Atlanta played off on the Macon

bv the Eagle to lie a citizen of Guinea-
yflle and was a member of one of her
fire companies. He was in Atlanta on
business, and was “impressed,” so to
S eak, to represent Atlanta in the race.
Kw is that for fair dealing?
At the instance of Mr. Ed. Mercer,
Mr. John H. James, of Atlanta, was
brought before Justice Tanner on the
charges of “larceny after trust” and
oi embezzlement under section 4428 of
the code.” The bond was fixed at 2,-
000 and the case will go before the
grand jury. Wo gather this statement
from the Constitution.
Tnr.HK was recently a large railroad
meeting in Terrell county and the Daw
son Journal publishes this paragraph in
reference to the drift of the meeting:
“The liailroad Commission was inci
dentally touched upon at the railroad
mass-meeting on last Saturday. Tho
drift of sentiment was rather in favor
of haring the laws regulating this body
modified.”

The Atlanta Sponge.
Augusta Evening Newi.
Every town has its “sponges,” but
Atlanta takes the sponge cake. There
is at Jacob’s drug store a sponge
brought from Bahama Islands that is
five feet in circumference and weighs
nearly six pounds. It will hold twenty-
ono gallons of water, a good deal more
than the average Atlanta sponge, as he
rarely takes water. This latter infor
mation is obtained from Pat Kenney,
who is a close observer.
A New Way to Dot Water.
Montezuma Record. .
Mr. John Massey had a well dug on
his place several years ago, and afforded
plenty of water at a shallow depth, but
during the drouth last summer the
supply gave out and lie had his well
dug down to the depth of eighty feet,
but got no water. He concluded ho
would have the well filled up and dig
another, hut when it was filled up to
tho depth where ft was first dug water
came in again, and he now lias a good
well of water. It is tho first time we
have ever heard of filling up a well to
get water.
The Willow Traa Farm.
Since the publication of our visit to Mr.
I. C. Plant's willow tree farm, near Macon,
numerous letters of inquiry have been sent
to ML Plant. The questions asked are:
Where can the cuttings be obtained? What
is considered a suitable place for growing
them? etc.
Mr. Plant has, in many cases, replied to
these inquiries by mail, but the letters
come in so numerously that be desires us
to make a general reply. As to where the
cuttings can be bad. he does not know.
He was fortunate enough to hear of the
arrival of a ship load at New York, and in
this way lie secured the great bulk
of Ills lot. While in the West he offered
a willow-grower .$500 for on acre and it
was refused.
He is anxious to have the Osier willow
cultivated In Georgia, and will go North
in a few days and while there will en
deavor .to find where the cuttings can be
B rocured. Should he find such a place,
le information will be given in this paper.
Should he fail, he will be able the coming
winter, after frost, to spare a couple of
thousand cuttings to bis friends.
As to the other inquiries they will be re
plied to when it is known that ouupeuplc
can have the cuttings.

Brunaon'a Fun.
Houston Home Journal.
Major Brunson’s surprise box created
considerable hilarity in Perry on Mon
day. On the outer edge of the sidewalk
in front of his store was a row of moat
boxes. Directly in front of the door
there was an opening between the boxes
sufficient to allow a person to pass.
Here a hole was dug and a box tilled
with water sunk and completely cov
ered with straw. The fun came in
when on unsuspecting individual
plunged a foot through the straw into
the water. Mucli ingenuity was spent
in coaxing the unwary into this trap.
Each victim was greeted with shouts
of laughter.

Col. Estill came to Savannah a few
years ago a poor pressman and found
employment on the zVetcs. He hus
banded lus resources, however, and
now not only owns the Morning Newt
but is one of the heaviest capitalists of
Southern Georgia. He will make a
vigorous contest and the result will re
main in donbt until the ballot is closed.
As a companion to this movement, it
is said that war is to be mado on Sena
tor Brown, Congressman Tom Harde
man being named as tho man who is
to bear off the Senatorial prize. The
combination of Governorship for
Savannah and Senatorsbip for Macon
is believed to be strong enough to carry
the State. Recent speeches of Sena
tor Brown on the Mormon question are
held to have been the production of
barm rather than good. It is pointed
to as a direct result that the State has
lost ■35,000 by practical rejection of
the Trezevant claim. Hardeman is
immensely popular. Altogether lively
times are ahead in Georgia.
RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Dangers ot Interference With the Bual-
neee of the Ronds-
Southern Railway Newi.
Tho creation of railroad commission
ers means a reduction in the revenue,
and this reduction in the revenue of
the roads is more frequently felt by the
employes than by any others. Rail
roads, as a general thing, are not like
individuals, free from debt; but on
the contrary, are encumbered, most of
them with'large debts. These debts
are interest bearing and became fixed
charges. In other words, are an item of
expense, and must be provided for.
Whenever a road lias not sufficient rev
enue to pay these current expenses,
the first thing in order is to cut down
tho salaries of its employes. What
the.i if the revenue of roads is to be
diminished, and this is clearly the
work of a commissioner; what will he
the result to roads that are barely self-
sustaining? The answer clearly is, a
cutting down oi expenses, and perhaps
with this, the mad will not be self-sus
taining, and will ultimascly pass into
the hands ol a receiver. Then it is
that tho crisis comes—a disaster to both
the country and the man whom the road
employs. Where is the man who will
not sacrifice his political opinion when
the welfare of himself, his family, his
life’s sustenance, his all ore at stake.
These aro questions of much more and
vital importance to him than the mere
whim of “party power,” ami his senti'
Entries Coming In From all Parts of the
State.
The committee from the public library
having in charge the entertainment on the
4th of July, are much gratified at the pros
pect for the biggest day seen in Macon in
a long time.
Entries for all the matches and races are
coming in rapidly, and the attractions will
be so grest and varied that any and every
body will find something to be amused and
entertained with.
In the walking match entries have been
made from Macon. Albany, Americus.
Hawkinsville, Milledgeville Cochran and
other places. The first prize is $100 in
gold and second prize $50, with many other
individual prizes.
The bicycle race will be another impor
tant feature. Savaunah, Augusta, Atlan
ta, Columbus, West Point, Macon and
other cities will be represented. The > bicy
cle procession ot twenty or ttitrty bicycles
on the streets, with the riders in costume,
will be a pretty sight. The first prize is >50
in gold, with numerous other prizes. The
race at the park is five miles against time.
The riders will stand by the side of taeir
machines in line, and at the signal wiil
mount and go.
The mule race will be interesting. Mr.
Dave Cromeline will have ten or more of
the slowest mules to be found, and the
riders will do their best to whoop up their
steeds.
The tub race will be on the river and
form an interesting feature. A rope will
be stretched across the river and, the tub-
men will sit in their tubs and hold on to
the rope. At the word go, they will paddle
down the river to a point one hundred
yards below.
The foot race will be confined to two
members from each of the Macon fire
companies.
The reel contest between crack teams ot
Defiance Hose Company, No. 5, will be ex
citing. The company held an enthusiastic
meeting last night, and will commence the
practice this afternoon at 0 o’clock.
The wheelbarrow race of Capt. Newt
Johnson's will be, perhaps, tbef unnlcst fea
ture. Each man will be blindfolded and
turned around once. He will then roll the
wheelbarrow to a post one hundred yards
away. The man rolling the barrow near
est the post takes the prize.
There will be numerous other amuse
ments which will be given from day to day.
If any of the men who walked in the At
lanta match want to enter this match,
they will hear something to their advan
tage ly calling on Mr. A. Mack to-day.
The day will be made a big one, as it is
generally understood that all the atorea

