Atlanta, December 20.—[Special.]— Atlanta’s court martial today rendered a decision and all parties found guilty. Capt. Snead is exonerated from com plicity with the attempt to obtain the drill program. He is suspended six months for insubordination in publishing a conspicu ous notice for his company to meet under his orders after he had been suspended, pending investigation. Lieutenant Roberts is suspended six months for being implicated in the at tempt to get the drill program. Private Meyers and Private Spilman are perma nently dismissed from the State volunteer troops for attempting, to secure the drill program in Auburn, which had been ar ranged for the interstate drill at the Pied mont Exposition. The findings of the •court martial were approved by Governor Nortlien this morning Advocate-General Candler wrote out at once the orders from Adjutant-General Kell, to Col. Lowndes Calhoun, who will officially notify Capt. Snead and Lieut. Roberts, of the Gate City Guards, that they are ordered suspended, as above noted. The two privates will also be notified of their dismissal. DADEVII.LE NOTES. Dadevtlle, Ala., December 20.—[Spe cial.]—Mr. A. A. Phillips, who stood well in this community, succeeded in getting largely in debt to some of our merchants, and had mortgaged all his property to them, managed to dispose of all his per sonal effects and skipped about the 1st of October last, leaving his family behind. Last Wednesday night he and his family boarded the west-bound passenger train at Jackson’s Gap, aboard of which was Wm. Gray, his largest creditor. On arriving at Goodwater Mr. Gr«y had him arrested. He is now in jail here, awaiting a prelimi nary trial next Saturday. E. W. Heard and family left us last Tuesday for Bowie, Texas. We regret to lose such worthy families from our society. The « ngine, boiler and lumber are here for the Murph Wagon Manufactory. Work will begin as soon as they can be put in place. Prof. Simms, of the High School here, has been confined to his room from jaun dice for several days, but is rapidly im proving. Christmas and the supper at the court house is all the talk now. lester’s recovery doubtful. Atlanta, December 20.—[Special.]— From such meagre reports as reach the city, Attorney-General Lester’s recovery is very doubtful. He first showed evidences of something wrong at the capitol yester- I day. His home is three miles in the coun try, and telegrams of inquiry sent by the Governor and others meet no response. Highest of all in Leavening Power*— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Baking Powder ABSOLUTE Df PURE SPOONER’S WEAK DRiYKL HIS ALLEGED ARGUMENT FOR THE FORCE BILL. INGALLS LEAVES FOR KANSAS, WHERE HE HAS BUSINESS—A GOVERN MENT APPROPRIATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF LYMPH. Washington, December 20.—Senator Sawyer asked unanimous consent for fix ing an eraly day in January for the consideration of the postal telegraph bill. Wolcott objected. Ingalls, at his own request, was granted two weeks’ leave of absence. Platt-introduced a joint resolution ap propriating $100,000 to enable the Presi dent to obtain from the German Govern ment a supply of the remedy discovered by Dr. Koch and the formula for the manu facture of the same. It was laid over. , The morning hour having expired, the presiding officer laid before the Senate the elections bill. Paddock gave notice that after the con sideration of the pending bill, and before it should be concluded, if its debate should be protracted to any great extent, lie would ask the Senate to take up the pure food bill, which was demanded by the farmers from one end of the country to the other. Edmunds demanded the regular order, and the floor was taken by Spooner in a speech in advocacy of the bill. A stranger in the gallery, he said, listening to this debate, withont a knowl edge of the history of the country, would be impressed with the idea that all the love of liberty and devotion to the consti tution, and freedom from partisanship, were to be found on the other side of tha chamber. He hoped that the gentlemen on the other side would not assume that Republican Senators were not equally, with them, lovers of liberty. He took pride in belonging to a party whose his tory had been love of liberty and the defense of liberty. Senators on the other side constantly asserted that they spoke for the Anglo-Saxon race. The Republi can Senators were also Anglo-Saxons, and they would be as unwilling as the Demo cratic Senators to disparage or degrade the race. The gentleman opposing this bill denounced it as clearly unconstiutional, and spoke of their devotion to the constitution. He begged them to re member that devotion to constitution was not confined