SUCCrS TRIUMPH.
Doc Macune has turned up again in
Washington, but what has become of Lon
Livingston?
It is said of the late Mr. Sitting Bull,
that while he parted his hair in the
middle, he never turned his trousers up.
The heavy press of important telegraphic
and local news, and liberal advertising
favors, compels us to yield a great portion
of our editorial space this morning.
The small boys about Sparta have fallen
into the dangerous and unlawful habit of
carrying pistols. The Ishmaelite should
nip this thing in the bud.
The Lumpkin Independent adds Judge
R. F. Watts to the list of candidates to

Southwestern circuit.
To most persons who are privileged to
dwell in Christendom, the Sabbath comes
as a blessing, for one reason or another.
The majority, perhaps, are grateful for it
as a day of rest. To them it brings relief,
a breathing spell from toil, from business
cares and troubles, from the daily grind
that tries men’s souls, and shortens, and
oftentimes embitters life. But one man in
the country will welcome this good day
for a totally different reason. He rejoices,
not for the rest it brings him, but for the
food. It is now forty-five days since Signor
Giovanni since began, in New York, his
long fast to break Tanner’s record. The case
has attracted great interest, public opinion
differing vastly as to the probable result.
At eight o’clock and ten minutes this
evening he will have completed the long
fast and scored, what he will doubtless
consider a great triumph. When Succi
eat his last meal he weighed 148 pounds.
Since that time he has lost forty-one
pounds. It is difficult to imagine with
what anticipations he is viewing
the approach of his dinner
hour today. Now what sort of dinner
would a person prefer who has fasted
forty-five days, and is at liberty to call for
whatever he wants? Well, Succi was asked
that question yesterday, and he has ordered
the following: “First, sardine in butter;
zenrice bouillon, calf’s brain en croquette;
chicken livers maitre d’hotel; roast quail,
milk, cocoa, ices, fruit, annisette. Zen ze
cafe, ze champagne, and ze zeegars.” After
this banquet, the Signor will depart in a
Pullman car for Boston, where he will ap
pear for one week in a museum, at a com
pensation of $1500.
Senator Hawley is one of the Republican
Senators who are anxious for the passage
of the present Force bill. His attention
has been called to the following passage
in a speech delivered by him in Detroit in
1887:
“I believe in the doctrine that the peo
ple are capable of governing themselves.
And while I shall often find that within
the limits of what is called a sovereign
State, justice is not done, the law is not
enforced, the people are not educated as
they ought to be, improvements are not
made that ought to be made, and we are
impatiently called upon as a national Gov
ernment to take this work up for ourselves
and do it better than they can do it. I say
it is better in the long run, for the great
experiment of self-government that, while
the Nation as such shall discharge all its
great and momentous duties with absolute
fidelity, it shall permit the doctrine of
self-government to have its own course
and be glorified, as it ultimately will, be
yond the shadow of a doubt.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
HOUSES.
A Texas paper, the Houston Post, has
this item about a young lady from Atlanta
who will make her debut on the stage
away up in New England this week:
Miss Miriam Armstrong is the name of
the la:est aspirant for histrionic fame and
fortune. Nothing is said about her abili
ties, but her situation is peculiar for free
advertising grabbing. Her father is a
minister who was expelled from the church
and whom many persist in believing to be
no less a personage than John Wilkes
Boothe. She married a Congressman
named Glenn and parted from him during
the bridal tour. With such a foundation
the advertising sharp should quickly make
her more famous than Langtry, Potter or
any other of the dozen “stars” now
traveling on their notoriety and gall.
There is very little demand for thrones
on this continent. Dom Pedro’s old throne
was put up at auction in Rio de Janeira
the ether day, and only fetched $400.
There will be a famine among our ex
changes next week. The majority of
weeklies will have no issue in commemo
ration of Christmas.
A Chinaman named Way Lee, who has
just opened a restaurant in Jacksonville,
Fla.,, claims to be a relative of the present
Eniperor.of China.
Races.—There will be two horse races
at the Exposition Park on Christmas day
at 2 o’clock in the afterncon—one pacing
and one running race.
It will not be possible for the Legislature
to adjourn before Monday night at the
earliest, as the Governor must report the
Western and Atlantic commission to the
Senate for confirmation.
It was not in a Columbus church, but in
New Jersey, where a little girl misunder
stood the choir. She thought they sang,
“Lord, have mercy on us miserable
singers.”
The Mirror of Commerce is a new
monthly publication at Savannah, with
W. G. Cooper as editor and business man
ager. It is devoted to commercial and in
dustrial interests, and promises to be a
successful venture.
There are indications that the State and
the betterments lessees are gradually get

the lessees will not be near so hard to
satisfy as they were a year ago.
The Central Railroad directory have de
clared a dividend of 4 per cent, which will
be payable on and after the 23rd inst. just
in time for pleasant use for Christmas.
This divideud will putin circulation $300,-

be kept in Georgia.
General Alexander regards as a good
joke the report that he intended resigning
the presidency of the Central. He only
heard of the rumor upon his return to
Savannah from New York, and laughed at
it. The General has'nt resigned and has
no thought of so doing.
A Western editor who has been captured
by the Alliance, is responsible for the fol

