An Investigation of the Whole Subject by the Present General Assembly Urged-The Senate Passes the House Bill to Prevent Grave Robbing-More New Bills Piled Up. Atlanta, Ga., July 18.—In the Senate this morning the betterments question came up again in the following resolution, intro duced by Mr. Janies: Whereas, The lease nil the Western and At lantic railroad will terminate on Dee. 29. IS'JO; U Whereas, It is plain and manifest that the lessees claim large sums of money of the State for betterments in the way of rolling stock, lay ing additional track ami other improvements placed on said road: and Whereas, Tht* **xi£t‘iK’i*s of the ease doniaiKi that the present (ieneral Assembly take some divided action in regard thereto, and in order that the legislature may act intelligently in re lation to this important matter: lie it therefore Resolved, l>y the (senate and the House con curring, that a joint Committee tie appointed, consist mg of five from tin* Si'mite nnd eight from the House, which said committee shall proceed at once to investigate ail such matters and things in connection with tin* leasing, operating, management and cent ml under the lease con tract.nnd ail Other matters nnd thingsconmvteil therewith, so as to clearly and intelligently un derstand the rights of the State and the lessees in relation to tile same, and report back to the Senate and House at as early a day ns practi cable. 1. Who compose the present lease company and the amount of stock owned by each lessee*.' il. The character and value of the rolling stock and other equipments received by the lessees irom the State, the condition of the road and all properly connected therewith, at the commencement of tlie lease. 3. The character and value of the rolling stock and other improvements placed ou the road by the lessees, and the character and value of all other improvements placed on said road by said lessees and claimed by them as better ments. 4. And whether or not the State is liable under the ienst> contract t" pay said lessees for any such betterments, and wliether or not the lessees are authorized under said lease contract to re move any of the rolling stock or other lietter nients from its road. Resolved further. That for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of these resolutions said committee lie authorized and empowered to send for persons anti papers, and to subptena witnesses. PROTECTING CEMETERIES. The House bill for the protection of ceme teries and the encouragement of medical science by authorizing the distribution and Use of unclaimed dead liodies for scientific purposes, passed. The bill to exempt the members of the Atlanta Artillery from jury duty, was re committed. Mr. Northcutt of the Thirty-fifth district, introduced a bill to amend the charter of the Marietta and North Georgia railroad, au thorizing extension to Knoxville, Tenn., and to run into Atlanta over the Western and Atlantic n lad from Marietta, if an arrange ment can be made with the lessees. The resolution of Mr. Jackson, of the Thirty-seventh district, providing for the sale of the old penitentiary and other lots in Milledgeville, the proceeds to bo applied to repairing the old capital, was passed by a substitute providing for a joint committee to examine the proiierty and the propriety of its sale for the purposes indicated. The regular hours of the session wore fixed at!) to l o'clock. In the House. In the House to day the fight of last Fri day over the Marietta and North Georgia railroad was renewed, on the motion of Mr. Howell, of Fulton, to reconsider the action refusing to recommit. The friends of the bill, which proposes to let this road in to Atlanta from Marietta, make this fight as a last hope. Messrs. Howell and Weil, of Fulton, made almost a lone struggle for it. Mr. Weil said the purjHiso was to run the road from Knoxville to Atlanta. He answered the objection that, the road was “the child of the legislature” and said that the State had extended its aid to half a dozen other railroads. The duty of the Legislature was not simply to guard the interest of the State road to Uavo a corner in a railroad, but to guard the interests of the whole people of the State. The Marietta and North Georgia railroad did not ask further aid of the State. It had ample capital. He named the East Tennessee road, to which the State had granted a charter, and said that it ihd not kill the State roan. The credit of the State was based on the honesty of its people and not on the State road. If there are objectionable features in the bill strike them out, but don’t kill the baby in its swaddling clothes. FAIB PLAY ASKED. Give us tho same rights you give other I'oails. He lm<l voted for the Augusta and Chattanooga railroad, which might take business from the State road, berauso he thought it was right and due to to the peo ple who asked it. A railroad from Atlanta to Knoxville would boa railroad indeed, not a little ono-horse concern such as hail boon aided by the State in other instances. lie insisted that the State' would make by this road more in taxes than the State road would lose by it. All tliat