to tbe house of Giles Moore, a negro,

to believe that Moore had liquor sect eted
lu bit bcusc tor sale, and that under the
oily ordinance they baa a right to search

Id and no case has been made against

A CHUItCH Sb NSATION.
mv. Cllslry, of >lacon. Yields to the
Prisbure to Oust Him.
HbIACOX, Oa., Aptil 6.—Rev. A. W.
p >Btnr of tbe First Presbyterian
of this City, has tendered his
Kbignation. Tbe history of this step is
Hfaoiue interest. As far back as two
IHLumcrs tbs congregation, wuich is tue
one oi tbat denomination in this
|Ky. turough tbe executive board of tbe
SpilrcD, requested tbe pastor’s resigna
. stating as a reason that under bis
which was after the old
K,.1. stunted and doctrinal, tbe raem
nßship was not Increasing and tbe at
tendance was growing smaller. They
further alleged tbat bit sermons
vter not attractive to tbe yournr,
and produced no interest among
tbe members. Rev. Clisby. the Sunday
following, delivered an unusually strong
sermon, closing with tbe annouiicement
that be bad been asked to resign and
givlug tbe reasons tbe executive board
bad advanced. His statement, supple
mented by some criticisms of tbe reasons,
put the congregation in a flurry and gave
me newspapers a sensational item. The
pastor said be would wait until after tbe
summer vacation, -vlien all of tbe mem
bers bad returned from tbe watering
placed, and appeal to tbe aosgregatlon.
Jle curried tbe day afterward by a close
vote. Since that time tbe discontent bas
gradually increased, a large part of tbe
congregation recently splitting off and
establishing anew church.
Tbe tendering of tbe resignation
Is taken as a completion to tbe irluinpb
of tbe‘‘opposition.” Under lbs rules of
that denomination a paator can only re
sign by permission of a majority of tbe
-members and then goes into effect when
accepted by tbe Presbytery. BfV. < n in
asked permission to resign, not because
be is tired ol tbe work, but to use bis own
language, “in order to tbrow no light on
some questions.” He is an earnest di
vine and a sincere man, but bas not
proven himself sufficiently “modern” lor

Tallahassee, Fla,, April o. Both
bouses of the Legislature met to-day
aud tne Senate proceeded to business by
the introduction of Important resolutions
and bills.
Two bills for the creation of a railroad
commission were introduced.
Considerable discussion ensiled on a
resolution Introduced by Mr. Fowler to
investigate the charge made against the
State printer relative to the so-called
oussiDg section of the constitution found
last year.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
Mann for continuance of toe committee
for investigating the Okeechobee drain
age contract and operations.
The House adjourned soon after meet
ing without accomplishing anything.

to-day. Mr. Mallory is chairman of tbe
Judicial v committee, Mr. Gaskins of the
Committee on Railroads and Telegraph,
Mr. McKinne, on Privileges ana Elec
tions, and Mr. Wall on Commerce and
Navigation.
ABOUT AS EXPECTED.
The organization cf the two houses was
about as nad been expected. Lieut. Gov.
Mabry presides over tne Senate by virtue
of the provision in tbe new constitution
preserving him that right. Mr. 8. Pasco
ucing by far toe most prominent man in
the House of Representatives, it wa6 but
natural tnat he should have neon cnosen
as its Speaker, and the compliment is the
more marked because no opposition was
manilested towards him, suowing tbe
eomidcncfe reposed in him by those who
nave known him.
Dr. \V. F. Bynum, of Live Oak, who
until tbe last session of the Legislature,
was Chief Clerk of the Assembly for
manv years, was again an applicant for
tbe position, but, in consequence ot bis
having sympathized with and aided in
the independent movement in this State
in 1884, he soon discovered that even his
watur personal friends were disposed to
prefer another wbo nad never inhered in
the cause of true Democracy, and tbs
former wheel horse In Florida legislation
re ired irom tue race and left the field in
tne undisputed po-seesion of his former
assistant, Mr. W\ H. Reynolds, ot Polk,
who was chosen Chief Clerk of the House
wituout opposition
THE OTHER OFFICERS.
Tbe other officer* of the House are: As

The members of the assembly are al
most wholly new nmn in the legislative
nails, but they are mien of capacity and
integrity, making tnem competent to
guard tiie interests of the Stale and the
people who have ohoaen them as repre
sentatives. There are only a few lawyers
in tbe assembly, but tbe Senate has tbe
distinction of being composed almost
entirely of tbe legal fraternity.
READY FOR BUSINBSi.
There is a disposition among the mem
bers to settle down as soon as possible to
the task before them in making such en
actments as are necessary to put the new
constituti nin working order. Mr. C. A.

