made for all that favored it to rise.
Nobody rising, the speaker explained to
them that he understood why, that they
realized that the best dance the most Sc

New Consultation and bylaws to BE
Adopted--0ntcers Elected.
Grimm, Ga, May 1.-THE fires of the
great council of the Red Men OF Geor-
gia have been kindIed In Griffin. Last
night a banquet to the Past Sachems was
given at the Griffin Rides Armory, dur
ing which numerous toasts were offered.
At o'clock this morning the great
council was called to order, and Mayor
Bailey delivered an address OF welcome
i'm behalf of the city.
Past Great Incohonee r.. f. Daniel de-
livered an address of welcome In behalf
of the local lodge and a response was Of
fered by President r. II. Jeffries of the
Past Sachems Association. After this,
the body went into a business session
and excluded all but delegates to the
convention.
Just what has been accomplished has
not been given out, but 1t is known that
there is much business of Importance to
transact, as a committee was appointed
at the last session to revise the consti-
tuition and Bylaws of the Great Council,
and that committee has, after much la
Dor, prepared an entirely new constitu-
ton and bylaws and will submit them
Many changes viii be made as the Great
Council of the United States has recent
ly made several radical changes I'm the
organic laws, and action on these will be
passed upon by this session. 1t will also
be decided where they will meet next
and from expressions overheard it is
thought likely that Savannah will be the
place selected.
IT Will also be decided what tribe will
receive the silken banner, but this has
not been done yet. Although the great
council remained in session until after 2
O'Clock 1t had not had time to attend to
these matters.
The election of officers was gone into,
and It Is evident that a strong fight must
have ragged somewhere. for up to 3 O'Clock
only the following had been elected:
Great Prophet-Wnn. II. Beck, Griffin.
Great Sachem-J. r. Kellam, Atlanta.
Great Senior Sagamore-M. c. White,
Columbus.

At 4:30 this afternoon they were driven
over the city and out to the experimental

delightful spread of ice cream and cake,
which was enjoyed by all.
Tomorrow closes the session.

MADE PASSENGERS NOSES BLEED.
Atlanta street Car Wrecked with
Dynamite.

Atlanta, May a. Car No 101 OF the At
lants Railway and Power Company was
wrecked by a dynamite explosion at 9
o'clock this afternoon near the corner Of
Marietta and Magnolia streets. which is
out toward the old Exposition Cotton
ellis. The car was crowded with pas
sengers at the time, but fortunately none
Of them was seriously hurt, though all
were badly shaken up. A strange fea-
ture was that nearly all the passengers
on the car had the nose bleed immedi-
ateiy after the explosion.
The explosion Is a deep mystery. There
are NUMEROUS theories with regard 10 It.
There Is no doubt that is was caused by
dynamite, but the motive of the party IN
placing II on the track is mysterious. as
is his Identity Chief Ball of the police
force thinks II was done by some mis-
chievous boys. who wanted to hear a loud
noise. Others think that II was the work
OF discharged employees. President Wood
ruff has offered reward OF 800 for the
arrest OF the guilty party.

ed why this action was taken. he said:
THE company was dlsbanded at the re-
quest OF the officers. they themselves hav-
ing called the meeting for that purpose,
and II was voted unanimously by the
members present to disbsnd. This action
was taken by the company for the simple
reason that 81 can SECURE no aid neither

Another reason rs we have no ship of

we had put her in first -cass condition.
We also understand that the Prairie,
which has for the past three years been
used as a training ship. will not be here

WHISKY UNBALANCED HIS MIND.
Negro Is Improving and Jury said
He Is Not a Lunatic.

Alexander Jordan, colored was tried
for lunacy by a Jury from the Court of
Ordinary, at the jail yesterday, and was
adjudged mentally sound, or at least so
nearly so that he will be released in a few
days.
The negro had been raising row and
was constantly calling for liquor of some
sort. While there was no direct evidence
to show it the jury took the mans actions
to mean that he had become temporarily
deranged from whiskey. His condition has
improved materially during the past few
days and in the opinion of the county
physician all that he wants is rest.
Jordan will be held in che jail for a
week or ten days and It is expected that
at the expiration of that time his mind
will be perfectly clear
