KEMMLEli’S LAST DAY.
WHEN THE ELECTRIC CURRENT WILL
TAKE HIM OFF.
Auhurn, N. Y., April 29.—Kemmler
has awakened upon the second day of his
last week of life, and has not yet been
summoned to the chamber of death. Re
ports from his cell this morning do not in
dicate any change in his demeanor. It is
related that he was asked a few days ago
if he had any request to make as to the
day of his death, within the week ap
pointed. He replied that he didn’t care
to be consulted in the. matter, and that
the warden could suit his own convenience.
It made no difference no him when the
affair took place, lie didn't know but
what it would be better for all parties con
cerned to have it over early in the week.
Nothing is positively known, as yet, as
to the day Warden Durston has fixed upon
for the execution, but from the prepara
tions going on, and the arrival of the
physicians and scientists, who are to be
present, the impression lias become well
grounded that Wednesday morning is the
time. It also seems reasonable that the
execution will take place before the con
victs are astir, and the rising gong sounded
at 5:30 o’clock. The tragedy may be on-
acted before daylight.
THE FEDERAL COURT INTERFERES.
A writ of habeas corpus was granted to
day by Judge Wallace, of the United
States Circuit Court, for the production of
Kemmler before him at Canandaigua on
the third Tuesday in June. It is stated
that the writ was granted on the ground
that the manner of the execution is in vio
lation of the constitution of the United
States. This stops all preparations for
the execution for the present.
RED RIVER FLOOD.
New Orleans, April 29.—A Times-
Democrat Paris, Texas, special says: Re
ports from Red river are to the effect
that it is higher than it has
been for forty years. There was thirty-
four feet of water at Arthur City yester
day morning. Several houses are reported
to have been swept away, and the occu
pants of others had to move out in boats.
The loss cannot he estimated now, but it
will be very great.
C AT HO L1C MISSIO X AK1ES.
Rome, April 29.—As the result of the
general summons for negotiations with the
Vatican, it has been arranged that Malta
shall be a center whence to dispatch Cath
olic missionaries to places in the East and
in Africa, hitherto in the hands of foreign
missionaries.
DETROIT CARPENTERS.
THEY ARE CONTEMPLATING A GKNEAL
STIKE ON THURSDAY.
Detroit, April 29.—Unless there is an
unexpected change during the next forty-
eight hours, a general strike of the carpen-
tenters and joiners of Detroit will occur
next Thursday morning. Seven hundred
tradesmen attended a meeting of the Car
penters Union, No. 10, last night, and a
committee was appointed to wait on the
carpenters and builders association at 3
o'clock. The committee from the carpen
ters union met with representatives of the
carpenters and builders associations. The
carpenters informed the bosses that the
unions comprising the district council
were unanimous in the demands for an
eight hour day, at 30 cents an hour, and
recognition of the unions, and that noth
ing short of the terms proposed would be
accepted. The proposition was discussed
quietly, and in good temper for more than
an hour. The result was a proposition
made by the association to the Carpenters’
Union, which embodied the following: To
make eight hours a day’s work commenc
ing July 1, 1899. paying the same rate per
hour as at present, providing that all the
carpenters in the city, and those competing
with us for special house furnishing, will
also make eight hours a day's work; other
wise we shall insist on nine hours- When
the committee returned to the carpenters’
meeting the proposition was promptly re
jected. Another meeting will be held to
night, but it is not thought a strike can
be averted.
A STEAMBOAT BURNED.
THE II. B. PLANT DESTROYED
EBAL LIVES LOST.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 29.—The
steamer il. B. Riant, of the St. John’s
river line, was totally destroyed by fire
early this morning at Beresford landing,
108 miles south of Jacksonville. Several
lives were lost. Full particulars are not
vet at hand.
A BRAZILIAN GOVERNOR REMOVED. j
Rio Janeiro, April 29.—The Govern- i
ment has granted the petition of the j

BOND OFFERINGS.
Washington, April 29.—The. bond :
offerings today aggregated $942,490; all j

| Washington, April 29.—[Special.] —
j Hon. F. G. duBignon, in a conversation
j today, predicted the election of Northen
' for Governor. He thinks Crisp, Blount,
Stewart, Turner and Clements will be
j returned to Congress without opposition,
i unless the Alliance organization concludes
j to put candidates in the field in all of the
districts. He believes that Calley is
slightly the favorite in the Eighth district,
though the issue between him and Lawson
is uncertain. In the Ninth, the situation
is so uncertain that no guess can be made
i as to the results.
Mr. DuBignon predicts that the lease of
the State road under the act will fail.
