APPEALS FOR CLEMENCY.
Berry Harris Saved frcm Hanging.
No Pardon for the Eastman Rioters.
Atlanta, Ga , Oct. 38 Gov. Northen
to-da.v commuted the sentence of Berry
Harris, the negro sentenced to hang at
Toceoa next Friday for murder.
Harris went to see Lou Moultrie. He
was armed with a pistol and bottle of
whisky. The woman took the bottle up
and said: “Berry, I'm going to take a
drink of your whisky."
“If you do. " he replied, “I’ll shoot you."
She drank the whisky and throwing up
his pistol Berrv shot her dead.
A petition asking that the sentence be
commuted to lifi imprisonment was pre
sented to the governor. It was shown
that there was but one witness and
that Berry claimed the shooting was an
accident. The county officials, the grand
and traverse juries, the judge and the so
licitor asked for the commutation.
THE EASTMAN RIOTERS.
A petition for pardon for Henry Howe!,
Jack Knowles. I. J. Shipman, Robert
Steth. Hus Gibbs, Robert George and
Frank Adams, who are now in the peni
tentiary for life for murdering the mar
shal of Eastman during the riot there,
was presented ’to Gov. Northen. but he
refused to-day to interfere with the sen
tence of the court.
John Deveney, sent up from
Muscogee county for seven years
for forgery, was pardoned. He
has served two years of his time, and it
was shown to the governor that he was
intoxicated when he committed the
forgery.
John Fletcher, sent up from Appling
county for life for murder in 1883, was
pardoned. He has served ten years. The
evidence in the case showed that the man
who was killed was the first to use op
probrious words and the first to draw a
weapon.
A JUSTICE ON TRIAL.
He is Accused of Conspiring to De
fraud the Government of Pension
Money.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 23.—After being un
der indictment for five years. Justice of
the Peace A. A. Manning was put on trial
in the United States circuit court to-day,
charged with conspiracy with Judge H.
H. Walker and Mrs. Frances Estes to de
fraud the government.
The transaction dates back nearly a dec
ade. In 1883 Mrs Elizabeth Mullins,
wife of a veteran of the war of 1812, was
taken ill. During her sickness applica
tion was made for a i>ension, and it was
granted. Before it came, however, the
beneficiary died. Under the pension
laws the i>erson who nursed Mrs.
Mullins in her last illness was
entitled, in this instance, to $1,016.07 for
attention and board. Judge Manning, it
is alleged, induced Mrs. Elizabeth Estes,
Mrs. Mullins’ daughter, to make affidavit
to the effect that she bad attended her
mother, and was a just claimant for the
sum in question. Tho money reached
Atlanta for Mrs. Estes, and she asserts
that it was taken charge of by Justice
Manning,Who is charged with having
given her only 816. saying that tho bal
ance was needed to provide for attorney's
foes and other incidentals. Mrs. Estes is
an illiterate woman. Justice Manning's
alleged offense against the government is
that he aided and abetted Mrs. Estes in
making a false affidavit in order to secure
money from the government for attend
ance to the beneficiary, which she never
rendered. Justice Munuing is a lawyer
enjoying considerable practice.

WATOBOS3’ NEW CHURCH.
A Good Attendance at the Opening
Exercises on Sunday.
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 23.-The new
Methodist church was fairly thronged at
the opening services yesterday. Members
of all denominations were present. Rev.
Dr. God by, a celebrated evangelist,
' preached an excellent sermon. In the
i afternoon the Sunday-school met for the
; first time in the new church. The super
j intendent. fifteen teachers and 143 pupils
were present. There are about—22. t > mem-
I tiers of the school. It® is the
1 model Sunday-school of this section
and is an important feature of the
j church. The attendance is good. The
j school is ably managed by the superin
tendent, V. 1,. Stanton, assisted by earn
est and competent teachers. It meets
every Sunday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock. The excellent singing
and other interesting features
go toward tnaking the Sunday-school a
desirable place for the old and the young.
The present high standard of the school
is attributable to the faithful work and
untiriug efforts of the superintendent.
The lack of space, an obstacle which has
been in the way of the school in the old
church, will not be in the new church.

turns 19 Indictments.
Roanoke, Ya., Oct. 23. —Tho grand jury
summoned to investigate the riot and acts
of lawlessness on Sept. 20 and 21, made
their report late this evening. Nineteen
indictments are made.
Walter S. Boone, Edward Page and

James G. Richardson is indicted for
felony for breaking into a hardware
store to get fire arms.
TIIE MiYOK’S ACTION.
The report commends the action of the
mayor in trying to maintain
tho laws, but questions the
advisability of the officials in directing
the military to withdraw after the
crowd had been dispersed by the firing,
and censures the police or the officials for
ordering the negro Thomas Smith to lie
removed from the jail, and after removal,
in not taking him to a place of safety.
The jurors state that from the evi
t’e ice they are led to believe that some
of the victims of the shooting
were active participants in the riot.
Chief of Police Terry and Sergeant
Griffin, it is believed, were indicted on
evidence which wont to show that they
were responsible for the information of
the negro’s whereabouts lieing di
vulged to the parties who lynched
him. There is no excitement
around town to-night, and it is not an
ticipated that any will arise, over the out
come of the jury’s findings. Up to

made.

