HAPPENINGS OF THE PAST WEEK
Sensational Scene In the Mulberry Street
Methodist Church, at Macou—During the
Progress of a Storm at Columbus a
Young Lady Ig Knocked Down by Light
ning and Seriously Injured.
Macon, Aug. 24.—Rev. Dr. Alonzo
Monk, the pastor of the Mulberry Street
Methodist church, and Reporter Tilden
Adamson of the Macon Telegraph, were
the principals in a sensational scene at
the church Sunday night. During the
services Dr. Monk said he thought it
justice to himself and to his church he
should make a statement relative to the
sermon he preached on Aug. 16 against
the saloons of Macon and the happen
ings that have followed this sermon.
In the sermon last Sunday night, Dr.
Monk was specially severe on the vau
deville that runs in connection with
Putzell’s saloon, and made strictures
against the moral character of the per
formers.
On Monday the mayor ordered the
vaudeville closed, based on the denunci
ation of Dr. Monk. On the following
night, however, the mayor revoked his
order and allowed the vaudeville to open
on the representation of the actors and
actresses that they were persons of good
character and had been unjustly as
sailed by Dr. Monk.
The Telegraph published an account
of Dr. Monk’s sermon, and also pub
lished cards from several of the vaude
ville performers.
Dr. Monk said he thought The Tele
graph had done him a great injustice
and had allowed its columns to be used
by persons of questionable character to
attack him. It is said that the doctor
was quite emphatic in his criticism on
The Telegraph. Reporter Adamson
says that Dr. Monk, in the course of his
remarks, made use of the following ex
pression: “A low, designing person”
and employed it in such connection that
Adamson thought that the doctor re
ferred to him.
As soon as the services were ended
and the congregation was leaving the
church, young Adamson went to Dr.
Monk in the pulpit and demanded, so it
is said, an explanation of Dr. Monk’s
remarks. Adamson asked Dr. Monk if
he referred to him as “a low, designing
person.” Dr. Monk replied that he did
not, and if Adamson so thought he was
laboring under a misapprehension. Ad
amson was satisfied and started to de
scend the steps of the pulpit when Dr.
Monk addressed him about to this effect:
“Young man, I understand that you
said that I would hold vyu to personal
account and responsibility if ever you
mentioned my name in The Telegraph
again?”
Adamson replied that Dr. Monk had
so told him. Dr. Monk denied that he
had said any such thing.
At this point the statements of what
then passed between Adamson and Dr.
Monk differ. Dr. Monk says that Adam*
son called him a liar. Adamson says
that he told Dr. Monk that he must not
say that he—Adamson—told a lie.
It is said that when the “lie” was
passed, the two men clinched. Several
gentlemen present went to the rescue
and Dr. Monk told them to put Adam
son out of the pulpit and out of church,
and in the scuffie several blows, it is
said, were passed, young Adamson get
ting his face bruised.
A Young Lady Struck by Lightning.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 24.—During the
progress of a thunderstorm here light
ning struck the 2-story residence of Mr.
J. S. Morris, on Rose Hill. The struct
ure was partially demolished by the
bolt, and that none of the occupants
were killed is remarkable. The furni
ture in two or three rooms was shat
tered and Miss Annie Morris, who was
in one of the apartments on the second
floor, was knocked down by the shock,
but was not seriously injured.
No Fair at Macon This Year.
Macon, Aug. 22.—The Georgia State
Agricultural society has decided not to
hold a state fair this year, but it is un
derstood that the society will hold a fair
next year at Hawkinsville in connection
with the Wiregrass Exposition company,
which holds annual expositions at Haw
kinsville. Hon. J. Pope Brown is presi
dent of both institutions, and he will
doubtless make the joint exposition a
great success.
Established a Relief Department.
Savannah, Aug. 22.—The Plant sys
tem of railways has established a hos
pital and relief department, member
ship in which will be a requisite to em
ployment iu any department of the sys
tem after Jan. 1, 1897. About 3,500 of
5,500 employes of the system have al
ready become members of the relief de
partment. A stated amount is being
set apart from the wages for its maim
tenance.
Georgia Dairymen Elect Officers.
Macon, Aug. 22.—The third annual
convention of the Georgia Dairvmen’s
association has adjourned after a verv
interesting session of two days. The
old offi ers were elected as follows: R
J. Redoing, preside..t, Experiment, Ga. ;
R. E. Park, vice president, Macon; M
L. Duggan, secretary, Sparta; H. J.
VV ing, treasurer, Experiment.
Hanye Granted Another Respite.
Atlanta, Aug. 21.—Arthur Hanye,
who was to have hanged here Friday
for the murder of Will Spinks, was
granted a respite at the last moment by
Governor Atkinson. Friday, Sept 4
has been set as the date for "the execu
tion. Hanye s lawyers claim to have
discovered new evidence in favor of
their client.
Adamson Named to Succeed Moses.
Warm Springs, Ga., Aug. 21.—Judge
W. C. Adamson of Carroll was nomi
nated to succeed Hon. C. L. Moses as
congressman from the Fourth district.