MUCHLER CALLED.
William Muchler, of the Eighteenth
Pennsylvania district will be Reed's
choice for the place on the appropriation
committee, vice Randall. Muchler came
first to the Forty-fourth Congress, and is
one of the best Democrats in the House.
E. P. S.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, April 29.—Mr. Pierce,
of Tennessee, rising to a question of per-
| sonal privilege, denied a statement made a
i few days ago by Mr. Evans, of Tennessee,
j to the effect that there had been ballot
j box stuffing in his district.
The Speaker ruled that this did not pre-
j sent a master of personal privilege,
j Mr. Pierce responded sharply that he
thought it did.
The Speaker said that the gentleman
had no right to make such a response to
the chair.
Mr. Mills, of Texas—“Why did not the
Speaker stop the gentleman from Tennes
see (Mr. Evans) the other day?”
The Speaker—“The Speaker was not
present when that occurred.”
Mr. Mills—“Then you ought not to stop
the gentleman from Tennessee now.”
The Speaker—“That does not follow.”
Mr. Mills—“It does follow.”
The Speaker—“The chair does not de
sire to enter into any personal controversy
with the gentleman, and he thinks that if
the gentleman will reflect he will not per
sist in the impropriety.”
Mr. Mills—“I do not see the impro
priety, when one gentleman charges
another with fraud.”
The Speaker—“The gentleman from
Texas will please be in order.”
Mr. Mills—“I am in order, and the
Speaker is more out of order than the
gentleman from Texas. The ruling is
simply an outrage.”
The matter was then dropped.
The postoffice appropriation bill was re
ported and placed on the calendar.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on the bill providing for the
classification of worsted cloths as woolens.
Pending debate the committee rose, and
agieed to the Senate concurrent resolution
requesting the President to return the
Oklahoma bill for the purpose of having
an error rectified.
The consideration of the worsted bill
was resumbed in committee. The. debate
was from the beginning a tariff debate,
and the House was divided on party lines.
Dingley said that the object of the bill
was to make clear a question which had
arisen in regard to the classification of
worsted goods under the existing tariff,
and to correct all doubt and misapprehen
sion, and that it was an exact copy of the
bill introduced at the last Congress by
Breckinridge, of Arkansas, which the gen
tlemen on the other side liad incorporated
in their tariff bill.
The bill was opposed by Carlisle, Mills,
McMillin, Breckinridge, Cummings,
Springer and others. The committee rose
and Dingley moved that further debate on
the bill be limiied to forty minutes.
McMillin thought this to be too short a
limit and the consequence was that there
were three roll calls before the motion was
agreed to. Another roil call was necessary
to resolve the House back into committee.
The debate upon the bill again proceeded,
the speakers being Springer, and Wilson,
of West Virginia, and Breckenridge, Mc-
Kinkly and Cummings.
Breckenridge offered an amendment
providing for free raw wool, and a duty of
thirty-five per cent ad volorem on worsted
and woolen cloths, after the first of Octo
ber, 1899. The chairman ruled the
amendment out on the point of order that
the bill referred to classification and not
to rates of duty.
Breckenridge appealed from the decis
ion, stating that the bill, though nominal
ly it referred to classification, was really
intended to increase the dut yon worsted
cloth. The decision was sustained, yeas
74, naysoi).
Breckinridge offered an amendment
classifying woolen cloths as worsted
cloths. Lost.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. On the passage of
the bill no quorum voted, and there being
no quorum present, Dingley, in view-of
the faet that a Republican caucus was
called for this evening at 7:30 o’clock,
moved an adjournment, which was carried.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, April 29.—After the
transaction of some routine morning bus
iness of little public importance, theeon-
sideration of the land forfeiture bill was
resumed.
The debate on Call's* amendment was
continued by Plumb, Berry, Mitchell, and
Call. During the debate Platt interrupted
and offered a concurrent resolution which
was agreed to, requesting the President to
return the Oklahoma bill. He ex
plained, that, owing to an error of
his own, the word “west” had
been used in place of the word
“east” in the description of the bounda
ries. Finally Dolphjgmove l to lay the
aim ndment on the table. There was net
a quorum voting, yeas 27. nays 14. hut as
a caii of the Senate, showed the presence
of fifty-two members, the vote was about
to be taken again, when Sherman rose a d
gave notice that whenever there was a
quorum present and the vote did not dis
close that faet, he should insist upon the
sensible rule that the Senators present and
not voting, should be counted. Several
Senators complained that they had not
been able to hear Sherman’s remarks.
