4 HOSPITALS ARE INADEQUATE, And as a Result Many Men S Have Lost Their Lives. SOMEBODY IS TO BLAME Description of Some of the Horrible i Sights that Can Be Seen Any Day at Chickamauga. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 26.-—The con dition of Uie hospitals at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park is uaost deplorable. They are poorly equipped, dirty over crowded and perfect deus of disease and suilenug. . The most pliable sights are witnessed there <laiiy. M» n die lor w ant of nursing and attention. Supplies do not come when ordered and the surgeons are sadly handi capped in their care tor the sick. Gen. Breckinridge has taken personal charge of all aiis oi tuis character in camp, and Has succeeding in greatly remedying tilings, however, the condition of the hospitals is yet frightful. Altuougn many of the surgeons, to all app, araiices ait competent, me trouble lies witn higuer oliicials. Requisitions are made for more tents, but tuey cannot be furnished. Nurses are lacking. Hos pitals nave been placed in low, marshy grounds, although dozens of eminences stood close by. Gen. Breckinridge was shocked beyond expression at me condi tion of affairs he found upon bis arrival. He reprimanded medical officer* lor in competency in many instances, and at once caused the erection of Sternberg hospital, the only really decent one in the camp. Men in the hrst stages of ty phoid lever are placed on cots side by Hide with men delirious and in a dying condition. Convalesce'nts are in the same tent. Lieutenant Ixird, of the First Maine Regiment, was a victim of such circum stances. A local undertaker went for the body of a dead .soldier, and , hearing the most heartrending cries, stepped inside a tent. On one side was a dead body covered with tiles. On the other was a man raving and delirious. Lord was taken to the home of Undertaker Sharp, where he is slowly recovering. Convalescents, weak and emaciated, are sent to the city to take trams for their homes. They are not provided with ra tions, and are so weak that they are com pelled to lie in the train sheds and on depot Doors and lie dumped into trains by railway employes. The proper food is not provided for the sick. Head bodies are allowed to remain in the hospital tents among the sick for several hours. Not a hospital in camp has a place to put its dead. The few nurses are worked night and day without rest, and cannot properly per form their duties. Ice, milk and other things of a most simple character, that would alleviate the sufferings of the sick, are not in many cases supplied. The utter lack of organization and sys tem in the medical department is largely responsible for this stale of affairs. There' are 4,880 sick men in camp. Five hundred and sixty have typhoid. Until lately very few supplies of any sort have been furnished the medical department, according to the statements of the sur geons. Men have begged and prayed not to be sent to the hospitals to die. Pri vate hospitals have been established by the Knights of Pythias and others in the city, where as many are sent as possible. The testimony of the men who have been for weeks in the hospital Is the best evidence of the horrible condition of af fairs. The hoapitala at Chickamauga will have to be maintained until far into the win ter. Gen. Breckinridge has won the love and esteem of all the army by his inter est In the men, and the Sternberg hospital, which he caused to be erected, is a model of nixtfness and cleanliness. It, too, though, is becoming overcrowded. CA.BTOn.T2k. BekTß the Ihe Kind You Have Always Bought Biß T re KING ROBERT OF FISTIANA. Considerable Interest Over the Fight. Planned bv Bob Himself. New York, August 26 —George Consi dine said yesterday that, he had received word from the Hawthorne Club that the date of the Corbett-McCoy Dght had been changed to October 1. Considine sent back word to the effect that the time suited him. “Corbett is in San Francisco,” continued Considine, “although I have not heard from him. 1 suppose he will wait till to morrow before writing me. The mill will take place. There is no doubt of it. Af ter remaining in ’Frisco three days Jim will take the train back East and resume training." Just at present, however, stock in the gloved argument between James John Corbett and Norman Selby, scheduled to take place at Cheektowaga, is selling be low par. There was no hope held out by the grief-stricken Corbett when last from to support the last promissory note of the Hawthorne Athletic Club that the contest would take place either September 25 or October 1. Until Corbett is heard from the Buffa lonians—or rather the New Yorkers who are the moving spirits in the Hawthorne Club, are not likely to take any action. Norman Selby has stopped his hard work, but will not allow himself to lose all the benefits already gained by faithful "preps.” Will Bob Fitzsimmons be given the chance should