she married a well-known travelling
man. She was Miss Notson of Bibb
county. Within a few months she
found her husband an absentee. He
was still on the road. Thursday she
was informed he was to wed Savan-
nah lady Saturday morning and that
he would pass through Macon Satur-
day afternoon with his bride for the
East.
She felt like meeting her one-time
husband in company with his second
bride, and for that reason she used
the burned cork and the sunbonnet.
While Mrs. Gaines was at police
headquarters she was told her hus-
band and a woman, presumably his
WIFE passed through the city on the
train she had been watching.
Inquiry at the Ordinary's office fall
ed to discover any license for a mar
riage that might have been that of the
man for whom the Macon woman was
waiting. No trace of any wedding of
any unknown parties could be found
here, and no one at the Central De-
pot remembered any passengers that
might have been the parties referred
to.

Macon, April 16.-A member of the
local police department fell upon the
Macon end of a sensational story-a
story reading almost like fiction-here
to-day.
Just before the Central of Georgia
train, which arrives here S:45 o'clock,
was due, woman, graceful in her
movements, but apparently black of
face and hands, entered the colored
woman's waiting room. AS quickly as
she entered she left, seeking the la
dies waiting room. From this she
moved to the sidewalk and upon one
of the grass plots she took a seat.
A guest of wind lifted her sunbonnet
from her head, sending it tossing like
a kite in the air 1t was then Pa
trolman Kerby observed that the sun
bonnet had uncovered a head of
straight hair and an excellently-shaped
neck of alabaster whiteness.
An arrest was followed by confess
sion. The woman said she was Mrs.

of His PrcdecessOrs-EOose

Observation-Disclosures Special Train
Measure Lost.
Washington. April 16.-The routine
work on the general deficiency bill was
nearly completed by the House to-day.
Preceding this the District of Colum-
bia was legislated for in several minor
matters. The feature of the day was
a speech of criticism on Theodore
Roosevelt, the Republican Presidential
son of Tennessee.
Referring to a recent speech of Mr..
Grosvenor delivered in silence" (the
speech was inserted under leave to
PRINT, and giving the record of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the labor problem,
Mr.. Patterson referred to the surmises
in some quarters that this speech en-
anated from the White House.
After expressing his admiration for
the President as a ranchman. a SOL
der and an author, Mr.. Patterson
quoted at length from the writings of
the President. to show his estimate of
the public men of the country. past
and present. Mr.. Roosevelt had de-
clared one-third of the New York Leg
islature, of which he was a member,

state dOT1iD a ted NV mi
While civil service commissioner, the
President had condemned a speech Of
Mr.. Grosvenor in opposition to an ap-
preparation for that service, as "either
full of ignorance or gross misstate-
ment."
The Presidents writings on former
Presidents were quoted at length by
Mr.. Patterson. and in many instances
commented on as grossly unjust crit
icisms.
While referring to the Presidents
constant talk of war" Mr.. Patterson
was asked by Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin
why it was that the foreign relations
of the United States wene so uniformly
cordial under Mr.. Roosevelt's admins
tration.
When this was the case the talk of
war was inexcusable, was the reply.
Mr.. Baker of New York offered an
amendment to the deficiency bill, ap-
propriating 100000 to pay for the spe-
cial trains which it was stated had
been used by the President during the
past two years.
A point of order was made and sus-
tanned against the amendment.
Mr.. Hemenway offered an amend
ment, which was accepted without dis
cussion, providing $4,000, as requested
by the Secretary of the Navy, for the
proper disposition of the remains Of
the victims of the explosion on the bat

CLAYTON FIRE VISITED.
Ten Buildings Burned and the En-
tire Town Threatened.


