The House. The house met at 8 o’clock. The following bill was taken up bv unanimous consent and read the third time. Mr. Harris, of Catoosa— Incorporating the town of Catoosa Springs. Lost for want of a constitutional majority—ayes 87, nays 1. The special order was next taken up, which waB the bill by Mr. Olive, of Ogle thorpe, to provide additional supervision of railroads in this state and to render less hazardous the transportation of persons and property by them. On motion of Mr. Harrell, of Webster, the bill was considered by sections. Sec tion 1 was adopted as amended. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were adopted without amendment. Mr. Jones, of Baker, added an additional section, “Provided this bill shall appiy only to the Western and Atlantic rail road.” Mr. Harrell, of Webster, opposed the amendment. Mr. Jones, of Baker, urged earnestly the passage of his amendment, declaring the bill an atrocious measure, and that his amendment was added to bring out the friends of the measure. It had been de clared that it was iramed with a view to protect the state road and proposed to coniine the operations of the' bill to the state road. aMr. Olive, ofOglethorpe, said: “The char acterizing of the bill as atrocious casts an imputation on me as its author.” Mr. Jones—“I did not mean to insinuate anything against the author of the bill.” Mr. Olive—“Then I demand a retraction of the language; the bill cannot be de clared atrocious without casting an impu tation on me. 1 pause—" Mr. Jones—“The language is with drawn.” Mr. Olive then continued his remarks in support of his bill against the Jones amendment, declaring that while one of the inducing ideas in framing the bill was to protect the State road, its operations were broader and extended to the protec tion of life and property on all railroads. Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, opposed the bill. Mr. Simmons, of Sumter, said the bill was an honor to and would reflect credit upon its author. He said the same argu ments urged against this bill hud been urged against the railroad commis sion law. As he understood the bill it simply enlarged the powers of the railroad commission. The Berner and Candler resolutions bristle with litigation. As soon as the additional bond demanded of the State road lessees is refused and it is sought to enforce those resolutions, the road will be placed in the hands of a receiver and thrown into endless litigation in the United States courts. This bill leaves our own railroad commission with jurisdiction of violations. Mr. Candler opposed the bill. Mr. Jones, of Baker, oflered as a substitute for the resolutions and amend ments the following: „ Resolved, That the governor of Georgia be directed to take charge of the Western and Atlantic railroad alter an early break fast to-morrow morning, October 14,1887. The speaker ruled the substitute not ger mane and out of order. The previous question was celled and Mr. Berner, chairman of the committee on general judiciary closed the argument in support of the bill, lie declared that its object was to protect the life and limbs and property of the people oi Georgia and to prevent railroad accidents by forcing the railroads to keep their property in order and in good running condition. It prevents railroad Buits and l believe will result in economy to the railroads, and it will be endorsed by the railroad men of the state. If the bill was passed the sequel would establish its wisdom. Mr. Jones’ amendment was lost. On the passage of the bill the vote was yeas 97, nays 35, and the bill passed. SECOND SPECIAL ORDER. The second special order was the Harri son resolution providing for advertising for bids for the sale or lease of the state road. The question came up on the adoption of the minority report offered by Mr. Felton, of Bartow, as a substitute for the report of the committee. Mr. Matthews, of Houston, argued the importance of taking action in the matter, and said he would vote for either the origi nal resolution or the substitute, as the house should elect. Mr. Felton, of Bartow, advocated the passage of the minority report providing for advertisements only for the lease of the road. Ho said he was opposed to the sale and would cutertuin no proposition for its purchase. He Raid the state had a' right to demand a new bond of the lessees, but ought to have done so in 1870 or 1880. Now the lease was ex piring, and the lessees would decline to give a bond. The governor would have to take it in charge and run it. The Louis ville and Noshvillo road would deflect its business over the East Tennessee. The road would be in the bants of new men, and it matters not how pure and honest they be, the road would barely pay ex penses. Then would come up a cry from all over the state that the road was worth less, and ought to be sold, and sell it for anything you can get. This would be what the sharpers wanted. He urged the state to stand by the present lease contract. It was the only safety and only hope. Let the state enforce that lease contract, and authorize the governor to lease it subject to that lease at a mini mum rental of $35,000 per month. The Louisville and Nashville road would lease it in thirty days, and at the expiration of that lease the road would have doubled its value. He urged the members not to dis pose of the state’s ownership in this road, as they valued the future welfare and pros perity of Georgia. Mr. Harrell, of Webster, argued that the only question was whether the legislature, which was the board of direotors of the road, should give to the people, who are the stockholders of the road, the fullest information in reference to the value of their property, so that they could intelli gently instruct their next board ot direc tors whether they desired their property sold or leased. Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, was opposed to the sale of the road, but was also opposed to the resolutions before the house. It would not be a bad idea to al low the lease to expire and the Btate to run the road through one administration and relieve it of all claims for betterments and then lease it unincumbered. He be lieved the real benefit to be derived from the resolutions bad been accomplished in the enlightenment of the people by the debates upon them, and therefore moved to indefinitely postpone the measure. Mr. Arnheim, of Dougherty, favored the substitute of Dr. Felton looking to adver tisements for the lease of the road only. The previous question being called, the chairman of the finance committee gave ten minutes to Vlr. Harrison, of Quitman, aud ten minutes to Mr. McLendon, of Thomas, in conclusion. Mr. Harrison said the peril now threat ening the Slate road had not been exag gerated by the gentleman from Bartow; and while he preferred the majority re- g ort, in the interest of the welfare of eorgin he cheerfully urged the passage of the minority report. [Applause.] Mr. McLendon took the same ground, though preferring the committee’s substi tute. The minority report was adopted, yeas 111, nays 10, and ordered Immediately transmitted to the senate. Adjourned to 2:30 p. in. AFTERNOON SESSION.

INVESTIGATING THE CHARGES. rin 1 Report of the Investigating Committee In the Case of the Lobbyists Shows Thai tho Charges Were Groundless. Atlanta, October 13.—To-day tho re port of the investigating committee, ap pointed at last winter’s session to examine into the charges ol lobbying against Judge Fain and ex-Senator Rankin, submitted their report to the senate, and copies were ordered printed. Months ugo it was an nounced thut the report of the committee would exculpate the gentlemen named, but the report has never been formally made until to-day. The report first sets out that on Nov. 7,1883, on interview with Geo. R. Eager and affidavits of Geo. Bisancr and an editorial were published in the Atlanta Constitution, making charges of lobbying against Judge James C. Fain and ex Sena tor \V. R. Rankin, and also that a promi nent state official had received a thousand dollars to influence his official action; that in consequence of these publications a joint investigating committee was raised, which had summoned before it ever person from whom there wus even a remote hope that information could he had concerning the matters under investigation, and charges were not sustained by the testimony. Tho offi cial referred to in tho publication w.is Railroad Commissioner. L N. Trammell. Tho investigation disclosed the fact that Mr. Trammell had performed legal service for the Marietta and North Georgia rail road. They had tendered in payment a $1000 bond of the road. This, said Mr. Trammell, had remained in possession of Mr. Hoke Smith, attorney for the road. Mr. Trammell was subsequently paid $o00. aud the testimony showed had never had the bond in his possession. The cominit- mittec have not yet reported on the other branch of their investigation, but have concluded the taking of testimony. Kaltlniore and Ohio Stock. Baltimore, October 13.—There was mare activity to-day in the Baltimore and Ohio railroad shares than for some time E ast; 224 shares, in small blocks, changed andB. The price opened at 109 and sold down to 161, but recovered to 105, before the close of the first session. Between ceils there was a sale of 10 shares, at 102$. There are no new developments as to mat ters connected with the road. The Iturncl Asylum. Cleveland, October 13 —One more body was recovered from the ruins of the chapel and laundry of tho insane asylum, which was burned last night, making eleven known to be burned. The injured inmates are doing as well as can be expect ed, and all may recover. Three of the escaped patients were captured this morn ing, and only two are now unaccounted for. Kansas City, Octobor 13.