Atlanta, November 27.—Speaker Little called the house to order promptly at 10 o’clock this morning and prayer was of fered by Chaplain Branham. Consideration of the general appropria tion bill was resumed as the special order and Mr. Berner, of Monroe, took the chair. The first item considered was the salary of the clerk of the railroad commission. The committee on finance recommended that it be fixed at $1500. Mr. Glenn moved to substitute $1200, the salary heretofore paid, and after discussion tbe substitute prevailed. The appropriation for defraying'the con tingent expenses of the railroad commis sion was fixed at $500 per annum. For expenses at the capitol and execu tive mansion was fixed at $8700. The following items were then agreed to: Special appropriation for repairing the executive mansion $ 800 00 Contingent fund 8,000 00 Printing fund 8,000 00 Salary of commissioner of agriculture 2,000 00 Salary of clerk of commissioner of agri culture : 1,200 00 Stationery forgencral assembly 718 75 Incidental expenses for general assem bly 100 00 Printing lhnd of railroad commission 500 00 For continuing the work of building a new capitol, $268,724.33 for 1887 and $200,000 for 1888 were appropriated. For salary of an assistant state librarian, $500. Mr. Monroe, of Calhoun, offered an ad ditional section to the bill, requiring all accounts to be itemized under the bill to be supported by affidavits. A motion by Mf. DuBose, of Wilkes, to reconsider the item appropriating $800 for the traveling expenses of the officers of the penitentiary was lost. The farmer members, as a rule, voted against the mo tion. They are evidently opposed to ex pending money. A motion by Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, to reconsider the item appropriating $3000 for the purchase of musical instruments for the academy for the blind was lost. On motion of Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, the committee rose and the chairman re ported the bill with the recommendation that it do pass as amended. The bill was read the third time, and a number of amendments made b.y the com mittee of the whole were agreed toj While the salary of the keeper of public build ings was being considered, a motion was made by Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, to post pone farther action on the bill until Mon day morning. The motion was carried. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. By unanimous consent, Mr. Russell, of Clarke, introduced n bill-to amend the charter of the Covington and Macon rail road. The bill by Mr. Ham, of Hall, to repeal the act establishing a oily court in Hull county, was read the second time. Mr. Felton, of Bibb, Introduced a bill to prevent railroads in the state from making any sale, assignment, transfer, consolida tion, etc., thut will prevent the slate’s having jurisdiction over the property of such railroads. The house adjourned at 1 o’clock. Th» lllll Tragedy. Atlanta, November 27.—No additional facts have come to light in reference to yesterday’s terrible tragedy, in which Boo and Tony Hill perished. The story in a nutshell is as I wired you last night. Two brothers of bright Intel iigence, devoted to each other, genial and companionable when sober, were drinking together in tiieir room, when some reproof or angry word fired their demented minds and a struggle ensued, ending in murder and suicide. No eye witnessed the trag edy, and only the reports of the pistol, the location of the wounds and tne general circumstances point to its dreadful details. The fact that there were evidences of a struggle render it probable that it was to gain possession of the pistol which was kept in a dressing cose on the table. One or two of the shots may have been fired in the struggle; then it would seem that Bob, securing possession of the pistol, fired two shots into his brother at close range, as both of them burnt his coat with powder. The first four shots are said to have followed each other in rapid suc cession, then a moment later came the last. Thus it would soem that Bob, realizing his fearful deed, had placed the pistol to his head and scat the remaining bullet crash ing through his own brain. These are tbe indications as they appear upon the sur face. If there is any other story it is for ever buried with the two unhappy brothers who to-night sleep in a single grave. No more fear fa i tragedy has ever hap pened in this city. No more fearful ex ample of the legitimate result of reckless dissipation. Th« Kx«Oovi‘rn«r*H Denial. Atlanta. November 27.—Ex-Go ernor Henry D. McDaniel has sent the following card to the Constitution: “Atlanta, Ga., November 27,1886.—To the Editors of the Constitution: My attention has been called to a statement reported to have been made by Mr. James P. Harrison be- fore the legislative committee of invest!- f ation, that Mu. L. F. Livingston, of New- :m, said to several gentlemen that I as signed to him (Mr. Livingston) as the reason why Mr. Evans P. Howell wa3 appointed .*apitol commission er that the capitol commission was obliged to have the influence ot the Atlanta Constitution and the support cf the Constitution. Without reference to what may have passed between Mr. Liv ingston and others on that subject I desire to say that I did not tell him that I se lected Mr. Howell for that position to secure the support of the Atlanta Constitu tion, nor anything of impojt. Mr. Crane died on January 15, 1885, when I was at Monroe, Ga. 1 learned the fact about noon and returned to Atlanta in the atternoon. The names of several gentlemen, some living in Atlanta and some elsewhere, were suggested for my consideration in ap pointing his successor. Amongst the numberiwas that of Mr. Howell, w ho, like several others, was not an applicant. Uu the 17th, the day after the tuneral, I appointed Mr. Howell ior several reasons which I■ , sidered sufficient. ,.°“ r . had been friendly, he hvqd in Atlanta where it, is necessary to have ai membtr ot the commission; he had long been identi fied prominently with the material inter ests of the city and with t xtcnsiv e build irigs in the city; he was well acquainted j with business me i and methods and had | successfully managed his own affairs, tie was well qualified for the posi tion in capacity, experience and character. The fact that the Atlanta Constitution, of which lie was editor-iu- j chief, had been prominent in the ettort to secure the building of a new capitol, and. had sustained the commission in proceeu- ing to build it within the appropriation did not, in my opinion, disqualify him.; but this fact alone would not have in- duced me to appoint him or any other man. [Signed] Henry D. McDaniel. TIk. Oflicinl Vote. Raleigh, N. C., November 27.—The vote ot the state as officially declared to day shows that for congress in the First district Louis C.

