Atlanta, Oct. 9.—The re-election to the
Legislature of Hon. Bill flfenn, of Whit
field, recalls the famous Glenn bill, and the
commotion it caused over the Union
not stated whether a similar oill wil

is sure to come up in some shape. Chappell. Major John .Sparks and Hon.
Judging from some intimations in regard Joe Terrell, of Greenville: Col. Roland
to the matter of the annual appropriation Willis, Hon. Henry Persous. J. H. Martin
to the Atlanta University it will be touched and^ Solicitor-Genl-ral James H. Worrill,
upon in the Governsor’ message, and some
suggestions made concerning it It is a
fact that the appropriation of *8,000 to that
institution for 1883 is still in the .State
Treasury awaiting the disposition of the
Legislature. The appropriation was not
paid over to the authorized agent
of the Atlanta University, because
the managers of the institution de
clined to conform to the law In
regard to the co-education of the races,
preferring to recoup from the purses of
Northern “negrophilists.” The governor
in his message will probably recommend
that the 1-eginlatare appropriate the sum
of flfl,000, which includes tne appropria
tion for 1838, the whole amount to be dis
tributed next year among such negro edu
cational institutions as will comply with
the law of the State on this subject.
The discussion growing out of this rec
ommendation may lead to some definite
legislation on the line of the old Glenn
bill. It is not likely that theopen and defi
ant resolution of the policy of the State on
the co education of the races will be much
longer ignored by the Georgia Legislature,
and when it does act its action will be de
cisive.
J. D. Vaun, a white man, committed a
murder In Chattooga county on the night
Henry Pope was lynched. Vaun was tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be executed
November 3, next. The Governor has re
ceived uu application for a commutation
of this sentence; and a strong effort will be
made to induce him to interfere.
Suspicion is entertained in the Comp
troller- leneral’s office that there is some
crooked work going on in the applications
for the allowance under the act for the re
lief of maimed and disabled soldiers in one
of the North Georgia counties. These
applications come in large numbers
from a county which contributed few sol
diers to the Confederacy and the common
defence, and the number of crippled and
otherwise disabled soldiers claiming resi
dence there first, excited suspicion, and a
quiet investigation is beinj' made. This
investigation may, and it Is hoped will,
show no ground for the suspicion.
Thu Secretary of State has c onsolidated

Early this morning a woman named
Irene Posteli was found near her room in
the hail of a prominent building, bound,
gagged, chloroformed, and with a rope
tied tight around her neck; breathing
was suspended, and death imminent when
the police lound her. During the day she
had trouble with a woman named Duua-
way, who had threatened to kill her, and
two of Dunaway’s male friends W'ent to
her home, and at the point of a pistol, tied
her arms and feet, gagged her and tied a
rope around her neck to choke her to
death. The woman will die. One man
has been arrested on suspicion.
Remus Jones, a young white man living
on Hunter street, took morphine to kill
himself this afternoon, and died at an j
early hour to-night. Remus and Rufus
Jones are well-known twins, and both
have recently served third drunk sentences

ted to mental depression induced by drink.

A THRIVING COUNTY.
Ty-Ty snip* a* Many Bale* of Cotton in
One Day a* In :i Season Formerly.
Ty-Ty, Ua., Oct. 9.—There was the big
gest shipment of cotton made from here
yesterday that has ever been made in one
day. The amount shipped was 109 bales,
forty bales going to Albany, the remainder
to Savannah and Baltimore, Md. Just
think for a moment of there being more
cotton shipped now in one day than there
was six years ago for the whole season,
and you can imagine in part how the farm
ing interest is being developed in this
wiregrass county. There have been about
500 bales received here up to this date, and
the receipts are rapidly increasing every
day.
Airs. James Gibbs, Sr., died at her home
two miles north of town, at 5 o’clock yes

walk for several days on account of a sore
on one of her ankles, and her death is sup

poisouiug from the sore. She will be
greatly missed by her many close and inti
mate friends, not only of this community,
but also of the entire county roundabout,
as she and her faithful husband were pio