—The demon- stration in Kansas City in honor of the president, of the United States is a tumul tuous and noisy proceeding, but is attend ed with no more disorder than seems to bo lnavoidable wherever the president ap pears. Thu exposition lias called iu a great number of strangers, but tho advent of tho president lias hardly left standing room in the town. "You must excuse appear ances,” said a lady to Mrs. Cleveland; “we have just moved in and have not got set tled yet.” The expression was butter un derstood as the visitors wero escorted through the streets in carriages this morning, with many beau tiful, even palatial residences and with signs of the enormous commerce which centres here observable on every hand. There were everywhere evidences of wealth. The streets in many places were torn up and building operations seemed almost everywhere in progress. Tho president’s conductors pointed out features with pride. “We do not boast of the residences we havo built,” they said, “so much as of t he business we havo start ed, which is going to build our residences hereafter.” The ride was a well managed and thoroughly enjoyable affair. Only- carriages enough to carry tho visitors and escort n committee of eleven gentlemen were provided. They were preceded and followed by a small troop of cavalry The marshal of tho procession, Col. Milton Moore, accompanied by about twenty deputies, headed the line. The party set out from the hotel at 9:30 o’clock, amid the cheers of the multitude, and made its Way rapidly through the western portion of tho town without stooping until it reached the highest eminence of tho city. From this point the bluff tell away precipi tously to the lower town, 300 feet below, immediately beneath stretched five or six square miles of railroad yards, and as the president’s carriage made its appearance on the blow of tbe hill every locomotive oi all the fifteen railroads centering hero opened its throat and screamed. The con cert was led by a rusty-looking monster whose toneu, by some manipulation of her performing artiHt, were exactly like the howling of a family of eoyottes, only multiplied to ear-splitting dimensions. The president’s attention was called to the great area lying beyond the railroad, cov ered by mammoth packing houses and establishments for tbe sale of agricultural implements. A pauso was made at the exposition building, but the president did not alight. From this point the party pro ceeded to the site of the projected new Y. M. C. A. building, on the northwest corner oi Northwest and Locust streets, of which the president laid the corner-stone. This ceremony was preceded by singing of hymns, a brief address and prayer by Bishop Heudrix. The president’s remarks on tbe occasion were as follows: “In the busy activities of our daily life, fore are not to neglect the instrumentalities which are quietly, but effectually doing the most important service in molding our national character. Among these, aud challenging but little notico compared with their valuable results, are the Young Men’s Christian Associations, scattered throughout our country. All will admit the supreme importance of that honesty and fixed principle which rests upon Christian motives and purposes, and all will acknowledge the sad aud increasing temptations which beset our young men and lure them to their destruction. To save these young men, often times deprived of the restraints ot home, from degrada tion and ruin, and to fit them for useful ness and honor, these associations havo entered the field oi Christian effort, and are pushing their noble work. When it is considered tha\ the subjects of their ef forts are to be activu men, for good or evil In the next generation, mere worldly pru dence dictates that these associations should be aided and encouraged. Their increase and flourishing condition reflect the highest honor upon the good men who have been devoting themselves to this work, and demonstrates the fact that the American people nre not ontirely lacking in appreciation of value. Twenty years ago, but one of these associations owned a building, and that was valued at only $11,000. To-day, more than one hun dred such buildings, valued at more than five million, beautify the different cities of our laud, uud beckon our .yo-ing men to lives of useful ness. I um especially pleased to be able to participate to day in laying the corner | stone of another of those edifices in this I active and growing city, ami 1 trust that the encouragement given the Young Men’s Christian Association located here may lie ! commensurate with its assured usefulness ; and in keeping witli the generosity and i intelligence which churucterize the people ] of Kansas City.” | While the ceremonies wore in progress a corps of pickpockets, which has followed | the presidential party throughout its tour, ] industriously plied their art. One i of those gentry, a ilorid, well built, though rather heavy man, was discovered by his victim in the act, | just too late, however, to prevent the rob- j liery. Loud oriel of “catch that man” in terrupted the impressive proceedings for a ! second. A man was seen to dash from the crowd, fall oil a stone wall, knock over i one or two women and rush fir freedom with three or lour policemen after him. I When the brief proceedings were ended | the president and party went to their hotel, where an hour was give n to lunch. | About half-past 1 E. li. Allen, president : of the board ol trudo and chairman of tbe i reception committee. Congressman