Ooloatl Moraau lUnln Wnnt* tn bn Sppabcr of the Uounf>, But lion. W. A. Little Will Beat Him. Hlahmond County “Want, the Barth” In the Way of Offleea—Particulars from the date City. Special to Enquirer-.Sun. Atlanta, November 1.—The following may be accepted as the official organiza tion of the next legislatcre : President of the Senate—Hon. John S. Davidson, of Richmond. Clerk—W. A. Harris, of Worth. Doorkeeper—L. J. Aired, of Pickens. Messenger—A. J. Cameron, of Telfair. Speaker of the House—Hon. W. A. Lit tle, of Muscogee. Clerk—Mark A. Hardin, of Pulton. Doorkeeper—R. J. Wilson, of Richmond. Messenger—J. R. Bull'll, of Cofil e. The hotel lobbies are beginning to as sume the boo hive air and every incoming train is laden with state solons or candi dates for oftico. Hon. W. A. Little is here shaking hands with hi3 friends and looking after his in terest. Hon. Morgan Rawls has announced himself a candidate for speaker, and is here working up his candidacy, but well informed gentlemen tell mo that it is prob able his name will not be submitted to the house. They say he will become convinced of the hopelessness of his race and will gracefully unite in paying Col. Little the compliment r>f a unanimous election with out opposition, llo may be given the place of speaker pro tem. by way of com promise, t hough lie will have opposition from Hon. A. S3. Clay, of Cobb. lion. M. V. Calvin, of Richmond, lias been urged for the place by his friends, and would have made a formidable candidate, but he will probably be withdrawn in the interest of Hon. J. S. Davidson’s candidacy for president of the senate. For Richmond to have president of the senate, doorkeeper of the house and speaker pro tem., smacks a little too much of “wanting the earth,” and as Mr. David son and Co). Dick Wilson arc reasonably sure of their offices, Mr. Calvin will be asked not to jeopardize them by pressing his name for speaker pro tem. Mr. Davidson will be opposed in his race for president of the senate by lion. C. R. Pringle, of Washington, and Col. W. E. Smith, of Dougherty, both strong men. Col. Tete Smith is well known throughout the state, and will have tho following of the soldier element. Col. Pring'e repre sents the prohibition element, and will have a strong fellowiug. Mr. Davidson has his record as president pro tem. of the last senute, and the Masonic element to lend strength to his candidacy. This will be the most interesting and exciting race in tho organization of the legislature. D. H. Carlton, of Clarke, ex-president of the senate, is not in the present body, having been elected to congress from the eighth district. Col. Mark Hardin, the veteran clerk of the house, will be opposed by Hon. Cooper Nesbitt, but will be elected. Col. Dick Wilson will have opposition for the office of doorkeeper, but will over come it. Hon. W. A. Harris will have no opposi tion as clerk of the senate. The present legislature will be notable for the large percentage of young men and Of new members.

At the last term of the legislature the Stone Mountain circuit, consisting of the counties of DeKalb and Clayton, was cre ated for two years in order to clear the docket of the Atlanta circuit, of which these two counties were a part. It has provtd that the business of the Atlanta circuit is onerous without these two coun ties, and an effort will be made before this legislature to make the Stone Mountain circuit a permanent one. If it proves successful Solicitor Ward will be opposed by J. S. Kennedy. 'Nearly all of the candidates are on the ground g> tting in their work, and the Kimball House lobby lias been crowded all night. Even at the hour of midnight a number are still at work. Brail In tlm Street. Atlanta, November 1.—Robert Ray, an old negro man well known about the city, was found dead on a vacant lot yesterday. He had set cut for Grunt’s park from his home, and it is supposed some sudden at tack upon his brain or heart caused his death. The Prohibition Heeoril. Atlanta, November 1.—Fourteen cases of drunk were entered on the books at police headquarters from noon Saturday to 12 o’clock Sunday night. This is the record for prohibition. In 1885 for the same date and time twenty-one cases were booked, and in 1881 twenty were entered. Is Felton In tho Field. Atlant, Ga., November 1.—Gentlemen S resent from the seventh congressional istrict confirm the report that Felton tickets have been placed at the precincts in the district on which Dr. W. H. Felton’s name appears as a candidate for congress. It is said considerable excitement has been created by the discovery, but it is not be lieved that Dr. Felton was instrument! 1 in getting out the tickets. Jail Birds FI;. Atlanta, November 1.—News has been received of the breaking of the Cartersville jail to-day and the escape of all the prisoners except lobe Jackson. Tho prisoners were allowed the freedom of the yard during the day and escaped over the wall by means of the lightning rod. Tobe Jackson had the same opportunity of escape but said he preferred to serve out his term. He is evidently trying to get a few years New York, November 1.—The will of Mrs. Cornelia M.

