AN ELEPHANT.
The State Has One on Ita Hands

POLITICAL COQUETTING
Between Clay and Atkinson.
General C. A. Evans at
the Capitol.
Specisl to the Tribune.
Atlanta, N »v. 11. —The news of the
default of the Richmond and Danville on
the Northeastern bonds, has created
quite a sensation at the cap!to 1 .
Telegrams from Athens 1 St night told
of the default and explained the status of
the stve in the matter. The state, it will
be rtmember-'d, is endorser on these
bonds to the extent of $260 000.
Today an Athens delegation came over
to see the governor, and suggests that in
ease the road was taken by the state, as
will probibly be necessary, that Mr.
Rufus H. Reeves, president of the North
eastern Railroad company, be appointed
as the state's agent.
Tse road is from Athens to Lula, and
has been leased to the Richmond and
Danville for a number of years.
The general opinion is that the default
is intentional on the part of the latter
company, it being the desire of the Rich
mond and Danville to get rid of its lease.
If the state takes .charge it will of
course sell the road, and secure itself for
the amount of ita endorsement the state’s
!’?»• being first of all.
An interesting question is what would
the road bring and who would buy it? I
asked the governor this question today,
but be didn’t care to talk, saying that he
has not yet investigated the matter, and
the state’s position will be defined clearly
when the matter comes up in the courts.
The fact of the matter is, that the road,
never very valuable, has depreciated
unquestionably since the Georgia, Caro
lina and Northern tapped its territory,
and in view of the crippled condition of
the roads of Georgia, it will probably
be a pretty hard matter to effect a sale
at this time. AU of which means that
th? state may have an elephant on ita
hands,
Will They Adjnura Early ?
Mr. Grady’s resolution looking for
early adjournment, has created a good
deal of talk, and while the assembly will'
not get through by December 3, it is
probable matters will Both
President Clay and Speaker Atkinson
are anxious this should be done. There
is no trouble at the senate end of the
shop—there never is; and Speaker Atkin
son5 on is working to fix it at his end, so
here will be no responsibility or delay
there. You see an early adjournment
might perhaps cut some figure in the gu
bernatorial race.
Atkinson Will Stick.
Speaking of the govenorsbip recalls the
fact that General Evans is a frequent
caller at the capitol these days and that
a l the politicians who drop in have some
thing to say ea the subject. I bear that
Clay’s friends have abandoned all thought
of Atkinson retiring, though there has
been a strenuous effjrt on their part to
induce him to-do • so. They have told
f’Biil” that (‘Steve’’ was the stronger in
all parts of the state —that Steve could be
elected while he couldn’t. Bill is credu
lous, He has a great deal of faith in his
own fighting powers and he believes this
campaign requires i fi.hter. He will be
in it to the death. Clay is yet doubtful
whether he will ruo, but the chatces are
he will.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
The House Passed on Several Import
ant Matters—The Senate's Work.
Atlanta, Nov. 11. —The following
fiction was taken in the house on matters
of third reading:

of two from the senate and three from
the house to go to the Savannah river
and inspect the obstructions in the Sav

State school commissioner tCT ascertain
Wnat amount was required to pay off
the school teachers, was adopted in the

