The House.
The house met at 8 o’clock, Speaker Lit
tle in the ohalr. The reading of yester
day’s journal oecupied thirty minutes.
By unanimous consent the following bill
was taken up and passed:
Mr. Gresham—Regulating the fees of
judge and solicitor of the county court of
Walton county.
The special order for the day was next
taken up, which was Mr. Candler’s resolu
tion to provide for the appraisement of the
State road. It was considered in commit
tee of the whole with Mr. Stewart, of
Rockdale, chairman. The resolution de
clares, first, that it is the imperative duty
of this general assembly, in view of the re
pent disclosures made by the president of
the lease company, to protect the state's
property and rights in this road; second,
that the lessees have no claim in law or
equity for betterments and none WiU be
entertained or allowed.
The remainder of the resolution pro
vides for the appointment oi a commission
of three reputable, expert railroad men to
make an appraisement of road, and report
any attempt at depreciating the road, in
which event the governor shall declare
the lease void and take possession of the
road.
The resolution was considered by sec
tions and the first two declaring it the
duty of the general assembly to protect
the road, and t he second declaring against
bitterments were adopted unanimously.
The remainder of the resolution was
amended in its details in a number of
points.
Mr. Berner moved the committee rise
and report the resolution back with the
recommendation that it do pass.
Mr. Arnheim, ot Dougheriy, moved as a
substitute that the committee report the
resolution back with the recommendation
that it do not pass.
Mr. Arnheim opposed the resolution on
the ground that what it sought to do, but
would be unable to accomplish, would be
accomplisoed by a general law governing
all the railroads alike. There was uo rea
son for this special legislation. The gov
ernor’s posse comitates could not seize the
property in Tennessee. The resolution
was a high sounding claptrap, and was not
worth a haubee.
Mr. Berner, of Monroe, said he should
hesitate to speak of the product of any
man’s brain and study in the flippant
terms used by the gentleman from Dough
erty. He referred in sneering terms to the
suggestion that the posse comitatus should
be used in seizing the road, and yet by-
reference to the sub-tituce of the gentle
man from Dougherty offered for the-Har
rison resolutions we find the identical nro-
visiotis and almost the same words,
[laughter] and we find the gentleman
from Dougherty the lather of
this latin phrase in this connection.
Whether the efforts should prove futile or
not It was the duty of this general assem
bly to make an honest effort to protect
the state’s property.
Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, followed in a
brief speech, emphasizing the same
grounds.
The motion of Mr. Arnheim was lost,
and on motion of Mr. Berner the resoluti ms
were reported back with the recommen
dation that, they do pass, as amended.
In the house,after further discussion, the
vote resulted—yeas 101, nays 32.
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, explained
his vote against the resolution on the
ground that it was unnecessary, since the
passage of the resolution yesterday.
Next in order was the bill by Air. Olive,
of Oglethorpe, to provide additional super
vision of railroads in this state, arid to
render less hazardous the transportation
of persons and property by them.
Mr. Olive, introducer of the bill, moved
to amend by filling the blank, prescribing
the penalty with $2000 for each day which
a road shall neglect to make the improve
ments or repairs demanded by the railroad
commission.
Mr. Chappell, of Muscogee, said the ob
ject of the bill was simply to protect the
Western and Atlantic railroad, and with
this in view it was proposed to enact a
general bill that would work a hardship
upon every railroad in the state. He op*
posed the bill.
Mr. Olive spoke in support of his bill,
admitting that it was induced by a desire
to protect the state road, and earnestly
urging its importance and propriety.
Mr. McCord, of Richmond, opposed the
bill, declaring that it conferred judicial
functions on the railroad commission, and
was unwise in its provisions and results.
Mr. Olive said his object was to protect
the road, and, at the same time, save the
state all unnecessary expense, by giving
the railroad commission supervision of it.
Under their supervision, the road could be
kept up until tno expiration of the lease,
without being thrown into litigation.
