cial order for tomorrow morning, after the

PROPOSITION IN THE SENATE TO
SALARY LEGISLATORS.
PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF THE LUNA
TIC ASYLUM—A NEW JUDICIAL
CIRCUIT— BUSINESS IN
THE HOUSE.
Atlanta, November 24.—[Special.]—
When the roll was called this morning for
the introduction of new bills, only three
Senators responded. Only one of the three
bills was of a general nature. That was
by Senator Smith, of the Twenty-eighth.
It proposes to amend article 3. section 9,
paragraph 1 of the constitution, allowing
members of the General Assembly $4 a
day. It proposes instead to allow a salary
or $300; only the Speaker of the House
and the President of the Senate being paid
per diem.
Something in the nature of a sensation
was sprung this morning by Senator Cul
ver, in a resolution about the Luuatic Asy
lum. It simply authorizes the chairman
of the joint committee on luuatic asylum
(Senator Nunnally) to employ an expert to
examine the books of the asylum for the
past twelve months, or longer, if neces
sary.
The investigation is to begin during the
visit of the committee to Milledgeville—
just after the 27th, that is, when the Legis
lature goes there to witness the laying of
the cornerstone of the Girls' Normal aud
Industrial College.
“The resolution,” said Senator Culver,
■‘carefully avoids charging mal-adminis
tration, even by inference. But there are
such charges made. The books are loosely
kept; and this immense appropriation of
over $200,000 is expended without any ac
count rendered to the State. It is time
sucli an investigation was had. That is
too large a sum to be taken from the treas
ury ami expended in the dark, even by an
honest man. The management of the
asylum should be put upon a safer busi
ness basis.”
The resolution was passed.
Another important action was that con
cerning the formation of a new judicial
circuit, made up of the counties of Polk,
Paulding and Haralson, to be known as
the Tallapoosa circuit. It had already
been passed by the House, and it was
passed today by the Senate. Two candi
dates for the judgeship are on hand
already—Charles G. Janes, at present
Solicitor of the Rome circuit, and General
Pope Hill, of Paulding. The only candi
date for Solicitor, it seems, is Armistead
Richardson, of Polk.
In executive session the following ap
pointments were confirmed:
W. W. Turner, Judge County Court of
Troup county.
L. W. Thomas, Solicitor City Court of
Atlanta.
John D. Mell, Solicitor City Court of
Athens.
A. H. MacDonnell, Judge City Court of
Savannah.
The “betterments claim” of the West
ern and Atlantic lessees came up this
morning in a message from Gov. Northen,
calling "attention to this letter of Senator
Jos. E. Brown:
“His Excellency, Hon. W. J. Northern:
Dear Sir: On the 27th day of December
next the present lease of the State road,
entered into between the State of Georgia
and the Western and Atlantic Railroad
Company, will expire. The claim of the
lessees for improvements upon the prop
erty and taxes paid in Tennessee, aggre
gating (according to tiie report of the
Commission to the General Assembly of
1SSS) about $550,000, remains unadjusted.
The lessees believe tiie claim in its en
tirety to be just. If it should not all be, a
portion of it at least seems to be conceded.
There is, therefore, in my judgment some
action by the General Assembly advisable
in order to prepare the way for an amica
ble settlement.
The lessees desire in every way possible
to avoid any complications which might
grow out of a failure to reach a fair settle
ment. May we not, therefore, respectfully
ask that you invite the attention of tiie
General Assembly to the question. I ain,
very respectfully, Jos. E. Brown,
President.
The message was referred to the Senate
committee on railroads.
IN THE HOUSE.
A bill was passed increasing the number
of trustees of the Technological school
from five to seven, requiring that three of
that number shall reside in Atlanta. This
is done to insure the attendance of a quo
rum always at the meetings.
A bill was introduced by Mr. Goodwin,
of Fulton,“for the protection of discharged
employes, and to prevent blacklisting."
The bill makes what is ordinarily known
as “blacklisting" a misdemeanor.
Mr. Martin, of Fulton, introduced a bill
“to regulate the number of brakeman on
railroad freight trains in this State,” for
the protection of the lives of railroad em
ployes, requiring three brakemen where
there are not in the train three power
brakes in operation.
