The llnusr.
The house met at 9 o’clock, Speaker Lit
tle lu the chair.
Several senate bills were read the second
time.
Mr. McCord offered a resolution provid
ing for a night session beginning at. 7:30
o’clock, in addition to morning and after
noon sessions.
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, opposed the
resolution. He said it was almost impos
sible to get time for committee meetings
now, and if a night session should be had
the business of the house would be very
greatly retarded. That instead of hurry
ing the business the addition of the after
noon session had impeded the work of the
session.
Mr. Howell, Mr. Arnheim and Mr. Pres
ton spoke on the same line. Mr. Arnheim
said the business of the session was not to
be judged by the number of bills passed,
but the number of bad measures which
they snowed under.
ijhe resolution was lost—yeas 30, nays 68.
The following business was Introduced by
unanimous consent:

ern and Atlantic railroad special commit

BILLS FOB A THIRD READING.
The following bills for a third reading
Were disposed of:
Mr. Smith, of Glynn—Relieving R. M.
Tison, former tax collector of Glynn coun

A senate amendment to the house bill
incorporating the Atlanta and West End
railroad was concurred in.
Mr. Russell, of Poik—Levying a tax of

Passed.
Mr. Russell, of Polk—Relieving D. H.
Hubbard, tax collector of Polk county.
Tabled,
Me. Weil, of Fulton—Prohibiting any
person from running a bucket shop.
This bill elicited considerable discussion.
No one favored the bucket-shop, hut Mr.
Arnheim favored the recommittal of the
bill, aud Mr. Harrison, oi Quitman, op
posed the bill. He said there was nothing
immoral In the buying of futures; that it
only placed the man of small means on a
footing with the wealthy man; that the
latter was able to buy a thousand bales of
cotton outright, but the poor nmn could
not. He could, however, put up the mar
gin or. a thousand bales and reap the
•promts as well as a rich man.
.Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, opposed the
■Will because it wiped out the cotton and
produce exchanges and injured the exoort
business of the country.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, advocated the
bill, and Mr. Berner, of Monroe, closed the
argument in its favor on the part of the
general judiciary committee, the previous
question having been called for. The bill
was lost—yeas 80, nays 30—it not. having
received the constitutional majority.
Adjourned to 8 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The house met at 3 p. m. and Mr. Glenn,
of Whitfield, moved to take .ip Id ■ 'edu
cation bill fur the purpose ol talcing action
noon the senate’s substitute for the same.
The motion prevailed and Mr. Glenn ad
dressed the house, opposing concurrence
in the senate’s action’ He said the senate
substitute legislatively recognized the
right to co-educate in nrivate schools. It
failed tp meet the issue squarely.
It proposed to punish a child for attending
school, which the substitute declares to be
legal and the consequences of violation of
the act fell only on colored people. He
moved that the house refuse to concur in
the senator’s action, which wob oarrled
unanimously by viva voice vote.
The following bills for third reading
were disposed of:
Incorporating the Blue Ridge and At
lantic railroad. Passed.
Paying M. D. Weeks, of Mitchell county,

