LIBERTY CONTEST DECIDED—THE CAPITOL GROUNDS TO BE IM PROVED—SOME IMPOR T.VNT M EASUKES —TH E COIT RT MARTIAL. Atlanta, December 2.—[Special.]— There was quite a spirited debate in the Senate this morning on a motion to re consider the act passed yesterday relative to the running of excursion trains on Sun day, “prohibiting the same.” The motion was made by Senator Caba- niss, of the Twenty-second. Several speeches were made against it, the most | notable being that of Senator Todd, of the 1 flirty-sixth. “1 am opposed.” said he, “to the run ning of all trains on Sunday. They are not run because they are a necessity, or for the convenience of the people, hut for the almighty dollar. “On Saturday night the farmer is obliged to stick his plow until Monday any transfer of any sort whatever. Who owns this property now? How did they come into possession of it? The resolution was passed. Mr. Bush, of Miller, moved that no new matter should be introduced after the 5th of December, except by a two-third vote of the House. This was adopted. MINOR NOTES. The Military advisory hoard meets in Atlanta on the 5th of December in the Agricultural committee room at the Capi tol. The courtmartial of Capt. A. C.

The members of the courtmartial will he : Lieutenant-Colonel Wylie of Macon, Capt. O. T. Keenan of the Macon Hussars, Capt. Edward Young of the Greene Rifles, Capt. W. H.

Ga., December 2.—Fire to day destroyed the Georgia railroad offices and freight depot, and partially burned the Union passenger station. The total loss is about $75,000 and the total insur ance $54,000. The net loss is mostly on freight remaining in the depot longer than the time allowed and is pretty well dis tributed among the merchants of the city. the ghost dances continue. Sr. Louis, December 2.—A special from Fort Reno, Indian Territory, to Gen. Wesley Merritt in command of the De partment of the Missouri, says: Ghost dances are at present being held at the Washita river Cantonment and Red Hills, the Red Hills dance being conducted by Sitting Bull in person. A Northen Arapaho, who lias been in the vicinity for months, claims to be a disciple of the new Christ. Sitting Bull has announced that when the dance is completed he will return to his home as he has already a herd of forty or fifty ponies, presents from be lievers in the new Christ. His announce ment is probably sincere. When lie goes, it is probable the excitement among the Indians will subside. General Meritt has received orders to send the troops at Fort Lewis, Col., to Fort Mead. The troop are cavelry men, and number 100. THE HOSTILE CHEYENNES. Pink Ridge Agency, (via Rushville) December 2.—Scouts have been sent out to warn the settlers along the line that the Cheyenne river hostiles are on \\ bite river at the mouth of Hay Creek, eleven miles from a government herd of 5,000 cattle. All the ranches on White river have been robbed, their ponies stolen and their cattle killed. Four spies sent out Friday have not returned, and it is feared they have been killed. Signal tires North of the White river announce the approach of the Cheyennes. The hostiles have sent word to thf friendly Indians here that all spies would be killed. The half-breed settlers are fleeing 6 to the agency, all re porting heavy losses in cattle and ponies. DEATH OF COL. FURLOW. Atlanta,—[Special.]—December 2.—Coi. T. M. Furlow.of Americas, died here today. The body will leave tomorrow morning for Americus. The death was due to the shock resulting from a suigical operation for cancer. THE COAL MINERS’ STRIKE. Nashville, Tenn., December 2.—A Birmingham, Ala., special says: The strike of the coal miners of Alabama went into effect yesterday, hut all the men did not go out as expected. Of the 8000 free miners in the State, it is estimated that 6000 are out. The only sensational feat ure of the strike is reported to have been brought about by the efforts of the Penn sylvania Iron Manufacturing Company, who want to cause a shut-down of the furnaces in this district. It is claimed that the iron men have promised the min ers strong financial support in the event of a prolonged strike. A number of mine operators here are going to fill the places of the strikers with negroes. They expect eventually to operate their mines entirely with negro labor. What the outcome of the strike will be it is impossible to say, hut a number of furnaces will shut down, and probably all in this district. A PRISONER LYNCHED. Danville, Ya., December 2.—Several weeks ago, Thai! Fowlkes murdered a prominent citizen of Charlotte county, named Yancey. He was arraigned for trial today in Charlotte county and the case postponed. A special to the Daily Register says, that while the sheriff was proceeding with the prisoner to the sta tion to return him to jail, a force of men intercepted him and lynched the prisoner by the road side. SALES OF LEAF TOBACCO. Danville, Va., December 2.—The sales of leaf tobacco in this market for November were 3,883,935 pounds. The sales for the first two months of the to- bacco year were 80,309,685 pounds, an in crease of 1,378,000 pounds as compared with the same period last year. NEW NATIONAL BANKS. Washinton, December 2.—The Comp troller of the Currency has authorized the Dominion National Bank of Bristol, Ya., to begin busiuess with a capital of $100,000. and the Gulf N tional Bank of Tampa, Fla., with a capital of $50,000.