Pierced by Cupid'. Dart and
8ull.t*
Sitting at the sewing machine in her
room at the boarding-house oi Mr*. Nel
son, GO Fourth street, at ball-past 0 o’clock
yesterday momlng, Mrs. Mattie Bryan
heard a noise In tbe next room similar to
that ot a window sash falling down. The
next room was a large one and occu
pied by Mr. L. Dell Ford, night telegraph
operator (or the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia office at Macon, and Mr. Dan
Jones, a clerk.
Mrs. Bryan stopped her machine and
rushed Into the room. A* she entered the
door she met Mr. Ford, and heard the
words “Oh, Lord!" She led him to the
bed and asilated him to lie down. Tbe
smell ot gunpowder smoke caused the
thought to float through her mind that
Ford bad shot himself. Upon the floor at
the toot ot the bed was an old-fashioned
Colt’s five-barreled pistol, three barrels
discharged and the cap from another bar
rel removed.
ticveral oilier ladies rushed np stairs into
the room, and then word was sent to the
East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia of
fice. Mrs. Bryan beard bat one report. A
short while previous to the shooting, she
heard talking in the room, yet she is satis
fied that there was no one with Ford at
the time, the only occupants of tbenp-
.fair, rooms being ladles. Ford was evi
dently talking to himself.
The news ot tbe suicide spread
LI EX WILDITRK
over the street!. The prominence of Ford,
tbe pedestrian, hit name being on al
most every tongue because of
his having two wives and being
a walking match champion, hia name in
some way became associated with the sui
cide, and soon the town believed that the
defeat and exposure of the leg artist caused
him to take hla own ltfe.
Coroner Hodnett was promptly on hand,
and it required blit little time to organize
the following jury: G. SI. Davis, foreman

with hint, except that he had been drink
ing for the last three or four days. He
said nothing to me that would lead me to
believe that he hud in contemplation such
a rash act as suicide. He was on duty
last night, and this morning when he
made his report, in answer to my question
if everything' was ail right, sum all the
trains were on time. He lias been on this
division of the road nbont two and a half
months, but worked a short while for tbe
upper division at Atlanta. I think he
went to Atlanta from Ashland, Kentucky.
He spoke to me once about a young lady
in Kentucky whose parents objected to his
correspondence with her. He was from
Xewark, Ohio.
John T. Payton, testified: “Last Sunday
was a week ago he told me that he ex
pected to get bit olo situation back in Ken
tucky, but said he didn’t care whether he
Uvea or not if he did not make it np with
the parents of the young lady. With her
he said it was all right. [The witness was
here shown a cabinet-size photo ot a young
lady.] That la the picture of the
lady of whom he apoke. He satu ner
name was
“MIXJU* MELLOR.”
Mr. J. S. Weitzel, testified: “I went
down staira last night and Ford told me he
had had a caller—a policeman. The po
liceman gave him a summons. He said it
was something that was taken from a
house, bnt he had paid ' for It He also
mentioned depoeiting some money with a
man whose nnme I cannot remember.”
The jury then proceeded to Investigate
the papers and letters about the person
and in the trank of the deceased. In his
pockets were found ayleatber pocket book
empty, a bunch of keys and an express
receipt.
In the trunk were several bundles of let
ters. These were mainly from young
ladies in different parts of the State ot
Ohio, tho majority of them being from
Miss Mellor, and Mrs. Mellor. From
ail these letters, the photograph
and the chain ot circumstances
surrounding hit life in Macon and its un
timely ending, tbecauseof hia suicide may
' s summed upas follows:
