WIMBUSH CALLS
I OI{ INVESTIGATION
SUPERINTENDENT WIMBUSH OF THE BIBB COUNTY CHAINGANG
WENT BEFORE THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND ASKED
THAT FULL INVESTIGATION BE MADE IN REGARD TO NEGRO
GIRL'S DEATH—FRIDAY MORNING HAS BEEN SET AS THE DAY.
(Superintendent E. A. Wimbush. of
the Bibb county, convict camp, went
before th* county commissioner* yes
terday morning and demanded an In
stigation In the charges against the
officials at the camps. In which an
old negro. Jack Colbert, claims that
hi* daughter came to her death through
maltreatment at. their hand*.
The claims a* published yesterday
hovj caused a great deal of comment
nd Superintendent Wimbush has de-
Ided that he wished to have a full
Investigation of the charges.
The commissioners have set the in
stigation for Friday morning, snd
It is expected that at this time aome-
thlng definite will be determined In
regard to the negro girl's death at the
home of the old negro on last Hunday.
It la also stated that the father of
the girl will be present at the Inveetl-
S itlon and will push his claims that
• girl met death as a result of cruel
treatment lit the convict camp.
It developed yesterday that no phy
sician had testified at the inquest held
by the coroner, and the only evidence
heard was that of negroes. The full
decision of the Jury was as follows:
“We, the Jurors aforesaid, upon our
oaths, day that Dosla Colbert came to
her death from causes unknown to the
Jury."
The Investigation Is likely to require
some time, ss It la proposed to make
a thorough search for the facta. 8u
perlntendent Wimbush Is stoutly de
mandlng this on account of the asuer-
tlons which have been made regarding
the treatment of the prisoners.
A vlalt to the camp and hospital near
VfnevlUt station yesterday afternoon
f ave the reporter a view of the present
reatmsnt of the sick In the count-
chalngang. There were some six or
eight prisoners who seemed to be suf-
efrlng from chronic trouble*. Of these
one negro, George Matthews, spoke of
the woman who died after leaving the
camp. He said she had remarked that
she. would not live long when she left
on account of being unable to get
the medicine which the physician had
been giving her; Upon making this
statement he called upon another
standing near him to verify It and the
statement was corroborated.
From ail Indications there Is nothing
to warrant the statements which are
being made about the treatment of the
prisoners at the camp, especially the
sick ones. The negro women who
died never worked at all for over three
monthM. and she was dally under the
treatment of the physician. This was
revealed from the statement of the
prisoners.
An effort Is being made to remove
one of the negroes from the camp who
hus been n sufferer from consumption,
and this will be done as soon as the
proper papers can be secured.
The cooking and laundry work are
done with neatness far superior to
what the average person would expect
among the convicts, ft Is but Just to
say that this camp on the whole Is In
far better condition than the average
Georgia camp.

An tnt.re.Ung feature of the dayi

the waning Influenct of Mr. Hr

1 years ago bv a convention following ht
I unquestioned leadership, today tumei
away from hltn In aettllng the

nlahes on* of the sensational -Inci
dent* of th* day by awlftly back-track
ing on a Aemi-ofririal announcement
that It had dropped Us opposition to
Parker. During the forenoon the or
ganisation allowed It .to become known
through aome of Its moat promlpent
representatives that It hr.d decided to
Join the Parker rankn. After a period
of flllsnre and nppaient political Idle-
nens. 1st* this afternoon they renewed
their warfare agulnat hi* candidacy,
snd flenator Victor Dowling, Charles
A. Towns. Bird 8. Coler and Bourke
Cookran started to roll delegation*
nnd ask for votes against Judge Par
ker.
Fennlor Dowling on behalf of Charles
F. Murphy mad* this statement:
“Judge Parker cannot be nominated
We have 400—more than one-third of
th* convention—pledged against him.
Ho cannot be nominated. Only this
afternoon we won three new states to
our cause.’' . .
“Will yo* give a list of your states?'
waa naked.
“I cannot do that,” said the Murphv
renr*""ntativ«.
“Will you say what new states were
gained today?" '
“I cannot tell you. I can only say
that we have 400 vote*."
“Will the Rryan people assist you
after this morning's attempt on your
part, through Mr. Cockran. to secure
the adoption of a gold standard plank?"
“It wa» only *n attempt to compel
Renator Hill nnd those who support
him to show their hand." replied Sen
ator Dowling. “The Bryan people un
derstand it and will not antagonise
"Who in Tammany's candidate?" waa
then naked.
“I cannot say. Ws are voted for
Psrk*r.”
It whs said, however, by other Tam
many men that the-real object of -the
fight wns McClellan, but Renator
Dowling protested that Tammany waa
nlmply against Parker. Closing his In
terview he said significantly:
You’ll #«e a very hard fight on tho
platform."
Renator Hill. Kdward Murphy. Jr..
snd Wm. F. Sheehan were extremely
confident at the Parker headquarter*.
Renator Hill said: “Judge Parker ma*-
not bo nominated on the first ballot,
as delegation* like to pay tribute to
favorite sons, but he will be on the
second."

