Much comment is-being made Upon
the Inquest' over the body of a negro
girl who Is claimed to have been
whipped to death by the guards In the
Bibb convict camp. At the request of
Jack Colbert, a negro, who made affi
davit that his daughter waa maltreated
to such extent that she died after being
removed to his home, Coroner T. E.
Young held an Inquest Sunday and his
jury, after 9 thorough examination, re
turned a verdict to the effect that they
did not know the causes of .death.
The evidence as sworn to by the ne
gro witnesses was of a damaging na-
tyre, but the Jury after examining the
body of the woman, came to the de
cision that her death waa not caused
by whipping. Those who made the ex
amination stAted that they could find
no tract* c.f whipping and the body was
neither bruised nor beaten ao that algna
were left.
Dr. O. C. Gibson, the county physi
cian, who treated the negro woman,
said last night that she died from con
sumption, and that to his personal
knowledge she had not been struck a
lick at the camp or elsewhere within a
period of three or four months. During
thla time the woman was sick, he
states, nnd unable to do work and
therefore was not under the care of the
guards.
The statement of the physician is na
follows:
1 have seen .the wotnun every day
for three or four months, and during
this time she had done no work at all.
She waa 17 years old and had consump
tion, not at any time during .the period
mentioned being at work. I never
heard this woman romplnln of being
whipped while she was there, nor did
I ever see her whipped. 1 have been In
dolly attendance upon the sick at the
ramps for six months nnd 1 kpow the
condition of every sjck prisoner dally,
knew the woman’s trouble and tried
have her removed to Roff Home
from the camp hospital, but she wished
to remain at the ramps, and I allowed
her to do so until hei time was out.
’A prisoner In the ramps never goes
work If a complaint Is made with
out my Instructions and I have not
sent this woman to work within the
time stated above. Her time was out
on June 24, and she was taken to her
fathers home immediately< upon its
expiration.
All this talk about the inhuman
treatment of prisoners at the Bibb
county camps Is utterly false. I never
saw more humane treatment anywhere
than the prisoners receive at the hands
‘T Mr. Wlmbush and his guards. Those
ho doubt this ought to go and Investi
gate for themselves.”
Coroner Young nnd hla Jury are fully
convinced that the woman was not
whipped to such an extent that she
died of her 111 treatment. From the
verdict as rendered they were unable
to determine further than th«t she
had suffered from fever previous to
death. Their finding* showed that the
bory of the woman was a mere skele-
ton when examined, and with this
the statement of the physician will
m9ke your stomach sensitive, take
away your appetite, rob you of
strength.

SYDNEY, C. B., July 4.—Unable to
cope with a mob of 1,000 strikers who
gathered at the work* of the Dominion
Iron and Steel Company today and
forcibly prevented hon-unlon men from
going to work and the officials from
entering their offices, the civilian offi
cials appealed to Major Crowe, com
manding the military forces In thla
district, and tonight the militia was
called out to protect the company's
property. One hundred men of the
Sydney field battery were placed at the
entrances to the work* and with loaded
carbines and fixed bayonets held an
angry mob at bay. The situation is
critical and bloodshed la feared.
As the troops were marching down
Charlotte street to the works they en
countered more than 1.000 strikers
rmed with clubs and stones. The
~ob gathered In front of the soldier*
In an attempt to prevent the latter
from escorting non-union men Into the
plant. The soldiers charged the mob
and with fixed bayonets forced their
way through. Late tonight a crowd
of strikers attacked E. P. Jones; sales
agent, and several offtmats of the com
pany. With a revolver in each hand
Jones stood off tne crowd until the ar
rival of the troops. The streets are
filled with rioters, who have the city
at their mercy.

