MOHAMMEDANS MURDER MAD.
ASIA MINOR REEKING WITH THE
BLOOD OF CHRISTIANS.
The Work of Maaaucre Renewed in
Several Dialricta Already Once
Swept by the Red Sclmltam—The
Relief Univeranl in Conalantinople
That the Sultan Ordered the Bloody
Work When It Flrat Began and in
Now L'nable to Check It.
London, Nov. 18. —’Tile representative in
Constantinople of the United Press tel
egraphs under yesterday’s date that dis
patches from Sivas dated Nov. 15, have
been received there, stating that the mas
sacre in Marsovan and Amasia districts
were renewed that day. Also that a
number of persons were killed at Sivas
on the 16tlp
United States Minister Terrell received
a dispatch from Aleppo on Nov. 16, say
ing that a massacre had occurred at
Aintab, sixty miles north northeast of
Aleppo. The governor of Aleppo was Im
mediately Instructed by wire to stren
uously enforce the measures taken for
the protection of the American residents
In his jurisdiction.
Minister Terrell has obtained from the
porte an order for a guard of troops to
protect the American missionaries, who,
with their families, are about to pro
ceed to Van, from Bitlis.
The porte is endeavoring to raise £1,000,000
■terltng for the purpose of assisting the
mobilization of troops, and offers to pro
long the concession of the tobacco regie
In exchange for a loan of that sum.
During the last two weeks a tremen
dous pressure has been exercised by the
porte upon the Armenian patrtach to get
him to send a circular note to all the Ar
fceidans in Asia Minor exhorting them
o keep quiet and lend themselves to no
promoters of disturbances.
The object of the porte in taking thia
■tep Is clearly to induce the belle*, that,
the troubles are to a very great extent
due to the aggressions of the Armenians
themselves, and that the troops are mere
ly suppressing riots when engaged in their
work of slaughter.
Yielding to this pressure the patriarch
finally drew up a note, which he sent to
the minister of police, Nazim Pasha, for
his approval. In the meantime, tele
grams were constantly arriving, telling
of fresh massacres and the patriarch sent
his secretary to Nazim Pasha demanding
the return of his note. The secretary
was at the same time instructed to say
to the minister of police, in the name of
the patriarch: "It would be an insult
to my people to send such a note to them
when they are dying by thousands upon
the roadsides.”
To this, the minister replied: "You are
quite right,” adding “The Hamadich cav
alry are turning against him.”
“Against whom?” asked the secretary.
"Against the one who ordered all this,”
was the suggestive answer of the min
ister.
This is given merely as an instance of
the manner tn which even the high offi
cials refer to the sultan. Nobody in Con
stantinople says the correspondent, doubts
that either the sultan or the palace clique
under the sultan’s assent ordered the mas
sacre®. or that the regular troops are
plundering and killing In accordance with
the orders of their superior officers.
Things having gone so far in this direc
tion, the sultan finds now that he has
no power to control the storm which he
himself has raised. Indeed he cannot even
command order among the troops attach
ed to his own palace. Innumerable re
ports were current tn regard to the mental
and physical condition of the sultan, one
of which asserts that he has become af
flicted with insomnia, and for a period of
forty-eight hours has not been able to
sleep. According to this rumor, he sits
with hla hlad drooping, (jsver heeding
any one who may speak to,him and care
less of anything that may go on around
him. The spies in and about the palace
have been doubled in number, but the
people no longer hesitate to talk against
the sultan in the streets and in the cases,
and other public places, believing that his
fail is imminent. If there should be an
other change in the grand viziership, It.
is believed that Mahmoud Pasha, who is
now minister of commerce, is likely to
succeed Halil Rifat Pasha in that office.
Mamhoud has also been minister of
finance and has occupied the office of
vice governor of Crete. Since he has
