Atlanta Peach Canneries

The peach canning industry was
once attempted upon large scale
in Atlanta. 1t was during the hot
summer Of 1866 that several enter
prising Northern men combined
their efforts and capital to start a
cannery. A large, two-story build
ing was secured. Peaches were pur-
chased in large quantities, and forty
or fifty girls and boys were engaged
to do the work. Millions of peaches
we're sliced and boiled, and then
packed in tin cans. The cans were
roughly made, and the final solder
ing was hastily done by inexperi-
enced hands. Ono hot day,
thousands of these cans, all ready
for shipment, were piled on the side
walk. They remained there all day,
and the rays of an August sun soon
turned the peaches into a boiling,
fermenting slusb. The cans swelled
up and stood the strain as long as
they could, and then came the
natural result. 1t was little after
midday when the first explosion oc-
Cured. A can on the top OF the
pile exploded, and prominent citi-
zen fifty yards away found his shirt
front covered with the blood-red
fragments of au Indian peach. The
startled man gave a yell OF horror,
and made break for open country.
Other explosions followed in rapid
succession. The young women of
the csnnery made daring attempt
to cover the cans with shelter of
boards; but, by this time, the pile
had turned into regular volcano,
and the girls had to beat a retreat,
covered with peaches. Their eyes
and noses were stopped with peach
pulp, and their white dresses were
dripping with peach juice. The
police stood around and gave orders
for the instant removal of the stuff,
but their voices we're drowned ia the
fusilade of bursting cans. The pro-
prietors of the factory, after vainly
trying TO quiet their riotous mer-
chandise, fled to avoid arrest. The
explosions grew more violent, and
fragments of peaches we're hurled
to a great distance, Some OF the

A remarkable march OF 400 miles
across Siberia, occupying almost a

Russian battalions of line infantry

goods, as the shower OF peach juice
was running them. Every hour
matters grew worse. The mighty
mass of tin cans seemed to squirm

not safe to got within fifty yards Of
the pyramid, as it continued to shoot
off in every direction. At last hand
fire-eugine made its appearance, and
for an hour a steady stream of water
was directed against the cans.
Gradually the explosions grew less
frequent, and finally they ceased en-
tirely. The side-w walks and build
ings for a square around presented
horrible appearance, dripping with
peach loblolly, and the atmosphere
was thick with heavy, fruity odor.
But the citizens in the neighbor-
hood breathed easier During the
sultry night that followed, many a

Investigation Into the Treatment of
Pearl Stone Reveals Nothing
Wronp

The inhabitants of Lowman Hill are
taking a special interest in little Pearl
Stone, aged Z, who lives with her parents
at 1872 Morris avenue. Pearl attends the
Lowman Hill school and is a great favor
ite among her schoolmates and with her
teacher. She stands at the head of all
her classes and is the best elocutionist
in her department She is a very bright
child and her pleasing manners have won
for her the distinction of being the most
popular member of her class.
The neighbors have repeatedly claimed
to Colonel Dan Wyatt, special officer of
the Foster Humane society, that the girls
parents treated her in a cruel manner.
About two weeks ago Colonel Wyatt in
vestigated the case and could find out
nothing that bordered on i'll treatment.
Since his first visit he has received sew
eraI complaints and yesterday he made
a second trip to Lowman Hill. He went
to the house and told Mrs. Stone that he
had received more complaints. Mrs. Stone
is the stepmother of the girl, but was en-
phatic in her denial of the charge of i'll
treating the girl.
1t is claimed by the neighbors that
Pearl is obliged to go to bed at O'Clock
and to get up at $50 and feed and take
care of the horse; that she is not allowed
to play with other children or to attend
any of the young peoples parties. The
neighbors say that last summer she was
compelled to carry water in bucket
from the back yard to the front of the
house to water the grass, and that during
the winter she is not properly clothed,
but is forced to go to school without suf-
ficient clothes to keep her warm. Colo
mel Wyatt told several of the persons who
had made complaints that he had asked
the little girl before if she was i'll treated
and that she said she was not The neigh
bors said that the child was held in such
abject terror that she was afraid to tell
anyone that her treatment was cruel for
fear that she would meet with worse. The
little girl was interviewed by Colonel Wy
att and she said that she was well treat
ed. The girl was asked if she was whip
ped and she said she was sometimes
So far as Colonel Wyatt could find the
child has received proper treatment and
he took no action in the matter. Half
of these cases are simply stories that
have ben Matched in the brains of some
meddlesome neighbors," said Colonel Wy
att I receive many such calls, and when
I investigate I find that the differences
of opinion as to the way a child should
be brought up are at the bottom of the
whole thing. For my part, should say
it was a good thing for child to go to
bed at s o'clock and get up at $50 and do
a little work Probably the horse is a
favorite of hers and she likes to attend to
it got up at 4 o'clock when 1 was a
voungster and did the chores, and 1 think
if was a good thing for me. Why
shouldn't a girl get up early and do a
little work? Early to bed and early to
rise is an old motto and it is good one"