Another important bill is a general tem
perance measure, by Martin, of Fulton.
It provides for a dispensary (“for the sale
of alcoholic liquors for medicinal, scien
tific and mechanical purposes”) in dry
counties that want it. In cities of over
1,500 inhabitants, this is left to the city
government: in counties where there are
no cities so large it is left to the grand
jury.
The dispensary contemplated is like that

GENERAL NOTES.
A member of tiie Legislature leaves in
the morning to get married. This is Dr.
S. W. Johnson, of Appling county. His
bride is Miss Mamie Anthony, of Mont
gomery county. The ceremony is to be
performed at Thursday tiie residence of
the bride's parents, at Spring Hill.
Tiie death of Bishop Beckwith has cast
a gloom over tiie city, and carried sorrow
into hundreds of homes all over the State.
He will probably be buried in Atlanta
oil Wednesday, though tiie funeral ar
rangements have not been completed yet.
It will be one of the saddest, one of the
most imposing funeral services ever held
in Atlanta.
A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.
Right Rev. John Watrous] Beckwith,
I). I)., was born at Raleigh, N. C., Febru
ary !>, 1831. His father was Dr. John
Beckwith, a prominent physician, and his
mother, Margaret Stanly, daughter of
John Wright Stanly, an eminent citizen
of that State, and her brother was one of
the Governors. When the subject of this
sketch was twelve years old the family
moved to Petersburg, Va., where he re
ceived his early education. From there
lie went to Trinity College, at Hartford,
Conn., and after graduating from the
divinity school the young minister went to
Wadesboro, N. C., his first parish. Later
he went to Ann Arundel county, Mary
land, where he had a paiisli. There he
married Miss Ella Brockenborough, daugh
ter of John Fauntleroy Brockenborough.
When war was declared the young minis
ter entered the service as chaplain, first on
the staff of General Hardee, and after
wards on the staff of General Polk, bishop
of Louisiana. In tiie spring of 18(55 lie
was made rector of Trinity church, New
Orleans. After three years there, lie was
called to tiie bishopric of tiie diocese of
Georgia. He was consecrated April 2,
18(58, the ceremony being performed in
St. John's church, Savannah, by Bishops
Green, of Mississippi, Atkinson, of North
Carolina, Wilmer, of Alabama, Wilmer, of
Louisianna, and Young, of Florida.
He succeeded Bishop Stephen Elliott,
the first bishop of tiie diocese of Georgia.
Bishop Beckwith, this same year, received
degree of Doctor of Divinity from the
University of Georgia. At tiie time of his
election as bishop he had a call to Grace
Church, New York, the salary of which,
with the perquisites of the office, was
$14,000 per anuum. Under an overruling
sense of duty, this flattering offer was de
clined.
After his consecration as bishop he re
sided in Macon, but, after two years, he
removed to Savannah, where he remained
four years. From thence he moved to
Marietta, where he resided until his death,
which occurred at sunrise Sunday morn
ing.
Three children survive the Bishop—a
son, Mr. J. F. Brock Beckwith, of Atlanta;
Miss Bessie Beckwith and Mrs. A. R. Law-
ton, Jr., of Savannah.
DEATH OF BANKER BELMONT,
A PROMINENT FIGURE IN THE FINANCIAL
WOULD.
New York, November 24.—August
Belmont died at 3 o'clock this morning.
The Belmont banking house closed today,
and on the glass door was a notice of the
bankers death. In the office itself,
nothing but business of the most pressing
character was attended to. It is learned
that Belmont’s death resulted from a se
vere cold he contracted at Lake norse
Shoe. If he had lived until the Sth of
next month, Belmont would have been
seventy-four years old.
At the time Belmont died there were
present at his bidside three sons, August,
Jr., Perry and Oliver, and Belmont’s phy
sician, Dr. Win. M. Polk, Belmont was
out and about Thursday last. That night he
was taken siek gradually, and grew worse
until he died. As yet no arrangements
have been made for tiie funeral.
TIIE RESTLESS REDSKINS.
LARGE BODIES MOVING ON THE ROSEBUD
AGENCY.
Washington, November 24.—Several
dispatches from Gen. Miles received at the
War Department this morning were
taken by Secretary Proctor to the White
House for the President's information.
