OUR SOLDIERS ATCAMP GRIFFIN News from the Boys Who Are Waiting for a Dash at the Enemy, RATIONS A LITTLE HARO But the Boys Manage to Have a Pretty Good Time -Athletics in the Camp, Special correspondence to The News. Camp Northen, Griffin, Ga., May 11.— More soldiers are quartered nere now than ever before- in the history of the camp— and the soldiers know that they are hera for business. The tedious work of inspecting the re cruits and organizing them into companies is now going and it will take until tomor row night to finish this work. Some of the men who have been recruited ’Java never handled a gun, and haven't the least idea of military discipline, ami tne work of drilling them and getting the.n into shape for the duties'before them.will fall neavily upon the officers and well drilled men in tiie different companies, it is estimated that it wil take at least a montn to com plete this work. Tiie Macon Hussars, Macon Guards and Floyd Rifles were inspected by United States buigeon Major Taylor. The exam ination was not strict at all for the men who had been favorably passel upon by Dr. Li til.’, before leaving .he armories at .Macon. They were not even undressed. The companies marched to the hospital and each man passed thrc.ug.il and a de scription of complexion, aav and eyes was taken, in cases where the men stood the second examination they were turned down with hardly a sling.e exception. The Volunteers v ere given a rousing re ception when they majc ...1 in yesterday morning. They made a splendid appear ance, and was the first company to come into eamips in lull uniform and equip ment, which will .have to be returned to Macon at the government's expense. They wire quar'iertd at the extreme Southern position of the camp. HOW THE SOLDIERS AIMUSE THEM SELVES. 'So far there has been no drilling, and if the boys assembled here did not possess tiie happy faculty of knowing how to amuse themselves, Camp Northen would ‘be the dullest place 'imagionable. There are a hundred ways in which the men amuse themselves. in the athletic contest yesterday Fred Choate and Bill Lo'fli y. of the 'Hussars, bore off the hon or.-', defeating all comers in wrestling and boxing. Baseball nines ‘have been organiz ed. and tomorrow afternoon the .Macon Guards and the Chatham Artillery will play a game on the parade grounds. Sack and wheelbarrow races and wrest ling matches are scheduled to taike place this afternoon. Boh Hodges is a valuable aequis'ition to Uncle Sam’s army, and when he marched proudly into camps yesterday he was loudly cheered. .Lie will 'be de tailed as one of the post commandan't’s fun makers, and is now practicing for that position, touching tiie risibies of the sol diers from the pine tree districts, who have not yet been curried. Many of the men have brought their musical instruments, and at. night 'the music of a hundred voices and instruments vies with that of nature 'in awakening the echoes around the camp. Though there is no sertous complaint at tlie fare furnished by the government, it is not w.hat many of the boys have been used to, and the coming of the express wagon is watched with eager interest, for some of the more fortunate ones havfe al ready received boxes containing many home made goodies that are the envy of the whole camp. The menu served so far has been as follows: Breakfast —Broiled bacon, stale light bread, Yankee beans and black coffee, with army sugar. Dinner--Reef stew, Yankee beans, stewed tomatoes and mashed potatoes. Supper—©rolled bacon, Yankee beans, rice and black coffee. The supply of these very substantial ar ticles of food is hardly sufficient to feed the men, and a quartermaster’s life is made miserable figuring to make 'both ends meet. Tlie bread which is given the soldiers is of the poorest kind of “wasp nest” variety. It is allowed to s’tand until it is stale, as it is claimed that it is more nourishing. Governor Atkinson spent yesterday at the camps, and said that he was delighted that Georgia had made such a fine show ing. A bulletin was posted on the boards yes terday announcing that <Monijo had been assassinated by some of his own men. This created the wildest excitement and the 'boys expressed the desire to he off for Cuba at once. Macon has sent more soldiers 'to camp than any other city in ’the state, and the companies© she has sent are made up of the finest class Os men, and Major Kenan, who arrived yesterday, is 'being congratu lated on all sidese. I heard one of the United States officers tell him that he had the finest looking battalion of volunteers he had ever seen. 