to the Democratic side. Republicans were denounced as partisans. He begged to suggest that possibly some persons might imagine that the fierceness of the opposition to this bill was attributa ble in part to partisanship. Senators ought to he willing to concede that in the consideration of a measure of this charac ter there was room for an honest difference of opinion, and should not forget that denunciation was not argument, and that epithets never convinced any intelligent mind. This de bate had been characterized by something of rudeness. The committee on privileges and elections had been referred to in lan guage of discourtesy. Almost every Sen ator on the other side had made a harsh and bitter reference to the Sena tor from Massachusetts (Mr. Hoar.) That Senator needed no defense, and, if this were otherwise, he was abundantly able to take care of him self. But he hoped that the Senator would not, think him officious in saying that he had heard the attieks with regret and in dignation. When Massachusetts counted her jewels none would be found richer and brighter than the name and fame of the Senator in charge of this bill. He was the peer of any man who had ever spoken for Massachusetts in this Chamber. Spooner then proceeded to defand John I. Davenport from the attack made upon him, and contended, fortifying his conten tion with documentary evidence, that the Federal election law, instead of being offensive to the Democrats of the North, had been put into operation at their re quest in many instances. Spooner then proceeded to discuss and to defend the de tails of the pending measure, and to reply to * the strictures upon them made by Gray and Daniel. A good deal had been said, Spooner remarked, in connection with what was called “domiciliary visits,” but nothing had been said of the domiciliary visits of night riders at the South, or of the shooting of men and the whipping of women. All the indignation of the Dem ocratic Senators had been directed at domi ciliary visits, involving only a polite in quiry by Federal officials as to who lived in the house, so as to enable him to judge whether the persons voting from that House were legal voters. The committee on privileges and elections had been criticised because it could not esti mate the cost of the enforcement of this hill. It was impossible to make such an estimate, because the committee could not know the extent to which the bill would have to be enforced. But whatever its cost, the people would not higgle over any cost that would secure fair election. It had been said on the other side that the bill was aimed at the South. It was, in part. It was aimed at every spot in the United States where, by fraud or force, men who had a right to vote for members ot Congress were cheated out of that right. The South, he thought, was where the bill was specially needed. In proof of this he read extracts from a speech made by Mr. Christman in the late constitvtional convention of Mississippi, declaring that, since 1875, there had not been a fair election in that State: that, in plain words, the white pei- ple had been stuffing ballot boxes, com mitting perjury, and carrying elections by fraud and violence, until the whole ma chinery of elections was about to rot down. He also read the qualification for voters contained in the new constitution of Mis sissippi, among others being the ability of the voter after January 1892, to read, or to give a reasonable explanation of the meaning of any clause of the constitution of the State. Spooner had his doubts of the ability of some of the Sena tors on the other s.de to understand some clauses of the constitution of the United States. [Laughter.] If the constitution of Mississsppi had stopped at an educa tional test, and excluded from the right of suffrage every man, white or black, who could not read that instrument, nobody would complain of it. But now, the igno rant white voter might have the simpliest clause read to him and be asked if he understood it, and answering “yes,” might be permitted to vote, while an obstruse clause (as to the right of eminent domain, or some legal and technical question) might be read to the colored voter, who would be asked to give a reasonable explanation of it. The scheme was plainly devised to let the ignorant white man vote, if he voted the Demo cratic ticket, and to keep the ignorant black man from voting unless he voted the Democratic ticket, and yet Democratic Senaators railed against the pending bill as giving to the chief supervisor lordly power. What would they say if such a clause as that were put in it? Referring to Stewart’s speech of yesterday and to his remark that the election law could not be enforced in the South, because