2 LEGISLATORS FELL LAZY. SOTH BRANCHES OF THE ASSEM BLY TAKE IT EASY. Mr. Lampkin Advocates an Extension of the Aid to Maimed Confederates Not Now in Georgia A Resolution to Look Into the Affairs of the Western and Atlantic In Tennessee. Atlanta, Ga., July do. —The Senate Hardly lad a session this morning. Mr. Lumpkin irtrodueed a bill to extend the provisions of the maimed Confederate sol dier act to maimed soldiers who enlisted from this State, but are not now residents. After reading a few bills the first time the Senate adjourned. In the House. In tbe House tlie sticcial order was the resolution of Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, for a special committee to investigate the Agri cultural Commissioner. After some discus sion the matter was referred to the Commit tee on Agriculture. Mr. ( lay of Cobb in some remarks oppos ing the special committee, referred to form er investigations ol’ this department as only whitewashing affairs. Mr. AVatts of Stewart offered a resolution for the appointment of a joint committee of Bve from the House, and three from tho Senate to investigate and report to theGen aral Assembly what amount of taxes have been paid by the lessees of the Western and Atlantic Railroad to the State of Tennessee and the city of Chatta nooga; the nature and character of the property of the State road in Tennessee; what amount of the property has been sub let by the iessess of the road; what tene ments have Ins'll erected by them in the State of Tennessee, and their nature: and the present condition of the road anil its 'oiling stock. SOMETHING AROYT THE PROPERTY. Mr. Watts said that he had made some personal inquiry concerning the pro|ierty of the road in Tennessee and lie believed the facts to be that the State of Georgia had purchased valuable property in ('hattnnooga before the lease and had before that time ased only a portion of it for a depot nd car shed. After the lease a large number of tenements, abont ninety, be nehevod, two stories in height, had been erected and let by the lessees of the road. Important and valuable concessions bad lso tieen made to other roads by which they were allowed for a consideration to run their tracks upon this property. He believed that nil the rail roads entering Chattanooga were run upon this right of way. His information was that, the taxation mentioned in the letter of President Brown was laid upon this prop ?rty, so much upon the franchise and so much upon the tenements. The facts ought to be made known to the Legislature. The resolution was referred to the Finance Com mittee. During the reading of bills the second time the Marietta and North Georgia rail road bill, which was adversely reported, come up again. An effort was made to have a day set apart for its consideration, but the liiii was finally tabled. The unfinished business was the bill to prescribe the manner of filing defenses to distress warrants, which was killed after discussion in which eight or ten lawyers Tarticipated. BOSTON’S BUDGET. Great Preparations Being Made to Handle the Coming Cotton Crop. Boston, Ga., July 25. — Verily this town fs on a “boom” and does not intern la to bo covered by the dust of ng“s. Great prepar ation is being made for handling tho cotton crop, which is estimated to lie the heaviest ever known in this section. Boston has already a splendid cotton warehouse built of iron and also a steam cotton gin and planing mills. A large brick cotton warehouse wifi be finished in time to handle a share of this season’s crop. Another stem ill grist mill and gin will Ih> srected at an early ilao. The city fathers have about decided to buy a hand tire engine and organize a fire ,'ompuny. This will greatly reduce insur- Uieo. One of Boston’s most dignified dry goods clerks, who sleeps in a two-story building, w as rudely awakened a few uighls ago about 11 oclock, by the noise of the cannon ball train. As he was dreaming of storms when the train rushed by he jumped from his bed and yelled cyclone and went down tho •taircase four steps at n time, lie had no time to dress. His room mate says he was the worst scared man he over saw. The “boys” have named him “Cannon Ball.” The City Council has notified the Savan nah, Florida and Western Railway Com pany that they must desist from running their trains through here at a higher rate of tpoed than five miles per hour.