he asked was fair treatment and consideration for tho bill—a hearing in court for it—and that he intended to have. He commented on tho thin committee meeting which ordered an advance ro|x>rt on the bill. If, after a fair hearing, the charter ought not to bo granted, don’t grant it. Mr. Arnheim contended that “this rail road had lmd its day in court.” He re counted the history of the bill in its several stages in the House tuid in the Railroad Committee and its sub-committee, the vari ous amendments that had been proposed. He insisted that the Legislature should act in regard to this matter as a man would with his own property. A LUSTY tIAHY. Referring to the comparison of the road to a babe lie said it would be a baby lusty enough to digest the whole State of Georgia. It would have the Western and Atlantic, the East Tennessee and the Georgia Pacific at its merry. He asked, can wo Ih>w in bumble deference to the gentlemen of the Atlanta Chamlier of Commerce, and complained of their activity in support of the bill. He made a vigorous and telling speech, accompmiioi 1 with mim icry and pantomime, la opposition to the motion to reconsider, Mr. Howell said the question is not one that affects alone the in terests of the city of Atlanta, it affects the interest of the whole State. He plead for careful consideration of the ques tion and an opjiortunity to hear from the people before the slaughtering ef the hill. He said the i>< licy of the State was Opposition to monopolies. The representa tives here were no more trustees for tho State road than for any other road in the State. Nearly all tho mem bers present would vote a charter for a railroad eomi>eting with nnv other road in the State, and all tliut he asked was tho same treatment for this read. If time were all wed to hoar from the people of the State he would bring in such an endorse- Ulfnt of this road as was never before given to any road in Georgia. A DUTY. It was the duty of the legislature, licfore passing finally tinon this measure, to give its advocates ana the iicople an opportunity to lie heard from. He criticised Mr. Aru heim’s assertion tliat tho representatives of the road were heard from in the committee. He said that c. meeting of the business men of Atlanta hiu' been called to-<Lay to con sider tho question, and he was willing that tliut meeting should s|ieak for Atlanta. He wanted time to give not only the Kail road Company but tho people time to tie hearu from. Had the legislature forty yars ago established the jKiliry of monop oly now insisted on, instead of the prosper ous and progressive condition or North Georgia to-day. the same conditions which then existed would have continued to exist. The same argument was made against the Richmond ami Danville charter and the Hast Tennessee charter as was made agninst 1 ‘-dU Ui ’ this road, but instead of w-recking the State road its business and value had greatly in creased. He only asked the recommitment of the bill to the Railroad Committee, when the committee and the House would havo the same control over it that they have now. Mr. Chappell, chairman of the Commit tee on Railroads, replied to the statements that the bill had not had a fair chance in the committee. He said t ley were not true. He insisted that a fair and full hearing had been given to the friends of the bill. MR, ATKINSON’S DEPOSITION. Mr. Atkinson, of Coweta, said that the recommendation that the bill do not pass had come from tho Railroad Committee, after it had been given full and lnir hearing by the committee. Why, then, this motion to recommit? Bo not deceived by the plea that it is to allow tho people along the liao to !*• heard from. They had had ample opportunity. An ad verse report on the bill was an advantage which its opponents had and ought to keep. He said that he would raise his voice against a bill to charter anew road from Newman to Atlanta liecauseit would encroach upon tho chartered rights of the present road, and on the same principle he opposed this com petitor of the State road. He declared that the people of Georgia would never consent to the consummation of this measure, and he could not believe that this Legislature would ever permit it. The motion to recon sider was tabled. Mr. Franklin, of Thomas, offered a reso lution for the appointment of a joint com mittee to confer with the State road lessi-es in regard to their claim. