Legislature Kill* the Game In Which Von Gamtuou Lost Hl* Life. Atlanta, Nov. B.—When the hous. was called to order there was but a lit tle over a quorum present. The many members who had taken advantage to go to their homes Saturday had not re turned and the hull presented a gloomy appearance. In the absence of Speaker Jenkins, Speaker Pro. Tern. Dodson •called the body to order. The most important business trans acted was the passing of the antifoot ball bill by Mr. Cole. The bill came up with a favorable report from the gene ral judiciary committee with an amend ment striking out “games of like char acter” and-passed by a vote of 91 to 8. The bill provides for the prohibition of match oi prize games of football, or games of football where admission fees are charged. Chancellor William E Boggs of the State university wus, by joint resolu tion, invited to address the general assembly at 11:30 a. m. on Thursday, Nov. 11. Mr. Moore of Carroll called up his bill changing the age of exemption from road duty from Id-co 50 to 21 to 50. It was adversely reported by the commit tee on county matters, and Mr. Moore moved to disagree to the report of the committee. On this motion' he ad dressed the house, arguing that on boys between 16 and 21 years of age it •mounted to a heavy per capita tax, and it was against public policy to burden the youth of the state, a large propor tion of whom are poor during those years, when they are seeking to educate •nd fit themselves fur the duties of life Mr. Dodson of Sumter opposed the Sotion in the interest of good roads. e thought the burden a email one, *o heavier than young men of that age should bear. 'Jfte motion to disagree was lost on a vote of 49 to 62. The roll was ca led for new matter •nd a number of bills were introduced, among them the following: By Mr. Charters of Lumpkin, a bill to authorize county school boards to use 25 per cent of the funds in their bauds for the erection of schoolhouses.

A POLICEMAN KILLED Officer Ponder Shot Io An At lanta Saloon. Place Had Been Closed and He Saw Parties in the Place—When Told to Halt They Fired Atlanta, Nov. B.—Policeman Pon» der was shot and instantly killed in L. Steinau’s saloon, opposite the Union dapo', at 9 o’clock tonight. Steinau failed today and the sheriff closed him up. Tonight Officer Pon der was walking by the saloon and no ticed several men inside. On the door was the notice of the failure. Ponder suspected that something was wrong and opened the deor. As he did so he asked the men what business they had in the saloon. They began running towards the rear door and Ponder called to them to halt. The men then opened fire on the officer, and he fell dead with several pistol balls in his body. The men escaped through the rear exit. In a few seconds three thousand people had congregated about the place, and detectives began a search for the murderer but without suceess. A bunch of keys was found on the floor which may prove valuable as sistance in detecting the guilty par ties. Parties interested in the saloon, which was a wholesale house, are sus pected. •mending the act relating to tne ped dling without license by confederate and other veterans.

