INSPECTED THE GALATIANS.
Lieut.. DFeese and Lieut.. Saussy EN-
amino the Battery's Equipment.


An informal inspection Of the personnel
and equipment Of the Chatham Artillery
was held at the armory last night. There
was more than a fair attendance and the
inspection. which was conducted by Lieut..
Dreese and Lieut.. Saussy. revealed a con-
dition of affairs entirely satisfactory to
the officers.
The inspection was preliminary to the
one that will be made within the next Few
weeks by Coz. ". G. Obear, inspector gen
eral of the state volunteers, and was Tor
the purpose of revealing the condition OF
the equipment and showing whether or not
there was any material shortage. None
was shown, but on the contrary almost all
necessary articles Of accouterment are in
the possession of the battery and in this
particular IL is quite ready &c endure the
inspection. Some shortage there IS, OF
course, but this is due to the loss and de-
struction Of articles by the members OF
the proBOst guard thar was quartered IN
the building, does not impair the ef1-
cheney OF the command and can be readily
understood by the Inspector general.
During Col Obears last visit 10 Savan-
nah he requested the officers OF the bat
terry 90 notify him when It would be
ready to stand the inspection, and TINS
notification will be SEM him to-day. He
has said that ne Will adopt the first avail

WAS MIR. STEPHENS SLAVE.
Frank IversOn n Former ServitOr of |
the Great COmmOner.

Frank Iverson. the negro who was con-
vlcted and given "a life sentence
in the Superior Court last week, for the
murder of his paramour, Rebecca Ryals,
has been taken TO the convict camp at
Adrian.
1t was not known at the time of the
trial, but it has since been discovered,
that Iverson was a former slave OF the
late Alexander H. Stephens. 1t seems
that Mr. Stephens slaves were proud of
the fact that they had belonged to him,
and at their request he furnished them
with certificates to this effect after they
had been freed by the war. 1vesson had
one OF these certificates and exhibited il
to his attorneys before he was Saken to
the penitentiary. He stated that he was
only IA or 10 years of age when he obtain
ed his freedom, but that he was one of
Mr. Stephens house servants and slept
at the foot of his bed.
Iverson explained the dramatic manner
in which he made his statement TO the
Jury by saying that he had learned this
BY his association with Mr.. Stephens. Had
he been as careful 10 imblbe the princi-
plies of simple living and high thinking
which characterized the great coennoner
as he was TO seek to initiate his manner

TRACKS ARE DANGEROUS.


The condition of many of the tracks of
the street railway company in every part
of the city has not been materially i'm
proved by the sporadic and spasmodic
efforts 20 repair Them that were made
some time ago. In some places the tracks
have been put in good condition, but in
other. places they are menace TO life
and limb.
Particularly is this true of the old track
on Anderson street. which serves no 9TH
er purpose than 10 preserve the right of
way for the company and destroy the har-
ness of the vehicles that attempt to cross
at any point in the middle of the block.
Accidents Of this minor character are of
frequent occurrence, and unless some
thinS be done to remedy the present con-
ditions other and more serious accidents
will be the result.
All along the street the track projects
three or four inches above the grade, and
an attempt TO cross in any light vehicle
unless made with every care and under the
most favorable circumstances possible
generally ends in some part of The har-
ness breaking and the occupants of the
trap being left to repair the damage and
reach their destination as best and as
soon as they, can. Last night hack
man was endeavoring TO put two pas
sengers TO the Central Railway DEPOT in
time to catch the train for Atlanta and
had drawn up on the south side of the
street As ne attempted 90 turn and cross
the wheels hung upon the track, and the
horse starting, both of the traces We're
broken
In that section OF the city another hack
was not readily obiainable. so that the
best the gentleman could do was TO get
out and assist IN making whatever tenn
porary repairs could be made and would
serve to permit their reaching the deDot
This was done and by the best of good
luck the straps We're patched together ond
the trip to the station made in time. Had
they been compelled to stay overnight. as
was very nearly the case they would have
been subjected to business Inconvenience
and annoyance, Of which the condition of
The street railway company's tracks would
have been the direct cause.
Accidents of this nature and falls from

are frequent and when not serious pro-

HAS ALL THE MEN HE WANTS.
o. 5. s. Co. strikers Are the Only
Losers Through Their Action.

Losers through Thetr Action.
The Ocean Steamship Company's labor
ers, who went on strike last week, have
lost the fight. That was no more than
expected by all but themselves. Ordinary
intelligence should have foreseen the re-
suit. Agent c. G. Trezevant said last
night the company has all the labor it
wants and that there is not the least trou-
bic about getting the work on the wharves
and on the ships done in reasonable time
About fifty of the strikers went back to
work yesterday morning MT TrezeVant
says many of the new men who have been
taken on have proven themselves good
their places. The result will be that many
OF the strikers Will not be able 10 get
places II they should apply. 1t looks very
much as If nobody is 10 get any benefit
out of the strike, but that many of those
who engaged in it, on the contrary, will
suffer.
A keeper of a barroom in Yamacraw.
who is influential with the wharf laborers,
said, during the day that most of those
who are returning TO work are accus TOM
ed 10 trucking instead OF working in the
hold. The latter class, ne says. has not
50 many men applying for their posi-
tons, as they find this work very hot in
the summer. T>s company, however,
pays more for the work In the hold than
that on the wharves. The man went on
10 say that he had not favored the strike.
and that he had refused to lend the strik-
ers money, as some of the bar men were
doing. With other ways than working to
get money the laborers might be expected
to deliberate for some time before re-
turning to their places.
The steamship Kansas City was sched-
uled to san yesterday at 1880 O'Clock She
did not get away until Two hours later,
but Agent Trezevunt said the delay was
not wholly due TO the strike, as there was
a great deal of freight 10 be loaded aboard
her. The City of Macon arrived in the
morning and gangs were at once put tC
work discharging her. Mr. Trezevant does
not see that there is any reason to antici-
pate any more trouble.
The strike has been remarkable IN one
particular That IS It's absolute peaceful
ness. No disorder of any Nhd has been re-
ported, and the negroes have conducted
themselves in a manner for which they arc
to be commended. They were misguided il
their strike and in going on il for such g
frivolous reason, but no criticism can bt
made of the order they have maintained
throughout.