held his present post at the head of the
department of commerce he has ordered
all of the employes of that bureau,
three-fourths of whom are Christians,
to work on Sundays.
United States Minister Terrell Is bear
ing up wonderfully well under the un
ceasing excitement and activity engen
dered by his Interest in the troubles of
the Americans tn Asia Minor, where they
outnumber three to one any others of for
eign nationality, 150 of/ them being mis
sionaries. Mr, Terrell is constantly vis
iting the sublime porte, and sometimes
sees the sultan himself In his insistency
upon the government’s affording abso
lute protection to the American mission
aries and other American citizens In Asia
Minor. The missionaries are perfectly
satisfied with the results of his action.
He is ceaseless in his efforts to protect
the interests of America and Americans.
That there may be no question about
this, they desire the United Press to say
that any newspaper or other statement
to the contrary Is maliciously false.
The Anglo-Armenian Association has
received the following telegram
from Constantinople: "Massacres
are proceeding ’ almost everywhere
In Asia Minor. Over luO.OOO persons are
dying from starvation In Armenia. For
Hod’s sake urge the government to put
a stop to the most awful event of modern
times. The porte is powerless, as the
telegraph lines are controlled by the po
lice officials, who have incited these mas
sacres.’’
The Pall Mali Gazette asserts that it
has high diplomatic authority for the
statement that the powers have, no inti n- '
tian of Immediately making a Joint naval
demonstration against the porte. Each 1
fleet will In the meantime act under indo- I
pendent ’instructions. When Sir Phi lip
Currie, the British ambassador returns to
Constantinople a meeting of the iimbns-
Hadors will be held to consider whether the
qlrcumstanees demand further action in
ceuard to Armenia.
The Standard will to-morrow publish a
dispatch from Constantinople saying that
there Is no doubt that the central au
thority has been doing its utmost to
check the massacres, but owdng to the In
flamed passions of the lower classes of
Moslems, and the absence of sufficient
force to restrain the Kurds and also, to
the defiant attitude of the Zeltoun Ar
menians, it has met with little success.
AU the vails have been kept for hours
at the telegraph stations listening to the
severest instructions, flavored with the i
strongest Invectives from the palace
There Is reason to hope that they are
getting the upper hand In Armenia, ex
cept In the southeastern corner of the
Medtoun district. There the Armenians
who are in open revolt, have destroyed
many Moslem villages and treated the
inhantlanis with the same nameless bar
barity that has been practiced by the
Turks elsewhere.
The sultan yesterday instructed the I
ministers to draw up a plan for the mob- i
llizatlon of 6<XUW troops. The. financial I
Situation Is such that the request appears i
grotesque. Nevertheless the ministers '
are compelled to comply and some sort '
of scheme will be elaborated. Respectful '
hints as to the want of inonev made to '
the su han threw him Into a passion The i
result was that several ministers re- i
signed, but their resignations were not I
accepted.
.More revolutionary placards have been 1
posted about the city and letters of sim
ilar Import haw found their wav to the
‘ aujtan'B table
The opinion smms to be Raining ground
that the Armenians have so stultified ♦
themselves that the powers arc not likely
K. take steps to coerce the sultan until
measures that are being tried shall have
proved futile or a fresh outbreak occurs
The Times to-morrow wilt publish a dis- t
batch from Vienna saying that hitherto !
it has ‘been customary for each of the I
pow‘ r* to maintain ar.o light warship m i
the Golden 1 lorn or the Bosphorus It j
Is now intetbled that each power shall |
have two Warships there. An irade by ''
the sultan will be required to allow for- i
»ig»; wwrghips to pass the Dardaneils. *
Russia, Austria and Italy have applied :
to the porte for the necessary irade (or '
thrtr ship* to pass.
• Ireecw’a request that she be allowud to

