VOL. VI. NO. 1.884. ON HIS BONO And the State Treasurer Fa vored Them By MAKING LARGE DEPOSITS. Small Sized Sensation Caused by Person’s Bill—The Day In the House. Special to Thb Tribun.. Atlanta, Nov. 16 —The bill intro duced la the senate by Mr. Persons, oon , tains a small sensation, and one in which there is likely to be a good deal of inter est manifested. It is that of requiring k that the state treasurer shall not at any time have on deposit in any state depos itory a sum greater than the bond given by that depository. It seems that the committee which in vestigated the treasury, while finding the monev all right, of course, found that *275 000 was in Capt. Wes. Mu'phy’s b-nk at Columbus, and *175,000 in Speer’s bank at LaGrange. These banks gave only *50,u00 bond each Murphy and Speer are on the treasurer's bond. While there was, of course, noth ing wrong in this, as it was not against the law; but it created talk and Mr. Per son’s bid will go tbrough without any discussion. Work of the House. Mr. Worrill’s police commission bill for Muscogee passed the house. It war amended so as to include marshal and lieutenant, but not those elec ed for 1804. Bill by Mr. Hull, of Merriwether, pro \ viding that soHcitors-general shall name the day they will prove the crime to bav< sen committed upon, and it diff rent from tn at named in th indictment the same shall be good giound for continu ance. Passed. Boynton’s bill repaaling the law re quiring standard weights and measures, was passed. Mr. Freeman, es Troup, had a bill, Which passed, regulating navigation companies and providing how they shall get charters. A railroad bill created some talk. It was that of Mr. Thurmond, of Jackson, and provided that the act requiring rail road companies to settle claims of over, charges be amended by adding attor —nay’s fees and costs. Mr. Cumming wanted the amount specified, but tie house didu’t think so, and passed the (bill as it was. Laws Now.

Plans for reorganization will be prepared and laid before the stock holders, “and,” Mr. Thurber says, “it will be for them to determine what course is the most judicious under the circumstances.

Nov. 10.—The village schoolhouss at Coopersville, two miles north of here, was an old frame struct ure. In it were 19 scholars, in charge of the village teacher. Miss May Portor. Besides the scholars there was little Wil lard Johnson, son of Conrad Johnson. He was too young to go to school and his father had left him in Miss Porter’s care for the day. Outside the door was an ashpile and ; near that a woodshed. Just alter the noon recess Miss Porter noticed smoke at the door, and told one of the boys to see what caused it. The woodshed had caught fire from the ashpile, and when the boy opened the door a mass of flames struck him in the face. The scholars took one look at the door and then ran shriking to Miss Porter’s desk. She ran to the door, but saw es cape by it was impossible. The only way to save the children was to drop them Two of the largest boys leaped out of the window, and to them Miss Porter began handing out the children. As she lifted them up one by one the flames camo nearer, and the room grew black with smoke, which almost stifled her. She could easily have abandoned her pupils and saved her own life, but she stayed. At last all were saved but little Wil lard Johnson. He did not know wh it to do. and ran hither and thither chased by the tongues of fire. Miss Porter started to catch him, but he ran directly into the most fiery part of the room, breathed the flames and dropped. Miss Porter ran to him, but the fire, which was already going through the window from which she had passed 19 children, caught her clothing, and she fell by the side of the child. Melvin Chambers climbed upon the window sill to help his teacher, but was . driven back. He climbed up again and saw Miss Porter rise, with the child in her arms, and take a step forward. A great whirl of fire swept around her, and she fell. Then she made one more as the flames drove the boy back he saw Johnson boy in her arms. The 19 cnildren stood there and saw the schoolhouse reduced to ashes. The district is sparsely settled, and it was some time before aid arrived. When it did there was nothing left but the smoul dering ruins. „ In a few hours the bodies of Miss Por ter and Willard Johnson were found in a yard of where the window was. Both were burned beyond recognition, but the larger held in its twisted and blackened arms the smaller body. A Child lltimed to Death. Atlanta, Nov. 16.—Little Helen, the 5-year-old child of J. H.