Durable as clover is for mellowing and deepening the soil, says the New York Her nia. it is essential tliut it lie grown on dry land. Where stagnant water remains clover roots will not penetrate the subsoil, and it is almost a pity, for there is scarcely any Bit ter vegetable pump tlmn a field of growing slovcr, with several tons of leave*and stems constantly exhaling moisture. If driver can get a start on wet land, its network of roots soon dry out the surface and penetrate the subsoil, where they form natural water courses, needing only to connect with some rain to make the subsoil a Dvr. vs dry. REMARKABLE STORY. I Persecuting John Rohn for a Murder Never Committed. From the Kansan City Times The Prosecuting Attorney of Tania county, la., boarded an early morning train yesterday for Toledo, followed by Johan Holm, both on their way to clear up a mys terious case of supposed murder. There was not, perhaps, a citizen in Tnina county, la., who, up till yesterday, did not believe that Johan Hohn lmd been foully mui dered. The grand jury of that county had twice convened to consider the ease, and the suspicion of guilt was turned strongly against John Rohn, a well-to-do funner and boarding-house keeper. Twice had a mob, led by hot headed citizens, attempted to take Rohn out of his house and hang him to the near est tree. Each time he concealed himself and finally disappeared in as equally mys terious manner as John Hohn. A heavy re ward was offered, and the county went to a heavy expense to track tho supposed fugi tive murderer. All this time Johan Holm was serving ns a waiter in the restaurant at No. 571 Wal nut street in this city. He had applied for work almost two months ago, and about two weeks after his disappearance from Toledo. During that, time the grand jury had investigated the ease, a warrant had been issued, and Kohn’s preliminary exam ination on the charge of murder had been hold. Robn was release*!, because no evidence could tie brought against him, A number of citizens m the German settlement of the town were sus pected, and the town was up in arms over the fearful murder which they suppled had ban committed. A vigilance committee was formed and one of Rohn’s neighbors was strung up to a tree three times and left almost dead. He was asked to reveal the place where Holm’s Ik sly had liven concealed, and declaring eaeli time that he knew noth ing of it, was repiatodly hung by the neck until he was black in the face. After the preliminary examination was over and .Bonn was released, public anger rose to fever heat. A mob visited his house twice with the intention of lynching him. The first time he made his way out of a back door aud c uiccaled himself in the woo s The second time lie crowded himself under a bar rel in the cellar, and during the search one of the mob leaned his arm upon it without disiovering hint. Finally matters grew too warm for Rohn. and ho left the country. This fastened suspicion upon him stronger than ever, and a heavy reward was offered for him by the people at, a mass-meeting. About two weeks before this occurred Johan Hohn, in speaking to a crowd of loaf ers, said: “I will tell you fellows one thing, and that is this woman you were talking* about is not exactly the best, in town.” One of them asked which woman he meant, but he would not say. The crowd, however, had been speaking of two or three women, including Rolin’s w ife. Someone then went to Rohn and told him that Hohn had made some remarks about his wife. Hohn was boarding at Rohn’s place at the time. He was probably told by Hohn that ho intended to kill him should he bear any more rumors regarding any alleged miscon duct of his wife. In the aoi-ounts told by the local news papers at the time when it was supposed the murder had taken place it was said that Hohn was paid to superintend Rohn’s farm and the care of his horses and cuttlo. It was charged that Rohn became intensely jeal ous of Hohn, and thought he was alienating the affections of his wife. The remarks Rohn wns charged with making wore cited in favor of this theory. It was shown that Rohn entered Holm’s bedroom at 10 o’clock at night.. He then ordered him to get up and feed some salt to the cattle and horses. In mates of adjoining rooms heard Rohn do this, and heard Hohn tell him that it was a strange hour of the night to get him out to salt cattle. They heard Rohn say: “Well, you forgot it to-day, and will have to do it now. ” Rohn then arose and left the house and was not seen again. All the facts in the case were against Rohn. and it appeared that he had committed a very foul and deliberate murder and had concealed his victim. Rohn protested that he was innocent in vain,unu on account of the anger of the ]>•*>’ pie left town. Instead of doing so to avoid the law, a* everybody supposed, he carried a roll of $5OO in his pocket and liegan a search after the matt With whose' murder he was accused. Rohn was a German, could talk only broken English, and made a very poc >r detective. He traveled all over lowti, and in the face of the heavy reward offered for him he managed to keep from being arrested. About three or four days ago ho returned home quietly. He entered tne house in the dead i>f night and visited his wife’s room. She showed him a letter addressed to him which she received the night before. This lettc vread: “Mm Rohn: Please send my clothes, trunk and everything to 571 Walnut street, Kansas City, where I tun now staying. “Johan Hohn." Mrs. Rohn told her husband that the let ter had been shown to the prosecuting at torney of the county. Rohn, however, did not wait till morning. He hurried out of the house and took a freight train that was just moving out of the town. Yesterday morning aliout 10 o’clock Rohn entered police headquarters. He told Chiet of Police Squeers about the trouble he hail undergone, and said he had spent a great deal of money attempting to trace Holm up and prove liis innocence. Ho said that his search had been vain and his visit to Kansas City fruitless, for just before lie ar rived the restaurant at 571 Walnut street •had tieen closet! on an attachment. He said the Prosecuting Attorney had looked on tho latter from Hohn as a hoax, and he feared that be should always be supposed guilty of Holm's murder. Rohn saitl, however, that he intended to search the town over for the missing man. He then started out to do so, nr.d Detective Groelv accompanied him on the search. The detective learned that, the Prosecuting Attorney had been in town on the same er rand, and that he lmd left the night preced ing with Hohn for Tama county. De tective Greely says that probably there never was n more delighted man than Rohn when he learned that Hohn had Vieen found. He admitted that he luid used threats townrd Hohn, and that this, perhapn, had frightened him into supposing that probably ho intended to kill him. This, ho thought, was perhaps the reason why Holm left so suddenly. Rohn is a German with u long beard and only one arm. He talks broken English, and his swarthy face was bright with smiles last, evening as he boarded the return train for Toledo, lowa. THE TEN-HOUR LAW. Cotton Mill Presidents to Speak Be fore tho Committee. From the Aujutta (Go ) Chronicle of Monday. The antagonism of our mill interest to Hon. Chas. Z.