been refused, on the ground that she is
not a signatory power to the Berlin
treaty. Tne movement must be regarded
as something more than a means of pro
tecting the embassies and foreigners.

SEIZURE OF T2iE LAURADA.
Ex-Senator Butler tq, Represent the
Owners of the Vessel.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 18.—J. D. Hart,
the agent of the o wners of the Laurada,
arrived in the city this morning. He de
nies absolutely the charges lodged against
the vessel, and he expresses his entire
confidence in his ability to prove them
incorrect. He has employed ex-Senator
M. C. Butler to defend the boat in the
courts. The case will not be heard until
Senator Butler has arrived. Capt.
Hughes is still under arrest and in tne
hands of the marshal. Mr. Hart said to
night that Capt. Hughes’ bond had been
arranged by wire during the day, but
that It was too late to release him. He
said that he would see that the captain
was turned loose to-morrow. From re
marks dropped by Mr. Hart in conversa
tion, it is evident that a claim will be
made against the government for the
arrest of Capt. Hughes.
The case against the vessel will proba
bly be made before the federal authori
ties to-morrow, and it is also probable
that a removal,to New York w’ill be asked
for.
CAROLINA’S CONVENTION.
Support of Higher Educational In-

Columbia, S. C., Nov. 18.—The constitu
tional convention, after a debate lasting
all day Saturday, all of this morning and
all of to-night’s session until after 11
o'clock, reached a vote on State Senator
R. B. Watson’s amendment to the arti
cle on education to strike out the provi
sion making the support of the higher
educational institution mandatory up
on the legislature. The amendment was
adopted by a vote of 63 to 49, and this
was done despite powerful speeches by
Senator Tillman, Julian Mitchell and J.
P. K. Bryan- of Charleston and other
strong men in the convention. The sec
tion, as amended, says the legislature
"may" make appropriations to support
these institutions. To-night the conven
tion received its first report from the

A NEW APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY
TO THE CURE OF DISEASES.
INVENTION OF GRANVILLE S. RIDER,
Powerful Influence of (he Electric
Current on the Nutritive Fac
ulties Demonstrated.
Uncle Bob in New York World.
A new medical batterq, known as the
“Earth-Magneto,” has been the subject
of much favorable comment during the
past few weeks. I found this much-talk
ed of battery at No. 19 Union Square, the
offices of the proprietors. This machine
is the invention of Mr. Granville S. Ri
der, and may completely revolutionize the
principle of electricity as applied to the
cure of disease. I was struck with the
beauty and simplicity of the arrange
ment of the Earth-Magneto, and the ex
planation of its workings given me by
Mr. Rider Impressed me very forcibly.
One great advantage in this new inven
tion is that it requires no previous know
ledge of electric treatment in order to
apply it intelligently. It may be used
by any one, and yet all the beneficial ef
fects Os the electric current obtained. A
report recently placed before the French
Academy of Sciences, on the remarkable
results of the treatment of patients by
electricity, demonstrated'the powerful in-'
fluence that the electric current has on
the nutritive faculties, and on this ac
count it constitutes a mode of treatment
of the highest value in a large number
of functional disorders caused by inac
tion or perversion of the nutritive pro
cesses. Indeed, there does not seem to
be any limit to what may be accom
plished in the application of electricity
to medical science. In the Earth-Mag
neto you find all the dangers of the old
system obviated, and, besides, one gets
the galvanic, static and magnetic actions
in unison, and thereby an effect which
cannot be produced by any other known
electrical appliance. All possibility of
strain on the nervous centers is eradi
cated. The Earth-Magneto produces a
continuous, unnotioeabie, yet effective
flow. It is impossible for the body to
take more than it can stand, because the
varying powers of the three currents
establish an equilibrium which is regu
lated by the resistance of the body. Mr.
R-ider gave me a practical illustration
of this principle by attaching the elec
trodes to my wrist and ankle and turn
ing on the current. I could not perceive
the slightest symptoms of a shock, yet
the current was strong enough to drive
a small motor, ring an ordinary bell and
operate other electric devices, which were
in succession attached to the machine
by the same electrodes. From this R
will be seen that every possibility of ah
overcharge is overcome and any person
can attach an electrode of his Earth-
Magneto to his arm or leg on going to
bed and continue to take the current
all night without the slightest danger
of getting more than the system needs.
Mr. Rider found this form of electricity
to be a potent cure for many ailments
that baffled physicians, permanently cur
ing all forms of nervous diseases, gout,
dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism, neu
ralgia, sciatica, insomnia, melancholia,
paralysis, lumbago, pain in the back or
limbs, kidney, bladder or liver com
plaints, headache, female complaints and
wasting diseases. The Earth-Magneto
battery has been indorsed by leading phy
sicians, who have experimented with it,
and a number of well-known people, in
whom I have every confidence, make
statements as to cures which cannot be
ignored in considering the subject. For