Washington, Oct. 9.—in the Senate,
this morning, the Conference report on
the deficiency bill was presented and re td
in lull. Air. Edmunds inquired of Mr.
Hale why tne Senate conferees had agreed
to striking out the provision granting
the balance of the year’s salary of Chief
Sustice W'aiie to bis widow. Air. Hale
stated in reply that? the subject had
been fully discussed ever and over again,
and that the House Conference had taken
the ground that they could not assent
to it.
The conferebce report was agreed to.
The bill as to the counting of Presi
dential votes was then taken up and passed.
Mr. Harris, from the Committee on Epi

The Senate Can’t Be Kept Together
Vote on the Tariff Substitute.
Washington, Oct. 9.—An Informal con
ference of the Republican Senators was
held this morning to talk over the general
situation, and more especially to arrange
the course of the debate on the tariff bill.
The results were meagre, owing to the
doubt everywhere entertained whether a
quorum of the Senate can be held in
Washington should the tariff debate be
protracted beyond next week. A dozen
or more Senators were named who desire
to make speeches and a list of Republicans
was started wh’.ch so tar includes the
names of Messrs. Hiscoek, Cuil >m, Platt,
Spooner, Aldrich and Teiler. Tne desire
of a number of Senators, however, to
get away is very strong. and
with the system of pairs prevailing in the
Senate, and always rigidly adhered to,
every absentee reduces the voting force
by two.
In considering these matters, it be
comes apparent that there wouid be
great difficulty jn keeping a voting quo
rum to act upon the amendments, and
finally upon the bill. No action was taken
in the conference, and no definite policy
was sketched, but there is reason to
believe that if the Senate finds itself for
any length of time without a quorum
either adjournment sine die or recess for
several weeks will be taken. It therefore
now seems probable that this seession
will practically come to an end at the end
of the week, or early in the week after,

made the opening address for the United

Jenks in the Circuit Court of the United

The Bell company entered a demurrer to

the bill was referred to the Committee on
Judiciary.
Mr. Edmunds immediately left the
Senate chambe”, stating iu an undertone
tnat there would be a meeting of the
Judiciary Committee iu about two min-
| UteS.
Mr. Edmunds reported from the Com
mittee on Judiciary the bill to pay to the
widow of Chief Justic Waite tne balance
j of his year’s salary, and as Mr. Berry still
i objected to its immediate consideration,
i the bill was placed on the calendar. After
wards the statement was made by Air.
Coke that be and Mr. George had voted
against it in the committee.
The Senate at 2:20 resumed the consider
ation of the tariff oill and was addressed
by Air. Hiscock, a number of the Finance
Committee. Tne issue, he said, wa3 fairly
drawu between the two political parties.
The question was free trade or protection
to American labor. Neither subterfuge
nor new confessions of faith would conceal
vote of the State, notwithstanding the fact
that the executive committee of the State
Committee of that party has arranged
to sell out the best part of the Labor ticket
to the Republicans. The bargain was com
pleted in this city nearly ten days since,
but the Labor party State Committee has
not yet met to ratify the action of its exec
utive committee. Ahira Alanring,
the Labor candidate for Gover
nor, whose name was, by the conditions of
the bargain, to be withdrawn from the
ticket and the name of E. E. Kimball, the
Republican nominee, substituted, refused
to be dropped, and the chances are that

remained clear and strong to the close of
1 his forty minutes’ speech. His manner of
speaking was plain, simple and direct,
and in his choice of words, he used home
ly Anglo Saxon that was as intelligible to
the laity present as to learned justices
themselves.
Standing erect, facing the court, his
right hand holding his eye-glasses and his
left at the pocket of his trousers, he spoke
slowly and distinctly and with an absence
of oratorical flourish. When ne desired to
emphasize some point in the argument it
was done with a simple downward move

no pertinency, as showing the opinions of

Savannah, Oct. 9.—At a meeting of the
newspaper men of this city, held to-day, it
was resolved to raise a fund for the benefit
of the family of the late Edwin Martiu,
editor of the Jacksonville, Fla., Times-
Union, who died in that city on Sunday of
yellow fever. His sense of duty to his
paper was the only consideration which
influenced him in remaining at his post.
For sixteen years be has been connected
with the editorial and mechanical depart
ments of daily and weekly journals. His