SAPP’s KILLING.
A Correspondent Gives a New Ver
sion of i lie Homicide.
Alapaua, Ga., April 6.—Some two
years ago there came to these parts one
J. U. Allison. He was quiet and unas
suming in manner, aud ol suoti a genial
and iriendlv disoositlon as to attract and
make friends among all classes of people.
A little later he embarked in the turpen
tine and naval stores business in Irwin
county. He had in his employ a large
mißioerof negroes to aid in oonduoting
bis business. Some of idem were lazy
and ahirtiess, and lounged around the
camps stealing both Irom Allison aud
also irom the hands in bis employ. Dur
ing tlie past season Allison has suffered
the loss of several hundred dollars in
casn, besides store goods, etc. A few
weeks ago a negro by tho name
of Sapp went to the store of Al
lison and told the olerk that Mr. Allison
said to let him have a suit of clothes, and
obtained tbom. _ He immediately left
Allison’s place and went tramping, first
working atone turpentine farm and then
at another. Mr. Allison having suffered
so inuoli loss from villains of the Saup
stripe, concluded to follow bun. He lo
cated niiu at O. J. Tatem’s farm, a tew
miles north of this place. He asked Sapp
to give up the stolen suit of clothes. A
noisy war of words tollowed between the
two. Sapp then refused to be arrested or
to go with Mr. Allison. The other negroos
on the place, attracted by the quarrel,
gathered around. On their appearance
Sapp became more desperate in bis re
sistance to arrest. An eye witness says
that tbe looks of tbe whole crowd were
menacing. During tbe excitement, and
while Sapp was fleeing, someone fired a
pistol und be fell wounded, from which
wound a day or two later be died. If Mr.
Allison tired the pistol shot, which
tact bas not yet been proven
to the satisfaction of a great
many persons, be was evidently greatly
excited by the meuaciiig looks of tbe ne
groes Mr. Allison owus und aontrols
one u the largest turpentine farms in
Georgia. He has a home, family and
hosts oi ftiemls, and wh*n the proper
time arrives be will come to the front and
give himself up for trial.
Mr. hlater. Justice ot the Peace at this
place, promptly issued warrants for Air.
Allison’s arrest upon the affidavit made
before him.

.SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 7.1887;
DEATH IN THF. COALMINE.
A TOltH! NT OF FLAME LEAFS
FROM THE SLOPE.
Peop’e For Mile* Around Startled by
the Concussion—Th Six Men In the
Slope atthe Y.ine Uuduubledly Blown
to Aluui.— Suffocation of tbe Kescners,
Chicago, April 6.—A special from
Vinita, i. TANARUS„ referring to the mine disas
ter at Savanna, briefly mentioned In last
night’s late dispatches, save: The body
of gas fired must have been immense.
The torrent of flames forced from the
mouth of the slope was over 100 lect in
height, and illuminated the whole coun
try like an immense flash of lightning.
It was followed with such a concus
sion as to startle every one for miles
arotiDd, ar.d people in the Immediate
vicinity were severely shocked. Tbe
engine house and lilting works structure,
over 100 feet long and two stories high,
was blown into splinters by tbe current
driven out of the slope, and in a few min
utes was env- loped in flames. From the
characier of tbe building and being liter
ally saturated with oil it was not possible
to save anything from tbe flames. There
were six men in the mine at the moment
of the explosion, which occurred at 11
o’clock this evening. These men were
all killed. Their names were: Miles Jar
rett, Dave Jones, Hugh Dooley, William
Barnes, Charles Parsons and Bert French.
THE SUFFOCATED.
The most distressing part of the acci
dent is the suffocation of thirteen more
wh) were attempting, with others, to
reach toe fatr and men through an adjoining
mine. I hev were: James Ward, James
McGinnis, Fred Batz, Thomas Naven,
Mik Ke.ly, Thomas Daniels, George
Hill, Patrick Giancy, Robert Miller,
Patrick Fagan, John Williams, Peter
Renald and William Hudson.
Tbe workings of the two mines run to
gether far down in tbe mines, but these
means of communication have never been
attended to or kept open or in order, al
though they lurnish the only means of
escape from one mine to another, and
now, when they are needed, it is impossi
ble to get sufficient air through the old
disused entries to enable men to prose
oute the searob.
FIVE LOST.
Out of the first party attempting to
reach No. 2 five were lost and are stll’ in
tbe mine, A second party of twelve or
fifteen went down. At this writing eight
of these are reported lost in the mine—
overcome with after-damp and are un
doubtedly dead. This manes thirteen
lives already sacrificed to the inat
tention and neglect In securing prop
er ventilation and getting rid of
the gasses which formed in large
quantities in the mine. There is no tell
ing what may be the further loss of life
in the attempts to rescue the bodies of
those now lu the mine. A cutting is now
being driven througa into one of the
upper lifts or entries. When done it is
hoped It will oe possible to at least rescue
the bodies of the unfortunates. Fans
Dave been started in No. 2by attaching
the boiler of a switching locomotive to
the steam pipes. Everything that is
possible is being done to enable the men
to reach the bottom ot tbe slopes.
