The largest number were for Lyons, he receiving 530 votes in Camden county and twenty in Charlton. Bacon receii ed 168, the others from one to twenty. At the conclusion of the count the joint ses sion adjourned. In the house Mr. late, of Pickens, moved the appointment ot a joint committee to notify the governor elect and ascertain when it would suit him to be inaugurated. Adopted. The house and senate adjourned until 10 o clock to- of submitting matters of arbitration to a large assemblage with oomplex interests was clearly demonstrati d in the mass meeting called to-night to pass upon the fusion ticket nominated b.v the committee of fifty. The very genius of arbitration is to withdraw the matter of difference from the opposing parties and submit it to men of known fairness and probity, who can represent the interests ot both dispassion ately mid act for the common good. Even in a committee of fifty it was necessary to appoint a conference committee of ten to arrive at a harmonious conclu sion. The wise course would have been for the committee of fifty to have signed an address to the peo ple setting forth tlieir action and calling upon those who had Atlanta’3 interest at heart to lay aside personal preferences and prejudices and unite for the common good. Instead of doing this the report of the committee was submitted to-night, to a tremendous mass meeting, which broke, up in disorder and dissatisfaction. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Collier and the report read. A motion was made to take it up one man at a time, and a substitute was offered to adopt it as a whole. J. S. Lester, a member of the committee of fifty who didn’t vote for the fusion ticket, offered a minority report which substituted the names of Jacob Haas for J. H. Boynton, in the second ward, to repre sent the foreign element, and John Me- Guirk for L. B. Mason, in the fourth ward, to represent the labor element. Mr. Frank L. Haralson opposed voting on the ticket ns a whole, declaring there were men upon it who could not be ram med down his throat. Mr. A. H. Cox, chairman of the prohibi- ,ion five in the conference committee of ten which agreed upon the ticket, argued earnestly in its favor, weighing the unfair ness of agreeing to a part of the ticket and refusing part of it. John Rauschenburg and D. H. Kent, Knights of Labor, urged the placing of workingmen on the ticket. Smith Clayton urged taking up the ticket one man at a time. Mr. Hoke Smith followed on the same line with Mr. Cox, explaining that H. M. Bentell had been placed on the ticket as a labor representative at the request of that element. Mr. Henry Grady urged the adoption of the whole ticket, not in the interest of any faction, but of Atlanta. '‘It was not a ques tion of labor or capital, Jew or Gentile, but one which appealed lo all. Ifonemanis taken off the compact is broken and the agreement is disrupted. I appeal to you as Atlantians, as men who love this city, the best city on God’s green earth, ou whose old red hills you have pinned your eternt 1 faith, to come forward like men and stand by this agreement.” At the conclusion of Mr. Grady's re marks the wildest confusion ensued. Mr. Frank laralsou, Pledger and two other negroes all claimed the speaker’s stand at once. The audience shouted “previous question,” “Pledger,” “Haralson,” and dozens of other things, and everybody yelled at once. For flv . minutes the con fusion was overwhelming. There were motions to adjourn and calls for the pre vious question. Chairman Collier, at the top of his voice, put the motion to adjourn. There was seemingly no difference in the vote. “Then,” cried Mr. Collior, “the question fs on adopting the report of the oommii- tee of fifty as a whole.” The ayes were deafening; the noes seemed equal in vol ume. Chairman Collier cried the ayes have it. end the meeting broke up. The Knights of Labor held a meeting af terwards and endorsed the fusion ticket, with the exception of three men. They substituted Haas and McGuirk for Boyn ton and Nelson und J. J. Woodson for Frank Rice. They will advocate the ticket thus amended. Had the fusion ticket been submitted at the ballot box instead of to a mass meeting it would have been' elected 1 entirely by a large majority. Now it is a ! matter of doubt. Action of the Unit road CuiuinisMlmi. Atlanta, November 4.—The railroad ! commission to-day considered circular 78, and all ; r reviewing the ease Bay: “In view \ of these considerations the commissioners I decided that they will not interfere with ! the present existing local freight tariff and classification except in so far as to insert ' certain articles not now contained therein, | and to adjust the classification of a rmm- . ber of articles that arc now out of line with the existing state of business.” Secretary McPherson, of the Republican Committee.

