POISON IN THE STEW.
Troops at Fort Mcpherson Eat Bad
Meat and Some May Die.

ATLANTA, Sept. g. - A wholesale
poisoning occurred at Fort Mcpherson
yesterday, as result of which 275 SOL
diers are now in the post hospital from
having eaten stewed meat prepared over
plght by the mess sergeant.
OF the 275 men reported poisoned, 90,
1t IS said, are seriously and violently i'll,
and several Of that number may die.
The affair created the greatest excite
ment at the fort, and it was given out
that an official investigation was under
way, ordered by the colonel in COM
mand, to place the blame where 1t be-
longed. The most rigorous guard is
kept over the hospital and the officials
refuse to make any statement about the
matter.
The hospital was said to have been a
scene of excitement and confusion yes
terday, and the working surgeons, the
hurrYing nurses and the groans and
prayers of the sick men made a scene
the like of which was never before wit
messed at the fort.
1t was hard matter to ascertain pre-
cisely what kind of meat caused the
wholesale poisoning of the soldiers, but
from what could be gathered it is be-
1ieved that the meat was a stew pre-
pared over night in a vessel that caused
poison to cOntaminare the meat before
1t was served for breakfast.
The official investigation will prOba.
bly, bring out some very interesting, II
not sensational facts.

She Will Defend the Cup Against
Shamrock III.
NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. 5.-The yacht
Columbia, champion of 1899, has been
chosen to race against Shamrock II in
defense Of the Americas cup. This de-
cision was reached today after a confer
ence lasting two hours between the
members Of the challenge committee.
All the committee were present. Com
modore Lewis @. Stedyard presided.
The discussion was exhaustive. The
performances of the two boats were
critically compared. The conclusion
was that the behavior of the Columbia
was far more consistent than that of
the Constitution and that in the circum-
stances there was no alternative but to
name her as the defender of the cup.
It was held that while the decision
might be distasteful to the syndicate
who own the Constitution the committee
was compelled TO choose the Columbia
the races have shown none of the erratic
form manifested by her rival

There are people who say that the
benefit derived from the use of put-up
medicines is imaginary 1t is not the
case with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton, which makes weak women strong
and sick women we'll. A woman may
imagine she's weak, or may fancy she's
sick, but her imagination cant add forty
P0HNdS to her zOetght. The positive
proof of the curative power of vFavorite

of health which is recorded in face and
form, of strength which can be tested,
and weight which can be registered in
pounds and ounces.
The general health of women is so
intimately connected with the local

when these are diseased the whole body

WAGE QUESTION.
Coal Creek and Tennessee COmpanie
Trying to Settle 1t.

Coal Creek and Tennessee Companies
Trying to Settle 1t.
KNOXVILLE, Sept. 5.-The Coal Greek
and Tennessee Coal companies have
made three propositions to their miners
to settle the wage question for another
year.
These propositions are, first, to adopt
the 1900 scale for another year; second,
to adopt any changes at any time the
other Coal Greek mining companies
may agree upon; third, to adopt a new
scale which has been prepared, read
justing the prices paid for mine work.
This increases the cost to operators cent
per ton on all coal mined.
Answers to these propositions from
the miners are expected today by the
operators. In the meantime the ma.
jority of the Coal Greek miners are out
on strike.
The Knoxville Iron company and the
Royal Coal and Coke company mines in
the Coal Greek district are unaffected
by the strike.