public opinion would not support it, Spooner remarked: “To that complexion have w r e come at las! ? Have we fallen on a condition in our country that calls for the preservation by law of the purity of the ballot at the North, but that we must stop at. Mason and Dixon's line, because public opinion in the bonth is in favor of a dishonest, and fraudulent, and violent suppression of suffrage? I cannot believe it.” Spooner spoke for over five hours, and his speech was listened to with marked at tention and interest on both sides of the chamber. Ingalls read some extracts from speeches of delegates to the Mississippi convention, and from the editorials of local papers on the subject of the qualification as to abil ity to read or to explain clauses of the con stitution. He affirmed it as his under standing and belief, and as the conviction 01 the great mass of the people of the North, that the constitutional convention of Mississippi had been assembled for the avowed purpose of disfranchising a majority of its citizens, who were also citizens of the United States. It had been assembled for the expressed purpose of minifying, defeating and overthiowing the amend ments to the constitution of the United States, by agreeing to which, Mississippi had secured its re-admission into the Union. Higgins obtained the floor, and, after a brief executive session, the Senate ad journed. IN THE HOUSE. "Washington, December 20. — There was a small attendance of members in'the chamber when the House met this morn ing, and Rogers, of Arkansas, notiDg this fact, objected to the approval of the jour nal. By a yea and nay vote, the journal was approved. Milliken presented a number of confer ence reports on public building bills. In every case the change made in a measure purely verbal in its character, and, though this statement was made by Milliken, Rogers, of Arkansas, insisted upon the reading of each report in full. The reports were all agreed to, but a good deal of time was consumed. The bill passed authori zing a tunnel under the narrows in the New York harbor to connect Middletown, Staten Island, and New Utrecht, Long Island. A motion to adjourn was lost; yeas 64, nays 109. At the expiration of the morning hour, Henderson of Iowa, moved that the House go into committee of the whole for consid eration of the urgent deficiency bill, with the Senate amendment thereto. On a standing vote no quorum appeared, and this point was made by Rogers. The Speaker was unable to count a quorum, and the yeas and nays were ordered. Hen derson’s motion was agreed to—yeas 173, nays 5, Barrows taking the chair. * Henderson moved concurrence in the Senate amendments with one exception. This exception was the amendment pro viding for the payment of Senate session employes, including the clerks to the Sena tors. The committee on appropriations recom mended concurence in the amendment with an amendment striking out the appropria tion for Senators’ clerks, which virtually made them annual employes. At the last session, the Senate had endeavored, in an appropriation bill, to secure a provision making the position of Senators’ clerks an annual one. The House had resisted this, and its resistance had been successful. It was now proposed to do, by indirection, what could not be done by direction. Then followed a political debate, in which little was said about the bill before the House. It lasted for the remainder of the afternoon. At its conclusion, the motion of Hen derson was agreed to, the committee rose, the bill was returned to the Senate for its action, apd the House adjourned. * GOTTLEIB’S GAME. THE BIG SWINDLE ATTEMPTED BY AN AT LANTA MEKCHANT. Atlanta, December 20 —[Special.]— The failure of Julius Gottlieb, who ran four stores here and had branches at Ma rietta, Cartersville, Newnan, Madison and Barnesville, and supplied peddlers with wares, has taken an interesting phase. The deputy sheriff’s are finding goods se creted in the houses of Gottieib’s Decatur street neighbors. Ugly rumors are rife about the doings of those implicated. They are all Russian Jews, and excepting Gottlieb, unsavory in business circles. His credit has heretofore been good. The work of searching for the secreted stock went on until a late hour tonight and will be resumed Monday. Gottleib disap peared Monday last and only put in an appearance today with the expressed de sire of settling the claims at 20 per ct. He was estimated to be worth $70,000, Birmingham’s budget. Birmingham, December 20.