UNION & RECORDER,
Milledgeville, Juke 15, 1886.
On Saturday last additional coun
ties selected delegates to the guberna
torial convt n‘ion. The Macon Tele
graph, after embodying the result in
its table of delegate's, thus far chosen,
reports the number of Bacon votes at
44 and the anti-Bacon votes at 02.
The anti-Bacon votes, however, are
not all for Gordon, 6 from Burke
conntv alone being for J. J. Jones.
Gordon it is to be noted made a gain of
eight votes on Saturday last.
The Macon Telegraph says that
owing to the amount of flint rock
through which Mr. Clay ■ has been
steadily boring for the past month,
the artesian well at the park will be
abandoned. It says however that a
large number of citizens desire to have
a well sunk on Poplar street, near
the City Halland several citizens have
informed mayor Price that they will
contribute to a well in that locality.
They do not anticipate any difficulty
in going down at that point and the
Mayor will call upon the subscribers to
the park well and if the money can
be made up the work will be underta
ken.
Defeat of the Home Ri le Bill.
—Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule Bill
was defeated in the House of (com
mons at the 2nd vote on the 7tli. we
need not go into any long argument
on the subject. The truth is the ma
jority are afraid to trust the Irish
With*Home Rule. We have frequent
ly presented our views on the subject
and there is nothing new' to say.
Mr. Gladstone has appealed to the
Parliament to give justice to Ireland.
The noisy mob in the Parliament
have succeeded in defeating the meas
ure bv the lowest and meanest appeals
to the members. The next step will
be Mr. Gladstone's appeal to the peo
ple of England. We believe he will
succeed with them. The majority of
the English people will not be afraid
to take a step within wdiicli virtue
and rational liberty will find a majori
ty of supporters. The question is in-
teresting to all good men and patri
ots and there are enough to sustain
the great old man in his holy cause.
Tin- vote was for the Bill 311, against*
it 341. _
Death of Me. E. E. Browx.—
The Macon Telegraph of Sunday last
announced the death of Mr. Elipha-
kt E. Brown, which occurred the day
before at the residence of his daugh
ter. Mrs. Kibbee in Macon.
This gentleman had been a resident
of Macon since 1820. and was a most
useful and honored citizen of that
place. The Telegraph gives a con
densed history of his life in which he
ir shown to have been a gallant sold
ier in the Seminole war of 1830. being
it member of the Macon Volunteers,
and to have been specially compli
mented by Gen'l. Winfield Scott for
“an extraordinary feat of gallantry,
hardship and danger.” He was for a
number of years a merchant in Ma
con and was the projector and pro
prietor of the noted ‘Brown House,’
near the passenger depot. He lived
the life of a useful aud honored citi
zen and his death, which occurred at
the age of seventy-three, will be a
source of general and sincere regret
to his fellow-citizens. His family losses
bv death have been severe, but a son
and tive daughters yet remain of what
wa>- once a large family.
A Remarkable Mortuary Report.
—The Health Officer’s mortuary re
port for the week that closed Friday
is calculated to attract attention and
excite comment. The report showg
that the entire number of deaths was
51. The number of deaths of white
people was 0 and of colored people
35. Of the colored people 33 were
children under 10 years of age. Of
the white people 5 were children un
der 10 years of age. The death rate
per 1,000 per annum was 12.10 forthe
white and 122.04 for the colored peo
ple.
This death rate among the colored
children is something remarkable. It
suggests the question, why is it that
There is such a great difference be
tween the death rates of the white
and colored children? The colored
children are not as well cared for as
the white children are, but is the dif
ference in the death rate wholly dueto
the difference in the care bestowed up
on the children of the two races.
There is no epidemic prevailing
among the children of either race.
Measles were The cause of the death
of seven of the colored children, but
the nwud>er of deaths from any oilier
disease wn>- not above four.
The number of deaths among the
colored people was almost eight times
ie great as that among the white
people, or. as the report shows, that
the colored death rate was ten times
as great as the white death rate.—Sa
vannah News.