THE TIDE IS TURNED.
4’lie Election. Have Settled Business Af
fairs—Dan’. Review.
New Yokjc, Nov. 11.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly reyiew of trade says:
The turn of the tide has come. Since
the elections there has lieen a distinct
improvement in business, and particu
larly manufacturing. There is some in
crease in actual transactions, and much
more in the tone of business. Men of all
parties feel that there is cause for great
er confidence, the silver question being
put definitely out of the way, and the
chance of disturbing action in other re
spects being lessened, while the right of
the people to rule their rulers has been
vindicated. While it is yet too early to
look for gyeat changes, there is already
a distinct improvement in the demand
for manufactured prodpcts. .
ROME TRIBUNE
Since the action <sn the silver bill
there has been some increase in the out
put of pig iron and in sales of wpol.
The building trades in several cities have
improved and the failures of the
the latest reported, show lower liaMli
ties: In brief, the recovery which began
when the silver repeal bill passed con
tinues with increased strength. The
output of pig iron, though not half as
large as that of a year ago, is larger
than it was at the beginning of October.
The monthly statement shows 80,070
tons weekly against 73,895 October Ist,
and 171,082 November 1, 1892, and there
is a slight decrease in the stocks of un
sold iron on hand.
The sudden fall,in the price of steel
rails which has been maintained a| $29
for a long time, but is now $22 m the
mills, has brought the quick enlarge
ment of demand which might nave
been anticipated, and in turn the de
mand for ore, coke and pig iron im
proves. Copper improves a little, with
a strong demand, but lead and tin are
slightly weaker, after the speculation
last week.
In boots and shoes the decline in ship
ments, compared with last year, is Only
17 per cent for the week and more of the
shops are active, the long economy in
purchases having i xhausted supplies of
dealers. The first week of November
has passed and thousands of business
men breathe more freely, because the
apprehended failures in dry goods have
been much less numerous and less im
portant than was feared. No doubt it is
true that many concerns have been car
ried over by extension, but even a mod
erate revival of trade will enable most
of them to weather the storm.
A great deal of improvement is seen
in the market for cotton goods with
slightly better prices in print cloths and
some other grades. The sales of wool
for the week have been 3,684,200 pounds
at the three principal markets, against
8,215,000 last year.
The volume of domestic trade, though
smaller that a year ago, shows consider
ably less decrease than appeared in Sep
tember or October, the exchanges at
clearing houses outside of New Ydtk; bal
ing only 17.4 per cent lees than for the
corresponding week last year.
The failures for the week- -past have
been 316 in the United States against 310
for the same week last year, and in
Canada 87 against 26 last year. There
wwe four failures with fiabilities be
tween SIOO,OOO and $200,000 each, and 63
with liabilities between $5,000 and $lO,-
000. The liabilities of failures last w**k
reported show a very encouraging de
crease, amounting to only $8,467,090
against $7,418,000 for the preceding
'week, ana it is noticed' that while the
number of failures does not materially
decline as yet, there are few of import-1

TANGLED LAWS.
Jersey Don't Know Whether
She Has a Legislature.
VERYDAMAGING DECISION.
Governor Werts May Cali a New
Election, and Will Tangle
Matters Worse.
TIUMEMt, Nov. 11. lnquiries are
pouring fiite political headquarters from
all parts of the state as to whether Judge
Depue’s decision declaring the gerry
mander law unconstitutional will have
any effect on the election of assembly -
men in last Tuesday’s election.
According to Judge Depue’s decision,
all the assemblymen elected, except in
the counties of Cape May, Gloucester,
Ocean, Salem, Somerset and Sussex,
have not a legal claim to seats in the as
sembly.
The Democratic politicians, who were
amazed and disheartened by the tidal
wave that swept over the state last Tues
day, giving the Republicans the decided
advantage of a majorrty in the next
legislature, are now advocating that
Governor Werts take advantage of the
law which empowers him to call a spe
cial election when there is a vacancy in
the assembly. They say that if Judge
Depue’s decision makes the election of
last Tuesday for assembly men in these
counties invalid, the only course open to
the governor is to call anew election.
The Republican leaders say that if
Governor Wertz did this, it would only
complicate matters, as there would sure
ly be two sets of assemblymen clamor
oring for seats in the next legislature.

Th* Great Meeting In Atlant* on It*
Third Day-
Atlanta, Nov. 11.—The morning ses
sion of the convention opened at 9 o’clock
the devotional exercises being conducted
by Rev. R. A. Torrey.
After this a duet by Mr. and Mrs.
Lamb, the sweet singers of the conven
tion, delighted the audience.
Several gospel songs were rendered
great force by the audience, and
then the first speaker of the morning,
Mr. P. P. Greenwood, was introduced.
Mr. Greenwood is from Boston, his
subject was the work done among the
seamen there.
Mr. H. P. Beach, of Springfield, Mass.,
spoke of the school for Christian workers,
telling how young men and women were
£ven an education and then were trained
Christain work.
' An address which has created a pro
found impression in the assembly was
that of Dr. Warren A. Candler, presij
dent of Emory college, at Oxford, Ga.
His subject was Christian work in the
south.
He handled the subject in a masterly
manner, showing that there were more
protestant church members in the south
than in any other section on the planet in
proportion to ths ad lit population
There were no heresay trials in the
south, and no strikes, because the masses
and, the classes were nearer together
than in the north.
' He spoke of the colored man, and his
remarks werfi full of humor and pathos.
He said the colored man had a great deal
of religion and he always kept the Sab
bath, he liked to keep it, ana if he could
he’d keep Saturday, too.
” H* thought the colored man’s religion
was genuine, and Some where in this
great city there was an old gray-haired
colored woman who used to nurse him,
and he Mt as sure of meeting her in
heaven as he felt sure of the ultimate
talvation of the world.