B.—The Journal and Advertiser prints the following letter from Mayor Hugh Grant concerning Mr. Bryan and the recent New York elections: “The conclusion of Mr. Bryan, that the results of the recent New York elec tion indicate popular dissatisfaction with the policy of the Republican party, is undoubtedly correct. His declaration that they ‘presage the overthrow of the Republican party,’ is not entitled to the same credence as his other conclusions. “I heartily hope that the Republican paity will be overthi. ,/n in 1900, but it is early for any one but an enthusiast like Mr. Bryan to take up his mind with what will happen three years hence. “Most of the George men were en thusiasts, who believed that if a theory to which they subscribed could be put Into operation upon the affairs of life, the condition of life would be made bet ter. Others of them were believers in the 16 to 1 theory, who were led astray by their enthusiasm. All of them—sin gle tax enthusiasts and 16 to 1 enthu siasts—ought to have been Democrats. The latter would have been with us if Mr. Bryan had not deterred them He was sufficiently acquainted with the lo cal situation in New York city in 1896 to talk about it with complete assur ance. He ought to have been able to make himself acquainted with it in 1897. “He did nothing for the local Democ racy this year. The secretary of the Democratic national committee, who is presumably very close to him in sym pathy, repudiated the candidacy of Judge Vau Wyck on the ground that Judge Van Wyck did not stand upou the silver plank of the Chicago plat form, and gave to Mr. George whatever support he had to give, although Mr. George distinctly' repudiated the silver theory. “The trouble with Mr. Bryan and the secretary of the national Democratic committee is that they oannot adapt themselves to changing conditions. They insist upon following certain theo ries and disregarding peculiar condi tions of life,, which must atfeot the in fluence of those theories in the various parts of the country. “We are Democrats, and we insist upon taking things as they are. We would be happy if three years hence Mr. Bryan’s prediction is verified; but I do not take much interest in predica tions that have so long to run. Many things are likely to happen between now and 1900. If they happen as Mr. Bryan thinks they will happ-sn, they will justify hie assumption of the role •f a prophet. If they do not, Mr. Bryau will be grieved. In any event, the Democratic party wifi remain ” ROME, GA„ TUESDAY. KOVjIMBEK 9, 1897. THROWN ON TRIALNOW Slayer of Goldensuppe is Arraigned. MYSTERIOUS GRIME In. Augisti lack, the Woman, Who Lured Victim to Lonely House, OFFENSE CHARGED, AN AIFUL ONE Shot the Man and Dismembered the Corpse. DISPOSED OF REMAINS IN VARIOUS Ways—Full Story of the Heinous ,'Crime. Goldensuppe Had Been Supplanted in Womans Affections By Thorh. —————— New York, Nov. B.—To unravel the ta 'gled skein of one of the most myste lioui as well as heinous crimes of the C’ ntu y is the task set for a jury, the leleociou of which has been begun in nr e ' MARTIN THORN, the Queens county court of oyer and terminer at Long Island Oity. The cause, officially known as the people versus Marti* Thorn, is based upon the discovery in June last in East river and in Ogden’s woods, north of this city, of portions of a human body. The head was missing. By a series of curious links in the chain of circumstantial evidence, the dismembered remains have been identi fied by a number of witnesses as por tions of the body of William Gulden ■uppe, a rubber in a Turkish bathhouse in this city. Goldensuppe had not been at his work for several days before the ghastly discoveries of his supposed re mains, nor has he since that time, but it was alleged he was in Germany, though no one appeared to know. The postulate of the identity of the corpse being conceded, the next thing to be done was to look up Guldensuppe’s connections, and from them ascertain a possible motive for his murder. It was easily ascertained that he had lived on terms of intimacy with Mrs. Augusta Nack, a midwife, but that some tune before the di“ •nnearaneg of Grjieu- Wife B WILLIAM GULDEN3UPPE. suppe, tne pair naa quarreiea, ana tna* in the woman’s flat Goldensuppe had fought tfith and beaten the man who bad supplanted him in his mistress’ affections. Martin Thorn, a barber, smarting under the beating he had re ceived, was overheard to threaten to get •ven with Goldensuppe Mutirea For the Marder. Here, then, were motives that might have caused murder—-a woman desirous •f being rid of a diaemrded lover whose proximity might at any moment be come troublesome and the enooMsful r(val who had ouoe experienced the an ■prior übvaicil nrewMs of nis uredeoas- •OTln the worn all’s affections and might again be made to suffer the pain and humiliation of a beating. The arrest of Mrs. Nack was followed a few days later by that ot Thorn, whom the police had some.difficulty in finding, but whose whereabouts were disclosed by John Gotha, another bar ter, and a relative by marriage of the accused man. Gotha has made the statement upou which the police rely to aid in Thorn’s conviction, that Thorn admitted his guilt to him, and since Thorn has been confined two men, who •hared his cell M different times, have told of incriminating admissions by the •censed man. There have also been at intervals re ports that Mrs. Nack had virtually ad tnitted her guilt, but all of these state ments have been more or less conclusive. Dead Body Dismembered. Briefly, it is alleged that Mrs. Nack fared Goldensuppe to a cottage in Woodside, Long Island, where she said •he was about to establish a “baby farm"; that in a room in that cottage Thorn waylaid and shot Goldensuppe. afterwards severing his head, dismem beriug his comae, and disposing of the •■mains in various ways. .