Shermen—“I will repeat it. I say that
hereafter, when there is a quorum present,
and more than a quorum present, but
when, on account of pairs and of the ab
sence of some Senators a quorum do**3 not
appear as voting, I will insist on the
chairman deciding the question and
naming Senators present who are entitled
to vote and have not voted.”
Cockrell—“Disregarding pairs?”
Sherman—“No, not disregarding the
pairs.”
Cockrell—“Then, how can they make a
quorum if they cannot vote?”
Blackburn—“Is it the purpose of the
Senator from Ohio either to disregard the
pairs of Senators, or to disregard the rule
of the Senate, and authorize its presiding
officer to do that which the Speaker of the
House has been recently engaged in
doing?”
Sherman—“I would not break a pair.
But there are one or two Senators present,
whom I will not name, for whom pairs
were not announced, and who did not vote
on the last vote. I think it the duty of
every person who is not paired to vote,
and that is the position that I have always
occupied. I never have been present (un
paired) without feeling it my duty to
vote.”
Blackburn—“I agree to that.”
Sherman—“Today there were one or
two Senators present who probably did
not care to vote, and who did not vote. In
such a case as that I think that the fact
of their being present constituted a quorum
which may be properly announced by the
chair, and I believe even the rule adopted
by the House of Representatives is in ex
act accordance w ith our own rule, and
with the constitution.”
Blackburn—“Will the Seuator answer
me one other question?”
Sherman—“ Y es.”
Blackburn—“Does he, in the face of the
rules under which this body has acted,
hold that it is within the power of the pre
siding officer to recognize as present any
Senator who, under his obligation as he
construes it, thinks that he has no right to
vote?”
Plumb—“I rise to a question of order.
The pending motion is to lay the amend
ment on the table, and debate is not in
order.”
Blackburn—“I am not debating. I am
only asking a question.”
Cullom—“There was but one vote lack
ing of a quorum, and that vote is present
now.”
The Vice-President directed the clerk to
call the roll.
Blackburn—“I ask unanimous consent
to have time given to the Senator from
Ohio to answer the question which I have
propounded to him.”
Sherman—“I would rather not answer
it now. There is a non-debatable ques
tion pending—the motion to lay on the
table,.’
The vote was again taken, and Call's
amendment was laid on the table by a
strict party vote—yeas 30, nays 18.
Pasco offered an amendment giving to
actual settlers on railroad lands, where a
road was not built within the time limited
in the grants, the right to perfect their
entries under the homestead and pre
emption acts. This amendment was laid
on the table by a like vote—30 to 18.
Another amendment was offered by Call,
and was similarly disposed of.
Moody offered an amendment, which
was agreed to, declaring that the act shall
not be construed to confer any right on
any State, corporation or person, to lands
that were excepted in grants. The bill
was then passed without division.
The McKinley customs administrative
bill was then taken up, read, and the
amendments recommended by the com
mittee were agreed to. Other amendments
were submitted by Evarts, Dawes and
West, and went over without action.
The Senate then adjourned.
NEWS FROM BUENA VISTA.
Buena Vista, Ga., April 29.—[Spe
cial.]—Judge Smith is making good
progress toward clearing the docket of civil
business, and it is thought that the crimi
nal docket will be taken up Thursday or
Friday. The most important case on the
docket is that of the State vs. L. W. Wall,
charged with selling whisky without
license. The State claims ttiat Mr. Wall
did not have a sufficient number of free
holders on iiis petition to authorize the
issuance of license by the Ordinary. The
ca e will be vigorously prosecuted and ably
defended, as both sides have secured strong
counsel.
Tax Receiver Wells calls my attention
to two very important- items that have
been omitted from the blanks sent out by
the State upon which returns of the acre
age and product of the farm, orchard,
manufactures, mines, etc., are made. One
of these is turpentine and the other lum
ber. There are some large turpentine stills
in Marion, and if these two items are
omitted from returns ail over the State it
will considerably lessen the splendid show
ing that Georgia will make this year.
Col. L. F. Livingston, president of the
State Alliance, is booked to deliver a pub
lic address at Buena Vista Friday.