Mr. Joaes, of Baker, moved to indefi
nitely postpone the bill.
Mr. Arnheim, of Dougherty, denied that
the bill was directed only against the West
ern and Atlantic railroad, bat said, in so
far as it effected that road, it was the only
measure that accomplished, in reference
to that road, what was really desired by
the legislature. It exceeds, in the scope
of its benificent results, any measure intro
duced in this house. He earnestly advo
cated the bill.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, said the scope
of the bill was to protect the persons of
the citizens of Georgia, and should be
passed with an amendment relieving the
owners or stockholders of railroad compa
nies from the provisions of the bill and re
stricting its operations to the corporation
or lessees.
Mr. Featherstone, of Floyd, oppossd the
bill.
Mr. Worsham, oi Monroe, moved to
table the motion to indefinitely postpone.
Carried.
Mr. Felton, of Bibb, moved to recommit
the hill. Lost.
Mr. Berner, of Monroe, moved to extend
the session.
Mr. Lumsden, of White, moved to ad
journ, and the motion prevailed.
Adjourned until 2:30 p. m.

Cnnsternntlnn.
Baltimore, October 12.—The mouthl.v
meeting of the directors of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company was hold to
day. Thu first business was a letter from
Robert Garrett resigning the presidency oi'
the coin puny. The resignation wan ac
cepted and a resolution of compliment and
regret was adopted. The contract for the
transfer of the Baltimore and Oiiio tele
graph to the Western Union was approved.
A resolution was adopted that no dividend
he declared from the earnings of the main
stem for the past six months, and declar
ing a dividend of 5 per cent, from the
earnings of the Washington branch. Ar
rangements in progress with the syndicate
to relieve the road of its indebtedness were
presented and entirely approved, so
far as they have progressed. All legal pa
pers are in preoarution and it is expected
they will be laid before the board at the
annual meeting in November; Robert
Garrett was elected a director in the com
pany in place of John Spear Nicholson,
deceased. The announcement oil the
Htreot that a dividend on the main stem
had been passed created considerable con
sternation, and immediately forty-five
shares of stock sold at. 115. It was confi
dently expected laHt night that a dividend
of 3 or 4 per eon’, on the main stem would
be declared. After the close of the stock
board B. & O. shares sold at 103, and
later 105 was bid and 110 asked. Ten shares
were sold at 108. The passing of a divi
dend deprives the city of $130,000, which
was expected to meet appropriations, and
Mayor Hodges stated that it will necessi
tate an increase of 0A cents on the hundred
in the general taxation of the property of
the city, and if the Beiond dividend shall
be passed, double that amount will bo
necessary to meet the requirements of the
city.

Washington, October 12.—The light
house board has ordered the placing of a
gas buoy off Pemblioo, N. C., to take the
place of the light at that point, which was
discontinued because of the uneafety of the
tower. Efforts were made at the two last
sessions of congress to secure a provision
for new light, but without success.

Council Bluff, Iowa, October 12.—
The southward flight of the presidential
party begun at Miuneapolis, at tea min
utes past- eight last evening. The two
ladies of the party retired early, but the
president and the male members of his es
cort sat for a couple of hours, smoking
their cigars and comparing experiences.
The president was frequently summoned
to the plu,t;'orm during the evening, to re
ceive the greet,lug* of the country people,
who seemed to he wide awake all along
the line.
