TBE ENTERTAINMENT
AT WILLINGHAM’* UAL,I.
WEEK.
LAST
ChnrmlUK Impromptu Programme
W.ll Rendered.
The entertainment, last week, for
the benefit of Brunswiek, was a suc
cess in every feature and was highly
enjoyed by the audience present. The
programme was gotten up hurriedly,
but each and every performer was
fully equal to the task assigned them.
Mr. J. 8. Davis put the audienoe in a
happy humor by a bright five minutes
talk, and prepared them for the good
things to come after.
Miss Underwood’s pinno solo was
beautifully rendered and the audience
testified their appreciation.
The tableau,Studies in Marble, was
one of the prettiest statuary groups
ever presented.
Mr.-Will Smith oharmed his hearers
with his solo, “A Curl From My Baby’s
llair,” which suited his sweet voico to
perfertion.
The vocal solo, “You," by Mrs. Al
bert Carroll, was beautiful. Mrs.
Carroll’s voice is as. clear as a silver
bell, and thero was muoli disappoint
ment that site did not respond to the
encore.
The tableau, “Dressing Moses for the
Fnir,” with Mr. John Davis as Moses,
surrounded by his admiring mother
and sisters, wns fine.
Mrs. W. I,. Davis recited, most
charmingly, the selection,-“I Danced
at Her Wedding.” iirs. Davis always
exercises most perfect taste both in her
selection nnd style of delivery.
The moving tableau, “The Gypsy’s
Warning," .was a beautiful scene of
Ideal Gypsy life. Mrs, Davis, as the
fortune teller, sang the “Gypsy’s
Warning,” nnd Mr. Will Smith and
Mrs. Dnvis snug a duett with mando
lin and guitar accompaniment. Miss
Dita Bostick nnd Mr. Winberg, as the
young oouplc visiting the Gypsy camp,
made a fait picture amidst the rioh
coloring of the scene.
The minstrel specialties by Mr. De-
Wltt Bacon, wiio Is a great favorite in
Albany, were, of course, very fine.
The audience forced him to respond to
repeated encores.
Mrs. Geiger’s appearance was the
signal for enthusiastic applause, ns
usual, and she responded to the eu-
oore with her usual grace and dignity.
Miss Xelln Cutliii’s voice always
gives pleasure to her hearers, and it
wasunuannlly sweetlastovening. “Tell
Her I I.ove Her So” was her selection.
Miss Lillie Ehrlich recited “The
Gypsy Flower Girl.” This was Miss
Ehrlioh’s first appearance before an
Albany audience as an elocutionist.
She displayed great dramatic ability,
and was most graceful.
Mr. Goode Price sang “Afterwards,”
which was well suited to his rich sym
pathetic voioe. It is unnecessary to
state that he received an encore.
The evening closed with a tableau,
“Dream of Fair Women,” in which Al
bany’s fair daughters made a picture
which wns, indeed, a dream of loveli
ness.
The success of the entertainment is
due to the untiring energy of Mrs.
Lockett, who so ably carried it
through, and the gratitude of the
stricken city will go out to all who
gave their assistance to aid this
worthy cause.

