are two classes of persons
, 0 to Dade county coal mines
tubers of the
legislature and
long-term, able-bodied convicts.
Ollier people go occasionally, but
n(lt often, for the state of Dade is an
out-of-the way place, and beside
t i mt visitors have little business
jboliiio around convict camps.
I went up to Dade the other day
to see Colonel Towers, principal
keeper of tho penitentiary,suppress
mi insurrection and when the riot
w ts over. I had spare time enough
take a glance at the coal mine and
the arrangements for handling the
dusky diamonds.
I must draw on the resources of
the composing room to help me in
inv description of the interesting
points about the Dade coal mines.
The coal company owns a standard
image railroad running from Shell-
tnound in Tennessee to the mines,
which are in Georgia. The road is not
a common carrier hut transacts bus-
i less only lor the company. It is
six or eight miles in length and runs
up a valley. The valley is very nar
row and flic mountains on each side
are about a thousand feet high. To
illustrate, the road runs along the
bottom of a great big V and I do
.not exaggerate the steepness of the
mountain sides by the illustration
taken from the typo’s case. The
country is very wild. The moun
tains are covered with- dense, tang
led woods, and turkey abound in
the neighborhood. As the train
goes from Shellmound to tho mines
it passes the mouth of tho Nicka-
jaek cave, which can be plainly seen.
The entrance is about one hundred
feet across and is a big black hole
in the mountain side. A creek
coming down the valley enters the
mouth of the cave, disappears in the
darkness and goes beyond the know
ledge of man. On one occasion Col.
J.W.ltonfroe, postmaster of Atlanta,
rode ( n horseback nine miles into
this cave, but came out ignorant of
its size. There is no telling how
big it is.
From the railroad the location of
the obi Castle Rock coal mines can
be seen. The track of the inclined
plane railroad catches the eye.
Two tracks side by side run up on
the mountain at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. When the mine
was being worked coal was let down
by cars on these tracks, one car to
a truck, so arranged that the loaded
car would pull the empty car to the
top of the mountain. The ears were
run on the principle of twin well
buckets, and made speed that would
stagger a cannon ball express. One
day Senator Drown, and Mrs. Drown
went up in one of the ears. The
next trip the cable broke and
there was not enough of the little
ears left to make a decent tooth
pick.
At the end of the standard guage
road are the coke ovens of the com
pany. The ovens are in the valley
and are 28G in number. Ifi them
the coal is burned to coke for use
in smelting iron from iron ore. To
stand on the mountain at night and
look down at tho coke ovens when
they are fired up reminds me of the
remark of a man who undertook to
to describe Pittsburg—
“It looks like li-Il with the lid off.”
The coke ovens hold thirty or
forty thousands bushels of coal at
one time.
The entrance to tho Dado coal
mine is from the top of a mountain,
and that mountain like the others,
is u thousand feet high. At the top
is a broad plateau, two miles across.
'The company has a forty acre gar
den np there, and the convicts have
all the vegetables they could possi
bly want. The Dade coal is not let
down in tho way that was in use
at Castlo Rock when-that mine
was being worked. A narrow
gauge railroad runs from the coko
ovens to the top of tho mountain.
As the sides of the mountain are
almost perpendicular it becomes
interesting to know how the trains
get up there. It is all very simple
when you see it done. The grade
of the road is three or four feet to
the hundred. The track, starting
at the base, runs partly around the
mountain, climbing just a little bit.
'hen a switch is put In and the
track goes hack toward tho starting
DOint, hut goes Just a little higher
11 P tin* mountain. This zig-zag,
" hip saw business is kept up until
the top is reached, and the railroad
looks like a big W turned sideways.

