Indian Battle

The Single Mill-A Reminder of an
Indian Battle.
CORDELE, GA, Feb. 26.-The large shin
gle mills here have done much to develop
the resources of the pine region, and it has
also recently brought out evidence of the
fact that c ordele is of some Importance for
historical reasons A single as cut from
the heart of a very large pine tree, which
contained part of bullet. Parts of the
bullet, which was very large, were found
in several shingles cut from the same log.
The sight of the slingle the other night
brought to the mind of a guest of the
Hotel de Hamilton a bistor cal event
which occurred on the spot, or part
of it where Cordele now stands. A fearful
battle occurred here between the whites
AID the Indians about thirty-eight years
ago, according to this gentleman, and much
blood was split. The fight occurred on the
refusal of the Indians to desert their South
Georgia homes for the western hunting
grounds, which the government had invited
them to occupy. An epidemic OF small
pox ragged among the Indians at the same
time.
Application has been made for ground
and sidetrack facilities for an ice house
here.
The barrel factory will soon be under
way.
The site for the guano factory and oil
mills has been selected.

Loaded Squib Thrown into the Fur
mace the Cause of the Disaster.
PLYMOUTH, PA, Feb 26-The cause of
the squib factory explosion here, which re-
suited in the death of eleven persons, has
been ascertained. 1t was due to the grossest
carelessness on the TART of the owner of
the factory, John R. Powell. At II
o'clock in the morning, just before
going to dinner he told the fore ian,
George Reese to clean up, which meant
gathering the empty squibs lying around
loose on the floor. Reese said he would do
SO. Immediately after dinner about 12:45
O'Clock, Reese told Kate Jones to sweep up
the loose squibs and burn them.
LOADED SQUIB.
There is no danger in burning unloaded
squibs, but in this case it happened that
among the sweepings there was loaded
squib As soon as this came in contact with
the fire, it shot out like a sky rocket, shat
tering the stove, and running along the
floor until it came in contact with box OF
loaded squibs ready for market. This
caused the second explosion, and tie squibs
in the box ignitel a quantity of loose
powder in keg, which caused a third ex-
ploSion.

Laughter.
RFBUKED BY DILLON.
Mr. Dillon thought Mr.. Saunderson's per-
Torrance less amusing than usual. His
remarks were mere interludes in the opera
bouffe-stale jokes unworthy of the atten-
ton of the House The question of Ireland
could not be set aside by jest. He en-
phatic illy repudiated as calumny any sug'
gestiol That he or his colleagues worked for
an increase of crime. The decrease of
crime was not due TO the coercion act,
but to the enormous cor cessions got
for tenants through the plan Of cam
paign. 1t was also due to Knowledge OF the
increased sympathy of the English people.
TIE declarati IN Of Mr. Gladstone and his
followers had more effect in stopping crime
than all the coercion acts ever passed. Re-
gariing the question Of prison garo, they
objected to wearing the livery of crime and
associating with foFgers and thieves.
Hear, hear.l Possibly, judging from
recent events, certain members Of
the opposition did not entertain
the same objection. [Parnellite cheers.l
He proceeded to criticise Mr.. Balfour's
statement regarding the treatment Of pris-
oners CON ending that there were manifest
contradictions in his statements, making
the whole unworthy Of credence.