HE IS MISTAKEN. It Wasn't Free Trade nor Protection, Bat Civil Service Reform. Pittsburg, November 4.—Jas. Jarrett, ex-president of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron and Steel Workers has re turned from the west where he has been conducting a tariff campaign against Mor rison and other free traders. In an inter view Jarrett stated that he did not go on a mission of his own, but was sent as a rep resentative of the American Tin Plate As sociation, of which he is secretary. So far as lie could learn the iron and steel manu facturers of this section had not contri buted f. cent toward the defeat of the free traders in the we3t. Appeals for money were made to friends In Pittsburg but they were not answered. When asked about the sentiment in regard to the tariff in Illinois, Jarrett replied : “In ail the two weeks which I spent there, I did not find one man in favor of free trade. The tariff feeling is rapidly growing through the west und south.” . “I suppose that tlie new iron mills in Bir mingham, Ala., and other parts of the south aroused this fueling ?” Yes,” said Jarrett. “J. found that to be the case ail through the south when I went i there two months ago, and as a i illustration of the change of sentiment j there, I may mention the case of an old | farmer I met in Tennessee, who told ine that before the iron mills were started in i his vicinity he could not get §10 an acre for his land. He was then a free trader. Since then he can get §150 per acre and i now he is a tariff man.” ....... Jarrett, in conclusion, attributed the de feat of Congressmen Frank Hurd Morrison I and Randolph Tucker to the growing sentiment in favor of tariff in the south and west. m The Peuiiwly Fuml. Boston, November 4.—The annual re- port of the acting general agent, Dr. Sami j uel A. Green, of the Peabody educationa- fund, shows that §62,365 has been distrib uted during the past year, §20,000 going to i scholarships, §10,700 to normal schools, §io,265 to institutes, §8900 to publir schools, and the remainder toother educational in- | stitutions. Dr. Green, the secretary, has been requested by tlie trustees to serve as i general agent another year. Thi< Atlanta Row. Atlanta, Ua., November 4.—The folly Glass Roys Arr Not Toys. Salem, N. J., November 4.—The boys employed in Craven Brothers’ Glass Works j here to day demanded an increase of wages and on their demand being refused, quit work in a body, throwing the blowers and others out of work and stopping tlie facto- . ries. Tlie firm claim they are paying the ; highest average wages, and that they can ; replace most of the boys by men at the: same wages. Both sides seem determined to hold out. Chicago, November 4.—The following is believed to be a correct list of the Illi nois congressmen elect with the possible exception of General Post in the tenth district. Worthington, democrat, still claims that district bv a narrow majority: First district—R. W. Durham, republi can. , Second diasrlct—Frank Lawler, demo crat. Third district—W. E. Mason, republican. Fourth district—George E. Adams, re publican. Seventh district—T. J. Henderson, re publican. Eighth district—Ralph Plumb, republi can. Ninth district—L. F. Payson, republican. Tenth district—Philip Sidney Post, re publican. Eleventh district—W. II. Gest, republi can. Twelfth diatrict—G. A. Anderson, dem ocrat. Thirteenth district—W. M. Springer, democrat. Fourteenth district—J. H. Rowell, re publican. Fifteenth district—J. G. Cannon, repub lican. Sixteenth district—Silas Z. Landes, dem ocrat. Seventeenth district — Edward Lane, democrat. Eighteenth district—Jehu Baker, repub lican. Nineteenth—R. W. Townshend, demo crat. Twentieth—John R. Thomas, republi can. Returns in the Becond district have been corrected by every means within reach and the result is a majority of thirty-one for Lawler. Gleason (democrat and united labor), his opponent, still refuses to ac knowledge hfmself beaten, and the matter will have to be determined by an official canvass. New York. New York, November 4.—Considerable uncertain’y attends the election in the third congressional district. Deacon S. V. White, republican, has been credited with the victory until to-day. Bell, democrat, now leads White 19 votes, with two dis tricts to hear from. K I'ntucky. Cincinnati, November 4.—Nothing defi nite can be stated in regard to Carlisle’s election until the official count is com pleted. This will begin Friday afternoon. The Times Star’s specials this morning do not change the outlook, which is consid ered favorable to Carlisle by a close vote. Saw Hampshire. Concord, N. if , November 4. —The election of McKinney, democrat, to con gress in the first district over Haynes, re publican, is conceded by a plurality of about 150. This is a democratic gain of one member, and equally divides the New Hampshire delegation. New Jersey. Trenton, November 4.