ing at the west end of the bridge, between the
laundry and Gould's building. The sled
jumped over wood-pile there and landed
against the basement Of the laundry. Several
were hurt and some seriously. Roy Goodwin
got five ribs broken and his brother, Sidney
injured his foot. Jerry Mahoney got broken
wrist and George Packard a wrenched leg.
Miss Nellie Greenan received serious injuries.
Several others were more or less injured. A
total disregard of the laws regulating coasting
on our streets inevitably lead sooner or later.
to such accidents, or worse.
What came near being a very serious ac-
cident happened in this city last Thursday.
Judge Redmsn was on his way from the shoe
factory to his Office and when just past the
Courthouse be met Miss Lucy l.. Phelps who
was going up the hill, both walking in the
street. At thst moment an unmanageable
horse came from the direction OF the Falls,
driven by Mr.. Rockwell, who reside. at that
village. The pung or the horse struck both
Judge Redman and Miss Phelps, knocking
them both down. Miss Phelps was but very
slightly hurt. but Judge Redmsn was COM
petey dazed and badly bruised. Father But
Ter. who was near by, went TO the rescue. and
the Judge was taken into sleigh and carried
home. Thursday evening he called phys-
clan. but was not found to be very seriously
injured. The next day. though very sore and
lame. he was out again. lie says he never
heard the approach OF the horse and remem-
bers nothing about being struck or put into
the sleigh. The first he remembers. they were
going up Bridge Hill and had nearly reached
his fathers house. When the pung struck the
Judge. the driver was knocked out. the horse
running down the hill dragging Mr.. Rockwell
by the reins, until they reached the post-office
square where the animal was stopped, with
out serious injury to man or beast. There are
conflicting reports relative to the cause of the
runaway.

ssSilver Dollars" Made of Glass,

"Silver Dollars Made of Glass.
Counterfeit silver dollars of the issue
of 1890, of which glass is the principal
component, have been discovered at the
Uniten States Sub Treasury in this city,
Nearly all of the bogus dollars came
from the banks. where the receiving
tellers had taken them for genuine. The
touch and ring are perfect, but they are
lighter in weight and thicker than the
genuine dollar. They do not have a
spurious look, even after short use, but
retain the finish and lustre of the genu-
inc coin. Some of the coins are of 1888
aud 1889 date
The experts at the b-Treasury say
that the counterfeits are as good as any
they have seen, and have been placed in
circulation within the last few days.

What Becomes OF the Mulssp
Ffom the Washtnqton Ca Qasette.

From the washington CGd.) Gazette.
You and many other Georgia editors are
curious to know what becomes of all the
mules that are brought year after year to
Georgia.
can tell you. They are bought by white
men who rent land to negroes. They are
sold or rented to these negro tenants. BY
them they are starved, beaten and cruelty
treated. At the end of year they die.
That's what becomes of the mules.
Go to one of our side streets on hot,
sultry Saturday IN August, there you will
see hundreds of mules standing without
food or water, standing 50 from morning
until IL o'clock at night, while their riders,
negro men and women, loiter about the
square, blocking up the sidewalks, Cabling
and gosslping That's what becomes of the
mules.
Look out of your window any public day,
especially "big meeting" day, and you
will see poor, jaded, half-starved mules.
drawing wagons and buggies packed with
negroes thick as sardines. The heavier the
load the harder the mule is beaten. A mule
that has worked all the week without rest
or shelter is driven ten miles every Sunday
with stick and spur. That's what becomes
of the mules.
Some times walk along the streets and
see poor, tired mule ali skin and bones.
He can scarcely creep. He is dashed aud
! turn my face away in shame to think that
live In q land where such things go with
out rebuke. We have become SO accus-
toned to IL we do not notice 1t.
NV husband deals largely in mules His
plantation is tenanted out to negroes
Every winter he buys carload of mules.
They are driven into our back lot. Here
the negro tenants come one by one and
each selects his mule.
Poor beastsl They 90 ont crisp. 1.-the and
nimble, fresh from their native fields. They
come back next fall nothing but skeletons;
that is, the few that do not die. They come
with sores on their backs, great knots on
their knees, eyes put out, tongues cut and
bleeding. Nobody can tell what cruelty
they suffer in the hands Of their black mas
ters. ! can only tell what see. Nine out
OF ten come back with their tongues cut l
asked one Of cur tenants once why ii was SO.
He laughed aud said, "Dat's de only way
Ter make er mule go when he gifts stubborn"
A negro tonant rarely ever pays for his
mule. The landlord takes it back in the
fall, and after feeding and caring for it
few weeks rents it out to another tenant.
That's what becomes of the mules.

mules that my husband bought last winter
seven died. The others are in our back lot