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Finance. NEW BILLS. New bills were introduced as follows: By Mr. Terrell —To incorporate the town of Woodbury in Meriwether county. By Mr. Howell, of Fulton—To extend tho corporate limits of Atlanta so as to include Piedmont Park for polio- purposes; also a bill to incorporate the Georgia Terminal Railroad Company. By Mr. Felton, of Macon —To provide for the appointment of a solicitor for the County Court of Macon. By Mr. Lamar, of Richmond—To amend section !l of the general tax act of 1877-8. By Mr. Watts, of Stewart—To amend section 4625 of the Code. By Mr. Morgan, of Pulaski —To define the posting of land. By Mr. Feathorston, of Floyd—To amend the act incorporating tho Rome and Car rollton Railroad Company, to change its name bi the Chattanooga and Columbus railroad. Tho Sub-Committee on Education, to whom was reported that portion of tho Gov ernor’s message relating to the co-education of the races at Atlanta University, consid ered that matter this afternoon. They will probably report favorably on Mr. Glenn’s bill making white and negro scholars dis tinctly separate. Crawford, the negro member from Mc- Intosh, is it member of this committee, and seemed rather to agree with the other mem bers of the committee, but thought Presi dent Bumstend, of the Atlanta University, ought to is; given a hearing. The result will probably be that Prof. Bumstead will go before the committee Wednesday. MATT RYAN DEAD. He Was Onco Chief of the Atlaifta Fire Department. Atlanta, Ga., July 18.— Matt Ryan, ex- Chief of the Atlanta Fire Department, died suddenly hero this morning of congestion. Mr. Ryan came to Atlanta twenty years ago from Ireland and began clerking for his uncle, John Ryau, the dry goods man. Six months ago lie went into the dry goods business at Bir mingham, where his health failed. Three weeks ago he returned to Atlanta. He was about 40 years old, and leaves one child, a little girl. The Chamber of Commerce appointed a committee to-day to memorialize the Ixigisla ture to |iss the bill to extend the Marietta and North Georgia railroad to Atlanta. PEABODY INSTITUTE. The Peabody Institute for 1887 opened here to-day and will be in session two weeks. The attendance is fair. Gov. Gordon wel comed the visitors in a brief speech. Tho lecturing will begin to-morrow. The col ored and whito teachers will occupy sepa rate halls. Clark llowoll, brother of Col. E. P. Howell, denounced Charles A. Collier in a severe personal manner in the Constitution building to-day. Mr. Howell branded Mr. Collier because he says the latter promised to vote for Park Woodward for City Clerk at the late election, and. afterward east his ballot for J. H. Goldsmith, who was elected. Mr. Collier did not resent the insult. Park Woodward is a brother-in-law of Mr. How ell. Mr. Collier is on Alderman, and is also President of tho Piedmont Fair Asso ciation. WOMEN AND THE MISSIONS. Meeting of the Savannah District at Sylvania. Sylvania, Ga., July 18.—The Woman’s Missionary Society for the dis trict met in the Methodist church in this place on Saturday. Mrs. L. R. Carswell, of Waynesboro, presided over tho meeting. Tho welcome address was delivered by Mrs. W. L. Mathews, Jr., and answered by Miss Hattie Gresham, of Waynesboro. After a short address from the presiding officer, the reports from tho various societies in the district were read. After tlie.se were concluded Mrs. Carswell and Mrs. J. P. Wardlaw, of Savannah, gave some earnest, interesting and spicy talks to the delegates and audience. Altogether, the meeting was a pleasant and entertaining one, and the large congregation was sorry when it closed. The conference will meet next year at New Houston Street church, In Savannah. Reunion Eighth Georgia Regiment. Rome, (4a., July 111.—At a meeting of eoinpanvs "A” "E” and “II” of Eighth Georgia Regiment the following, offered by Col. John R. Towers, was adopted: Owing to the excitement incident upon tho prohibition campaign and the extreme hot weather, it lias fieen deemed expedient to defer the meeting of the survivors of the Eighth Georgia Regiment until Tuesday, Aug. 26, at which time a cordial invitation is hereby extended to all the members of the command to meet with us on that day.

Habdeevills, S. C., July 18. —Sunday, as train No. 85 from Charleston to Savannah was about three or four miles north of Ridgoland, a negro named Gillen, from Sa vannah, hod some words with another negro who was sitting by a colored woman in the coach. Gillen pulled out his pistol and fired once at the man and then ran to the door and jumped from the train. The shooting created great excitement; one lady fainted. By this time tho conductor arrived and quieted the passengers. To-day Gillen was seen near ltidgeland and constable I hand ing went with a warrant for his ar rest. Finding his man on tho public road, between ltidgeland and Green viile. about 12 o’clock he attempted to ar rest him, when Gillen resisted and drew a pistol on Blanding, but the constable being too quick for him got the first shot and hit him m tho left side just below the ribs. Gillen lived about one hour. The shooting was done in the presence of Trial Justice Burnett and a negro named Green. The Coroner was notified at once and an inquest is being held. FARMING IN LEON. Fruit Growing and Stock Raising Prov ing Very Profitable. Tallahassee, Fla., July I®-—Fruit growing and stock raising are proving very profitable employments in this fertile sec tion of Florida. Every week shipments of fine stock are made to points in East and South Florida. There is also an increasing demand for the excellent quality of butter produced in this county from rich Jersey milk. Farmers are greatly encouraged by the fine appearance of the growing crops. Cot ton is growing rapidly and fruiting heavily. The corn crop is excellent.