Card loving circles have a new game,
which bids fair to pin progressive
euchre to the wall. It is decidedly :
the jolliest game of cards yet inven- |
ted. It is called ‘'Hearts,' and is i
somewhat similar to whist, except
that the essential element of the game
is to have no hearts left in your hand
or in the tricks that you may have
captured at the conclusion of the
game. The cards are dealt as in whist;
suit must be followed. There is no
trump—the idea of each player being
to get rid of all the hearts he may
have and avoid being compelled to
take in any of his neighbors. In the
effort to do this consists the fun. Any
w hist player can see how easily he can
be loaded up with his neighbor’s
hearts if he have long suits of other
cards or high cards of any kind. At
the conclusion of the playing the
pla\ er who has been saddled with the
few est hearts rakes in the pot, which
is a chip for each heart—or thirteen in
all One beauty of the game is that,
unlike whist, one can chatter and talk
am. the dreadful struggle to avoid
capturing hearts leads to no end of
merriment.
Poetry or no Poetry.
An anonymous writer has sent us
by the mail some verses on the death
of that beloved Christian and faithful
laborer in liis Master’s cause, the Rev.
Dr. J. C. Evans. The verses indicate
a reverential love for the deceased
that is most commendable in the wri
ter, but the latter is evidently a no
vice in the matter of writing poetry
and it would take much more time
and labor to correct the lines and put
them in shape for publication than
we can devote to such a purpose.
Those who attempt to write poetry
shouldremember that the lines should
have some regularity as regards their
length—or the number of accented
svllables they contain and that when
it is attempted to make the lines
rhyme in some verses, it should he
done in those that follow. The mere
writing of four lines, and commenc
ing each with a capital letter, with
out regard to their length—saying
nothing of their sentiment and mean-
ing-is far from writing poetry. Very
few', perhaps not one in a hundred
of the ordinary readers of a newspa
per, are capable of writing a piece of
poetry, which would be desired by an
editor as a valuable contribution to
his columns.
We write the ?above in a spirit of
the utmost kindness to the writer of
the lines above alluded to and to all
others who have an ambition to see
their compositions in print. They
should remember that an editor can
scarcely ever speak frankly to a wri
ter concerning his contribution which
lie desires to have printed. The van
ity or self esteem of the writer would
be too much wounded, and the editor
has too much kindness of heart to
speak freely what his mere judgment
would often times lead him to say.
Fatal Accident on the Central It. It.
On Monday night of last week the en
gine and tender of the night Express
train of the Central R. It. w’erethrown
from the track at Rogers, (No. 8A) and
the Engineer,! Mr. Tlios. Pendergast
was very seriously and the fireman.
Mr. Charles Maddox fatally injured.
As soon as the conductor and others
could reach the place they found that
a block or billet of wood had been
tightly wedged in the frog of the
turnout. “The engine mounted the
track but soon rolled off and ran a
distance of four car lengths, one side
on the ties and the other on the
ground, when it turned over and was
partially buried in the sand. The en
gineer was seated on his box and by
the turning over of the engine was
thrown to the opposite side. The
fireman was on the Engineer's side of
the engine and was caught by the
tender which crashed into the cab.”
The conductor found him “in the
most horrible situation. A rail from
the side track had in some way been
torn up from the track and forced
through the floor of the cab. It liad
gone through the fireman's body,
striking about the Avaist, literally pin
ning him in position. The right foot
had been forced against the lire box,
and Avas burned off. In addition to
this, lie Avas held between the cab
and tender so that lie could not move
in any way." Notwithstanding these
terrible injuries, he Avas alive Avlien
found and lived for three hours after-
Avard. He begged those ayIio Avere
Avorking to release him to knock him
in the head and end his sufferings,
and his cries were piteous. When af
ter three hours the men moved the
tender sufficiently to release him, the
poor fellow breathed his last.
The engineer in the meantime had
been taken care of. When taken out
of the Avrecked cab, it was found that
his left leg Rad been terribly crushed
by the tender being forced on the en
gine. A physician found that he had
received many slight injuries, but
none serious except the leg, which it
was believed would have to be ampu
tated.
The above account we have con
densed from the Macon Telegraph’s
report in its issue of the 9th instant.
We were rejoiced to see in the Tele
graph of the 10th, that there is a
prospect of bringing this most atro
cious crime home to its perpetrators.
Hanging is by no means a punish
ment proportioned to their villainy,
if they are really guilty. The Tele
graph says:
REPORTED ARREST OF THE WRECKERS.