Van- Horn, Congressman Warner, W. H. Miller, secretary of the board of trade, and a com- niii.U-u of about a dozen ladies and gentle- j men called upon the president and con ducted him and Mrs. Cleveland to their carriage. They were then escorted through the more thickly built business streets of the city and brought up at the rear | of the government building, where 1 they arrived about 3 o’clock. Alighting i they were escorted through the post office I and out upon the front portico of the build ing, where a stand and awning had been | erected. Fully 50,000 people were congre gated about :bis point, windows, tele- i graph poles and radiating streets, as far as they were visible, being packed with hu- - inanity. When the band hud finished the ’ strains of “Hail to the Chief,” Allen ; advanced ta the rail and in troduced to the president Mayor Henry C. Kumpf, who made tho formal speech of I welcome. It wus a model of brevity, as ; follows: “Mr. President—Ou behalf of the people of this city, it is my pleasant duty to bid ' you a hearty welcome to the metropolis of I the Misssissippi valley. We are hapuy to receive and entertain our president.’ Al- ! though elected by one political party, yet when elected, he is the presi- | dent Of the whole people. Tliis vast assembly of people l have come here not only to show their respect for the president of the nation of over 50,000,000 of people but for them, and also, we will do all we can to render your visit pleusant, and we hope that we will succeed in our laudable effect to bid you welcome to the city of Kansas.” The president Bpoke os follows In reply: “I had not long settled upon a visit to St. Louis when I found that it would not do at ull to go thero without also seeing this wonderful city ou Missouri’s western border. One of your enterprising citizens, anxious that I should not reach here in ignorance of your achievements, has sent me a newspaper exhibiting the progress of your city during tbe first six months of the present vear. Three months havo passed since this record was made up, and he wrote me that he thought that if 1 added 60 per cent, to tbe figures which it contained I would strike a proper estimate of your condition to-day. While this shows the deepest faith and confi dence iu what you can do, I am inclined to think from something 1 have recently seen published, that tho rules, thus laid down, is none too liberal. The truth of tbu statement made in this paper report is clinched by tho compiler when be says, at the beginning, “the taut is, that it isalmost impossible to lie about Kansas City.” And when tho splendid delegation of your busi ness men called on me and iu the kindest and most candid way invited mu to be your guest, one of them was introduced ns a dealer in real estuto, who. it was de clared, if I came here would sell me a city lot oefore I left. And this reminds mo of a friend who made a trip to the Pacific coast, and as he came buck found his way to Kansas City and bought a lot. Ho went immediately homo uud when he arrived there ho found that his lot had been sold for enough in advance of its cost to pay the expenses of bis entire trip across the continent. Of course there is no limit to what a community oan do, living iu such a placo as this nnd actuated by the spirit which these incidents manifest. Thus we find the value of real estate, transferred for the first six months of 1886, to bo something over $27,600,600, while for tho first six months of the present year the amount is more than $62,000,000. All transfers of real estate are not indicative of actual substan tial city prosperity. Merc passing of land from owner to owner at cnhauced prices may be symptoms of speculation, which really creates no new value and adds noth ing to municipal wealth and pi ogress; but when buildings are put up by purchasers of this laud aud tenants are found to occupy them, for trade or for residence, it is a pretty sure sign that the business of tho city is Increasing as well as the population. Kansas City stands the test of this rule, for duriug tbe six months ending June 30,1887, the increase in the number of building per mits Issued and the value of the buildings they covered, kept pace with the value of laud transferred. I must not be expected to go further into details of things which show your progress. It is sufficient to state that it is apparent in the activity of every branch ot your divers busiuess, as Well os in the vast public improve ments completed aud under way and which are made necessary by your phenomenal growth. In tbe statemeuts I have seen of your city, mention is made of eastern in vestments here, and of their importance to your beautiful city. The country about, you and its enhanced productiveness is also stated us an important factor of your greatness, and your railroad facilities, placing you iu commuuicatiou with your fellow-countrymen in every direction, you must admit, are indispensable to your development. I am reminded by these suggestions how dependent after ail communities, no less than indi viduals, are upon not only the gifts of