Corbett feel inclined to withdraw from Eistiana for the time be ing? That is the one question that now interests all followers of the short-haired clan. Not since Martin Julian presented Bob as a substitute on the altar of Corbett’s sorrow has His Freckled Majesty been heard from. The Hoosier Kid. Mr. Selby McCoy—delivered the brief opinion that Fitz was "not on the level” and retired to cogitate. In coming out into the open and offering to again don the mittens Champion Bob departed from the role that he has consistently played ever since that St. Patrick's Day affair out in Nevada. Fitz has starred in “The Match- Maker"—that is, he has been busy out lining matches for the other fellows—a jlan just as efficacious as a barbed-wire fence In keeping himself out of the ring. The offer to take Corbett’s place, how ever, knocks down all those barriers of his own building. McCoy may have a chance to vault to the top without tack ling Peter Maher, Tom Sharkey, Jim Jef fries and all the other fistic guns of vari ous calibers whom old Smooth-Bore Fitz had elected to make things pleasant for the young Hoosier before he could get near | enough to the house of Fitzsimmons to drop his card through the slot. Perhaps it is idle to chatter about the I outcome of a Fitzsimmons-McCoy clash I before any such match is made. The Haw thorne Club, however,will be whirlpool of debt at Cheektowaga. The F : tz-McCoy is sue will attract the attention that has been given the McCoy-Corbett "preps.” Neither Tom Sharkey nor Peter Maher would prove half the drawing card that ! Fitz would be. The “Freckled One" will stick to the stage this year. He Is to ap- I pear with Edward Harrigan in a revival i of “The Mulligan Guards Ball,” but the chances are be will bid Thespis hold the curtain, while he tackles McCoy, If Oppor tunity will only step upon the stage of action. Fitz has displayed the trumps in his hand. It remains for the Hawthorne Club and Norman Selby to call it. That, “the Kid" has a chance —a good chance—is cer tain. He can hit Fitz—that's certain, and perhaps he can stay with him and keep out of harm’s way longer than Corbett did out at Carson. However with a limited round contract before him he might find it a hard matter to put Fitz to sleep in 20 rounds for Fitz took as pretty a licking as any man ever got in that ring in the bierra Nevadas, stood by his battered gory guns and then won out by a punch!

LESS IHU W EXPECTED. The Warehouse Men Say That the Price of the Staple Tnis Year Will Inevitably be Low. The stock of old cotton actually on hand in Macon is 1,109 bales. A personal canvass was made this morn ing and every warehouse in the city was visited. Following is a correct list show ing the exact number of bales, both old and new at each warehouse: Old. New. Willingham 250 68 Heard & Moore 194 25 W. A. Davis 245 15 F. S. Hardeman 38 21 B. T. Adams 225 15 English, Johnston & Co 5 50 B. H. Ray 0 0 Mayer & Watts 0 7 Ben L. Jones 152 15 It will be seen from the above table there is not as mleh old cotton in the city as many people think. The new cotton has been coming in rapidly during the last few days and in the course of a few weeks the warehouses will be full. zThe opinion of warehouse men is that the price of cotton will be low. Mr. Moore, of the firm of Heard & Moore, in speaking of the price of cotton, said: “The Texas crop will be large and that of course will cut the price of cotton in this state. The Texas crop from all advices will probably be 3,000,000 bales. The crop west of the Mississippi river will be large and this, of course, will cut the price. I do not see any chance for the price to go up as there will be so much on hand. Mr. B. T. Adams said that he did not see any hope for the crop this year. Many of the warehousemen think that the crop will be as large as ever this year and say that the farmers who 'were in the city yesterday reported that the crops were good in spite of the wet weather. It is probable that Georgia will turn out over a million bales this year. The rains have not been general all over the state and there are some portions which have not been damaged very materially. The 216 bales which have been brought into the city this year have not brought over 5 cents. The cotton which is coming in now is stained and gin cut and is very poor in quality and consequently it cannot bring a very high price. The farmers are blue over the prospects of a low price and as the crop will be somewhat short and the price low, will get a great many of them in debt. The warehouses will be full in itwo weeks. Many of them have sold out their supply of bagging and ties and have order ed new stocks. TO HELP THE WIVES And Children of the Soldiers Now at Knox ville. The Soldiers’ Relief Association will hold its regular meeting this afternoon in the parlors of the Public Library. Mrs. W. ID. Lamar is still very ill and will be unable Ito preside at the meeting.

