WATSON OUT IN THE COLD.
The House Throws Out His Claim for
Black’s Seat.
Lase Pence Tries to Steer the Claim of
' Hi* Fellow Populist Through in the
i Absence of Representative Lawson
and Makes a Failure—The Proceed
, ings Prove Rather Humorous.
' Washington, June 29.—Maj. Black was
seated by the House to-day, and Tom
' Watson’s claims thrown out by an almost
unanimous vote. It would have hurt the
ex-representative's pride could he have
, seen his support dwindle to one man. Tom
Watson wanted to make a stump speech
before congress, and would have been al
lowed to do so had he adopted the means
usually becoming a member of congress.
The committee on elections unanimously
decided the case, after hearing all the
evidence in favor of Maj. Black. Judge
Lawson reported the case to the House
and it was his privilege to
call it up. He heard that
Mr. Watson wanted to speak in his own
behalf and allowed the case to hang up.
At 11 o’clock this morning Mr. Lawson
loft for Georgia.
Lase Pence, the populist member from
Colorado, who has had charge of Mr.
Watson’s case in secret, as soon as he
found out that Mr. Lawson had left
Washington, called up the case. He then
made a speech for Mr. Watson and asked
that the consideration of the case be post
poned until a later day, as Mr. Watson
wanted to make a speech from the floor.
The House made a flank movement
on Mr. Pence’s scheme and refused
to grant the request. Mr. Pence bungled
up the whole affair in truly populist style,
and was squelched by the House for his
meddling with the election committee’s
affairs.
Mr. Pence then began to filibuster, and
Mr. Reed aided him with his advice.
These tactics lasted about two hours.
When the vote was taken Mr. Pence
called for an aye and nay vote, but after
the consultation with the populists he
decided to save Mr. Watson the chagrin
which would come with a count and with
drew the demand. Had the ayes and
nays been taken Watson would not have
received six votes in all.
DETAILS OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
By the Southern Associated Press.
Washington, June 29.—A letter was re
ceived from Secretary Gresham, inform
ing the House, through Speaker Crisp,
that a religious service in memory of the
late President Carnot of the French re
public would be held on Sunday next at
12 o’clock.
Mr. Pence called up the contested elec
tion case of Thomas E. Watson vs. J. C. C.
Black, from the Tenth Georgia district
Mr. Brown, dem., of Indiana, member
of the committee on elections, raised the
question of consideration, no quorum ap
pearing, and on a division the yeas and
nays were ordered. While the call was
in progress it seemed to be decided that
consideration of the report was the quick
est way to dispose of the question and
there were no negative votes recorded.
Mr. Pence called the attention of the
» House to the fact that the populists were
given no representation on the committee
on elections when the Hccise was organ
ized, although there were contests pend
ing, instituted by defeated pbpulist can
didates, and when Chairman O’Ferrall
retired from the committee a request was
made of the speaker to flill the vacancy
with a populist, but that was denied
them. Although the report in the
case is in favor of the sitting
member, Mr. Black, Mr. Pence said there
was a belief on the part of some members
of the House that Mr. Watson was
elected. He desired to ask unanimous
consent that when the case was consid
ered that Mr. Watson be permitted to ad
dress the House tn his own behalf for an
hour.
A PRECEDENT FOR THE REQUEST.
Such requests had been frequently
made and always granted, Mr. Pence
said he had been informed by old mem
bers, and he had investigated the record
so far as to discover that irf the contested
election case of Thobe. vs Carlisle, in the
Fiftieth congress, the present occupant of
the chair (Mr. Crisp) being chairman of
the committee on elections, made the
same request in behalf of Mr. Thobe and
it was granted.
Mr. Pence moved that the case be post
poned until Monday at 2 o’clock, and
