At Macon Wednesday morning about
$3.50 o'clock q gentleman was returning
home from the depot. AS be was proceed
ing his attention was attracted by very
disa9reeable 0rdor that rose and filled
the atmosphere. 1t WIS the Ordor that is
only peculiar to dead bodies, and rs the
wind was blowing directly towards him
thought rather strangely of it, but sus-
pected nothing. He proceeded on his way
until he reached the mouth of an alley,
when the ordOr became more intense. 1t
was almost insutierable, and he paused
for a moment to see If he could discover
where it came from. While thus engaged
a gentleman going in the opposite direc-
ton met him, and detecting the ordOr
stopped. The two then began to discuss the
of footsteps was heard, and soon two ne
groes were seen coming from a garden
near by with an Obong box. The negroes
did not pass Immediately by the men, but
went towards the northern part OF the
city. Chase could not be given to the ne
grOes, as the start was too great. They
were allowed to pursue their way unmO-
lested-the gentleman first arriving upon
tae scene having determined to report at
police headquarters what he had seen.