E. church of the diocese of Long Island or to a corporation known as the Cathedral of the Incarceration, in the diocese of -omr Island. All the one-half of her residuary estate so devised is to be a ppliod for this purpose.

CliDch and Henry Hilton are authorized to make I ouch Partition and division of their inter- I esrs in the estate as they may sec fit. If any heirs become a party to any proceed- j lag to interfere with the will, the provis- I ion in the will In liid or her favor is to be eaiicuiled. The codicil of tho will is dated May 27, 1873. By auothor codicil, Mrs. Stewart authorizes Henry Hilton, in regard to a share and portion of her prop erty -devised and bequeathed to him in trust, to lease and dispose of it from time to time as he shall deem expedient, all such acts to be as valid and as effective as if made by the testatrix; and ail expenses to be allowed him without fur ther proof than that, they were actually made.

Washington, November 1.—A decision was rendered in the supreme court to-day in the case of the Jacksonville ,Pensacola and Mobile railroad company, appellants vs. the United States. This was a suit brought by the railroad company (a land grant road) to recover the balance alleged to be due for tho transportation of the United States mails. The amount- sued for is tiie difference between the sum recievod by the claimant for carrying the mail fr u m July 1, 1873 to June 30,1880, and the sum that it would hnve received had the rate of compensation prevailed up to June 30, 1870, been continued for the next four years. The company contends that It. has virtually a contract wit h the government which should have prevented the postmaster-general from changing the rate of compensation. The court holds that where no collateral stipulations are made and no duration of time is pro scribed, but service is exacted simply from legislation growing out of the acceptance of tho condition of a land grant, it rests in the discretion of tho postmaster-genera! to change the price from time to time an in his judgment the public interest may require. It would be against,all analogies to hold that a continuance of service after the, termination of a written contract for four years creates an obligation of renewed contract, not merely upon like compensa tion, but for the same duration of time. There is no principle that could justify tho implica ion. Tlie judgment of the circuit court is affirmed. Opinion by Justice Field. I.'m-le Sum's Money Hogs.

The til-nut TcliTihnnc Fun™ Fuming Up. , Washington, November 1.—Motions were made in the United States supreme court to-day to advance and hear together immediately after the February recess all the cases notv on tho docket of this court which involve the great telephone contro versy. Counsel stated to the court that the records of tlie»i cases comprise 25,000 octave pages of printed matter, and that the argument, if all the cases be heard to gether, will occupy a week or more. The numbers and titles of the eases are as fol lows: No. 112, Amos E.

