2 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. CALLED TO CHICAGO. A Young Clergym ,n cf Augusta Li.ie.ei,> ouored. Augusta, Ga.. Oct. 23.—Rev.

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.

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 MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with Jess expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers and permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys-Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable uubstance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug gists in 50c and #1 bottles, but it is man ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Go. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not ■ccepl any substitute if otic red. Delightful Bottled at the and Apollinaris Spring Refreshing Rhenish Prussia. Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS." “The leading dietetic Table Water.” 3 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.