—The result ns to the legislature is still in doubt, both demo crats and republicans claiming to have a majority on joint ballot. A recount has been demanded in several legislative dis tricts. I mi inna. Indianapolis. November 4.—It will lake an official count to decide t he standing of tlie legislature. The democrats claim it by 2 majority and the republicans by 6. The News this evening publishes a list, not official, giving tlie republicans 2 majority. There is no change in the congressional delegation. Holman’s majority is about 700. North Curoliiiii. Raleigh, November 4.—The second congressional district is carried by the re publicans, Abbott, colored, being elected. Virginia. Staunton, Va., November 4.—The re publican majority continues to grow in the tenth district. Yast, for congress, now claims 200 majority. Fliirlilti Never Fid In. Jacksonville, Nevember 4.—Pendle ton, the labor candidate in the first Florida district, is not elected as he vvouid appear to be from estimate t made from the com plexion of the next house of representa tives by the secretary of the republican congressional cominitte. On tlie contrary his competitor Davidson, democrat, is re elected b.y at least 3000 majority. The leg islature is overwhelmingly democratic, thus ensuring the election of a democratic senator to succeed Jones. Meriii-rsnn Makes a Computation. Washington, November 4.— Edward | McPherson, secretary of the republican congressional committee, makes tlie foi- lowing computation from the returns re- | eeiveo up to 9 o’clock this evening of tlie i political complexion of the house of retire- | sentatives of the fiftieth congress: “The j returns so far as received indicate tlie elec- lion of 154 republicans, 159 democrats, five I labor iin.. pi ndeiits, six doubtful and one vacancy, n t ital of 325. The doubtful are, j one in Illinois (Landers), one in Ken- ! tucky (Carlisle), onu in Ohio (Camp- ! bell), and three in Missouri (Clardy, Glover and Mansur). The labor and inde- I pendents are one in Florida (Pendleton), j one in Indiana (Marsh), one in Iowa (An- 1 derson), one in Virginia (Hopkins), oue in Wisconsin (Smith). If the democrats get | four of the doubtful districts they will 1 have 163 or a majority of|the|house.” Me- j Pherson says the attitude of the democ- I racy toward the present administration is similar to that of the republicans toward the administration of President Hayes and that many dissatisfied democrats voted the labor ticket. Labor he thinks will be an organized factor in the political contests of the future, and the labor vote must be taken into serious consideration. Phi) Thompson, secretary of the democratic committee, says the democrats will have a good working majority in the house. An Mini to Philadelphia's Ntrlke. Philadelphia, November 4.—Another important conference was held this after- | noon between, the members of the aid com mittee of the Philadelphia Manufacturers’ 1 Association and the general executive j board of the Knights of Labor, by which the Frankford troubles are practically set- \ lied. Tlie meeting continued in session j all the afternoon, adjourning finally about ’ 10 o’clock to-night. The Knights of Labor I were represented by General Master Work man Powderly and Messrs. Hayes, A.yles- worth and Carleton of the gene ral executive b -ard, while nearly ’ all the members of the aid committee I ; were present on behalf of the manufactur ers. As the result of the conference tlie following statement was given out: At a meeting of the aid committee of tlie Philadelphia Manufacturers’ Association | the executive board of the Knights of Lniior withdrew all grievances of tlie ^strikers at Troth’s mills with tlie excep tion of one relating to tlie question of wages which will lie referred to arbitration. This was agreed to by the aid committee. This practically settles the difficulties at Troth’s mills. It was also agreed that I he general executive board of the Knights of Labor in connection with the aid commit tee of the Philadelphia Manufacturers’ Association have formulated a set of rules Which shall govern them in the settlement of all further difficulties between employer and employers to the end of hereafter pre venting strikes and lockouts. BAFFLES THE DOCTORS. The Joints of ii Mini's Roil) Torn IntifNoIld Hone. Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 3.