THIS ENDS AUTONOMY.
Cubans Indignant at the Assas-
sinatiOn of General Castillo.

New York, Oct. ga dispatch to the
Herald from Havana via Key West,
says: The outgoing authorities have
struck a heavy blow at autonomy by
permitting (to use an unprejudiced
wOrd) the killing of Gen. Castillo. Gen.
Castillo was not killed in open fight;
he was betrayed by a Cuban guide, and
was captured by the Spaniards on last
Friday and shot on Monday morning.
1t was more satisfactory to shoot him
than to treat him as a prisoner of war.
Castillo commanded Havana province
and was beloved as an able and brave
general by every Cuban under arms.
His killing will arouse a desire for re-
venge that at the present juncture will
lead to prevent acceptance of any
autonomy by the rebels.
With an escort of seven men, Castil-
10 was lying i'll with fever in a secluded
spot when the guide betrayed him. The
exhibition of his body has aroused in
dignation even among Gen. Weyler's s
officers.
Side by side with him in the morgue
was the body of a man who had StarV-
ed to death. The two presented a plain
illustration of Gen. Wey1er's methods
of conducting this war A manifesto
will be circulated and signed by Presi-
dent CapOte and Generals Gomez and
Garcia. which calls upon all CubanS
not to accept autonomy

DROP BALL DANGEROUS.
Breitenstein Says the Down Shoot
Will Soon Wind Up a Pitcher.

Charley thinner, the old chief of the
Indians has said that COrbett let down
in his work for Baltimore, because his
arm could not stand the strain of a
drop ball, which Brother Joe uses
great deal during a game 1t IS a mat
ter of fact that there is not a delivery
that injuries the arm as much as the
pitching of the drop ball 1t necessi-
tates a snap motion, under the strain
of which the leaders of the arm break
down at the elbow in a very short
time. A drop ball is really responsible
for the going of so many lefthanders.
1t is a matter of fact that in former
years left-handed pitchers rarely stay
ed in the game more than a season or
two, when their arms were gone. The
drop ball was responsible for that. In
late years the left-handerS, or at least
a majority of them, have learned that
pitching drop balls is not good for their
arms, and they pitch them but rarely.
rBeitenstein once told me, IF used
the drop ball that I had when 1 first
went into fast company, 1 would not be
in the business now. Left-handed
pitchers always have good drop balls,
and / remember when a left-hander'S
strong hold was his drop ball. You
don't see them using that ball very
much now. When I first signed with
St Louis I had a drop ball that would
fool anybody, and I was dead stuck on
pitching it, too. One day one of the
you're a youngster, but you will never
be an Old-timer in this game if you
keep on pitching that drop ball Just
put that in your valise and you will
last longer and you bet 1 have used it
but seldom since"

WORTHLESS TORPEDOEs.
Their Discovery at Athens Creates g
Great Scandal

Athens, Oct 29.-It has just been ascer-
tanned that all the cartridges fitted to the
torpedoes during the war between Greece
and Turkey were not provided with per-
cussion caps and Illuminating mercury.
Hence if the torpedoes had been wanted
they would have been perfectly harm
less.
The committee of investigation which
was appointed to inquire into the matter
has already decided that two officers,
Rastopoi and Anastasia, must be tried
by court martial on the charge of cul-
pable negligence.
The anti-dynastic newspapers are max
ing violent attacks upon Prince George
of Greece, who was the commander of the
torpedo fiotiIla. The prince, who was a
great favorite of the masses previous to
the war, is deeply effected by these at
tacks. The Asty observes that the scan

PEAVINE HAY.
A Farmer Demonstrated That it is
Good Forage.

