberately
refused to execute the plain command
of a law of the United States, and sub-
ondMated it to his own caprice. He has
reproached Kentucky for u. crime of
which his own great state Is not guilt
less. He 'has accepted the statement of
a fugitive from Justice that he feared
unlawful revenge If remanded as a
sufficient reason for his discharge. The
statutes In Ohio, In so far as they may
prescribe methods and renditions sup-
pi. mentary to and inconsistent with the
United States law on the subject of
oxtnadltlon must be 'admitted tn ne
void. This proposition no one will dis
pute.
“No lawyer will claim that Judge
Buohwaltcr’s decision ls sustained by
any precedent In the country. If 4
shall have effect U will be fruitful an
a discord where harmony and good will
should prevail. If followed by Ihe judi
ciary of Ohio, It will make that state

ation -is not wonting to grapple with
the uncontuintles that aiwtiJt them. On
four or line farms In this liumcd'ate
vicinity a Joes of five or six hundred
dallans has.been sustuined by sviine
plague or liiulg fever. The loss was
prinulpuilly at stock frogs, and 'tlie fear
of infection prevents their being for
some time ntplaoed from other sections.
Tho continued cold lias frozen out
the oat crop about onc-lialf, and a large
area of laud will be seeded to spring
oats. Only about one-tttolrd of the crops