How dear to our hearts is the old yellow
pumpkin, when orchards are barren of

have both been a failure, and berries so
rarely have greeted our eyes; how fondly
we turn to the fruit of the corn field, the
fruit that children regard with big eyes—
the old yellow pumpkin, the big-bellied
pumpkin, the F. M. B. A. pumpkin that
makes such good pies.
It is stated that Hon. Elliot F. Danforth’
Treasurer of New York State, is prospect

Hill’s Presidential boom, and systematic
efforts are being made to enlist the young
Democratic leaders of this section in Hill’s
support. Treasurer Danforth is following
a cold trail.
AN OPELIKA FIRE.
THE OPELIKA HOU8E NARROWLY ESCAPES
BEING DESTROYED.
Opelika, Ala.,December20.—[Special.]
A fire at the Opelika House, shortly after 8
o’clock tonight, created great excitement.
Fire caught in the rear of the building,and
threatened to lay the hotel in ashes. The
gallant fire department responded prompt
ly, and by the most heroic efforts soon
succeeded in getting it under control and
saved the main building. The damage is
not estimated, but cannot be very great.
Mr. Wood Emery distinguished himself
by fighting the fire on the top of the high
building.
Handsome Show Windows.—Yester
day afternoon the attention of a reporter
was attracted by the handsome show win
dows at the mammoth dry goods establish
ment of J. A. Kirven & Co. Various
kinds of goods, especially suited to the
holiday trade, are tasefully displayed in
the windows, and attract the attention
and admiration of passers by, while the
artistic arrangement of fruits is quite
tempting.
Chancellor & Pearce, the popular cloth
iers next door, have also arranged their
show windows very tastefully. The articles
displayed in the windows readily catch the
eye of those who are thinking of making a
Christmas present to a male relative or
friend.
Cantana and Christmas Tree.—
The sisters of St. Joseph Academy have
made extensive preparations for the Can
tana and Christmas tree to be gi^en at
Springer Opera House Tuesday evening. A
splendid and attractive program has been
arranged for the occasion, and the event
promises to be one of the most delightful
to occur during the holidays. The price
of tickets of admission will be only 25

