MIsERIEs OF PHOSPHATE MINES
Ill Treated Miners Tell the story of
Their Escape.

Ihe1r t4~cupe.
Three very disappointed men, who re-
Gently left their homes in Philadelphia and
accompanied party of laborers TO Johns
Island, s. c., for the purpose Of working
in the phosphate mines of that place, ar
rived in Savannah yesterday and brought
pitiful story about the treatment they
received at the hands of Italians, who
seem to be in control of the work at the
mines.
The names of the men are Harry
c. Edwards. Edward J. Quinn and Antho-
ny Hines. They were hungry and seemed
completely exhausted having walked the
entire distance from Johns Island to Sa-
vannah, about 100 miles
The story told by the men is that they
recently Joined a party of laborers who
were going to the phosphate mines to
work, having been engaged by the Penn
sylvania employment exchange at Phila-
delphia. They claim that a contract was
entered into before they left their homes,
which stipulated the amount of railway
fare they would be expected to repay the
company that was putting up the funds
to send them to the mines. The amounts
they were to pay for other necessaries,
such as bedding and board, acre also I'M
derstood, they say, but upon reaching the
mines and commencing work, they soon
learned that the amounts to be paid the
company for moneys advanced was about
double what had been agreed upon. Learn
ing these facts they at once concluded to
leave.
Edwards, who is the spokesman, says
the guards, all of whom are Italians, got
wind of the intention of the men to leave.
A close watch was kept and they were told
If they attempted to leave before the
amounts advanced by the company had
been settled violent methods would be
adopted He said the guards pulled their
revolvers and threatened to shoot the first
man who hade a break, but Edwards and
his companions kept a weather eye out
for chance to get away and succeeded in
escaping Friday. Another of the party
also made an effort to escape with them,
but was discovered by the guards, over
taken in the woods and carried back to
camps at the point Of shotguns. But for
the fact that he and his comrades Sc
creted themselves in the thickets, they
would have been returned to camps in the
same manner
The men managed to make their way to
Ashepoo, S. c., where they addressed a
letter TO the Morning News, ceiling of the
rough treatment they had received as well
as the way the others of the party were
faring who had been left behind From
the accounts given by Edwards there seems
TO be great discomfort among the men,
none of whom can get away to tell of the
horrors they are encountering
During a greater part of the day the
men were endeavoring to arrange some
way to get back TO their homes in Phil
adelphia. They were without either
friends or money and were at a loss to
know where to apply for assistance

PAYING TWENTY PER CENT.
Electric Railway BOndhOIders Get
Nearly $4,000.

NeHfly pSO,bDO.
Master Commissioner j. d. Harrell. who
sold the Electric railway property under
order Of court, was busy all day yesterday
at the Office of Messrs. Charlton, Mackall
& Anderson making payments to the bond
holders. The holders of the old Electric
railway bonds were not slow about coming
for their money, and before the day was
over he had paid out all but $1,000 or $4,000
of the amount ne had on hand for the
purpose.
The bid for the property was $211 900
and the interest which has accrued on the
amount makes a total of about $213, 900 to
be disbursed. OF this amount Messrs.
Herman Myers and ]. H. Fall, who pur-
chased the property, paid in $90,679 in cash,
and this is the money MIR. Harrell was
dispensing to all corners who had the
proper collateral
Under the order of court the master
commissioner was directed to pay the
bondholders 20 per cent. of the face value
of their securities. 1t was only the mi
nority bondholders who received the cash,
as the majority bondholders who bought
in the property turned in their bonds and
unpaid coupons to be credited to them pro
rata on the purchase price. There were In
all $4,000 of the bonds of the issue of
Jan. !, 1885, and of these the Myers and
Fall syndicate turned in to be credited
on account of the purchase price 1891 200
face value.
Besides the outstanding minority bonds
the master commissioner was paying also
20 per cent. of the face value of the cou.
pons of the Savannah Street and Rural
Resort railway, and 20 per cent, too, of
the face value of some notes issued by
the directors before the property was
placed in the hands of re-
ceiver Altogether, Mr.. Harrell
issued checks yesterday for between $75,0 900
and $4,000. Shortly after noon his cash
account began to run quite low, but tho
end was near and only few more bonds
were to be paid
1t is possible the holders of these bonds
may receive 2 or 3 per cent. more. or in
all, % or % per cent. of the face value
of the bonds. About 5000 or $1,000 will
be reserved by order of court to await
the settlement Of certain claims for sup
plies. These are supplies furnished be,
fore the receivership. and the question in
volved is whether or not the claims for
them take precedence over the first mort
gage bonds. In case it is found they do
not, this money will also be divided among
the bondholders
Mr.. Harrell thinks he will complete the
work of distributing the cash to-day, and
will simply hold the amount in dispute in
the registry of the court until the right
to ii is determined. Most of the bonds
were of the denominations of $1,000 and
the payments made by Mr. Harrell varied
all the way from $50 to almost $4,000.
With the exception of the dispute over
the few thousand dollars remaining in the
registry of the court, this practically ends