The nomination was made on the two
hundred and thirty-ninth ballot.
; REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
Adopted by the Dalton District
Conference M. E. Church
July 23, 1896.
1 ho Methodist church stands for
total abst’nenco, and in opposition
to the licensed sa'e and manufac
ture of ardent spirits as a beverage.
As long as tlu traffic receives
the sanction by law, so long will
we by tongue and pen, by our pray
ers and votes enter our most sol
emn protest.
We consider tho license of tho
traffic by our general government
and by state law, a crime against
God and humanity.
We rejoice to know that there
is not a spot of ground within the
bounds of tho Dalton District
where liquor is sold by the sanction
of law. The Dalton District is a
prohibition district. Should wo
not do what and all we can to lib
erate other sections of our state,
from the curse and blight of tho
traffic; which causes thoimprison
ment, insanity, disease, suffering,
death and damnation, of so many
of our fellow beings.
We rejoice at what prohibition
has done. There are one hundred
prohibition counties in tho state.
Ninety-nine per cent of tho state’s
territory is under prohibitory law.
Tho legal sale is now driven into
sixty-ono towns with 766 whisky
saloons, these paying into tho pub
lic school fund $112,000, causing
us, in spite of ourselves, to educate
our children with what is nothin?
less than blood money. While the
traffic pays money into tho treas
ury of these municipalities and
pays $112,000 into the public school
fund, the people of Georgia pay
$14,000,000 one way and anotii r
to tho whisky business. $14,000,-
000 to debauch our sous and
daughters and receive back $112,-
000 to educate them. If the mon
ey spent for whisky in the last ten
years had been properly applied,
it Mould have endowed every insti
tution of learning and made edu
cation free.
The diabolical traffic pays large
sums of money into the general
government, making every citizen
a participant in the profits. This
forces us against our will into the
whisky business. Though the rev
enue is so large it costs the govern
ment immense sums of money to
regulate the traffic, besides, it costs
so much of ruin among the people.
Both in the state and general gov
ernment the whisky power has usi
by the throat. Shall we, a civil
ized Christian people, submit any
longer to this merciless, fearful,
diabolical oppression?
Great financial progress, social
good, domestic happiness and re
ligious prosperity will come to us I
if we will but wipe out this dark
blot on our great state.
Besides saving from ruin unnum-■
bered thousands, the abolition of I
the traffic will stop the waste of,
near half a million dollars.
More than Democracy, Ropnbli
canism or Populism, we need liber- I
ty—freedom from the direst curse '
that affiicts our people. More th an
free silver we need freedom from
this fearful evil. More than a sol
id gold basis we need a solid vote
for prohibition. We cannot un
derstand how a man can he a true
patriot, not to say a Christian, who
will vote for legislators who will
still saddle upon a suffering people
this curse of all curses.
We recommend all our people
in the coming election for legisla
tors both in the House and Senate
to vote on the prohibition side.
We most emphatically endorse
the Anti-barroom, or Bush bill
and conrtnen. . our people tov e
f or such candidates as favor the
enactment of said bill into law.
Your committee offer a resolu
tion, copied from the action of the
Georgia Baptist State Convention
substituting the word “Methodist” ,
for the word “Baptist.”
Resolved, That the Methodist
voters be urged to support no one
for the legislature who will not use
his influence in favor of some mea
sure looking to the suppression of
the liquor traffic iu this state.
Resolved, That we request the
publication of this report in all
the newspapers within the bounds
of the Dalton District.
W. A. Parks, Chairman.
MARSHAL LCHEVES DEAD.
A Young Man Well Known in
This Count}' Dies at His Home
In Montezuma.
Montezuma, Aug. 18.—Marshall
D. Cheves, the only son of Monte
zuma’s honored townsman, Hon.
O. C. Cheves, is dead. A shadow
of gloom has been east over the
little city by the announcement of
this sudden death.
This morning, as is his custom,
Mr. Cheves went into the room of
his son to wake him for breakfast.
Upon arriving at his bedside he
was. horrified to find him in the
last struggles of death. A physi
cian was hurriedly called but it
was too late—Marshall Cheves was
dead.
All day yesterday and last night
Marshall seemed in perfect health.
After supper he and his father
talked over the plans contempla
ted for tho future until about 8 o’-
clock, when he loft the house to
Gallon some young ladies. He
left them about 10 o’clock, seem
ingly in perfect health. Ho was
seen no more until his father found
him this morning.
He was 22 years of age, and a
bright, intelligent young man, Ho
was a social favorite with both old
and young, and bid fair to bo an
honor to his parents and country.
He had just completed his first
course of lectures in the medical
university of Virginia.
Mrs. Cheves, mother of the de
ceased is on a visit to her sister in
Rome, where she was notified of
her son’s death this morning. Mr.
Cheves, father of tho deceased, is
cashier of the bank at this place
and a brother-in-law of Hon. E.
B. Lewis, who buried his only son
a week ago.
