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 session until October 25 in order to clear the oalandar was, on motion of Mr. Ber ner, of Monroe, tabled.

The Party Rapidly Approaching the Em pire State. Attempt to Wreck the President's Train—The Be- ceptlon In heniphls—The City's Deesrsttsna—A Speech of Welcome Is Followed by the Angel of Deotk. 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. You may well forget all former afilictions In the growth and prosperity of the pres •nt. remembering only that in your direct extremity the proof was given of the i brotherhood of the American people. Tbo patriotic sentiment expresiad on your be half by your honored fellow-citizen in his address of welcome, X aiu sure, 1 may say, Will be generously responded to by your oountrvmcu of the north. Thoy want, I 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 name. The business interests of our peo- pl > ure too alert and intelligeut to be sac rificed or injured by selfish appeals to pas sion, which should bo allayed. Tr ey only Insist that all the results ol the arbitrament ot arms, to which reference bus here been made, shall be fully retained and unforced. There Boats i ast your city our nation’s great river, which you rlgatfully regard as the most important factor in your pres ent and future welfare, and which, I be lieve, is universally regarded as the proper object of govormentnl protection and improvement. To Memphis, ami to every other city on its banks, the improve ment ol the vat highway of commerce Is so essential that they should be interested in having this and other proper work of the the passage of Irains. Had the train been ten minutes later, however, there might have been a second ChatHWorth horror to 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, jam on the streets, the querry is: “Where who happen to be on the train, made n will next week s crowds be stored away?” careful examination of the burned timbers, J here are twenty thousand strangers which gave unmistakable evidence of an in Atlanta to-night, and crowds have attempt at train wrecking. Tho fire was just begun to wine. Every train started on the under side of the crossties, brings in an increased number of cars, ! j u such a manner that there can be no p-.is- " VT k ' sible belief that sparks were the cause of it. Then too the fire was certainly set to more than one tie at a time, l'er it could not have jumped from oneto another with burning the s U(t33CllKL'i6| BUUiCCVItJU 111 UUlllUK UUb tbO .—*T fl r— tire, when it was discovered that the description considered upon their finmes had nut eaten dangerouslv far into merits, and treed Irom schemas,sometimes the wood, and lue trestle was still safe ior ! questionable ill tholr character, and often and all of the n packed full. Next week’s crowd will exceed anything ever witnessed in Georgia. Everythiug is put iu readi ness for the president’s arrival, and deco 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 loon ascended with DeLeon, the acrobatlo aeronaut, suspended in a trapez below the basket, while he performed fool hardy feets at a dizzy atti tude. The races this afternoon were all trolling races. First race, 2:45 claas, best 3 in 5; purse $200. Four entries; Charlie 8. won tnree straight heats wiia Muscatello 2d; time 2:381, 2:35 and 2:37.

In the fourth heat Lula Hamiltonian (broke under the whip and the heat was awarded to Freddie J.; time 2:331. 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.

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. Tils Yi*llow Kt-vt-r. Washington,October 15.—Surgeon-Gen eral Hamilton has received the following 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 confirmed the diagnosis of yellow fever. The refugee ol six days from Tampa, who died in Palatka yesterday, and reported by tho city health officer as dying of yellow fever, was not reported to the oounty hoard of health until alter tlie puiuit was buried ami there .vns no autopsy. The secretary of I ho treasury reoeiveda telegram from the governor of Florida, to day, us follows: “Creditable intelligence seems to estab lisli that the epidemic at Tampa is yellow- fever. I respectfully ask such aid Lo the 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 ing him to consult with health authorities, astertain their desires, ami adding tliut the in irii:o hospital bureau is willing to provide all necessary expenses of llie hos pital, such us nurses, ami such incidental expenses as may he absolutely necessary.