pending that motion, moved that when
the House adjourn to-day it be until Mon
day next.
This latter motion was lost by a vote of
65 to 96. The yeas and nays were called
on the motion to postpone, the democrats
opposing and the republicans and popu
lists favoring it. The vote resulted—
yeas 76, nays 126; present and nut voting,
8. Messrs. Bryan, of Connecticut, Cum
mings, Dunn, Harris, Latimer, Mc-
Laurin. Ryan and Warner, democrats
voted to postpone.
BROWN’S OBJECTION.
Mr. Brown said that the case having
been unanimously reported from the
committee, that at every step Mr. Wat
son had been afforded an opportunity to
be heard, that in view of the unprece
dented course of a third party in the
matter, he thought it proper and due to
the House that the case should be at
once disposed of. He therefore moved
the previous question on the resolution
reported by the committee on elections.
Mr. Pence asked Mr. Brown to with
draw the motion for the previous ques
tion until he could be heard, inasmuch as
he (Brown) had alluded to his (Pence’s)
course in the matter.
Mr. Brown—l cannot yield, Mr.
Speaker.
Mr. Cannon, rep., of Illinois, in an effort
to mollify Mr. Brown—Oh, well, now in
fair play.
Mr. Brown—Neither can I yield to the
member from Illinois.
PENCE TURNS OBSTUCTIONIST.
The speaker was about to put the mo
tion for the previous question when Mr.
Pence intervened with a motion to ad
gurn. The motion was lost by a vote of
to 75.
Mr. Pence then moved that when the
House adjourn it be until Tuesday next
at 2 o’clock—yeas 14, nays 68.
“No quorum,’’ suggested Mr. Pence,
and tellers were ordered. Through them
the vote was announced to be yeas 2, nays
118.
Mr. Brown thereupon demanded the
yeas and nays.
Previous to this. Speaker Crisp had
surrendered the chair to Mr. Richardson
of Tennessee and retired, it was pre
sumed. with the other members of the
committee on rules, to prepare au order
for the disposition of the case. That this
was the case was confirmed after the
vote on Mr. Pence's motion had been an
nounced—yeas 54, nays 141; present and
not voting, 7.
AN ORDER FROM THE COMMITTEE.
Mr. Outhwaite presented an order di
recting that immediately on its adoption
the previous question should be consid
ered, ordered on the resolution in the
contested election case of Watson vs.
Black, from the Tenth district of Geor
gia, and that the vote be taken without
intervening motion.
No quorum voted on Mr. Outwaite’s
demand for the previous question on the
order and the yeas and nays were or
dered, resulting—yeas 140, nays 41; pres
ent and not voting, 6. So the previous
question was ordered.
In the discussion that fbllowed, Mr.
Brown said that Mr. Watson had never
manifested so much interest in the case
as would suffice to bring him before the
committee at any time. The only thing
he had done was to send a bill of $2,000
for expenses to the committe which the
House had voted to pay. The responsi
bility sot this case being before the
House at this time, which Mr. Lacey and
Mr. Pence seemed so deeply, to deplore,
was due entirely to the action of the lat
ter for the avowed purpose of giving
Mr. Watson an opportunity to be heard
in the House. “In view of what has oc
curred,” asked Mr. Brown, ‘ what war
rant is there for believing that Mr. Wat
son wants to be heard?”
THE REAL PURPOSE.
The real purpose of Mr. Pence, Mr.
Brown said, in bringing up the case now
was to enable the populists to circulate,
as part of the congressional proceedings,
charges against the democrats in the
Georgia campaign [Laughter and ap
plause on the republican side.] The order
was then agreed to—yeas 121. nays 54;
present, and not voting, 10. Several re
publicans, including the members of the
committees on elections, voted witq the
democrats on this question. The resolu
tion of the committee on elections, de
claring Mr. Watson not elected, and Mr.
Black entitled to his seat, was then
agreed to by a vote of 106 to 10.
And then, at 4 :40 o’vlock, the House took
a recess, under the rules, until 8 o’clock
p. m.
THE NIGHT SESSION.
