WHAT WAM DONE AT THE KEGILAR
MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Atlanta, Oct. 3.—The election here
while it passed off without disturbance,
was a fitting wind-up of a heated cam
paign. The triangular fight brought into
play evey shade of politics, for which Ful
ton is noted, and up till a late hour to
night there was no diminuation in the ex
citement.
Interest centered in the Senatorial con
test and it was evident and conceded early
in the flay that the vicory would be one
of small majorities Ham Small’s vote
was i he unknown quantity which gave an
uncertainty to all estimates and left
the result in doubt till the
ballots w< re counted. Eh: negroes
voted almost solidly for the Republican
ticket and the Van Pelt vote shows that
the O. O. P’s is still a factor in the dis
trict. All sorts of rumors and alleged elec
tion returns filled the air this afterno m,
arid to-night declaring Democratic defeat,
and the Small crowd were abroad with
jubilant smile) as th-y steadily increased
their fictitious majorities. Democrats who
stood by the party organization were in
some suspense, and their criticisms of the
white men who are giving aid and com
fort to 'he enemy were more vigorous than
elegant.
From the returns recuiv d, Rice, the
Democratic nominee, carried the three
counties in the district by between twelve
and fifteen hundred majority.
In Clayton the rnaj >rity was only thirty,
and in Cobo about 1000.
The majority in Fulton is about. 400, and
Small appears to have run behind the Re
publican ticket. The S ate ticket received
a large vote,and the Democratic n >minees
for the legislature, Howell, Venable and
O’Neill, went through without trouble.
Talbot.
Ta i.motto.n, Oct. 3.—The election passed
off very quietly. There were 303 votes
polled in Talpotton. At this pre
cinct Maxwell’s majority for the
House is sixty-five. The Gov
ernor and State House officers received a
full vote. Oil the Constitutional amend
ment there were nine for and two hundred
and ninety-nine against it. All are satis
fied Maxwell will be elected representa
tive two to one. Thus it will be always in
Talbot for Independents.
tjiiihuan.
Georgetown, Get 3.—The election
passed oil quietly owing to the fact that
Si. L. Albritton had no opposition, as Gav
retired from the contest yesterday. W.
M. Scars. Webster’s candidate for the
Senate, defeated W. W. Fitzgerald, Stew
art’s candidate, by thirty-nine votes in this
county. It. is safe to predict Fitzgerald’s
election by five hundred majority iu the
district.
Troup.
LaGrange, Oct. 3.—We had a very quiet
election. Farmers are so busy that they
did not turn out,and there was an unusally
light vote. Home parties worked against
ratification of the constitutional amend
ment. The vote here for Gordon and
State House officers, mid Sharpe for Sena
tor, averaged 166. For Representatives.
Thos. H. Whitaker 165 votes, and J. N.
Carleton 152. The vote on the constitu
tional amendment w«s 95 for to 43 against.
Troup sends an able representation, in
cluding one of her best lawyers. Judge
Whitaker will make a working and active
member, with a tine knowledge of past
legislation.
Spalding.
Griffin, Ga., Oct. 3.—Spalding’s De
mocracy uro again to the front. The regu
lar nominees for Senator and Representa
tive wore opposed by two negroes. If the
negroes ban had their taxes paid up it
would have been a rough day, for they are
in the majority in the county. Some few
votes were cast for the negro bishop,
Turner, for Governor. The election pass
ed off quietly.
Monroe.
Forsyth, Oct. 3.—The Democratic nom
inees for Representatives, Jterner and
Crowder, were elected to-day. The Re
publican ticket was Wood and Butler, two
negroes. Ratification of the Con titutional
Amendment is ahead so far as heard from.
A pretty fair vote was polled all over the
county.
Coweta.
Newnan, Oct. 3.—Theelection in Coweta
couhty was quiet, only one-third of the full
vote being polled. Capt. Levi Ballard, of
Campbell, is elected to the Senate and W.
T. Atkinson and J. P. Jones to the lower
House.
Marlon.
Buena Vista, Oct. 3.—The election for
Representative passed off very quietly here
to-day. So far the country precincts have
not been heard from, but it is generally
conceded that Vincent Montgomery, Dem
ocratic nominee, is a long, way ahead,
having t>eat the Republican candidate, B.
H. Andrews, about 300 votes.
SCHOOL. OF TECHNOLOGY.
A Mont l’ropitioim Opening—Subject Mat
ter of the Examination.
Atlanta, Oct. 3.—The State School of
Technology opened its doors this morning.
The formal exercises inaugurating the in
stitution have been assigned for a later
day, but its real work began to-day. Presi
dent Hopkins expressed himself to your
correspondent as greatly gratified at the
start made. He said he liad had many
years experience in schools and colleges,
out a finer looking, manlier, more earnest
body of boys he never saw together.
In a large hall on t he first floor of the
main building the applicants for admission
were gathered at 9 o’clock, and for two
hours were examined in mathematics.
This was followed by English and history,
and to-morrow will conclude with geogra
phy, short examination and specials for
advanced classes. The examinations are
written with ten questions ineach branch.
The applicants who satisfactorily pass
these examinations will be admitted to the
institute. Tnere were in attendance this
morning eighty-seven young men. Others
are on the way, and notice has been re
ceived that they will be here in a few
days. President Hopkins is confident the
number iu attendance will be au even
hundred before the week is out.
This is oertaiuly a fine beginning for a
new enterprise, and argues well for its
success.
The institution will be formally turned
over to the Board of Trustees of the
University to-morrow, by the commis
sioners. and at the opera house Friday
night, the institute will be publicly inaug
urated with appropriate ceremonies. It
is expected addresses will be made by
Governor Gordon, Mayor Cooper, ex-
Governor McDaniel, N. E. Harris, Presi
dent Hopkins, and others.

