2 NEWS OF A DAY IN GEORGIA’S CAPITAL NO “HELL” INQUIRY WAS SENT BABHY SAYS NO HECIXAR WOULD DELIVER SUCH A MESSAGE. General Commending *>ie Depart ment of the Gulf Dlscnase" the Charge of Foreefnl Lnngnage He I!ed at Manaaaoa— Soya He’s no Saint and la Only Human-Sorry HU Report Criticising Georgia Troopa Was Mn<lr Public. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23.—Gen. Thomas H. Barry, who has been criticised be cause of alleged profanity at the Man assas maneuvers, gave out a brief in terview to-<?ay with regard to the mat ter. Speaking of the charges of pro fanity, he said: •T am no saint, I am only human, but I didn’t send any message of Col. Anderson asking ‘Why in the hell his column hadn’t moved. All of my or ders were carried by couriers from among the ‘regulars,’ and there is not a soldier in the regular army who would deliver such a message.” "In the excitement of the moment,” continued the army officer, "I might have turned to some of my aides and asked why in the hell that column hadn’t moved, but I didn’t send any such message.” “I have the highest regard,” said Gen. Barry, "for Gen. Thomason and Col. Anderson. I think they are gen tlemen in the true sense of the word, and I have only the kindest feeling for them. It has never been my purpose to antagonize the state troops, and 1 think my report of the maneuvers has been misconstrued. I am sorry, how ever, that the report was made pub lic, and had no idea that it would be.” “All this agitation,” continued the general, "about the behavior of the troops at NFanassas is calculated to do them injury. The sooner it ceases the better for all concerned. I intend call ing on Gov. Terrell, when he returns to the city. I wish to talk the matter over with him, although I have, of course, nothing to explain to any one about my official reports to the War Department. They are founded on facts." Lawyer* in It Fist Fight. Dan W. Rountree and Ben J. Con yers, two well-known lawyers, in dulged in a warm fisticuff fight in the second division of the City Court to day. They were arguing opposite sides of a case when Mr. Conyers made a remark questioning Mr. Rountree’s ve racity. Shouting that he was tired of such interruptions, Mr. Rountree struck Mr. Conyers with an ink well. The lat ter jumped for his assailant and sev eral blows were struck on both sides, some of which left their marks, be fore the men were separated. Judge Calhoun will deal with the matter at the conclusion of the case. Would Hlv Georgia. Commissioner Joseph M. Brown re turned to-day from the convention of the Tennessee River Improvement As sociation at New Decatur, Ala., where he went as a Oeorgia delegate. The association memorialized Congress to spend 1575,000 in deepening the Ten nessee river. With this done, Mr. Brown says Chattanooga will be in connection by water with New Orleans, St. Louis. Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Chicago by the Chicago canal, and thence by the Great Lakes with the Atlantic ocean. He believes this, in connection with the state road, would be a powerful lever for Georgia in se curing better freight rates. Spencer Under Heavy Bond. Bert Spencer, the 17-year-old lad who was arrested as the result of the ac cidental shooting of David Owen, who died, was to-day held In *5,000 ball, but on the charge of burglary, to which he practically confessed. His companion, Herbert Talley, was put under *SOO bond. Lee Tucker, the youth arrested in connection with the same bur glaries, was released. FLORIDA’S ELECTION RETURNS.