The substance of them is mainly confirm
atory of the news already received from
the West. It appears that the affairs at
standing Rock agency show much im
provement. A considerable num
ber of Indians from Rosebud
agency are reported moving toward
Pine Ridge. Just what their purpose is,
is not known to army officers. They may
be going to participate in a ghost dance,
or they may be on a hostile movement,
not knowing that a strong military force
has been gathered at Pine Ridge. Gen.
Brooke, who is commander there, reports
that he is secured in his position and that
friendly Indians are coming to the agency
in increased mmibers.

SPECULATION AS TO
KOLB’S VOTE.
Montgomery. November 24.—[Special]
The Senatorial caucus was called to order
at 8 o’clock tonight. One hundred and
twenty-one members answered to their
names. Mr. Hundley offered a resolution
that tiie caucus vote viva voce for Senator,
but it was ruled out of order by tiie chair.
THE BALLOTS.
Tiie first ballot tonight which was tiie
twentieth, resulted: Pugh 44, Kolb 42,
Seay 27, Watts 11.
Twenty-first ballot—Pugh 48, Kolb 38,
eay 29, Watts 'J.
Twenty-second ballot—-Pugh 40, Kolb
40, Seay 27, Watt 8.
Twenty-third ballot—Pugh 53, Kolb :i!l,
Seay 25, Watts (5.
Twenty fourth ballot—Pugh 50, Kolb
30, Seay 2(5, Watt 5, Clements 2.
Mr. Adams made a motion lo adjourn,
which was lost by a vote of 51 to 50.
Twenty-fifth ballot—Pugh 54, Kolb 37,
Seay 25, Watts 7.
Mr. Pettus then moved to adjourn, and
tiie yeas and nays were called for, which
resulted in II yeas and 10 nays on the roll
call of tiie Senators and 03 yeas and 50
t.ays on the call of tiie House, and the
caucus was declared adjourned amidst the
greatest confusion and excitement.
ABOUT THE ADJOURNMENT.
Tiie motion to adjourn was made by a
Kolb man, seconded by a Seay man, which
is regarded as a straw showing which way
the wind blows. It is believed that the
vote on tiie adjournment—50 to (53—shows
tiie anti-Pugh strength, which is enough
to nominate if concentrated on one man.
SOME SPECULATIONS.
It is thought a combination will tonight
be formed between the Seay and Kolb
forces and that one or the other, most
likely the lattjr, will come down in favor
of the other. In that case, the final con
test will he close and the result doubtful.
Still, the Pugh forces are confident and
jubilant tonight. An open ballot will be
taken in tiie Legislature tomorrow at noon,
but it is not believed there will be
any material change in tiie
vote. from that taken in tli:
caucus. The outlook tonight is favorable
for a settlement of the vexed Senatorial
question tomorrow night. Kolb is the
doubtful quantity in the contest. If he
throws liis forces to Seay, Seay will be
nominated. If he comes down in favor of
Pugh, Pugh will go in like a cyclone.

ion in the Kemmler case. There was no
written opinion, and the court did not go
into a consideration of the points raised
by Jugiero's counsel, holding that, so far
as the Federal questions were concerned,
the case did not differ from that of Kemm

DEATH OF EX-CHAXCF.LLOI
COMB.
I.iPS-
THE SUPREME COURT SAYS THE CON
DEMNED MUST HANG.
Washington, November 24.—In the
Supreme Court of the United States today
Justice Gray announced the decision of
the court in the case of the Navassa rioters
who are under sentence of death at Balti
more for murder committed on tiie Island
of Navassa, in the Caribean sea
in 1S8!), where they were employed
by a Baltimore firm in making
guano beds. The case was brought to the
Supreme Court on an appeal, the question
raised involving jurisdiction of the United
States over the island. The court decides
that the United States has jurisdection
over the island, and affirms the decision of
the lower court. Under the decision, the
men under sentence will be executed unless
contrary executive action is taken. The
court sustains the grounds taken by coun
sel for the United States, that the act of
Congress, passed many years ago, provid
ing that guano islands taken possession
of by citizens of the United States, and |
worked by them, may be placed under
the jurisdiction of this country by a Presi
dential proclamation, that the law of tiie
United States respecting crimes committed
on the high seas are applicable to sucli
islands, and that offenders shall be tried at
the port to which they are first brought.