Associate Justice Van Valkenburg of the State Supreme Court, lias been prevented by ill health from attending th® court during the past few weeks, but Judges Max well and Raney are proceeding with tho work of the term. A FAITHLESS WIFE’S SUICIDE. The Wife of a Doctor Finds Tell-Tale Letters Among His Effects. Jasper, Fla., July 18.—Mrs. Edward Johnson, a married woman at this place, has tieen for some time too intimate with Dr. J. H. White. The doctor’s wife a few days ago found some of tho letters written by Mrs. Johnson to the doctor and sent them to Mr. Johnson, the woman’s husband, upon learning which Mrs. Johnson committed suicide yesterday by taking mor phine.

The Old Story of an Attempt to Hurry Up the Fire. Pittsburg, July 18. —Mrs. James Smith, of Four-Mile Run, was fatally burned, and her husband and sister-in-law, Amie Smith, quite seriously injured last evening by the explosion of a can of kerosene. Mrs. Smith attempted to start a fire in a stove with the oil and the flames communicating to the can caused mi explosion. Tho burning liquid was scattered over the two women, setting fire to their clothing. Mr. Smith came to their rescue, hut before the flames were extinguished his wife was burned so badly that she will die, and Miss Amio had sustained painful injuries. Mr. Smith had both arms and his face badly scorched in his efforts to save the women. This makes the sixth oil can fatality in this vicinity in forty-eight hours. NOT FLEECED BY RUNGE.

Richelieu and Arthur have, for some time, tieen boarding at a down town board ing house, lm t recently Ins-oming dissatisfied with the rigidity of its dining-room econo my, they decided to change their hidings. Wishing, however, to advoid any unpleas ant feelings on the part of their landlady, Richelieu said to her: “Well, Mrs. Slopslinger, I suppose I shall bo coui|>elled to leave you. My roommate desires a locution nearer to his business, and of course I shall waiit to ls> with him. Wo regret to leave you, as our relations have always tieen of the most pleasant charac ter."' Mistress H , with great affability, as sured him of her good will, and wished him all comfort in his new quarters. This evening, while packing up, Arthur remarked: “Old hoy, I thought it wasn’t just the tiling for us to slip off without say ing anything to our landlady, so 1 ran down just now and told her you wanted to get further up town, and that, of course, l should want to go with you—” “The devil you did! 1 said tho same thing of you this morning!” Tah'oft" ■ A MOTHER’S CRIME. Tho Strange Way in Which a Tramp Saved a Baby’s Life. From the Manchester Times. Many cases are known in which a third party has been mysteriously influenced to do something—often against both reason and interest—which has resulted in the de tection of crime. A young unmarried woman, living in a good situation with an Oxfordshire farmer, had with her her child, a boy of A years old. This incumbrance standing in the way of her ! icing married, she made up her mind to rid herself of it. Obtaining a holiday she left the farm with her l>oy, giving out that she was about, to visit a relative some mil's off. Next day she returned, and stated that she had left the child to be brought up by her cousin. Tho statement was naturally be lieved. On the following afternoon two men were at work harvesting in a Held on the next farm to where the mother was employed. One of them was a laborer, or tramp, and inquired of his companion the best way to get to the place where lie had taken lodgings. The best way was told him, and he was further instructed that when he reached a small coppice he was not to go through, hut round it, otherwise he might fall down an unprotected old dry well. All the remainder of that day the thought of this well worried the tramp; ho felt ah intense and unaccountable desire to see it; and so earnestly solicited the man working with him to ac company him to see it tliut the other agreed to (lo so. When they arrived at the cop pice and found the well both were afraid to stand on the edge and look down, and lay down to do so. Presently one threw down a stone, when, instead of hearing the sound of its fall, they heard a cry. Another stone was dropped with the same result. Certain that something alive was at the bot tom they promptly went to the. nearest farm house and returned with more men, a lantern, and ropes. A plucky lad volunteered to go down, and was lowered, the rope around his waist, the lantern tied to his wrist. He found at the bottom, 1:.’0 feet from tho sur face, lying between four pointed perpendic ular stakes —on either of which a man might have been impaled a living, bleeding, and sobbing baby boy, which