Ago Dies In Commissions.

Ago Dies In COnvuIsiOnS.
Atlanta, Ca. July 16.-An afternoon pa
per gives a picturesque account of the
death of a young negro In the city to-day
from hydrophobia.
The negro was bitten by a puppy a month
ago. Early this morning one of the nu.
merous dogs remaining in the neighbor-
hood walked into the room where the
stricken negro lay. At the sight OF the
animal he shrieked horribly and begged
to have It put out. Immediately he went
into Commissions, which continued until Z
O'clock when he died
DR.. Charles X. King was summoned

all that could be done to relieve the fear

no one works; everybody loafs; all are

NO LYNCHING AT MACON.
Danger of Mob Violence Believed to
he Not Yet Passed.

Macon. Ga, July 16.-Oscar Williams
the negro rapist confined in jail, whose
death at the hands of a mob is by no
means uncertain, has made a written con,
fession. The confession was written for
Williams yesterday by another negro in
the jail, and is now in possession of the
officers. He goes into fun details of the
horrible crime, leaving nothing out. When
questioned about it he does not attempt
20 palliate or deny any part OF the Of
tense. He is simply stolld.
Williams is a tall thin negro and does
not seem to be endowed with much in
telligence. He does not show fear and in
talking Is slow and deliberate.
The negros description of the crime Is
too brutal for publication.
The jail Is closely guarded as the fears
of lynching have not entirely subsidized.
Rumors are current on the street tonight
that his victim is dead. Two hundred
people are about the Jail at this hour.

Jackson VIII Case.
Atlanta, Ga, July 16.-There was more
lively testimony in the Wood-Jackson will
case to-day. and near the conclusion of
the hearing the attorneys got hot and the
ordinary had to Insist on their recollectlng
themselves. Col. Butts, who works with
A. ]. West g. Co, testified that one of the
young ladies to whom MIR. Wood is said to
have paid a great deal of attention, was
Miss Leila Jack According to Mr. Butts
Miss Jack was an exceedingly vivaclous
young lady, and was just the sort of girl
to eaptiVate the hearts of married as well
as young men.
Mr. Butts said she came In the parlor at
the boarding house one day and threw
her arms around him and smacked him on
the lips. 1t was also brought out that
Wood was attentive to Teresa Berkeley,
and 1t was reported TO Mrs. Wood. This
s a mild version of the kind of evidence
hat wrought up the lawyers.

now could put their motion for re-

After the recess Mr.. Nickel moved

build a tool house and shop. Carried.
Mayor wanted Council to express Its
opinion in reference to the Maurey
corner. Maple and Hill streets.
Mr.. Nickel thought it would be an
improvement.
DR.. Griffith said that there are worse
corners and named one on Mt. Pleas

ID. ID. Price moved that the matter
be referred to the Street committee.
Mayor said that he did not think
they could carry out the provisions of
the last order of Council in reference
to limestone-namcly, to purchase an
additional thousand percbes. Mr.
Paul had called in his store and asked
him to read the contract and see if the
provisions had been carried out and
he had told him that they would do so.
Mayor also wanted Council to either
repeal the dog Ordinance or enforce
it. The Ordinance had not been en-
forced. He did not want to 90 on
record as making Ordinances aud not
enforcing them. He had lost great
deal of time trying to have laws en-
forced and notifying people to shut off
water and other thugs, bu. he didn't
intend to arrest dogs.
Mr.. Nickel agreed with the Mayor.
Ordinances ought to be enforced.
SO did d. d. Price, who cited the
case of the dog lately killed.
DR.. Griffith explained the crcum-
stances under which the Ordinance
was passed.
Mr.. johnson moved that the dog
ordinance be repealed.