The court took the motions under advisement. Thu records in tl.o eases are the most vo luminous ever presented to the court ami compose* enough of the record to supply all the justices in the single case of tlie People’s Telephone Co. against tlie Amer ican Bell Telephone Co. with an amount which will occupy nearly fifty cubic feet, of spaee. NEW COINS OF OLD ONES. Small FJmtii;t> Will Soon lie I’lenty—ill I’.n'N of the Fouiiti-y Want It. Washington, October 29.—There is an unusual presence of new-looking bright nickels in Washington just now, and in other parts of tlie country too. If you look at them closely, however, you will see that thev are not new, but ihat the edges show that they have been in service tor some time. Uncle Sam, it seems, has been rubbing them up. They ure old ones that ea e back to the sub-treasuries, and were redeemed and were lying about waiting to be recast. But as there was no authority to recast them, and there is a great demand for smull change they are be ing cleaned up and furnished to the many people who wnnt them. They are in great demand. Gold coins are plentiful and silver dollars are a drug, but the mod est one cent bronze and the bandy live cent nickel coins are in the most demand and come to the front, by the force oi cir cumstances, as indices of the reviving business of the country and important factors in its awakening prosperity. A year ago application for these minor coins began to come in, but as their coinage had been discontinued for some time and none were on hand, negative answers were uec- I essarily returned. i’.it- l-'hjl uieipbia mint is now beginning to make new pennies mid nickels, under the authority given by congress in the closing hour., of the session, and the de mand for them is prodigious. The acci dentally premature announcement by the department that the mint could furnish the coins, Lrought to light a pressing need of them in all parts of the country to facili tate local transactions everywhere, small change being very scarce, hindering small sales and embarrassing the exa.-.t payment of wages. This is the uniform testimony from all points of the compass, all appli cants being equally earnest and empnatie in their desire to be accommodated. In addition to the staple demand from the northern states, there are urgent applica tions for them from the Rocky mountain region and the Pacific coast, and the south ern states, having learned the value of these coins in the small economies of life, are desirous to use them as a circulating medium, although they were formerly re jected. Tne ( liInure,fill f lien Strike. Chicago. November 1.—The threatened strike among the beef men at the stock yards was commenced this morning. Nearly fiOO men are now out from the slaughter houses of G. F. Swift & Co. and Nelson Morris. Ttie trouble is over the adoption of the ten hour system. The men refusing to work two extra hours without additional pay. In these houses there are no hogs killed and tlie employes say they cannot accept the ten hour sys- i tem." Each of the firms employ about I 3090 men and at present many of those are ; congregated about the streets and on the I corners near the houses, but there is as yet no indication of any trouble. Tin re is a great deal of excitement but the men are orderly ami insist, that no act of theirs wii) precipitate any trouble. There is no in dication that force will be called upon to protect the two houses, but it is yet too early to determine tho intention of the two' firms. At 9 o’clock everything is qniet. Chicago, November 1.—Further par ticulars from the stock yards strike are to the effect that Swift's men sent a com- mliteo to him on Saturday and insisted on having an increase of 50 cents per day should the firm return to the ten hour system, and this was agreed to. This morning when tho beef butchers went to work they found that Foreman Welder, of Swift's, had discharged James Mathewson, one of the committeemen. They also found that the wages of the laborers had not been increased, and so they struck. They insist now on having Mathewson re instated and also on a return to eight hours a day. Oil hearing that Swift’s men wore oil’, the beef butchers employed by Nelson Morris went out. The crowd went down to Smith’s machine shop and compelled the men there to strike. After this they went to Armour’s for tho purpose of calling his men out, but tills move was anticipated by the Arm, who got a force of police to guard the principal entrances, and the crowd was kept away. The strikers arranged to bold a meeting during tiie day. A member of t he executive com mittee told a reporter that unless tiie two firms gave in, all employes-in the yards would be called out. MORE TALK OF A TREATY. The Fuuaifiuti I-ov.Tinner.I to Submit a New Dvaf. Ottawa, Ontario October 31.