Mr. Harriton’a Explanation Still Drags It's Length Along. lBportrtt Blits Introduced In the Legislature. Whst Our Sulims are Doing anrt:Saylug—John Tyler Cooper Elected Mayor of Atlanta. Special to Enquireii-Sun. Atlanta, December 1.—At 10 o’clock the house was called to order by Speaker Little, and prayer was offered by Chaplain Branham. 1 Mr. Olive, of Oglethorpe, moved to re consider the action of the house in passing a bill to incorporate the Georgia Fire In surance Company of LaGrange He snhl the bill limited the liability of the Stock holders so closely that it did not sufficient ly protect the policy holders. , Mr. Pittman, of Troup, introducer of the bill thought it should be the policy of the state to encourage home insurance com- S anies. He thought the incorporators un- er this bill were worth $500,000, and their liability under the bill is ample to protect all policy holders. Mr. Olive thought the line should be drawn closely on such acts of incorpora tion. The people have the right to look to the legislature for protection in this mat ter, and the legislature should be very care ful bow it grants charters. Mr. Felton, of Bibb, thought the bill should be reconsidered. The law requires insurance companies not chartered by Georgia to make deposits with the tieas- urer before they can do business in the state, but does not require homo compa nies to make this deposit because it pre sumes they must have ample assets and perfect liability before they cau secure a charter from the state. This company seeks a charter when it proposes to pay in only $20,000 before beginning to do busi ness. It should pay in at least $100,000. Mr. Featherstoue, of Floyd, opposed the motion to reconsider. He saw no danger in the act and thought ample security was afforded policy holders. Mr. Lamar, of Richmond, opposed the motion to reconsider. He thought the bill gave ample security. Mr. Arnheim, of Dougherty, thought the bill ought to be reconsidered. Ho thought all such companies should have ample capital. The motion to reconsider prevailed. A message from the governor was read upon the subject of the convict lease, recommending the establishment of ex perimental farms to be worked by con victs. Upon motion of Mr. Rawls, the portion of tho message referring to the manufac ture of fertilizers was referred to the com mittee on agriculture, and the portion relative to the penitentiary system was, on motion of Mr. McCord, of Richmond, re ferred to the committeee on penitentiary. ■Under the suspension of the rules, Mr. Evans, of Washington, secured the third reading and passage of a bill to regulate registration in Washington county. Air. Calvin, of Richmond, offered a reso lution that present session be prolonged beyond constitutional forty days, as long as public business may demand, and on his request the resolution was laid upon the table. A motion by Mr. Wheeler, of Walker, to fix the hour of meeting at 9 a. m. instead of 10 was defeated, after a spirited debate, by a vote of 53 yeas to 71 uays. By Air. Wilcox, of Ware—A bill to pro vide for registration of voters of Ware county. By Mr. DuBose, of Wilkes—A bill to in corporate the Washington and Elberton ‘railroad. Adjourned to 10 a. in. Thursday. w°hTcHh lnfi h in . th u B ,F nitp(1 States court in th ” stockholders of the Marietta 5?,?, North Georgia railroad are parties, S™,™ originally brought in Judge ® and in whicli Judge Fain SfaniT because Judge Brown was disqualified. The case was transferred :? tlle .. United States court upon the application of Mr. Eager. Because Brown was disqualified in that ease *p “ad been brought before Judge rain is the reason of my recentapplication lor an injunction against the state. The application for an Injunction against the treasurer was made before Judge Fain. I man t know Judge Brown’s 'disabilities had been removed. I had nothing to do with Hall s resolution ordering the work stopped until an examination was made. It was on this resolution that Dr. Felton made his speech, in which he referred to Sir Christopher Wrenn’s work on oolitic limestone. Questioned by Judge Fain—There was an allegation in the bill for injunction against the state treasurer which I carried before you (Judge Fain), that Judge Brown was disqualified. You knew nothing of the bill before I submitted it to you, and when I presented it, said you were very busy and wished I had carried it before some other judge. ” I never saw you present at a meeting of the sub committee or in the agricultural department or in the room at the Nutiona Hotel, and never had any consultations with you on the subject of a change to Georgia marble. I never paid you a dollar in my life in any matter nor any one rep resenting you, and no one ever proposed to ihe to do so. W. K. Tewsbury sworn : I took a steno graphic report of the testimony before the senate sub-committee. Witnesses were not sworn before the committee. A large part of the testimony was documentary. I don’t think Mr. Harrison was ever pres ent at a session of the committee. The sessions were open to the public. I re garded myself as clerk of the committee and not as an employe of Air. Harrison; but when the committee adjourned over to the next term of the legislature I saw my pay was in the dim future, and as Mr. Harrison had guaranteed to pay me if they didn’t, and as I want ed the money, I struck him for the rocks. Mr. Alason’s charge that his testimony before the committee was incorrectly reported is false. I never saw Judge Fain present in the committee or the legislature.

