RAN AFoUL OF A LOG.
The City of Macon Puts Back to Port
for Examination.

The City of Macon which went down
the river yesterday morning at 1890
o'clock on her trip to Boston returned at
1880 o'clock. just opposite Fort Ogle-
thorpe she struck a log in the channel.
The shock of the collision was very
severe, and though there was no apparent
damage done, Capt. Lewis decided TO re-
turn TO the city for an examination, as he
did not propose to run the risk Of going TO
sea with damaged vessel.
The sight of the Macon returning up
the river only three hours after her trip
down created considerable surprise, and
owing to the fact that she was listed
somewhat to port the report spread that
she had suffered a severe accident.
The supposition was ill-founded, how
ever. as the list was due to the Macon S
cargo, which bore more heavily upon the
port side, which would easily have been
corrected on the trip by using coal from
the other side.
Capt Lewis sent for General Manager
Sorrel and informed him of the accident
Capt. Lewis thought it very probable that
one of the propeller blades was broken,
though he did not believe there was any
serious injury, as the vessel experienced
no diliculty in Elaking her way back up
the river.
The services Of Diver John Eberstein
were secured and he was sent down to
make an examination of the Macon's bot
tom. He reported that the propeller
blades had been slightly twisted, but that
the injury was not sufficient to prevent
the vessel from making the trip The
Macon accordingly went out again last
night at II o'clock, She was very heavily
loaded, her freight consisting chiefly Of
cotton and oranges
The propeller will be repaired at Bos-
ton, after the unloading of the cargo.

A COUPLE FOR TRIAL.
The Ordinary to Inquire Into the
Sanity of Two Subjects.

The court of ordinary will hold a special
session at the Chatham county jail this
afternoon, to inquire into the sanity or
insanity of Sadie Williams, negro
woman, who has exhibited unmistakable
signs of an uusound condition, and George
Venable, young white man, who was
committed to Jail on a warrant for
lunacy, sworn out by his mother.
Roxy Thomson, The young negro lad
who was sent to jail by the recorder on
the same charge, was to have been tried
also, but he became sick in Jail, and his
father came down from Atlanta to take
him home. Under the circums ances the
ordinary issued an order for his DISCHARGE,
and he was deporJed to Atlanta. This
leaves only two Tor trial.
OF the two, it is probable that Sadie
Williams will be convicted and Venable
set at liberty. Since being in iail he has,
to all indications, come to his senses. He
was suffering al the time from an aggra-
waited attack of alcoholism from which he
seems to have recovered, though there is
no telling whether he will repeat his
otfense upon his release or not The ques-
ton Of his sanity or insanity, however, is
that upon which the jury has to decide.
