MACON MENTION.
II. l.. Ross Dead-Escnpes with n
Broken Leg.

II. l.. Ross Dead-Escnpes with
Broken Leg.
Macon, Ga, Dec S.-Thomas L. Ross,
aged As, died here at noon to-day. He was
once general ticket agent al the union de-
pot and was well known throughout the
state. He was a cultured generous
hearted man who won hosts of friends in
days gone by, but i'll health has kept him
aloof from the world for several years
Hamp johnson, the nego convict, whose
leg was broken by policeman one night
last week, attempted to escape to-day. He
had been placed in a hospital and his leg
put in plaster of paris. This afternoon he
scrambled to a window and jumped to the
ground, ten feet below, catching on one
leg He hoped away before his absence
was discovered. Search was begun and
the negro was arrested a mile from the
hospital. Johnson is a penitentiary con-
Wet, in for twenty years, but broke his
shackles six months ago, came to Macon
and burglarized a store. Policeman Jenk-
ms, in trying to arrest him, had to shoot
the negro and it was this shot that broke
his left leg.
A white boy, 10 years old, reported to
the mayor this morning that he had been
stolen by a band of gypsies at Gadsden
Ala, and brought to Georgia. Last night
while all were asleep in their camp, eigh-
teen miles above Macon, the boy made his
escape and came here. The gypses are
heading this way and arrests may follow.
George H. Low, who died here last week,
left his estate to seven negro children, the
mother of whom was once Lows slave.
Since the war he has lived with her and
reared large family. Fearing a contest
of the will he made deeds of gift to his ILL
Ultimate progeny. 1t has been known for
years that he intended to recognize these
negroes as his heirs but people are sur
prised that he ignored his white relations.

The latest novelty in electric ma
chimes is a bottle-filler. The operator
places a range of bottles communicate
ing by pipes with the liquid to be bot
tied, and provided with electrically
controlled valves. The flow of the
liquid is established and shut off auto
matically, the machine being set IN
operation by the pressure of a button.
The operations of opening and closing
the valves are accomplished by two
sets of electromagnetic, the two circuits
of which are easily under the control
of the operator. When the bottles are
filled the flow is instantly cut off, and
they are replaced by empty bottles
and corked by an attendant. The ma
chine is in increasing use by beer-bot-
tiers, ink and medicine manufacturers.
1t is claimed to be more rapid than the
old siphOn filler, it causes no waste,
and it fills every bottle to exactly the
same height, without any attention
from the operator.