you up and is flying away with you.
I The only thing to dispel the idea
j is the clatter-clatter of the little
train f und the jerking of the mina-
ture ear as it is snatched along the
! track lay the stout little engine.
“S-s-s-s-spose!” I asked, “Sp-sp-
[ spose th-th-tlds the-the-tho-thing
r-r-runs off!”
“Then its good bye John,” was the
consoling reply, “lint it lias never
yet jumped the track.”.
There is a good story totd of a cer
tain Dutchman who was a now em
ploye at the mines, and who started
tip the mountain. Instead of fol
lowing tlie path straight up lie fol
lowed the railroad track. After
walking about a mile lie came to
tlie switch and turned back. When
lie had traveled another mile lie
came opposite the starting point,
and was horrified to find he had
progressed only about two hundred
feet in climbing the mountain. He
followed the track faithfully, how
ever, and traveled several miles be-
fore’he reached hisjourney’s end.
When (lie top of the mountain
is reached one finds the entrance to
tlie coal mine. It looks like a big
gopher hole and a little railroad
track descends into it at an angle of
about 80 degrees. Little coal cars are
pulled up this track, which is about
800 feet long, the motive power be
ing a stationary engine which is
located near tlie entrance to the
mine, and which winds a cable
onto a drum. I went down in the
mine. It was dark as Egypt. The
mine is about one hundred feet
under ground and consists of a great
number of tunnels which cross each
other at right angles. The moun
tain is completely honey-combed.
Three or four hundred men work
in the mine; three hundred of them
being convicts. The men wear
small lanterns on their caps and
look like so many overgrown light
ning bugs when seen in the distance
down the dark tunnels. When I
reached the foot of the slope and
and found myself in ttie mine I was
accompanied by the engineer, Cap
tain Evans: A tall young man with
large handsome eyes and a big
brown moustache tipped his cap
and bowed gracefully to the cap
tain. Dy the yellow light which
flickered in his cap I saw that he
had a very striking lace and I was
so impressed by his appearance that
I asked the captain who tlie good-
looking convict was. He replied:
“Ills name is Hammond. He
came here from Rome, and is in for
murder. Retried to escape once
and was shot in the back.”
The coal miners lie on their sides
to pick the coal. A number mules
are kept at work.in the mines pul
ling the littlecoal car from different
parts of tho mine to the slope. A
great deal of track is required to
get (he coal out of the mines about
twenty miles of it being under
ground, running through the vari
ous tunnel's. About six hundred
tons of coal are mined every day,
but none of it Is sold except to the
Western and Atlantic railroad.
That company takes ten car loads
daily. The rest is burnt into coke
for the iron furnace at Rising Fawn
and Chattanooga. No one can
form an idea of the extent of the
Dade county coal mine unless he
goes there and sees for himself.
Tim YhIiio oru Cow In Uolwrtsvllle.
Savannah News, 21st Inst.
Mrs. Julia A. Aaron, of Roborts-
ville, sued Michael Walsh yester
day in the city court for damages
for shooting her cow. Two or three
months ago the plaintiff’s cow got
on Walsh’s property, ids land not
being enclosed by a fence, or at
least not a lawful fence. Walsh
sent an employe to shoot the cow,
and tho animal was duly shot but
not killed.
Since she was shot tho cow inis
not attempted to compete with the
oleomargarine factories and Mrs.
Aaron’s revenue has suffered.
In Robortsvlllo a cow’s value
determined by tho number of quarts
of milk she gives at a milking, the
animal being worth $5 for every
quart. Mrs. Aaron’s cow gave
twelvo quarts and she was valued
at $<10. The law of Georgia allows
tho owner of any animal which i
shot on land not enclosed by’ a law
ful fence to recover three times the
value of tlu) animal. No defense
was made and the Jury gave tho
plnlntiff a verdict for $200.