Tho First Baseball Game.
J Mines L. 8teelc la June Outing.
Th# first newspaper report of a base
ball gams that 1 remember reading was
an account of a game played at Hoboken.
N. J.. in 1*69. It appeared In an illus
trated weekly, am! waa auch a novel and
Interr.-rtlng even that the weekly gave a
douMe-page illustration.
There were no baseball schedules In
those days, snd nobody lav awake nights
hatching up reasons why Harvard should
not play Princeton and why Val# should
not play Pennsylvania. All that was
needed was an occasion such as a Fourth
of July celebration, a county fair, a house,
raising, or some other event of that na
ture. The ocraeton for this particular
gam# wns the eny‘rialnm«nt given a team
of Kngltsh cricketer* then touring this
Vountry. nnd defeating "United States*
t wenty-two* with commendable regular-
»y. We had evolved a gam* from th*
old Fnclish "roundem,'* which we called
baseball, and we wanted to show our
whnt a high old gam* It was.
PMIHr have be*n the ' humor# of th#
day" editor who wrote th# report, which
was aa follows:
Ha**hell differ* from cricket. e#pe-
Ilv in there being no wickets. Ine

haa been *truek, the 'outs* try to catch
“ In which caa# th* striker Is 'out,' or.
- they cannot do this, to strike th#
■triker with It when ha Is running, which
Ukewt#* put* him *eut.'
"Instead of wicket#, there ar*. at this
gam*, four or (Ire marks called bases,
one ( of which being th* on* st which th*
striker stands, la called 'homo.*
"As st cricket, th# point of th# gam#
ta to mak# th# most runs between bates:
th# party which count# th* most runs
win# th* day."
The feet that th* reporter thought It
?ces**ry to explain how the gam* was
played indicate# the extent of th* public*#
knowledge of baseball at that time, and
\ wasn't quit# »ur> whether ther#
ur bases or five. When he #ay» a

Hunting River Pirates on the Sein#.
A black and stormy night—the whole
sky flapping with wind—we hunted the
pirate of the Seine. In a slim launch
we slipped down from the old bridge
of Sevres, peat Blllsncourt and under
the dark mass of the viaduct
There were five of us In the launch;
four were men of the river police. I
waa a mere guest of theirs, welcome for
the^sake of my company and cigars.
We were after thieves of all sorts, ma
rauders. wharf-robbers, ptekers-up of
cables and casks, plratds and poachers.
Notably, however, we wer* hunting the
men with the net*.
It was 2 in the morning when we shot
the bridge at the PoInt-du-Jour and
crept on toward Meudon. We had Just
passed the Poplar* at Rlllancourt when
the sergeant hushed us down. We car
ried no lights and the launch*went
almost noisely through the toss and
storm of the night. We heard clearly
enough, however, the fall of oar*, soft
but regular. 'Over near the Isle de
Rnhinaon dark forma hovered on the
water. At a venture you might have
gues**d there were two skiffs and six
or eight men. One of the boats glided
out Into mid-stream. There were iw
men at the oars. A third fellow was
standing. Suddenly there came a swish
as the net was cast, and then—In a
track of light the launch drove onto the
aklff. Bo sudden and unexpected wax
the on-flare of our light, so unlooked
for our appearance, that the poachers
squealed as though they had seen a
ghost. One of the oarsmen flung him
self overboard and iwam for shore. The
sergeant's revolver barked—he fired In
the alr^-but the swimmer came not
back. The other two poachers wer*
mild-mannered men. We towed them
to thq Brcak-o'-Day. It was the first
stage In their Journey to New Caledo

The Limit. ’
A number of actors were discussing
recently the merits of different board
ing-houses In a certain Western city,
and the argument turned on the com
parative meagreness of the table hoard
provided by ths various landladies. One
of the party who had listened quietly
to the talk now spoke up.
"If any of you fellows really want to
put yourself on a rigid diet." he said.

Cincinnati. I came down to breakfast
there one morning, and the servant
waltzed up and asked me If I*d have
ham or eggs. I aaid I didn't want to
be grasping, and ordered the yolk of
an egg—sold I'd have the white of it
for lunch."—Harper’s Weekly.