Tho mill employes now average about eleven hours and twenty minutes a day, atid should the bill pass, contracts will be necessary to permit the running for that numlier of hours.

I Denver Dispatch to St. Joseph'(Mo.) tJazette . A typical border desperado is flourishing at. Deer Trail, fifty-five miles east of here, on the Kansas and Pacific Railroad. Deputy sheriffs from Denver have gone out to cap ture him, and came back with blanched faces and trembling hearts. The cattlemen of tin* neighborhood, who suffer daily by his depredations, are seriously think ing of taking the law into their own hands. anil they are loud in denunciation of the Arapahoe county au thorities, who, they say, are afraid to tackle the man. The fellow is an escaped convict named Newt Vorce. He lias been in Colo rado for ten or twelve years, but nobody knows where he camo from. For the last four or five years lie has worked for the cat tlemen around Deer Trail. His last em ployers were the Mill Iron Cattle Company of this place, who have a large horse ranch some distance from Deer Trail. Newt, who is about 35 years of ago, and rather a good-looking man, had no particularly bad habits when he first appeared in the country. He would got drunk once in nwlile, and had a playful way of shooting at his fellow men’s feet when he wanted to make them dance. Many a cowboy has executed a Highland hornpipe to tne music of Newt’s revolver. Otherwise he was a nice, pleas ant sort of a companion, good-hearted, agreeable and hard-working. He got along very well until a grass widow, who owns a house and some horses and sheep within 1(H) yards of the Doer Trail Station, won his af fections. Then he drank all the more and turned his revolvers loose more freely when he felt himself yearning for a cowhide toot ballet. The woman helped to keep him drunk. He would ride to her twenty-five miles at night anil get back to liis range by daylight next morning. He became a nui sance, and twice the Mill Iron Cattle Com pany discharged him. Last fall he nearly killed an old cattleman named Gallagher, smashing him over the head with a bottle in George Hixlgo’s saloon. The blow felled Gallagher, when Vorce began jumping upon him, and afterward shooting promiscuously around the saloon. The crowd, of course, broke for the door and got outside. One of the boys, braver than the rest, poked his rifle through the door, pushed it open and, covering Vorce, made him throw up his hands. They de termined to arrest him. Ho surrendered, but on leaving tho saloon ran among a lot of railroad men and began firing. His pursuers followed and again cap tured him. He was brought to Denver and tried for an aggravated assault, nnd convicted and sentenced to nine months in the county jail. He served several months, when he made his escape and re tumed to Deer Trail, where he has been ever since. He has seven stolen horses staked out, and almost daily breaks open stable locks and kicks in cabin doors and does some stealing. He hides in the ravines around Deer Trail during the day. the grass widow and her little girl carrying him his meals. At night he usually sloops in the widow’s house. He has been at large for six weeks, and continues to grow bolder tho longer his capture is delayed. He has a brace of revolvers and a Winchester, and has given out time nnd again that he will never be taken alive. The woman watches every train that stops at Deer Trail, and if a stranger guts off she jumps on a horse, rides to the town, anil ascertains if lie is an officer of the law, or if lie is after Newt. A few weeks ago Capt. Burrows and another Sheriff deputy went to Deer Trail and surprised Newt in the widow’s house. They covered him with revolvers, but instead of throw ing up his hands as they ordered, he ojxsned fire on them and got away. They came to Denver empty-handed, and no further attempt has been made to capture him. The cowboys sometimes ride over a hill to be alarmed by a threatening Winchester and the cry “Hands up,” but Newt lowers his weapon when sees who they are and they pass along and leave him in his sheltering ravine. Dave J. Cook,the Rooky Mountain detective asks SSOO to effect his capture, and says he will not go after him unless he has a warrant, as he ex[iects to have to kill him. The saloon in which Newt assaulted Gal lagher was recently acquired by George Hodge, an ex-State Representative, under a mortgage foreclosure. Twelve men have been kilted in it, and there isn’t part of the wall to which a finger may be pointed that does not possess a bullet-hole. Mur derer Wilson, who shot a Sheriff at Trinidad, and was afterward shot and killeil by detectives in a neighbor ing county, was in the habit of snuffing out the lights with his revolver anil making the habitues of the place “hide out”—that is, getting ouf of range of the bullets which he sprinkled through the room in tho dark