MANY SENSATIONS AT MACON.
Case That Looks Like Baby Farm
ing-InfernaI Machine on Rails.


Macon, Ga, Dec. 13.-A sensation was
produced here this morning by an inquest
over the death of a negro infant. It de-
veloped that a white child was left at a
negro woman's house three days before,
and died very suddenly, and to-day a
negro child died the same way. The negro
woman refuses to say who left the white
child with her, and already rumor con-
meets the scandal with a respectable fam
ily. There is a hint that foul play caused
the death Of both children, though the wo-
man was eXonerated in the latter case.
Further investigation may be held.
Patsy Allen, a negro woman in South
Macon, was stricken with an epileptic fit
yesterday, fell in the fire and was fatally
burned
G. A. Josephson and Charles Bradwell
while strolling along the railroad yester-
day. discovered an internal machine with
a fuse attached. They built fire and be-
gan to shake the powder from an opening
in the fuse BY some means it bgnited,
and both men were blown twenty feet
above the ground. They We're I'M
conscious when discovered. They are
badly bruised and burned, but viii re-
cover.
The Progress loan case was not on trial
to-day, as Judge Speer has given Gordon
a day for making a showing why he
should not be held in contempt for not
producing the books.