A DISASTER AVERTED.
Crossties Piled Across the Track are Discovered In
Time.
Troy, N. Y., September S6.—Last night
an attempt was made to wreck the St.
James train on the Fitchburg road, about
one and a hall miles this side of North
Pawnal, Vermont. The express runs in
two sections from North Adams, the first,
which leaves that place at 8:05
o’clock p. m., being the West
Shore division; and the second. Which
leaves at 8:10 o’elock p. m., being the
New York Central and Erie division. As
the first section turned the ourve at 8:30
Engineer Charles N. Pilling, In the dim
moonlight, saw an obstruction on the track
about three train lengths ahead. The
train was running about forty miles an
hour. He applied the air brake-*, stopping
the train with a Jerk, but not until the en
gine had struck the obstacle. This was a
pile of nine ties, two of which were spiked
to the track. The engine did not leave
the track, though several of the ties were
displaced from the pile luid across
the rails. The brakeman was in
stantly sent hock to Bignal the
rear section, which was only five minutes
behind and a terrible disaster was averted.
The first sectioii consisted of three sleep
ers, a day coach aud baggage car. The
second section was composed of a baggage
ear, one sleeper and two ordinary coaches.
The trains were detained about twenty
minutes, until the track was cleared. The
officers of the road are of the belief that
there was somo person at the place of the
attempt, who lias been plotting disaster
for several months. At the time of the
accident to t he train of colored excursion
ists In Juno, when Several persons were
injured, the trouble was caused by a
switch being left halfway open. Later in
the season a collision occurred between
freight trains, caused by the same method,
in both Instances the telegraph operator
was discharged, but the third time the
switch was misplaced and discovered in
time to prevent the disaster, and it is
thouaht the same person is at the bottom
of all these attempts. A thorough investi
gation will he made.
A WAR OF RACES.
The Whiles ami Blacks In Arms Against Each
Other In Texas.
Houston, September 26.—Word Was
brought la this evening, that an insurrec
tion was itnmiuent among the blacks in
Matagorda county. The sheriff of Mata
gorda county sent a courier to Sheriff llic-
ley, of Brazoria countv, asking tor imme
diate assistance to put down an insurrec
tion. The courier states that over two
hundred negroes were under arms in Mntn-
gorda, and that the excitement among the
whites was very great. The trouble arose
over an attempt of a colored constable to
arrest a 'white man, who resided on Cane
creek. The constable was found dead,
lying in the water of the creek, and
the negroes believe that lie was mur
dered by the white men of the vicinity
because he had a warrant for one oftheir
number. Later reports last night stated
that Sheriff Hi Hey had raised a posse of
fifty mounted white men aud started for
Matagorda, while the sheriff of Mata ;-orda
county was en route to the scene ol trouble
with one hundred mounted men. At noon
to-day an alarming report reached this
city that the sheriffs' forces have arrived
aud active hostilities begun. The negroes
have been largely reinforced. The Hous
ton Light Guards have just received orders
to leave on a special train tor the town of
Columbia, Br*ztor county.

9 o’clock this morning.
Wm. \V. Turner (sworn)—Am peniten
tiary guard; my business is carrying con
victs from couhty jails to convict camps.
From my observation of convicts 1 think
them belter clothed and fed than free la
bor; according to the reports of the phy
sician the average of sickness is greater.
Convicts, when delivered at camps, are
frequently put to work without medi
cal examination into their condition,
as to their fitness for the work assigned.
Have boeu connected with the penitentiary
for eight years. Have known of the birth
of several illegitimate childreu in thn con
vict camps. One woman named Susannah
Gilbert, who has been in the penitentiary
tor eighteen years at Lockett's camp and
at the Chattahoochee camp, lias had six
children. Several other cases were men
tioned. A number of these bastard chil
dren are given away.
G. H. Williams (sworn)—Am superin
tendent at the Old Town camp.
Have been connected with that
oamp for ten years. I know
the convict Thomas Roderick, and was
there when he died. He was not whipped.
Knew Ben Kix. He was sick before he
came to the camp. He had a wound on
his head made by whipping boss W. E.
Smith. Was there when Peter Jackson
died. Know the cause of his death. The
first time I heard they died from over
work, was the night before Dr. Houk left
the oamp. Dr. Houk was the camp pbysi.
clan. He had a falling out with Whipping
Boss Smith, because the latter locked
him him out of the door of
the women’s department, and issued orders
that he was not to go in there without wit
ness or Mr. Smith was with him. This
order was issued because two of the women
had given birth to children, which they
swore were Dr. Houk’s. I knew of those
facts, and knew ol the pregnancy of the
women, and that Dr. Houk had to be
locked out of their quarters, but I did not
report the matter. Didn’t think it was
any of my business. I was superintendent
in charge of the camp. Was next in
authority to the lessees, Didn’t tell Capt.
James anything about it. He knew as
much about It as I did. Dr. Houk reported
that the woman had dropsy during her
pregnancy. I didn’t tell the principal
keeper or the principal physician any bet
tor, because I didn’t think it any of my
business, and because of my friendliness
for Dr. Houk. I was willing to help him
cover It up. The child was born dead. The
woman got well of the “dropsy” in a very
short time after this.
J. A. Grubbs (sworu)—Am guard at
Atlanta and Hawklnsville railroad camp.
Was there iu August at Bingham camp.
Witness then testified about condition of
camp, declariug that in his opinion it was
absolutely necessary that those convicts
should have been .vhipped by Bingham to
preserve the order of the oamp. The con-
vicTtr tutor not been ■whipped inner Ion? that
theyllworo very unruly. Slaughter had
made threats and declared that no white
man should whip him. The fact that he
was not whipped the day of his fight with
the convict Harnett made him more sullen
uud impudent.
T. B. Ecgleton (sworn)--Am guard at the
Bingham camp. He testified as to the sul
len anti disobedient behavior of convicts
after the fight between them and the fail
ure to whip them; he said Slaughter had
cursed another convict aud tried to get up
a fight the day of the night on which they
were whipped; he Baid Bingham said he
had tried to get along without, whipping
them, but he would have to take hold of
Slaughter. That r.ight he and the others
wore whipped; the whipping was necessary
to preserve discipline in the camp.
I curse sometimes. Have cursed convicts.
Have heard ot her guardsenr.se in speaking
to convicts. It is against rules for guards
or convicts to curse. He related details of
the whipping of Slaughter aud others
by Bingham, which have already been
published.
,J. L. Davis (sworn)—Was guard at Ring-
ham camp when Slaughter and others
were whipped. The stick Slaugter had
was the handle of a nine pot mi hammer
used to drive spikes. It was a tow one he
hud made for his hammer, but.it had nev< r
been put. in the hammer. Don’t know if
he made it or somebody made
it for him. Slaughter said he’d
rather die than take a whipping. That he
had taken his last whipping from any
damned white man. This was at Griiiin
the day of the fight with Barnett. I saw
the convicts the day alter they were
whipped. They didn’t complain that they
Wore unable to work. Didn’t see Bingham
cut convicts ns they went out of the door.
The sworn report of C. C. Bingham,
whipping boss, was read and placed in
evidence.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Atlanta, September 26.—The afternoon
session of the convict investigation was re
sumed at 3 o’clock. Judge Hillyer said it
was very desirable that the evidence
should be printed before they entered on
the argument. a
The stenographer announced that ho
had 400 pages ready for the printer and
would furnish the balance as fast as possi
ble to the printer.
Captain Lotve was temporarily with