ness. Popping out tho lights and making the customers hide out is a favorite amuse ment of the bad men who ilrink at Hodgo’s bar, and the record of their pastimes is pre sented in the abundance of bullet holes in the walls and ceiling. NO PARTNERS FOR ROYALTY. How the Duchess of Connaught Util ized an Opportunity. From the London Meir-nrg. Talking of the Duchess of Connaught, they say that a short time before leaving India her royal highness was present at a dance where dancing men wereprovokingly scarce. There were plenty of ladies waiting to dance, but very few men. The Duchess looked upon the lamentable state of things with very apparent dissatisfaction, as well ns sympathy for those without partners. If everybody was to join in tho fun, her royal highness saw there was only one way to accomplish it, so sho rose from her seat and set an example to the other ladies present. Making straight for Mrs. Lyttelton, she dropped a pretty little curtsey, and requested the pleasure of the flext vaise. Mrs. Lyttelton, of course, promptly accepted, and the next minute the Duchess nnd she wore whirling round the ball room quite happily. Noeoless to say other pnrtnerless ladies followed the royal example, anil soon everybody was dancing. I never cun understand how peo ple can dance in India, and am very much m synmathy with that Eastern potentate who, on his first introduction to an English ball rixmi, expressed the most unqualified amazement at the insular eccentricity of people who would undergo such fatigue when they could pay others to do it for them. Uertos, in the tropical heat of Lon don last week, any exertion was a trouble. The combined effects of hard London water and blazing sunshine nearly [leeled every bit of skin off my unhappy face, until relief came, in the shape of a lotion prescribed for mo by Dr. Anna Kingston!. I am quite certain that my readers ivilj give me credit for a desire to do them a kindness in men tioning this exquisite emulsine, compounded chiefly of the juice of ouounito'rs, ami made up by Mr. Philip Mason, of Bank Plain, Norwich. A Rare Thermometer. From the Sparta (Go.i lehmaelite. During the prevalence of the late torrid weather the toiiqs’rnture, as indicated by thermometers, has been a common subject of conversation. Even the blacks have found interest in therinometrical (malversa tions. The following dialogue in txunt Le twis'ii two leiimle.i of that persuasion was overheard on Monday: “Say, ain’t it hot?’’ “Well, fora fact, it is powerful hot.” “How docs it stand by your mometer f “I ain’t seed my mometer to-day; but ves tidday it went lower an Iso over knowed it before.” A “mometer" indicating a low tempera ture on lust Sunday would have brought more than its weight in nickles in this mar ket on the day following.

All tlie Chinamen in the city are in a state of excitement over a robtory of Lee See of $505. AVoo Jam was arrested on suspicion of being the principal and Charlie Lou Chang as accessory for receiving tho stolen gixxls. It appears from what can to' gleaned that lasi Sec, who boards at the laundry on Mclntosh street, had received $505 from various quarters SSO in silver of Woo Jang —all of which Woo Jang knew was in Ixxi See's trunk. His key was taken from his pocket, and tho tray of his trunk that had the money in it taken out, and the key put back in his pocket. When yesterday morn ing he woke and found all his treasures gone ho was sorely grieved. The movements of Loo Chang were such ns to arouse suspicion, he going all day be tween Tom Loo Chang and Charlie Lou (’hang. A search warrant was issued anil • )fiii'er Radford repaired to Charlie Lou Chang’s, where an nimising scene occurred. Alter the officer had made the search ami found $271, and told Charlie he must go to jail, his mulatto wife pleaded not to take Charlie to Jail. but the “hard-hearted officer” insisted that liis duty had to to* done, nnd with the Chinaman and his wife Elln, starts and to share his fate. Charlie and tlie officer both wanted to go to Tom Lou Chang's, Charlie to give his key and the officer to serve a warrant on Toni. The officer was followed by Attorney M. P. Foster, a. Chronicle re porter and one nr two others. On reaching Broad and Marbury streets tho party went up a dark flight of steps to the noted opium and gambling den that the Chronicle so fully wrote up about a year ago. The gambling table and checks and opium beds were all in con fusion—checks strewn over the tables and the cards under the table, and on the long wooden toils the pipes and other utensils of the opium smokers lay. In one room was found several white women, and with a Chinaman sat a mulatto woman indulging in the intoxicating opium pipe. Whilst there a number of young white men, frequenters of thp opium den, .dropped in. This place is leailing quite a number of young men into this intoxicating debauchery. The house