The house met at 8 o’clook.
On motion of Mr. Gordon, of Chatham,
the “old cemetery” bill which was lost
yesterday was resumed.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.
. Candler, of Dekalb, raising a joint com
mittee of two from the senate and three
from the house to determine whether or
not a Judge and solicitor for the State
Mountain circuit are to be elected by this
general assembly.
On motion of Mr. Schofield, of Bibb, the
bouse took from the table the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad bill which was
pending yesterday. The previous question
having been called Mr. Gordon of Chat
ham, chairman of the finance committee,
closed the debate in support of the bill and
gave ten minutes of the time to Mr. Tate,
of Pickens, who opposed the bill. The
hill repeals a resolution tor adjustment of
claims between the state and the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad and was
passed. Yeas 09, nays 27.
On motiou of Mr. Little, of Muscogee
(Mr. Speaker), with Mr. Gamble, of Jef
ferson, in the chair, the bill by Senator
Davidson increasing the number of judges
of the supreme court to five was taken up.
Mr. Little and Mr. McCord, of Riou-
mond, advocated the bill, showing the
overworked condition of the present court
and the imperative necessity for the in
crease.
Mr. Schofield, of Bibb, called the pre
vious question, and Mr. Berner, of Monroe,
chairman of the general judiciary commit
tee, closed the argument in a brief and
earnest appeal for a unanimous vote on the
bill. The bill passed—yeas 137, nays'O.
Mr. West, of Habersham, rose to a ques
tion of privileges. He said that an article
in the morning’s Macon Telegraph had
called attention to and commented upou
the fact that his pass over the East Ten
nessee road had been used by a third per
son and taken from him by the conductor;
he ielt that it was due to himself
to explain to the house the circum
stances of the case. He said Mr. Perry, of
Gilmer, a member of the house, holding
a pass over the same road, came to his
room, some time ago, and said he had left
his pass at. home, and wanted to g-> over
the East Tennessee road, and asked me
to let him have mine. 1 at first refused,
but in view of the lact that I knew he
held a pass of his own, over the road, 1
gave it to him, on condition that if any
question was raised by the conductor, he
should explain the circumstances under
which he held it, and should return it
to me on his return. I have not, since
that time, seen the pass. I did not lei il
out to the person who held it when it was
taken up by the conductor. I do not
know that person. 1 never saw that per
son. I did not know he had my pass. X
did not subsequently pay his car tare, and
have in no way been connected with the
matter, except against my judgment, to
have accommodated a felow-member
whom I knew held a pass of his own.
This a full and fair statement of the mut
ter.
Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, stated that lie
and his colleague, Mr. Russell, had agreed
upon an amendment to the “old cemetery”
bill which provides ;or submittiu; the
question to the voters of Chatham county
next January and there would he no op
position to the passage of the measure
thus amended. On his motion the bill was
taken up and passed as amended.
By unanimous consent the following sen
ate Dili was taken up and passed:
Changing the time of holding the fall
term of the superior court in Gwinnett
county. ,
A resolution by Mr. Calvin, of Rich
mond, providing for an extension of the

Chicago, October 15 — A News spociul
from Memphis, Tumi., says: When the
pilot train, preceding the presidential
train, arrived at the trestle between Bon-
nersville and Jonosboru, Arkansas, yester
day morning, the engineer discovered the
trestle on fire. He did not make the dis
covery until it was too late to stop the
train before tho eugi ne had passed over
the burniug portion. As soon us possible he
hacked the train off the treitlc and jump
ed down to examine the fire. H . found
that a section nhoulten feet square was in
flames, and that the tire had been started
oil the under side of the timbers. The
engineer and ail the rest of the
train men, with the help of some
passengers, succeeded in putting out
coinc the ravages of war and peslHence.

