Albany Nelos and Advertiser: Col. Mel.
son lift, who has been confined to his room
tor several days with pneumonia, was much
better Friday morning. On Thursday
evening his temperature was LOG, and his
family felt very anxious about his condL
ton. Knowing that a person at hil
advanced age finds il hard TO contend with
an attack OF pneumonia, aud his tempera-
ture beiag so high his children and grand
children we're notified by members of
the family 10 expect the worst. Their fears
were allayed, though, by Col. Tiff passing
the night in a refreshing sleep, and Fri
day morning he alarmed his wife, about 6
o'clock, With the announcement that be was
going TO take cold bath. Mrs. Tiff would
not listen to IL at all and sought to get DIR.
DAVIS there in time to prevent
lutte and rising from his bed he in
dulged in good, cold bath. He was much
better all day that day and what would
have been regarded as a fatal experiment
by Others seemed to have had good offect
on him. Col. Tiff is man of wonderful
vitality and lt is safe to say that no man In
Georgia of his age is as strong and healthy.
tbs early recovery is expected.
Macon Telegraph: Tue outlook is that
the courts will furnish On abundance of in
teresting suits, brought about by the recent
fire at the oar shed. These suits will como
about over claims for baggage, of which
there are many. Already scores of claims
have been filed with the different roads. and
In each instance il Is surprising to learn
! now well some people dressed and what
valuable articles of jewelry and other
things they carry about in their trunks.
In one instance a claim for trunk is
sent In at 81 .l00 aud several others are
Tor almost as large amounts. A majority
OF these claims are being returned aud a
courteous letter sent in reply, to the effect
| that, ION investigation, 1t has been found
that your trunk, bearing check No. -,
was checked at - and was delivered in
| macon one week, two weeks or a mouth
prior to the fire; thereby allowing ample
time for its removal The company, there
fore. does not consider itself liable, and re-
fuses your claim" An official OF one Of the
| roads said yesterday that this is the plan to
be pursued in all such instances, and that
| wnen reasonable time had been allowed
Tor the removal Of baggage no claim for
It's loss would be paid. When, however
baggage had just arrived or was IN the DEPOT
Tor transportation elsewhere the claim
would be willingly paid This official stated
that there is no time specified by law for the
removal OF baggage, as many suppose, but
THAT the roads would determine this IN pass
lag upon the different claims. Usually
these claims are sent in through lawyers,
who come prepared to have either the money
or a la wsult, and many are being promised
the latter.
Albany Nelos and Advertiser: The
identity OF the little white baby that was
left at the home OF Felix Willis ia known.
AT least, circumstances of very positive
nature point to certain young woman as
the mother OF the child. Several months
ago young girl from neighboring county
came to the city aud took quarters with
very plain people In a secluded part of the
city. There are parties living In the city
who know her and know her family. They
saw her frequently. but suspecting that all
was not right and fearing that their reco9-
milton would be embarrassing they held
themselves at reserved distance This
young woman has not been seen in public
mere Tor about six weeks. Those who knew
ner looked upon this as the natural seclu-
SION that would be enforced by the crisis
through which she would pass aud paid bus
nstle attention TO 1t. But when the Neus and
Advertiser published the article showing
the disposition Of the little babe few DAYS
ago. casting 1t upon the world, and il And.
Ing Its way into the hands of negroes. one
OF the parties who had seen this Young
woman here at once suspected her. This
party knew where she had been stopping
and In quiet way he inquired at |
that house to know If the Young |
woman was still there. He found |
that she had gone, and no trace |
OF her whereabouts could be obtained He |
inquired of other parties who had seen this |
young woman in the city, but they were |
ignorant OF her Whereabouts and had not |
seen her for weeks. This confirmed the |
suspicious that had been aroused in his |
mind and he thinks that the sudden dlsao- |
psarance OF this woman is a strong ciroum-
stance that points to her as the mother Of the |
babe recently disposed of. The vounp |
womans family is held in high esteem |
where they live. aud for prudential reasons |
her name is withheld 1t is to be hoped |
That her shame is Swallowed 30 that the pub |
lie gaze will be sheltered therefrom and |
that the false step thus taken will be TO her |
lesson that in future will cause her to |
walk uprightly all through life,