TO PAY A SALARY.
Method of Compensation of City
Court BniIifTs to BE Changed,

~ DC NhtAhScus
The bill providing for a change in the
system of paying the bailiffs of the city
court was sent to Atlanta last night to
be introduced in the legislature. The
bill reads as follows:s
An act to amend section 1853 of the code
of 1882, relating to the city court of Sa-
vannah and regulating the pay of deputy
sheriffs and bailiffs of said court.
Be it enacted by the general assembly
of Georgia, that from and after the pass
age of this act the words "the deputy
sheriffs and the bailiffs appointed under
the provisions of sections 4,912 and $50
of this code shall receive 81 per day for
their attendance during each session of
said court" in section 1883 of the code
of laws, this state, of the year 1882. be and
are hereby stricken from said section and
in lieu thereof the words, 1.-THE deputy
sheriffs and the bailiffs appointed under
the provisions of section 4912 and A. $50 of
this code shall each receive a salary of
800 per annum," be inserted.
Sec. 2. All laws in conflict with this act
are hereby repealed.
1t is said the main object of the bill is
to provide living salary for the men who
have to do this work, as their earnings
are very small under the present system

FOUGHT WITH A HAT PIN.
Took Four Policemen to Put Fanny
Austin in a Cell.


1t has been a long time since the po-
lice had a struggle similar to that had
with two negro women yesterday morn
ing. Fanny Austin and Lilly Bucking-
ham, from the Old Fort, were arrested by
Constable Harry Beckett at Oglethorpe
ire of the women was stirred, it took
the constable but a few seconds to realize
it would require a small sized regiment
to tow them to the barracks.
Without allowing the women to be the
wiser about his movements, the constable
stepped to the telephone in Reds drug
store nearby and requested that assistance
be sent from the police barracks. Police
man Collins, who was on duty, was sent
to the place and after repeated attempts,
finally succeeded, with the assistance of
the constable, in asserting the law and
landing the women in the patrol wagon.
The struggle proper took place at the po-
lice barracks when Fannie Austin declar-
ed she would not be locked up. She grew
villainous, pulled a long, uSly-looking hat
pin from her head and plunged it at Po-
liceman Collins heart. Fatal results
might have followed had ii not been for
the resistance the pin met in a memoran-
da book in the officers pocket. The po-
liceman was bloody about the neck from
wounds received in the struggle. The fight
grew in violence and Quartermaster Ar
mold was called to assist in getting the
unruly Fanny into a cell. He met the
same fate as Policeman Collins, notwith-
standing he succeeded in getting the hat pin
from the womans clutch.
Send more men," said one of the Off
GERS when Fanny again declared she would
not go to the cell. Policemen Lovett and
Kelly responded, and the four officers
picked Fanny up and tossed her gently
into her lodgings. Considerable merri-
ment was felt by most everybody except
Quartermaster Arnold and Policeman Col
Inns, who had been scratched and worried
in the wrestle. Both women We're later
arraigned before the recorder and fined
heavily for their behavior.

No further steps were taken yesterday
in the matter of the mailing up of the

Acting Mayor Hamilton said that

satisfied that further light would be
thrown upon the matter.
There was some talk of plac-