'For the time being the business men of Macon are reaping a harvest from the camp, as t.he 'boys are rapidly getting rid of what little money they have. Goode M. Gperry. <y -A. s=» ‘l’ ■» X -ZV - no he sia-.ls 18 08 • t :.-..v.ur- / x eT,r '’ THE TOPEKA'S POWERS, Called a Cruiser, But Really a Heavily Arm ed Gunboat. The Topeka, which has been called a cruiser, but is really little more than a heavily armed gunboat, comes, in point of size, into a class between the American vessels Montgomery and Yorktown, with the speed of the latter. .Her displacement is I.SOO tons, she is 250 feet long and has 35 feet beams, draws 15 feet six inches loaded, and has 16 *knots speed. There have been various stories regarding her construction, and transactions in which she has figured are somewhat mixed. She was built as the Diagonese by’ Howaldt (Bros., at Keil. Germany, for Portugal, 'but was purchased by the United States from the Thames Iron Works Company, into •whose possession she had come some time before the deal was made. Originally intended, like the smaller American gunboats, for work in rivers where the vessels of deep draught could not go, she was fitted to carry heavy guns for a vessel of her displacement, and her main battery consists of six guns, two of which are of the six-inch class, the others being smaller, while her secondary bat tery contains ten guns, including eight rapid fire and two machines. This arma ment, with her good speed, should make her an extremely valuable vessel, not only for commerce destroying, but where agility’ to give hard blows is needed. She is full brig rigged, but as the use of sails is practical ly a thing of the past on Americann war ships, her masts will probably be stripped of their yards and converted into pole masts with small fighting tops for ma chine guns. MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING.MAY 12 1898 ELECT OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR Knights Templar Have Ad journed, and Meet Next May in Augusta. BARBECUE THIS EVENING At Ocmulgee Park Will Wind Up the Social Features of a Most Successful Conc'ave. The second session of the conclave of Knights Templar of the state convened this morning at 9 o’clock. The first matter to be attended to was the election of officers to serve tor the ensuing year. The election resulted as fol lows: A. \V. Walton, Grand Commander, Rome. Julius L. Brown, 'Deputy Grand Com mander, Atlanta. T. E. Fletcher, Grand Generalisimo, Forsyth. E. A. Cutts, Grand Captain General, (Savannah. Rev. R. B. Headden, Grand Prelate, Rome. W. E. Staley, Grand Senior Warden, Americus. Geo. V. Whitesides, Jr., Junior AA’arden, Columbus. Itobt. H. (Smith, Grand Treasurer, Ma con. Samuel P. Hamilton, Grand Recorder, Savannah. F. O. Miller, Grand Standard Bearer, Fort Valley. Wm. Sweigert, Grand Sword Bearer, Augusta. R. B. Barron, Grand 'Warden. Macon. Immediately after the election the offi cers were installed and at 12:30 the con clave adjourned. The meeting next year will be held at Augusta. This afternoon the visiting Knights and 'invited guests, including the mayor and •council of Macon, will be entertained at a ’barbecue to be given at Ocmulgee Park The ears for the park will commence run ning a't 3 o’clock and the barbecue wil] continue up to 6:30. A number of visitors left on the after noon trains. The meeting of the conclave this year has been highly successful. The attend ance has not been as large as in previous years, a 'fact that is due to the war and the movement of the 'troops rrom nearly all the cities in the state. The annual oration was delivered last night at the Mulberry Street Methodist Church by Mr. AV. A. Davis, who, at the last moment, was asked to take the place of Knight Sam P. (Jones, who was unable ‘to come, owing to sickness in his family. The telegram announcing the inability ■of (Mr. Jones to be (present was received only yesterday afternoon and iMr. Davis had but a short time to prepare for his task. His address was, however, a very beauti ful effort and was pronounced by the Knights as 'the finest that has ever been delivere before a conclave. The music, which wa sa part of the rit ual of the service and occasion, was fur nished by a choir .made u<p of Mrs. Scho field, Aliss Clara Belle 'Roberts, Mr. Wil liam iDunwody and Mr. James MeCardel. The Knights say that it was the most ■beatiful music they have ever heard and that this was one of the most delightful features of their visit to Macon.