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—S. M. Inman,
chairman of the finance committee of the
exposition, to-day gave notice to the trus
tees for the bondholders that the expo
sition company was ready to pay the
second 25 per cent, installment. Twelve

close up the whole issue and pay the last
fourth by Dec. 20.
The attendance has increased largely at
the exposition within the last week and
all talk of continuing it beyond Dec. 31,
has been put at an end by a resolution
by the directors declaring that the fair

SHOT BY A BLACK BRUTE.
A 12-Year-Old Girl Fatally Wonnded
for Reaiating: His Demands.
Winston, N. C., Nov. 18.—Bob Scales,
a young colored man, bound to a farmer
named John Meaders, near Madison, to
day shot and fatally wounded the 12-
year-old daughter of Thomas Belton, a
tenant on Meaders’ place. The negro
went to Belton’s house while the latter
was away from home and tried to get her
to go with him to a piece of woods. She
refused and began screaming. Scales told
her he would kill her If she declined to
accompany him. and at the same time
drew a pistol from his pocket and shot
her above the left eye.
Seales Is only 16 years of age. He has
a reputation of being a bad character.
Officers and a mob of citizens are hunting
for him. and if caught he will certainly
be lynched. A report received to-night
says they are on the fiend’s track.

South Carolina's School Fund,
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 18.—During the
past year the state levy for common
school purposes was 2 mills, but in addi

tricts imposed additional levies varying
from 2 to 5 mills. As provided in the ar
ticle in the new constitution now being
passed upon by the constitutional conven
tion, the state levy hereafter is to be 3
mills. This will produce about $650,000,
and to this will be added the profits from
the dispensary, which will probably be
something more than $300,000, so that next
year's common school fund will probably
reach $1,000,000.

