LIVELY FIGHT
WITH STRIKERS.
Wire Makers’ Trouble Culmi
nated in a Scrap this
Morning.
Cleveland. Sept. 19 —As a result of the
attempt of a party of twenty-two non
union men to enter the works of the
American Wire Company today where a
strike has been on for some time a % tched
battle took place between the strikers and
the non-union workers. Clubs, stones and
slung shots were freely used, and while
no one was seriously injured, a number of
men were severely bruised and cut.
The alleged trouble was started by a
non-union man throwing pepper into the
eyes of a striker who was endeavoring to
prevent the former from entering the
works.
The strikers closed in and for a few
minutes there was a mass of struggling
and fighting men. At the approach of the
police the rioters dispersed. Only one ar
rest was made. The non-union men did not
get in the works.

POSTOFFICES
AT EVERY HOME
New Order With Regard to
Collection of Mail From
the Houses in Cities.
BOXES MUST RE APPROVED.
And Everyone Will Be Able to Have
the Box Placed and Collected
From By the Carriers.
It is known that many people have pri
vate mail boxes on their premises. These
boxes have been of a varied assortment,
according to the owner’s idea.
Some are of wood, others are of iron,
and in style they vary a great deal. The
mail carriers have been depositing mail
and collecting it from the boxes the same
as they do at the regular street boxes. The
mail carriers were held responsible for the
collection and delivery, regardless of the
box, be it of a safe kind or not. Now an
order has been passed by the postoffire
authorities that mail from domestic boxes
shall only be collected and deposited, the
postman being held responsible, when the
are of the type required by Uncle
Sam. The September issue of The Postal
Guide contains the following order anent
the boxes:
“Ordered, That in all cities and towns
having free delivery, the postal system be
extended to include house to house col
lectiosn, and this system is hereby ex
tended to all rural free delivery routes,
which have been or may be established.
“Postmasters will observe the following
rules:
“(1) The householder must, for his own
convenience and advantage, and at his own
expense, supply a suitable box.
“(2 )Postmasters are instructed to give
information about the boxes and encourage
householders to put them up. Inasmuch
as the general use of boxes will increase
the safety and speed of the mail, the de
partment desires this service introduced
in all cities and towns as speedily as pos
sible, and to that end all postmasters,
clerks and carriers are ordered to facili
tate its introduction.
“(3) No objection will be made to the
employment of letter carriers and other
postal employes out of office hours in the
introduction of these boxes.
“(4) The postoffice department will not
assume the responsibility of collecting
mail deposited in any other collection
boxes than those recommended by the
commission and tested by the departrflent;*
and the selection of collection boxes is
therefore limited to those thus recom
mended and tested as hereinbefore de
scribed. “Ch. Emory Smith.
“Postmaster General.”
Four styles of boxes made by as many
firms have been tested by the department
and adopted. Parties desiring these boxes
will purchase them from one of the firms,
according to the style box desired, and
notify their local postoffice that they de
sire it put in position.
Any one desiring information as to
where to get the boxes will be told all
about the matter by calling on the post
master. The boxes save one the trouble
of walking to a street mail box to post a
letter.
Tbe collections from them are as regular
as the collections from the street mail
boxes. Whether they will be used to any
extent here cannot be said.
In a test made of the new system it was
found that the carriers did not take any
longer time in stopping at each door to
collect and deliver the mail than is found
necessary under the present system.
The householders were delighted with
the convenience of posting letters at any
hour ofthe day or night without going out
doors. It also saves the carriers time spent
in ringing door bells and waiting for some
one to receive the mail.

Academy of Music Will Be
Opened for an Attraction
this Week.
WAITING FOR THE CARNIVAL
Before the Regular Opening Takes
Place—lmprovements in House
Policy of Management.
The Academy of Music will be opened
on next Friday night with “A Boy Want
ed.”
This, however, will not be looked upon
by the management as the opening at
traction proper having been booked for the
purpose of tilling in a date for the com
pany. There is, therefore, no guarantee
attaching to the attraction so far as the
house or the press is concerned.
It will be the policy of the management
of the Academy of Music this year to keep
the patrons of the house informed as to
the class of the attraction booked. The
list of bookings is the best that has been
made at the house for many years and the
patrons of the Academy can rest assured
that they are getting their money’s worth.
The house has been lighted by electricity
throughout. The painting of the new drop
scene and the re-touching of the scenery
has been given to Mr. Pinkston, who has
charge of the building of the floats for the
Carnival Peace and War Spectacle. He
will not, however, be able to commence
this work until after the Carnival.
The opening attraction at the Academy
will be Field’s ministrels during the Car

INFORMATION,
Board of Inquirv Fails to Find
Names of Guiltv
Parties.
San Francisco. Sept. 19. —The hoaid of
survey appointed to discover which of the
Tennessee volunteers are ■responsible for
the outrages on the Thomas family, has
reported to General Miller that the board
finds it is unable to discover the names of
any of the participants in the riot except
those of the four Tennesseeans who have
been tried already by courtmartial —An-
derson, Davis, Clark and Scruggs.
In the report the board states the belief
that members of the Kansas, New York
and low’a regiments and the California
heavy artillery were part of the mob, but
the greater part of it was from Tennessee.
There is no evidence to show that in
jury to the property of the Thomas family
was authorized by any other than the Ten
nesseeans, and it is believed by the board
that most of the members of the other
commands that joined themselves to the
Tennesseeans were attracted as spectators.

