providing for the sale of Hie Western and
Atlantic railroad, if $8,000,000 could be
gotten lor the property, and if not a re
lease of the property, to take effect at the
expiration of the present lease, was called
up. This substitute wa* made up ol the
sale feature of Mr. Mclcndon’s bill and
the lease feature of Mr. Clay’s bill.
Mr. Hawks moved to indefinitely post
pone action on the bill.
Mr. Durden offered an amendment strik
ing out tbe reference to sale.
Mr. Brandt favored immediate action on
the bill. It cost us, he said, $582,000 an
nually to own the road.
MR. FELTON’S OPPOSITION.
Mr. Felton opposed the sale of the State
road in his earnest, magnetic etyle. He
adverted to the fact that it was tinilt by
our fathers under the most discouraging
circutustauces out of their resources, and
with their own labor and money, it is
unexceled ns a piece of public
property, and was considered by them
only second to the great canal of New
York. It was then held that under proper
management it would relieve u* of taxa
tion, educate the people, and cheapen
rates of freight. A spirit ot gratitude and
a sense of public regard for our fathers
should impel us to vote against this pro
posed outrage on their memories.
A REVENUE PRODUCER.
It has been a wonderful revenue pro
ducer when properly and honestly con
trolled by Georgia. It has turned mill
ions into our treasury. The fable of
.Esop about killing the goose that laid
the golden egg had Its apothesls in the
Georgian wishing to destroy this road. Ho
referred to tbe honored dead, who conse
crated their lives to this work. In 1861
when a member o( tbe General Assembly
stated that the road needed new equip
ments, Francis S. Bartow, of Chatham
county, with an eloquence never aur
passed, joined hands with upper Georgia,
and a sufficient sum was appropriated.
He believed that, as public prop
erty, it was unexceled by any such In
tho United States.
worth $12,000,000.
The road, be said, under proper manage
ment, would relieve the people of tho
State of burdening taxation, and would
al-o, as the builders asserted, edneate tue
children of tbe State. This road is worth,
according to the testimony OfOoV. Brown,
$600,000 a year. At 6 per cent, lhat is
$ 12.000,000. This hill wants to sell it for
only $8.000,000.
Mr. Felton had the floor at tho hour of
adjournment, and held it after the opening
ol the afternoon session until he concluded
his aigument.
On motion the Dill was tabled. The
popular impression is that there is no im
mediate necessity for either selling tbe
properly or re-leasing it, and that the hill
will not come up again this session.
The entire afternoon session was de
voted to consideration of Mr. Gtisiin’s
amendment to the bill providing for the
calling of a constitutional convention,
which amendment provides that the
question of a convention or no convention
shall lie submitted to the voters of the
State at the next general election. No
action hod beeu taken up to the hour of
adjournment.
CURED BY" HERRING URINE.
The Remarkable Experience of tlol.
Isaac Kidd of Cleveland -Palmistry.
From thf y*ui York Sun.
Ci.kvki.and, Sept. B,—Col. Isaac Kidd,
of this oity, is the owner of a patent
swinging harness in use in all first-class
tire departments in the country, and
pearly every fireman iu the country
knows Kidd. A year or so ago he was
afflicted with what seemed to he a malig
nant sore throat, lie consulted the In st,
local medical talent, grew worse contin
ually, and then went to Chicago, where
he took ssod course of treatment under
an einiuent specialty physician, with no
ttetter results. Later be weut to Boston,
where be consulted Dr. Henry L. Shaw,
of Boylston street, one of the t*#t known
throat specialists in the country.
