Capt. MuIIiken. 'sS. Columbia, Replies to
Z. ~. Y.

To TIRE EDITOR OF THE SUS-Str: In tho issue
Of THE Sun on Friday. under the heading "Ath-
letics in c. c. N. "" noticed reference to the
challenge sent by the senior football team OF
Columbia College. and wish to correct
the impression made by some OF the statel
ments. About two weeks before Thanks
giving. I mailed a challenge to the cap
tain of the &. G. n. Y. team. / named but
one condition. and that was that the game
should take place before Thanksgiving. No
answer was received. On Dec. the manager
of the Columbia freshman team told me that he
had just received a challenge from c. e. n. Y.
and had declined II. Had the &. G. n. Y. foot
ball management been at all businesslike, our
challenge would have been answered one way
tht other, and that without delay.
Now G. G. y. Y. claims that they accepted the
senior challenge and that the seniors backed
out. They have no foundation whatever for
such claim: To show that we could have no
reason for refusing To play. | will state that G.
G. n. Y. was defeated at their spring games in
1893 by a Columbia football team composed
almost entirely OF '95 men. The 90 freshman
team defeated c. c. n. Y. in the fall of 1892.

BAKING POWDER.
THE CHARGES PREFERREp.
Registrar McIntire to Have a Hearing
This Afternoon.

The registration commission held a
brief meeting Yesterday in the office of
the ordinary, and formally presented to
Registrar McIntire copy of the charges
which have been preferred against him
by the Citizens Club.
After considering the charges. they de-
cided to hold an investigation. The
charges were presented yesterday
in typewritten form, and they read as
follows:
General and specific charges against J. w.
McIntire, one Of The registrars Of Chatham
county.
l. That Mr.. McIntire is not proper per
son TO conduct the registration of the voters
OF Chatham county, for that he has been
guilty OF acts unbecoming such an off1cer.
winch acts are calculated to create dlstrust
in the minds Of the people Of the county as to
the fairness OF the registration.
SPECIAL
l. That on the evening of Saturday, May 3,
the said J. w. McIntire went into the ofiice Of
the tax collector, and, without the knowledge
or consent of the said tax collector. took
therefrOm a book'which contained the list Of
white voters for the year 1891 or those who
are qualified to vote after having been regis
tered
. That said book was complete list of the
registered voters of the county by reason Of
the daily use by the registrars of
said county. and as each name was registered
1t was checked of from the tax list which
tax list was contained in the book taken
away by Mr. McIntire, thus showing who was
registered and who not
3. That by reason Of this fact said book
was part OF the registration books of the
county, which, under the law, must be kept ia
the office OF the ordinary
l. That Mr.. Mcin;ere had no right to take
the book from the tax collectors Office. as 1t
was against the spirit and reason of the law
pertaining to the registration of voters for
the county OF Chatham. under said law the
books or any part Of them not being opened
for inspection until the registration had
closed on the first Monday in June.
D. That said book was taken for partisan
purposes and that 1t was so used.
After consulting as to what time would
have the hearing with regard TO the
charges, the hour of 4 o'clock this after
noon was fixed upon. 1t was at first sug-
gested that the hearing take place in the
private Office OF Judge F'alligant. the
chairman of the commission, but some
thing was said about a public hearing,
and Mr.. McIntlre said that he desired
1t to be as public as possible Judge
Falligant said he had no objection to
making it public if there was none with
the other judges. They were all agreed
to have it that way, and it will be held in
the superior court room at the hour set.
1t is understood that the witnesses which
the committee will call will be Messrs
A. N. ManucY, Clement Saussy, Frede-
rick Cler and Capt. MCGOWAN. Mr.. Cler

TO BE HEARD IN MACON.
Some Interesting Cases to Come Up
Against the Central Railroad.