ASSASSINATED IN SIGHT OF HOME.
, Monday afternoon, Jacob Howton, a
well-to-do and respected farmer living
about twenty miles from this city, was
killed near his home by unknown assas
sins. He had been to the city and was
returning home on horseback when he
was shot trom ambush and killed. His
dead body was not found by his friends
until next day, and there is no clue to
the murderer.
About one year ago a brother of Howton
was killed by a neighbor named Thomas

Before the minutes were read Alderman

asked if his seat in Council was thereby
vacated. He stated that he still held
property interest in the Eighth ward and
that his residence in the Taird might be

FIRST CHRISTIAN BURIAL AT DECATUR
Dr. W. B. Black, who died at Decatur,
was the first victim of the yellow fever
there who lias received a Christian burial.
He was one of the oldest and best known
physicians of the city, and his funeral was
largely attended.
THE REPORT FROM DECATUR.
Five new cases and three deaths were
reported to day. The deaths were Marine
Hooker, Dr. Black and Robert Orr. Three-
fourths of the new cases reported for the
past three davs were colored people.
There was a light frost at Decatur this
morning, but not enough to check the
fever. Dr. Cochran advises all refugees to
stay away for someti me yet. The supply
of provisions is again exhausted, but
another car load is expected to-morrow.

Chicago, Oct. 3.—The North Side street
car conductors and drivers decided at 4
o’clock this morning to go out on a strike
on next Saturday morning. The vote by
which the strike was decided upon was
400 to 7.
The meeting of the men to take final
action on the course to be pursued was not
called to order until after midnight, at
which time a large majority of conductors
and drivers employed on the North Side
were present. It was evident from the
start that mast of tne men were bent on
rejecting the offers of President
Yerkes. Luke Coyne and John Goodwin,
three street car organizations of the city,

The Death of Col. Daniel Atfeets the Whole
Clly—For a Time They Forget All Else.
Jacksonville, Oct. 3.—The situation
to-day preseuts no new features. Tne sub
ject uppermost in the public mind is the
death ofC >i. J. J. Daniel. He had been a
resident of Jacksonville since 1842, and fib
man in the State was more highly esteemed
for ability, integrity, public spirit and
moral worth. He was a member of the
law firm of Fleming & Daniel, the leading
attorneys of Florida, one of the
junior members of the firm,
Captain Frank P. Fleming, being
the Democratic candidate for Governor
The Auxialiary Association of which Col
Daniel was president, met today and
passed suitable resolutions on his death
and adjourned without transacting any
other business. The banks have been
closed during the day. Tne building was
draped in mourning aud business was gen
erally suspended.
Any bright features which the situation
preseuts are dimmed by gloom and grief
consequent upon the death of the large-
hearted man. Dr. Neal Mitchell, presi
dent of the Board of Health,
issued the following official bulletin for
the twenty-four hours endibg at 6 p. m. :
New cases, 73; deaths, 6; total cases to
date, 2896; total deaths, 270. Of the new
cases, 32 are white and 41 colored; nearer
approach to equality than for many weeks
past.
There is a movement on foot to raise a
fund for the erection of a monument to
the memory of Col. James Jaquetiu
j JIauiel. The Times-Union will, to morrow,
1 give its strongost possible endorsement,
editorially, and make au appeal to the
friends of the dead philanthropist in
whatever part of the country they may
chance to be.
There can be no doubt of the success of
this movement and it is confidently ex
pected that many thousands of dollars
will be raised.
Strange to say, Jacksonville has not one
monument within its confines. It has two bills, 143 D; W VV Berry, two bills, 628 35; S