And now the great event of the
day stood in the act. Miss Wood
ford was the first to show. Mc
Laughlin cantered past the stand.
Doth were warmly received. The
applause yas almost general. It
was, besides, as hearty as it was
general. That she lias a warm spot
in the hearts of race-goers is proved
by’ the fact that the backers of
Troubadour were almost as demon
strative as were the followers of the
bonny’ brown mare. A moment
later the white-legged son ot Lisbon
and Glenluine put in an appear
ance. The lusty and long-contin
ued cheers that greeted him and
“Fitz,” as they went by, clearly in
dicated that Troubadour was to
carry the “public money.” This
was the fact. He was the favorite
with the public. Miss Woodford’s
supporters were made up principal
ly of the practical turfmen—the
owners, trainers, bookmakers and
the plunging bettors. The first quo
tations were “1 to 4 Woodford; even
money Troubadour.” So great was
the demand for the latter, however,
that the bookies were compelled to
reverse the prices. Even then the
Troubadour money continued to
pour in. It seemed to be limitless.
The great public—the vast multi-
tltude of humanity’ that packed tho
“exchange” and stood ten deep
qround it—was getting in its work
with a vengeance. The admirers
of Woodford, however, were in no
manner appalled. The money on
Troubadour went in by driblets of
twenties and fifties; that on Wood
ford went in by’ hundreds. Never
was there such a betting race. The
scene is indiscribalbe. The book
makers were as rattled as the pub
lic. Sucli men as Kelly’ and C’ride
had howling mobs around their
stands. Doth were pulled from
their boxes a dozen times by Troub
adours and Woodfordites. Then
the last bell, summoning the horses,
clanged dolefully. A moment later
the busy ring was deserted.
The horses are at the post. The
supreme moment has arrived.—
Each of the twenty thousand has
secured his coign of vantage. The
vast throng is breathless. Dut the
excitement’lias not abated. It is
deep though silent. Troubadour
has the Inside berth. Twenty thous
and throats roar but, “they’re off!”
Dabel lias come again. The blood
is once more at fever, heat, The
start was a good one. Miss Wood-
lord’s position on the outside gave
her a trifle the worst of it. Trouba
dour is a quick beginner, and al
most instantly lie was a length in
front. It was at once observable
that “Fitz’s” orders were to make
pace. At tlio end of a furlong, how
ever, the mare was well up with
Troubadour. As they swept around
the beach turn there was no change.
On the backstrotch Mr. McLaugh
lin called on the speedy daughter
of Dillet and Fancy Jane, and, an
swering gamely, she moved up al
most head and head with Trouba
dour. Then slio fell back again.
Many thought at this stage that
McLaughlin had merely gone up to
feel of the white-legged wonder
from the West, and that ho had
dropped back to come with one of
his whirlwind rushes at the finish.
Not so, however. They turn into
the stretch and the positions are
unchanged. McLaughlin is at
work in dead earnest. “Fitz” is
still as rigid as a church steeple.
On they come. At the lower end
of lho stand tho mare has gained
on Troubadour. “Fitz” is no longer i
still. The pace lias told, and Troub
adour is beginning to roll. Dotli
Jockeys are working hard. The
mare responds nobly at tho finish,
hut is unable to roach her fleet op
ponent, who flushes past the judges,
and tho great raeols over. Trouba
dour has won! Miss Woodford has
beonboaton! Time, 2:<)8 :l .,.
That it was a really irreat strug
gle is conceded by all. The pace
was simply terrific for tho first
mile. Tho official timers gave it as
1:11'., . Tho writer is of tho opini
on that it was faster. He was on
the infield in company with train
ers Rowe, Doyle and Fred Carter,
three experienced “dockers.” They
had a better position for timing the
tho fractions than those iu tho
timers’ stand. Messrs. Rowe and
Doyle made tho mile l DO 1 .,.; Mr.
Carter made it I :lo\. it would ap
pear, therefore, that 1:11 was cer
tainly beaten; lor it is indisputa
ble that tho last quarter was slow.
Tho scene that followed when tho
horses returned to tho scales almost
bailies description. Tho horses
could barely make their way
through tho crowd that poured from
the lawn and surrounded the Judges
box. Troubadour and “Fitz” were
the lions of tho hour. Mr. Drown
or, like the thorough sportsmen,
they are, had no excuse to otter.
4'lie.y were, they said, beaten on the
merits, and were the first to con
gratulate Captain Drown on ins
well-deserved victory. Doth horses
were trained to the hour, and both
were as fit as was possible to make
them. Had Miss Woodford drawn
the inside berth, it is just possible
that the result would have been re
versed. At all events the finish
would have been closer. No liv
ing man could make handicap
weights between these two horses
that would furnish such a finish at
a mile and a quarter. Let the dis
tance lie increased to, say, a mile
and three-eighths and a mile and a
half. It can then be demonstrated
to a certainty which is really tho
better of the pair. The question
now is: Can Troubadour stay over
a longer course? it is well-known
that Miss Woodford can.