Secretary Whitney’s Tiny Streak of Economy. A Statement of the i’ondltlton of Our Public lleht—Other Mutters. Washington, December 1.—Norman 3. Colinan, commissioner of agriculture, has to-day submitted his second annual report to the president. He describes in general terms the progress made in agriculture during recent years and the conditions which contribute to making this “the best fed nation on the globe.” He sets forth at length tho benefits derived and to be ex pected from agricultural experiment sta tions, and says be has commissioned a special agent to visit and inspect experi ment stations in order to ascertain wbat facilities already exist in this country for systematic experimentation, what has been actually accomplished, and especially wliat are the needs for future work. There can be no question, be says, of the value of these investigations and experiments if liberally supported and ably eondueted, especially in adjusting to its new condi tions the agriculture dependent upon the worn land of the northern, eastern and southern states. The stations and colleges of several states are constantly urged to enlarge experimentation beyond the present resources and often find them selves striking new leads which they can- receipts from internal revenue during the first tour months of the present fiscal year were $38,485,441, a decrease of (1,438,243 us compared with the receipts during the corresponding period of last year. There Confine* was a decrease of $2,743,554 in the collec tions from spirits; an increase of $30,877 from tobacco, an increase of $875,078 from fermented liquors and an increase of $77,104 on miscellaneous items. The ag- f regate receipts for October, 1880, were 1,701,084 less than those of 1885. The de crease was entirely In collections from spirits amounting to $2,019,054. There Was an increase ol $184,534 on beer and an increase of $74,375 on miscellaneous items. The collections from oleomargarine during October, being mainly from tho sale of special tnx stumps, were $14,852. Commissioner Miller said to-day that the receipts for the present fiscal year will be about $1,000,000 in excess of the receipts for last year, notwithstanding the large decrease shown in collections for the first quarter.

Harrison by Colonel Hammond before the investigating com mittee of the legislature was resumed to night at 7:30 o’clock. Said Mr. Harrison: “The reason I re fused to submit a bill of particulars was that I didn’t think they were wanted for the purpose of settlement, but simply lo criticise my disposition of the money used. If the” bad agreed to arbitrate the matter T should not Save objected to surrendering a bill of particulars. I don’t remember saying if I submitted a bill of particulars it Would Involve some of my friends. 1 ho only reason I could have bad on that score was my desire to shield those associated with me from all harsh crltieieitt. as I bad been charged in newspapers with lobby ing. I never paid a del lor except for legit imate expenses,! and no effort was ever made except to convince the judgment ol the legislator*. There was no appeal to any man’s cupidity. Mr. Bisaner recently applied to me for $60, fined him by Jud^e Brown upon an indictment for using ob scene language in the presence oi a fe male, to which he had pleaded guilty. I have in my hand the shorthand notes oi testimony taken before the sub-committee Chicago, December 1.—A joint meeting of the Knights of Labor and district as semblies 24 and 57, which have a member ship of about 60,000 and include all knights in the city and county, was held last night to take action concerning the trial and sentence of the condemned anarchists. The district assembly recently passed resolu tions on the subject and asked the men to endorse them. Later the body decitled that the subject was of such importance that a joint session of both assemblies should be held at which all the Knights of Labor of Conk county should be represent ed. About 409 knights were present and the following declaration of their attitude on the verdict was agreed to with only a few dissenting voices: We believe that the verdict in the recent trial condemning seven men to death and sentencing one to fifteen years imprison ment, was an outrage on common justice and an assault on iree speech and the right of the people to peacably assemble for the discussion of their grievances. We believe that there is an ever increasing sentiment among the common people of this covntry that the American courts of justice a.e too frequently manipulated in the interest of wealth and power, and that those who are poor are frequently out raged in our courts in tho name of law. Believing that the late trial was conduct ed by the prosecution with malice and predjudice utilizing as it did, as informers, the disreputable Pinkertons and the per jured Gilmers and a bailiff who declared that lie would not summon anyone as a juror wl o, in his opinion, was not in favor of hanging; we, therefore, express the hope that the supreme court ot the state of Illinois may grant a new trial, so that the ever-growing conviction among the common people, namely that courts of law are run only in the interests of the rich may not find additional proof in this CLUVERIUS’ FRIEND. A Supreme Court Judge in Ills Favor. Richmond, December 1.