—[Special.] Early this morning Policeman . Huffman attempted to arrest a negro burglar in Buzzard Roost. The negro broke loose but Huffman caught him again, and while attempting to search him the negro drew a revolver and shot the officer. The ball penetrated Huffman’s leg, producing a painful though not necessarily fatal wound. The residence of Major C. W. Gossett was damaged $1000 worth by fire last night. Fully insured. At Howard College last night the Phil- omathian Society gave a literary enter tainment and debate. Robert C. Anderson, the retiring train master of the Georgia Pacific railroad, was today called upon by a committee of the employes and presented with a $200 gold watch and chain and charm. He leaves in a few days for Virginia. —Miss Blanche O’Brien and Miss May O’Brien, Mr. Henry McCawley and Mr. John Burrus have kindly offered their as sistance in the cantata of King Winter, to take place at the opera house Tuesday evening. TESTING KOCH’S LYMPH. THE REPORTS OF INTERESTING EX PERIMENTS AT BERLIN. PROMINENCE OF AN .AMERICAN PATIENT. AMERICAN DOCTORS FAVORED. YI8ITING PHYSICIANS COM PLAIN OF THEIR TREATMENT. Berlin, December 20.—[Copyrighted by Associated Press.]—The number of Ameri can doctors who have been waiting here trying to get some of Koch’s lynqh is fast being diminished. Several of them suc ceeded in procuring small supplies for use in their private practice before Koch issued his prohibition limiting the supply of lymph to hospital service. Many have returned without the lymph, but weighted with experience acquired in studying cases. During the present wetk Prof. Gerhardt closed his exhibition of cases to all foreign physicians, excepting some Americans. Prof. Gerhardt has now treated seventy-nine patients, giving two milligrammes of lymph as the first dose, and in some instances only one. Four of these patients, who were suffering from ad vanced phthisis, died. Two left the hospital much improved. The remainder are progressing favorably. Gerhardt ex presses his increasing satisfaction with the results of the remedy, and especially in tuberculosis of the larynx, where the chances of recovery are better than in pul monary phthisis. He confirms Koch’s experience that the remedy is most useful :n the initial stage of the disease. AN AMERICAN TREATED. William Degan. an American who came to Berlin in charge of Dr. Wm. A. Talta- vall, acquired prominence from his being the first American to visit Berlin for treat ment. He received the first injection on Monday last. He is under the treatment of Prof. Ewald. The first dose was only one-half of a milligramme, Prof. Ewald fearing to use any more on account of the weak condition of the patient. A slight reaction set in within eight hours afterwards. The patient’s temperature rose gradually until it reached 100 degrees. It then declined, and within six hours became normal. Larger doses have been injected since. Degan’s cough is easier, and during the night he rests better. There are other symptoms of the amelioration of his condition. Professor Ewald exhibited Degan to a large number of foreign physicians as a typical case of temporary improvement resulting from the treatment, though he expressed doubt as to his ultimate cure, considering his condition. Dr. Paul Gutman, who is treating seventy-five consumptives,presented before the Hufeland Gesellscbafc, four cases that had been absolutely cured of pulmonary phthisis. These cases had been taken at the initial stage of the disease. The dose in these cases had been) raised to five cen- tegrammes. Prof. Leyden reports that of 127 patients suffering from diseases of the lungs treated at the Charity Hospital, the general results are promising. There has been no mishap in any instance. In contrast to Prof. Leyden’s experience, the Cologne Gazette records the death of a patient who was confided to the care of Dr. Libbertz by Koch, and -who received the first injection from Koch. The death of this patient, the Gazette says, can be traced to the injections. Professor Dyden, analyzing his own and other physicians’ experience, admonishes doctors to use the utmost caution in every case, be the patient strong or weak The injections affect the heart strongly,as deaths following injections have been caused by the heart being affected. The Berlin doc tors, apart from those who practice in the hospitals, and those belonging to Koch’s entourage, join the American physicians in their bitter complaint that they caDnot procure lymph. —The Central Railroad of Georgia put on sale yesterday round trip excursion tickets to all points on its line and concec- tions, good from December 20th to 25th inclusive, good to return until January 2, 1891, and from December 29 to December 31 inclusive, good to return until January 5, 1891. The round trip tickets will be sold at 2 cents per mile each way. This will give a great many people an opportu nity to visit friends in adjoining cities at a reduced railroad rate.