—It i3 un derstood that an effort will soon be made by the dominion government to induce the American government to reconsider the draft of the proposed extradition treaty between Canada ami tho United States. Several new amendments calculated to prove acceptable will be submitted. In official circles here it is stated that the last draft wa3 deliberately rejected by a small clique on the ostensible ground that it might affect political liberty, although it was exp-essly provided that the draft should not. cover political offenses. The federal gover.inient is opposed to the pres ent conaition of affairs, aiid would readily agre -. o cay measure rendering the present harbor of rofttpe to erimi a Is impossible. The iv.,u. .Hr. Thompson, minister ol iiwli.-e, said to the Times’ correspondent this evening. “I am heartily in fiver of the cir.iif, rejected by tlie American somite, vrhit h in the punt steadily refused to re ceive or discuss any proposed amendment to the existing trea iea. Communications have passed between Ottawa and Wash ington frem time to time, but so far with out avail. Tlie last draft enlarged tho list of extraditable offences to a gratifying ex tent. I trust that a treaty calculated to settle all disputed points between the two oountries and render, tbeir mutual relations more intimate and cordial will be adopted ere long.” CANADA BECOMES CiViL. The GoTeraraent Ki-tnily Fines In a Test Schooner Fupl lira. Halifax, October 31.—Consul-general Phelan received an official document from the. department of customs to day which will doubtless form an important factor in other cares of American schooners', and in dicates a marked change in Canadian treatment of American fishing vessels. Some weeks ago tlie American fchoonnr Pearl Nelson put into Aricbut tor shelter, iler captain and entire crew belonged to tho place, and as one of the men lmd oi.xi i during the voyage .arid iiis comrades .vant- I ed to convoy the sad news to ids bereaved j widow and family, the crew went ashore ! early in tlie morning before the vessel re ported at the custom lienee. For this she | was seined and fined $200. | The department now remits this flue. Ii | is difficult to see bow tlie department tan I refuse to remit tlie tines imposed on ether [ American vessels under similar cireun:- j stances. Consul-General Phelan lakes the i ground that there is no law whatever to ! punish an American vessel for allowing men to come ashore before reporting, and he claims that the action of tho authori ties in the Pearl Nelson ease is simply sus taining the Canadian law, which has been violated by minor Canadian officials. Tiie remission of this fine, together witli the fact that the Elcuzer Boynton, seized at Liverpool on Sunday, was released with out a fine, looks ns if Canadian law’ would hereafter be administered in a different spirit. Consul Phelan, during an interview with Minister of Customs Borrell yester day, arranged that all American vessels requiring necessaries of life may obtain them anywhere in the province without, special permission in each ease from Ot ta wa. Five seiners are now in port getting supplies. They prefer coming to Halifax to being humbugged by sub-collectors at the out-ports. The evidence against tiie Gloucester schooner Moro Castle is so conflating that Minister Borrell has appointed Inspector j Hill to make a special report on the whole case. Consul Phelan says the affidavits of captains and crew show that the Moro Castle has not been in the port of Chester for three years, and could not, therefore, possibly be guily of smuggling there in 1884. The counsel will endeavor to get the vessel put into the admiralty court, aud thus compel the government to prove the other charges. Miniate Borrell denies that the Cana- dim govT.r.-.nicnt apologized to the United Stat-.s for Quigley’s act in hauling down the stars and stripes from the Marion I Grimes. When asked why it was that j Quigley administered the law so much more rigorously than ail other cruiser cap- | tains and collectors of customs, he said | Quigley was simply doing liis duty and en- 1 forcing the law as it was on tlie statute book. A BLOODY DEED. Nuoichty Diiuols Comes to the Front Aeiiln Witii » Bloody Story of Guilty Low. Chicago, November 1.—A special to the * News from Wichita, Kansas, says: Lee Mosier was brought to this city last even ing and confined in the county jail charged with murder. He was riding in a farm wagon with Richard Lalier and It. E. Amer when he pluced a double barrelled shot gun at Laller’s back and fired, killing him instantly. The murderer who is not over 19 years of age confesses the crime, I and alleges that he was hired to do the | deed by Laller’s young wife and her former husband, who promised to meet him here I last evening and pay him for the job. They failed to appear, however, and there : is no clue to their whereabouts. Tho Russian Bear and the English Lion Gnashing Their Toeth Above.

