THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3, 1884. AM ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A DOUBLE DOSE. Prompt Application of a Stomach-Pump i Two Black Man Meetlrtg®, and all at Saves & Life. Mr. Horace D. Christopher, aged about twenty, attempted to commit suicide at the JJational Hotel, in this city, on Sunday after- soon. Mr. Christopher lived in Macon. He is a *on oi Hr. Christopher, who formerly conduct ed the Porter stables on Third street. At bis lather's death young Christopher had some money, which he invested in horses and mules, but lost It in speculation. Not long j»go his family, consisting of mother and sis ter, left Macon for Nashville, leaving some of their furniture, including a piano, in Macon. ▲bout ten days ago young Christopher re turned to Macon. A week aro Sunday, be •went to board at the National Hotel, and was assigned to room No. 96. He was financially embarrassed, but bis pride prevented his making known the fact, except to a few personal friends, who loaned him small bums of money. | To Mr. Wiley Jones, the proprietor of the National, he did not talk of his affaire in a de spondent way, but on Monday Mr. J. R. Hicks, igbt of suicide did not enter One Time, The Republicans held high carnival last night. The Long faction packed the Superior Court room, and the Clarke faction held forth in the United 6tates Court room. The Long meeting was a big one. The room was packed, and, as some of the delegates had forgotten to put on their Sunday harness, and some wore overcoats, and the night was hot and the room was close, one may imagine wbat little chance a flfty-cent bottle of )>augi- pani had in a crowd like that. A few cigars (fourteen centaahundred) were smoked, and the air was thick euough to be sliced like cheese, limberger at that The circus opened with prayer by Deacon Roberts, and everybody arose and those who were smoking smothered their smoke. Then Rev. Joshua Blms gave out the hymn:— "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow," anffeverybody JOINED 1* THE CHORUS that shook the building, and it was sung with u fervor that caused the good old Methodist brethren from Antioch and Stinsouvlllj to Khufflc the camp-meeting lick, shake hands and look happy. One old grizzly bearded brother from Blue Ruin was so wrapped up in the singing of the bymn that he wanted to He was found with his head leaning on a pass around the hat nnd take up a collection, counter at llicks. Heard & Co.’s store, and on When the hymn won linlnbea, Allen Riling- being asked by Mr. Hicks what the matter was ton gave his cigar stump to Mark Curry to replied that he had taken aome laudanum, take care of and ascended the stand. lie ana that it had made him very sick. The called the meeting to order and then flopj»cd r Mr. Hicks's down into Judfe Simmons’* chair. L. C. Fields was made secretary and the convention On Sunday afternoon Mrs. Wiley Jones • ard groans in the hallway of the hotel and informed her husband. He supposed it was Mr. Christopher talking In bis sleep, as it was his habit to sleep all the morning, and sometimes nntil after dinner. About 5 o'clock Mr. Jones went out upon the veranda, and ithe groans were distinctly beard. He »called to Melissa, one of the chambermaids, to go Into the room and see what was the matter. She tried the door and found It locked from the inside. 8he informed Mr. Jones, and the two then went upon the back porch and entered the room by the win dow. Mr. Jones saw at once that something was wrong, and sent for Dr. J. P. Stevens and also Dr. lilackshear. Dr. Stevens was first to arrive, and a glance at the pupils of the young man’s eyes revealed the fact that he had taken poison. He then gave three or FOUR HYPODERMIC INJECTIONS Judfe ... . lade sec proceeded to business. Jeff Long then arose high and above the seething crowd and began a speech that evoked any amount of applause and amens nnd "dat so's” from his nearer*. He began by denouncing the electoral ticket,'which did _jg tn not coDtain the name of a negro. Then he piled into the United States authorities and raked them OVER RED HOT COALS. He pictured the marshals dragging pris oners over the streets by ibo hair of the head and mentioned their arsenal of E istols each oue carried. He advised his carers not to monkey with post-office or United states Court officials. [Just here a Stinsonville negro who wore a heavy overcoat and had become too warm, unbuttoned the coat and flopped the two sides as a sort of double fan aud caused the franglpanni to I smell louder.] He asked every man in the A WESLEYAN CIRL Tells How She 8pent Her luiWRir Vaca tion. The reporter met her in the ladies’ parlor of the union depot. She had returned from va cation to resume her studies at Wesleyan Col lege, and it was while waiting for Prof. Derry, who had met her at the train, to deliver tho checks for her baggage to the drayman, that our reporter questioned her. He had seen her during the last commencement and hav ing the advantage of a slight acquaintance, to- C er with the reporter’s license, he felt no tancy in interviewing her. He— scarce aud the hungry public must bar "What have you been doing with yourself?” The question was thrown at the little beauty because the reporter was anxious to tell the hungry public now a school girl kills vacation. "What haven’t I been doing, you had better ask. Why bless your dear guileless soul, I ve been doing lots of things. You men folks think we sit down and twiddle our thumbs, crochet, croquet and coquette.” ••You don’t imagine we do anything but go to picnics, flirt with the boys and all that soit of thing, do you? Some girls chew gum and do lOs of things that don't amount to anything, but, let me tell you, I'm not of that stripe. Now, let mo see what I have done. Oh, yes! 1 made lour craay quilt*. Now don’t laugh, because those quilt* were made of castaway scraps, and they will keep me warm all win ter. Then I put up twenty-eight Jars of pre serves, lots of Jsm, two gallons of pickles, and Lord kubwa how many peaches I put up. I had three proposals of marriage and refused them all. I made all the winter clothes for my little brothers, made mother twodfrsses, fixed up my own rigging, painted aboutMycnty pictures, kept up with ray music, went to three picnics and six balls, had the mumps and chilis for a week, to say nothing of a bad tooth and an Ingrowing nail. I’m going to study hard this U rm and graduate next year, aud then perhaps I’ll—here I am, Professor, ready to go." The reporter took up the broken thread "and perhaps I’ll,” and in his own mind concluded the sentence thua, "marry some no account fellow who cau’t appreciate the good there is in a girl who can make such excellent use of a school vacation.' In the arm. Dr. Blackshear soon arrived and I a, i? l , eI ? c ® ?".ftuvjLi. d wwS%aiKi!SS applied his elec rlc battery, but neither course officials to hold up his hands. Then 400 black of treatment seemed to revive him. His respiration was seven to the minute (the average natural respiration being twenty), suid as every Indication pointed to a dyiug condition, the two physicians so stated and As there wa* no hope entertained qt hi* re covery, and as his death was a matter of an hour or to, a search was made by several gen tlemen in the room for any scrap of paper that might throw light upon the cauae of the sui cide. In hla coat pocket were found two letters,one addressed to a young lady In Nashville, and one to Messrs. W. R. Phillip* and J. R. Hicks. It was opened and read as follows, and it will be noticed la dated Monday, the day on which he told Mr. Hicks that he had taken the lamia- rsram: THE LETTER. ••Macon, Ga., September 21.—Dear Friend: Please try to sell strangers, without a d hands, homy with honest toil, shot up into the air. Jeff then assumed a tragic attitude, and In a voice with| the flavor of Bangs and Freddie Paulding |said he would plunge the cold glittering steel dagger into his heart and stagger to hi* bed-1 side with the crimson gore pouring from hit, wounds like the water over tne rock at Toccoa.1 rather than follow tho officeholders. He told] his hearers to ask Hon. Nat Harris topa-s - to go t<^ms est work. Jeff then took up the Mechanics Protective Association recently organized in Macon, and said it was a blow at the negro mechanic. He denounced it in strong terms, and then went on to say that he wanted Blount, Colquitt and Drown to investigate the corruption in the United States court-1 houses. nnd the Congressmen who did the most Investigating would be followed! by the colored race. He said the tariff ques- - u*., ncpwniuvr I'r.An Please sell the piano if you possibly can. and »cnd mamma the money. 1 could not stand to sec her come to want.