HIT ON THE HEAD.
Probably Fatal Rraconat^ Between
Two Well Known Negroe*.
From Monday Evening's Hkkald.
Wesley Brown and Peter Bell, two
well-known Xegro men of the city,
had a little difficulty out at the Oil
Mill at about 6 o’olock Saturday even
ing, and Peter Bell baa been in a crit
ical condition since a few hours after
the difficulty occurred, from the effects
of a blow on the head.
Wesley Brown is a good-natured,
fun-making man or all-work about
town, and Peter Bell Ib a well-known
carpenter.
Wesley lias been suffering for a
week with a sprained book, and a
friend of Ills sent a buggy out to the
Oil Mill, where ho was working, to
carry him home Saturday evening.
When the buggy reached the Oil
Mill Peter Bell wns in it with the boy
who drove it. Peter was under the in
fluence of liquor, it seems, and refused
•o vacate the buggy for Wesley, who
finally demanded his rights by telling
him to get out.
One word brought on another until
finally Peter Bell jumped from the
buggy with, as Wesley claims, a knife
in his hand. As he alighted Wesley
dealt him a blow on the head with a
walking stick Mint he had in his hand—
the stick that lie had been carrying for
several days on account of his lame
back.
' Peter Bell staggered against the
buggy under the effects of the blow he
received, but atterwards walked up
town. 11c reached home early in the
night, and early yesterday morning
Dr. Gillispie was called to see him.
The Doctor found him in a stupor, and
at noon to-day he was still in that con
dition. Close examination shows that
the skull was not fractured, and the
probability is that the stupor ia the
result of the rupture of a blood vessel
nDd the formation of n clot of blood
resting on the brain.
Bell's condition Is considered criti
cal, though it is possible that he may
yet be brought around ail right.
Wesley Brown was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff.Godwin on a warrant
sworn out before Magistrate Greer
yesterday morning, and was commit
ted to jail without bail.

90 BBOAD STREET.
The Jewish custom of celebrating
their birthdays, marriage engagements ]
and weddings Is a beautiful one and
one that tends to preserve the sacred
ness that good society attaches to the
established relations of social life.
Sunday night, at the residence of his
father, Mr. M. D. Gortatowsky, on
Jackson street, tile twenty-first an
niversary of- the birth of his eldest
son, Mr. Henry Gortatowsky, was cel
ebrated.
The friends of this popular young
man called singly ami in companies to
congratulate him upon having safely
arrived at that most important period
of life known ns the majority. And
many handsome presents were borne
by these friends. Among the presents
bestowed were a fine gold watch by
the young man’s father, a gold chain
by Mr. S. B. Brown, diamond studs by
Messrs. Ike Weiss and J ulius Weil and
a diamond stud from Mr. Gortatow-
sky’s brother, Mr. Leon Gortatowsky.
The guests tilled the house, and the
proud parents of the happy young
man set a bountiful feast before them.
The evening was devoted to music,
recitations, etc., and the occasion
passed off most pleasantly, and will be
long remembered by all those whose
good fortune it was to be present.
' Mr. Jake Menko, the well-known
and popular commercial tourist, whom
we claim ns a citizen of Albany, re
turned from Savannah yesterday and
announced to Ills friends that he had
renewed Ins ri'liiliiinsliip for another
year with the firm of Smith Brill hers,
wholesale dealers in Groceries, To
baccos, and Cigars.
Mr. Menko lias sold a grt-at many
goods and established mi extensive
trade throughout bis territory for
Smith Brothers during the past year,
and the fact that be has renewed Ills
relations with tile jioifile for another
year speaks well for both, and will no
doubt be gratifying to the friends of
both.
Mr. Menko assures his friends that
bis bouse is better prepared than ever
to supply the trade with everything
in the lino of groceries, liquors, to
baccos and cigars this season, and he
will call on all his customers for the
house as heretofore.
There is no more popular drummer
on the road than Jake Menko, and he
is one of the liveliest hUBtlers amongst
them. He sells lots of goods in Al
bany.

According to a Philadelphia special
Henry Cochran, who stoic $184,000 In
gold from the United States Mint and
who is posing as a weak minded man,
is shown to have been a consummate
scamp. For years he lived alone in a
big house in Darby, a suburb. The
building set back 100 feet from Wood
land avenue, and is perched on a hill
Chief of Secret Service Drummond
investigated the house to-day. In the
parlor, dining room and other apart
ments where the public visit were re
ligious pictures, Bibles and hymn
books. In the cellar was found a false
door, which Hew back by tpuchlng a
spring. This led into a tunnel that
ended at. the street, the mouth being
concealed by glass. In the house
were trunks full of clothing, thirty-
two new hats, a razor for every day in
the month, and twenty pairs of shoes,
Six crucibles for meltfng gold were
also found, as well as dies for making
counterfeit coin. He had the 'top of
his house fitted up like a smeltering
room, and could drop to the cellar on
a trap door and then run out the tun
nel in case he should be surprised.
False pannels in the walls showed
secret closets, and the place was in
reality a monster thiefs -den. Coch