Less than four score members braved
the heat and discomforts of an evening
session. After a few bills had been
passed over without action, a bill to in
crease the pension of Thomas Corrigan
from S3O to SSO a month was reached. On
a motion to lay it aside with a favorable
report the ayes were 23, noes 29.
Mr. Hull, rep., of lowa, made the point
of no quorum. The roll was called and
seventy-one members answered to their
names.
After an hour spent in filibustering
the House, at 9:26 o’clock, adjourned.
INSULATION OF THB RALEIGH.
The Men Working on Her Bottom
Formed the Connection.
Washington, June 29.—The curious
electrical phenomenon at the Norfolk
navy yard last week, when two men were
killed and a number of others stunned,
continues to excite great interest among
naval officials, and it is likely that modifi
cation of the regulations in relation to
docking ships will be made as a result,
pending an investigation. It is now con
ceded that a question of considerable
gravity has arisen and that precautions
should hereafter be takena to insure
thorough “grounding” of metal warships
when under repairs on land. From re
ports from the officers of the Raleigh
there is no doubt that the vessel,
which rested on dry blocks above the
shallow water in the dock, was insulated
and that her 8,000 tons of steel consti
tuted the most enormous electrical con
denser ever known. Men working on her
buttom formed the connection with the
earth and the great electrical force
stored in the vessel was readily
conducted through their bodies where
they stood on the wet dock’s floor and
touched her. The commander of the ves
sel says three distinct shocks were felt.
The ship’s surgeon made ineffectual efforts
to resuscitate the injured men, but one
had been instantly killed and the other
lingered only a few hours.
SLAIN BY A CONDUCTOR.
Col. H. C. Parsons Shot Down at
Clifton Forge.
Clifton Forge, Va., June 29.—C01. H. C.
Parsons was shot in the lobby of Glady’s
Inn this morning at 7 o’clock. The shoot
ing was done by Thomas A. Goodman, a
passenger oonductor on the Richmond and
Allegheny railroad. He never spoke after
being shot, and died at 6:25 o’clock.
Four balls from a double-action Smith
& Wesson pistol, 38-caliber, entered the
body. One ball entered just under the
right collar bone, one on the right and one
on the left side of the abdomen and one
on the left side of the head, at the union
of the frontal and parietal bones. He
lived one hour and fifteen minutes after
being shot, but never spoke. Dr. W. A.
F. Miller, a railway surgeon, was sum
moned but could render no aid.
After discharging his pistol, Conductor
Goodman went before W. W. Davis,
mayor of Clifton Forge, and gave himself
up and his pistol, remarking that when
the public had become informed with all
the circumstances connected with the af
fair he would be justified by them for the
killing.
He wired a message to Col. Beverly
Crump, of Richmond, his attorney, direct
ing him to procure and take charge of a
certain important letter bearing upon the
case, which, it is alleged, Col. Parsons
had written to General Manager Stevens,
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
seriously reflecting upon his official con
duct and character.
SEIZED BY A SHARK.
A Gentleman of St. Augustine Has a
Narrow Escape From Death.
St. Augustine, Fla., June 28.—A shark
attacked Erskine H. Reynolds, secretary
of the Improvement Company, while he
was bathiqg on Anastasia beach this
afternoon with th© Presbyterian surf
party, seizing him by the calf of the right
leg while Reynolds stood breast deep in
the surf. Being a good swim
mer he saved himself from being
carried away. The shark left
eight teeth cuts in the upper part of the
caif and nine cuts lower down, the
cuts being at right angle to the bone
and reaching from under the knee to near
the ankle. Had the shark caught hold the
other way Mr. Reynolds would have been
lost. Sharks are plentiful, but this is the
first attack on bathers that ha* occurred
here.
MUSTN’T HOLD UP THE MAILS.
The United States Authorities Ready