Highest of all Ln Leavening Power,— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE OTHER BILLS OF INTEREST. An important hiil was introduced by ■Senator Candler, of the Fortieth. Its effect is to consolidate the county and State elec tions. The time of holding the county is changed from January to the first Wednes day in October, and the term of all the county officers is made two years. Two school hills were introduced. One by Senator Ellington, authorizing each county to levy a special tax for school pur poses, and another by Senator Irvine to re vise and consolidate the common school laws of the State. A hill was introduced by Senator Harp, of the Twenty-fourth, to incorporate the Columbus Investment Company. A number of other local hills were intro duced, and seven local hills were passed. IN THE HOUSE. The hill by Martin, of Fulton, appro priating SIS,000 to the improvement of the capitol grounds, was considered in com mittee of the whole. There was consid erable discussion, but the hill was passed finally. The white man, Norman, of Liberty, keeps his seat. The negro James in it.” That was decided this morning. The committee on privileges and elec tions submitted their report in Norman's favor. It was unanimous. When the motion was made to adopt this report, the negro Lectured Crawford, of McIntosh, moved to amend by using the word “James" in lieu of “Norman.” An injury from Fleming of Richmond brought out a statement of the ease from Chairman Martin. Norman’s majority was given by the throwing out of Midway precinct in which there is a con siderable negro majority. It was done upon the ground that one of the free holders required by law was not a free holder, and the committee believed this was sufficient reason for throwing out the precinct. Only the two negroes voted for Craw ford’s amendment, and the report of the committee was sustained. HE HAS A DESPERATE STRUGGLE WITH A PASSENGER.

