SUMMER SESSIONS
Os the Georgia Legislature Will
Not Do
ACCORDING TO THIS
View of the Matter—it Caused
Much Discassion at the
Capitol.
Special to the Tribune.
Atlanta, Jan. 10. —A correspondent
of the Constitution has discovered that
there is something vitally wrong in the
passage of the bill submitting to the
people the question of holding summer
sessions of the legislature and his card,
which is published this morning, caused
a good deal of comment about the capi
ta). He claims that the act is fatally de
fective and that the legislature in passing
it evidently only considered the question
of changing the sessions from winter to
summer without reflecting upon the se
rious consequences of the change in its
effect on the other branches of the state
government.
In supporting his position he goes
on to state that the election of governor,
state bouse officers and legislature occurs
in October. If the amendment is adopted
the vote for governor and state house
officers could het be counted until the
following July, which would mean a
prolongation of the term of the governor
for eight months, and this be claims
would violate the spirit and the letter of
the constitution, which limits the gover
nor’s eligibility to four years of continu
ous services. He points out also that the
terms of all the judges and solicitors to
ba elected by the legislature would be
prolonged. Then he goes on to show
that if the amendment goes through and
the legislature does not meet until July
there will be no tax act in 1895 until some
time in August, which wouid give only
two or three months in which taxes
could be assessed, returned and collected.
He shows, too, that there is now no ap
propriation act for 1895, aud that the ap
propriation act for that year Cbu'id net be
perfected until August. From January
until August then there would bi no ap
propriation for running the state govern
ment or for the support of the state in
stitutions. Even if the money was in
the treasury the governor would have no
authority to draw any warrants or the
comptroller general to sign checks or the
treasurer to pay the money. The busi
ness of the state government would, he
claims, be thrown into inextricable con
fusion, and every effort to provide by
any device for the payment of the ex
penses of the government would be sur
rounded by difficulties, doubts and un
certainties.
The adoption of the amendment would
make it absolutely necessary for the gov
ernor to oall an extra session of the legis
ture in October, 1894, for the purpose of
counting the vote inaugurating the state
house officers, electing judges an 1 solici
tors general and, passing the appropria
tion and tax acts. He points'out that
this could only be done at a considerable
cost to the state and that it would mean
three sessions of that legislature.
This card has created a good deal of
talk and the position taken by the writer
seems to be uncontrovertable. It is
more than probable therefore that the
amendment by which the time of hold
ing of the legislature as proposed to be
changed will be voted down by the
people.
The writer claims that the legislature
has the authority without a change of
the constitution to make a change in tbe
time of its sessions and that this can be
done in the future very easily.
TWO NEGROES TO FIGHT.
The Trap That was Set for Governor
Mitchell.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 10.—The
snare into which it was hoped that the
governor would be drawn, and which
was said to be set by the Duval Athletic
club does not seem to have worked well.
The proposition was, that a bout be ar
ranged to take place between two ne
groes for a purse of SSOO under terms
exactly like the contest signed by Cor
bett and Mitchell.
The principals to the affair are Berry
Watkins, a negro champion middle
weight, of Florida, and Green Harris,
negro champion middleweight, of Ten
nessee. The purpose of the club is to
test the sincerity of Governor Mitchell’s
opposition to the Corbett-Mitchell mill,
•nd also to get a decision from the courts
as to the law in relation to prize fights
in this state. If the governor and the
authorities of Duval county allow the
negres to meet and slug one another, the
club people say that the executive’s op
position to the proposed Corbet -Mitchell
tight is insincere and is dictated by other
reasons than a desire to preserve the
“peace and dignity of the state.”
If the authorities of the county, acting
under instructions from the governor,
prevent the fight and arrest the negroes,
the club managers say that they will
very likely be able to secure a decision
from the courts as to whether prize
fights are violative of the state law. In
either event the club hopes to boa win
ner. and down the governor.
When questioned in regard to the mill
between the negroes, the club managers
deny that they are promoting tho affair,
bnt in sporting circles it is said that this
denial is only made for a blind, and that
Manager Bowden and others have ar-
THE ROME TRIBUNE.
ratigeu iur tuc uulu ueiweenrne negroes.
Governot Mitchell, however, is watch
ing the course of affairs promptly, and
it is not thought likely that he will al
low himself to be trapped by the scheme.
The governor, in spite of the club’s talk
about bringing pressure to bear on him,
is showing no signs of letting up in his
opposition to the tight. He is warning
the sheriffs of every county in which it
has been rumored that the club would