A Day of Arerag# Business and no Features. New York, November 27.—The stock market to-day presented few features dif ferent from that of yesterday, the same stocks, Reading and Lake Shore, monopo lizing the interest taken in speculation. In the afternoon, however, coal stocks came more into prominence, and were strong and active, and in sympathy with Rcadiug. Trading in the latter named stock was the largest ever known, and its sales were one- half of the large business done in all the stocks. Buying was very good for both domestic and foreign accounts, and trading was accompanied by great excite ment. The Vanderbilts were all again strong. Most of the specialties were heavy to weak, as were also the coal stocks until the last hour, when the inlluence of the strength in Reading reached them and a rally was the result. Richmond and West Point dropped 4 pc-r cent, early in the day, which is accounted for by the unwill ingness of weak holders to pay for the new issue of preferred stock. Memphis and Charleston again developed great weak ness and declined 5 points further. Both . of the latter named stocks recovered partially later in the day. The general list was’quiet nr.d generally heavy and calls for no comment. The opening was firm, the g-aines over last evening’s final prices being J and A per cent. Reading was the most noticeable stock in consequence of its great activity and firmness. Lake Shore was also strong while New England, Jersey Central and West Point were conspicuously weuk. The general list was heavy and so continued most of the day, though a rally in sympathy with Reading occurred soon in the afternoon. Jersey Contraband Lackawanna became quiet, strong "and active. The close was about steady at irregular changes from opening figures. The total sales of the duy were 601,000 shares. Final changes are about equally divided between small gains and equally small losses. The only important decline, however, was Richmond and West Point 2 per cunt. Reading is up 5} and Lacka wanna lj. Nrn Points of Law. St Louis, November 27.—Judge Treat, of the United States district court, in giv ing additional Instructions to the United States grand jury on the subject of elec tion frauds this afternoon, made the im portant point that under federal and state laws state judges of election are subject to federal law, and that a willful violation of their duties is an indictable offence. He also said that if the state board of regis tration revisors had stricken from the list of voters, names or name of persons without having first fully satisfied themselves that the persons so stricken off' had no legal right to vote, then the mem bers of the board had committed an offence against the federal law; and were subject to indictment. Any person who voted fiom a precinct of which he was not a resident is also indictable, and the jury were instructed to so find. Tennessee on « Boom.

Tlie Oliaiiiiimmiiiii: Tax—I’nlsnneil Hr.in in (he Navy Yard—New IVst musters Appolutoil —Tile Snll-ri)inniittec on Appropriations in Besson. Washington, November 27.—A shrewd democratic observer of events said to day : “There is a chance for the democrats to get control of tile senate of the fiftieth congress by a coup d’etat which is perfect ly legitimate. Last winter the republicans in the senate were so anxious to nave Da kota admitted as a state that they made overtures to Senator Voorhees, whose son is a delegate from Washington torritorv. Tlie purpose was to win over democratic opposition to Dakota by conceding Wash ington territory’s claim to admission at the same time. Dakota is ovcrwbemingly republican, while Washington, it was be lieved, could eventually bo wrested from the democrats. Acting on this belief the republican senate passed bills admitting both Dakota and Washington. The state of Washington would send two demo cratic senators here at once. The senate bills addmittiug both are now on the house calendar. A democratic house would only follow precedents in taking party advantage of the situation by passing the Washington bill in the coming short session and finding a pretext to leave the Dakota bill on the calendar. The territory which republican shrewdness reckoned on as at least de batable ground has been carried for the democrats, and Delegate Voorhees by an increased majority. The machinery nec essary for forming the state government and electing the United States senators can bo put into operation very soon. By the time the next congress meets two democratic senators from the state of Washington can be in the city of Wash ington ready to vote with their party. The senate would then stand democrats 39, republicans 39—that is, if tbe wild Rid- dleberger and the unruly VanWyckeau be kept in the republican line, which is exceedingly doubtful.” This might be a good scheme, if it would work. The chances are altogether that the great rail road and monopoly interests of the said territories would control the senatorial elections, and of course they would be cast for republicans. Tlie Sun Committed. Washington, N vember 27.—The dis trict sub-committee of the committee on appeals had the commissioners before them to-day. The Dill was gone over item by item. A number of tbe sub-committee was quoted as saying that the question of submitting estimates was raised and dis cussed quite fully between the memoers of the sub committee and the commissioners. The latter were informed positively that the committee could not receive estimates except from the secretary of the treas ury and from no other source could they take jurisdiction of estimates and net upon them. It was finally prac tically decided that the commissioners should submit their estimates to the secre tary of ihc treasury in accordance with the legal views of that official and of the appropriations committee. !8o that the controversy is virtually ended. Another member ol the qnb committee stated that when the commissioners had the law fully explained to them they appeared to be willing to comply without any opposition.