Shooting Thirty Thousand Bullets a Minute by a New Method. A Tyneside engineer. James Judge, man aging partner of the AA’alker Engineering and Galvanizing Company, has patented a gun which he believes, when perfected, will discharge the enormous amout of 30,000 'bullets a minute. IMr. Judge de scribed his weapon and there seems to be no theoretical objection to his design. The gun discharges it missiles by cen trifugal force, 'being, in fact, a wonderful development of the ancient sling. .He has a disk 'working in a case a't 15,000 revolu tions a minute, a speed which has already been obtained at practice. From the cir cumference of the disk project two hands, the bullets are poured into the case for a hopper, and as they fall are caught by the hands, which in coming around rain them out in a continuous stream through an or ifice. They are guided in’to a sleeve which may be elevated or depressed, and sighted like the muzzle of a rifle. A great velocitj’ may be obtained by the use of hand power, but the inventor’s 'idea is to use bis gun upon an armored motor car, which sould also have projecting blades like the ancient war chariots, with this difference that they' would be movable. The disk of the gun is about three feet in diameter, and as it travels at the rate of about 15.000 revolutions a minute, 'the cir cumferential rate is 45,000 feet. This would impell bullets with tremendous muzzle ve locity, and at close quarters would, Mr. Judge declares, mean absolute annihila tion to an enemy. . An imperfect machine has already' been tested and found to answer the expecta tions of its inventor. IMr. Judge is an en gineer of long experience, and is the in ventor of water tight doors for warships, of an automatic signaling apara-sus in use on railways, and other contrivances that have •proved useful in various departments of mechanics.

SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL Failroads Will Be Kept Rushed All Day Today Hauling the Cavalry and Infantry. Macon was full of soldiers this moaning and all day long they have been coming in on the Central and the Southern roads. This morning the Sixth and the Third cavalry passed through. In all fifteen train loads arc due on the Southern and they have been coming in all day about forty minutes apart. The Third cavalry were at the depot for some hours and watered their horses here. They are a fine body of men under com mand of Major H. W. Wessels and have 650 rank and file. They went from here to Everett, where they will take the Florida, Central and Peninsular for Jacksonville and Tampa. The same number of cars of soldiers came in on the Central road on about the same schedule and that road will be haul ing the soldiers all day. This morning a large number of the in fantry left Chickamauga and will be here sometime during the evening and night. The six trains over the Southern carried the Third cavalry, made up of 656 men ami thirty-six officers, supplies and equip ments. These trains were loaded at Chat tanooga and all day yesterday the men were busy placing their animals and equip ments on the cars. The first train left there at 6 o’clock yesterday’ afternoon and arrived at 8 o’clock. A rapid trip was made. Here the route was continued until Evesett is reach ed, when the trains were transferred to the Florida Central and Peninsular. ■Mr. Carty, of the clou tin.-rn. aeeompani.d the first train to Tampa. The infantry regiments will all go to Tampa and will begin having today. The First brigade has present for duty sixty eight commissioned officers and 1,515 en listed men; total, 1,613; absent, forty of ficers and 115 men on detached duly. The respective regiments report as follows: Eighth—Twenty-three officers and 511 men. i welflh—Nineteen officers and 485 men. Sixteenth—Twenty-two officers and 522 men. The Second brigade, composed of the Second and Seventh regiments, numbers about two-thirds of the First brigade, or about 1,100, rank and file. The reports of th.se regiments show that at least one third of the officers borne on the rolls are off on detached duty. These officers will be ordered at once to report to their sev eral commands for duty. Orders have been issued from corps headquarters materially’ lightening the load of the infantrymen for the coming campaign. By the terms of the order the men in the ranks are to be relieved of the knapsack, blanket, overcoat, canvas suit, change of underclothing, soap and towels, which are to be carried in wagons, two of which will be detailed with each company. The regulation load of the infantrymen is about, sixty-four pounds, and this will take off his shoulders about seventeen pounds, leaving him forty-seven pounds to be car ried on the march into Cuba.

It is more than probable that Mr. D. D. Craig will ‘be endorsed for re-election at this meeting. He was the candidate of the working men at the last election and served with distinction through the last session oif the house. His friends think that if he is willing to allow the use of his name again his re-election is a certainty, and it is understood that he is not averse to the honor. Their are other aspirants who have their supporters, but the sentiment seems to be in favor of Mr. Craig. Messrs, -a. N. Kendrick and Joe James are prominently mentioned and both of these gentlemen would make splendid representatives and Jrave strong 'following, but it may be said with certainty that the sentiiment at present favors'Mr. Craig. This is the first meeting and it will be watched with the keenest interest by the other candidates. The nomination by this element Os any of the gentlemen men tioned means that the others who are seeking the nomination wilt have to form their combinations, as it is a foregone con clusion that the candidate of the working men will 'be elected. Messrs. John R. Cooper, 'Roland Ellis ami S. A. Reid are practically announced candidates and it is thought very probable that Col. Joe Hall and Mr. A. W. Lane will be in the pot.