The friends and entire commu
nity sympathize deeply with the
grief-stricken parents in the loss
of their only son and child. Par
alysis of the heart is supposed t
have been tho cause of death.
Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was used with
perfect success. Dysentery, when
epidemic, is almost as severe and
dangerous as Asiatic cholera.
Heretofore tho best efforts of the
most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages, this remedy,
however, has cured the most ma
lignant case, both of children and
adults, and under the most trying
conditions, which proves it to be
the best medicine in the world for
bowel complaints. For sale by 11.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOWTEE.Y PURE
A Victim of the Heat.
How does a man feel who is
smitten with what is called sun
stroke? During the past week
New York has had a large number
of partial victims iu addition to
those on whom the effect of the
sun’s heat has been fatal. One of
I these partial victims, Frank Mc-
Coy, tells the following story:
“I was standing on the street
corner about 2 o’clock in tho after
noon. My pulse had been high
all day and I was more or less op
pressed by the humidity. A great
many deaths had occurred in the
morning and on the day before,
and I thought the best thing for
me to do was to keep cool. 1 drank
a great quantity of ice water and
perspired freely. All the time,
though, my tongue was getting
very dry. I could not keep my
mouth cool.
“I drank no liquor because I
feared it would make me hotter
than I was. About 1:30 o’clock
my head began to throb and it
seemed just as though it would
burst. My tongue got heavier. A
feeling of exhaustion gradually
passed over my whole body, and I
grew weaker and warmer.
“Suddenly I felt my skin crack
ing on my’skull. 1 thought a
thousand pounds had dropped right
n top of my head and then a wave
of terrible heat swept over me, and
I put my arm out to steady myself.
That is all I can remember. The
next thing I knew I was in the
hospital and they were taking -me
out of a cold bath. They put me
m at 2 :05 o’clock and took me out (
at 3:30. Since then I have been
very weak and the shock has dulled
my head a little.”

New York’s Death List.
New York, Aug. 15-—ln the
week ending at noon today 1,810
persons died in this city, which is
J I
a greater number than ever known
for the same period of time. Six 1
hundred and fifty-one deaths were (
due to the heat alone, the death
rate being 48.65.
In the hot spells of 1872 and
1892, nothing like the mortality of

there were 212 cases of heat deaths.
In 1892 there were 261 cases of
sunstroke, or about one-third of
the mortality of this week.
A gentleman was visiting a
Scotch lunatic asylum, where new
premises wore being added. The
inmates were assisting. On seeing
one of the latter wheeling a barrow
upside down from the building to
the stones, the visitor asked him
why he wheeled it in that manner.
"Oh,” said the lunatic, “that’s the
best way./ The visitor took the
barrow, and, turning it upside
down, sa: I: “This is the proper
way.” “That’s all you ken,”£said
the inmate; “I triad it that way,
but they illLd it fu’ o’ bricks.” So
saying, he trotted on his usual
way
ALLIGATOR SENSE.
They Don’t Have Much Be
fore They Are 100 Years
Old.
“Do you know,” said Col. Ben
Cason, leaning back in his chair,
“that alligators are tho most affec
tionate creatures on earth! They’
re wonders. They’ve got more
sense than a dog.
“How do I know? Haven’t I
educated ’em? Ain’t there an al
ligator 110 years old in Des Alle
mand bayou that would work his
tail to the bone for me if I asked
him to? What are you laughing
at? You get a gallon of molasses
and a long-necked bottle and I’ll
show you how to tame alligators.
Its the easiest thing on earth.
They’re so affectionate.
“On June 23, 1885, I went to
Des Allemand bayou fishing. A
negro named Baptiste Fortier had
just caught an alligator 100 years
old. I could tell by the rings a
round him. You can’t train a
young alligator. 1 paid him $ 1.95
and Jim; that’s the alligator’s
name was mine. 1 put a chain a
round his neck.
“Then I got mo a long-necked
bottle, filled it with molasses and
walked up to him. Ho opened his
jaw to nab me. That was my
chance. I shoved the nock of tho
bottle in his mouth, just back of
his ears, where an alligator has no
teeth.
“I tilted the bottle up. Jim
tasted tho molassos aud began
wagging his tail. Ho broke Bap
tiste’s log, bat that was an acci
dent. He was as gentle as asottor
dog from tho minute he tasted tho
molasses.
“I taught him a lot of pretty
tricks—how to catch flies, how to
stand on his tail, how to chow to
bacco. Finally 1 harnessed him
up to a boat. Ho looked around
at mo to see what 1 wanted. I
reached over tho side of the boat
and pushed him a little. Then ho
understood. Off he went.
hen I pulled on tho rope I
had around his neck he was non
plussed for a minute, but ho soon
caught on, and now when I go to
Des Allemand’s I never have to
hire anybody to paddle my canoe.
Jim attends to carrying me any
where I want to go.
“Say, do you know, Jim is es
glad to see me whenever I pass
that way as if ho was a relative of
mine. What’s that? Os course,
its the truth. Ask Baptiste. He
takes care of Jim for me while I
am in Now Orleans.”—New Orleans