SHOEMAKER MAKES A BAD SLIP
A FALSE AFFIDAVIT RESORTED TO
IN THE HOLMES CASE.
A Police Station Matron Admits Thnt
She Committed Perjury When She
Signed Under a Fictitious Name a
Pauer Clainiina' That Pitezel Hud
Expressed nn Intention to Commit
Suicide The Lawyer Collapses
When a Detective Exposes the
Whole Plot to the Court.
Philadelphia, Nov. 18.—The argument for
a new trial in the case of the convicted
murderer Holmes was heard this morn
ing in the criminal court before Judge
Arnold, who tried the case, Judge Wil
son and Judge Thayer, the presiding judges
of the court. Like all the phases of this
; singular ease, this ordinarily routine pro
cedure furnished a sensation.
Holmes was brought from prison, to
court The weeks of confinement since
■ his conviction has added to the emacia
tion that was so marked when he was
j in court before, and a heotic flush has
; taken the place of his former pallor. He
has also lost the easy look of confidence
that he wore during his trial, and al
though he was composed, his anxiety was
‘ plainly visible.
The sensation was furnished by Mr.
I Shoemaker, one of Holmes’ counsel. Mr.
Shoemaker presented an affidavit from a
witness purporting to be named Blanche
Hannigan. In the affidavit the witness
swore that she kept a cigar store on Cal
lowhill street, near the house where Pite
zel was killed, and that she knew the
dead man, and that he told her that he
intended to commit suicide.
District Attorney Graham asked that
the witness be called to the stand and
Mr. Shoemaker replied that he did not
know where she was.
Then Mr. Graham called a private de
tective named Swetzler to the stand. The
detective testified that Mr. Shoemaker,
weeks ago had written out the affidavit
and given S2O to pay some one to swear
to it.
Then Detective Geyer was called and
he testified that Swetzler had shown him
the affidavit before it was signed.
Then a woman was called to the stand
who said she was the “Blanche Hanni
gan" who signed the affidavit. She swore
that she knew nothing about the state
ments in the affidavit. Her name instead
of being Hannigan is Rhea, and she Is the
matron in the Fourth police district. It
was at the suggestion of Detective Geyer
that she went with Swetzler to Mr. Shoe
maker and impersonated “Blanche Han
nigan.”
Mr. Shoemaker gave her S2O and took
her before a notary public and she swore
to the statement.
This astonishing testimony that seemed
to clearly point to a perjured affidavit
surprised the court, and when
Mr. Shoemaker attempted to make some
confused statement, Judge Thayer sug
gested to him that his greatest safety lay
in silence.
Mr. Rotan, Holmes’ other attorney,
stated to the court that he knew* nothing
of the affidavit, and then he began the
argument for a new trial. The main
points of the reason for asking for. a trial
were given in these dispatches
last week when the application for a
new trial was filfed The principal alle
gations for asking,JJor the trial are that
the district attorney Influenced the jury
in introducing evilfence showing 1 that the
children were killqfl by Holmes; that the
defense was not rbiidy to proceed and
that he court errfed on a number of
points in the trial.;} ’
Mr. Rotan argued fdr an hour.and fifty
minutes and Di st Wet Attorney Graham
refilled. In his' argument Mr. Rotan had
dwelt upon the inadmissibility of the ev
idence of Miss Yoke, on ground that the
commonwealth had not clearly shown she
was not the prisoner’s wife, and' she was
not therefore a competent witness.
Mr. Graham reproduced the prisoner’s
letters to the Willimette, 111., wife, ac
cording the ceremony of marriage, and
then Mr. Graham sprung a surprise on
Holmes that perceptibly took him back.
Mr. Graham put in evidence, a record
from the Chicago courts of an applica
tion for a divorce filed by Holmes, ask
ing for a separation from his real wife,
who lives in Gllmerton, N. H. He also
produced an affidavit from this wife that
while making the now famous journey
with Mrs. Pitezel and Miss Yokes. Holmes
came to see her and resumed his rela
tions as a husband with her. Mr. Gra
ham review the contentions set up by
the defense, and step by step demolished
them, and in a manner that was abso
lutely conclusive shed a flood of con
vincing light upon Holmes’ guilt.
During the trial Mr. Graham was fre
quently restrained by points of law re
ferring to the prisoner, but in his re
view of the evidence he was restrained
by no such conditions, and he fairly with
ered Holmes with his scorching arraign
ment of his various crimes.
The weak point In Mr. Graham’s case
during the trial was how Pitezel was act
ually killed. His inference was that
Pitezel was chloroformed to death by
Holmes, but he never brought this out
clearly. Judge Wilson seemed struck by
this and asked Mr. Graham how Pitezel
was killed. Mr. Graham said that it was
the contention of the commonwealth that
Holmes chloroformed him to death, but
the district attorney did not make clear
how the man was murdered. Mr. Rotan
seized on this point, and in addressing
the* court in his closing argument, dwelt
on the improbability of a man of Hqlmes’
physique overcoming Pitezel and killing
him with chloroform. He also contended
that though the commonwealth had pro
duced evidence to show that Pitezel
bought a pint of whisky the night be
fore he died, there was no evidence to
show he w r as drunk on the day he died,
and thereby enabled Holmes to adminis
ter the chloroform to him in that condi
tion.
In concluding his argument. Mr. Ro
tan ased the court to take particular note
in their decision of the medical evidence
offered at the trial, which, he contended,
was incomplete and inconclusive.
Judge Thayer replied that the court
would consider this phase of the case
and especially as requested by Mr. Ro
tan.
Then Judge Thayer, addressing Mr.
Shoemaker, told him that he had a most
unpleasant duty to perform. He said
that in view of the use Mr. Shoemaker
made of the affidavit he presented in the
i court this morning the court had no ai
j ternative but to hold him in $1,500 bond
i for subordination of perjury. Mr. Shoe
' maker stood pallid and nerveless while
, Judge Thayer was speaking and when
his honor had finished he made an inar
ticulate effort to say something, but his
voice choked and he sat down silently.
The court reserved its decision upon
granting Holmes a new trial, but that
the new trial will be refused from the
line of questioning adopted by the bench
is not doubted.
Mr. Shoemaker procured ball, but re
fused to make any statement in regard
! to the affidavit. He would only say that
|it was’a most cruel and unexpected de-
■ velopment to him, and that he understood
his whole professional career was at stake
! Mr. Rotan, Mr. Shoemaker’s colleague,
was greatly worried over the affair, as
; he feared it would reflect upon him, but
at it was clearly shown in court that he
, had had no hand In procuring the affi
davit, the bench of judges exonerated him
' from blame. Mr. Rotan expressed the
[ opinion that Mr. Shoemaker would be
able to show his innocence of any guilty
intent, and that he fell into a trap that
was set for him.
KILLED BY A TROLLEy’ CAR.
An Employe of the Exposition Meets
a Horrible Death.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—G. W. Cater, an
employe of the exposition, was killed at
Jackson street and Highland avenue to
day by a Consolidated trolley car. Cater
was formerly from Greensboro, N. C. He
was standing on one track waiting

