A SENSATIONAL CASE.

Some very sensational testimony was
given before Commissioner ]. N. Talley
in Macon last week in the case of Pullen
VS.. the Union Central Life Insurance
Company
In 1895 the Union Central Life Insurance
Company wrote a policy for $4,000 upon
the life of James H. Pullen of Laurens
county, the policy being payable to A. A.
Pullen. In 1888 Pullen died. A claim
was made against the company for the
insurance, but payment was refused The
reason given by the Union Central Life
Insurance Company for not paying the
claim is that there was conspiracy be-
tween the physician who examined Pull
len. the agent who took the application
and a. A. Pullen, the beneficiary, to de-
fraud the company; that Pullen was ill
with consumption at the time the insur-
ance was effected, and that he so stated
in answer to the question If he had con-
sumption; that he had fistula of several
years standing, and so stated in the APP
plication; that the original application
was for 5000, and that A. A. Pullen de-
stroyed this APPLICATION and forged an APP
plication for $4,000 and gave it to the
agent, who sent it in to the company
with the answers to the questions asked
Pullen as to whether or he had consump-
ton or fstula, changed. At the hearing
several prominent business men of Macon
gave testimony strongly supporting the
contentious of the insurance company.

CARVED NEGRO PISTOL rorER.

Albany Herald: In a difficulty which
occurred in East Dougherty Saturday
morning. Joseph Hill. colored. was seri-
ously wounded by II. W. Batemen, the
white road overseer for that neighbour
hood. Bateman was in charge of a large
squad of road workers nearly all negroes.
On Saturday morning Hill did not show
up at the appointed time, but came at a
later hour, whereupon he was reprimand-
ed by the overseer. Hill did not relish
being reproved in the presence Of a
crowd of his acquaintances, and became
very angry. Some hot words followed
between him and the overseer, Hill finally
drawing a pistol. He pointed the weapon
at Bateman and fired, the bullet striking
the ground a few feet in front of its in
tended mark. Bateman thereupon whip
ped out a big pocket knife and advanced
on Hill, who did not have time to use his
pistol again. Before the negro could cs-
cape the road overseer was upon him, and
Immediately began using his knife with
a will. Hill. according TO reports, was
literally ''carved into little strips" re-
ceiving a number of wounds on all parts
of his person. II is not believed how
ever, that his injuries will prove fatal.

The Holy Dead.

Calm are the holy dead
When the passion of life is DER.
When the green turf flowers Ger the resting head
And the turbulent dreams Of the world have fed
And the wild heart throbs no more
Blessed are the holy dead
Though dark were their lot before
For healed are the wounds that on earth have bled
And dried are the tears that on earth were shed
For the sorrows that erst they bore !
Wise are the holy dead
Aye. wise with noble lore
For 10 their clear glances are open spread
The scrolls, where the secrets Of God are read
In the heavens where the angels soar
Oh. who will bemoan the dead.
As stricken with anguish sore :
Though the sod or the marble be Ger his head
His beautiful soul with song hath fed
To the rest that it loved Of yore!

The Massow Fortune.

A Washington correspondent to the
Atlanta Constitution has something to
say Of the matter including the origin
of the story and who the Baron really
wants to hear from.
Not much attention was paid to the
report, as it was regarded as one ct
those fairy stories which keep coming
across the water-on a par with tbs
stories of immense estates seeking
American claimants. But there IS
something in it. COL Mosby, who is
here in Washington. remembers Baron
Massow as one of the men with his
command, but says be has heard moth.
ing from him since the war, although
he understands he is rich man, AMI
was at one time court chamberlain 10
the King of Prussia. The story grows,
however, out of a letter written by 40
American lady at the request OF Baroa
Nassow, to a gentleman IN Washing.
ton who was himself member of the
Mosby command. This ladys letter
concluded with the statement that Bar.
on Massow is now one Of the highest
commanding generals OF the German
army, and that she thought the reason
the baron asked for the address Of GER.
tain people he knew when in the Con-
federate army was that he might do
something for them.
The letter is not, however, a re.
quest for a list of the names aud ad.

command, as the first publication hal