attempt to bring Corbett and Mitchell
together, to be on the alert to prevent
the contest, and if unable to prevent it
with the forces at their disposal, to call
on him for assistance.
The Duval Athletic club gives out a
statement in which they set forth their
grievances and charge unwarranted and
outrageous conduct on the part of Gov
ernor Mitchell in his treatment of the
club.
The charge is made that, for the pur
pose of bringing the matter into the
courts, and securing a ruling upon the
merits of the case, Corbett and Mitchell
were, at the instance of the club, arrest
ed and brought into court. The prose
cuting attorney requested the presence
of the attorney general that the state
might be properly and satisfactorily rep
resented. To this request Governor
Mitchell replied in such a manner as to
cause the prosecuting attorney to quash
the case. The governor refused to abide
by any decision save that of the supreme
court.
They then offered to let it go before
that tribunal upon a fair statement of
the case, and this, too, they claim, was
rejected. They then say:
There is no fairminded person who will
not agree with us that we Lave done every
thing in our power to have an adjudica
tion by the courts of this case, aud that
there is no other conclusion to be arrived
at, except that Governor Mitchell is afraid
to submit the case to the courts, and we
thereby, in this public manner, throw the
gauntlet at his feet and not only invite,
but dare him to ask the supreme court for
a decision in this case,. His whole attitude
has been that of a bulldozer and will be
until this contest has ended.
Right here, we wish to say to the public
in the most positive terms that, barring
accidents of a providential nature, and if
Corbett and Mitchell appear at the ring
side Jan. 25, 1894, as they have contracted
to do and no doubt will—just so sure will
this contest take place. We assure the
public at large that the sentiment of the
people of the city of Jacksonville and the
state of Florida is in favor of this contest,
and being legally assured that there ex
ists no law in this state against contests of
this kind, we now assure all intending pa
trons of the event and the public in gen
eral that they can come to Jacksonville
secure in the knowledge that they will see
two of the greatest boxers in the world in
'S conft .more than
demonstrate which is th# more seieTit'ihc.
Deadwood Want* the Fight.
Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 10.—The Dead
wood Athletic club has decided to offer
apurse of $5,000 for the Corbett-Mitchell
fight. The club means business, and if
the offer is accepted, will construct a
pavillion to accommodate 12,000 people.
Patsy Carr, Hare Ferguson and Sanj
Schwartz and wealthy Deadwood sports
are backing the club.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE.
The Time Is Not Ripe, S/w* Mr, Cleveland,
to Reconvene,
London, Jan. 10.—A note which the
late Baron Solvyns, recently Belgian
minister to England, sent Nov. 23 to
Lord Rosebery, has just been made pub.
lie. It says the Belgium government
had received a dispatch from the presi
dent of the United States, saying that
he did not feel called upon, under the
circumstances, to ask that a monetary
conference be convoked.
Why It Was Postponed.
Washington, Jan. 10. —The report
from London confirms the statement
telegraphed from Washington in No
vember. The conference adjourned sub
ject to the call of the president of the
United States.. Mr. Cleveland’s deter
mination that the time was not ripe for
farther discussion of the silver question
had the effect of postponing the confer
ence.
TO
A. Doctor's Remains Which Have Been
Kept Out Over a Year.
Macon, Jan. 10.—The remains of the
late Dr. George Marvin will be brought
to Macon from Cordele on Friday and
buried in Rose Hill cemetery. It will
be remembered that Dr, Marvin moved
to Cordele from Atlanta a few years
ago. He was quite' wealthy and was
president of the Cordele bank.
He died about a year ago and left a
beautiful widow and a large fortune.
For a time the widow was unconsolable
with grief. She had the remains of her
husband embalmed twice, once by Un
dertaker Keating, of Macon, and then
by a New Orleans undertaker. The
body was placed in a glass casket. It
was first buried but Mrs. Marvin after
wards had the remains disintered and
placed in a room in her house, where the
body has remained for several months
and until the present day.
Recently Mrs. Marvin married Cash
ier Bivins, of her dead husband’s former
bank. He has been her financial ad
viser since the death of Dr. Marvin.
Mr. and Mrs. Bivins are now in Florida
on a bridal tour. A brother of Cashier
Bivins came to Macon a few days ago
and purchased a lot in the cemetery in
which to bury the body of Dr. Marvin.
Columbus to Reduce Expenses.
Columbus. Ga., Jan. 10.—The finance
committee of the city council is busily
engaged at present getting matters in
shape for the year. It is the general im
pression and opinion that there will be
a considerable reduction of expenses.
Chairman Morgan McMichael is figur
ing earnestly on the actual cost of run
ning tho city government and all its de
partments, and will fix the tax rate ac
cordingly. Mr. McMichael recognizes
that last year was an exceptionally hard
one, and the people are poorly prepared
to bear the burdens of a heavy taxation.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 10.—The governor