The money already subscribed in the
Savannah offices amounts to over $200.
Fir#* in a N«mv York Livery Stable.
New York, Oct. 9.—The livery stables,
extending from 404 to 410 East Thirty-
fourth street, burned about 2 o’clock this
morning, and iu them were burned to
death Thomas Carr, newsboy, eighteen
years old, and twenty-seven horses. John
Roach, another newsboy, sleeping in the
stable with Carr, was so severely burned
that he is not expected to recover. Tne
stable was a one-story wooden structure.
It w'tts owned by the well-known horse
man. D. D. Withers, who sub-let it to a
number of truck men. The horses be
longed to them, and in addition, they lost
about thirty cabs and trucks stored there.
Their total loss is about $40,000 ; loss on
stable about *1000. The origin of the fire
is unknown.
A New Whisky Dodge.
Nashville, Oct. 9. Edward King,a prom
inent Prohibitionist and druggist at
Normandy, Tenn., was arrested yesterday
by Deputy United States Marshal C. Car
den, for selling whisky in his store without
license. Kiu^ was brought here and
tried before United States Commissioner
W. G. Wood, and bound over to court.
A. J. Shrimsher, John M. Reed and Mika
Holahan, of Normandy, were the wit
nesses against Air. King. They testified
that’they would go in a drug store aud
give ten cents for a common stick of candy
and get a good drink of whisky. Mike
Holoban testified that he was particularly
fond of candy, and incidentally must have
been particularly fond of whisky, too.
The Emperor William ami Russia.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 9.—The Journal
DeSt. Petersburg denies the reports that
Emperor William intended to mention at
Vienna and Rome any engagement he
may have made with Russia in relation to
Bulgaria. “The object of his visit,” the
Journal says, “is to solemnly reaffirm the
triple alliauce and not to consider any
special questions which may arise.” A
to conceal the purpose of their party. But
the official utterances of the President and
the reports of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, emphasized by Mr. Mills’ bill, which
had been endorsed by the National Demo
cratic Convention, aud which had passed
the House by a strict party vo e, left no
doubt whatever as to the true position of
the Democratic party ou that great eco
nomic question.
There was no question as to the amount
of the reduction of taxation. The question
was as to the manner of it. He examined
some of the details of the Mills bill to
prove that in the proposed reductions
there were discriminations in favor of the
industries of the Confederate States as
against the industries of the Northern
States.
Mr. Hawley suggested as an explanation
of that fact that of the Democratic mem
bers of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, which made up the Mills bill, six
were from the Confederate States and two
from the Northern States.
At the close of Mr. Hiscock’s remarks.
Mr. Bate obtained the floor and the tariff
bill went over till to-morrow.
Mr. Edmunds appealed to Mr. Berry to
withdraw his objection to the considera
tion of the bill for the benefit of the widow
of Chief Justice Waite.
Mr. Berry declined to withdraw his ob
jection, stating that it would be equivalent
to a consent to the passage of the bill,
which he considered thoroughly bad.
Mr. Edmunds thereupon gave notice
that he would to-morrow morning move
to take up the bill for consideration, and
then, at 4:10, the Senate adjourned.

When he took up the opinion of Judge
Cole, of Massachusetts, overruling the
Government’s demurrer, he said it seemed
to be a sin in the eyes of some Judges not
to blindly follow the decisions of their
predecessors, and this, he said, “ seemed
to be particularly true in the good old
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.”
“We, in the West,” he continued, with
a smile, “don’t think so, aud if the judge
renders a wrong decision, and another
judge gets a chance to reverse his decision,
he is very apt to do it.”
Judge Thurman, in his argument, said
that the Bell Company conceded the
constitutional right ot the Government to
enact the statue giving the Attorney-
General the power to bring suit to cancel
tne patent, but maintained, in the absence
of such a.statue, the Attorney-General had
no snch power. Judge Thurman asserted
that no Congressional action was necessary;
that the constitution gave ample authority
for the bringing of suit, and he declared
that Congress could not, evern by express
statue, limit this power, for it would
thereby abrogate the constitution.