Atlanta, Aug. 26.—The question of mus tering out or of retaining in the service the Third Georgia regiment has aroused much dissension at Camp Northern. The officers say that not ten men want to Macon news Friday evening, august 26 189*. go home. Those of the men whom the offi cers permitted to be seen are almost unan imously in favor of being mustered out and an enlisted man has telephoned to the Associated Press that not 3 per cent of the regiment favors disbanding.

A petition to become a bankrupt has been filed in the clerk’s office b>, Judge . Allen Fort for W. B. Nichols, of Unadilla. Nichols was a prominent merchant of Unadilla and had been in business for some time. He did a tremendous business last year but this year his trade fell off and he now prays to become a bankrupt. His liabilities will amount to $15,000 and the assets are not given in the petition. In the petition he states that he owes money and is unable to pay It and that he wants to become a bankrupt under the re cent law. Commissioner Erwin said that the peti tions have not been coming in as rapidly as the public would think. So far only three have been filed in the clerk's office here.

He says that all the petitions will be referred to the referee at onee and that he would decide on them at once. NO REPORT YET. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 26.—The inves tigating committee appointed by the Knights did not report today as expected and has asked for more time. A HUMILIATED DONKEY. One Who Was Taught to Use His Feet, Not His flrains. It is no reproach to he called an ass. He Is full of brains, pluck and will power, and it is boastful to say that you have got the best of one of them. But I’m conceit ed, I am, for I beat the most intelligent ass that ever made up its mind to humili ate and trouble me. I hired him to go camping in the Yosemite valley. I picked him out of a band of donkeys, and the ground of my selection was his cheapness. The owner asked less for him than any animal in the bunch. He stood about to my belt, and I han dled him as if he was a baby, lifting him up and dropping him for fun. That didn’t seem to bother him. He slept, or dreamed at least, right through it. But one day he fell to his knees when I let him down, and I laughed at the sudden awakening. That hurt the donkey s feelings. He looked at me over his shoulder, his ears pointed straight at me, and I believe he took a secret oath to get even. At any rate, from that time on he made my life a burden. He swelled when I cinched on the pack. He laid down in the dust when we were in a hurry. Rolling on the pack, he broke everything breakable, and during the night he trampled upon aud rolled on any pile of goods that was left near Whenever he succeeded in doing any damage he seemed to me to wear a malevolent smile, and the hardest licking I could give him failed to remove the expression of triumph from his face. No, sir; an ass is no ass. But man isn’t, either—not all men. One morning as I was packing him I conceived a plan of revenge I put on all the stuff in a round pack that would help him roll; then I made the top flat—per fectly flat and quite broad. When all was ready, we started off, and I let him have all the rope he wanted. He took a lot, got well ahead of the line and suddenly drop ped, stretched out and rolled He swung over and over till at last he landed on the flat top of the pack and stopped There i he lay, bead down and feet in air, kicking ; and struggling, but unable to turn down. IHe was caught. I ran up, and, sitting I down right at his head, I laughed I guyed ; him and shouted my delight in his face i upsidedown. It must have, been tiresome, I I but I was merciless. I let him stay there i for half an hour, while all the fellows got I around to help me make fun of the don ‘ key. His ears gradually sloped and hung loose and meek, dragging in the dust. His i eyes closed. At last he ceased to kick He j kept quiet and gave in. Then I helped him up. It was the most humiliated looking don key, I ever saw. His ears were in mourn- ' ing and he kept his face turned away His head hung !