Tiunova, November 1.—Nearly all of 550 deputies were represented in the sabranfo, including thirtv adherents of Zankoff and Turkish deputies in national costumes. The calling ofthe names of the deputies murdered at Dnbnitza were re ceived with solemn expressions of regret. ZnnkoflUes appeared for the purpose of protesting against the illegality of tho assembly. The sabranje opens with a despondent feeling. In view of Europe’s apathy to Bulgarian interests it is believed to be useless to struggle against Russia’s ascendancy, and Bulg iria is willing to ac cept .almost any terras of compromise. RUSSIAN OPPRESSION. Sofia, November T.—At. tho meeting of the sobr.anje to-day M. Zilloff was elected prosidiugoffloer. English and Italian agents attended the meeting. Gen. Kaulbars has refused to accept the reply of tho regency to his ultimatum and will leave Sofia. He threatens to bombard tiie barracks and tho government buildings at Varna if any opposition is offered to the debarkation of Russians at that place. IT IS ALL UNTRUE. St. Petersburg, November 1.—Both I he Novoe Vremia and Novoste declare that the opening ofthe sabranje is u fresh anti- Rup'-inn demonstration, which jeopardizes the success of General Kaulbars’ negotia tions with tho Bulgarian government, and may render the dispatch of Russian mcn- of-war to Varna fruitless. The Novoe Vremia says: “The Bulgarian people are not, a political factor to bo reckoned with the army of Bulgaria, which is tlie only power that lias hitherto been controlled by the regency. The army might be reduced to a band of armed po litical adventurers who would not shrink from the most desperate tneamms to save themselves and their instigators.” Also continuing tlie paper says: A settle ment to conform witii Russia’s intention must not cost ltusaia more than that, in if- ter is worth, and all depends on finishing it! in one way nr auothor with the regency. We believe that the best course to pursue is to discontinue forthwith negotiations with tho regency enough words have been wasted, and now ltusHin must ant. THEY’LL JUMP IT.

An Active Day Conutderlng BrnwbitckH. New York, Novo m her t.—To-day’s stock market, was moderately active with a writ distributed business throughout, and not withstanding that to-day was holiday in London and that to-morrow is holiday here, which would presumably have the effect ol decreasing the amountof business, transactions to-day were considerably in excess of last week’s daily average. Tlie feeling w. s almost unive rsally in favor of higher prices, and everything on the list showed an advance when tlie bidding up of many in the last hour caused considera ble selling, ami in some cases early gains were lost. The most important feature of the dny was tho advance in stocks ef fected by a deal going on in New England. The opening war firm, and prices showed advances over Saturday’s figures, ranging from 4 to fq Tlie market was moderately active and firm and so continued until the last hour, when there was a free selling and Die market closed weak. Advances are in a majority this evening, and St. Paul and Duluth, with a los3 of 1(, shows tho only important decline. Manhattan is up 3.7, New England 2,, and Richmond and West Point 1J, on considerable activity. Other advances are for fractions only. Sales, 331.000 shares. Surveyor Beultie shot. New York, November 1.—Surveyor Beattie was shot about noon to-day in his office at the custom house by a discharged inspector, who fired five or six shots at him. Particulars cannot be obtained as yet, nor is it known whether or not the wounds are fatal. New York, November 1.—The survey or’s would-be assassin is Louis Bieral, a man who gained some distinction in the war of tho rebellion. He was for about a dozen years attached to the custom house. About a week ago tho surveyor dismissed him from the service on its being proven that he was in the habit of exacting money from poor emigrants at Castle Gar den, where be was lately stationed. The specified charge on which he was removed was compelling an emigrant to pay $2 duty on u sewing matliine. Ilo gained ac cess to the surveyor’s private office shortly after noon, while the surveyor was alone, fired several shots and rushed from the room, ilo was seen and followed by i. crowd; and growing frightened lest he tome to harm at his pursuers’ hands, he ran into the arms of a policeman and beg ged to be arrested. Beattie has two wounds, one through the hand and one through tho thigh. The latter is the most serious, but at present don’t seem likely to prove fatal. One Will Counteract tho Other.

