I 10 eat, ana upon opening the door Sne uls-
covered him lying upon the floor d corpse.
His appearance plainly showed the agony
he had suffered. He was mass Of skin and
bones and his face was terribly shrunkeu.
He was buried by the city.
Mr.. Nussbaum, Macon's ex-wholesale
| merchant, who met with business reversea
about one year ago, is on his feet again. 10
Bib superior court Tuesday a final order
was passed directing that the receiver
turn over the stock and other property held
by him. Mr.. Nussbsum will again take
charge. For the present he goes in as trus-
tee, which is but preliminary step to-
ward full and complete settlement. The
verdict under which Judge Miller issued his
order shows that Nussbaum e. Co. have
settled the $118,000 of unpreferred debts at
30 cents on the dollar, and Mr.. Nussbaum's
note for per cent, due Dec. 81, 1892 This
gives them 50 per cent. OF the
original claim, which is considered by all a
| fine settlement for the creditors, as well as
fortunate for Mr.. Nussbaum. The pre-
| ferred creditors have received IS cents on
| the dollar cash for the $S4 900 due them.
| The court directs that Mr.. Nussbaum shall
| take charge of the stock as trustee to dis
pose of as he sees fit until he pays the pre-
ferred creditors the balance of 65 per cent
due them. MIR. Nussbaum hopes to be able
to pay this IN very short time, when all
will be clear. Mr.. Nussbaum intends to
| conduct the same large wholesale dry goods,
notions and shoe business as before.
Augusta Evening Net0s: A terrible and
sad accident occurred over In Beech Island
Monday. in which Randolph Tavel, the
16-year-old son Of Joseph Tavel a well-to-
been blowing in the field all day, and when
9 o'clock came he unhitched his mule from
the pillow and harnessed him up to ride up
to the house, which was not a great dis
tance off. The boy was In the field alone,
and how the accident actually occurred,
whether he was thrown from the mule or
whether the animal ran away as Randolph
was mounting is not known. The SUPPOSE
ton is that he was on the mule, and while
riding along the animal suddenly got fright
ened, ran away and threw the rider from off
his back Randolph was using the gear for
stirrups, and he evidently had bis foot
tangled up in the harness and could not
release II. After he was thrown the mule
continued on the excited run at a rapid
gait and dragged Randolph over the hard
ground and his head struck rocks and hard
clods Of earth and everything in the path.
The unfortunate boy was dragged about $50
yards. Mr.. Tavel had started from the
house for the field and had only got a short
distance when he saw the mule coming up
the road at a breakneck speed. At first he
did not see bis son, but when he got in the
seeing his boy with his foot up in the air
caught in the harness, and his body on the
ground. Mr.. Tavel rushed up TO Randolph,
but before he could loosen his foot from the
harness Randolph died. The boys skull
was crushed in and his entire body was
badly bruised.
Washington Chronicle: During the past
week workmen have been pulling down a
house in Washington, which is one Of the
OllAaf duall{pey IN,
Georgia. 1t was the home OF the late
Judge Garnett Andrews and called Hay
wood. The name comes from DR.. Gilbert
Hay, who came to Georgia from Virginia
as our records show about 1898, and shortly
afterward bought the site. so that the older
or eastern portion Of the house was nearly
lOO Years old. 1t is curious speoi-
men OF the solid and thorough workman
ship OF our forefathers. The larger beams
are nearly Is inches square, and the
smaller ones, on which the floors
rest are as large as the largest
beams in modern house. The nails are
all of wrought iron, but every part of the
house was also firmly bound together with
mortice and tenon. The whole frame of
the house was perfectly sound, land would
probably have lasted longer and stood q
cyclone better than any house in the town.
Like all the houses built by the old Vir-
ginta settlers, 1t had a cellar, and the brick
and masonry were as sound as the wood
work. DR.. Gilbert Hay died in 1928 and
Hopkins Brewer, an eminent lawyer, bought
the place in 1929. Mr.. Brewer died IN 1884
and in 1885 Judge Andrews bought Hay
wood. In few houses in Georgia has more
good company been entertained. Men Of
note In the history OF Georgia have dis
cussed the politics of the day for a century
In the deserted rooms. DIR. Hay was
Gov. Clark's second In his duel with Craw-
ford, and the place has echoed with
the names OF Troup and Clarke. In Judge
Andrews times when the bar of the North.
ern circuits was noted for the distinguished
lawyers belonging to it, Toombs, the two
Cobbs, Judge Lumpkin, the two Stephens
and many others. they gathered at Judge
Andrews bar dinners and drank the fine old
Madeira wine imported by himself. In the
exciting politics of ante. bellum times, men
who came from all over the state to make
speeches were entertained In the old house
and sat on the piazza In the evening and
smoked their cigars opposite the great
white oak, while they exchanged anecdotes
and cracked jokes about the humors of the
campaign. They are all gone and the old
house itself is but memory now.
Columbus Enquirer-S1n: A tall, yellow
negro walked into police headquarters at
noon Monday and announced that he was
Lewis jenkins, and that he had lust killed
citement caused by the sensational state
ment had somewhat subsidized, and after
jenkins had been locked in a cell, he gave
history of the killing, which was afterward
substantiated. jenkins was working as
section hand on the Columbus Southern
road, three miles the other side of Chatalka.
Yesterday morning an old negro named
Augustus Gaines went to the foreman of the
gang and requested him to allow several OF
his men to help him catch aShief who had,
during the night, robbed his house of a
rife, a pistol. and quantity of clothing.
The foreman gave the required permission,
and Jenkins and several others started in
pursuit of the thief Before long they came
up with a man trempipg along the road
side with a rife in his baud and q big
bundle tied up in blanket on his back.
jenkins Immediately suspected that he had
found the thief, and entered into conversa-
tion with him. After some talk on indif-
ferent subjects he asked permission to look
at the gun. When it was handed over to
him he asked if 1t was loaded, and on being
assured that 1t was. he placed 1t TO his
shoulder and ordered the man to surrender,
at the same time calling on his companions
TO seize him. Instead of giving up, as it
was expected, Mum ran his hand into his
hip pocket and produced a pistol. As he
drew it the sun flashed on the barrel, and
jenkins fired. Mum turned quickly and
ran few yards. and then threw up his
hands and fell forward on bis face.
When Jenkins reached him and turned
him over he was dead. The hot
