DEAN'S BILLETTHE DUST
THE SENATE VOTES TO INDEFI
NITELY POSTPONE IT.
Tho Brady Bill Sure to Meet a Similar
Fate—Numerous New Bills Intro
duced in Each House - Appointments
Confirmed In Executive Session-
Several Bills Passed.
Atlanta, Da., Aug. 26.—1n the Senate
this morning, after an hour’s speech by Mr.
Dean, his famous bill to sell the State road
was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 23
to 17, which means that it will not come up
again this session. It also settles the ques
tion of the sale of the State road for the
present, as no bill for the sale can pass this
Senate, nor is it believed such a bill could
pass the House. The sentiment seems to bo
to leave the question for the next Legisla
ture, which properly has the disposition
of it.

CONVICT CAMP CRUELTY.
Gov. Gordon’s Vigorous Action Meet
ing With General Approval.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 26. —There is noth
ing new in the executive office in the Bing
ham convict camp matter except that the
written report of Dr. Westmoreland was
submitted to-day. Dr., Westmoreland re
turned from the camps Inst night and re
ix>rts on his examination of Convicts whom
he describes as inhumanly beaten. In the
case of some of them the skin is ulniost
completely taken off the buttocks. Public
opinion strongly indorses Gov. Gordon’s
action, and a large number of citizens
have called upon him to jier
sonally express their warm approval.
The Governor is firm in his determination
to see the law strictly enforced, even to the
cancellation of the lease, and the probability
is, as the Legislature is fortunately in ses
sion, that it will be called on to make pro
vision for tho convict camps Nos. 2 and 3.
This may help that body to a solution of the
convict question.
SAVED BY A TERRIER.
A Macontte Awakened by His Dog
Finds His House on Fire.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 26.—Mr. William
Rogers had a narrow eseaiie this morning
about 2 o’clock from death in the flames.
He has been ' occupying a house recently
built near Unionvillo. Mr. Rogers slept
last night with the door of his house open,
and left a lamp burning. He was awakened
by a little pet Scotch terrier jumping on his
bed and barking and crawling over his face.
As soon as ho opened his eyes and saw the
dog he knew that something serious was the
matter, and at the same moment felt a great
warmth and heard the crackling and snap
ping of fire. He sprang out of bed and dis
covered that the entire house was
wrapt in flames and being rapidly,
destroyed. The fire had made such head
way that lie could not save his household
effects. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by the bursting of the lamp that had
been left burning when he went to lied. The
house was insured for $1,400 in the Lan
cashire company, represented in Macon by
T. U. Conner.

and it is supposed died from some heart
trouble, though he had suffered some time
from consumption. There wits no one in
the shop at tho time but a little negro boy
in the employ of Mr. Herrington. A few
moments before his death he t<>ld the boy to
hurry up and finish his work as he wished
to go home. The boy stepped into on ad
joining room and liegan the work. In a few
moments a messenger was seat down to Mr.
Herrington's to obtain a screwdriver, and
on entering the shop he spoke to him. and
receiving no reply, shook the old gentle
man and found him dead. There was uo
evidence of a struggle. He leaves a wifo