Washington, June 29.—Attorney Gen
eral Olney this morning confirmed the
Chicago disDatches that he bad instructed
u e H n ’ ted States marshals not to permit'
the United States mails conveyed in the
usual ordinary way to be obstructed. The
district attorney, he said, would proceed
under these instructions as he deemed
best. Several means were at his dis
posal, wh.Yh he no doubt would utilize, if.
upon evidence, he found that strikers
were interfering with the transit of
United States mails.
FIRE AT OFFEBMAN.

Offerman, Ga., June 29.—During a gust

cupied by Mr. Warwick caught on fire

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894.
WALSH ENTERS THE RACE.
Georgia’s Junior Senator Wants to
Go Back for the Next Term.
He Makes Formal Announcement of
His Candidacy—He Says His Ap
pointment by the Governor Makes
It Natural That He Should Desire
the Indorsement of a Regular Elec
tion.
Washington. June 29.—Senator Walsh
has decided to stand for the long term.
It has been generally understood for some
time that he would ask for the long term;
indeed the position he has taken in the
Senate seemed to lead him logically to it.
It is said here that Gov. Northen was
among those who urged him to make the
race. Senator Walsh refuses to make
any statement beyond that in his official
announcement to the people of Georgia.
He said to-night that he would not leave
Washington until congress adjourned,
and then he would begin his campaign.
After was made known here Senator
Walsh was warmly congratulated by his
friends in the Senate upon his intention
to make the race. Though one of the new
men in the Senate, there are few who
have made more personal friends than
Senator Walsh and his ability to do good
to his section is shown in the fact that
when he rises to talk he has the undivided
attention of his confreres.
THE FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The following is Senator Walsh’s an
nouncement of his candidacy for election
for the term beginning March next:
United States Senate, Washington, June
29,1894. —To the People of Georgia: Having
been appointed oy Gov. W. J. Northen to till
the vacancy in the Senate caused by the
death of the beloved and lamented Hon. Al
fred H. Colquitt. I announce myself as a can
didate for United States senator for the term
beginning March 4. 1895.
I have lived and labored in Georgia for a
third of a century. During all that period my
highest ambition has been to promote the
honor and welfare of the people. Being
deemed worthy by the governor of the state
to fill the position of senator, I naturally de
sire to suc.eed myself. Until the office was
conferred upon me I had no idea of political
preferment, content to labor in my vocation
and make myself useful in my day and gen
eration in promoting lhe public weal, but
being here through no self-seeking,
and with no thought of personal gain, lam
earnestly desirous of having the legislature
confirm the appointment made by Gov.
Northen.
STANDS BY HIS PARTY.
The principles and policies of the Demo
cratic party contained in the state and na
tional platforms, and the measures advocated
therein, have received my cordial support.
My views on the tariff, the income tax, the
free coinage of silver and the repeal of the 10
tier cent, tax on state bank notes are set
forth at length in a speech delivered tn the
Senate on the 28th of May. My votes in the
Senate attest that my practices are consis
tent with my professions.
Should the legislature honor me with the
high trust, 1 would devote my best energies
to an Intelligent and faithful discharge of the
responsible duties of the office.
Familiar with the remedial legislation
necessary for the emancipation of Georgia
and the south from the oppressive and par
tisan measures of the past twenty-five years,
I would devote every effort of my official life
to remove from the statutes the laws that op
press and despoil the producing classes from
the just rewards of their honest toil.
Knowing and appreciating the great na
tural advantages and unrivaled resources of
Georgia and -he south for di versified agricul
ture and manufactures, and convinced that
the time is at hand for the inauguration of
measures looking to the development of the
industrial south. I would spare no effort to
build up my state on the substantial lines of
industrial progress.
Standing near the end of the nineteenth
century, which 4s crowned with the most
wonderful achievements of human progress
ih the applied sciences and mechanics artsf, it
requires no prophetic vision to see that the
south is the most inviting field for invest
ment and development.
GEORGIA AT THE HEAD.
Georgia deservedly stands at the head of
her southern sisters. She should be the first,
to feel the Impulse of this growth because of
her varied products and because of her
wealth of raw materials, herhealthfukclimate
and abundant water power. Her wisdom,
justice and moderation exemplify her con
duct in relation to all interests, classes and
conditions of society.
With the reform of the tariff, the demoneti
zation of silver and the right of the states re
stored to manage and control the issues of
state banks—measures td which the Demo
cratic party is irrevocably committed—an era
of prosperity will be inaugurated in Georgia
and the south the like of which has never been
witnessed in any other section of the union.
For the accomplishment of this patriotic pur
pose it will be conceded that the United
States Senate affords the supreme vantage
ground: but whether m or out of office, to
this task my lite and labors are committed.
Cherishing and revering the heroic past,
and appreciating the blessings of a reunited
country, I would not discount the achieve
ments of the future, for I believe that the day
is not distant when the Democratic party wiil
redeem all Its pledges and keep faith with
the people of the union who have placed it In
power.
THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH.
In the triumph of this great party rests the
hopes of the south and the preservation of
the rights and liberties of the American
people. Great as is the honor of being a
member of the United states senate, I would
not accept the office merely for the sake of
the distinction. As a position for usefulness
in promoting the welfare of Georgia and in
securing relief for the people from oppressive
legislation and the exactions of unjust and
burdensome taxation, a seat in the Senate
affords an opportunity for tne exercise of the
highest wisdom and the most exalted
patriotism.
Should Ibe deemed worthy of this office by
the people and legislature of Georgia I would
consecrate every faculty of my mind and
body to the service of my state and country.
Your obedient servant,
, Patrick Walsh.
NO MORE BONDS.
Cleveland and Carlisle in Harmony
on the Financial Policy.
Washington, June 29.—A statement
was made to-day from an authoritative
source that no issue of bonds will be
made by the administration during the
summer, tnat President and Secretary
Carlisle are in through accord on the
financial policy of the treasury, and that
an end to gold exports to Europe is be
lieved to be about reached. The adminis
tration expects the new tariff bill to go
into effect Aug. 1. and after that date
increased revenues are looked for. Dur
ing July the expenditures will probably
exceed the receipts by $15,000,000. which
will reduce the available treasury
balance to about $100,000,000. The
present outlook is that by deferring every
thing but absolutely essential payments
the treasury deficit for the current fiscal
year, which closes Saturday, June 30, will
be brought within $75,000,000. Less than
ten days ago it was estimated that it
would reach $78,000,000.
MILLER FOR RUSSELL.
The County Had Been Expected to
Declare for Guerry.
Bainbridge, Ga., June 29.—Yesterday’s
primary election in Miller county resulted
in an overwhelmiag victory for* Hon. Ben
E. Russell, the present congressman from
the Second district, who is a candidate
for re-election. His majority is more
than 250 over his opponent. J. H. Guerry.
This is regarded as a great victory for
Mr. Russell for the reason that Miller
county is in the judicial circuit over which
Judge Guerry presided for a number of
years and was conceded to him. Almost
the entire democratic vote of the county
was polled, and this'expression cos confi
dence and approval of Mr. Russell’s
course in congress by the people of Miller
county #s very gratifying to Mr. Russell's
friends here.
C. C. Bush was nominated for the Sen
ate. and P. E. Wilkins was nominated for
the legislature.

