THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
1ESERTERS CAUGHT
\NEGROES FIGHT A DUEL
WITH BIG PILE OF PIES
Two Escaped Soldiers From
McPherson Got
Hungry.
Enjoying llbtrjy l#*s than twenty-
four hour*, during which time they had
been without food and water, Hilton
Gr >*an and Warner Sherrard, eacaped
• Idlers from the prison barracks at
Fiat McPheraon, were brought Into tha
city Tuesday morning, tied hand and
foot with a mule's halter, and safely
replaced behind the bars, where they
will await courtmartlai. The two sol
dlera were caught 14 miles from At
lanta shortly after daybreak by Deputy
Sheriff J. L. Heard and Officer L. I.
Hattaway, of the district police.
On Monday morning the county po
lie# and sheriffs were notified to be on
the lookout for two escaped soldiers
from Fort McPherson, the men having
broken Jail earlier In the day, and by
overpowering the guard and taking
away his gun had made their escape
Into the woods beyond East Point. The
two men had been Inmates of the pris
on ward at the barracks, being held
for courtniartial for some previous of
fense.
On Tuesday morning shortly after f,
O'clock the two soldiers passed the
camp of a party of county road work
ers at Handtown postoffice, 14 miles
from Atlanta. L. J* Hattaway, a
justice of the peace, was In charge of
the camping party, and to him the
two men applied for assistance, assert
ing that they had enjoyed no finsl for
several days. Hattaway at once fur
nished them with food, and although
his suspicions were aroused by the
presence of two soldiers In full uni
form so far from the barracks, he had
not heard of the escape of the two
desperate deserters.
Deputy Sheriff heard happened to
pass on his way home from a fishing
trip while the men were enjoying the
hospitality of their host, and he Im
parted the Information to Hattaway
concerning the escape of the soldiers.
The two men then confronted the de
serters with the fact thnt they were
under arrest, and In spite of their
pleadings, the men were bound hand
and foot with a good stout halter rope
taken from a mule standing near, and
later they were brought to Atlanta and
Identified aa the eacapers of Monday.
Aa a result of a warn} battle with
atlll warmer plea, Isaiah Gordon, a
atubby negro, waa given ten daye In
the city stockade Tuesday morning.
Gordon's opoonent couldn't be caught
and will go unpunished for fllnglftg
the fancy pastry.
The custard battle took place at a
bakery at US Rlmpaon street, at which
the negroes are employed. The two
negroes engaged In a discussion which
waxed warmer and warmer until the
two came to blowa. After a few
pasaes, however, the two men backed
off and began to acale pies, apple,
mince, custard, peach, cocoanut and
lemon, at one another'a heads. The
scaling and flinging kept on
good while and ever)' time a coon was
hit, according to thoae who testified,
a volume of Ir.nguage would pour forth
sufficient to have burned the pies Into
a cinder.
According to Officers Cowan and
Hollis, Isaiah was very much plad up
when he waa taken Into custody.

has been* necessary to cleanliness Is
not needed now. Piping has been real
eliminated—that Is, any that Is ap-
rent to spoil the contour of the wnlls,
'or now It Is brought directly Into the
tubs, basins, etc., without nil the colls,
joints and lengths of tubing tliut Hive
jeen essential before.
Then, too, the bath tubs and basins
are living built directly Into the wnlla
so that there Is no chance for dust t»
gather back of or under them. Either
the Roman type of tub. with a broad,
flat base that rest* on the floor, or th*
French style, with wide feet, that raises
several Inches from the boards, are
popular and uttfactlve when cemented
Into the walls. If placet! In a corner,
many of them are now, they can b*
made a part of the wall on three sides,
or only on one side. If the shape of the
room Is such as to make the other Im
practicable. •
Like the tuba, basins are built Into
the wall* at the hack or in a corner
where both sides are made a part of
he tiling, etc. Made In this way, In
stead of haring four or two legs, with
the piping showing beneath, there Is
one wide pedestal and ns the tubing
Joins the faucets directly In the howl,
none of It Is seen. Even the receptor
for the shower bath la built Into the
wall.
Tills new method of arrangement and
fitting makes a change In the position
of the faucets necessary. In the tubs
they nre placed In the side cemented
Into the wall and come out directly In
the bath. Instead of on the rim, oa was
the old style. And the waste water Is
carried off either from the center or
from one end.
The basins are naturally similarly
titled, with th* hot and cold water out
let* opening from one side of the lava
tory.
The handles on the faucets are
porcelain, and when the construction
the apartment makes the arrange
ment of the .aping visible they are
done in enamel so that they will collect
less dust, and lie little trouble to wash
off with warm water.
In keeping with the other sanitary
fittings, glass rods for the towels are
becoming favorites, and glass shelves
above the basin for such things as are
la constant use are in great demand. •
Everything that Isn’t glass Is porce
lain this year. The stools, medicine
case or chest that hangs on the wall*,
nnd even the rims of the mirrors. As
yet the receptacles for the china or
glass tooth inug, drinking glass and
soap dish have not been made In
porcelain, and In brass or nlckle, as
most of them come, need careful at
tention to be kept looking bright. The
rough, heavy wire dish for the sponge
that I* placed on the wall directly
i.buve the hath tub, and a similarly
(onstructed one for the brushes can be
had in either of the metals.