Hill might swear two guards who were

M. O. Maxwell (sworn}—Was guard at
tho Bingham cr.inp when four convicts
were whipped. Ho testified about the cir
cumstances of the whipping, and that if
the convicts hadn’t been whipped they
couldn’t have been controlled. Convicts
were impudent and unruly, and were
growing worse. He didn’t think tho
whipping was excessive. He reviewed

to the con- i Cleveland. It looks now as though he
had done , would, perhaps, be nominated hy acclama
tion. Should the nominating convention
meet now, there would, apparently, be
no doubt of his nomination. Of course,
the developments of the next twelve
months may change the situation, but
there is no doubt as to the present feeling.
It may be that there are democrats who
are opposed to the renomination of Mr.
Cleveland, but it so, they make them
selves mighty scarce about Washington.
It is ns to the other side that the uucer-
taiuty prevails.
Blaine, Sherman, Lincoln, Allison, Ed
munds—all have their followers and
friends among tho republicans. It is evi
dent that the fight for the republican nom
ination is going to bo about as
spirited as before. It has been a
favorite theory that the defeat of the
last campaign is going to make the
next republican convention a deliberative
body, one which would calmly discuss the
situation and decide for the good of the
party without reference to personal prefer
ences of anybody. But it is easy to see at
this distance from the fight that the con
test tor the nomination is going to be as
hard and hot as ever. There is no doubt,
apparently, of tho disposition of a very
large part of the republicans in favor of
the renomination of Mr. Blaine. You
never hear anybody asserting that Blaine
is the man to win, but tiiey Hay. with a sort
of hopeless, depressed air : “Well, I ex
pect tt will be Blaine.” Everybody seems
to be for him. Very often tho man who
says this will tell you that ho thinks it
ought to he Sherman, or perhaps Lincoln,
but nevertheless four out of live men who
express themselves oil this subject, assert
hat if Blaine desires to lead the fight once

examined by the state)—He testified about
the first meetings of penitentiary company
No. 2; said he had private memoranda of

no official book of minutes kept. The first

New York Stork
NF.w York, September 26.—The stock
market to-day was quiet. There was little
news of any kind to affect values, and with
a generally bearish temper among those
who had the morning’s trading in their
owu hands, prices lagged off', There Wits
no pressure to sell, T>ut support was en
tirely lacking except a little* buying by
London at tho oponing. The street became
full of rumors that the president of the
Pacific Mail had sold the balance ol his
holdings, which \vaS followed hy a state

ization of the company and directory were
completed. The stock was quickly bid up

stock became larger. Jersey Central fol
lowed with a similar but not so extensive
movement, while the entire list moved up
in sympathy. The business done, excejjt
in some seven or eight stocks, was insif£