Mr. Hill—Snelson's colleague in the last House—spoke at some length. The constitution, lie said, c m- ti-mplated a forty days’ session. The last Legislature was in session nearly 200 days. To limit the salary would remedy all that. Humphreys, of Brooks, wanted to pro vide that the proposed law should apply only to the members elected from Meri wether county. Gaz HarlriJge and Fleming, of Richmond, made fun of the bill—the latter recalling the fact there is a county in North Carolina called Bun combe. Finally the bill was put to a vote and lost overwhelmingly. GENERAL MATTERS. A bill was introduced by Dr. Johnson, of Appiing, requiring railroads to furnish equal aceommouatious for wuite and col ored. and to provide separate cars for white and colored. The bill by Gilbert, of Muscogee, pro viding for a constitutional amendment so that bills may be read the first time by title only—the same amendment that was lost through executive negligence this year —was the subject of prolonged discussion. Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, wanted all gen eral bills at least to he read in full the first time. The bill was fiua.iy recommit ted, and this amendment will probably b# incorporated by the committee. The resolution of Mr. Whitfi Id, of Baldwin, concerning an investigation of the Western and Atlantic property in Chattanooga, was taken up. Mr. Whit field urged, amongst other reasons for this, the fact that a certain strip of land, orig inally the property of the State and in cluded in surveys of the State's property there, was no longer considered the prop erty of the State; yet there it no record of The train was No. 25, mixed passenger and freight,, and was hound south. From Oscar Sehmit, of Milwau kee, Wis., oue of the passengers, the fol lowing particulars were obtained: At Gilmer, a spare-faced man, about five feet, seven or eight inches tall, with a black mustache and black eyes, bought a ticket for Big Sandy. There he got off and bought a ticket for Tyler. When the train started to pull out from the water tank between Big Sandy and Winona, the coupling between the passenger coach and the <;ars in front either was broken or was purposely re moved, and the train pulled out, leaving the coach behind. There were several passengers in the coach, among them one colored woman. All the passengers ex cept Sehmit, J. R. Gerhardt, and the man who committed the robbery, left the car and went out on the platform to discover what was the matter. The first intima tion the robber gave of his intention was the pulling of his pistol, firing a shot into the top of the car, and crying out: “Hands up, gentlemen.” “ain 11 Schmidt said: "I looked around | to see what was the matter, thinking it was some drunken robber, and found the pistol under my nose. The man with the pistol told me to shell out my money, and I made haste to reach down in mv packet and give him what silver I had, about $9 or $10. He them turned to Gerhardt, who was in the seat with me, and asked him for his money, pointing the pistol at his breast as he did so. Gerhardt said: “I have no money.” “I know better, shell out,” said the robBer. Gerhardt raised his hand to turn aside the pistol, when the Robber tired, the bail en tering Gerhardt’s left side just below the heart. Gerhardt then grappled with the robber, trying to get possession of the pistol and fought him to the door of the car. During the scuiHe, the robber fired five times, then his pistol being empty he turned and ran. The trainmen say that as the engine started, leaving the passen ger coach behind, the im-n signalled them, but mistrusting that something was wrong they refused to stop. After the. robbery they backed up and the coach was taken on again. Gerhardt, the wounded man, was brought to this city and placed in the railroad hospital. lie cannot live. He represents a sewing machine company, and travelled from Marshall, Texas. His family resides in Paris, Texas. A NOTABLE WEDDING. THE LOVERS OF THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO UNITED. Atlanta, December 2.—[Specicial.]— A notable wedding ceremony was per formed here tonight. It united Major Marion C. Kiser, one of Atlanta’s most prominent and wealty merchants, and Mrs. Sarah Turner Ivey. Thirty-five years ago, Mr. Kiser and Miss Turner were engaged to be married. The wedding day came, the bride and minister were ready, but the groom-elect di.l not appear. Naturally there was no wedding. Since then, Miss Turner married Mr. Ivey, and Major Kiser in the meantime has had two wives. Some months ago Mrs Ivey lost her husband and later Major Kiser’s second wife died. The old love was re newed and now it is Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Kiser. Ocala, Fla.. December 2. — At 2:30 o’clock this afternoon a public meeting of the National Farmers’ Alliance was held in tlie opera house, an audience of about 1200 being present. President Rogers, of the Florida Alliance, presided. Governor Fleming welcomed the delegates, and was followed by John F. Dunn, State Senator and a prominent aspirant for the United States Senatorship to suc ceed Call. President Foulks, of tin South Dakota Alliance also made a short address, in which he predicted victory for the Alliance at the ballot box in 1892, a sentiment which the delegates cheered to th • echo. Al! the