MERCER OPENS
ON WEDNESDAY
Students Have Been Coming
in on Every Train for the
Past Two Days,
PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT
Fora Successful Term—The Enroll
ment of New Students Will Be
Exceedingly Large.
For the past two days the trains have
been crowded with students who are com
ing to Mercer and every train that naw
comes into the city still brings more.
Mercer will open this year with brighter
prospects than ever and the faculty is
highly elated. All of the members of the
faculty have returned and are ready for
work. Professor Pollock, the president,
says that he will enroll more new students
this year than ever before in the history
of the college.
The boys who have been here for several
days have been very busy, at least those
who are members of the fraternities have.
The opening of the session is always a
busy time with fraternities and spiking
season is now on in full blast. Several of
the “frats" have already taken in several
new men. Members of the different fra
ternities can be seen on all sides with new'
men in charge pouring into their ears the
benefits of their “frats.”
Football will not be allowed at Mercer
this year and many of the long-haired
knights of the gridiron w'ho came to col
lege with that intention will be badly dis
appointed. Professor Pollock says that the
faculty is In favor of all kinds of athletics
except football, but as that game is so
brutal they eannot allow it to be played.
The board of trustees of Mercer are very
much pleased with the prospects for the
year. They have co-operated with the
president all through the summer and
have been of great assistance to him in
securing new pupils. It is thought that
nearly 400 students will be enrolled at the
college this term.
The appearance of the college boys in
the city will greatly enliven things.
WILL APPLY
FOR NEW TRIAL.
Abner Taylor’s Attorneys Will
Go Before Judge Felton
on the 25th.
Abner Taylor,the wife murderer, w’ho
has been confined in the jail since July
when he committed his horrible crime,
will hang on the 28th unless Judge Felton
sees fit to grant him a new trial or unless
the case is taken to the supreme court on
a bill of exceptions.
Taylor was sentenced to hung on the
28th but his attorneys have filed a motion
for a new trial and the hearing has been
set for the 36th. which is next Monday.
Ts the new trial is refused and the attor
neys do not carry the case to the supreme
court Taylor will only have two days to
live.
Taylor has attempted to commit suicide
several times since he has been confined
in the jail and be was at one time placed
in a cell to himself and chained. He
promised to behave, however, and was
placed back with the other prisoners. He
has been reading his Bible continuously
since he was sentenced to be hung and
says that he is trying to get ready to meet
his Maker if be has to hang. He seems to
have a great fear of death and whenevei
the matter is mentioned to him he breaks
down and will not talk. Many prominent
attorneys are of the opinion that he will
not be granted a new trial and that there
is little hope of him securing one if the
case is carried to the supreme court.
Taylor seems to grow worse as the time
set for the hanging appoaches. He is very
dispondent and has to be watched very
closely as it is thought that he will make
another attempt at suicide when he finds
that he cannot get another trial. He does
seem like a crazy man and converses in an
intelligent manner. He seems to think
that he will hang on the 28th. The public
is becoming interested in the case again
as the time for the execution approaches
and the outcome will be watched with in
terest.

Afternoon.
Mrs. S. Scheusler, a well known lady,
died .yesterday afternoon at her home on
Second street. Her death was very sudden
and was unexpected by her friends and
relatives as she was in excellent health.
She had been in her yard gathering
flowers a few moments before her death
and had only been in the house a few
minutes when her husband found her dead.
It is thought that apoplexy was the cause
of her death.

age and leaves a husband and three chil
dren. She was the daughter of Mr. H. C.
Billings. She has many friends in the city

ARRANGEMENTS
NOT YET MADE
For the Funeral of Miss Win
nie Davis Who Died Yes
terday.
AFTER A LONG STRUGGLE
The End Came and the Country
Mourns the Daughter of the
Confederacy.
N’.rragar.sett Pier, R 1., Sept. 18.—Miss
Winnie Daw, daughter of Mrs. Jefferson
Laris, died at noon today at the Rocking
ham hotel, to wh : eh place sus came as a
guest in the early part of the Pier's social
season. She had been ill for several weeks
and a fortnight ago her ailment was diag
nosed as malarial gastritis.
The arrangements for the funeral have
not yet bror made and announcements will
b emade, later.
The sad death of Miss Winnie Davis, the
Daughter of the Confederacy, will come aa
a profound shock to the Confederate vete
rans of Georgia, and will be the source of
the greatest sorrow to the men who fought
for the states of which her father was the
president.
The last time the veterans and the gen
eral public saw Miss Davis, in the enjoy
ment of good health, was in Atlanta on the
occasion of the eighth annual reunion of
the Confederate Veterans last July. On
this occasion she made her last public ap
pearance, and it was there in Georgia she
stood before the veterans for the last time.
(When Miss Davis appeared on the plat
form at the reunion auditorium and was
greeted ’by the veterans —was greeted with
shouts and cheerful words and with an
enthusiasm which is seldom displayed—-
many of them knew they would
never see her again. In that body of ten
thousand brave old veterans there were
many Who were growing old and who knew
that death would claim them 'before the
time for the next reunion. None of them
thought that Miss iDavis, who had been
present at every reunion, and who was
looked upon by the veterans with as much
love and reverence as though she were
their own daughter—none of them thought
that she, the pride of their hearts, and
the true daughter of the confederacy,
would be cold in death a few months after
they greeted her.
No one in Macon was more shocked and
grieved than Dr. Shorter when he 'received
a telegram yesterday from Mrs. Davis an
nouncing that they had given up hope of
Miss Winnie. Both Mrs. Davis and Dr.
Miss Winnie. Both Mrs. Davis and Miss
Winnie were for some years patients of Dr.
Shorter and his most devoted friends.
