THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
1ESERTERS CAUGHT
BEGGING FOR FOOD
Escaped Soldiers From
McPherson Got
Hungry.
NEGROES FIGHT A DUEL
WITH BIG PILE OF PIES
Enjoying liberty lean than twenty
four hours, during which time they had
been without food and water* Hilton
Grogan and Warner Sherrard, escaped
• Idlers from the prison barracks at
Fort McPherson, were brought Into the
city Tuesday morning, tied hand and
f->»t with a mule's halter, and safely
replaced behind the bars, where they
will await courtmartinl. The two sol
diers were caught 14 miles from At
lanta shortly after daybreak by Deputy
Sheriff J. L Heard and Officer L. L.
liattaway, of the district police.
On Monday morning the county po
lk* and sheriffs were notified to be on
th< lookout for two escaped soldiers
from Fort McPherson, the men having
br ken Jail earlier In the day, and by
overpowering the guard and taking
away his gun had made their escape
into the woods beyond East Point. The
two men had been Inmates of the pris
on ward at the barracks, being held
for courtmartlal for some previous of
fense.
On Tuesday morning shortly after 6
o’clock the two soldiers passed the
cainp of a party of county road work
ers at Kandtown postofflce, 14 miles
from Atlanta. L. L- ilattaway, u
Justice of the peace, was In charge of
the camping party, and to him the
two men applied for assistance, assert
ing that they had enjoyed no food for
several days. Ilattaway at once fur
nished them with food, and although
his suspicions were aroused b>' the
presence of two soldiers in full uni
form so far from the barracks, lie had
not heard of the escape of the two
‘dgsperate deserters.
Deputy Sheriff Heard happened to
pass on his way home from a fishing
trip While the me?* were enjoying the
hospitality of their host, and he Im
parted the Information to Ilattaway
concerning the escape of the soldiers.
The two men then confronted* the de
serters with the fact that they were
under arrest, and In spite of their
pleadings, the men were bound hand
and foot with a good stout halter rope
taken from a inule standing near, and
later they were brought to Atlanta and
Identified as the escapers of Monday.
As a result of a warm battle with
atlll warmer pies, Isaiah Gordon, •
stubby negro, was given ten days In
the city stockade Tuesday morning.
Gordon’s opponent couldn't be caught
and will go unpunished for flinging
the fancy pastry.
The custard battle took place at a
bakery at IIS Blmpaon street, at which
the negroes are employed. The two
negroes engaged In a discussion which
waxed warmer and warmer until the
two came to blows. After a few
passes, however, the two men backed
off and began to acale pies, apple,
mince, custard, peach, cocoanut and
lemon, at one another’s heads. The
scaling and flinging kept on for a
good while and every time a coon was
hit, according to thotfe who testified,
a volume of language would pour forth
sufficient to have burned the pies Into
a cinder.
According to Officers Cowan and
Hollis, Isaiah was very much pled up
when he was taken Into custody.

has created a sensation in Paris, Berlin, Vienna and London by his mastery
of the violin. .Mr. Spalding Is only 18 years of age, and has already appeared
In concert with Melba, Patti, Wider, Bruneau and other famous artists,

Mozart, had ever equaled the record, which was made at the same conser
vatory, that of Bologna, which is one of the oldest schools of music In the

TOWEL TREES INNOVATION
IN BATHROMM FITTINGS.
Towel trees are the latest Innovation
In bathroom nttings and are hailed
with delight by the women whose bath
rooms are small and thero seems to be
no practicable place for the regulation
towel rack. In appearance they re
semble a hat tree a little, but of course
are considerably lower and are mad*
altogether from brass. They have three
rounded brass legs, one round straight
rod In the center from which short
cross pieces resembling branches spread
out to hold the towels.
Another new towel receiver Is mads
in the shape of an old-fashioned clothes
horse. It has a round wire shelf In the
renter for clean linen, and above It
three horlsontsl bars over which many
doien towels can be hung.
In every respect bathrooms are fit
ted In a simpler and more sanitary
way this season than ever before. And
because of the hygienic plan on which
they are built will not only be less
difficult to Ifeep clean, but require
practically no work except washing, for
the constant and tedious polishing thut
has been necessary to cleanups** Is
not needed now. Piping has been real
ly eliminated—that Is, any that Is ap
parent to spoil the contour of the walls,
for now It Is brought directly Into the
tubs, basins, etc., without all the colls.
Joints and lengths of tubing that h|iv*
been essential before.
Then, too, the bath tubs and baslna
are being built directly Into the walla
ao that there Is no chance for dust to
gayter back of or under them. Either
done In enamel so that they will collect
loss dust, nnd be little trouble to wash
off with warm water.
In keeping with the other sanitary
fittings, glass rods for the towels are
becoming favorites, and glass shelves
above the basin foi*ouch things as are
in constant use are In great demand.
Everything that Isn’t glass In porce
lain this year. The stools, medicine
cose or chest that hangs on the walls,
and even the rims of the mirrors. As
yet the receptacles for the china or
glass tooth mug, drinking glass and
soap dish have not been made In
pbrcelaln, nnd in braes or nlckle, os
most of them come, need careful at
tention to be kept looking bright. The

It several Inches from the boards, nre
popular and attractive when cemented
Into the walla. If placed In a 'corner,
as ninny of them are now, they can b*
mnde n part of the wall on three sides,
or only on one side. If the shape of the
room is such as to make the other Im
practicable.
Like the tubs, basins are built Into
the walls af the back or In a comer
where both sides are made a part of
the tiling, etc. Made In this way. In
stead of having four or two legs, with
the piping showing beneath, there Is
one wide pedestal nnd ns the tubing
joins the faucets directly In the bowl,
none of It Is seen. Even the receptor
for the shower bath Is built Into the
wall.
This new method of arrangement and
fitting makes a change In the position
of the faucets necessary. In the tubs
they are placed In the side cemented
Into the wall, and come out directly In
the bath. Instead of on the rim, as was
the old style. And the wuste water Is
cart-led off either from the center or
from one end.
The basins ar* naturally similarly
fitted, with the hot and cold water out
let* opening from one side of the lava
tory.
The handles on the faucets are
porcelain, and when the construction
of the apartment makes the arrange
ment of th* piping visible they nre
8tabb*d In Back by Unknown.