THAT WAN THE FATE OF A GIN
house last week.
Twenty-lno Bale, of Callu la Aebee—
Mr. D. I.. Woolen Matter, an
laceaUInry Fire.
Mr. D. Laney Wooten came Into the
olty on Friday morning of last
week and reported a disastrous
conflagration which ocourred on
the Jno. P. Davis plantation on the
Worth-Dougberty county line about
ten miles up Flint river on the cast
side, on which Mr. Wooten is living as
the administrator on the estate.
Mr. Wooten says that Friday morn
ing about 12:30o’elook he was awaken
ed by one of hia Negro tenants, who
informed him that his gin house was
burned, The gin house is about a
mile from wlieru Mr. Wooten resides,
and when he reached the scene, the
roof was ready to fall In. lie Bsystlint
on Thursday, about 1 o’olock, the gin
was shut down for the day and the fire
in the engine extinguished, and that
he cannot account for the fire other
than it was of incendiary origin. In
faot, hr says he is certain that the gin
house was set on lire, but ho has no
suspicions ns to who the guilty parties
are.
At the time of the fire there were
twenty-two bales of ootton in the gin
house, all of which was burned, to
gether with a quanity of ootton seed,
seed ootton, and the like.
Mr. Wooten places the loss at from
$1,600 to $2,000 with no insurance.
Mr. Wooten is an industrious young
farmer, well and favorably known in
this section, and has scores of friends
who will regret to lenrn of his misfor
tune. ,
UIII IIQIITV RALES A DAY.
Oee of the Ruilnl Pin... to Be Seen
In .r Around Albnnv.
A person going in the neighborhood
of the Artesian Xoe Company’s estab
lishment and the Georgia Cotton Oil
Mills, cannot fail to be struck with
the great number of country wagons
loaded with ootton that are constant
ly going and coming to and from the
Oil Company’s big ginning plant.
Front early morning till night the
gin house la a soeneof bustling activi
ty. Planters and small farmers who
have no gins of their own utilize the
splendid facilities there offered for
ginning and baling their staple, and
six of the very beat machines are al
most constantly on the go.
Yesterday waB an especially lively
day with the gins, seventy-four. bales
having been turned out ready for the
warehouse scales. When a wagon
pulls up with its load of the fleeoy
staple, two sets of whistling/ saws are
soon separating lint and seed. The
mnohinery la all kept in suoh perfeot
running order that it is not by any
means beyond the oapaoity of the gins
to turn out eighty bales daily, and
patrons seldom have occasion to grow
weary of waiting thoir turn, so rapid
ly is everything done.
Only experienced men are employed
in the ginnery, and it ia truly inter
esting and instructive to watch the
process of ginning and packing bale
after bale of all grades of Georgia’s
King.
Farmers who do not live too great a
distance from the olty find it not only
cheaper, but more convenient to haul
their cotton to the Oil Mill to be gin
ned than to keep up a gin and press at
home.

Mr. Wiley H. BraBwell came into the
cityMonday morning having in clinrge
a 15-year-old Negro boy by the name
of Eli Hasty. *
It appears that Eli was detected,
early Monday morning,in stealing two
hogs from Mr. Braswell’s plantation,
which ia in East Dougherty.
Believing the evidence to be con
elusive, Mr. Braswell induced the boy
to accompany him to town. Arriving
here, a warrant was sworn out against
Hasty charging him witli simple lar
ceny. He was turned over to Officer
Raley, who succeeded in lodging him
in jail.
For Ilia Hasty action in purloining
hogs Eli will probably receive a sent
ence in the chaingang that will learn
him to be honest in the future.