Some Interesting Cases to Come Up
Against the Central Railroad.
There will be an interesting case
against the Central railroad TO come up
before Judge Speer in Macon Monday II
is the consolidated Intervention for taxes
fled on behalf Of the counties and moor
porated towns along the line of the main
stem between Macon and Savannah by
Cont roller VIM. A Wright.
The question is 10 lie determined
whether under its charter the Central is
liable for taxes to those counties and
towns between here and Macon. The
proper Interpretation Of the roads char
ter is, therefore, the main issue, so far at
least as the road is concerned. The
state contends that there Is no limit upon
the power Of these municipalities and
counties 10 tax the company, while, on
the other hand, the corporation holds
that it cannot be taxed by municipalities
or counties except on such real or per
Sonal property Of the company as is not
used for railroad purposes, and only on
such real or personal property as is
within the Jurisdiction OF the corporation
taxing.
The charter of the road states that the
Central railroad shall not be subject TO be
taxed higher than 0ue-half Of ! per cent.
upon It's annual net income, and no mu-
nicipality or county can tax the capital
stock of the corporation and nothing but
the real aud personal property. The con
tenti0u is to be made that the stock of the
company, as specified in the charter,
means the road and the appurtenances
that are used in operating IT, This case
has been assigned Tor Monday.
Some time within the next few days the
question will come up whether Receiver
Conner, of the Central road, shall be re-
quired TO accept through freight at Ma
con that has been delivered at Athens
to the Marc and Northern road and
brought by that line to Macon,
and destined to points on the
Southwestern, when the Central has
q through line from Atlanta The Macon
and Northern is receiving great
deal Of freight from the north by the Sea
board Air Line, and the Central refuses
to receive it at Macon, hoping thereby to
force shipments 10 Atlanta or Augusta,
where the Centrars line could reach it.
The Macon and Northern claims that the
Central's refusal to receive the freight is
in violation OK the interstate commerce
law. Both the roads are in the hands of
receivers, and are under the protection Of
the United States court.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Three Kirklands Charged With Intim-
idating a Witness.


Alfred Kirkland and his two sons.
Dawson and Mack Kirkland, were given
preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Isaac Beckett yes
terday morning on a charge of conspiracy
and intimidating a witness
When the United States dis
trict court was in session
here some time ago Alfred Kirk
land, who lives in Emanuel county, near
Stillmore, was given a hearing before
United States Commissioner Erwin,
being held on charge of
counterfeiting, after which he was
bound over under bond to appear before
the United States court The witness
whose evidence led most effectively to
this result was a negro named Wiley
Pitts.
Pitts claims he was informed by some
parties that threats had been made
against him by the Kirklands and fear
ing his life was in danger he left the
county and came to Savannah. Deputy
Marshal Buckner went up to Stillmore
and made the arrests, bringing the Kirk
lands down to the city Wednesday night
Pitts claimed that he had to leave and
give up his crop on account of these
threats against his life The defendants,
of course, denied making any such threats.
They were defended by Z. T. Davis, Esq
The evidence being insufficient to warrant
their being bound over, they were re-
leased by the commissioner.

true we have not consulted Mr.. Theus

finds the board is practically unit in his
favor he will agree to serve.
"But MIR. Theus is not a politician.
Exactly, and that is Just the reason we
want him" was the reply. Politicians
are plentiful, but we want q business
man. Mr.. Theus has all the requisites
for the making Of an alderman. He has
always taken an active interest in every
thing pertaining to the city's welfare and
is well posted upon matters Of general in

attracted attention to Mr.. Theus
is that there is no representative
of the retail business interests Of the city
upon the board. Mir. Theus is one Of the
leading business men of Broughton street,
and his selection will meet the general
approval of the retail business interest
with which he has been largely identi-
fed in the various trade organizations. "
The mention Of Mr.. Theus' name will
meet with approval among very large
circle of friends and acquaintance, who

A WEEK OF HYPNorIsM.
Hypnotist Everett to Be at the Thea
ter Next Week.

ter Next Week.
Savannah will have a hypnotical enter
tainment next week. Mr.. S. A. &.
Everett who has produced quite a sensa-
ton IN New York and elsewhere, will
open a weeks engagement at the theater
Monday night. The Macon telegraph
says
''It has remained for Georgia to produce
one of the most powerful hypnotists of
the day. Before a good audience at
Steinway hall in Macon a short time ago
Mr. S. A. q. Everett made modest debut
and gave as good an entertainment as has
ever been seen in this state. 1t was u
wonderful exposition Of the power of
mesmerism, hypnotism or psychology,
and MIR. Everett has proved beyond the
shadow Of doubt that he is endowed
with more than ordinary ability in this
direction.
Mr.. Everett, at the opening of the per
Torrance, spoke briefly on the subject of
his entertainment, making some humor-
Gus illusions and at once drawing the at
tention of his audience He is entirely with.
out braggadocio and spoke mOdestly
though he warned his hearers that this
would be the best part he had ever played
before a Macon audience. The power of
the master mind was perfect. The sub
1eCts were under the most absolute con-
troll and their actions under the deceptive
influence were amusing, entertaining and
instructive The audience showed their
appreciation and delight at the end of the
performance by the most hearty applause
Mr., Everett explained some of his ex-
periments plainly and in the most simple
way. He has possessed the power for
many years-ever since his boyhood-and
has spent many years in perfecting him
self in the art, which he now believes he
has brought down to a fine point"

finding the stock Of counterfeit silver dol

believed TO be in hand, however, to war
rant the holding of the men, but the pre-

postponed another day in order to give
time to get the evidence in good shape.
