A. A. POWELL MURDERED.
A North Carolinian's Mysterious Death
at Macon Ga.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 3d.-A. \. Powell,
ii well known oil merchant of this city
was found early this morning uncon-
scious with his skull crushed into Il
jelly. He died shortly after he was found
without having gained consciousness.
Mr.. Powell lived by himself in room
over his store and had been mHdered
apparently while he slept. The cause
of the killing is shrouded in mystery.
The victim was Il quiet, inoffensive man,
with no known enemy. The fact that
a considerable amount of money was
found in his pocket tends to d.scre7dit
the theory Of robbery. The police up to
this time appear TO be completely baf-
fled Mr.. Powell came to Georgia sew
elal years ago from North Carolina. He
has sister and several brothers in

, OLD DAYS.
kecaned by This Time Worn Book o
the Last Century.


THE Court and City Register, or
Gentleman's Complete Annual Calen-
dar for the Year 1777," is the title of
a queer old English book owned by an
indiana man. AS the name implies,
1t was sort of universal guide book
Tor the upper class of the times in
London, containing lists of the royal
ty and nobility, the army, the navy
the foreign representatives, etc. Many
strange terms are to be found in it,
Some Of the titles are extremely lu-
dlcrous TO an American ear, although
the institutions to which the book
makes reference in many cases still
exist. The Amicable Society for the
Furtherance of Equitable Life Assur-
rance, and the Laudablep Society For
the Protection of Homeless Orphans
are fair samples of style of nomen-
clature which afterward LED Dickens
to dub the British foreign Offices the
Circumlocution bureau. The lists Of
the navy for that year is particularly
interesting, as it shows several ships
destroyed by Paul Jones, within the
last few months. One, the Cygnet,
was building at the time the calen-
dar was issued. The American ad-
miral met 1t almost as it started on
its christening or ise nd II shared the
fate Of most OF tn ships which he
met. There is also a list of the Brit
ish governors Of the American colo
MES, with mention OF "Mr. Washing
ton" as commander of the insurgents.
Judging from the tone of the calendar
few in England doubted that the re-
bellion would be speedily overcome,
and none had the slightest conception
OF the force under arms against them
The same work for the year 1894 shows
some very gratifying changes in re-
gard to the British affairs in Amer
lea. Governors for the various states
are no longer on the list, while min
lister to what is vaguely spoken of as
America" is among the list Of the
embassies. 1t is perhaps significant
of the sting felt at that defeat that
the minister to America is not of noble
blood. Thomas Pinckney was the
American minister at that time. An
interesting list is that Of the infant
postal department, which In England
was just getting fairly under way. The
comptroller, corresponding to our
postmaster-general. received $1,500
per annum, while his assistants, Of
whom there were only five, received
but $3.75 per week. For the city Of
London there were eight subscribers,
at the munifcent salary Of $3.50 per
week. The fact that letter may be
delivered anywhere in London for two
cents Is dilated on repeatedly.