BROKERS ON THE RACK.
The Jury Them Instead
of the Correspondents. '
Washington, June 29.—The grand jury
this afternoon brought into court indict
ments against Elberton R. Chapman, a
broker of New York, and John W. Mac
artney, a broker of this city, two of the
witnesses who refused to answer the
questions of the Senate committee. Some
comment was caused by the failure to
return any indictments against the
newspaper men, Messrs. Shriver and Ed
wards, who were the first witnesses cer
tified by the Vice President to the grand
jury, but it is understood that the gov
ernment expects to make the cases of the
brokers test cases, believing it has a
better chance for their successful pros
ecution than it would have in the cases
of the newspaper men.

Atlanta, Ga., June 29.—Prof. J. Kil
patrick, who is a native of Greene county,
Georgia, son of President Kilpatrick of the
Georgia Baptist Association and a nephew
of the president of the board of trustees
of Mercer University, was principal of
the public schools of the town of Eufaula,
Ala., up to yesterday/ having held that
responsible position for a number of
years.
Miss Lizzie Hyde, an- attractive young
woman of 20, was Prof. Kilpatrick’s as
sistant in the management of ’’he Eufaula
schools up to yesterday, when both were
unceremoniously dismissed by the board
of education. ( Prof. Kilpatrick has a
wife and four little children in Eufaula,
but in view of his adventures in Atlanta
with Miss Hyde this week, the board
concluded that there was something
wrong with his moral character.