At Cheeaka, a dozen tar barrels were
burning, and an artillery suluto was fired,
and as the train moved slowly past the ig
fire, a balloon, in national' colors, was
sent aloft. At Carver, the people
were out in force, with a brass
baad, and the place was illuminated
by Chinese lanterns. At LeSocre there was
yet more elaborate illuminations, and a
serenade. The train made no stops, but
the president appeared wherever there
was a crowd and courteously acknowledged
its salutes. An army of railroad men ami
huge bonfires were burning every half mile
on the way. The sun was just streakiug
the eastern sky with ribbons of scarlet and
pink, when all hands were called this
morning to prepare ior the affair at Sioux
City. Half an hour was allowed for toilets,
and coffee was served befope the place was
reached. The train was stopped outside
of the town limits to take on board Mayor
Clelland, who, without formality, wo I
corned the president and his friends, and
when the station was reached, just at sun
rise, carriages and the reception commit
tee were found in waiting, as were the
military, brass band and people. A rapid
drive of live minutes brought the visitors
to the corn palace, whose turrets were at
the moment taking their early bath of
golden sunlight. The corn festival ended,
fn fact, last week, but everything had been
kept in place awaiting the president’s
visit, and all the attendants were on hand
to do the honors of the Occasion. Courte
ous committeemen escorted each member
of the party and pointed out the curiosities.
A more entertaining array of novelties
has not met the gaze of the presi
dent since his trip began. Mrs. Cleveland
was delighted with everything she saw,
and turned again and again to examine
more closely some unique fabrication oi
corn stalks, husks, ears or kernels to which
her escort called her attention; a wax
maiden with hair of corn silk ana robe of
satin husks; climbing the winding stair of
golden ears a spider oi tiny carrots was
lying in wait in his web of corn fibres; a
map of the union mado of korneis, each
state having its special color; a huge na
tion flag and shields, eagles, crescents,
crosses and emblems of various nations;
mottoeB, from “dominant ceres impera-
trice” to the multitudinous and
varied "welcomes,” all made of
unshelled ears were noted and ad mired .in
turn, and then tho big marvel of the build
ing. whose sole material, except its baie
skeleton, was the product oi the corn field
was explained in detail, and itsconception,
history and construction described by the
party’s conductors and admired by the
guests. From the palace the visitors
wero conducted through the town, which
seemed to be constructed in a great part of
corn products. The mammoth triumphal
arch still spanned the chief thoroughfare.
Signs of sections of corn ears and awnings,
verandas, and, in some eases, entire fronts
of corn, topped out with squashes and
pumpkins, were as their architects had
planned and made them. The show fur
nished the chief subjects of conversation
during the forenoon ride to Omaha, where
new scenes and now novelties claimed at
tention.
Omaha, Neb., October 12.—The presi
dent’s ride down the Missouri valley from
Sioux (Jity through endless s’.retelius of
waving corn, showed him a significance of
the Sioux City exhibition. At Council
Bluffs, Senator Mauderson, Congressman
McShaue and a committee of gentlemen
from Omaha boardod the train and wel
coined the president to “God’s country,”
which they claimed lay just beyond the
river. At the station in Omaha Senator
Paddock, Congressman Dorsey and the re
maining members of the recep
tion committee, composed jf prom
inent residents and municipal author
ities, welcomed the city’s guests.
Tho carriage to which the president and
his wife were escorted was one moss of
roses, wreaths of which also bedeokt d the
horses. A multitude of many thousands
cheered tho parly as it made its appear
ance, and cheers and salutes wore its ue-
companymunt throughout the city. The
streets had been tar-l ily and richly adorned
with streamers and devices in gay colors,
and banners hearing “Welcome to the
President,” couched in every form of pa
triotic and poetic phases spanned the way.
The Second regiment of United States in
fantry, Knights of Pythias in uniform from
all parts of the state and several political
and social organizations were drawn
up in line along the
each with its brass band and colors. One
of the organizations which attracted the
especial attention of the president was a
company of full-blood Indian youths from
the Genoa Industrial school, and a hand of
music. Governor Thayer and Congress
man McBhane rode with President and
Mrs. Cleveland nod pointed out. as it were,
subordinate incidents of the tribe, the cor
ner lots and business properties which be
long to the lady of the white house as om
of the Folsom heirs. The brisk Nebraska
zephyrs prevailed during the ride, hut the
street-, had been well sprinkled and dust
was not seriously annoying, A momenta
ry pause was made at tin- high school,
the site of the first territorial capitoi,
of Nebraska and the most commanding
height of the neighborhood to give an op
portunity to view at ono glance the entire
city and the long sweep of the Missouri.