It was reported yesterday among
tlie railroad men that tAvo Avhite men
had been arrested at Rogers on sus
picion of having placed the billet of
wood in the frog which caused the
Avrecking of the passenger train at
that point on Monday night. These
men borrowed a hatchet from the sec
tion boss Monday afternoon, and this
hatchet was found near the wreck.
These men had been in the employ of
the road and Avere discharged one day
last week. They were taken to Milieu
for safe keeping.
Later advices show that it was the
lever of the locomotive and not a rail
from the side track, which mangled
the body of the fireman.—Ed. U. A R.
One of the Surviving Seven.—
Macon, June 9.—[Special to the Con
stitution.]—The serious illness of Mr.
E. E. Brown recalls to mind that he is
one of the seven survivors of the Ma
con Volunteers, who left here on a
pole boat, ninety-one strong, to fight
the Seminoles in 1835. Of the remain
ing ones, Thomas A. Blount, Mr.
Berkely, and Joseph E. Wells reside
in Macon; Judge J. C. C. Clark in
Dawson; Captain Shelton ini Atlanta,
and James Cain in Jones county. All
the boys have passed aw'ay but these
seven, and now Mr. Brown is thought
to be too ill to last much longer. It
is a long way back to the days of
Bowlegs and ’35. It covers the space
of half a century, and in a£few years
more the last of the veterans will
pass, like their foes, “across the riv
er.”
A woman cannot love a man Avith

little of her affection for millinery.

Lucy Cobb Commencement.
The commencement sermon Avas
preached on the 0th by Rev. Dr. An
drew Lipscomb with that intellectu
al power and splendor of diction for
which he so remarkable.
The exercises of the school began on
Monday night the 7th and notwith
standing its inclemency every availa
ble seat was filled to witness the exer
cises of the little folks. “Lilliput
Land” consisting of songs and recita
tions Avere full of the most pleasing and
mirth provoking scenes. The whole
scenery of Pinafore Palace in Lilliput
Land Avas good and exhibited the skill
in all of its details and the great de
gree of credit to Avhich those were en
titled w r ho designed and managed it.
The calisthenics followed and were
gone through with regularity and uni
formity.
The Junior exercises opened Avith a
piano duet by Misses Blanche Hill
and Barnett, showing a high degree of
cultivation. The dialogue between
Misses Livy Cobb, Lee and Watkins,
on Woman’s Rights was well receved.
Next came a beautiful piano duet,
“Defile March,” by Misses Kate Ruth
erford are Cornelia Jackson.
Miss Laura Morgan in her recita
tion of my Grand-mother's Album elic
ited a round of applause.
Miss Livy Cobb’s recital of “A Scene
in a North Carolina Court Room” Avas
well received. When she came to that
part of the testimony of the Avitness
in which speaking of his Avife’s cross
ing the river, he said, “My Avife like a
dam-fool, lifted up her dress and wa-
ded through” the cheering Avas im
mense.
Miss Blanche Lipscomb’s A'ocal solo,
“Old Street Lamp,” elicited a round
of applause.
Misses Barrett and Peters rendered
in good style the duet, “Fantaise
Militaire.”
Miss Cordelia Watkins took in the
the house with “Mr. Schmidt’s Mis
take.”
Miss Fannie Clark and Miss Belle
Hill sang a beautiful duet, “The Night
Mililotte.” Both have very SAveet
voices. The Avriter from whom Ave
make up our Aveak report was certain
ly enthused, especially by Miss Clark,
Avhose singing he says was angelic.
Miss Blanche Lipscomb recited in
her inimitable Avay “The Elocution
Lessons.” Miss Blanche exhibits in
all her intellectual efforts that trait of
mind w’liich Lytton says is the high
est indicia of superior mental endow
ments, earnestnes.
Misses Watkins, Hunnicutt and
Clark rendered in good style the piano
trio “Anvil Chorus de Verdi.”
Miss Kate Rutherford’s recitation,
‘Becalmed’, was all that could be wish
ed for. Miss Kate is a highly accom
plished and talented young lady, and
she recites in a Avav that shows that
she is well skilled and trained in the
beautiful art of elocution. All praise
to iier.
M iss May Lee read a composition,
i ‘‘The boys", in a Avav that drew con-
j siderable applause. * The exercises
j closed Avith the “Junior Colloquy,”
which Avas Avritten by Miss May Lee.