His charge to the grand jury was lucid

For the consideration of the House, dur- |
ing the morning hour, Mr. McRae, of Ar
kansas, on behalf of the Committee on
Public Lands, called up the Senate bill to
relieve the purchasers of, and indemnify
ing certain States for swamp and over
flowed lands disposed or. Subsequently,
Mr. McRae, recognizing the fact that the
bill could not be passed without the pres
ence of a quorum, asked that the hour be
considered as having expired. But to this
Mr. Jackson, of Pennsylvania, objected.
Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, said: “I want
to give notice that there shall be no legis
lation during this session unless there is a
quorum present, except on appropriation
bills and pension bills.”
Mr. O'Neil, of Pennsylvania—“I would
not say that; I would except private bills
| t« which there is no objection.”
Mr. T ’aylor—“I mean just what I say.”
Mr. AlcRae thereupon withdrew his .bill.
Mr. Barnes obtained unanimous consent
to report from the Committee on Appro
priations the bill appropriating *50,000 for
the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion
| act, and it was passed without debate.
Tne Senate bill was passed supplement-
i al to the act of February 3,1SS7, providing
for the meeting of the Presidential elec

Senate forthwith after the second Monday

the conference report on the general de
ficiency appropriation bill.
On agreeing to the report the vote
stood 34 to 3. and Mr. Dougherty, of Flor

that no business, except the appropriation

Chicago, Oct. 9.—The two great street
car systems of the West and North Sides
are now tied up. The strike on the West
Side began thi* morning as soon as the last
• night car was run into the barns.
For a time last night it seemed rs it this
new complication could be avoided ami
the original strike settled amicably, but
: the peace negotiations which were con
ducted in Mayor Roche’s private office
failed, because the company and the men
could not agre • on the subject of wages.
President Yorkes opened the conference
with an offer to correct the present system
of hours as far as possible. Au agreement
was reached on this point, but when the
wage question was taken up the men
insisted upon 25 cents au hour for the grip
men, 23 cent.* for the trial and grip con
ductors, and 22 cents l‘»r the torse-ear
men. Mr. Yorkes offered 30 coots for
the horse-car men and 21 cents for tho
grip car men. The strikers refused to
make any concession, and after much
argumeut the conference broke up.
A committee of tue West Side car meu
wh.s waiting to learn the result, and when
the failue to reach an agreement was
reported, their chairman said the strike
would be ordered, and hurried away.
A committee of the strikers waited upon
the Mayor early in the evening to com
plain about the retention of special detec
tives to guard the company’s barns. These
specials, they argued were a
menace to life and they also
denied that they were needed
by the company. “ The city jsdico,” said
the Chairman, “can give Air. Yorkes all
the protection he needs, ami while they
are around there will be but little danger
of any serious outbreak.
The committee left, and a short time af
terwards the Mayor sent fur President
Yorke*, whom he asked to discharge tho
detectives. He said he would furnish
enough policemen to protect the com
pany’s hams. Air. Yorkes promptly
acquiesced in the request, and tho specials
are supplanted by regular policemen.
It was said this m irning that the Execu
tive Committee of the South Side railway
organization wouid tender the North and
West Side strikers financial assistance it
necessary.
This afternoon, at the corner of G irflold
avenue aud Larrabee street, the first
obstruction was placed on tho street car
tracks, by a number of boys. A large plank
was laid across the car tracks and f istened
securely by iron spikes. The strikers,
themselves, took no part in tho work.
When six Garfield avenue cars
came from their down-trip they
were stopped by the obstacle. The police
of the patrol wagon did not offer to remove
tho obstruction. The strikers immediately
surrounded t ho vehicles and commenced
their appeals Under these influences,
three of the drivers left the cars aud wont
over to the strikers.
The boys were borne on the shoulders of
the crowd to a saloon, where their pockets
were filled with cigars. The success of
this action led others to follow the boys’
example, and a riot resulted. The open
space at the corner of Garfield and
Larrabee streets, was jammed with
a bowliug mob, > and the tracks
were covered with obstructions. Home of
the employes of the road and the officers
removed the debris, but as IWit as it could
be taken away it was replaced. The mob
became so great that the Sergeant in cott
mand of t he men ordered a charge.
The officers, aggravated aomewhat, re
sponded with a will. They made a rush,
and used their clubs freely. Men and boys