Mr. Randall Vaughn, one of
our most prominent citizens, was
wounded in a battle at Waynesboro,
Ga., December 22, 18(14, by a bullet
from a Winchester rifle, while serv
ing In the Second Georgia cavalry.
The missile entered between tho
breast bone and the point of the
heart. It could not be found, and
after a time lie got able to attend to
his duties, but the wound never en
tirely healed. Pus exuded from
thoAvound most of.the time, but at
stated intervals it would close up,
His health would be very bad until
it opened again. Tt kept on this
way till about four years ago, when
Mr. Vaughn discovered the forma
tion of a cake on the left side of his
abdomen, which gradually grew
worse until it developed into an
abscess.
A few days ago he became so low
that he thought it advisable to send
for his family physician, Dr. T. J.
Foster. When the latter arrived
he found his patient in a very criti
cal condition, and decided to call in
Drs. (tonally and Robertson for con
sultation. After making a thorough
examination it was the opinion of
the physicians that it was necessary
to open the abscess and make an
effort to find and remove the ball.
Tuesday morning they opened the
abscess, which exuded over a quart
of pus, and then by probing found
(lie ball about two inches below tho
abscess and soon removed it. It
was mashed fiat, its inner surface
was smooth as glass, and the edges
were ragged. From where it enter
ed to where it was extracted was
fourteen inches, having cut its way
gradually that far during the twen
ty-two years that it had been im
bedded in his body.
Mr. Vaughn is getting along well
now, and in all probability his
health will he permanently re
stored.

“Yesterday afternoon at 1:15
o’clock, a report was hoard through
out almost the entire city like the

posed it was Red Jacket, but know
ing of no reason for firing it, began
to inquire about the cause. It was
soon learned that the report was
caused by the explosion of tlio cyl
inder of a slasher in tlio fifth story
of Mill No. 8 of Eagle and Plienix
Manufacturing Company. The ex
plosion shook tho entire building
but strange to say the damage was
very slight. A few window glass
were broken out and a wooden ‘bon
net,’ which covered the cylinder,
was Flown into fragments. A piece
of flying timber struck Mr. John
Commax on the head and inflicted
a scalp wound. Another piece
struck Mr. Jones Goins on tho arm
and bruised it. One or two other
operatives received slight scratches
from flying debris. When a report
er visited the mill after the accident
he found the operatives all at work,
as if nothing unusual had happened
Mr. Clarity, the boss in tlio room,
said no one could tell how tho ex
plosion occurrred. It was probably
caused by the check valve being
caught in some way. The cylinder
which exploded was about seven
feet in diameter and was literally

A dispatch from St. Louis of July
18th says: A fire which proved to
be the largest and most destructive
of its kind that ever visited this
city, was discovered about 2 o’clock
this afternoon in the lumber yards
of Knopp, Stout & Co., corner An
gelica street and Bremen avenue.
An alarm was immediately turned
in, and two engines were soon at
the scene. They were, however,
owing to the poor water supply,
unable to cope with the flames,
which were driven by a strong
wind, and soon communicated to
the nearest lumber piles and were
making rapid headway toward the
Union Stock Yards, the destruction
of which seemed inevitable. The
wind soon ‘ shifted, however, and
they were saved, but the lumber
yards were doomed. In the mean
time, more alarms had been sent in,
and twenty engines were called out.
The water supply was entirely in
sufficient for the emergency and
the flames leaped from pile to pile
of dry lumber with increditable
swiftness. The lire was not confin
ed to any portion of the yards, for
sparks and burning splinters were
blown in every direction, and tlio
whole territory of the yards, cover
ing thirty-five acres, was one mass
of blazing lumber. The efforts of
the firemen, which would evidently
have been fruitless if directed to
wards subduing the flames, were
from tliis time employed in keeping
them from spreading, and in this
they were successful. The fire was
allowed to burn, and at the end of
four hours 25,000,000 feet of lumber
were a total loss. The contents of
the yards were mostly lumber of a
superior grade, and loss on this
account is very heavy—$100,000.—