During the latter part of last week
Prof. Kilpatrick and Miss Hyde left Eu
faula together for Atlanta to attend the
Chautauqua assembly, now in session
here, they announced to their friends. It
appears, however, that the professor at
least was out for a frolic. He took too
much toddy soon after leaving Eufaula
and soon his conduct toward his pretty
companion was such that passen
gers interfered. The conductor wired to
Atlanta detectives, and when the pair
disembarked here they were shadowed.
When the professor and Miss Hyde ap
proached a notorious neighborhood he
was promptly arrested and locked up,
while his companion was sent to a hotel.
Upon Miss Hyde's statements in court
the following day he was discharged. To
avoid any Injustice to the young lady her
name was kept out of the papers.
HAD TO CHANGE BOARDING HOUSES.
After a couple of days, however, the
pair had to change boarding houses, and
then the Eufaula board of education
created a sensation by dismissing both on
an ex-parte showing. This opened the
eyes of Miss Hyde’s father, who is a
highly respected citizen, and he at once
came to Atlanta to take his daughter
back home. He found her last night with
the aid of detectives in company
with the gay professor. There was
a scene in which the detective
took part to prevent the angry
father from making a violent attack, but
in the end the infatuated daughter clung
to the professor and the professor still
clings to her in spite of the wife and chil
dren left behind in Eufaula. Professor
Kilpatrick and Miss Hyde claim that they
are simply attending the Chautauqua to
gether, but the evidences of a mutual in
fatuation that looks like •an intended
elopment with sensational features is
strong against them.

A FIGHT ON ATKINSON.
A Handful of His Opponents at At
lanta to Support Hines.
Atlanta. Ga., June 29.—An anti-Atkin
son movement has been started in the
city among democrats who would have
supported Gen. Evans if he had been nom
inated, but who are resolved to carry out
their threats made during the progress of
the campaign that they would support
Judge Hines in preference to Nir. Atkin
son. In response to a call for j meeting
of these dissatisfied ones about forty got
together in the hall of the Knights of
Draco last night and organized under the
name of the Atlanta Hines Campaign
Club. Col. J. N. Bateman, a well
known lawyer of the firm of Hulsey
& Bateman until very recently, was made
president of the club and will take an
active part in trying to carry Fulton
county for Judge Hines. Col. Bateman
has always been regarded as a sound
democrat, and was a strong Evans man.
. Last night’s meeting was held quietly,
and not much has been said about it to
day. but those who took part in
it made no attempt at secrecy
when asked about it, though their
idea was to make a silent fight of it. This
organized movement against Mr. Atkin
son may serve to stir up strife, but those
who take a conservative view of the sit
uation feel that Atlanta will bo true to
tbe party and give Mr. Atkinson a good
majority.

road Issue.
Callahan, Fla., June 29.—The demo
crats of Nassau county held their county
convention at this place to-day for the
purpose of electing delegates to the state
convention, which meets in Jacksonville
next month, and also to the congressional
convention at Palatka, and an executive
committee for the county. The fact that
there were two factions, both very en
thusiastic as well as obstinate, created
considerable excitement at times.
The convention assembled at 11 o’clock
and proceeded to elect the chairman. W.
N. Thompson was put forward by the rail
road faction, and Jerry Googe by the anti
railroaders. A vpte was taken and
resulted 32 to 29 in favor of Googe. Six
precincts were contested.
At 12:30 o’clock the railroad faction
withdrew because the convention would
not alllow each delegation to name its
own metribers of the credentials commit
tee. They were led by W. N. Thompson
and convened in a room over Mickler’s
store. They indorsed Cooper for congress.

which became so heavy that the horses
could scarcely be distinguished in the
last race, and no time was taken.

nearly 100 horses being down on the card,
but they were as a general rule a poor

the fields being so large that it was well
nigh Impossible to handle them.
The track wks in fine shape, and the
attendance was surprisingly large for a

Jockey, Cox, narrowly escaped injury, a
number of the horses going over him.
Prim arose and finished the race rider
less.

vorite, tripped and sent his rider, Griffin,
heavily to the ground. The jockey, how
ever, sustained nothing worse *han a
severe shaking up.

over, and Barry, his mount, was badly*
hurt.

stakes, which proved a big upset for the
talent, the Commoner, an odds on favor
ite, with Taral up, not being able to finish
better than third. Havoc, al2to 1 shot,
won by a head from Prince of Monaco.