—A physician ef this city lvcontly visited Jonathan Bass, Of Cumbria, Niagara county, whose case is believed to bo without a parallel in medi cal records. Mr. Bass is 56 years of age. In the summer of 4848 he was seized with a sharp pain in the bottom of his right finot. No cause for it could be discovered. The foot and leg became greatly swollen, and during the next nine years all th<J joints in his body became slowly anchylosed, or grown iiito solid bone. In 1857 he was placed on an invnlid’s bed and has never been removed from it. So completely consolidated are all his joints, including the spine, that he may lie lifted by the placing ofa hand under his head ami one under his heels, his weight being but 75 pounds. The bones of the fingers of the right hand, of the entire left hand and of the toes of noth feet have been entirely absorbed, and the flesh of the fingers and toes hangs down like fringe. Mr. Bass’ jaws are tightly locked, but he manages to eat the heartiest meals without mastica tion and without suffering inconvenience. Pork and other meat is cut in thin strips, which he draws into his mouth by sucking through the narrow opening between his upper and lower teeth. He eats tlie fattest meat. Since 1869 ue has been totally blind. His heart is five inches lower than the usual position of that organ, but is perfectly Sound, ns nro all of the invalid’s vital parts. The nails on hiB fingers have grown to nearly a flint in length. Mr. Bass is a man of more than average intelligence, and keeps himself posted on all questions of the day. Ho converses with ease, and is lively and cheerful. His constitutional health is so good that physicians agree that he will live beyond the allotted time of the moBt active man.

Gentry published a card in one of the local papers Tuesday in weich he repudiated Congress man Heard, and gave as a reason that the latter had pandered to the Knights of Labor. Yesterday morning Heard pub lished a card denouncing the charge that he pandered to the Knights of Labor os on infamous falsehood, and asserting that this refusal to recommend Gentry’s Hon-iu-law for postmaster of Sedalia was the true cause of the difficulty between them. Shortly after 1 o’clock, T. W. Cloney, son- in-law of Major Gentry, stepped into the office of Sichcr’s hotel where the congress man and liis brother were seated. Heard spoke pleasantly to Cloney, who turned The ChlciiKO ,Strikers. Chicago, November 4.—There were no fhrther strikes at the stock yards this morning, although it is intimated that the men ut the other houses) besides Swift’s and Morris' may go out,as many of them are dissatisfied at being compelled to work ten hours. Swift and Morris continue to ship cattle to the east to be killed, and the former lias a strong force of men at work. The strikers are very quiet, and the only act of violence on their part was an attack last night on Henry Levy, Nelson Morris’ nephew, who was beaten almost into insensibility on Forty-third street viaduct.

The congressman was on his feet in an instant, wrested the cane from his assuilant nod threw him to the floor. Friends separated the combatants and endeavored to effect a reconciliation. They afterwards came together in the hallway, when Cloney mane a motion to wards his hip pocket as if to draw a re volver. Heard anticipated him, and culled upon Cloney to defend himself. The latter threw up his hands exclaiming, i am unarmed. Heard remarked to him that the matter might as well be settled now os at any time and advised Cloney to arm himself. The latter left the building and Heard returned to his office. Five minutes later Major Wm. Gentry TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN NEW ORLEANS. Shreveport Physician Slays tlin Allegntl Riitrayur of IIIn Wife.

London, November 4.—The St. James Gazette says of the vote for George: “It is a significant and unpleasant fuel that, in the great American city of New York such a large proportion 'of workingmen «ru prepared to vole for the. gospel of con- Tfscirtioii. The election should cause all j respectable Americans to forget trumpery I of party fights and political indifferontism I j and face the now danger that is I threatening the commonwealth.” j The Fall Mall Gazette, speaking of the j mayoralty contest in New York, says: “The vote for Henry George is in far the most important political event of the day. . It is a message of hope from the new I world to the old—an unexpected light bursting forth in a dark place.

New Orleans, November 2.—Dr. T. G. Ford, of Shreveport, La., shot and killed John C. Kirkpatrick, a drug clerk of the same town, at noon to-day, in this city. The tragedy occurred at the comer of St. Charles and Canal Btreets, in the presence of a large number of people. The tragedy grew out of tho alleged betrayal of Dr. Ford’s wife by Kirkpatrick. About five months ago Kirkpatick induced Mrs. Ford to leave her husband and children and go with him.