was searched, hut the Chinamen had been on the alert and one was seen to jump the fence and it is supposed got away with the balance of the boodle. Only a small amount of the money was found in the search at Tom Loo Chong’s. Charlie Loo Chong claims the $271 to be the receipts of his two stores for Saturday. Officer Williams came in on the scent, and catching a sight of the gambling utensils, tables and other ap paratus made a report against Tom Lou Chang for keeping a gambling house. The opium and gambling den is run all the week. On Sunday nights nearly all the Chinamen gather there to gamble. The opium dens in other large cities are prohibited by special law, and unless our council passes the ordi nance to break them up many of our young men will be ruined by this infatuating vice. A KING’S HORROR OF SMOKE. Means Adopted by a Private Secre tary to Kill the Tobacco Smell. From the Gentlemen's Magazine. King Ernest, of Hanover, uncle of Queen Victoria, who ascended the Hanoverian throne ou the same day as his niece became Queen of England, could not endure to hayco, and his dislike of it was such that liis private secretary, Gen. A T on During, who was a slave to the habit, as most military men in Germany are, was put to most severe and laughable straits to indulge it and yet not to offend the King. Half-past nine was the General’s hour of morning attendance. Five minutes before that time four servants stood in the passage leading to the ante-room. One held an old horse-soldier’s cloak with a slit behind; one held a red-hot shovel with a long handle like a warming-pan; one held a decanter of water and a glass and a bottle containing a colored liquid, and one was there to hold tho papers and to take the pipe, which the (General smoked down tho passage to the very last moment. No. 1 covered the old Secretary’s shoulders with the threadbare and stained old cloak, which had gone through the Peninusular war and which was now buckled tight around the neck. No. 2 poured some incense into the hot shovel and in serted it between the General’s legs through the slit behind. The process continued for a minute or two and the old man was nearly stifled, but only impregnated. Then No. 3, from decanter in hand, [toured out a glass of water, of which the General took a hearty gulp, rinsed Ins mouth out and spat it out on the carpeted floor; then he threw off his cloak, seized his pa]>ers and letters from No. 4 and rushed steaming into the King’s presence as the various clocks struck tho half-liour. A DOG’S DEVOTION. Watching for Hours Beside a Play mate That Dropped Dead. From the Philadelphia Press. A touching incident of animal affection was witnessed by a large crowd on Walnut street, below Seventh, yesterday morning. Two dogs, one a half-brini setter, and the other a half-bred pointer, were playing to gether iu Washington Square, when the setter become exhausted from tho heat and crawled to the gutter to slake its thirst. The pointer quit its pranks and followed, seemingly knowing that something was wrong with its playmate. AVhile the latter lay in the gutter lapping the muddy fluid it was seized with convulsions, and rolled over dead. The other dog squatted beside the dead animal and affectionately lapped it about the head. For two hours the pointer kept faithful vigil over its former companion, nnd would permit no one to ap proach it. Numerous efforts were made to call away the dog. but it was difficult to Induce it to move more than a few feet, and then it would bound back as soon as an attempt was made to reach tho carcass. Finally the heat became so intense that the watch r was rimqiellod to leave. It cast a last sad look on the body nnd then reluctantly trotted off, unknown, but admired. The carcass lay in the street beneath the broiling sun all day. Col. Pat Donan In Danger. From the Chico ao Mornimj Newt. A sad creature is the Dakota schoolmarm, and she holds Col. Pat Donan responsible for her melancholic condition. Aliout three years ago Donan wrote a seriesof newspaper articles setting forth in flamboyant rhetoric the alleged lieauties of life in Dakota, and he represented each of that vast majority of Imchelors its standing around the railway stations of Dakota waiting for a \yiman to come along that would have him for a hus band. There was the chance for every limn ingeble female, and it wasn’t long be fore the railway trains were loaded down with spinsters from every port of the coiui try, and nil hound for Dakota, where hnshands were said to be thicker than huckleberries in n ten nere lot. But when the spinsters got to Dakota they found everything they expected to find except the hustmiKls. There were plenty of men, to 1* sure, but they were not hungering for matrimonial sweets. Miss IlaiTiet Boswell tolls us that she has been in Dakota two years and hasn’t been approached with ant proposal of marriage.