when brought to the surface, was at once recognized as the child of the girl at the adjacent farm. The mother after conviction, when she was asked how,she got the child down tho well without killing it instantly, replied thatsho had not the heart to throw the boy down, she pro cured a long cord, doubled it under the child’s body, and when it reached the bottom let go of one end and drew the cord up by the other. The amount of heart possessed by a mother who could leave her offspring to slowly perish of starvation in preference to slaying it outright must be very small both in quantity and quality. The poor innocent was thirty-six hours without food and in pitchy darkness, and was so cruelly cut, scratched and bruised that he still bore the marks weeks afterwards, when at the trial he was stripped and placed on the table to show them. And hail his inhuman mother any heart in her composition she must have felt cut to the very core then, when the poor little fellow put out liis arms and cried to go to her. The death sentence was re corded against her, hut commuted to penal servitude for life. THE DAYS OF OLD. Tales of Georgians Who Went to the Golden Gate. Prom the Augusta (da.) Chronicle. The gold fever in California struck Geor gia in 1849, and a large number left Athens and the counties adjacent. Meeting with Capt. Beusse, we asked him about the men, who went to the gold region and what they were doing. “The first party that left Georgia was in 1849, and consisted of Waters, Holder, Hitch (a brother of Capt. J. E. Hitch), George Pringle and Silas Reynolds. The most of this party are dead. Silas Reynolds made California his home for quite a number of years, and returned to Georgia and is now living near Fairbura. These men gave such a glowing account of the richness of the mines in California, that in 1858 a large party left here on Fob. fi. It was a fearful time getting to California. It took us seven months and ten days to make the trip. The fever broke out on the ship, and a large number died and were buried in the briny deep. The following who left Georgia are still alive and living in Califor nia, most of whom made big fortunes: Wil liam England, Dan England, McCullough, William Bruckner, Mose Bruckner, J. E. Royal, William Ritcfc and Mr. Jenson, who owns a large chicken farm in California. Mr. William Ritch is practicing law and doing a fine business. They all married in California, and some of them have returned to Georgia to see their friends and relatives. The following returned to Georgia and are scattered all through the State. Some are do ing well, but most of them have long since lost the gold that they brought from the mines, while a very few have died since their return: L. P, Thomas and son, Mr. Ixindon Lemons, Dick Saulter, Wiley Hood, Foil England, Joe King, H. Beusse, Stonell, O. S. Ktnnehrew, nnd Maj. W. S. Grady, the father of Mr. Henry W. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution. Those who went to California for the puriiose of making nnd saving money did well, but others who were profligate and wouldn’t work did not bring back much of the glittering dust with them —just enough to pay their ex penses. We had a rough time after we got to California, and underwent privations and hardships that were equal to any that the Confederate soldiers went through during the war. California is one of the healthiest States in the Union, and all who went there and remained two or three years seemed to take anew lease on life. Those who live near Athens are still hale nnd hearty, and hid fair to live a number of years." A BLOODLESS MAN. A Soldier Has Daggers nnd Knives Run Through Him Without Injury. A dispatch from Berlin to the Philadel phia News says: Physicians and scientists are at a loss to account for a strange fn at: of nature which lives but a few miles from hero. Tho man, whose name is Otto Schrei ber, apparently has no blood. This fact was discovered less than a month ago, when Schreiber, who is a soldier corporal, had a duel with a fellow soldier. His opponent ran him through with a sword, hut no blood flowed, and he did not appear to lie harmed in the least. The man was so astonished that Otto had no difficulty in killing him. Since that time he has let liis comrades amuse themselves by sticking knives and daggers through liis body with no injury whatever, not even a drop of blood flowing. He visited a medical college in Berlin, and in the presence of the whole college, had a sharp knife run through his month, coming out at the hack of his head. No mark whatever was left. He was then exami nisi by a committee of distinguished surgeons, who confessed themselves totally until >le to explain the miracle.