Thence the cortege drove through the res
idence streets of the town back to the sta
tion. Throughout the ride the purty was
escorted by a flying, irregular squadron of
youngsters, whose dare-devil riding ex
cited continuous apprehension in their be
half on the part of the strangers.
New York, October 12.—The stock
market to-day was very feverish and weak
on selling for both sides of account, in
duced by the passing of Baltimore and
Ohio dividend and then by the determined
attacks ot the bears. Business was quiet
in the forenoon and, with Jersey Central
as u featurd, on rumors of a speedy termi
nation of the receivership. At noon, how
ever, news of the passing of the Baltimore
and Ohio dividend was received, which
became a signal for a heavy selling
movement, aided by the circulation
of many disquieting rumors, all
of which had their effect. Tho story that
Villard had resigned from the Northern
Pacific directory was used against that and
its kindred stocks and pressue upon Union
Pacific became particularly heavy, salos
for Boston account being specially numer
ous, and its price was carried duwu live
f ioints. Tho depression wns aided by room
raders who joined, helpin - the market
down and the business of the afternoon
was very largo and important. Read
ing as usual, wns nt the lie ad in
the amount of business done, and
while buying in stock was good, it was
forced down with the remainder. Money
was easy throughout, butsterlingexchange
was strong at a scarcity of eoltun bills, i ut
tin rise was attributed to sales of stocks
ior foreign account. The opening was
firm to strong at advances of from J to 8
per cent., but tho improvement was not
maintained in early dealings, the entire list
moving off under the lead of Union
Pacific. A material recovery
took place, in which Jersey
Central became the most conspicuous, al
ter whieli the market became dull, with a
general downward tendency, which be
came more pronounced after twelve
o’clock. The list suddenly sprang into ac
tivity, and under tho lead of Union Pa
cific, Oregons, and Northern Pacific, rapid
ly declined during the entire afternoon,
subject to the insignificant checks only.
There was a slight rally in the last
hour, but the close was weak and active,
at or near the lowest prices
of the day. Everything is lower and Ore
gon Navigation is down 6, Union Pacific 4j,
Louisville and Nashville 2j, Northern Pa
cific preferred and Missouri Pacific ‘2J
each, Oregon Transcontinental 2jj, Read
ing 21, Western Union 2 and others smaller
amounts.
Oreen A Co’s. Circular.
New York, October 12.—Green & Co.
say: Not quite so much general anima
tion could be found in cotton options to
day, but there was generally a stronger
undertone and a gradual gain in value
from tho outset. Few really new in
fluences were brought to light, but with
steady southern markets and reduced offer
ings, and reflection upon the receut short
crop and estimates, seemed to bring out
bUBiuess and converted bears were buying
With more or less freedom along the en
tire line. About five points advance took
place and was well sustained until the
close.
ARRESTS IN FRANCE
For Disclosing tho Plan* of Mobilization of tin
Seventeenth Corps.
PARIft, October 12.—The summary of the
plan lor the mobilization of the seven
teenth army corps which was divulged by
the Figaro has been found in the house; of
Geuerul Cuffarel. The memorandum of
the sums of money received presumably
from sales of decorations has been found
in Geueral D’Anlaus’ house. It is reported
that D’Anlau* has gone either to Brussels
or Berlin. He declared ho did not wish to
lie confined in prison previous to
his trial, but that on the day ot his trial li
would appear to answer the charge against
him. The lady who was arrested yester
day on the charge of being implicated in
the scandal is the Countess St. Anveur.
Other arrests are imminent.
The discovery for the mobilization of
the seventeenth army carps in Caffarel’s
house will seriously complicate his ease, in
view of the position behold as chief of
stuff in the war office.