The piece Avas highly enjoyed by ev
ery one present, and* reflected credit
: on the composer and all who partici
pated in its rendition.
The arn:ual concert on Tuesday
night gaA'e mirth and joy to the whole
• audience.
The young ladies filed in to the mel
low notes of the “Marche Triomphola.”
; skillfully executed by Miss Mell at the
organ.
We cannot at this late hour do more
i than refer to the beautiful perform
ance of the Misses Goodw'in, Morgan,
| Williams, and Sallie May Hill, in the
■ Teusal Polonaise ; Miss Wimberly in
j in the solo, “Reveil du Lion.”
Misses Clarke, Watkins, Alexander,
and Tar water delighted the critics
with the Marche der Wichtelmanner.
The quavers and trills were exceeding
ly well executed.
Miss Jackson of Atlanta sweetly
j sang “Where did you come from?”
I The duett by Misses Barker and How
ell was finely executed. Miss Good
win’s Si Tu Suvais was exquisite.
; T> Miss L. Barnett gave Le Chant des
Niades and was highly praised.
| The quartette Satanella, by Misses
1 Alexander, Hunnicutt, Lipscomb, and
Pearson, was simply grand. Miss
Mary Hutchins won much praise with
j “When ’tis moonlight.”
| Misses Rutherford and I. M. Mell
; performed the duet by Jackson, Qui-
va-la, which for expression equaled
anything Ave have ever heard.
J The trio by Smart, “Rest Thee on
This Mossy Pillow,” w r as touchingly
rendered by Misses Hill, Goodwin, and
j Alexander. Misses Barnett and AVil-
i liams gave the duet, “A Tonte Va-
j peur,” by Jackson.
| THE CLOSING SCENES ON WEDNESDAY.
The graduatiug class consists of 20
in all. The essays and recitations of
all were fine and exhibited careful
j study and preparation. In our next
issue we will give a full account of
I the last days proceedings. This ex-
j tension of time is caused bv several
j days of severe illness of the Editor of
I the Union & Recorder. This he
j much regrets as he takes a great in-
I terestin the Institution and he knows
that at this late day a full report
! would be received too late for inser-
! tion in the paper he represents.
J Perhaps the most exciting exercises
! of the whole commencement season
Avere those of Wednesday morning be
ing the prize contest for the elocution
medals. There are two medals a-
warded, one for the advanced classes
and one for the Primary class, the for
mer being presented by Mr. J. W.
Stevens of Atlanta.
These medals were delivered to the
successful contestants Wednesday
night by Professor Wilcox of the
University. The Professor in his usu
al happy style gave a neat, concise
talk quite apropos of the occasion im
pressing upon the whole audience the
great truth that failure to accomplish
one end in vieAv, frequently insures
the success of another and finally held
the audience in death like stillness by
announcing the successful contestant
as Miss—hesitating a few seconds—the
reigning silence needed but the pro
nouncing of a single name, Miss Nora
Palmer, to change all into deafening
applause. The Miss Palmer is from
Washington, Ga., and has ever since
her connection with the Lucy Cobb
Institute been noted for her fine elo
cutionary talents.
The Primary medal Avas awarded to
little Miss Julia Lumpkin, of Athens,
amidst the plaudits of the well satis
fied audience. The delivery of Diplo-
plomas and the following benediction
by the Rev. Dr. Lane, closed one of
the most brilliant of the cherished
Lucy Cobb Institute's Commence
ment exercises.
TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION.
We had not the space yesterday to
speak as fully as w r e desired of the
technological examinations of the
Colored Atlanta University.
Without undervaluing the literary
course, we frankly state that the tech
nological features of this institution
are its most valuable ones. And we
are equally frank to say that these
features present something for general
imitation in all our seminaries of learn
ing both white and colored.
Sewing and cooking are taught the
females, and the specimens of work
shown demonstrated the care of teach
er and the application of the pupil.
Garments of every kind, cut and made
by the pupils, Avere exhibited, while
the cooked food, the bread, cakes and
pastry Avere good.
The males showed excellent instruc
tion in farming, gardening and the
use of tools. Mr. Sessions taught the
former and Mr. Turner the tool work.
