FOUR SISTERS SUE
Because They were Discharged from
the Exposition Mills.

the Exposition Mills.
Four suits were filed by four sisters in
Atlanta, Tuesday, through their attorney,
John B. Goodwin, against the Exposition
cotton mills, D. N. Speer and Hugh Inman.
The plaintiffs state that they were all dis
charged on Jan. 10, 1887.
They claim that they were discharged for
no fault or reason and without minutes
warning, and that after they were dis
charged they went to other mills in the city
and were refused work because the pro-
prietors of the exposition mills had requested
the other mills to give employment to none
of the family.
Plaintiff avows that prior to January,
1887, her sister, Mrs. A. Williams, brought
a suit against brother of one of the pro-
prietors of the Exposition mills, and that
for this reason she (the plaintiff though in
no wise connected with the suit, was dis
charged. She does not sue for the discharge,
but for the loss of wages through loss of
work and reduction in price, and for the
malicious interference of the said defend
ants to prevent her securing position.
Another suit is by Miss NJ. E. Williams
for 81, $50 so. This plaintiff went to work
at the same time her sister did, and was dis
charged at the same time and for the same
alleged reason.
Miss Della, through her next friend, her
father, Edward Williams, sues for $2.012 so.
The suit is precisely like the two preceding.
the fourth suit, exactly like the others, is
brought by Miss Susie Williams, and is for
81. $50 80

wAsH1NaroNs AQUEDUCT.
A Practical Workman Throws Some
Light on the Schemes.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The military
court of inquiry into the aqueduct tunnel
scandal developed some very interesting
testimony to-day. Frank Thompson, a
bricklayer on the tunnel, testified that the
brick work was good, but that the packing
behind the brick arch was frequently very
Door Incompetent men were employed, and
they were hurried so by the sub-contractors
that it was lmpo ,sible that the work
could be good. Workmen, the witness
testified, were driven to deception by the
contractors. The conspiracy was thor
oughly organized and its object was to de-
ceive the government inspectors The work
men always knew when the chief inspectors
were coming, and 1t was very easy for them
to deceive the inspectors.
BAD WORK AT NIGHT.
A great deal of bad work was done at
night, when nobody but the sub-inspec-
tors were ever around. One morning an
inspector examined some work done the
night before and discovered hole in it big
enough to drive government wagon into
1t took three days to pack this cavity.
Civil Engineer George II. Coryell, who
was at one time employed on the work
testified that the masonry lining was, In
his opinion, too weak to Withstand the
pressure that would be put upon it. He
condemned the whole scheme for the work,
and declared that the tunnel was nothing
more than an expensive hole.
MAI. LYDECKER CRITICISED.
The fact was brought out that the wit
ness and Maj. Lydecker, who had charge
OF the work, were on bad terms with each
other. To one question the witness re-
piled: maj Lydecker was in charge of
the work, but | know he never did his
duty To another he said that he had not
now, and never did have, any confidence in
Maj. Lydecker.
The congressional aqueduct investigating
committee were to have met to-day, but as
only Senators Edmunds and Faulkner were
present, an adjournment was taken until to-
morrow. The investigation, Senator Ed
munds said, would be thorough and com
plete, both as to the extent of the bad work
and the responsibility for it.

A report from William Lauder, special
agent of the American and English under
writers, sent out to investigate the methods
of handling and covering cotton on the
wharves and in loading on shipboard, was
read. Mr.. Lauder, in the course
Of his investigation here, noted the need for
after a thorough examination of the
wharve5 and river front where cotton is
handled and shipped. he recommended the
location of fire hydrants at the Central
press, and also at the lower
press and at Harmon's wharf
The location of hydrants at those
points, Mr. Lauder is satisfied, would greatly
facilitate the extinguishing of incipient
fires on vessels and would prove beneficial
to the shipping interests of the port. If
practicable for it to be done, Mr.. Lauder
recommended the placing OF hydrants at
regular intervals along the whole river
front.
The report was forwarded to the council
with the approval of Chief Fireman Fer

CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. 14-This city
has been agitated for two days over rumors
that there was going to be a massacre in
Beaufort on the occasion of the meeting of
the county board of canvassers of that
county and the militia was under arms last
night. The whole thing seems to have been
a hoax A telegram received from Beau
fort to-day from responsible white men
says that there never had been any threats
of bloodshed or rioting or anything else,
and that the white people of Beau
fort were somewhat surprised when
they heard of the military prepare
ton that had been made Tor their
protection and safety. Somebody seems to
have made as great a mountain out of an
imaginary molehill a. that which was built
by an enterprising correspondent, who was
going to make Fred Nix burn the President
of the United States in effigy at Blackville.
