rel scheme is mainly responsible. BY an or
dinance of the city council II is made an
/ 0flenSe to throw piper or refuse or any KIND
/ on the streets. At first there was some trouble
about enforcing the ordinance but by degrees
/ the people formed the habit of throwing
| everything into the barrels and il Is now an
exception to see a scrap Of paper OF an orange
pCeltng on the streets. There Is no good rea-
son why Macon cannot form the same good
habit and If The board OF health when they do
put the barrels on the streets viii also ask
for an ordinance preventing the sweeping or
throwing out OF paper Macon Will gradually
get the name Of being the Clcanest places In
The state Of Georgia.
| Douglasville New South Sunday night
| Barna Dorset who lives on this side Of Dog
river died very sudden Mr.. Dorset was in
good health and at the supper time was en-
/ loying good health, but in "a few moments af-
terward he was lying cold in death Mr. Dor
sett after finishing his supper got up from
/ the table and in a few minutes commenced
! complaining Of pain in his head. he pain
! was so severe that 10 drew his head back.
/ and before "a physician could be got he died.
/ Tuesday morning while on his way to the
| funeral Dave Miller, who lives just on the
other side OF Dog river. and whose farm
/ joins Mr. Dorset. was taken in "a similar
| manner and died before he reached home.
/ The disease which has carried of these
two worthy citizens is puzzling
| the people. Some claim il to be paralysis OF
| the brain. while the physicians say il is men
| nights. Mr. Dorset and Mr.. Miller lived
/ about eight or nine miles southwest Of town.
! There is strange coincidence between the
/ lives OF Dorset and Miller Several years
J ago they had "a SUnstrOke only "a few days in
| tervening and were confined to their beds
about the same number of days Dorset get
/ ting out first. About two years ago they were
/ taken sick again, ana were Affected in the
| same manner and were sick about the same
| length Of time. 1t appears that what allied
| one always did the other. Mr.. Dorsett always
1 being the first one TO get sick as he was the
! first one to die. Mr.. Dorset was "A years Of
| age and Mr.. Miller was about the sumo age.
Gainesville Courant-American: In 1871
| the late Judge John G. BransOn borrowed 800
from John Neal of Atlanta who died few
years ago. Interest rates then ruled high
In the spring OF 1873 usury laws were
abolished. Neal and BranSon got together
and new notes were given with several Sc
curities. All the interest was added into the
notes, which then amounted TO $3.50. This
sum was made to draw interest at IL per
| cent, per annum, which was then considered
very reasonable rate, money sometimes
| lOaning at and frequently per cent per
month. The notes not being paid, Neal sued
IN the Kingston justice court. and got ludg
ment The defendants appealed to the SUI
perlor court. The cases were continued time
and again. IT was referred to an audi
tor, who decided i'm favor of Neal. On some
technicality this report was set aside and
another auditor appointed. Mr. Neal in the
meantime died and his executors took his
place. Mr.. BrauSOu likewise died and Mr.
Durham his administrator stood in his shoes
The fight before the master was heard and
tested, ana the record covered n great deal Of
evidence and many legal points. The auditor
decided in favor of Meals estate. The de
PENDANTS were not satisfied and took the case
TO the superior court, where Judge Attaway
heard it in the place of Judge Miner. He
sustained the auditors report, but the case
went 10 the supreme COnrt of Georgia where
1t was argued about two months ago,
and not decided until last week The
debt now amounts TO about 3 SOD
Rome Tribune; The capture Of George
Burke by United States Ohicer Trippe Tues
day evening at Round mountain, puts an end
10 the operations of a very tough citizen, who
has long been wanted for various Ofenses on
both sides of the state line. For long time
Burke has hung TO the vicinity of the state
line. and in the counties south of here has
caused considerable trouble. He became the
leader of one of the most reckless and sue
ceSsful bands of counterfeiters that this sec
ton has ever known. He was "a skilled me
chan1c and devised and made molds in which
ne cast CONS OF all denominations from
cents up to the bright American silver
dollar He was very Industrious and from
all sorts of old pewter lead and anything else
easily melted, he turned out coins it is
thought OF upward Of 100000. The most Of
this was maze after he moved from Georgia
to place near Round mountain, where IL
seems he set himself up to make queer money
and wild cat whisky The whisky. Judging by
the capacity of his still, must have been made
only Tor drinking purposes for himself and
friends. He had number of associates who
took The bad money and went out and dis
tributed II among the unsupported cOun-
try people. IL was one of their schemes to
visit the country stores and buy large lots
of goods which they afterward sold Some
OF them went on long journeys ana bought
large numbers Of cattle, which they sold at
good prices for good money. 1t was one of
these men whose business ii was to dispose of
the coin who fell into the hands of Oficer
Trippe at Alexandria several days ago. His
name was George Erwin and when arrested
he had $4,000 on his person. He made u full
confession and said George b drlSe was making
the money over at Round mountain. Acting
on this confession Officer TTippe started for
Round mountain where he captured
his man Tuesday evening without any
trouble, although he is "A desperate
man \ thorough search was made
Of Burke's house for the mOlds but they were
not found. and il is thought Burke's mother
disposed Of them while the officers were mak-
ing the arrest. But the officers search was
not truitlcSs one, as a baby diStillery was
tOundin the double chimney, the worm being
in one chimney and the still in the other
the two being connected by a pipe The
capacity Of the still was 2i2 gallons which
proved to be an air valve stolen from the fur
mace at Round mountain This is said to be
the smallest stiQ ever captured. Burke was
carried to Admission for trial. II is said there
are forty-two indictments standing against
him in the federal courts.