The display of products included 00
kinds of grasses, corn, oats, rye, bar
ley. sugar cane, fruits, vegetables of
all kinds, clover, etc.
The work Avith Avood tools was
gratifying. Forty young men show
ed a remarkable proficiency in their
use, and displayed specimens of their
skill. A variety of articles made by
them Avas on exhibition. The boys
showed also a fine knowledge of using
turning lathes.
This is on the right line, and should
be Avidened. It is proposed to add a
printing establishment to teach the
hoys about type.
The board of visitors Avas greatly
interested in this feature of the col
lege.
We repeat that the experiment is a
most interesting one and presents the
solution of the best practical educa
tion.—Atlanta Capitol.
The Code of Honor.—The old
code of honor has played out. It had
its use in its day as a corrective of the
frailties of a too bumptious nature,
and doubtless Avas not an unmixed
evil. But, however that may be, it
has gone to its grave unwept, unhon-
ored, and unsung. It Avould be well,
however, to supply the place made
vacant by falling into innocuous de
suetude of that institution for the
settling of differences between gentle
men, by the erection of a court of
honor, to which gentlemen may sub
mit alleged grievances, they agreeing
to be bound by its decision. Most
cases of differences are capable of be
ing settled by such an appeal. For '
instance, suppose that three gentle- I
men in each judicial circuit in the j
State should be designated by com- |
mon consent as fit persons to consti- j
ture a court for the adjustment of !
such delicate business. We could sug- !
gest the names of three gentlemen in !
this district to Avliom AA’e suppose a!-
most any man, no matter how solici- i
tous he may be about his honor,
would be willing to defer. The same
might be done for every judicial dis- •
trict, and instead of the principals un
der the code putting their honor in ;
the hands of one man, they would, bv
acknowledging the court of honor,
confide it to the keeping of three.—Ra- *
leigli (N. C.) News.
The marriage of Justice Stanley
Mathews, of the supreme court of the
United States, to Mrs. Mary K. Thea-
ker, widow of ex-Judge T. C. Theaker,
of Ohio, will take place in New York i
on Wednesday, June 23. Justice and |
Mrs. Mathews will sail on the same i
day for Europe, where they will re
main until October.
Maxwell, the murderer of Preller,
has been found guilty. He will doubt
less hang. In the meantime Cluverius
languishes in Richmond jail charged
with the murder of Lillian Madison.
He too will likely hang.
And now it leaks out that Dr. Sun
derland, in marrying the president
and Miss Folsom, left out the word
“obey.” He thinks “honor” covers
the case. This version gives Frankie
the drop on Grover should any domes
tic squalls arise.
The oats and wheat crops we are
glad to learn are turning out better
than was anticipated.—Sandersville
Herald.
The Hard Rock.—Macon, June 9.
—[Special to the Constitution.]—Mr.
Tube Clay has penetrated the solid
blue flint rock at the park at the
depth of forty or fifty feet. He has
tried three s<frts of steel, from the £11
per pound of the finest temper to or
dinary grades, and he cannot find
any that will make a drill hard enough
to last any length of time. The rock
appears to be a solid vein, of which
forty feet has been pierced, and no
one can give a guess at how much
further it will hold out. Still Mr.
Clay, though losing money on the
well, Avill go on pecking away accord
ing to contract. He has promised to
get water and says he is going to have
it. The difficulty of boring may be
imagined when one remembers that
Avith alittl£4Hncli drill he|is only able
to bore sirinches per day.
The Big Levee.—Macon, June 9.
—[Special to the Constitution.]—The
experience of the late flood has taught
the authorities that there is no use
blinking at the question of protecting
the city park from inundation if they
would preserve this beautiful place in
tact. The gradual filling in of the
river, and the frequent changes in the
course of the channel, make it liable
to be inundated at any time.
Tlie county commissioners have al-
loAved the city the use of McGee's
chaingang for a week or two, and a
good many outside hands have been
employed, and the work of raising a
le\'ee along the river’s bank is going
ahead at a lively rate. Eventually
the whole of the Ioav lands, immediate
ly south ol the city, xvill be so protect
ed and reclaimed.
AVe have opened to-day a beautiful
line of lace flounciug, savi'ss and mull
embroidery, wide, nice patterns, for
commencement dresses. Come before
they are all sold.