patriotic sentiment expresiad on your be

Will be generously responded to by your

bolieve, rest from sectional bitterness, and
Lhey know that the destiny of our country
Is ouly to bo achieved by a true union
in sentiment and feeling as well as in

every other city on its banks, the improve

essential that they should be interested in

Atlanta, October 15.—Looking at the
crowds wnioh have poured into Atlanta to
day, from every quarter, the already
crowded condition of the hotels, and the chronicle. A News staff correspondent,

crowd will exceed anything ever witnessed
in Georgia. Everythiug is put iu readi

rations have greatly increased in the past,
twenty-four hours and much more will be
done Monday. The government building
is elaborately and handsomely draped In
red, white and blue, and the governor’s
mansion was being beautifully decorated
this atlernoon. The Capital ‘City Club is
making very elaborate preparations, and
tne president’s reception in their beautiful
parlors will be the social event of the oc
casion.
The exposition was largely attended to
day. and the balloon ascensions were one
of the interesting features enjoyed by the
crowds. About 4 o’clock the bal

THE STOCK EXCHANGE.
A Feverish Market, With the Lowest Prices .if the
Week.
New YoRK,Oo‘oberl5.—The stock mar
ket was very active to-day, and notwith
standing phenomenal gains at the opening
was weak and depressed throughout, leav
ing a majority ot the stocks at the. lowest
prices ol the week. The Reading reorgan
ization success made a l-ev ulsion of feeling
among holders of stocks, nnd the market
rebounded from yesterday’s depression.
At the opening of the board, and among
smaller bears, a short panic occurred,
while heavy buying was noticeable all
along tile line. The bear leaders, however,
becoming alarmed, attacked tile list and
an avulariche of stocks was pressed
upon the market, quickly turn,
ing the tide In n downward direction.
While the influence of tho Depew inter
view was still felt to some extent, many
timid holders threw over their stocks,
and th > decline met with no check during
the session. The opening was remarkably
strong, most stocks showing advances
over yesterday’s liuul figures of from one
half to one-fourth per cent. The market
began to decline immediately, though
Louisville and Nashville made a fractional
advance in the early, dealings. Western
Union was the most conspicuous in early
dealings, but Jersey Central, Reading mm
Northwestern afterwards became leaders of
the decline. There were one or two halts in
the down ward movement, but no reaction
whatever, and after the issue of the bank
statement the movement was an-derated
and the close was active and weak ut the
lowest pricer, of the day. Business amount
ed to 299,099 shares. A majority pf tho j tboraafter*’twice
list are lower, although Norfolk and West- j ^.ju, yellow fever
out burning the sides of the timber more
than it did. The conclusion is almost irre
sistable that somebody had applied a torch
to at least eight or nine of the timbers.
Memphis, October 16.—The managers of
the presidential reception are quite cha
grined over the little mishap of yesterday,
and were In consultation long after mid
night with regard to the proceeding of to
day. This morning the committees were
promptly on hand, bat the late hours
of last night caused a delay in starting the
procession of carriages and again upset tbo
committee’s arrangements. No harm was
dpDe beyond a curtailment of the oppor
tunity offered tho president to see the
town. Memphis is not yet a beautiful city.
It bears too mauy of the scars of the war
and pestilence, but it is a very busy one.
Old-time ante-war aronitecture, showing
small and rusty fronts, prevails largely,
but in Its main business thoroughfares
structures of substantial appearance are
showing themselves, while wharves and
warehouses show the seething, pnshtng
energy of its business men, and gives
promise of a prosperous future. The
procession, headed by a band of military,
moved from the hotel at a quarter
before ten o’clock. The ride through
town was full of interest. Tho decorations
were probably more elaborate and more
g eneral than those of any plaoe yet visited
y the oresident, with the possible excep
tion of Madison. Whatever gay colors
could do to make the occasion a success had
been done. Twice along the line of march
beautiful bouqets of flowers oi unique de
sign were lowered into the president’s
oarriage. Twice ns many people as evdr
were seen in town were upon the streets,
but good order was preserved by the
mounted marshals. The large, handsome
ly dressed stand in Court square
was reached by the president about
10:30, and the formalities o> the reception
were begun. The formal speech of wel