speakers of the after noon dwelt forcibly upon the breaking down of sectional lines, and predicted tin general prevalence, within a snort time, o! the ideas embodied m the Alliance plat form adopted at St. Louis. folk’s address. President Polk was introduced by- Rogers and delivered Ins annual address. After a few congratulatory sen tenees, he said: “Profoundly iinptvssei with the magnitude of this great revolu lion for reform, involving issues moment ous and stupeuduous in their character as i a ecling tile present and future welfare of l tiie people, ule puolic mind is naturally directed to this meeting with anxious in terest, if not solicitude, and you cannot he un nindful of the importance and responsibility that attach to your action as representatives, coming from Slates and localities remote from each other and differing widely from each other in their materia! and physiological charac teristics, and marked by those social and political differences which must necessa rilv arise uuder our form of government. It is your gracious privilege, as it shall be your crowning honor, to prove to the world, by your harmonious action and thoroughly fraternal co-operation, that your supreme purpose is to meet the de mands of a patriotic duty in a spirit of equity and justice.” l’lie address congratulated the Alliance on its achievements since the last meeting and then reviewed the causes of the agri cultural depression. The president de clared that this depression is an anomaly to the student of industrial progress. “Retrogression in American agriculture,' he said, "means national decay, and pow erful and promising as is this young, grand Republic, yet its power and glory tout'll not the degradation of the far mer.” flic alarm incident to the centralization of the money power and the upbuilding of monopolies was then pointed out aud both political parties were condemned for forc ing and encouraging this condition. With reference to extending the order, the president urged that additional organizers be sent at once into Oregon, Washington, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Arizona, and other States. Among his recommeu dations was one that an' organization he formed to be known as the National Leg islature, com osed of the national presi dent and the presidents of all the State Alliances, their duty being to look closely after legislative reform demand by the Alliance, both in State iegislatiou aud in Congress. In his remarks upon the proposed national legislative council, “resident Polk said: “I would suggest that the leg islative council, to be composed of your national president, who shall he ex-offi -io I chairman, and the presidents of all S ate Alliances hold its annual meeting within sixty days after the | adjournment of the supreme couu- i eil at such time and place i as may be indicated by the National Presi- r ' an * | dent; that it he empowered and authorized to appoint such legislative committees as, in its judgment, may he wise, and that it be required to transmit to each of the j States, in printed form, through the Na tional secretary, for distribution to the re- ■ form press, lecturers and ni"inner.-hip of | the order, all measures or hills, together J ! with the arguments in their favor, as they I 1 may decide should he enacted into laws. J I President Polk said that au organiza- j ! tion of this kind would wield a moral | i power which would enforce the respect of j any legislative body to which it mignt ap- j D6<il« THE ALLIANCE IN POLITICS. ! Touching upon the political action of the Alliance, President Polk said: j “While our organization is political, it ; I cannot be partisan or sectional in its ac- ! , tion. In support of this declaration, we proudly poiut to our whole past record i and to the recent popular election, and ' 1 particularly to the iionle and patriotic ! bearing of the brotherhood i.i Kansas and r South Carolina.” I In reviewing the record of the Alliance : during the past year, and especially with reference to legislation demanded by it, the speaker declared that Congress had persistently ignored all Alliance proposi tions and even suppre-s- d a discussion of them, notably in the case ot the measure known as the sub-treasury hill. " Con gress,” he .said, “ must come nearer to the people or the people will get nearer to Congress.” The remainder of the address discussion of financial future financial policy of the Alliance President Polk said that it will de mand the restoration of silver ti all the rights ami qualities of •< legal tender which gold possesses, tin issue of Government currency direct 0 the people, the equalization of taxes, tin prohibition of alien ownership of land, tin ownership and control of trausportatioi; lines by the Government, the limit ol public revenues to an economic admin s (ration by the Government, the graduated taxation of incomes, aud the election oi United States Senators by a direct vote ol the people. \N IMPORTANT DECISION BY WHICH THE STATE RECOVERS FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Atlanta, December 2.—[Special.]— A decision was handed down oy the Su preme Court, tod;-y in the case of Hill A Thompson, receivers, vs. the Western and Vtlantic railroad and the Gate City National hank, of great importance to the creditors of the old Gilizens’ Bank of At lanta.