NOTHING BUT GLOOM.
A Vivid Pea Picture a( Mlrlchen
Branawlclc.
From the Brunswick Tlmcs-Adrertiser.
Goldsmith’s ‘“Deserted Village”
does not present a gloomier picture
than that of Brunswiek to-day.
The central residence part of the
oity is almost without an inhabitant.
With but here and there an exception
the stores are closed, and on many
streets you may walk the entire length,
with no sign of life appearing only
that of an oooasional cat oreeplng
stealthily from plaae to placehi search
of food.
In other parts where residences are
ocoupied there ia a hushed alienee ns if
the dreary surroundings had orept
into the hearts of tho people and
crushed out all hope.
Here and there niny be seen a brows
ing cow upon silme meadow of green,
a planted plat of God’s Providence to
light the way with beaming sunshine,
and in the midst of waving uiosr
drooping from the grand old oaks, one
can look on In admlrntion, catching
the brighter blue of tho over sky, and
in breath of sweet air, wonder why
this plague should exist.
Thero Is no stench of pollution, and
yet while thus dreaming the unao-
countable poison may be slacking the
blood to a torment of viaious pain and
soorohing fever.
But for the going and uomlng of the
few brave epirltB whose time is de
voted to the stok and the suffering,
and the daily throng that forms In
double file next to the commissary
store, the drenry picture would have
no back ground of relief.
In tile midst of this, however, the
few are given to smlie and cheer of
oountenanoe that tells of the force of
will behind it. Even in the hardest
haunts of vice there is the absence of
revelry.
It is the picture that gives too little
inspiration to paint where the scenes
are so vividly drawn, and yet, In a
few weeks it will be so like a dream.
A MUMFIUIOUM CAME

News readied Mayor Gilbert Sun
day that there was a case of yellow
fever at the Brunswlok camp of deten
tion. Persons coining from the oamp
have been allowed to oomo into Al
bany on their certificates from the
physloian In obarge that they had been
detained there for ten days, but Mayor
Gilbert didn’t think It prudent to ad
mit any more of them if proved to bo
true that the disease had broken out
there. So he sent a telegram of in
quiry to Surgeon Geddings, and re
ceived the following in reply:

GEORGIA’S GOVKBNOKNUII*.
It is reported here, says a special
from Atlanta to tho Savannah News,
that ex-Congressman Thomas E. Wat
son has determined to abandon tho
idea of running for Congress next
year and will make the race ‘for tile
governorship. His plan is said to bo
to make a cross roads canvass against
tho Democratic nominee, ns iio is
fast doing already, nnd at the same
time putting out feelers for the United
States Senate in ense this should offer
the best chances of success at the final
moment.
There is another interesting politi
cal report in circulation here this
week—that Hon. W. Y. Atkinson will
give way to Steve Clay in tho guber
natorial race. Mr. Atkinson was in
the city to-day, but has nothing to say
about politios. Messrs. Clay and At
kinson would draw largely on the
same element for strength, nnd the
understanding is that they have come
lie ‘ ‘ - •
to the conclusion that for both to re
main in the race menns that neither
will get the nomination, besides Mr.
Atkinson would he bitterly opposed
by the veterans, and therefore, taking
everythingelse into consideration the
report is that he will not be n candi
date, but throw ids support to Mr.
Clay, for which lie is to be remem
bered in the futuc.
A Nnd Death.
Miss Oulda Bledsoe, the 15-year-oid
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Bledsoe,
died last Friday, after a few days ill
ness witli hemorrhagic fever, at her

relatives in Albany, and wn9 the great
niece of Capt. John A. Davis and
Mrs. Martha Gilbert. She was a
sweet, attractive girl and is pleasant
ly remembered by the youngpeople of
Albany, as she has often visited Miss
Viola Burks. Her death,in her.happy
girlhood, la peculiarly sad, and the
sympathy of every one gones out to
her bearkbrolten parents;
The remains were brought to Al
bany and were interred in Oakview
cemetery at 10 o’clock Saturday morn