come was delivered by Judgiall. T. Ellett,
o: the chancery court, a courtly gentleman
of high local repute, who spoke both for
Memphis and for the south. The president
replied as follows:
The city of Memphis represents neithei
a new settlement nor recent municipal
creation. She has a long history, full of
vicissitude and discouraging incident. Now
the largest city in Tennessee, in its first
growth was illustrated tho universal push
mid activity of its people. I have come
from sight-seeing in the wonderful west to
be still surprised in tho south. From mar
velous growth 1 have come to see not only
marvelous growth but astonishing recuper
ation. The active trade upon your streets
and in your exchanges tells ouly the tale
of one of the largest cotton marke'.s in the
world, and ol one of tho most prosperous
nnd nourishing cities in tile south.
Scarcely a trace is seen of the trials and
discouragement through which it pussed
in gaining its present position, nnd yet
when il had in 1832, by steady growth,
reached a population of 30,009 it was oecu
pied by military force, nnd for four years
Iherealtor was h Id as a fortified camp.
During ties time the people were scattered
and its growth checked. When at the
close of the war its citizens returned to
their homes they courageously setahout
repairing the damages of war and military
occupation. Although within ten years
this city afflicted
throughout
extravagant in their demunds. I desire to
return to the kind citizene of Memphis
nnd its neighborhood my thanks for their
cordial greeting, with the wish that here
after nothing but prosperity will follow
their activity and enterprise.
Memphis, October 16.—A most unfortu
nate occurrence interrupted the formali
ties of the occasion. Just as the president
closed his remarks, though the day was
not uncomfortably warm the spot was an
exposed one nnd Judge Eliot, who stood (
fhr a time with his hat off as the president
was speaking, sat down and was soon over
come by heat Dr. Bryant, of the presi
dential party, took the direction of affairs
and remained with tho unfortunate gentle
man while the president was escorted to
the cotton and merchants’ exchanges.
Later.—Judge Ellet died five minutes
after the president left the reviewing
stand. When Judge Ellet 1 sank Into his
chair in a fainting condition
some little confusion followed. Dr.
Bry ant.a sis led by PoBtmaater Ge neral Vili s
and Col. Robert T. Looney, caught him as
hi was in the act of falling to the platform.
Several gentlemen of the entertainment
committee whs were soated In close prox
imity aided in efforts that were being
made to restore him to consciousness.
Three or four of the ladies spread their
fans and did all in their power to revive
him. Water was thrown In his face and
stimulants administered. Dr. Kennedy
Jones came to the assistance of Bryant and
the two worked with the prostrate and
unconscious form, but without avail.
President Cleveland, who had just
finished hiB address stood looking at
the efforts that were being made
to revive the venerable jurist with a sad
and sympathetic countenance, while Mrs.
Cleveland seemed deeply affected. The
presidential party had left the platform be
fore Dr. Bryant sadly arose from over the
body, and turning to an acquaintance re-
marked, “Let’s join tho president’s party.”
In answer to the inquiry, “What is the
matter with Judge Ellett?” Dr. iBryant re
sponded, “He fainted and has not yet re
covered consciousness.” This was said to
dtt|tel tbe shadow of gloom that might
otherwise have been cast upon tho festivi
lies had tho true condition of tho stricken
man been made known. Tho immense
multitude who witnessed the Incident did
not realize that death had come amongst
them. They made a rush for
the exposition building, where the recep
tion was being held, leaving lo
a few friends of the judge the
sad duty of carrying his remains across tbe
street, from where they were soon aft or
wards taken to his home oil Shelby street.
The presidential reception to the public
in the hall of the cotton exchange was
about an hour in length. President and
Mrs. Cleveland were assisted by Postmas
ter-General and Mrs. Vilas. From the
exchange the party was escorted to their
I rain nt the foot oi Court street, and nt I
o’clock left for Nashville.
Bartlett, Tohii., October 16.—The pres
idential train is on time at Bartlett. The
president was greatly shocked by intelli
gence of the death of Judge Ellett, whom
he met for tho first tine yesterday, lie-
expresses the wannest sympathy with the
bereaved family. Dr. Br.vant soys he found
no signs of lite when hu reached the un
fortunate man’s side, but said nothing un
til he was relieved a few minutes inter by
tho local physicians. To those he said the
judge was dead.