Telegraph her of my death. the piano. She Is among dollar. Yours, truly, "II. D. Christopher.' Mr. Hicks did not feel satisfled about the yonngman, and with Mr. Wiley Jones con cluded to send for Dr*. Moore and Mettaucr. When Dr. Moore arrived he sent for a stomach pump, bat before it could be brought. Dr. Met- laucr arrived with one In lilt hand. The pump was applied nnd the contents of the ptomach brought up The patient began at once to revive. Dr. Moore remained until about 2 o’clock aud went away satisfied that the young man would recover. ARRIVAL OP HIS MOTHER. Telegrams were sent to hla mother iu Nash ville. who replied that she would leave on the first train. Khe and her daughter arrived last night to find the unfortunate young man in a fair way to recover from the effects of his at tempt to take his own life. The cause of the step is attributed to finan cial troubles and sickness. He borrowed-some money from a friend a few days ago and on Batnrdav night returned it all but fifteen cents, which he said he must have. On Htm- day morning a negro woman tmught fifteen cents worth of morphine, and it is supposed that it was purchased for him. Mr. Christopher is well-known in Macon, and hla rash act is deeply regretted by hi* Irienda. ». emocrntlc Meeting. Pursuant to a call mode by the executive committee of Bibb county, a meeting of the Democracy was held at the court house jester- day at noon. Tho meeting was called to order by Mr. R. A.

We have received the following in reference to the case mentioned on Sunday: Editor* Telegraph and Messenger: have read your article,"That Double Penalty," and, having investigated and reported the case referred to, 1 desire to explain the mat ter and show that there Is nothing strange In the (demand made by the eollector.and that he proceeded as the law directs.

The error comp’alned of nil unintentional Editor* Trlborahi and Memrnurr: in cenmentlng upon the action of Internal Rev enue Collector Johnson in the case of Aaron Randall, charged with violating the revenue Illegal." In a casual conversation with jour reporter a day or two itoee, I was asked ay ffMMOnuto the legality of forcing a aaa to pay two penalties—ou« to the collector of Internal revenue for non-payment of taxes, before conviction, sad the other under sen tence of the court, after conviction. 1 replied ••that l regarded ouch a law un- ccrntTiotlonal.’’ but 1 did not say. as lam oiii«do «ayr, "that Collector Johnson’s action Undersectlona 31 St and .11*7 cf the Revised Statutes, the coUeatev of internal revenue baa th« right to demand the payment of any tax due thc.g •vernment under the. Internal reve nue law*, where the party liable to _pay such tax n< gleets to pay the same; and be u also authorized under the etetute to collect the same by distraint and sale in the manner pro vided by law. Section 31*7 of the Revised hututes enumerates the articles exempt from clMraintaml sale. Not knowing the facts in the case, of coarse I cannot say whether the collector's action to •legal or Illegal, and the language alleged to .have been need tar me in this connection does a manifest Ini’ rtire to a moat worthy ami effi- xJent officer oithe government. The collector certainly has a legal right to demand the tax .and penal, y where probable - cause has been shown that pay pent has been evaded, amt If the party liable voluntarily .pays the penalty,even though prosecution has •been in-muted iu the courts, It would In no -wise affect the legality of the collector's ac tion. The acnin^f however, may refuse to y tho tax, and In that event the collector, If satteted that the party Is liable, may lory on am! »cL his property If not exempt from levy and sale under the section above quoted.
