shafts, or barbs, stripped OF their laminae

into practical use, and with a little damp
paper succeeded in getting fair impress

communicated to other workers in the art
and they hailed it with Joy, as it saved
all She arduous trouble of making sulphur
casts, but they never saw the full value
of the discovery, and consequently the art
of plate engraving lay for almost century
before it's true import was discovered and
brought out in ell its great and beautiful
results. Today collectors of plate engrav-

times, and search the world for examples
of these early masters to add to their
collections. Many of these collections have
been presented to museums, where they
may be seen and appreciated by the people.

BLANCO DISCOVERS
BAD ABUSES IN CUBA.
Weyler's Soldiers Unpaid, Unfit
for Duty, CrOwding the
Hospitals.
AMNESTY STILL HANGS FIRE.
Stores Refuse to Furnish Supplies on Credit
to the Military-Inability of
the Government.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says that
much incredulity is expressed publicly
as to the ability of the government to
persuade or compel the cane grinders
to resume planting and to afford them
protection.
The action of the insurgents does
not seem to have been taken into con-
slderation, and without their consent
for exchange of tributes, no amount of
government protection can avail to
prevent the burning of the cane.
Renewed work in incendlarism is
SAID to have begun. Smoke was seen
rising to the southwark of Havana,
distant apparently about twenty miles,
and it is reported that the rebels are
burning plantations.
The application of the decree of am -.
nesty still hangs fire.
General BlancO's investigation into
the condition Of Spain's army in Cuba
has already revealed a deplorable con-
dition of affairs. Not only are frauds
in connection with the payment of
troop, being brought to light, but
proof is being sustained that of the
100000 men sent to General Weyler,
only small percentage are now fit for
active service. The towns are garri-
soned principally by convalescent SOL
diers, too weak in many instances to
offer more than feeble resistance to
the attacks of the rebels.
The military commander in Guines
reports the patients in the mill
tary hospital there to be entirely with
out medicines and other necessaries,
and that the food supply is entirely
inadequate. The small hospital fund,
he states, has long since been expend-
ed, and large amounts are owing to
the shop-keepers. The propristors of
the stores have notified the hospital
authorities that they will not furnish
anv more goods on credit.

UNIVERSITY FIGHT
ON And TN EARNEST.
The Blalockites Win the Honors in
the First Days
Fight.
TRUSTEES ARE TO Be HEARD.
This But the Beginning HOt Times on We'd
nesday-GOvsrnOr Appeals in Be-
half OF the Institution.

Atlanta, Nov. 15.-The State Uni
versity fight was launched in the
house today by message from Cover
nor Atkinson, asking the general as
sembly to give the trustees of ths unl-
versity hearing on the charges OF the
Blalock committee. The governor
submitted, with his message, a letter
from President N. j. Hammond. of
the board of trustees, making similar
request.
This petition from the chief exe-
cutiYe started a spirited fight, and the
friends and enemies of the university
were given q splendid opportunity to
array themselves on their chosen
sides.
To say that the anti-university mon
got the better of the parliamentary
scrimmage is putting it mildly. The
strength Of the faction caused those
who have been deprecating the op.
position to open their eyes in wonder.
Mr.. Blalock began the hostilities
with ? strong defense of the report of
his committee.
Speaker Jenkins, and Slator of Full
ton, pleaded for the trustees.
A surprise was sprung when Boyn-
ton of Spalding, the venerable old SOL
dier, came forward with a vigorous
defense of the committee He declared
that the report was founded on state
ments made by the trustees them
selves.
Mr.. Blalock then offered a substitute
providing that Hammond be given a
hearing in committee of the whole,
and this caused a side issue.
After much wrangling, jenkins ac-
ceptsd the substitute, which was
passed. Lively times are looked for
Wednesday, when the trustees face the
house.

Negro Family Assassinated While
at Work in Their
Field.
POSR-MORTEM REVEALS new FACTS.
Girl Outraged Before She Was Killed-Ths
Authorities Investigating-Several
Theories Advanced.

Falrburn, Ca, Nov. 15.-A most
atrocious murder was committed near
here on the William Westbrook place
last Saturday afternoon. Henry
Turner, his wife, Ida Turner, and his
sister, Mahala Turner, all colored,
were shot and instantly killed while
at work in potato patch near their
home.
Coroner DR.. G. E. Pennington I'M
paneled a jury yesterday and investi-
gated the mysterious affair. All the
known witnesses were examined and
the jury adjourned until Tuesday to
await further developments.
The murder seems to have been we'll
planned, and was executed in such q
manner as to leave no clue to the as
sassin. The dead negroes were found
by small negro boy who had gone
there for plow line which had been
loaned. The alarm was at once given.
The sheriff procured bloodhounds,
and an effort was made to trace the
guilty person. The trail was followed
for several miles, until the railroad
was reached, and then all trace of the
fugitive was lost.
Several theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the killing. One Is
that the negro knew too much about
some blockade stllling that was sup
posed to exist near where he lives.
Another and the most plausible the
Ory is that the girl, Mahala Turner,
had been foully dealt with and the
whole family killed to prevent fur
ther trouble. The last theory is
strengthened by the fact that the
post-mortem made by Drs. Davenport
and LOngino revealed decided evi-
dence of another otime of q more seri-
Gus nature than murder. The coro-
ner's jury will finish the investigation
tomorrow, when more light may be
thrown on the mysterious murder.

taken by the city council at a called

morning.

which was instructed to report on
what was necessary to correct the
overflow of the sewerage system, re.

firm of Waring, Chapman & Farquhar,
who visited the city recently to look
over the system. The main will be
large enough to carry off all the sew
age without delay, and Will greatly