Acute Dyspepsia.)
* SYMPATHETIC HEART DISEASE 1
OFTEN ATTENDS IT.
The Modern Treatment Consists in Re.
moving the Panne.
(From the Republican, Cedar Rapidt, lowa.)
Mrs. V. Curley who has resided in Clar
ence, lowa, for the past twenty-two years,
tells an interesting story of what she con
siders rescue from premature death. Het
narrative is as follows :
“ For ten years prior to 1894, 1 was a eon*
•tant sufferer from acute stomach trouble.
I had all the manifold symptoms of acuts
dyspepsia, and at times other troubles were
present in complication—l did not know
what it was to enjoy a meal. No matter
how careful I might be as to the quality,
quantity and preparation of my food, dis
tress always followed eating. I'was despon
dent and blue. Almost to the point of in
sanity at times, and would have been glad
to die. Often and often I could not sleep.
Sympathetic heart trouble set in and time
and again I was obliged to eall a doctor in
the pight to relieve sudden attacks of suffo
cation whioh would come on without a
moment’s warning.
My troubles increased as time wore on and
I spent large sums in doctor bills, being com
pelled to have medical attendants almost
constantly. Daring 1892 and 1893, it was
impossible for me to retain food, and water
brashes plagued me. I was reouced to a
skeleton. A consultation of physicians was
unable to determine just what aid ail me.
The doctors gave us as their opinion that
the probable trouble was ulceration of the
coats of the stomach and held out no hope
of recovery. One doctor said, “All I can do
to relieve your suffering is ny the use of
opium.
About this time a friend of mine, Mrs.
Symantha Smith, of Glidden, lowa, told
me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Ox
ford Junction, lowa. This lady said she
had been afflicted much the same as I had.
She had consulted local physicians without
relief, and had gone to Davenport for treat
ment. Giving up ail hope of recovery, she
was persuared bv a friend to take Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. The result was
almost magical.
I was lea to try them from her experience,
and before many months I felt better than '
I had for a dozen years.* I am now almost
free from trouble, and if through some error
of diet I feel badly, this splendid remedy
seta me right again. I have regained my ;
strength and am once more in my usual
flesh. I slAep well and can eat without dis
tress. I have no doubt that I owe my re
covery to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I only
wish that I had heard of them years ago
thereby saving myself ten years of suffering
and much money.”
Dr. Williams’" Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give now life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for