From the London Truth,
Apropos of the surprising reform in the

It certainly seems superliuous to mention
the fact that a widow's husband is dead,

AN ODD WARFARE.
Chicago's Fight Against the Nuisance
'Of Smoke.
It is Possible to Keep the Air Clear,
But it Costs Money-Besides a
Special Furnaoa the Fireman Must
Know His Business-Opposition
From Steam Users.
From the Courier Journal.
Chicago, Oct. 13.—0f late years no
problem in municipal reform has so thor
oughly perplexed the cities in this coun
try, where soft, or bituminous, coal is
burned, as the problem of how to burn
the coal and at the same time do away
with the smoke nuisance. During the
last years Chicago has been making a
stubborn fight to rid the city of smoke
through the city health department and
through the Society for the Prevention of
Smoke, an organization supported
entirely by subscription from public
spirited citizens. After two years' war
fare the society has gone out of existence,
the city health department has fallen into
lethargy as tar as preventing smoke is
concerned, and Chicago is as §moky as at
any period in her history. Apparently
smoke prevention in the largest city in
tin: west has been given up as impractica
ble. Other cities which have the prob
lem to confront will t>e interested to know
why the efforts to prevent sinoke in Chi
cago have failed, and from what has been
done in Chicago they may possibly be en
abled to judge whether the condition of
any city in regard to smoke can be mate
rially bettered.
Chicago's smoke ordinance was passed
in 1881. Without citing it in full it will
perhaps be enough to say that in sub
stance it makes the emission of dense
smoke from the stack of any laoomotive.
boat or building a nuisance, punishable
by a fine of not less than 85, nor more
than 85u. Private dwellings are exempt
ed. The enforcement of the ordinance is
made the duty of the chief of police and
the commissioner of health. Up to Janu
ary of 1893 all that was done in the way
of preventiug smoke was done by the city
health department. For eleven years
after the passage of tho ordinance it
worked, and at the end of the eleventh
year Chicago was just as smoky as it was
on the day upon which the ordinance was
passed. A variety of reasons combined
to produce this result. One was that
politics was Allowed to enter into the
situation. Somehow the chimney of a
man who had contributed heavily to the
campaign fund of the ruling administra
tion was allowed to make all
the smoke it pleased. Another was
that from the nature of the ease the
health inspectors, being appointed for
political reasons, were not efficient men
always, and in some cases were not above
being privately influenced so that they
failed to report certain offenders against
the ordinance. Again, there was very
general ignorance upon the subject of
smoke prevention. The market was
flooded with cheap but worthless smoke
preventing devices of one kind and an
other. A business man would buy one
and it would prove worthless. He would
buy another and that would prove worth
less By the time he had been cheated a
few times he would consign all smoke
consumiug devices to the lower regions
and pronounce smoke-preventing an im
possibility. Moreover, the personnel of
tho city health department changed every
two years. No sooner would one force of
inspectors’be educated so that it knew
something about smoko-prevention than
it would be thrown out for another force.
These are some of the reasons why for
eleven years no progress in smokepre
vention was made in Chicago.
In December of 1891 the newspapers
took up the question vigorously and a
meeting was held at the Union League
Club of representatives of ail the clubs in
Chicago. From this meeting sprung the
Society for the Prevention of Smoke. It
had five directors, who were leading
wealthy citizens of Chicago and men of
known probity. Tiicy organized an active
force of nine men. There was the secre
tary, who was also general manager, a
consulting engineer, four assistant engi
neers, a solicitor of funds, a stenographer
and an attorney. This force went actively
to work .in February, 1893. For six
months it worked upon the principle that
the offenders against the smoke ordinance
were making sinoke not because they
wanted to, but because they did not
know how to avoid it. So for six months
between four and five hundred examina
tions were made by the engineers of the
society of steam plants in Chicago’s busi
ness district that made smoke. Alike
number of reports were made to the own
ers of these plants by the consulting
engineer, telling them how they could
most effectively and -most cheaply stop
the smoke. In each report the number
of remedies was made as large as possible
so that the offenders need not be nar
rowed down to one choice. At the end of
six months it was found that about 10
per cent, of the men to whom reports had
been sent hud done someone of the things
advised to prevent smoke. A few more
made a slight attempt and had brought
about some insignificant change. About

NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
December 18th, igtjj
75 per cent, were making just as much
smoke as they did before they were ap
proached. It seemed clear that the
promise that people were making smoke
because they did not know how to stop
making it was not true. Accordingly the
society faced right about and began to
prosecute vigorously the offenders who
had been told how they could prevent
smoke and who had not taken steps to
prevent it.
For a year from July. 1 5 92, a vigorous
campaign was conducted by the society of
prosecution of offenders against the smoke
ordinance. In that period over 500 suits
were brought against owners of smoking
tugs, locomotives and stationary chim
neys. A good deal was accomplished.
The smoke from locomotives was mater
ially lessened. In the fall of 1*92 the tug
men were forced to burn hard coal, and
for the first tinfte in its history, the Chi
cago river was comparatively free from
smoke. In the business district of Chi
cago the smoke nuisance was appreciably
diminished. During the year and a half
in which the. society worked it spent
atout 825,000. In the spring of 1893
the tug owners and a num
ber of owners of stationary
plants combined and formed an organiza
tion to fight the movement in favor of the
abolition of smoke. Every case brought
by the society and the city was bitterly
contested in the courts. All the legal
technicalities and all the delays of the
law were taken advantage of, and from
April. 1893, to Septemoer, 1893, little
progress in smoke abatement was made.
In September, on account of the financial
stringency, the private organization
lacked for funds, and its directors de
cided to'suspend operations, at any rate
temporarily.
Some very important truths have boon
established in Chicago during the last
two years in regard to smoke prevention.
The question in whic h every one is most
interested is. of course, as to whether
thore is any furnace or device which will
burn soft coal reasonably smokelessly,
with economy of fuel. The first part of
the question can be quickly answered in
the affirmative. Within two hundred
yards of the board of trade of Chicago
can be found three different furnaces
which are burning every day an average
quality of soft coal without making any
smoko to speak of. It is not necessary to
mention them, because this article is not
written for advertising purposes. Any
one who cares to see them can easily do
so with a little trouble. With regard to
oconomy it is not possible to say truth
fully that any furnace or de
vice has yet been found which
will prevent smoke with any pronounced
saving in fuel over the amount
used in the ordinary furnace set
ting. Claims of economy were made for
a variety of furnaces, but these claims
have never been established. The fur
naces which prevent smoke are very ex
pensive at first cost, averaging 8500 perq
boiler. So that Chicago’s experience, if
it has shown anything, lias shown that
smoko prevention at best is bound to be
an expensive operation to the steam-user.
His unwillingness touudergo this expense
is the principal reason why it is so diffi
cult to rid a large city of smoke. Smoke
prevention at the present stage of devel
opment of furnaces is not a business prop
osition, because if he would prevent
smoke the owner of the average steam
plant must invest dollars which do not
bring him back their equivalent in dol
lars.
Another thing has been demonstrated
in Chicago, and that is that the fireman
is a vor.v large factor in the smoke-pre
venting problem. It lias been shown con
clusively here that all the various fur
naces for preventing smoke increase the
labor of the fireman and engineer. The
coal must be broken up in small pieces.
Tho furnace must be fired lightly and
frequently. The furnace itself must be
operated with constant care The av
erage fireman tires his furnace about once
in every naif hour, and the rest of his
time ho sits down and smokes his pipe
and reads his newspaper. Smoko pre
vention means that the chair and the
pipe and the newspaper must go. There
fore, the average engineer and fireman
are unalterably opposed to smoke preven
tion. and in many cases cannot be in
duced to use a good furnace that is given
them with average care. They do not
want tho furnace to prevent smoke, be
cause if it does they must work harder.
A few engineers have been found also
who are willing to be the paid agent of
this or that furnace company, and recom
mend the furnace to the steam user who
employs them whether the furnace be
good or bad.
It has been shown in Chicago also that
among steam users thore is astonishing
ignorance upon the question of smoke
prevention. The true method of curing
sinoke is to study the needs of a smoking
plant, to ascertain just what the condi
tions are which prevail at that point.
These being known it is possible to recom
mend what should be done just as a phys
ician would prescribe for a patient. But
the average rushed business man has not
time to do this. He sees a furnace pre
venting sinoke at one plant, and he
straightway reasons that what the fur
nace will do in one place it will do in
another, and he puts the furnace into liis
own plant irrespective of the amount of
fcoilec room he has, or of the draught of
liis chimney, or of the amount of work
his plant must do. His course is just
about as reasonable as that of a phys
ician, who would reason that because
aconite cures a cold it will also cure a
broken leg.
To tho general question, is smoke pre
vention possible! Chicago’s experience
gives the following answer : it is jiossible,
but to secure it it is necessary to compel
the steam user to spenu money he does
not wish to spend; it is necessary to com
pel the fireman and engineer to work
hard when they do not wish to work
hard, and it is necessary to conquer the
ignorance which prevails generally upon
the subject. To do all this is a difficult
task. It can only be done by continually
maintaining an organization similar to
that which Chicago started, or some kin
dred organ nation, which shall be entirely
free from [ olitical or any other out
side influence. The organization must be
kept up perpetually. Within two months
of the time it slops it tho city will t>e
full of smoke again. The annual ex
pense must bo met. of course, by public
spirited citizens. In any event, smoko
prevention lias been shown to to, in
Chicago, a constant warfare and a con
stant souce of expense to the friends and
enemies of sinoke alike. It will to inter
esting to see whether the experience of
other cities will turn out differently from
Chicago’s.