—Judge Hin ton’s dissenting opinion in the. Cluverius murder case was filed this evening in the supreme court of appeals. It contains seven or eight hundred words and em braces a general review of the case. The points on which the judge hinges his dis sent from the opinion oi the other mem bers of the court are: First, that the court erred in discharging Juror Larke, who, in response to questions propounded by the court, expressed bis views as to what sort of circumstantial evidence he would re- quiro to convict; second, tbe court erred in admitting as evidence the so-called Laura Curtis letter, which was an invitation to Miss Madison to spend some time here, and which was proved to have been forged by the deceased, and used to account for her absence during the period of “lying in;” mid the judge asserts that it was not proved that the prisoner had anything to do with it or any knowledge of it; third that corpus delicti had not been establish ed with the, certainty required bylaw; he did not think that murder had been proved by the evidence, nor that a motive for'it had been shown. Judge Hin ton also inclines strongly to the suicide theory, and in his concluding remarks says: “In any reBpect in which We may contemplate the few ascertained facts in this case, they are certainly not absolutely inconsistent with the innocence of the ac cused of the crime of murder.” An Atehlilshop’s Opinion, London, December 1. — Archbishop notfollow. all for want of means. In nearly all cases there is land enough and to spare owned and immediately available. But t he current expense of experiment work is very heavy. Cheap labor and appliances will not do. None of the colleges have means to keep up their ' educa tional facilities and assume new obligations of this extent and character, however well they recog nized the importance of the work. Few of the states can bo induced to make special provisions sufficient for tbe pur pose. Where state stations do not exist and colleges have begun such work, it is apparent that further provision is neces sary for their full development. Hence, the very geueral interest in the bill now before congress, for the “establishment of agricultural experiment stations in con nection with agricultural colleges,” and the prevalent opinion of its importance and the desire for its early enactment. No measure, he says, is now pending or pro posed of greater import or bearing bright er promise of deep seated and lasting ben efits to tbe agricultural interests of the United States in all their branches. But the bill he says is not free from defects, and he suggests that it be amended so us to ensure expenditure of the sum proposed to be given each state ($15,000) in establish ing or strengthening one efficient in stitution rather than by al lowing its distribution among sev eral institutions, and has failed to real ize the desired purpose in any of them. He also holds it to be highly important that provision be mads* if the bill for « central station or office at Washington to receive, criticise, digest, edit and consoli date the results obtained at the various statious and periodically promulgate the same in a form suited to the popular understanding and application. Already tho over-taxed clerical force of the depart ment. could not, ho says, properly perform this additional labor and a‘ new di vision with a competent chief and assistants he declares essential. In com menting on the buren of animal industry be describes the spread of pleuro-pneu- monia and says: Every effort possible under existing taws has been made to lo cate the diseased animals and isolate all that have been exposed. It would have been most fortunate if every animal ex posed to the disease and liable to contract it could have been summarily slaughtered and the contagion thus eradi cated. The experience of ail j countries has been that tho : malady may be thoroughly and complete- ! ly stamped in this way, and there is no j other means by which the bovine species j can be protected from its ravages. With a disease of this character at Chicago it bos been truly said that the cattle industry of this country has reached a crisis. There can be no doubt that it will be soon and widely disseminated until prompt and efficient action be instituted for its speedy suppression.

