HORRIBLY BURNED.
Man Said to Be Night Watchman of the New
 Brewery Fell Into Vat of Hot Water.

A mill man told Officer Kirkley and Warden Walton last night that the night watchmau of the new brewery fell into hdt water vat and was horribly burned. He said the mans name was John. His father is the regular watch man, but is off on account of sickness. "A sister of the young man is said to work for August SchFllinger.
 The man was walking around the vat about midnight and fell in. The water came up to his breast and the flesh almost fell off his body. In attempting to save himself the man caught hot pipe and his hand was also terribly burned. With all his suffering he had the presence of mind to draw himself out of the vat. He fell on the ground helpless. Several physicians were called,
 Joseph Joseph, the representative Of the brewery, said there were no hot wa ter watts exposed. He said the man probably fell into the we'll, where the warm water comes from the exhaust.

lent. The rapldity and the precision of the practice with the rapid fir= guns and the extraordinary accuracy with which the huge turret guns were fired were equally noteworthy. There were several matters of less importance like fhe successful use of carrier pigeons, which also deserved comment. In short there is every reason to be satisfied with every detail of ths management of the huge warships from the coming towers to the engine rooms and gun turrets. This is the first time that such a squad ron of modern ironclads has ever been under command of an American ad- miral, indeed 1t is the first time in peace that an American admiral has ever commanded a squadron relatively so Formidable, compared with the warships of other powers. At last we are be- ginning to have navy fitting to up- hold the interests of our people, navy which though too small in size. need fear comparison with no other squad ron of it's size and men,"

WHERE IS CHAT TAN00GA2
Cooler State Has an Eye on the City-Suvey
 Questioned.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 9.-A question has been sprung here which may result in Chattanoga, which has long been known as one of the leading cities of Tennes- see, becoming a Georgia town. Doubt has been thrown upon the accuracy of the survey of the boundary line between hhfs state and Tennessee, and if the very eminent legal authority here is confirmed 1t may be found thhl, Chattanooga Is on Georgfa's soil.
 This view is shared by Col. Wfmbfsh, special commissioner of the state for fhe Western and Atlantic railroad, who has looked into the question in his off, cfa1 capacity, and today expressed his strong belief that correct survey would bring the city of Chattanooga within the confines of this state. The publi- cation of this fact has aroused much in- ferest here, and it is not unlikely that 1t may result in the next legislature pro- Niding for a survey of the boundary.

delegates who have come to the con- vsntfon uninstructed and even some of those who came with instructions have gone so far as to communicate with their constituents asking to be relieved of instructions that they may be free to vote as they deem bsst. Should this drift of sentiment continue until a vote is taken the proposition for a settlement will undoubtedly be accepted.
 The question as to whether settle ment on the lines proposed can be made general appears to be the stumbling block at this time. The committee on resolutions is about equally divided on the question of a settlement and will probably present two reports to the convention tomorrow.
 There were some fiery speeches in the executive session of the convention by delegates from Ohio, Illinois and West Virginia
 Secretary T. T. Lewis. of the Ohio miners, said that no matter what action the convention took 1t would not settle the strike. proposition to admit ad- ditional delegates from Pennsylvania caused stormy discussion. The Illi- nois delegation objected on the ground that if it was allowed this privilege should be accorded to all. The matter was of vital importance, as to admit new delegates it might change the vote and the opposition was so strong that the proposition to admit additional Pennsylvania delegates was voted down. An effort will be made by the officials to bring the convention to close tomorrow, provided the prospects for a favorable vote for a settlement are reached.