<■*< and his tail did not budge. Os course we all guyed him all day, and he seemed to acknowledge the corn abso- j lutely. But he wasn't conquered. The next morning he rolled on our cooking utensils, and, though that cut his back a little and I bruised him, he had the satisfaction of doing us irreparable harm. But I wasn’t I through, either. I knew he wouldn’t roll on his pack any more, and I thought I could stop the other trick. The next morn ing after we had cleared up our camp I covered the smoldering ashes of the camp fire with dust and grass and put on the top of it all some old cans and rubbish, straps, ropes and things. Then I vxrned loose the ffcs and walked away He i browsed along up to the rubbish, smelled lof it and smiled. His ears lay back hap ! pily and he steered himself up beside the I pile. Then he sank upon it aud rolled joyously, viciously. He rolled the cans flat and bored his way down through the other stuff till he struck the ashes His I spine cut. deep into the fire. He uttered a squeal and rolled out of ■ the fire and up to his feet, his back curved high like a camel's. There was a big burned spot about as big as a saddle, and it must have hurt, but the ass suffered most in mind. He looked ashamed, cowed, | humiliated almost to death, and as we laughed at. him he seemed to shrink np into a ball. He never got over it. Alter that he never used head any more (MAY DECIDE ON OCMULGEE MILL Prison Commission Has About i Come to a Determination as to the Site. L WITHIN NEXT FEW DAYS It is Expected That They Will Find Ocmulgee Mill Preferable to That at Juliette. There is good reason to believe that the prison commission will come to a decision with regard to the site for the peniten tiary in a very short time. There is also good reason to believe that the site selected by the commission will be at Ocmulgee Mills, belonging to Mr. * Walter Lamar and formerly the old Nut ting homestead situated about three miles from Flovilla on the Ocmulgee river. This site has already been described in ' detail by The News. It is one of the most beautiful in the state and the commission ers have already -looked with favor on it for the penitentiary if it can be secured at a price in accordance with the means in the hands of the commission for the purchase of the site. Ocmulgee Mills was purchased by the late Colonel Henry J. Lamar with the in tention of placing water power station there for the transmission of electricity to both Macon and Atlanta. It is situated in a magnificent rolling country in a splen didly wooded country. The water power furnished by the nat ural dam on the river at this point will give five thousand horse power and this can be easily increased to ten thousand and at a very small outlay. It seems that the commissioners are hesitating between this site and that at Juliette about forty miles above Macon and a short distance down the river from Ocmulgee Mills. They do not hesitate to say that these are the two best sites that they have seen in the state and they have now made a thorough investigation of all the sites that have been offered to them. They will probably come to a decision within the next week or ten days or it may be sooner than that. Os course the location of the peniten tiary within a short distance of Macon will be a good thing for the merchants who will have an opportunity to get the con tracts for some of the supplies. The location at Ocmulgee river is re mote from any town and the land around it will be sufficient to afford ample facili ties for the development of the plans that the commission has in view. The Southern railway will in all prob ability build a spur track from the main line to the penitentiary site if it is located at the Ocmulgee Mills. At Juliette the mills would would be on the main line and all that it would be necessary for the rail road to do would be to build a bridge over the river at this point. This they have already consented to do in the event that the commission decides upon this site. c? -A. T O n x -A..

Nearly all of the pains and aches, nearly all the weakness and sickness and suffering of women is due to disorders or disease of the organs dis tinctly feminine. A woman who suffers in this way is un fitted for wifehood and motherhood. Ma ternity is a menace of death. Thousands of women suffer in this way because their innate modesty will not permit them to submit to the disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average physician. These ordeals are unnecessary. Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has dis covered a wonderful remedy with which women may treat and speedily cure them selves in the privacy of their own homes. This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Fa vorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned. It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and rests the tortured nerves. Taken during the critical period, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. Thousands of women who were once weak, sickly, nerv ous fretful invalids, are now happy, healthy wives, because of this medicine. It is sold by all good medicine dealers and no honest dealer will advise a substitute. .“ When I commenced using Dr. Pierce's med tanes some three years ago, ” writes Mrs. Ella T. Fox, care of W. C.
