A bill from Mr. S. B. Brown, asking
that he bo paid $20 for the wear and

to the city for use of the lire depart
ment, was approved.
A communication from Mr. M. D.
Gortatowsky, manager of the Edison
Illuminating Co., to Council, was read,
in whloh he stated that the oompany
had employed a man from Atlanta,
who is now engaged in repairing all
breaks in the lines that accumulated
during the illness of Mr. Barfoot, the
eleotrieian. He begged that no deduc
tion be made in settlement for the few
nights of poor lighting during the last
quarter, and said he felt able to prom
ise good service in future. The ac
count was ordered paid in full. It
was decreed that in future a book
shall be kept at the Mayor’s olHce, in
which complaints are to be placed by
parties who know where lights have
burned out.
Tlie following figures appeared on
the City Treasurer’s report, which was
accepted: On hand, Sept. B, $071.89,
since which time $1)73.30 has been re
ceived, making a total of $1,045.19.
Disbursements up to Oct. 14th showed
$1,4SS.93, leaving a balance on hand of
$450.21.
On petition of all the warehousemen
of the city, the question was taken up
by Council whether the license on cot
ton buyers be repealed. Considerable
discussion was indulged in by Coun
cil, nnd the license was finally re
pealed, and half the amount paid by
each buyer for license in 1893 will be
refunded. Several parties who have
been buying the staple without license
will be compelled to ante up, else have
city oases docketed againBt them.
The matter of license to be paid by
the Jay Bird Compress was also taken
up, and a decision reached that the li
cense be collected without delay.
And then the bioyclists came iif for
thelrshareof attention again. Messrs.
When a reporter of the Herald
opened the Waycross Herald of the
20th, Monday morning, he read the fol
lowing:
Surgeon-General Wyman has or
dered Surgeon Dessarssure to Albany
to investigate several oases of sickness
that have ooourred In that olty. It is
not suspected that yellow fever exists
there, but some bad cases of malarial
fever have been reported from that
point. Surgeon Geddings left Way
cross for Albany this morning.
It was the first intimation that Al
bany was to bo visited by one of the
government physioians that tho
Herald had reoeived, and of oourse
an investigation of tho matter was at
onoe made.
It was found that Surgeon Dessars
sure spent last Saturday in tho city
Ills presence was kept very quiet, only
Mayor Gilbert and the physioians
being apprised of the faot. The Sur
geon’s work was quietly though thor
oughly accomplished, after which be
gave it as his opinion that there was
no occasion fur alarm.
When Surgeon Dessarssure makes
an oflloial report it will be in keeping
with the above f tots.
It is very probable that Surgeon-
General Wyman ordered a physician
to Albany because of the two deaths
from hemorrliagio fever that have oc
curred here this year. Had be known
that we have such cases here
every year he would not have ordered
toe inspection. This hemorrhagic
fever never occurs in Albany. It is
develops only in that low, marshy
country surrounding the city where
there is no pure water. Tho disease is
always contracted in these districts,
and the patients are then brought to
Albany for Irealment and where they
can get the benefit of the olty's arteB-
inn water.
Surgeon Dessarssure left Albany
perfectly satisfied that he oame on a
“wild goose ohnse.”

anrnnoo.
LastlFrlday night at 11 o’olook the
stookade of Mr. Jesse Land, of Fast
Dougherty, was burned to the ground
together with two muleB and ahorse
and a wagon and buggy.
Mr. Land and his family were awak
ened by tho cries of the Negroes on
the plaoe, and when they looked In the
direction of the stookade the entire
building was enveloped In flames.
The fire had reached the fodder and
hay, and everything being so dry, it
burned rapidly. Before anything
could be done the building eollapscd,
roasting alive the mules and horse
that were looked in their stalls.
Parties coming into the city on
Saturday from the Land neighborhood
say that there ean be no doubt as to
tho fire being of Incendiary origin,
but as yet there Is no oluc as to the
guilty party or parties.
The loss falls very heavily upon Mr.
Land at this time. He bad no Insur
ance on any of the property.
A few days ago Mr. Land was in tho
olty and remarked to a l'rlend that
“Once more, I am even with the world.
I have paid all my debts, and have a
pretty good start for another year.”
The Herald learns that wholesale
Incendiary attempts have been made
in Fast Dougherty of late.
The burning of the Everett stockade
a short time ago will be remembered
by the readers of the IIicrald, and it
is thought that a portion of the gang

very high in the Land neighborhood,
and if the fire bugs are caught they
will probably be dealt with in a sum
mary manner.

a Bad Conflagration.
A fire alarm was turned into the cen

utes after 2 o’olook, and was located at
the Jay Bird compress, in the second
ard.
The department was out In a re
markably short space of time, and laid
a lino of huso up to the south edge of
Hie platform of tho press, where about
thirty bales of cotton were blazing
and smoking. Thu press hands had
thrown most of this number to tho
ground, and some elfeotive work with
a good stream of water soon had the
fire out.
The csoape of the press and several
hundred bnles of cotton was a narrow
one.
Warren Hurd, one of the colored
employes of the press, was struok in
tho face with the powerful stream of
water, and one of his eyes consider
ably hurt, though no surgloal atten
tion was neoessary.

