SENA TE PASSES THE PROHIBITION BILL; FIRST VICTORY WON BEFORE ASSEMBLY WHEN RESULT Vote of 34 to 7 For the Hardman Law. HON. SEABORN WRIGHT SOUNDS TIMELY WARNING TO FRIENDS OF PROHIBITION I think it well at this time to state that a poll of the house of represen tatives discloses the fact that at least two-thirds of the members of the house favor the prohibition bill. In view of the efforts that I am reliably informed are Being made to in- duoe certain members of the house who favor the bill to pair with its oppo nents or refrain from voting, I desire to state: 1. It takes 92 votes to pass the bill in the house. 2. For any member of the house to refrain from voting is in effect a vote against the blit. 3. For any member of the house to pair with an opponent of the bill is in effect a vote against the bill. A word in conclusion: The enemies of the bill are at work, and every friend of the measure within and without the house should double their ef forts to secure its overwhelming passage. SEABORN WRIGHT. SOUNDS WARNING. FELDER FAILS IN ATTEMPT TO DELAY Seven Senators Only Stick to Anti-Prohibition Standard. By a vote of 34 to 7 the Georgia sen ate Saturday at 11:25 o’clock passed the Hardman prohibition bill. Before a gallery packed to lta ca pacity with' ministers and men and women who had worked and prayed for years, the senate placed Itself on record as favoring complete and sweeping prohibition for Georgia after January 1, 1903. Action came upon the heel of an ef fort of Senator Felder to postpone pas- oHfie measure imhlncxt Tuesday. In that test vote the strength of the advocates of prohibition was clearly shown, as his motion was defeated by a vote of 30 to 11. Senator Felder Immediately moved the previous question, which would * ave placed the bill on Its pasage with- ut an opportunity for amendments to "me up. He was again defeated, and everal amendments were read. An amendment by Senator Dobbs to strike that part of the bill which pro hibited the manufacture of Intoxicants In Georgia was lost. An amendment by Senator Martin revert to the local option law In the ent the prohibition measure should •ver be repealed, was also lost. Amendments requiring that a patient tmm actually be under the care of the physician who furnishes the prescrip tion for alcohol, to allow the sale of pare alcohol to bacteriologists for sci entific purposes and to abolish dispen saries and forbidding agents or officers "f the state from purchasing liquors "ere passed. Then the bill as amended In com' rr.lttee and open senate was passed. How They Voted. Of those who voted against the bill Senator Felder represented the district In which Macon Is the leading city. Senator Gordy Is from Columbus; Sen- ntor Stephens Is from Savannah. It Is rather remarkable that a group of sen- al °r* from one section voted against Mil. They were: H. B. Griffin, of the Twenty-first; T. ” Felder, of the Twenty-second; A. J. Johnson, of the Twenty-third, and crank Gordy, of the Twenty-fourth. Senator Stephens represents the First district; Senator Mattox, the Fourth; Senator Brock, the Forty-fourth. An atmosphere of tense expectancy Pervaded the senate chamber at 10 as President Akin rapped for Even then the gallery' was packed All the warhorses of prohibi tion were there.

NIGHT OF ALARM A T GRADY; BURGLAR AND LIVE CORPSE The Grady Hospital was turnsd top sy-turvy, the nurses were thrown lnt> a consternation of thrror, and the doc tors and porters were transformed Into wild men by the attempt of a burglar to enter the nurses’ home early Sat urday morning, followed by au event even more Interesting and much more horrifying. All was peaceful in the nurses home. The snores of the pretty experts of the bandage floated out In harmony and unison. Suddenly, simultaneously, a wild shriek, beside which an Indian war whoop would resemble a funeral hymn, was heard. It was the clear contralto of Miss Bernice Mears. Re inforcements shortly came from the tenor of Miss Belle Barren. Both are pretty nurses. . .. The form of a man *was seen In the Indow. He was trying to climb In side. As It happened, the nurses had been troubled considerably here of late bv neeplng Toms and burglars, and tho sight of this man climbing In was Just enough to transform the smoldering embers of scare Into a biasing bonfire. The man quickly made his depart- •re The hurses fled in disarray and dishabille, shortly being Joined by fif teen others who were sleeping there. A search followed, but without re sults. About 3 o’clock In the morning a negro filed. He was taken to the morgue by two of the negro porters. An elevator runs to the basement of the nnnex, where the morgue Is. When th elevator came up. the negroes were thrown Into Indescribable alarm by tho prostrate form of a man coming up on the car. They could not understand how corpse could have got on th* elevator. But, brave ns Hons, they pulled the ele- vuter up. When It reached the top, the supposed corpse turned over and sold, "ugh." That waa enough. The porters an expected to return In time for .work Saturday night. It was learned that the man was not dead, but dtad drunk. At the police station, he said hla name was A. W. Prince, and he Is a tool sharpener at the marble works at Ball around. He fell through, the open door of *he morgue and lay on the ele vetor, thinking It was a bsd.