GRISWOLD MUST PAY. A l.miK-Stnnillnir Suit Brought to 11 Close. Newport, R. I., October 31.—In the United States circuit court to-day the equity case ol Mr. John N. A. Griswold, of New York, against Mr. Rowland Hazard ami other creditors of tlie now famous Credit Mobilier, were entered and the bill of complaint was dismissed with costs for defendants. The plaintiff's demurrers, if settled in his favor, would relieve him from liability to pay tho large amount of money which tlie defendants claimed from him In the state courts. Originally the title ol the suit was Isaac P. Hazara and others against Thomas C. Durant and others,aud tlie allegations were that Durant while vice-president of the credit mobilier committed certain frauds upon the corpo ration. Tlie amount named in the papers was $63,735, but it is understood that this represented but an exceedingly small por tion of what was involved, representing only the principle which was to lie tested. Durant was in 1868, when the suit was brought, on a yachting excursion with a large party of indies and gentlemen who were here in that summer, and upon their landing on Saturday night, August 22, Durant was arrested and put in jail. One of liis friends at once sought for his release, and urged Mr. Griswold to become bail for Durant’s appearance. Mr. Griswold states that ho understood the bond which he was asked to give was simply a ne exeat one, but it is now claimed that tlie bond was not only for Durant’s uppeurauee, but that it ol)ligated Griswold to pay the amount of the judgment if Durant did not. A few months ago the case was entered in the circuit court by Mr. Griswold, who asked that tlie Hazards be restrained from bring ing a suit against him for the amounts in volved, Durant being dead. The ourt dismissed Griswold’s appeal for such re straint upon the Hazards, und now he comes before the court upon demurrers. This bill of complaint which was dis missed by the court was drawn by the late Secretary of State Frclinghuysen. The important deintvMers which worn argued Vv.'e first, lack ul,jurisdiction ofthe state curts for the reason that, according to the : >vs of the ’a 1 e of Rhode Island r. stnuk E’tder ci". -'M i.i Vr.iT.ain a suit i:i law or »iit.tr I i .1 •! mi it rigo.t of action exist!/ g ia i.to coiporation itself, and in which 'lia corporation in the appionrlnte fTalr.f'K nu ll ss 1 Imre exists in the foiindv.inii cfUio |ii! some action or threatened actio of aie managing bourd of directors oy t.rv- ” a which is lie,fund the authority conf'irtd ■ui them by their charter- or o'.!,-r muroa of organization.

The second demurror was to tho effect that tlie official receiver of the Credit Mobilier gave Durant a re- ! lease from any and all claims tho corpora- I tion had against him, and, it was claimed, timt reirr.scn tho bond which Griswold gave, liis release was the outcome of a suit brought in tho circuit court of the United Stales for thn eastern district of ! Pennsylvania in 1875. By direction of the I court last named this release was given to Durant by Oliver A men on. October 27, 1891. Mr. GrhwoUi will now have to pay the I amount of the bend, with interest. SAM SMALL'S WATCH, I .R'lvcler Want-. Pity fur li .Uni Sulim Slhernir*. Cincinnati, October 30.—An attachment which was issued yesterday for a gold watch worth $150 and silverware worth $200, purchased la ,1- v. inter by Sam Smull, the revivalist. oi’Abn.ham Hi. inau, jewel er, aud not paid for, lias created considera ble l alk here, particularly aiming ehureh- going people. The story is that in addi tion to tlie watch and silverware Sam Small bought diamonds to the value of $700. The diamonds were paid for, aud a note for .50 days was given for the other articles. Smull writes from Toronto that tlie revival work has been so pressing upon him thnQhe forgot all about tlie note. The Rev. Dr. Joyce, of St. Paul’s Metho dist Episcopal church, speaking of the mutter to-day, said : “ 1 have no doubt that Small lias a mania for purchasing such things, a fact which a keen douler could, no doubt, very easily discover. I know him very well, and I have never seen any thing in his conduct that was not consis tent- with his Christian character. Nearly every man has some weakness that it is difficult to resist, and that appears to be SraaJl’s. But he is honest, and I don't think any iear was felt by Steiuau of the loss of bis money. I think had lie come to me I could have assured him I bat 1 would get the money from Small for him. 1 know there have been reports that these men Small and Sam Jones have been loose in their expenditures, but I happen to know that Jones has expended $45UO in charities ; that he is now support ing four young men in college for the ministry, who otherwise would be unable to graduate, and tliut Jones gave the $1500 which purchased the camp ground at Car- tersville, Uu. So, you see, liis expenditures are in tlie right 'direction. Small will be here on November 3. A man with his weakness ought to be very careful with whom he deals. I have no doubt he will pay the bill when he arrives.” Thi- Fit) bylhfKea. Charleston, November 1.—There was a shock at Summerville at 8:25 this morn ing but not severo. All is quiet here. The spiring discovered in the custom house and yard yesterday proves to have been caused by breaks in water pipes. Ilom-st Butter Buy unit Buy.