Atlanta, Ga., November 27.—An envel ope which reached the office of the gov ernor of Georgia this week, postmarked Kansas City, Mo., recalled two of tho most appalling tragedies ever recorded, in one of which a wife's honor was ruined, her betrayer slain, and her husband made a convict, while in the other a frail creature lost her life at the hands of a confirmed old roue. Xu 1874 there lived in one of the prettiest little cottages on Hunter street, In this city, the family of Colonel Sp. ih « The daughter of the household, Mis.-, Com, was just blooming into the graces of young womanhood. When young Bum Hill, the soil of an excellent family and the posses sor of abundant means, secured her hand in marriage, he was the recipient of con gratulations from every hand. Into a cottage near that of her parents Sam Hill indutced his charming wife. Their devotion towards each other in these early days of love is a tale slill told in the neighborhood. In time the carcsjof business led the husband into other eit-ie:. Ho noticed a gradually increasing despond ency in his wife. !♦ was a long time be fore the truth broke in upon him, ana when It did it was on the streets, where he heard his wife’s name freely handled. Crazed with grief he rushed home, and re pulsing bis wife’s accustomed caress, flung her roughly from him, while he poured fnrlh the revelation which had been made to him. On lmr bended knees sho con fessed all. She had been betrayed by John P. Simmons at the house of Lottie Ross. Silently he raised his weeping wife from her knees, and kissing her, left the house without a word. Down Hunter street he walked, until he reached Whitehall. There he beheld, a little in advance, the figure of John P. Simmons, lie tracked his steps through the crowd into tbe National hotel and into the bur room. Simmons stood in the net, of taking a drink when a bullet from Hill’s revolver wentcrasbing through his brain. The trial which followed was long and tedious. Tho public was shocked when Mrs. Hill entered the court room and fondled and caressed the husband who was the victim of her folly. To conclude the trial, llill made a statement full of pro testation of love for his wife, and then the pair kissed each other in open court. The sympathy which was felt tor the liusbaud gave way to disgust at such a scene, and tbe jury promptly rendered a verdict of guilty of murder. Ham Hill went up to tho supreme tribu nal only to have his sentence confirmed. Finally, when all hope had to be aban doned, Sun Hill’s friends succeeded in having him put in tbe lunatic asylum, from which be escaped later, and for six years he has been a wanderer. He first went to New Orleans, then to Corpus Christ!, Tex., and finally to the City of Mexico, following the career of a desper ate gambler. He alwaysi kept posted on home affairs, however. Regularly every week, until six months ago, a letter ad dressed to Mrs. Cora Hill would be re ceived at the Atlanta post office, and being as regularly refused by Airs. Hill, always found its way to tbe dead-letter office in Washington. Three years ago Airs, itill applied in DeKalb county superior court for a divorce.

To prevent tho spread of this scourge which has already greatly affected our foreign and inter-state commerce, additional legislation by congress is now essential. Much valuable work has already been done in Maryland, and the danger of dissemination of the contagion from that state has been greatly lessened. No Work has been done In the state of New York because it was evident that the appropriation was not sufficient to secure any favorable result there, ou ac count of the extent of the infection. The disease also exists in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. But the state authorities have not yet ac cepted the rules and regulations of the de partment for co-oueration, I greatly re gret the necessity for announcing tbe ex istence of this dangerous disease over such a wide area, but the serious results to be apprehended from it make it imperative that the truth should be known in order that such legislative action may be taken as is dictated by the emergency.” ClfcVelunil’s Illness. Washington, December 1.—The presi dent has been confined to his room for two or three days by a slight but annoying at tack of rheumatism, and has for this reason been obliged to deny himself to all callers, except cabinet officers. He is feeling some what better to-day. The president has suffered from rheumatism before, but this is the first attack he has had since he en tered the white house. Our Common Porketbook.