Three of the men are sentenced to hang.
Their counsel announces that an appeal
for executive clemency will now be made.
A LONG AND HONORED LIFE CLOSED.
BRIEF SKETCH OF THE DECEASED.
Athens, Ga., November 24.—[Special.]
—Rev. Dr. Andrew A. Lipscomb, ex-
Cliancellor of tiie University of Georgia,
and one of the most distinguished and hon
ored citizens of tiie State, died at his resi
dence on Milledge avenue, in this city, at
a late hour last night.
Dr. Lipscomb, who was about eighty
years of age, had been in feeble health for
some time, but his condition was not re
garded as dangerous until recently. lie
had suffered from a very severe cold, and.
on Friday night, muscles of his throat be
came paralyzed.
The venerable ex-Chaneellor had been
twice married. His first wife was Miss
Blanche Howard Richardson, a sister of
tiie late Hon. Beale II. Richardson, of
Baltimore city, Judge of the Appeal Tax
Court, by whom he had two children,
Frank A. Lipscomb, one of the most bril
liant young men in tiie State, who at the
time of his death, several years ago, held
the chair of professor of Belle Letters in
in the State University, and a daughter
named Ella, who is uow Mrs. Greece, re
siding in Middle Georga. About 1857 he
married Miss Susie Dowdell, of Auburn,
Ala., who died during tiie war, leaving
one soil, Andrew, who is now in business
in Opelika. Dr. Lipscomb was a
native of Alexandria, Va., but removed to
Montgomery early in life and for a num
ber of years was president of a flourishing
female seminary in that city. He subse
quently moved to Georgia and early in tiie
fifties was elected Chancellor in the Uni
versity of Georgia, which position lie held
until some years since, when lie tendered
his resignation. He was one of tiie most
cultured scholars and learned divines in
tiie South, and enjoyed a national reputa
tion. Hundreds of tiie most promi
nent and successful business and
prefessional men of this and ad
joining States, who were students
at tiie University during his Chancellor
ship will hear of his death with profound
regret, as he was universally lcved and
revered. A purer, nobler man, or more
earnest Christian gentleman never lived,
and in his death Georgia loses a distin
guished citizen, who, during his long years
of serviee in the education of her youth,
rendered her valuable aid. The city of
Athens is shrouded in gloom, and his
funeral will be attended by people from all
sections of the State.
FAILURE OF BROKER BRANDON,
THE scare subsiding.
Minneapolis, November 24.—A Jour
nal's Pierre, S. D., special says: This is
ration day at the Cheyenne agency, and
tiie Indians are congregating there in large
numbers. The scarce is subsiding. Indian
Agent Norville, just returned from the
Bad river country, says the Indians there
are abandoning their dances and promise
not to participate in them again.
JUGIERO'S CASE.
HIS RETIREMENT BEST FOR IRELAND.
London. November 24.—The Press As
sociation understands that Parnell will
abide by the decision of the Nationalist
meeting tomorrow in relation to his lead
ership of the Irish party. It also learns
that several of Parnell's followers have
intimated privately that the Irish cause
will best be served by his retirement.
ONE OF THE HEAVIEST DEALERS ON THE
HOARD.
New York, November 24.—The sus
pension of Edward Brandon was an
nounced on the Stock Exchange this
morning. He was one of the oldest and
most prominent members of the exchange,
having been admitted September 8, 1852,
and was considered one of the wealthiest
brokers on the board. It was said all
through the recent decline that he was a
bull and carried large lints of stocks,
but when prices touched bottom, after
losing an immense amount of money on
the bull side, turned bear and sold stocks
short and was caught in the rapid advance
that followed. He was for a number of
years located at No. 19 Broad street, but
now has his office at No. 2 Wall street.
Later in the day an assignment
was made to Robert I. Milier, with the
following preferences: Mrs. Mary E. Wil
liams and Mrs. Joseph W. Middleton, as
{ executrices of the estate of Giles Williams,
$113,955; Emanuel Dreyfus, $20,000: Ilar-
mou Hendricks, $25,000, and Jacob II.