RUSHING UP BUSINESS.
Atlanta, December 20.— [Special.]—
A number of Senate bills were passed in
the House this morning. Among them
was a House bill by Mr. Martin, of Fulton,
which provides for special bailiffs for solic
itors of Superior Courts, and this was
passed.
The Senate refused to accede to the ac
tion of the House in discarding the branch
colleges reinstated by the Senate.
When the message was so stated to the
House, Sears, of Webster, moved the ap
pointment of a committee of three to con
fer with a Senate committee.
Berner, of Monroe, urged th^House to
harmonize.
It was now a matter of compromise that
confronted them. They had stood out
long enough; now, let them wind up the
matter, agree with the Senate’s position,
and go home this evening.
Hill of Meriwether, hoped the House
would not iecede from its position. It
was, he said, absurd to expect the majority
to go over to the minority.
Reed and Humphries both spoke against
the House departing from its position. All
of these talks were tame repetitions of pre
vious talks.
Atkinson thought the opposition were
making a mountain of a mole hill, and
that if prejudice did not enter into the
matter it could be adjusted in five min
utes.
The ayes and nays were
called on the .question of ac
ceding to the Senate’s position, i. e.,
consenting to the rehabilitation of the
branch colleges, but the vote showed the
same opposition—nays 98, ayes 57. A
conference committee was called for by
Reed, of Putnam. The House committee
appointed to represent the House is Reed,
Sears, Bush, Wheeler and Kemp.
Atkinson, of Coweta, under a suspen
sion of the rules, presented the report of
the special committee of the House ap
pointed to consider the Western and
Atlantic matter. This embodied the con
sideration of the Zachry resolution from
the Senate and the report was a substitute
for the same. It provides for the appoint
ment of a commission of eight.
The State road lessees are to file with
the Governor their disposition to abide by
the rulings of the Commission. Members
of the Commission will be administered
oaths by a Judge of the Supreme Court.
Five members must agree on the decision,
and it must be approved by the Governor.
Should the Governor disagree with them
he will file the same in writing.
The Attorney-General of the State is to
have under care the interests of the Slate.
The compensation of the Commission will
be paid by the State.
Then debate ensued on the question as
to what amount should be paid the Com
mission, and authorizing the Governor to
designate the amount, but this amend
ment, offered by Gilbert, was voted down.
Hill, of Merriwether, offered a resolution
that the deliberations of the commission be
confined to the questions of taxes due the
lessees through amounts paid by them to
the State of Tennessee, and do not- take
any cognizance of the betterment claim.
In speaking on his resolution, he said that
if the present lessees are entitled to better
ments for excess rolling stock, let the les
sees take their rolling stock.
Humphries accorded with the senti
ments of Hill, of Meriwether.
Berner did not believe the lessees,
strictly speaking, were entitled to a dollar,
but he favored the commission having the
matter in hand.
Mr. Hill, of Meriwether, said if one fact
came out it was that the House leaned to
the denial of betterments. He did not
want a commission to adjust a matter on
which the House was not agn ed.
The ayes and nays were called on Hill’s
amendment. Lewis and Calvin explained
their negative votes on the ground that
the investigation by the commission should
not be restrictive. The amendment was
lost on a vote of 100 to 50.
Fleming offered an amendment that the
Governor might reject or disapprove with
part of the report.
Lewis called the previous question.
Berner hoped that it would be with
drawn, that full and free discussion should
be had of the matter.
Mr. Huff—The proposed commission is
the most arbitrary arbitration ever offered
to a set of men under the sun.
If Maj. Stahlman had not intimated that
such a commission would be acceptable,
he would not sign the commission. The
whole tiling is disposed of by Georgia, ap
pointed by tbe Governor, investing in the
Governor veto power. There isn’t a
shadow of arbitration about it. The other
side is not permitted a word in it. The
Governor, with the Attorney-General,
could dispose of this. The finance com
mittee proposes to leave the matter with
eight men; not questions of equity, but
questions of law alone.
No lawyer will deny that Georgia can
be f uod in the Federal Court of Tennessee.
Why expose the State to this, when our
own court will have the consideration of
this? It is an old story. There is no
emergency about it. There is no danger
in legislation which will withhold from
the Governor authority to settle this mat
ter. He had no fear Georgia’s interests
would suffer.
Atkinson, chairman of the committee,
urged there would be no shrinking of duty
by the Legislature. The commission is to
say who is right and who is wrong.
if they acted adversely on tbe report
they would force the matter into the
courts in Tennessee and if there the new
lease fell through have it revert to the
West Point Terminal road, which would
put Georgia in the grasp of this monopoly.
Fleming’s amendments, providing that
the Governor shall be empowered to ob
ject in part.
The substitute, as amended, was then
the question, and the report of the Wes
tern and Atlantic committee report was
concurred in by the House on a vote of 101
to 8, and was immediately transmitted to
the Senate.
A resolution of sympathy was presented
by Mr. Hartridge, expressing regrets at
the intelligence that Attorney-General
George N. Lestet was stricken with
paralysis.
The Senate sent back the House resolu
tion fixing a date for adjournment amend
ed by naming Tuesday, 23d, instead of to
night. The House would not accept the
amendment, and appointed a committee
composed of Sears, Gilbert, Fleming.
Trammell and Atkinson, to confer with
the Senate.
The bill of the House reducing the pay
of oil inspectors to $1500 per year was
agreed to.
Immediately after adjournment, the two
committees of conference were convened.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Senate this afternoon concurred in
tbe House substitute for the Zachry reso
lution, and both bodies agreed to adjourn
Monday at noon.
The conference committee compromised
on one year’s support for the branch
colleges, after which the institutions will
be abandoned. The House has adopted
the report. The Senate has not yet acted,
but will do so, thus removing the last ob
stacle to adjournment.
The Senate this afternoon adopted a res
olution calling on Georgia’s Congressmen
to support Paddock’s food bill instead of
the Conger lard bill.

At 5:30 o’clock this morning a negro man
employed as a grader was killed at Peyton,
on the Georgia Pacific road. Another ne
gro man was hurled from the track, badly
injured, while a third was knocked into
the air and will probably die. These men

was a hump-shouldered farmer, and was
arrested at Woodstock, on the State road.
He gives his name as M. B. Pilgrim.
He was brought to the city and taken
before Treasurer Murdock, who was up
and about to leave the city.
The farmer was risridly questioned and
made to pose and don different attires, but
Murdoek had to confess that he could not

him while he was sick.