Lottie Ross, tbe beautiful blonde at whose house Mrs. llill was drugged to her ruin, kept sinking lower and lower, but she never ceased to bo beautiful. One morning about two years ago the people of Nashville were astonished to hear that Col. Boyd, a wealthy gentleman of that city, lmd murdered his mistress, Birdie Patterson. Twice Boyd has been convict ed of the crime, und he is still engaged in the unpleasant duty of fighting the verdict of the court. Boyd, who has many rela tives in Marietta, Ga., during one ' of his visits there, took a run down to Atlanta, met Lottie Ross, became enamored of her and had her conveyed to Nashville under the name of Birdie Patterson. Now, Sam Hill, having travelled the world over, is in Kansas City. As a sent ence for murder hangs over "him, he must keep shady, but he has ventured to write a long letter to Gov. Gordon, narrating his temptations and pleading for that execu tive clemency which it is not improbable ho may obtain. Forrest Fires. Charleston, December l.—Extensive and destructive forest fires are raging be tween this city and Sumter, on the Central railway of South Carolina, for a distance of ninety miles. At Monck’s Corner, thirty- one miles from this city, many plantation buildings arc reported to have been de stroyed. At Strong Landing brick works tbe fire surrounded the buildings, but was beaten back after it had destroyed over 100 cords of wood. The Central railroad train from Columbia to-night h id to run between walls of fire, miles in length and extending up to the tracks. A forest fire swept into Florence yester day, but tbe town was saved by herculean efforts. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Montgomery, December 1.—The in auguration ceremonies of Governor Seay were carried out in splendid style. The procession formed in front of the Exchange Hotel, headed by a band of music. Then came the Montgomery mounted police and the military consisting ol the Mounted Rifles, Clisby’s artillery, Independent Rifles, Montgomery Blues, Montgomery Greys, Reese Tigers, followed by thousands of school children, an endless number of carriages with tho Htato and municipal officers, Governors O’Neal and Seay and civilians. Montgomery was full ol stran gers. Tbe avenue leading to tho cnpitol was one living moss of enthusiastic people. The weather was beaut iful throughout the day,the thousands of ladies from all over the state added lustre to tho happy occasion. Governor O’Neill introduced Governor Seay in his usual well-timed and happy style, and expressed his gratitude to the people and his officers for their aid in ren dering his administration pleasant and tho condition of Alabama satisfactory. Retiring, lie bid an affectionate adieu to the peoplo. He was loudly applauded, re tiring with the full consciousness of hav- ingserved Alabama well and faithfully. The appearance of Governor Soa.v created another genuine outburst of enthusiasm. He at once addressed himself to the mem bers of tho legislature present, at the cnpitol steps, surrounded by an immense populuco. ' His address, as ho stated to them, was principally argumentative rather than suggestive. He gave a retro spect! e review of the state's affairs from twelve years ago, when the state was nearly bankrupted liy a republican legisla ture, to the great achievements since se cured by democratic administrations, and the happy condition now secured for Ala bama. Alluding to the confederate monument to be erected on Capitol llill, he favors the free will offerings of private contributions; but never, until the last sacred obligations to those who were once the comrades of the gallant dead have been recognized, should any appropriation be made in aid of this glorious commemo ration. As regards the working of the public roads, be favors tho direct taxation of the respective counties. He dwells at length on the condition of the laws regu lating married women’s estates. He doesn’t favor the laws ns they exist in Alabama, considering them more pitch work, fur nishing a means of fraud to tho wicked and snnrcs to the unwary. The whole sub ject must be run ruteii. lie favors the enlightened laws of Mississippi, Massachusetts, Now York and in a manner England. He holds that it is impossible to prevent the conflict of convict and free labor and recommend', that the convicts lie concentrated ui d placed entirely under state supervision. I ] He fitvors the payment of a liberal salary I to solicitors from the slate treasury m.d the present ices should bo collected and recovered into it. He