“Dr. Wbaw told me,” said Kidd to a cor
respondent, “that i had a tnroat just like
Gen. Grant’s, ami that a cure was im
possible. He gave me this prescription,”
added Kidd, unfolding one of Sbaw'a
blanks on which was written “Cocaine
and aqua pure,” tbe one to lie diluted by
the other. “The Doctor told mo that the
cocaine would afford a temporary relief,
so that I could more easily lake nourish
ment. My throat was eo bad that 1 could
swallow scarcely any food, and I was
nothing but skin and bone. Well, I wan
two days in summoning up enough
courage to go home and meet my wlfeand
boy, with my death warrant in
my pocket.. Shortly after my return
home, and while I was waiting to die,
a friend called my attention to some re
markable cures that were being performed
by an old German doctor who lived out in
the southern suburbs of the city. He was
remarkably successful in diagnosing
oases. His method was to grasp the pa
tient’s hand in in# own, palm upward, ex
amine it closely, turn it over and look at
the finger nails, and then, without a word
from the patient, lie would proceed with a
statement of the case that never failed in
its correotnes*. Well, l had no faith In
palmistry, but a# a last resort 1 went over
to see the old German. As my speech
was affected by the inroads of the disease,
it wa# agreed that 1 should not ssv a
word. The o and fellow looked at my hand
and said at once:
“‘You have a very bad sore throat.
Somebody has been doctoring the symp
toms, but 1 will cure tho disease in three
months.’ Now, what do you suppose lie
told me to do? To take a tub of Holland
herring, costing a dollar, to draw off the
brine, strain it, and gargle with it. Well,
I didn’t have a particle ol faith in the
doctor or his prescription, but I tried it.
At first I thought it would take the top of
my head off. but 1 began to get better, and
now i am entirely well, and weigh 225
pounds. Just look at my throat.”
Kidd opened his mouth, and a glance
showed the effect the disease had had.
There was a noticeable impediment in bin
speech.
“After I got well,” continued lvldd, “I
went down to Boston on business, and
Fire Commissioner Green made me prom
ise that I would go and tell Gen. Grant,
who was then sick in Now York, ou m.v
way home. 1 stopped in New York, and
went up to the Grant mansion on Fifth
avenue, and was ordered away by the po
lice. 1 refused to tell my business, for 1
had a horror of getting my name in the
papers as a crank. 1 stayed in the city
for three days, and finally intercepted Col.
Fred Grant as he was going into the
house; but lie insisted so strongly that he
iisd no time to listen to me that I gave up
and came home. I don’t know that Hol
land herring brine would have cured Gen.
Grant, but I do know that it cured my
throat, with a very little other medicine,
after 1 had spent over SI,OOO with some of
tho best physicians in the country.”
HOW TO MAKE OZONE.
A New A’ork I’hystotan'* New Invention
—Wonderful Result* Expected.
New York, Sept. 13.—A method of pro.
ducing ozone in illimitable quantities Is
revealed to the world by l)r. George F.
Sbrady, the physician who figured as one
of Gen. Grant’s attendants. The process
is the Invention, however, of I)r. Andrew
H. Smith, a city practitioner; and he and
Shrady, in obedience to tho ethical rule of
the pretension to impart all discoveries to
the publio, instead “I patenting or secret
ing them, will disclose the matter fully at
the forthcoming international medical
congress. The power of ozone to vivify,
Invigorate and strengthen those who
breathe It ha* been subjected to ridicule by
Jules Verne in his story of the wild doings
ol a village which became accidentally
permeated with it; but physleian# and
scientists have lonv- regardnd’it seriously,
and haveexpected somemeansof utilizing
it. Ozone I* a gaseous substance, the true
nature of winch is not full y understood,
it gets a name from the peculiar oiler,
which resembles that produced when a
succession of electric spark# are passed
through tho air. Faraday considered
ozone one of the forms of oxygen, and
identical with the medicinal quality In
electricity. Working on the problem
from Ihi# premise. Dr. Smith has
built a machine tor making ozone,
and this is wliat lie and Shrady
have decided to give up to the profession.
The apparatus consists of a box flllesl
with grease-free cotton fibre, through
which an electric current is passed be.
tween the prime conductors of a static
machine. A large surface of air is thus
exposed tn electrical aeti n, and a cor
responding amount of ozone is produced.
To breathe this through an inhaler nmkeH
one cough al once, and if long continued,
would cause bronchial Inflammation; but
by turning out the ozone into a room,
wonderful results—so the doctors think—
may be effected in a curative and ex’.ila
tory way :