MACON TAKES FOURTH
WITHOUT MISHAP
Thousands of Paoplo on Straeti, at
Parks and on Cara During Aftarnoon.
Good Ordsr Maintained.
Tho glorious Fourth passed without
any unusual mishap within the bounds
of Mncon. deaplt# the fact that almost
the entire city wns out upon the streets
and the cor* for the greater part of the
day* The morning passed away very
qulatl>\ but In the afternon many peo
ple thronged the streets, parks and ro-
sortx seeking the pleasures of the hol
iday.
The cars to the parks In the after
noon were busy transporting the Im
mense crowds of people. All came and
went without any accident. The ob
servance of Monday did not mar the
'pleasures or hinder the "taking a day
off.” In most Instances, and the day
was generally observed throughout the
city. 7
The peace and order of the city was
unusually good. Few disturbances oc-
cXincd. and although many took the
free ride to t!»e barracks on account
of too much drink, none were handled
for serious misconduct.
In South Macon one man stabbed an
other in the mouth nnd caused a pain
ful wound. The too men roomed tn-
the begt ~
tschment. comprising the Third
airy division, and the third group of
horae butteries, had to cross the Me-
man In order to pursue the northern
detachment, which waa retreating,
after haying crossed thin river nnd de
stroyed the bridge* The northern de
tachment comprised a cnvnlry brigade
nnd ten guna of horse nrtlllery. the tnnk
for which waa to prevent the crossing
of the Nleman by the pursuing south
ern detachment. The Ninth regiment
of dragoons, which formed the advance
guard of the eouthern detachment, and
four gun* of horse artillery, succeeded
•In crossing the river bv awlmmlng. and
took up position on the right bank
where It could cover the passage of
the rest of the division. The clothing
and equipment of these scouts and ad
vance guards were partly carried ove
on rafts. The scouts made the crossing
under favorable conditions, but such
was not ths luck with the following
detachment, which, crossing the river
forty meters lower down, struck a sand
bank lying In mid-stream. Many of
the horses, carried down by the cur
rent. reached the other bAnk at a much
lower point; while some of the others,
despite their riders* best endeavors, re
turned to the starting point, and still
ethers, so exhausted would surely
have drow*ned but for the presence of
men with life-saving appliances In
boats. At this moihent the commander
of the division arrived, and by hlif en
ergy and example succeeded In restor
ing order. Calling for an unsaddled
hofse, but not without a fight with his
mount, he gained the opposite bank nt
the desired point. The crossing ef the
artillery, however, presented the great
est difficulties. The guns were dragged
by cords along the bottom of the river.
All went well until they atruck against
the sand bank In the middle of the
stream. Three hours were necessary
to extract them from their predicament
by meann of horses tnken to the shal
low spot In the river. To keep the
horsea of the other snundrons from be
ing carried down upon the sunken guns
they were ordered to cross some hun
dred me»ers higher up. but they in
stinctively swam toward their fellows
on the sand bank, struck It, and finally
gnlned the opposite bank with grent
difficulty. The other units of the di
vision executed the crossing without
nccldent Each squadron made the
crossing In nbout seven minutes. The
whole operation was a difficult nnd
very daring undertaking, nnd showed
the spirit of the Russian cavalry.
Lieutenant Folvnpskl hns recently
Invented an aluminum buoy—a cylin
der ordinarily holding Rome parts of
the soldier’s outfit—with which he pro
poses to facilitate river crossing. Some
of the troops have been supplied with
these cylinders, but by far the greater
number will depend upon expedients
made upon the ground, cunning in
which has been carefully developed by
the Russians. The Moscow staff hns
given this subject no end of study, nnd
well nigh any character of country
would nfford the mRans with which to
carry the soldier add his equipment
across—If not In one form then In
other.
The first and simplest la, of course,
a bridge resting upon the water, nnd
for narrow streams this Is quite prac
ticable. leoga are cut of not leas thnn
foot In diameter, lashed together end
to end until thev are long enough to
reach from bank to bank. Cross
pieces of wood are attached nt Inter
vals to give the bridge steadiness. All
this Is done closo t* the nearest bank,
so thnt the construction, nt first, lies
not across the stream, but along the
bank. The dnwn-strenm end Is then
secured to the shore, while the ut>-
strrnni end. which Is free, is pushed
out Into the current nnd swept down
nnd across nnd Into position against
the opposite bank, to which it Is
promptly secured bv men sent across
for the purpose. To safeguard the
bridge from being carried away. If the
current be strong, n guy rope Is led
from the middle to a point up-stream
and there fastened. In addition the
bridge Is anchored by means of stones
resting upon the bottom and secured
to the structure by ropes. Barrels are
sometimes used tQ add greater buoy
nncy to the bridge; but barrels don’
form a conspicuous part in the train
of a fast-moving military force. Tent
rope supplies most of the lashings.
Where the stream Is very narrow and
has little or no currents, bundles of
rushes, straw, etc., may be used In
stead of log* nnd planks.
The simplest form of raft Is railed
the "twin.” It Is made of a couple of
logs nbout thirty feet long and of not
less than seven or eight inches in di
ameter. spaced apart about seven feet.
These log* are Joined together by three
planks, one at each end and one In the

is made of planks, and is about seven
feet wide nnd three time* as long. To
this, three on each side, nre inslred six
canvas tuba snugly packed with straw

buoyancy, nnd ho constructed, with a
couple of planks arranged forward for
a cutwater or. bow. It is possible to
carry’ a considerable load and to pad
dle with reasonable speed across even
agitated waters. Rnfts of Inflated skins
are also uaed. but experience has shown
them to be unreliable—becoming po
rous and leaky after a little use, and
difficult to Inflate without special ap
pliances. This does not apply, how
ever. to the truly finished affair carried
by the cossacka and some other
branches of the Russian cavalry. These

been found that a couple of faggots of
brushwood six or seven feet long nnd
from two to three feet thick—If dry’
and closely packed—will carry n man
safely: but It take* some practice to
propel 'such a craft. A good-sized bun
dle of stray, bay or dried rushes packed
tightly in a framework of sticks, and
then swathed In a piece of ell-soaked
canvas, will make a durable and quick
ly constructed float. Float* of this de
scription. where logs fall, can be used
In combination, nnd are capable of sus
taining a very considerable load. One
of the novel schemes suggested by the
Moscbw staff Is to separate the body of
a cart from Its wheel* and to wrap the
body in a big niece of oiled tent can
vas. To give the affair a shlpehaped
form tent poles are fixed fore and aft
In the cart so as to form a bow and a
stem, and then the canvas ts drawn
snuglv under and up on both side*—
the result being ^punt-shaped boat
with pointed ends. The wheels are
treated separately. They are bound to
gether by stick* seven or eight feet
long, until they form a cylindrical
framework. The tire*,- to keep them
from rusting, sre wrapped In hav or
straw. Over thla an oiled wrapper of
canvas Is tightly drawn, and two of
these floats, strapped together, form an
admirable raft which la easily paddled.
In the absence of oiled canvas the cart
body can be rendered water tight and
an efficient raft by caulking It with
hav or raveled rope.
Bocks and undergarments are not to
be despised, and when stuffed with
dried grass make serviceable float*. A
triangular float la made by forming
bucket-like frameworks of sticks and
covering them with canvas. These
canvas backets or tubs are then lashed
together with a small platform be
tween. A soldier gets in each compart
rv.-nt and his ktt Is placed upon th<
platform, and thus provided, they can
paddle screes stream Hi security.