providence, but upon each other. I never could appreciate any just euuseforje.il- ousy on the part of the west toward the east. If capital has accumulated ft, tho east, tho new country of the west perhaps needs it for its building up. if you have products to Bell, it sutely is no cause of offense if you find a market for them in the west. These conditions should make friends—not jealous and sus- f iicious enemies. Both sections are work- ug, though perhaps in different lines, to make our common country great aud wculthy. Remember, too, that you are fast becoming east to that vast country beyond you, upon which so much of your future prosperity must, depend. When I leave you I shall go on rny wuy of travel to visit our fellow citizens in the south, 1 slmll bear to older cities the im pression made by my observation of tiie fresh and astounding growth of those of the west. 1 shall see thoru a section of country whose prosperity is necessary to your prosperity. Ishulliiot find people needless of our nation’s growth and wel fare, hull shall find there, us well as here, determined, cheerful American pride of country stimulating to uetivity ami enter prise and leading, not less thero than here, to national greatness nnd glory. Thu west and south and every section are hand in hand in this sublime mission, aud no dis cord of partisan hate and rancor should tie allowed to interrupt the uudenee of their stately trend ” At the conclusion of the president’s remurks Idle people were given an opportunity to greet him and his wife They passed rapidly through tho gangway, tour abreast, and there was little or no handshaking none. Even at this rate the reception continued till 5 o’clock, and there were still a number iu line who wore left disappointed. The party re turned to tiie Coates House at the con clusion of the public reception for dinner. Tin- World's ( lihin|ilun,liI(i, PlTTSiiL’Rfi, October 13.—The Dctroits won the fourth game of the world’s cham pionship series played here to-day. Three thousand people were present. The vic tory was an easy one for tho league cham pions, who, nevertheless, played a won derful game, shutting Fit. Louis out.

The printers will call on employers to day with a view to u settlement of some kind, and they say if the bosses do not concede the points demanded all pressmen and feeders will strike at once.

Chicago, October 13.—Special dispatches to the Chicago papers this morning as to the extent of the Chicago and Atlantic horror confirm the Associated Press report direct from Kouts on the day of the disas ter. The Inter-Ocean has a particularly significant Interview with Dr. T. G. Mc Clure, of Boone Grove, who, with Dr. Mc Kee, of Kouts, was active in aiding the sufferers at the wreck. “Those remains which were recovered,” said Dr. McClure, are of persons who were sitting on seats near the wiudows, and fell outwards when the charred frame work fell to pieces, but those who were sitting inside, and whose remains fell on the rails were burned to powder, and not a vestige of them except, perhaps, a few pieces of bone, could be round. Tiie heat between these rails were sufficient to have destroyed all remains. In snch heat, when tbe charred mam cooled, it would go to powder by the embers falling on it, and nothing would ever be known of them. I was told by one of the wreckers that he saw little except of bones, and this wa* corroborated by tbe statements of others, and doubtless that was all that remained of those who fell between the tracks, for when the heat is sufficient to make the ruils underneath red-hot, and to warp and bend them into every conceivable shape, it is almost ns Intense ns in a crema tory.” Dr. McClure Btates the number burned to death as at least 16 or 18. Of the wounded he speaks definitely and his total is even higher than the press esti mate. Dr. McClure says: “At Miller’s ho tel in Kouts, after the accident, there were seven ladles and ten mon, making seven teen in all. He got the name and ad dress of the lady mentioned in the press report as having done heroic work at the wreck, helping others to os- capo. Here it is : Mrs. John Wenslnger Carey, Wyandotte county, Ohio. K. W. Frederick, who lives at Kants, and failed to get aboard the train at Hammond, said he knew there wore over fifty passenger* aboard tbe train whon it left Hammond. The Daily News lias a special from Wabash, saying: “Lew Thorne, a well- known travelling man, interviewed the porter ot tho roar Pullman ear on the train wrecked at Kout’s. The porter stated that tickets in the possession of the conductor Bhowed that nineteen passen gers were missing. The porter himself counted fifteen bodies, all burned to crisp. THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

The improvement became noticeable toward 11 o’clock, hut grangers then be came loaders in weakness. In the after noon u stronger tone was developed, with a marked decrease in business.

Liverpool improved somewhat, but the principal Influences nre to be fond in tiie universal strength of reduced estimates of the crop, as indicated by the receipt ol the iiscul reports.