Americus, Ga, Oct. 29.-Mr. N. A.
Ray, one of Sumter'S most successful
and progressive farmers, is demOnstra-
ting the value of peavine hay on for
age crop. After harvesting a splendid
crop of oats, Mr.. Ray planted so or 60
acres in peas, and during the past week
cut the vines with a reaper at the rate
of ten acres per day. The yield of hay
was enormous, and surprised even Mr..
Ray. He has filled every barn and out
house on his plantation with peavine
hay, well cured and has enough to feed
his horses, mules and cattle the greater
part of the winter.
After filling his barn to the rafters,
Mr.. Ray packed into bales the surplus
of his crop of peavine hay, and yester-
day sold to the BagIey Grocery COM
eraging 100 pounds weight, or more
than SO tons. This hay readily sells
here at $50 per ton, so the surplus Of
his hay crop, made at comparatively
the value of 26 bales of scent cotton.

HARVARD Is STRONG.
Work of the Big Four EIevens Up to
Date.

Boston, Oct. 29.-Harvard and Yale
have only three weeks more of prepar-
alton before they meet on Soldiers field
and as the date of that all-impOrtant
contest draws near, the playing strength
of both teams and its posi- BILE develop
ment remain as much in doubt as ever.
Early in the season the crimson sup
pOrterS thought it would be a cinch for
Harvard this year to beat Yale, and a
good many Harvard men are of the
opinion still, especially after the VictO-
ry over Brown last Saturday. Thus
far Harvard has been able to win all
of her games without being scored
against. This would go to show that
Harvard is doing very well on the de-
fensive.
There is no doubt that Harvard has
abundant material for a strong line.
Every veteran in the line can be de-
pended upon to do his full share of the
work, with the single exception of
Wheeler, and after the brilliant play
ing by Swain in the Newton and Brown
games, there is no fear for left tackle.
BoUve, Donald and MOultOn are tenn
pOrarily laid up, but they will be back
in their old positions in another week
or SO, and then the crimson forwards
will compare favOrably with anything
that Yale or PennSy can offer.
1t is behind the line that Harvard's s
weakness is apparent. Unless there is
a marked Improvement in the work of
the backs, Harvard's chances against
Yale will not be quite so bright.
The situation at Yale is not too hope
tul Tor the Followers OF the blue. New
ton A. A punctured the Yale line, then
Brown scored as many touchdowns as
Yale did, and last Saturday the Indians
scored a. touchdown and dropped a goal
from the field on Yale. All this goes to
show that there are weak spots in the
Yale line and what in former years
was considered a disgrace at Yale
namely, being scored upon by second
class teams-is now apparently becom-
ing treated with indifference by Yale
men, who say:
I'VE have got the material and Yale
will be all right when she meets Har-
ward. Our team has the life and the
snap, and all the men want is a little
more coaching, and then you will see
a great change in the Yale team"
Judging by the showing made by the
big quartet in games played thus far
this season, Yale is in fourth position
at the present time, with Harvard
third, Princeton second and Pennsylva-
MIA showing the way. The Quakers
have a great scoring team, and PennSy
has won all of her games by Old-time
scores. On Saturday Pennsy rolled up
As points on Lafayette, while all that
Princeton made on Cornell was 10
points A week before Cornell and La
fayette played a tie game, with the
score 4 to T. The showing made by
Pennsy against Lafayette clearly en-
titles the Quakers to be given a lead
over Princeton, if comparative figures
count for anything.

ISN'T IT ON KANSAS?
Public Money Wasted in Indiana in
Printing Reports.

indianapolis, Oct. 29.-Gov. Mount and
Secretary Wilson. made a tour of the
basement of the state house today to
determine whether the money of the
state is being wasted in the printing of
reports of bureaus and state officers.
The executive had not proceeded far
till he made up his mind that thousands
of dollars were being needlessly spent
in this direction every year. In one
room were found 10000 copies of the re-
port of the superintendent of public in
struction for 1894; in another were
nails of the state, and in another great
piles of miscellaneous reports, all of
which the state had caused to be print
ed and none of which had been dis
dributed.
The state printing contract is to be
let tomorrow and the governor propOs-
eS to cut off a great deal of the work.