Wholesome Advice to Gin burner*.
Athens, Ala., Nov. 11.—The Athens
Courier says editorially:
To the Gin Burners:
Gan tiemen. if such any of you be, and,
if you are, you are in devilish bad com
pany: If you want to raise cotton up to 10
cents a pound, raise more hogs and hom
iny, drink less whisky, raise fewer dogs,
more sheep and less h—ll, and you will ac
complish your ends without destroying
other and better men’s property. This is a
fine prescription, one that is compounded
out of pure, common, everyday sense, and
if applied to your case, will certainly do
good. Try it.

REGULAR BOMBARDMENT.
One of the Regular Torpedo
Boats Sunk by the Fire
From the Fort.
Buenos Ayres, Nov. 11.—The bomb
arding of Rio has been kept up since it
was renewed on Tuesday.
The fort at Nictheroy fired upon and
sunk one of the insurgent Admiral Mel
lo’s torpedo boats.
Nictheroy and Villegagnon have been
much damaged by shells.
Although various explanations have
been made to account for the explosion
of the powder magazine on Governor's
Island, the real cause is wrapped in
mystery. Mello’s guards, unless there
was a traitor among them, would not
have fired it purposely. The bottom falls
out of the story that Peixoto’s men weif
on duty there and, acting under order£
blew it up on seeing the British
land, mistaking them for Mellor’s
because it was an insurgent
The most plausible explanatiflHn
vanced, fortified too by Mello’s
that the government was resposjMHH
that some of Peixoto’s
th* British sailors land on
Island, thought they were a detachment
of Mello’s marines after power and
launched at the magazine a shell j which
by chance slipped inside and ign/ted the
vast store of powder. i
The explosion, was terrific--*n fact,
there was a succession of violent shocks
and every reminder of a furious volcanic
eruption. Tire ground about the harlior
heaved and trembled for hours, while
immense volumes of flame and smoke
shot up into the clouds. The detonation
was hoard for miles.
Great damage was done in the city of
Rio, especially in the way of shattered
doors, windows and skylights.
This magazine was the principal store
house of ammunition for the rebel fleet.
The. loss is felt all the more because four
of its magazines have been blown up
within a we*k.
Late in the afternoon of the same day
theft. was heavy cannonading between
Viljegagnon and the bar forts, lasting
three hours. After darkuiess set in, the
light on the St. John guided the gunners
in aiming the heavy caniam.

OpiniOTnnWaghlncton.
Washington, Nov. 11.—Navy depart
ment officials are not a little exercised
over the reports that Admiral Mello has
resumed the bombardment of Rio.
They are chiefly interested to know if
Mello is violating the compact made
several weeks ago with representatives
of foreign powers, a copy of which was
transmitted lately by. Captain Picking.
It was agreed to by all the naval powers
except Germany at a meeting' held on
the flagship of the French admiral, the
senior naval officer in Rio.
This agreement included Mello’s pledge
not to fire upon the town, Peizoto’s coun
ter pledge to dismount all guns in Rio,
and a promise that if Mello bombarded
the city, without being fired upon by
Peixcto from the city, foreign warships
—except Germany’s—would compel him
to desist.
Special instructions have been sent
since then to Captain Picking. The ad
ministration is very jealous of foreign
interference. •
It is believed at the navy department
that nothing but conviction that his
cause is desperate could induce Mello to
fire upon Rio in face of the protests of
the foreign powers, unless he was pro
voked by Peixoto breaking his pledge.
Honduras Is Heartily Sorry.
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Nov. 11.—
Colonel Villela has been summoned here
by order of the president to give an ac
count of his conduct in demanding the
delivery of Bonilla frotq a Pacific mail
steamer. The government does not sus
tain his action.
The people here are deeply agitated
by the incident. Rumors are circulated
that the United States are about to de
clare war against Honduras, making
Nicaragua their ally.
An official request has been made on
Guatemala and Nicaragua not to allow
renegade Hondurans to conspire on their
territory.

Sticking to Dr, Briggs,
Cleveland, 0., Nov. 11.—Tiir Presby

who compose this conference’'hare taken
a belligerent stand against their more
orthodox brethren. A papsr was
prepared which announces the posi

the issues recently raised by the

elections of Tuesday, and will say that
there shall be no change in the tariff at
this time, I think there will be a res
toration of confidence and business will
go on as it did before the depression
came.
An Arkansas Outlaw Hung.
Little Rock, Nov. 11.—Miller Davis,
white, was hanged at Center Point,
Howard county, for the murder, near
Chapel Hill, Sevier county, October 23,
1892, of Sheriff Callie Dollarside. The
murdered man was somewhat religious
and a fine pistol shot. He had killed
cme man, an escaped convict from Texas,
who resisted arrest, and also wounded
one of the Davis brothers, who was with
the convict, and this is given generally
as the reason why Davis murdered Dol
larside. Davis was convicted on his own
confession mainly.