lars on G. V. Grtss, penitentiary lessee,
for looseness in camp at the Gress Lum
ber Company.
During the Christmas holidays Captain

ABOUT INCOME TAX.
Senator* Believe That Such a Measure
Will Pa** the Senate.
Atlanta, Jan. 10.—The Atlanta Con
stitution’s Washington correspondent
writes as follows in regard to the income
tax:
“Though Senator Voorhees, after hav
ing for years been a free coinage man,
led the fight in favor of the repeal of the
Sherman law, he will fight for his old
time convictions in favor of an individ
ual income tax, Twenty years ago in
the house he voted against the repeal of
this tax which was then in force. He
declares now emphatically that he will
never lend his influence to increasing
the tax on beer and tobacco, for the
reason that these are the only luxuries
of the working man. He favors a tax
on cigarettes, but less for the purpose of
raising revenue than for sanitary con
siderations. But above all these he is
in favor of an inoome tax, and will
make a gallant fight for the same in the
senate,
“A story has gone out over the coun
try to the effect that 15 Democratic sen
ators are opposed to, and will vote
against, an income tax. These senators
are said to be Messrs. Brice, Caffrey,
Camden, Faulkner, Gibson, Gorman,
Gray, Hill, Lindsay, McPherson, Vilas,
White of California, Smith and
White of Louisiana.' While tho majori
ty of these senators are undoubtedly op
posed to an iticome tax several of them
may not vote against it. It is not cer
tain by any means that either Senator
Hill or Senator Murphy will vote against
an income tax. Nor is it certain that
Senators Faulkner or Lindsay will. In
deed, if it is made a party measure there
may not be more than three or four
bolting Democratic senators.
I have talked with several senators,
who are advocates of an income tax
and they believe that the tax stands a
much better chance of going through the
senate than is generally believed. In
deed, many of the southern senators be
lieve that the senate will pass an income
tax bill.
Thousands of petitions from New York
and eastern cities are being received by
the congressmen and newspaper corre
spondents here. They are all against
the passage of an income tax. Edito
rials from eastern newspapers are being
reprinted and sent out in circular form.
However, not one in a hundred of them
is read.
“Representative Springer, of Illinois,
says he knows from personal experience
that an individual income tax is not un
constiutional. When this form, of tax
was in vogue in this country more than
20 years ago Mr. Springer had quite an
income. He made a test of its constitu
iMMjjtfMMhMUlinois courts by refus
ingground that it was
a direct tax and could only be levied by
the state, The case was appealed and
the supreme court sustained the consti
tutionality of the act at Mi-. Springer’s
expense. Mr, Springer had not only to
pay the tax, but several hundred dollars
cost fees,
BAD BLAZE IN ATLANTA.
Jacobs' Pharmacy Burned—Another Land
mark Has Been Destroyed.
Atlanta, Jan. 10.—The Norcross
building, one of Atlanta’s oldest land
marks, occupied by Dr. Joseph Jacobs’
pharmacy, was half destroyed by fire
at 11 o’clock, p. m.
It narrowly escaped entire destruc
tion. Hidden away in a close corner in
the rear end of the third floor the fire
gained a firm hold upon the building be
fore the firemen could possibly get water
upon it.
For two hours it raged, baffling the
hurried, energetic efforts of the firemen,
but at last they got it under complete
control. But this was not done until
the upper story of the building had been
practically destroyed and the entire
building deluged with water and its con
tents ruined.
Cut Up a Ballet Daucers Tights.
Boston, Jan. 10.—Belle M. Morris, a
New York ballet dancer, had Charles F.
Johnson, steward of a New York hotel,
in court here for threatening to kill her.
She says that when sue refused to return
to New York with Johnson he cut up
all her tights and threatened to kill her.
Judge Hardy sent Johnson back to New
York.
The Mod a* Vivendi Extended.
Ottawa,- Jan. 10.—A dispatch has
been received by the governor general
stating that the imperial government
has entered into an agreement with the
Russian government for an extension
for one year of the modus vivendi, with
respect to Behring Sea seal fisheries, the
understanding being that a like arrange
ment will be made for the exclusion of
United States sealers from the Russian
waters.
CITY CLEANINGS.

Patti sings in Atlanta to-night, and
twenty-five or thirty Romans intend

roads have put on a rate of one fare for
the round trip.
Mme. Marie Tavary I* 111.
The announcement yesterday that the
Marie Tavary Grand Operatic concert
company had stranded in Augusta was
erroneous, though founded on a telegram,
the ambiguity of which was misleading.
It read “unable to leave,” but it failed to
state the cause. It was learned through
a second telegram yesterday that the
cause that held the company in Augusta
is the serious illness of Mme. Marie Ta
vary. She was seized with illness on
Tuesday and could not proceed on her
route. The telegram of yesterday sug
gested that Mme. Tavary might recover
sufficiently to resume on Saturday, but
this, of course, is purely speculative.
Should she recover sufficiently there are
reasons for believing tbe Tavary com
pany will yet be heard in Rome at a date,
not remote, and be heai d in one of its
very best concert end opera programmes.

Jewelry Store Raided.
Chicago, Jan. 10.—Three men stole
between $5,000 and SIO,OOO in money
and jewelry in the Star Loan office here
and escaped.

monds in it and left. When Greenburg
got loose they were out of sight.

TW* Verdict of a Coroner** Jury on a Caso
of Homicide.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 10.—The cor

death of W. B. Buchanan brought in a
verdict charging Ben Stehlin with unin
tentional homicide. The facts were that
Buchanan was following a pretty cour
tesan Monday night, when they met
Stehlin. The girl stopped to talk with
him, when Buchanan interfered. Stehlin
turned and struck him with his fist, once
in the forehead and twice in the stomach.
Buchanan fell over on the pavement and
died. The men had never seen each
other before, and it was evident from
ithe testimony that Stehlin had no desire
to kill the man.
The physicians say the man died from
i cerebral hemmorrhage, caused probably
by the blow, but that such a cause would
not produce such an effect once in a hun