No one can wonder that in the dreaded
presence of this dire calamity, its sullering
citizens fled for their lives. Of a popula

As Interesting Correspondence Between Hon. J.
T. Olivo anil thedoeernor -A Sanaa: ional Rumor
Denied—Sums Hood Reading.
Macon Teleoraph Bureau, No. 3J
Whitehall Street, Atlanta, Ga., Oc
tober 14.—For several weeks there has
beeu considerable gossip about the United
Slates senatorstiip and the opposition to
Senator Colquitt. Governor Gordon has
frequently been mentioned in this con-
lieciion, and the rumor lias gained some
ourreney that he would allow his name as
a candidate against Senator Colquitt. The
following interesting correspondence
which was furnished mo this morning
definitely settles that rumor as without
foundation, and reasserts the strong friend
ship existing between Governor Gordon
and Senator Colquitt. Mr. Olive is a mem
ber of the bouse from Oglethorpe county:
House of Representatives, Atlanta,
Ga., October 12—His Excellency, Gov
ernor John B. Gordon, Atlanta, Ga.—
Dear Hlr: I have heard it rumortd for
sometime that there had beeu tin estrange
ment between you and Senator Colquitt,
and that you wore personally inimical to
him and disagreed with him in bis views
touching a relorm of our tariff luws, an J
that you would share in tho opposition to
his re-election to the seuutc.
‘‘1 am tho friend of both of you. and
have known you to be tho life long friends
of each other, ami do not believe tho re
port. But as a mutual friend 1 would be
glad tolhave an authoritative statement
of the facts from you if your time and in
clination will permit. With greatest re
spect, 1 am tuly your friend,
“J. T. Olive.”
Atlanta October 14.—Hon. J. T. Olive,
House of Representatives—My Dear Sir: 1
had heard with surprise and regret the ru
mor to whioh you refer, and am glad to
have the opportunity of making the “duth-
nutative statement” which you request.
The report that there is au estrangement
between Senator Colquitt and myself is
without any foundation whatever, and I
am sure that no one who knows the char
acter of my friendships would give circu
lation or credence to such a rumor. Sena
tor Colquitt is, and has long been, my close
personal friend, aud our relations were
never more thoroughly cordial than now
Our long personal intimacy would forbid
any estrangement, even if we differed as to
public politics. As to the wisdom and
necessity far reform in our tariff laws, how
ever. we do not differ, but wo are in per
fect accord. My opinions on this subject
were formed mauy years ago, and have
long since ripened into profound convic
tions. I am sinoerely and faithfully
yours, “J. B. Gordon.”
Telegraph Wires Melted.
Washington, October 16.—Telegraphic
communication with Charleston, S. C.,
which was out off shortly after midnight,
was restored at an early hour this morn
ing. Tbe interruption was caused by a
fire at Magnolia, a suburb of Charleston,
whioh melted all the wires running into
the city.
Dispatches are arriving here all day mak
ing inquiries as to the condition of the city,
and whether there had been, us repotted,
another earthquake. All this trouble
? ;rew out of a small lire at a railroad cross-
ng, about tbreo miles from the city,
which burned down some telegraph poles
and cut off communication witli this city
for several hours. The total
loss by fire did |oot exceed
ffiJoOO, and not more than one man in a
thousand ill this city knew that tlieic had
been a blaze. As foratmospherieund elec
trical disturbances, we have had nothing
ol this kind to ninonnt to anything since
August 31,187ti. Tho earth is more solid
at Charleston than it was ever before, and
there has been no serious disturbance of
any khid whatever iu the lust two months.

telegram from Dr. Ames, secretary of tho
board of health of l’litnam oounty, Fla.,
dated Palatka, October 14: A rolugeo of
► ix days from Tampa died at Intorlauhie,
eighteen miles wc-t of I’alatka, yesterday.
I made an autopsy and the mlo oscope

The refugee ol six days from Tampa, who

“Creditable intelligence seems to estab
lisli that the epidemic at Tampa is yellow-

local health authorities in suppressing the
disease and preventing its spread as you
can do.”
Hec.-etar.v Fairchild sent a telegram in
reply, saying tnal orders have been given
Surgeon-General Hamilton, of the ruuruu
hospital service, to render such
aid to tin: local authorities as he
may deem expedient. Surgeon-General
Hamilton subsequently telegraphed De
puty Collector Spencer, at Tampa, instruct

astertain their desires, ami adding tliut
the in irii:o hospital bureau is willing to
provide all necessary expenses of llie hos