Claxton, Ga, April 16.-Claxton was
visited again to-day by a fire which
destroyed five dwellings and the same
number of small out-buildings. There
was no insurance, except on one house,
which had been vacant about three
months.
The fire broke out about 1 o'clock. A
small tenement house in the southern
portion of the town. Within few
minutes several hundred people had
gathered with buckets and ladders. 1t
was too late to save the building where
the fire started, but the three adjacent
houses were saved, though they caught
fire several times. and at one time 1t
was thought it would be impossible to
save the nearest building, as the roof
had burned through in two or three
places.
Everything was then thought to be
safe, and the crowd began to dispense,
when an alarm was given on Duval
street some 400 yards from where the
first fire started. 1t was found impos-
was under too much Roadway, and the
wind was blowing briskly. BY heroic
work the two dwellings of j. M. Soon
yers were saved. There was house
on the opposite side of the street in
front of each that was destroyed.
The fire on Duval was caused by
flying spark from the first building
burned. From this the house of Mr..
;,I II; 70 haJ Il
Mr.. Gross, was destroyed. The flames
were carried to several out-buildngs,
which were burned. From these
the dwelling of C. S. Bras
well, and a small house of Mr..
G. F. Conley caught and burned. A
small house between Keny's property
and Mr.. Braswell was torn down to
prevent any further spread of the fire.
The barn of Mr.. n. A. Thagard
caught fire several times, but was
quickly extinguished. Had either of
the dwellings owned by Mr.. Sconyers
burned it would have meant a loss OF
ten or fifteen dwellings and the entire
| business portion of the town south of
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, in
Guiding the Claxton Bank and Claxton
Carriage and Hardware Company,
which would have meant loss of
100000 to $125000.
This is the first fire of any note
since May 80 last year when two brick
stores, two frame stores and one
dwelling were destroyed. Two minor
fires occurred two or three months
ago. This fire was caused by some
negro children setting fire to some
trash near the house. The principal
| losers are as follows: H. r. Elmore,
5000, no insurance; C. S. Braswell 5000,
no insurance; Mr.. Gross, $3.50 to $500,
no insurance; G. F. Conley, $500, no
insurance; Mr.. Purcell, $1,000, not
known if insured; heirs of Mrs. Sarah
C. Edwards, about $3.50, doubtful as
house was vacant.

KILLED TWO MONTHS AGO;
INCIDENT JUST REPORTED.
Naval Department Is Getting News
of Gun Practice.

Washington, April 16.-Secretary
Moody's attention to-day was called
to the fact that a serious accident had
occurred on the Boston while she was
engaged in target practice off Panama,
two months ago, resulting in the death
of one enlisted man. 1t was stated
this is the first the Secretary had heard
of 1t, officially or unofficially. For
some reason no announcement was
ever made at the Navy Department.
so far as could be learned, that the
accident had occurred, or that the man
had been killed.
The seaman who was killed was nam
ed Kahn, and the accident occurred
about the middle of last February.
Kahn was killed, according to the be-
!ated official report submitted to the
department, by the premature explo-
having been struck by the firing pin
of the gun. A court of inquiry was
appointed, and it's finding was to this
effect.
1t also was learned at the Navy De-
partment for the first time to-day, that
one of the gun crews of the Alabama
had a narrow escape while that vessel
was recently engaged in target prac-
tice off Pensacola by a blow back"
/. It is said that the wind was blowing
strongly at the time, and that the
flames burst from the gun, smuggling one
of the men, though how seriously
could not be ascertained.

Paris, April 16.-All the papers nee
essary for the transfer of the Panama
canal to the United States are now
completed. They include lengthy in
Ventories and schedules of the proper
ty belonging to the company, both in
Panama, here and elsewhere. These
have been carefully gone over and
checked up by w. A. Day and Charles
w. Russell, who are the assistant at
torney generals who came from Wash
ington to assist in the transfer of the
property, and the officers of the COM
panv.
The most important paper is the

1t is said at the American en-
bassy that the reports that the COM
pany sought to increase the purchase
price are unwarranted On the con-
trary. the American officials pay trib-
ute to the straightforwardness shown
by the officers of the company
throughout the negotiations, and de-
clare there has not been the slightest
effort to make the United States pay
more than originally agreed upon.

Norfolk county tonight fear that the
dawn will reveal the entire crop of
the county to be ruined. Frost is ex-

midnight sweeping over the fields of

frost would utterly destroy the crop
and the cold wind will damage it.
Norfolk county grows so per cent. of
the kale and spinach of the country,
and a killing frost would result in a
very heavy loss to the truckers.