Chicago, April 29.—The News says

Council last night: “Mr. Goldie knew
within half an hour after we had adjourn
ed, a week ago last Friday, not only every
thing that hail been done in our meeting,
but everything that was said. The associ
ation has been getting reports of our most
secret proceedings. The council member
who made the charge of treachery in yes
terday's meeting, in presenting his evi
dence, said that the employes themselves
would verify his statements. Can you not
see that this very man, who has betrayed,
enabled the Carpenters and Builders As
sociation to hold out so long? We have
absolutely stopped work on these contracts
for three weeks, have tied them up hand
and foot, and yet you know, as well as I
do, that they have all along seemed
confident of success. Why? They have
only to ask this one traitor why. The
same man who has been carrying news
from our meetings, a man who would sell
liis mother if he were not afraid of the
law, went to William Goldie on Friday,
the 18th day of April, told him that the
strike would probably be settled by Mon
day, and applied for work. It is not
known whether the council branded any
one member of the strike committee as
the traitor, but it is known that the whole
committee was relieved, and a new one
appointed whose members are bejond sus
picion.
This is a very important question, and
the ruling of the commission in regard
thereto will be looked for with interest.
Commissioner Trammell said this morn
ing that the commission would have some
of its work in shape for the public in a
few days.
ON THE WAY HOME.
Governor Gordon and Treasurer Harde
man, who have been absent in New York
for several days, are expected home to
morrow.
THE GOVERNMENT WINS.
Judge Newman, of the United States
District Court, decided the celebrated case
of W. F. Bowe against the United States.
The case was decided in favor of the Gov
ernment, and the plaintiff was required to
pay the costs. Mr. Bowe is a contractor.
He built a number of houses
at the United States barracks near /Atlanta.
He sets forth that Capt. Jacobs, who was
in charge of the barracks, damaged him in
the sum of $10,000 by forcing him to tear
down work that had been completed, and
compelling him to do other work not down
in the specifications.
This is the first case against the United
States ever tried in Georgia. It was
brought under an act of Congress approved
March 3, 1887, which provides that all
claims against the United States not under
$1,000 nor over $10,000 may be brought to
trial in the United States Circuit Court
before the Judge, without a jury. The
case has been on trial about two months
at irregular intervals, and Judge Newman
was about two months making his de
cision.
Eight or ten other suits of a similar na
ture, involving $10,000 each, would have
been brought against the Government if
that of Mr. Bowe had been successful.
THE EAST POINT RIOT.
The East Point whipping cases were
taken up again today in the criminal su
perior court. The indictment against
Dan Hall for whipping Arnold Jones, was
first tried. The old negro man, when
placed on the stand, testified that he
recognized Dan Ilaii’s voice as that of the
man who whipped him. He said that
when he was called from his house he
thought that he was going to be killed,
and when he found that they were only
going to whip him he felt happy, and
every lick they hit him the happier he felt.
Several witnesses were put on the stand
by the State to testify as to Hall’s wherea
bouts and acts on the night in question,
but they were all very mum. Mr. Glen
Waters, a reporter of the Constitution,
against whom no indictment was found,
but who was at East Point on the night of
Lhe whipping, created something of a sen
sation by refusing to answer some of the
Solicitor’s pointed questions, on the ground
that his answers would tend to criminate
himself. The case will probably be con
cluded tomorrow.
NOT GUILTY.
The jury was only out fifteen minutes,
and returned a verdict of not guilty. The
other cases connected with the East Point
riot will be transferred to the City Court.
NO WATER WORKS BONDS.
The city attorney decided today that the
bonds for the water works cannot be le
gally issued, in as much as they did not
receive two-thirds of the registered vote.
HEAVY DAMAGES CLAIMED.
A suit has been filed in the City Court
by Mrs. Maria Jone3 for $20,000 against
the East Tennessee road for the death of
her son, Willie Clark, whom she claims
was her oniy support.
A LAUNDRY SUED.
Mrs. Hannah Lawrence has also brought
suit for $20,000 against the Atlanta steam
laundry. She claims to have permanetly
injured one of her hands by operating a
piece of defective machinery in the steam
laundry. Her husband, George H. Law
rence, also sues for $5000 for the injury
sustained by his wife.
THE TROUBLE IS OVER.
Dispatches from Abbeville, Georgia,
where a negro insurrection was threatened
on Saturday, state that no further trouble
is anticipated.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.
New Orleans, April 29.—[Special.]—
While spots are steady and unchanged at
Liverpool, futures closed easy, 3-64 to
l-16d lower, under the weight of long
contracts being unloaded because of a de
cline of Id in silver. The same influences
induced a very weak market here this fore
noon, and at one time summer months
were freely offered 1(5 to 18 points under
yesterday’s figures, commission houses
being the principal sellers, presumably for
country account. The decline being out
of ail proportion to other markets, brought
out buyers this afternoon, and prices
quickly recovered 6 to 8 point.-, closing
steady. • The position is practically un
changed locally, and the controlling inter
ests continue intact.