Alderman Kirven stated that he had removed
from the Eighth to the Third Ward, though it
might be only temp )rary, and asked if his seat
was thereby vacated.
His Honor, the Mayor, thought that under the
law it was rendered vacant.
The minutes of the last regular, adjourned and
called meetings were read aud confirmed.
The ordinance by Alderman Garrett in refer
ence to trustees of the public schools was taken
up, but at his request laid over till next meeting.
The f allowing two ordinances were taken up
on their second reading and adopted:
Be it ordained. That From and after the passage
of this ordinance, no goose or flock of geese
shall be permitted to run at large and loose in
any of the streets or parks of the city, and anv
goose or flock of geese so found running at large
shall be imprisoned by the Chief of Police, who
shall advertise, and sell the same afier giving
three days notice of time aud place of det ntion,
and unless the owner shall wi;hin that time re
deem the same by paying 10 cents for each goose
per day for feeding. When sold net proceeds
shall be turned over to City Treasurer for ac
count of owner Provided further that the
owner of any flock of geese is permitted to graze
them on the commons, by keeping some person
to watch and guard them so that they do not run
at large upon the streets of this city.
ORDINANCE TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Council of the
city of Columbus, that from and after the passage
of this ordinance, all persons (especially boysi
unconnected with railroad trains, are prohibited
from getting on the engines and cars within this
city, unles-. for the bona fide purpose of taking
passage on the same, and all offenders shall be
arrested by any special, or other policeman of
this city, and on conviction, shall be fined not
exceeding $5, or be imprisoned not exceeding
twenty-four hours. Any person unconnected
with railroad trains, jumping or getting on or off
a moving train in said city, shall be subject to
same punishment. Provided, however, that
nothing in this ordinance shall be construed so
as to interfere with persons*meeting friends, or
seeing them off on the train or cars, when the
same are not in motion.
The Committee on Accounts reported that they
had approved the following bills, referred at last
meeting:

The grievances of the men are twofold.
They oppose the set car system, and de-
\ nmnd increased wages. By the set car
! system is meant the schedule or time
taole, by means of which the men claim to
be actually on duty for thirteen hours, , „
while they are only paid for twelve hours ^j. an( j p jt c ij Q f wood, turpentine
of work, and that the car is changed 1
daily so that they have no regular time
for sleeping or eating, and their health is
consequently impaired. They demand 27
cents an hour, and an agreement that they
shall not be compelled to work more than
ten, nor less than eight hours a day.

made the most pejfeot revenue measure
ever placed on too state books.
The issue between the two bills was to
be, he said, tried before the people. It was
a plain, fair, square issue between a tariff
for revenue only and tariff for revenue and
protection. It was a question whether
the articles necessary for human life
should be made by American labor or by
foreign labor. Whether the wages of the
American laborers should depend on the
wages of foreign laborers, or should de
pend upon the American policy of protect
ing all forms of labor and production.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sherman’s
speech, the Senate, at 1 o’clock, resumed
tue consideration of Mr, lidos' resolution
of Monday last, calling on the Secretary
of War for an explanation of General
Benet’s circular as to the discharge of the
Republican employes in the United States
arsenal and armories.
Mr. Ubckroll oroceeded to discuss tha
if-
the
of
1882, calling on theGov*rninont employes
to contribute to the Republican campaign
fund, such circular having been signed by
Messrs. Allison, Hale, Aldrich and His-
cock—the latter was then in the House.
He also quoted Garfield’s letter to Dorsey
‘‘of somewhat star route notoriety,” ask
ing him to have Mr. Brady, second assist
ant Postmaster-Gonoral called upon for
aid, and one from Levi P. Morton to Dor
sey staling.!hat he had contributed $30,IKK),
and Mr. Morton’s name, be said, was fa
miliar as the present Repuolican candidate
for Vice-President.
He simply road those letters, ho said,
to refresh the memory of the Senator
from Maine (Mr. Hale), and to show the
depth of degredation to which the civil
service of the government had bueu
brought under the Republican administra
tion in 1880 and 1882. It could never sink
into lower depths than It sank tnen. It
had become so utterly degr aded that the
Republican party was forced to take up
ana pass the Pendleton civil service bill.
The position now occupied by Mr. Hale
under the pretence of defending that law
was, he assorted, the stab of a pretended
friend. The Cleveland administration had

Detroit, Mich.. Oct. 3.—Mr. Blaine
made his first speech in Michigan to-night.
He was greeted by a very large crowd, who
cheered enthusiastically whenever he
made a hit at the Democratic party.
He attacked Mr. Cleveland in his open
ing sentence aud kept it up to the end.
He spoke chiefly of the President’s vetoing
pension bills, aud >poke very touchingly of
the “ poor soldier” who had "offered his
body to the cannon balls of his country’s
enemy.”
He then attacked the position taken by
the Dem.oerats in regard to the surplus
and said that the “poor soldier” should
should have a slice, and said that Secre

Fairchild.
He closed with an exhortation to the