Lady Miles was cross examined. She said she was not aware that the cabman bearing the letter from the Duke of Marl borough once entered Lady Campbell’s bed room. The cabman might, tlie wit ness thought, have bunded Lilly Campbell the letter in doors instead of through a servant and might, have received from her a reply di rect, because under the circumstances in which she was placed, Lady Campbell might have suspected her servants, espe cially her husband’s nurse, and feared to en trust th'em with any correspondence. At this point certain Idlers written by the witness to tlie defendant was produced and she was asked if they’ were hers. Shu said they were, and added that when slio wrote them she thought she was writing (o a man of honor, and not to such a person ns Lord Colin Campbell had turned out to be [sensationj, and that she still thought a woman’s letters should be considered sacred. [Applause.] Mrs. Duffy, Lord Campbell’s nurse, Lady Miles continued, invented he story that Lady Campbell Imd miscarried. The invention was made to conceal thu real nature of Lady Camp bell's affliction. Lord Colin Campbell had told the witness he was endeavoring to ob tain all the information he possibly could against ills wife in ordor to sue her for a divorce, and had subsequently told the witness that he had failed to obtain any. Mr. Russell, the plaintiff’s counsel, corrected liis ooening statement by adding to it that Lady Camp bell, when she married defendant,brought him a fortune ol $30,000. Mr. Russell then gave notice that the plaintiff's ease was closed. Robert Bouiialinc Finlay, Q. C., opened the case for tlie defense He said it afforded inexpressible relief to Lord Colin Campbell to have to defend himself in open court from the gross and cruel im putations which imd been put upon him and from the charge of adultery which had been trumped up. The malady from which the defendant suffered wan not ve- neriai, although the result of youthful in discretion. Ludy Campbell’s mother had been told the nature of t,bo defendant’s ailment before the marriage, but she nevertheless urged on the union, saying, her daughter was willing to merely act as nurse to her husband, and even wrote to the Duke of Argyle to press upon him the ful fillment of the on,'.i„e. u-:ff. Tlie mar riage was authorized by a physician, who said it wns desirable that the defendant should have the marriage relationship with the plaintiff, Ibniug the Easter sonsou ot 1332, tilc Daks of Marlborough, who HAD BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH HER. was often scon in L.:.;ly Campbell « com pany. They visited Luigh Court at the same time and their bedrooms therein ad joined. " Doubtless,” FinJuy contended, “the Duke of Marlborough and Lady Campbell at this time were criminally in timate if they had not been before. After this Lady Campbell went to Purls, and on this journey she was chaperoned uy Lady Miles. They remained in Paris one month, the Duke of Marlborough be ing there also. When Lady Campbell returned from Paris she sent her maid to Switzerland evidently.” the lawyer said, “because the maid knew too much; that the maid would lie called by the defense and would testify; on the 12th of August Lady Campbell went to Purfleet hotel and remained there with the Duke of Marl borough until tlie following Mon day. General Butler visited Ludy Campbell during her husband’s ab sence and used to remain with her as long as three hours at. a time. Once during one of these interviews some one called to see Lady Campbell. She came out of the room, her hair disarranged and shouted “not at home,” and returned to General Butler. In the meantime Lord Colin Campbell came home unexpectedly, and while he was still in one of tlie rooms down stairs, General Butler slipped out on tip-too without meeting the husband. That same evening Lady Campbell was taken ill. Lord Colin Campbell remained in Leigh court Irani August, 1882, to Fob.. 1888, and during this time Lady Campbell went to and from London and committed adultery with Dr. Bird. Lord $bffin Campbell then knew nothin!.' about his wife’s bad con duct, but. she had a guilty conscience, ami she got Solicitor Lewis to write a letter j charging Lord Colin Campbell with giving ! tier a loathsome disease, and refusing to ' live witli him as his wife. Lord Colin Campbell bad never heard of such a charge before, and of course refused to agree that they should not live as man and wife. Exult* 1 iff in Ireland.