Lazarus, $17,000.
sun’s cotton review.
New York. November 24.—Futures
opened at nine to ten points decline, clos
ing quiet and steady at a decline oQ four
points on November, and six to seven
points on other months, from Saturday's
closing prices. It is a short story with
cotton today. Liverpool declined, and our
bull party showed neither confidence nor
vigor. The loss of most of Saturday's ad
vance was the result, and that, too, very
early in the day. Later on, when it was
seen that the receipts at ports wculd
fall below the estimates, there
was an exhibition of strength
hut no considerable activity, tiie
large receipts at interior towns checking
any advancing tendency. Still, the belie!
was pretty general at the close that Liver
pool may do better tomorrow, and the
bears were not inclined to go home short.
Spot cotton was quiet.

Birmingham, Ala.. November “4
[Special.] At Falkville. Morgan county
last night. Dr. W. M. Turner, in a fit of
insanity, choked his wife to death. Five
years ago Turner lost his mind and wa
sent to the insane asylum. In eightee
months he recovered and was turned out.
Last night another tit seized him whil
nobody but himself, his wife and a voum
daughter were at home. Mrs. Turner
tried to quiet him and he killed her. His
little daughter gave the alarm, and th
neighbors came, bound him, and
guarded him all night and ’ today
he was sent to jail at Somerville.
Turner claims self defence. He is fiftv
years old. This was his third wife. He
uas several grown children. It is a prom
inent family. He was once a representa
tire from Morgan county in the State Leg
islature. Threats of lynching were freely
indulged in, but the fact Turner is crazy
saved his life. He is a physical ,r iant,
weighing 200 pounds or more.

CHICAGO MARKET.
REVIEW OF THE GRAIN AND PROVISION
MARKETS.
Chicago, November 24.—The financial
troubles of the Eastern cities were again
used to depress prices here, but were ef
fective in that direction for only a very
brief time. The recovery was sharp, and
tiie wheat market closed at an advance
upon Saturday’s closing figures of I je.
Corn gained lfc, and oats 5-Sc. The
wheat marked opened with buyers
at about Saturday's closing prices
and the first transactions took place at
from 100jf to 1 OIL; for May delivery, with
possibly a sale or t wo at 101. The Bran
don failure in New York, and some dis
turbing rumors, sent prices off consider
ably. Tiie recovery was not very rapid till
after May wheat, being sold as low as 99],
had worked back to 100|, but it displayed
an air of buyaney after that
point had been passed,which all the wheat
piled upon the market by the shorts was
powerless to resist. The shorts, later in
the session, gave up their attempts at
holding prices down and became the most
vigorous supporters of the market during
the last half of the session. A recovery
of 2) cents from the lowest price of tiie
day had been brought about in tln-
last half hour of the trading,
accompanied by considerable excitement
and enormous trading. These who had
sold early, came in on tiie advance. May
advanced to 102 5-8, and December sold
up to 95 5-8.
Corn—The opening price of May was
53}c, and after touching 53Jc decline,
went to 53fc in sympathy with the early
weakness in wheat. It recovered with
wheat later, and in tiie end outstripped the
other cerials in its advancing course. It
sold up to 554 to 5(5c.
Oats were fairly active, stronger, and
higher. Tiie opening was j to higher,
but receded to jc, advanced ]e, yielded go,
became firmer and closed at a gain over
Saturday's last sales of j to ;c.
Fork—The trading was fairly active and
the feeling was stronger. Prices ruled
about 5c higher at the opening, and a
further appreciation of 5c was gained.
Later, offerings were larger and prices re
ceded 10 to i24c. About the middle of
tiie session prices rallied 121 to 15c,but set
tled back again 2£ to 5c. Near tiie close
prices rallied to outside figures and closed
firm.
Lard—An active business was transacted
and the feeling was stronger, though prices
ruled somewhat irregular. Prices at the
opening were about 21 e higher, but a re
duction of 5 to 7c was submitted to. Later,
prices rallied 21 to 5c. and tiie market
closed quiet at medium figures.
Short ribs—A fairly active market was
reported and a comparatively steady feel
ing prevailed. Prices ruled about 21 to 5c
higher, and closed steady at outside
figures.