Pittsburg, October 12.—The annual

ation commenced at t.lio Grand opera

Atlanta, October 12.—The exposition
directors have taken active stops to pre
vent violations of the prohibition laws at
tho exposition grounds. For the past day
or two there have been a number of druid s
on tho grounds, and tho exposition man
agers early this morning, went to the re
freshment stands at the grounds and in-
iormed their managers that they should
prosecute any one violating the prohibi
tion law and it would be assumed that
any one objecting to a search of his prem
ises by the police had intoxicants in stock.
They were allowed until 12 o’clock to re
move any objectionable beverages they
might have on hand. A keg of alleged
“rice” beer and a bottle of “nerve tonic”
were seized and carried to police head
quarters for analysis. The directors are de
termined to have no drunkenness on tho
exposition grounds.
A FAMOUS DRAMATIST.
l’artii-ular* of the Work* of tho Late Sir Oliai-lii*
Yoons, Author of ‘Mini, tin- Pullman.”
Sir Clinrles Young, whose death at the
comparatively early age of 48 we recorded
yesterday, narrowly escaped the remark
able fate of tho author of “The Honey
moon.” Tobin’s groat success was not
achieved until tho pen that imd written
many dramas and still more numerous up-
peals to tlie iuvorablo consideration of
theatrieul managers had dropped from his
li!ules3 hand. Sir Charles Young,
more fortunate, lived to achieve
the oilier day in “Jim, tho Pen
man,” at least one genuine, though tardy
triumph on the stage. This cleverly con
structed and vigorously written drama is
even more popular in the United States
than it is in this country. It wns brought
out originally a year nr two ago by tho
author’s friend, L-idy Mou. kton, at a
morning performance at the llaymarkot
Theatre, and was subsequently transferred
to the evening bill of that house, when it
enjoyed a tolerably long ami prosperous
run. This was tin consummation for
which Sir Charles Young had so Jong
waited, though till then with little result.
Less perhaps from choice than from
the lack of faith in his powers
among theatrical managers, lie was the
originatin' oi the system since so widely
adopted of taking a theatre for a tentative
matinee performance of a new play. If
we mistake not the first instance was his
“Shadows,” a long drama setting forth a
gloomy family legend, which was produced
at a “special morning performance" at t! c
Princess’s theatre in 1871. His “Charms,”
a “comedy drama,” came forth soon after- .
wards ut the now vanished Queen’s theatre, !
in Long-acre, in tho same experimental j
fashion. This was followed by an elaborate i
melodrama called “Montcalm,” which was 1
produced in 1872 at the same house, hut I
enjoyed little sued ss. The author had in :
this ease adopted the vicious method of
keeping the spectators in a state of baffled
curiosity til] the denouement was reached
insomuch that, its one of his critics ob- j
served ids elaborate story wus, as it were, !
“unfolded backwards.” Time and practi
cal experience—for Sir Charles Young wus
an accomplished and an indefatigable
amateur actor—taught him ut length
the secret of winning the favor of un audi
ence. It was his reputation for aSpruc-
tieul knowledge of the theatre which led
to his being appointed by Lord Beaeons-
iiold’s government a member of the royul
commission oil Copyright, the grievances
of which Mr. Tom Taylor, Mr. Charles
lleade anil the othor playwrights and nov
elists were then complainants, having a
particular application to the stutc of law
as regarded dnimHtle works. Sir Charles
Young was a man of lively manners and
of genial disposition, whose loss will he
keenly felt.—London Daily News.

In 1867, soon after tho close of the war,
a man was indicted for hog stealing in
Floyd county. The state made a strong
case against the defendant, and after the
tussel ot the legal lights on both sides of the
ease, the jury was sent to their room. They
bad not been out very long before they re
turned. The verdict was handed to the
clerk, who read the finding of the jury,
which-was as follows: “In consideration or
the demoralization of the times, and the
scarcity of provisions about tho time the
hogs were taken, we, the jury, find the de
fendant not guilty.”
Tallapooija Journal: A handsome rail

they will be preserved as much as possible.
This is a historic spot in many ways. It