With an empty shotgun across her lap and her bulldog, Dan, by her side, Mrs. Lixsle Sumlin Friday morning seated herself on a cracker box In the center of a piece of property at Holderness and Luclle avenue, the own ershlp of which the disputes'with R. F. O'Shields, and guarded what she termed her rights, threatening to shoot the first man who stepped over tha line. Early In the morning she put to flight W. B. Saunders, a young man In the employ of Mr. O'Shlelds, and two negroes, John Pltterd and John Phil lips, who were preparing to build a fence along what Mr. O'Shlelds claims Is the real line of the property. The strategy of Deputy Sheriff Park, er, of Judge Orr's court, and Mrs. Sum- lln.s- belief that she could right the matter In the courts, resulted at about 11 o'clock In her coml/ig to town with a view to substituting legal methods for those of a shotgun and bulldog. Mrs. 8umlin Explains. "It was this way," explained Mrs. Sumlin to a Georgian reporter Friday morning aa she shifted the gun on her knees and glanced with a keen eye to where Mr. Saunders was working across the street. "This Is my proper ty—40 feet of It. I put that strand of barb wire around It to let them know where the line was. They rnmo over this morning and starred to build a fence. I got my shotgun and dog and came out and told them to got off. If I had let them build that fence then I would have to sue In .-..in’., hot now tlley-ve-got to sue me., \viilch lx bet ter.” For some time there has been trouble about the 40 feet of land. Mr. O’Shlelds states that he has deeds to It and pro posed to build two houses. One on disputed property is already In the course of construction, and Mr. Saun ders was told to start a fence which would Include the contended property. However, when armed with hoes and shovel, Mr. Saunders and the two ne groes went out at 7 o'clock Saturday morning to begin work, Mrs. Sumlin Issued from the house with a gun In one hand and leading the white bulldog by the other. ’’Get Outl” She Said. 'Get out of here. This Is my prop erty! ” she cried. The next Instant the three men were standing In the middle of the road. Mrs. Sumlin Informed them that they were not to return, under penalty of being shat. , "Reckon we had better knock off for a day,” called John Day. a third negro, from a safe distance down the road. Mr. Saunders communicated with his employers In the city and set about other business at an unoffending dis tance from Mrs. Sumlin, who had one of her children bringing out the crack er box. It was a picturesque situation. Mrs. Sumlin with a determined expression on her face remained In the middle of the piece of property. The neighbors came by and offered suggestions about getting u lawyer and other things, but Mrs. Sumlin stayed right where she was for six hours. She talked pleasantly to a Georgian reporter, Informing him of the vicious nature of the hcalthy-looking bull dog. Every now and then she stroked the barrel of the gun. H. M. Sumlin, her husband, walked about the place scout ing, while his wife sat guard. Bailiff Uses Strategy. This lasted until the arrival of Dep uty Sheriff Parker, who, In cltlsena’ clothes and wearing a conciliatory smile, came ddwn (he road, paused and said cheerily: They tell me you are keeping them off.” "Yes,” replied Mrs. Sumlin, some what grimly. Mr. Parker advanced, making a kind of detour and bringing himself up be side Mrs. Sumlin after the manner of a ship. Then the smile faded from his face and he put a strong band on the barrel of the gun. There was a little pulling back and forth, both partlcl pants keeping silence. At length Mrs. Sumlin relinquished the weapon and Immediately Mr. Parker produced a pa per. Then It was found that the gun was empty. While Mrs. Sumlin read the warrant, Mr. Parker kept a sharp eye on the dog, which seemed perfectly peaceful. Mrs. Sumlin consented to go to court, but requested her ion, Joe. to keep trespassers off the lot until her return. Mrs. sumlin appeared before Judge Orr, who put her under bond and set the case for Monday at 10 o'clock. In the meantime all trespassers must keep off her property until the court settles the question of ownership. race“results. BRIGHTON. ■First Race—Com.

TWO ARMY OFFICERS AHHIVEJ MARCH Main Party to Arrive Sun day Night From Chat tanooga. Travel worn nnd sunburned from two weeks spent In a horseback march. Lieutenant Holland Rubottom, of the Tenth cavalry, and Lieutenant Graves, of the Ninth cavalry, who have com pleted the first half of Sherman's fa mous march to the tea, arrived In At lanta Friday morning. The rest of the party, twelve In number, will come In Sunday night. The two young officer# came ahead of their companies In accordance with orders to report elsewhere for duty as soon as possible. They stated that they had enjoyed the trip from Altoona to Atlanta Immensely, and that every where they were shown the greatest courtesy. In going over the battlefields of Sherman’s march, the army officers had to seek the assistance of old Con federate veterans to complete their studies of the situations of tha troops during the cnmpalgn. Everywhere they received the best of treatment and met none of the opposition which greeted Father Sherman last year when he sought to make the march his father had made during the Civil war. The party will leave Monday morn ing, for the offirera ore not equipped for pleasure seeking, merely having their camping clothes. —PARK WOODWARD. But Committee Must Agree to Same Deal.

"If council will otnploy a disinter ested expert hydraulic engineer who knows his business," continued the general manager, "and the engineer, after careful Investigation, says I am wrong In what I did or what I recom mended, I will 'tender my resignation.” The general manager then places one .million, and only one.

Shearer, a cltlien-memi r of the committee, that the general man ager should be requested to resign, this declaration by Colonel Woodward Is of j peculiar Interest and significance. “Let Them Reeign." 'This committee," continued Colonel Woodward, "went out to tho water works and spent the morning there. The committee then camo bock and the next day framed a report supposed to : completely cover the situation, nnd In which the waterworks department Is reflected upon. If I am wrong. I will . resign.