Who te n Mauler of the Piano.
Last Friday night, nbout 9 o’oiock,
Officers Mooney and Kemp received
a telephone message to go to the de
pot at once.
When the offloers reached the depot
they were informed by Mr. Geo. M
Munks. a traveling man from Atlanta,
that ills fine overcoat had been stolen
very mysteriously from the waiting
room.
Immediately the alert-officers went
to work on whatever olue they could
get. In less than an hour they dis
covered that the Negro who Stole the
overcoat was named Charley Jaokson,
a bright mulatto Negro refugee from
Brunswick.
Jackson had confiscated the over
coat in the regular thief style, brought
it up town and sold it to another Ne
gro by the name of Judge Scurry for
$1.50.
Owing to the good work of the offi
cers, the overcoat was recovered and
returned to its owner. The $1.50 was
also recovered and given to Scurry.
But Jackson didn’t fare bo well. He
was summarily locked in a cell at the
county jail, and will remain there un
til the County Court decides what to
do with him.

A dead body paoked in a bale of cot
ton. That was the report that oame
up from one of the cotton yards near
the Central depot yesterday morning,
and naturally it created a genuine sen
sation.
Within a very short time a orowd of
eager spectators bad gathered about
the suspected cotton bale from which
a sickening stenoh emanated, and all
were thoroughly convinced that the
murdered form of some man, woman
or child was secreted therein.
The bale containing tbe dead body
was rolled away to a secluded spot,
followed by the crowd of anxious spec
tators. The iron ties were quickly out
and the cotton carefully removed, the
stench becoming greater as the work
proceeded. By this time tbe crowd
numbered nearly 100, and eager exr
pectancy was stamped upon every
face.
Finally, the center of the bale was
reached, but instead of the ghastly
form of some beautiful maidea only
the cold and fragile remains of a de

Slocum is a Negro pianist of remark
able natural ability. He is a native of
Goldsboro, N. C. Four years ago lie
began practicing on the piano, at odd
times, whfle be was employed as a
mattress-maker. Later on he became
famous in that community for his
wonderful musical talent. He was
then oooupylng a position as bell boy
in a hotel. The Hobinson family at
Goldsboro have long been famous in
that section for their remarkable mus
ical talent. Furney,being at times a
servant of the Robinson family, soon
became familiar with all the pieces
played by the different members of
the family. He surprised them on one
ooeasion when there was a gathering
of friends at the reside noe, after ob
taining permission to piny a piece on
the piano, by rendering the most
delightful music they had ever heard
from the noted musicians of this
country. His exquisite touch and fas
cinating expression, used in the most
difficult pieoes, won for him the admi
ration of all present. He had never
reoeived a lesson or the slightest in
structions in instrumental musio and
was totally ignorant of the notes or
any part of musio. Three yearB ago
at Savannah he was requested to play
tbe piano at a theatrical performance.
He delighted the audience and was
frequently applauded. He then went
to Brunswick, where he was given $9
a week to play a piano In a barroom,
He filled that position until tbe yellow
fever broke out the second time, and
he then oame to Waycross after having
been detained at Camp Haines ten
days. He Is now a bell boy at the
Southern hotel. He is 27 years old,
His wonderful powers as a musician
are also evinced by tbe faot that he
has composed several pieces of delight
ful music.
There have been times when a oourt
was splondld and nearly starving and
kings were magnifloent who could
have understood the position nnd felt
the pride of the master of Rnvcns-
wood, but all that has passed away,
probably forever, says the London
Spectator. The prince of to-day who
is to be magnificent at nil, who is to be
free in his movements, to take trains
when he likes to entertain like any
dignitary, to show good horses nnd
many of them, to keep servants suffi
cient to Bcoure that guestB accustomed
to luxury be not neglected, to travel
when lie pleases, to patronize art, to
encourage charity nnd to live when
necessary among equal prinoos, as be-
oomes the nation he represents, must
pay away money at every turn and al
ways be ready with more. Every
thing oopts, from the speoial train
which secures punctuality and free
dom from pressure, to the rooniB
whloh loyal or hospitable orowding
render exceptionally dear.
It is all very well to speak of good
management, and, of oourse, there is
such a thing, nnd it is worth perhaps
80 per cent, of additional income. But
no extent of good management will
reduce the oost of any kind of mag-
niflcence, or do ntvay witli tho feuling
of the innkeeper who charged a royal
guest a frnno apiece for eggs, not be
cause eggs were scarce, but beenuse
kings were. We have heard of charges
paid by an I-dinn vloe-royal at a raids
hotel whioh would have made Mr,
Vanderbilt wince, nnd there is not an
uneducated man in any land who, if a
prince disputes his charges, docs not
become thenoeforwnrd a Republican.
Nor within limits is this feeling alto
gether unreasonable, for tile demands
of princes, wliiob are usually only de
mands for freedom, upset the usual
routine just as the queen’s train,
though her majesty asks only a little
extra security and some privaoy, up
sets tbe routine traffic on the great
railway by whioh she travels.
Moreover, though extravagance is a
vice, economy is often a foible, and
one rather sympathizes with the hint
given by tho noble who assisted Louis
Phillipe in his search after a lost
sovereign by lighting a bank note.
State, in faot, in our day costs money,
and it is as expensive to be a prince,
as to be a spendthrift heir.