OISBAND STATE TROOPS • Will Be the Result if the Order is Carried Out anti Leave State Defenseless. The arms of the Georgia militia will, within the week, be taken from them and the companies will be ineffective for any kind of defense. Orders sent out from the war department indicate that this will be done for the purpose of arming the Georgia quota in the United States volun teers. It will require almost the entire lot of arms and equipments now held by the militia to furnish the 2,460 soldiers at Griffin. ’Many of the arms are defective and with these thrown out the remainder will be all the Georgia companies possess. The orders not only’ state that the arms of the militia shall be used to equip the raw recruits, but also outlines the manner of procedure. One of the orders was i. ued on April 23 and the other on May 5. They are substantially the same. They say that as soon as the first regi ment of United ‘Slates volunteers is nuis t. red in the officer in command of the camp shall detail a lieutenant as chief ord nance officer. After this .the governor of the stale shall furnish to the ordnance of ficer a complete invoice of the arms and equipments in the possession of the militia belonging to the government. The ordnance officer is then io forward to the chief ordnance officer in Washing ton what amount of arms the recruits can be given from .those held by the militia and then the chief ordnance officer will send blanks and other papers to the chief executive calling for the arms. 'rhe governor will then moke a requisi tion on the captains of the companies for the arm.- and they will 'he turned over to the stale ami finally delivered to the officer ■in e.niaiand of the United States volun teers and hy him turned over to'the proper eii’iCrts for disit ibution among the re cruits. This is the .process outlined in the order of toe war department, to get >;i»e state's soldiers .quipment into the hands of the United States soldiers Unless- an order is issued counterman.lilt'; the present order now in effect this method will be followed. Colonel Brown, in command of (lamp Nor then, will appoint his ordnance officer this week and in a very few days the demand upon the militia for-a surrender of arms will be made. rm- tuwi. of this upon the militia, should the outlined policy be carried out, ■will be disastrous. WILL BE MOVED FROM GRIFFIN. It is Expected That the Geor gia Volunteers Will Go to Chickamauga. It is very probable that the troops now stationed at Griffin will be moved to Ch i ckamau ga tcm orro.w. dt is stated in some circles that the movement will be to Tampa, but this is not generally’ credited by those who ought to know something about military. Chickamauga will be empty of the reg ular troops tomorrow and it is evidently the intention of the war department to mobilize all the available volunteer troops at that point for the purpose of better equipping and drilling them. The accom modations at Chickamauga are necessarily much better than those at Griffin and the men will toe more comfortable than they are at Griffin. The railroads have been ordered to have their trains in readiness for the accommo datiovi of the troops from Griffin tomorrow but they have not been given any’ inform ation as to the point to which the troops will be moved. It is fairly certain, however, that by Sunday. Camp Northen will be empty of the troops that are at present there. The English Patent tlUiee Library. If the poor inventor is not entirely ignorant of patent procedure, he knows that the patent office, makes no search to test the validity of his invention, and so he comes to undertake it himself. If he finds that his invention tippears in no previous patent, he is confirmed in his belief that he will at last see his dreams realized and that he will in a short time possess great wealth. If, on the other hand, he finds his ideas have been anticipated, his dreams of fortune fade away like mist before a morning san. and life, as he has known it lor so many weary years—hard, toilsome, pit iless to those who, like himself, lack money— lies painfully clear before his view. A short three hours—or even less spent in this library may plunge the man who entered it hopeful and bright into deepest despair, and it is certain that within its walls many silent trage dies of this kind are enacted week by week and noticed by only few if any of those around, Juut in\enters are a hope ful race, and though some who stiller such a disappointment of all their hopes may never recover from it there is no doubt many recommence their experi ments and elaborate other inventions from which they expect the same, or even greater, realities of wealth and happiness.—Chambers’ Journal, Not Quite Certain.