Weller and Assistant Attorney George W. Davidson. William F. Howe and George Moss Will defend Martin Thorn, whose triai will precede that of Mrs. Nack, and Emanuel Friend and W. H. Hirsh will act as counsel for the woman. At the opening of court a list of 200 names of special jurymen were sum moned to appear and then Sheriff Doht was directed to produce the prisoner. Thorn, handcuffed to a deputy sheriff, walked briskly to the table at which his legal advisers were sitting. He was cleanly shaven and showed no signs of . nervousness or apprehension. Both sides were prepared for the trial and as Thorn stood up and the clerk ex plained to him his right to challenge •ny of the jurors summoned, he bent forward, listening to every word. When the clerk had finished the listener in clined his bead slightly and sut down. During the examination of talesmen a faint smile played around Thorn’s mouth and he anp>iired to be one of the most unconcerned persons in the court. WILL SAVE THE WHALERS. Banns* Cutter Bear I* Ordered to Ice bound VeSHeU* Rescue. Washington, Nov. B.—There was a conference at the White House attended by Secretaries Gage, Long and Alger, Commodore Melville and Commander Dickens of the navy and Captain Shoe maker, commander of the revenue ma rine service, to consider measures for the relief of the American whaling fleet said to be destitute and icebound in Behring sea.

Prealdeut of Browu Eulogize* • Henry George In a Speech Providence. Providence, Nov. B.—President E. Benjamin Andrews of Browu univer sity and James A. Hearne, the actor, spoke at a Henry George memorial meeting here. It was the first time the president had spoken in public on po litical matters since he withdrew his resignation as the head of Browu uni versity, which he tendered last June on account of criticism of his attitude on the silver question. His address was one of high eulogy to Henry George, which, he said, he came to pay as a “taxpayer and citizen of Providence.” He characterized George as “the most influential political economist in the world at his death,” and as "certain to exert a great in fluence on the days that are sure to come. ” Dr. Andrews said he thought every thing Georue wrote well worth read ing. He elicited applause when he de clared that in his belief George’s theo ries touching land issues substantially true. The most interesting part of the address was when the president of Browu denounced the present svstem ot taxation as unjust, saying that “if the people knew really how bad it is they w uni rise up and sweep the gov ernment away.” ALL HAVE DEPARTED. Last Party of Smela Refugees Left for Home Sunday Morning. All the fever refugees from Selma have departed this City of Seven Hills with a diffident air, half apology, half a fear that the saffron scourge may yet be lingering in the Alabama city. When the news went forth to the world that Selma had been touched by the terrible plague, a mad rush began out of the city. Romans at first shrank from the idea, of admit ting the refugees, but that feeling soon wore away. For about two weeks this city had as its guests some 150 of the most cul tured and refined people of Selma, but Sunday the last party left for home.

Another cold spell will kill all further infection. Sunday's record showed only 13 new cases, and judging from the looks of things every day’s record from now on will be smaller. It was 10:30 a. tn. before a new case was entered on the board of health books. Two cases came in at one time and strange to say from the extreme ends of the city. Two deaths, which occurred Sunday night, were reported at the same time, making the record two new cases and two deaths, the smallest for the hours since Sept. 24. While the board of health officials do not officially state that the end is in sight, nevertheless they feel safe and unofficially say that it would not sur prise them if not a new case waa re ported after the end of the week. All that is needed to cause yellow jack to bid adieu to New Orleans is another frost, and predictions are that there is one in sight. - ALL ALABAMA IS AROUSING. Removal of the Quarantine Regulations Has Good Ke*ult*. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. B.—Since the quarantine has been raised in the northern part of Alabama, business in terests in almost avary line has im proved over 100 per cent. It is acknowl edged on all sides that all that was needs d was commerce between the sec tions, and as soon as the lines were withdrawn so that the commercial world could go and come as it chose, the conditions improved, and it is believed that in a short while everything will be running as smoothly aa could be de sired. The hotels report trade picking up wonderfully. The railroads which have been able to resume their traffic state that the travel is improving considera bly, while a heavy freight business is now being done to clear the block which was caused by the quarantine. The state of Mississippi is slow in re moving the quarantine against Ala bama That stare has removed rhe ban from Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina and other states, but Alabama is being held on as tightly as Louisiana. It is common talk that Mis sissippi has a prejudice against Ala bama and is showing partiality to other states. FORGER THOMAS IS FREE. Make* III* Second K-ope From the Jail In the City of Mrmphls.