to Be Antagonistic to the Pro
posed Constitutional Amendment

Savannah Bills brought Up.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18.—Senator Harris
of the Twenty-second district introduced
in the Senate to-day a bill providing for
the establishment of a court of appeals
on a plan, that is somewhat different
from either of the other plans for the
court of appeals now before the general
assembly as a means of relieving the bur
dens of the supreme courts, as at present
constituted. Senator Harris prepared the
bill with a view to the immediate neces
sities of the situation. A constitutional
amendment to increase the number of su
preme court judges and divide that tri
bunal into sections, as proposed by the
Fleming bill, could not become effective
under a year or more, and Senator Harris’
bill proposes to furnish the relief that is
demanded in the interim. It is ,not in
tended to be antagonistic to the pro
posed constitutional amendment, but is
an emergency measure primarily, although
as a permanent institution the senator
believes that the court of appeals will
fill a long-felt want. The bill provides
for an itinerant court of three judges,
who shall receive a salary of $2,500 each
per annum, with traveling The
court is to sit at. various points in the
state that may be convenient for the
hearing of appeals from the various ju
dicial circuits, although it is not to sit in
every circuit, several of the circuits be
ing grouped at each place of sitting.
Another important bill introduced in the
Senate was presented by Mr. Beeks. It
provides for the appointment of three can
ductors of county school institutes, and
was prepared pursuant to the recommen
dation of the Georgia Teachers!. Associa
tion at their last annual meet
ing, as well as upon the recom
mendation of the convention of county
school superintendents, which met hero
recently. Under the bill the institute con
ductors are to receive a salary of $1,500
each, with S2OO for expenses; they are to
be appointed by the state board of educa
tion upon the recommendation of the state
school commissioner, after they have un
dergone a thorough examination as to
their competency at his hands.
Mr. Monroe introduced in the Senate to
day a bill placing county and municipal
convicts under the jurisdiction of the state
department of the penitentiary. It pro
vides, also, for the appointment of an
other assistant keeper of the penitentiary
at a salary of $1,500 per annum, to look
after this department of the work.
Senator Monro* also Introduced a bill
authorizing county authorities to hire
their misdemeanor .convicts to private par
ties. The supreme court has decided that
this is illegal under the present law.
In the House, one of the most import
ant new bills of the day was that of Mr.
Broyles of Fulton to so amend the con
stitution as to strike out the word “male”
in the section relating to the right of suf
frage, thus giving women the right to
vote in Georgia elections. The bill was
introduced by request, and is the re
sult of the agitation of the women suf
frage question, by the local branch of
that organization.
Mr. Boifeuillet of Bibb introduced the
bill recommended by the Georgia Asso
ciation of Manufacturers, giving munic
ipal corporations the right to exempt man
ufacturers from municipal taxes for such
period of time as they may deem proper
for the encouragement of manufactur-
Mr. Price of Lumpkin introduced a bill
to prohibit the sale of patent medicines
in Georgia, and Mr. Wynne of Wilkes,
a resolution to appropriate money to
purchase a portrait of Hon. Robert
Toombs to be placed. In the capitol.
Another important bill was one intro
duced by Mr. Gray of Catoosa, requiring
thgt all cavalry and infantry companies
shall be assigned to some regiment in the
volunteer service; also a bill providing
for the appointment of a board to revise
and consolidate the military laws of the
state.
Hon. Charles Jewett, ex-speaker of the
House of Representatives of Indiana, was
a visitor on the floor of the House this
morning, and at the invitation of the
House, through a resolution by Mr. Battle
of Muscogee, delivered a brief address.
Mr\ Willink to-day introduced a bill to
establish a board of tax receivers and as
sessors for the city of Savannah.
The bill to abolish appeals from the po
lice court of Savannah passed the House
to-day.