Between the hours of 9 and 10
o’clock Saturday night, a washout
of a sewer, from the heavy Tains,
occurred at the road known as Rol-
lersville, on the west side of 15th
street, or Carnes’ road. It appears
that there is hut one sewer to carry
off water from the Sand Hills, Bat
tle Row, and around the Orphan
Asylum and hills to the west.—
When the canal was enlarged the
city authorities did not enlarge this
sewer, that runs under the canal.
There were two others located
above the one where tho washout
occurred, hut of late the use of
them has been abandoned.
The sewer where tho damage
occurred is entirely too small, and
this makes the third washout with
in the past three months occurring
in the same place.
There are eight double tenement
houses, which are occupied by six
teen families, and are numbered
from 1,501 to 1,525 Rollersville road.
This washout came upon the people
within fifteen minutes, and in that
short time the water was from two
to six feet in the road and houses.
The torrent came down the hill ou
which Mr. J. II. Lowry’s house
is situated, washing his crop, which
is completely destroyed.
Mr. J. J. Nevils, who runs a store
at'the foot of the high bridge, and
has his residence adjoining, lost
everything he had. In ids residence
his wife was lying at death’s - door
and was compelled to he removed
as tho waters covered the bedside,
and his furniture was floating in
the stream, as was also the house
hold furniture of his neighbors.
Mr. William Ferris lmd his tool
chest ruined by tho deluge, and his
clothes can he seen as well as other
families who were so unfortunate
as to ho caught in tho flood, which
lasted three hours, hanging on tlio
fence drying. Tho earth m front of
Air. Ferris’ door was washed away,
and when walking out of his house
he got into water live feet deep. He
fell a distance of about three feet,
gotting thoroughly soaked. Most
of the other houses wore occupied
by colored families, who lost their
clothes and furniture or had them
badly damaged.
Tho News went up to the scene of
the debris this morning and found
families at breakfast in the yards,
and their houses were completely
covered with mud. Tho houses in
tho rear were floated down tho
stream, and to-day can ho seen ly
ing up against fences, upside down.
This property Is owned by Mr. Al

occasions notified tlio city author!
ties of this nuisance, and w ill now

does not make satisfactory terms
Two-thirds of Mr. Lowrey’s place
is covered with water, and tho read
is badly washed. If this washout
had occurred at tho dead hour of
night several persons would have
been drowned. As it was several
barely escaped with their lives. It
is too unhealthy for tlio families to
return to their homes as the odor Is
sickening, damp and dirty.

what is commonnly called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing mo when least expected, and laying me
up entirely; Incapacitating me for any kind
o! business, and causing me as much trouble
In ft day as should be crowded In a lifetime.
After one c f my most severe attacks, and
when I had Just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Hunnleutt, an old friend, and
he said he could make a remedy that would
cure me, and by gracious, he did. X took two
bot tles of Ills stulf, prepared from roots and
herbs, and 1 have never had a twinge of rheu
matism since. Tho medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnleutt for his friends.
About six months ago It was determined to
place it upon the market, and a firm was or
ganized for that purpose. Two weeks ago, in
the midst of my suffering, I noted in one of
their advertisements that It was good for kid
ney troubles also. I know It would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give tt a fair sliow
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but the first day’s use gave
me relief, and before I had completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms had
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to this time, and 1 have not felt a trace
of my disease for a week.”

The Harnett House.
Jacksonville (Fla.) Herald.
The wonder of those who go to the Harnett
House, in Savannah, Is that so excellent a
table and such comfortuble rooms can bo of
fered to the public at such minimum rates.—
Without exaggeration, the table of the Har
nett Is as good as that of the Sereven House,
and the rates just one-half as large. Courte
ous treatment makes up the sum of its at trac
tions. The public largely testified their ap
preciation.
