| PITrspuRo, Feb. 25.-Contrary to ex-
| pectattons, the Grievance Committee
of the Pennsylvania Company en-
ployes did not receive the anxiously
awaited answer to their petition from
General Manager Wood to-day. The
day was the decision OF forty engi-
neers representing tho Brotherhood
membership of all the Pennsylvania
Company organizations to act with the
other organizations in their efforts to
secure higher wages. The Engineers
Conference has been In session since
Monday, and concluded its work this
afternoon.
This decision means that engineers,
firenen, conductors, trainmen and
switchmen OF the entire system con-
cerned will act as unit The engl-
neerS authorize the statement that the
work of equalization on the part OF the
company Is equivalent to cutting
down at one point and filling up at
another, and will not be satisfactory,
and that, unless u clear advance Is
granted, merchants, shippers, and the
company will be given four days
notice of strike, which they consider
is ample time for preparations.
1t has always been learned that In
case OF a strike the United Mine Work
erS are likely to act in harmony with
the several unions of railway en-
ployees. The railroad men will pledge
themselves to haul no coal or coke
prodlced by non-union hands, il the
miners will agree to load no cars other
than those moved by union trainmen.
II this alliance can be preserved 1t
will be far reaching in its effects.
Heretofore there has not been much
show OF harmony between the miners
and railroaders, and both have been at
a disadvantage when there was u fight
on. When asked to-day about his
reply to the Grievance Committee,
General Manager Wood said he did not
want to disappoint the men, but that
great deal was implied in the consid-
Grafton and adjustment OF so many
details.
No ADVANCE 10 BE GRANTED.
'rThere is one thing certain" was
asked, ''and that is that the advance in
wages will not be granted?
.'Oh, YES" replied Manager Wood,
''that Is settled. We have only been
trying to adjust the other difficulties
about which complaints were maue,
The question of an advance n wages
we have already answered, and no fur-
ther answer will be given. This Is not,
however, because we are ut all disposed
to be arbitrary"
''rhe men say that the company is
willing to concede almost anything
except an advance in wages, but IL that
is not considered the company might
as well concede nothing, and they Will
strike" said the reporter.
Well probably they will, replied
Manager Wood, "but they have not
done 80 yet, and think railroad EN-
ployes, as rule, are pretty sensible

The fore in the way of curiosities with a
web-footed and web-handed boy, who
spends the greater part of his life in the
water. He is a son of a negro day laborer,
John Peterson by name, employed on Cant
* Battles plantation. The boy is now
nearly IS years old, and is considered half
witted, as he has not been known to speak
intellgently for years, though expressing
his few wants well enough by the means of
signs. He is undersized. though unusually
strong and agile. He lives entirely on fish
which he catches in some unknown Way,
employing neither line nor net.
The membrane between his toes and
fingers is exactly like that of duck, only
much broader, but with the exception of
this popularity and some properly of the
skin, which prevents its wrinkling by long
immersion in the water, he EXHIBITS no
physical deformity and enjoys the best of
health.
He haunts a small turn in the Pearl.
where, sheltered by the PUSHES and flags, he
will lie for hours completely submerged.

CAMILLA CULLINGS.

Melons Burned.

Crops IL Mitchell County Cars of
Melons Burned.
CAMILLA, GA, Aug. Mrs. John W.
Ward, wife of John W. Ward, one of
Mitchell county's most prosperous farmers,
died at her home, a few miles from Camilla,
Friday.
The peach crop of this section is immense,
and theoe are more than the people know
what to 90 with. 1t was predicted early in
the season that the crop would be a total
failure.
big Foot" Murphy. as he is known, is
one OF Colquitt county's unique characters.
He is man of powerful frame. standing
six feet four inches in his stockings and
we'll proportloned. In manners he is as
gentle as woman, but when enraged he is a
terror. He has the reputation of having at
one time whipped six men-six brothers at
tackled him in a cow-pen. They were
armed with the poles from the gap, while
Murphy was armed with the staff of a
cow whip, it being only about two feet
long. With that he whipped the entire six,
and never had a scar. This story is vouched
for by the people OF his section. There are
many enthusiastic admirers of this man.
and they say they believe Murphy could, by
training, whip John l.. Sullivan. He is only
2S years of age, and would, no doubt, make
his reputation in the prize ring.
The Mitchal county melon growers are
somewhat unhappy. The crop has been
unusually large, and more money has been
lost than ever known before. Up to July
81, sos cars of melons have been shipped
from Camilla, and it is estimated by expert
growers that at least ne-tourth Of the crop
has been left in the fields there to rot. Very
few growers have made money, and very
little at that.
Up to a few days ago the prospect for
crops in this section was unusually fine,
| cotton being remarkably good, and the
average farmer was happy, even If the pos
poets pointed to very low prices.
The dread caterpillar has made its unwel-
| come appearance in the river bottoms, aud
| is devouring cotton with astonishing
| rapidity.
In some portions of Mitchell county far.
mers are picking cotton, and several bales
are looked for in few days.
Three freight cars were burned on the
side-track at Baconton Friday morning.
| Two were loaded with watermelons, the
other being empty. 1t is thought the fire
was of incendiary origin, and the railroad
company will give the matter a thorough
investigation, and bring the guilty parties
to justice if possible.