■ "• The filching of money from the clerks
was not the only imposition practiced
under the old spoils system. The de
partments were converted into a politi-
tical camp; public business was subordi
nated to partisan success; unjust and out
rageous discriminations, with the knowl
edge and connivance of the principal offi
cials, were practiced against citizens of
the opposing political party, and the pub
lic treasury was made to contribute largely
to the campaign fund of the party

of time while absent from their duties en

Mrs. Salisbury presented to the Board
the picture of her deceased husband,which
will hang in the picture gallery of the
original trustees. It is considered very
proper that the picture of such a friend to
enterprise and public education should be
kept before the sous and daughters of our

by a severe blow. Three men were caught
spiking the rails at Halstead street and
were locked up.
Alderman Reich, of the Twenty-third
ward, took part in the trouble which oc
curred at Garfield avenue and Burting
street. At this corner the water pipe was
being placed under the track, and the
horses had to bo unhitched and taken to
the other side. The blue coats shoved tho
first car over, and tho policemen on tho
second car were about to do tho same,
when Alderman Reich stopped forward.
“By God, don’t touch those cars,” yelled
the Alderman. “Let every officer keep
his hands from them and let tho scaos do
it. It’s a damn shame to have them scabs
run cars. Stay right on the cars, officers;
don’t make a move to help them. If
Yorkes intends to run this road he has got
to get up early in the morning.”

In a moment after the car stopped the
city was a pandemonium, stones and sticks
were hurled at the car and the air raug
with yells and curses. A Hying brick
caught the Superintendent in the stomach,
littering an oath he pulled a revolver from
his overcoat pocket, and turned menacing
toward the crowd. Conductor Har
ris, who had been discharged
by the company, for cause long
previous to the strike, but re-ernployed in
an emergency, followed quickly the exam
ple of the superintendent. Both were
disarmed by the jiolice. Nogel left the
car, and when off his guard for a mo ment,
received a stunning blow in the jaw from a
heavy built man, who was somewhat un

less powerful for that. A general scrim

mother, and Mrs. Martha Cates, situated
south of the railroad, was discovered on
fire. After breaking open the door Wade
was found unconscious at his mother’s bed.
He was taken out, but died in a few min
utes. His mother was dead before she was
taken out.
Airs. Cates was not found until her limbs
and arms were burned off, and she died in
a short time. A shoe knife covered with
blood and a bottle of Paris green were
taken from Wade's pocket, and the indica
tions are that he murdered the two women
and then committed suicide. The testi
mony before the coroner tends to suDstan-
tiate thus theory.
Airs. Cats, s was the widow of a soldier,
and resided with Airs. Hoggins, who had
reared her from a child. In 137d Airs. Cates
was granted *1400 arrearage of pension
and a regular pension of $10 a month.
Wade illegally assumed her guardianship,
and appropriated the money to his own
credit.
Finally she complained to the Grand
Army Republic post of her treatment by
Wade. A legal guardian was appointed,
and it was found that Wade had appro
priated $5800 of her money. To-day
Wade would have been compelled to
account for the money, and it is presum
ed that he had been brooding over
the matter so much that he became in
sane, went to his mother’s house last
night, and after murdering Airs. Cates, set
fire to the structure. He is then supposed
to have taken a large dose of Paris green,
and thrown himself into the flames.
