E. R. Sweat, Seeking Divorce,
Bares What He Declares Was
Attempt on His Life.
That hip bride of six months placed
pulverized glass in his coffee with the
evident purpose of killing him is one
of the sensational charges made in a
suit for divorce filed Wednesday by
E. R. Sweat, of No. 33 Gresham street,
through his attorney, R. A Boorstin.
Sweat claims that persecutions at
the hands of his wife, of which the
alleged attempt to administer the
ground glass was the climax, have
left him a nervous wreck and unfit
for work.
They were wed February *. after a
romantic courtship. Married life soon
palled on the wife, according to
Sweat. Her ill treatment of him
began before a month had passed, he
says. She reproved him one day. he
recites, by slapping him in the face
in the presence of strangers. Tiun
she grew more persistent.
Sweat swears that she would sleep
the whole day for the sole purpose
of keeping him awake and tormenting
him when he returned home tired
from work at night.
They separated after an Incident
of July 15. Sweat's story is that he
came home from work that night and |
sat down at the supper table. He
drank one cup of coffee and asker.
for another. He says that the second
cup tasted peculiar and that when he
stirred it and got some of the grounds
on his spoon he discovered a quan
tity of pulverized glass.
He declares that he charged her
with an attempt to kill him and that
she replied by hurling the sugar bowl
out of the window and snatching the
coffee cup from his grasp and de
stroying it. She left the saucer n
the table and in this, Sweat claims,
there remained some of the glass
which he had removed from the cup.

with glory by routing the “enemy,”
composed of another battalion of the
regiment, a detachment of the Second
Georgia infantry to-day was put to
Ignominious flight by a swarm of yel-
lowjackets, encountered on the battle
field. Several of the soldiers were
stung, but the majority escaped by
a hasty and disorganized retreat.
While to-day’s “battle" was in
progress a squad of soldiers digging
intrenchments unearthed a human
skeleton.
The Macon Volunteers last night
entertained Colonel Thomas and other
officers at supper, follow ed by a “bad
ger*’ fight. Lieutenant Whittaker, of

Watch them, and see how keen is the

It is a safe prediction that every

will be a cruel pace set by the leaders,

not a one but needs every possible

It is the home stretch which the

Probe Begun of Binghamton Hol
ocaust as Death List Grows.
Girls Trapped at Benches.
BINGHAMTON, N. Y„ July 23.—
Searching parties to-day worked in
the ruins of the building of the Bing
hamton Clothing Company seeking
bodies believed to be buried there.
Streams of water were played on
the building all night to cool them
enough to allow the rescue work to
begin. Workmen at daylight began
digging at the tons of charred timber,
brick and mortar, in an effort to reach
the bodies still known to be burled in
the debris
At noon on Wednesday twenty-one
bodies had been recovered. The death
list will reach 58. it was estimated.
Ten injured are in a hospital. Of the
111 persons in the building at the
time the fire broke out only 38 es
caped. Thirty-seven are missing.
Girls Mistake Alarm.
Belief that the alarm was sounded
only as a fire drill, caused the great
loss of life. When the girls and wom
en working in the factory realized
that the building was burning the
main avenue of escape had already
been cut off. Instantly the other ex
its were choked with panic-stricken
girls
Many reached the windows but the
firemen and others bent on rescuing
inmates were powerless to aid them,
owing to the rapidity with which the
flames licked up the inflammable
mill material.
Eighteen minutes elapsed from the
time the fire broke out until the
walls fell and the building was in
ruins.
Fire Laid to Smoker.
Reed B. Freeman, president of the
company, attributes the fire to the
carelessness of an employee in throw
ing a cigarette butt under a stair
way, where inflammable material was
stored.
Smoking was prohibited in the
building, but many employees were
addicted to the habit, according to
Freeman, and often went to the alley
near the building to smoke.
Rigid investigation of the fire will
be made by the authorities. They
will investigate the charges made
that gasoline was stored in the build
ing, dangerously near the stairway
from the upper floors and that the
fire escapes were so exposed that
many victims were burned while try
ing to descend.

A delegation of Ansley Park citi

mittee of Council at its meeting a
week from Friday to protest against
the lack of work in Ansley Park and
to insist that Peachtree Circle and
South Prado, for which money has
been appropriated, be paved at once.
These citizens declare they will de
mand to know* who is responsible for
the delay. The money was appro
priated January 1 The property own
ers are to pay a greater proportion

been stuck in the park during the
seven months of the year, with the
exception of one short block on Lom

Mayor Woodward declared Wed
nesday that little relief from such
conditions could be expected so long
as our present system of government
was in effect. He said he had been
trying to tell the people all the year
that they could not trace responsi
bility in matters of such gross incom
petency and negligence.
“This new charter of Council*# the
Legislature is about to submit to thV
people is far worse,” he said. “It
provides for a board to supervise the
construction department, which will
be about as satisfactory as the re
mainder of our boards.
“The Ansley Park citizens will have
to frighten the whole city government
into action to get any real results.”