pays much attention to education. Alabama is paying now one-third of her entire revenue for education, lie ury i federal aid for public schools. He speaks encouragingly of our state troops and wants them maintained. This inaugiir-.l address is oonsidereu one of the most statesmanlike over delivered from tin: capitol. It was received vviLli profound at tention and approbation. A b ill complimentary to Governor Seay and party is now in progress at, t he Ex change i Intel. The Alabama State Bar Association met in annual convention hers to-day. Inter esting papers were read and new members coming from Boston parties. Its sale ex ceeded 100.000 shares to-day, and it was tbe actual leader of the market. Business in Reading was only about half that of yosterdays and its fluctua ions, though sometimes violent, were confined within a range of only 2 per cent. The situation in this stock creates a great deal ot talk, but there was no news in to-day of a character to have much effect upon the price. There was more business in St. Paul, which was re markably strong when the remainder of the list was weak. But it also failed to respond to any great extent to the better feeling prevailing in the afternoon. Coal stocks, grangers and Vanderbilt’s were comparatively quiet, except Lake Shore, which wus decidedly strong in the after noon. Central Paciflo sympathized with Union Pacific, and was notably strong to ward the close. The market was decided ly strong gt. tho opening, tlie general list showing advances over last evening's final figures of from 1 to j percent. Opening fig ures, however. Were not maintained. West Point, which had advanced 31, dropped off 2.f per cent, in tbe first twenty minutes. All the leaders of tho market were promi nent in the downward movement, tiut tho market rallied toward the end of the last hour. Early losses, however, wore not made up till well into tho afternoon, the market in the meantime having boeii com paratively quiet. In the lust two hours, on active business, prices continued to ad vance under the load of Union Pacific and tho closo wrs strong at or about the best prices reached. To-day’s business was 537,090 shares, with a well distrib uted business. Everything on the active list is higher, including Union Paeilio, Chattanooga and West Point, Northern Pacific preferred, Pacific Alail and Canada Southern. KNIGHTS DISAGREE. A How Fcatiiro of tlic Ginns Blowers’ Strike. Philadelphia, Pa., December 1.—An important feature lias entered into the controversy between tho green glass man ufacturers and blowers over tho ubolition ot the apprentice system. On Monday night ineetingsof the local assemblies of glass blowers were held in Clayton, Mill ville, Salem, Woodbury, Wifliamstown- and Glassboro, N. .1., when it was decided that they would not strike us ordered by the executive board of district assembly No. 149 of lie Knights of Labor, but would surrender their charters rather than do so. These blowers are working with appren tices and under a reduction in wuges of 5 per cent., according to ari agreement entered into with the manufacturers some weeks ago. The representa tive charters or the six assemblies were sent to the general secretary, Charles II. Litchman, at the general headquarters in this city yesterday. It is stated that these assemblies purpose forming a new association and in the future they say tbut they will not allow anyone to work in a, New Jersey factory who has violated an agreement made at the compromise settle ment last month with the employers. On the oi lier hand the officers of diilrict as sembly No. 149 declared that these blowers numbering between 590 and 600, will be raei-eil aud bln :klisted by all the mcm- ■» of the. league in good standing mid M i iiol be allowed to work outside the limits of their towns. added, Two of Alabama’s fuvorito children were married at St. John’s Episcopal church to night, Dr. Stringfollow officiating.

A large num ber of influential lodges have voted almost ton man against any such move. Home of the smullor lodges are inclined to identify themselves with the Knights of Labor so that to use their own expression tho “con flict against capital can bo made more for midable on the part of labor.” While tho great body of the members seem to be op posed to merging the Amalgamated Asso ciation into the Knigli s ot Labor, tho movement to organize in both unions in still* going on.

Moon, a wealthy barbed wire manufacturer of Worcester, and which was so carefully kept, in a recent suit be tween them, has become public.