After a Week of Labor They Go Home. Toronto Next Year. Atlanta, Nov. 16.—The Christian Workers have adjourned. The great meeting which has held three sessions a day for a week in this city iJnow closed. That there has been great good done nobody will doubt; that the customs and Burrounding, were different, to the envi ronments to which many were used, is equally true, and this fact has led to some misunderstanding of motives, and some feeling has been engendered in 1 some quarters. But these are of minor import, and will soon be forgotten; while the mingling together of so many people, from so many sections —all intent upon the great question of the elevation of the world to a higher plane of Christianity —will result in lasting benefit. As one ot the results of the work of the convention, the Barclay mission, like the Jerry McAuley mission in New York, will now be open every night. Several of the Christian Workers will remain in- the city for several days. I Among this number will be Colonel H. i H. Hadley, who will conduct a revival under the auspices of the Young Men’s Christian association. Major George A. Hilton, of California, will also remain in the city for a week to help the Christian work. Belore adjournment, the convention selected Toronto, Canada, as the next place of meeting; the inayoi and coun sel of that city having extended a cor dial invitation for them to meet there I next year. I Dr. Torrey, the president of the con vention, made the closing address on the I descent of the Holy Spirit. f His address was an unu»t\ally able one, ana arter its conclusion urs cuuiou j tion andjoumed until the evening sessSun.

GOLD, NOT GLORY, Was the Inspiration That Brought on the Recent Cuban Insurrection. Key West, Fla., Nov. 16.—Evidence accumulates that the so-called Cuban revolution was a put up job, instigated by the Spanish authorities themselves. The late Gartorous brothers affair was undoubtedly of official origin, and it seems that the Cuban chiefs in this case, as in that, have been misled. The person who arrived here and brought the first news undoubtedly mis represented everything for the purpose of drawing out Cuban chiefs and learn ing their strength. The movement will certainly delay the real insurrection, which, when it comes, will mean something. The Span ish authorities know this, and bogus in surrection is one of their schemes for thwarting it. Peace will probably reign now until the Spanish authorities at Cuba hire a few men in the interior to make another demonstration. They will suppress it, and thus achieve credit at Madrid. The great feat of crushing these so called revolutions, insurrections and ex peditions ol the last few years has added many a laurel wreath to Spanish com manders temporarily in charge of Cuban affairs. Unfortunately, many good men and patriots have been inveigled into the outbreak, and when the revolution was put down they have been garroted or shot, and the paid originators,of the scheme let off with a heavy fine that was always remitted, and a purse, when the doors were opened to them. There has been method, however, in the work of the officials. They have been kept informed as to the plans of the patriots here, in New York, Jamaica and other places, and always just before the chiefs were ready to strike a blow that might possibly mean something, these paid revolutions have been started, and hence it is that, as in this case, even the best informed of the honest patriotic chiefs were misled. This kind of treason has been the curse of Cuban patriots, for even the first and great revolution, fought with unparal leled bravery, was put down, not with Spanish prowess, but with gold. In the uprising <Jf Nov. 4, about 50 Cubans were led by Cardozo, Esquerro and Quesodo. They were attacked by the civil guard on the sth and two killed, while 80 surrendered, including Cardozo. The rest fled. It is believed that the real patriots es caped. A telegram to the Spanish consul here says everything has been quiet for a week in Cuba. FOUGHT THE JAILER’S WIFE Mrs. Halliday Is Dangerous Whether She Is Crazy or Not, Monticello, N. Y., Nov. 16.—When Mrs. Beecher, the sheriff’s wife, entered • Mrs. Halliday’s cell with breakfast for, the prisoner, she was immediately i pounced upon by the woman in a fit of real or assumed insanity, and nearly choked to death. Mrs. Beecher’s screams brought her husband to her assistance, otherwise it is believed she would have been killed. Mrs. Halliday sprang upon her victim 1 with the agility and ferocity of a tiger, and displayed strength that few women are possessed of. I It was with difficulty that the sheriff and his assistants loosed her hold. After they had accomplished it, however, and placed her upon a couch she grew calmer, but when food was given to her she dumped it into her lap and sit mut tering incoherently.

Salter stated that he did not know the rifle was cocked. No coroner’s in quest was held, as her death was caused by accident and the act of her brother was simply carelessness.

When the convention adjourns after this meeting it will be without day.

Mr. Powderly in an interview indig nantly denies the charge. The convention will not set a time for meeting again, because of an agreement made with the American Federation of Labor and other organizations.