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1887.
RECTOR GLAZEBROOK’S TROUBLE.
The Charge Against Him Given In
Fuller Detail—His Denial.
The Morning News, of Thursday,printed
a brief dispatch from Middletown, Conn.,
stating that Rev. Mr. Glaz -brook was
charged with improper conduct toward a
lady of his congregation, and that he met
the evidence of eye-witnesses of improper
conduct with an emphatic denial. Mr.
Glazebrook is well-known in Georgia,having
lieon forseveral yeararector of Christ church,
at Macon, in which city lie was very popu
lar. A!>out live years ago he was Wily
hurt in an accident on the Southwestern
Railroad, and received, it is understood, a
large sum in compensation for his injuries
from the Central Railroad, the leasee of the
Southwestern. The disability caused by
this accident forced him to retire for some
time from the active duties of his profession,
and lie returned to his native State, Vir
ginia. About two years ago he took charge
of St. John’s Episcopal church, of Elizabeth,
N. J. Of the trouble in which he is now in
volved the New York Herald gives the fol
lowing particulars:
M iss Julia Foote and her mother, of
Elizabeth, N. J., have for the past six years
spent their summers at Durham. This sum
mer, soon after they came to Durham, the
Rev, Otis A. Glazebrook, rector of St. John's
Episcopal church, of Elizabeth, N. J.,
made liis appearance at Durham, and
soon, tlie gooixl jieople of Durham assert,
they noticed his familiarity with Miss
Foote.
The little walks of Mr. Glazebrook and
Miss Foote caused so much talk that three
young men, named Atwell, Latham and
Rogers, decided to follow them. They did
so last Friday afternoon and claim that
they saw Miss Foote enter the old cemetery
at tlie rear end. (She proceeded to the Pro
fessor Fowler lot, which is surrounded with
an evergreen hedge about four feet high.
Hero she met Rector Glazebrook. The
young men toll the following story:
THE CHARGE.
“We hid behind a gravestone and saw the
couple in a compromising jxwition. We
were too much horriftod to speak at first,
but finally shouted. Then Glazebrook
jumped up and started down the hill on n
run. As lie jumped a fence he lost his hat
which is now in our possession. His eom
panion gathered herself up leisurely, took
up her waterproof and two umbrellas and
asked in a calm manner if there was any
thing wo wanted, and then started toward
her home. Wo returned to the slaughter
house, where we work, securing the rector’s
liat in the morning.”
These young men belong to tho best fam
ilies in Durham, and their story is lielieved
l)} - nearly every one residing in that village.
The correspondent called on Rector Glaze
brook to learn his story. He is a pleasant
bine eyed gentleman about 50 years of ago,
but does not look to be over 40. He re
ceived liis visitor very cordially, and when
asked concerning the ugly rumor regarding
his actions he said: —
RECTOR GLAZEBROOK DENIES.
“Miss Foote is about 40 years old, com
municant in my church at Elizabeth. She
told me of this pleasant village, and I de
cided to spe id my vacation here, and so
came to Durham. I was much pleased, and
decided to write a sketch of the place, and
asked Miss Foote to go with me and make a
sketch of the Fowler lot and tlie Hurriet
Webster monument.
“This she was doing, with my assistance,
when the young men shouted. I thought
one of my children might lie drowning in n
{Kind and I started to its rescue. As I
juni])ed over the fence a tennis hnt, which
was in my pocket, toll out. I had another
hat on my head. 1 was not aware that any
one accused me of anything criminal, and
can assure you before God that there is no
truth in the rumors,”
Mr. Glazebrook left this noon for Eliza
beth to secure a committee of lus vestrymen
to come to Durham to investigate the mat
ter. Before going he caused tlie following
card to be published in the Herald, of this
city:
“I have just seen the article in your jwiper
reflecting upon a lady of my congregation
and myself. Pleasd permit me to make the
following statement in your issue of today;
I pronounce tlie disgusting charge made
against me by a parcel of irresponsible and
prejudiced boys an unmitigated falsehood.
1 lleg this enlightened and just public to
withhold its opinion until there can lie a
thorough and impartial investigation of tho
charge. I shall make no delay in submit
ting in)’ conduct during my stay in Durham
to tho serutiny of my bishop anil vestry.
Very respectfully,
“Otis A. Glazebrook.”
Tho attention of Bishop John Williams,
of this city, has been called to the matter.
He will investigate.
Mr. Glazobrook has had fourteen chil
dren. six of whom are living. His family
is in Durham.
REITERATING HIS DENIAL.
Groat excitement was caused in Elizabeth,
N. J., yesterday by the publication of the
story implicating the Rav. Otis A. Glaze
brook, rector of St. John’s Episcopal church
in that city, and Miss Julia Foote, whoso
mother is proprietor of the Elizabeth Jour
nal.
Mr. Glaze brook, who had just returned
to his home in East Jorsey street, Elizabeth,
from Durham, Conn., the scene of the al
leged scandal, indignantly denied the truth
of the story to a Herald reporter last night.
He wanted, he said, to face ids congrega
tion and convince them of Ihe falsity of the
charges, which were made by three irre
sponsible boys, the eldost of whom was not
over 17 years.
“These boys,” continued the rector, “as
sert that they saw me in a compromising
situation with Miss Foote in the cemetery
at Durham, and what is worse the people
thore, who have formed a prejudice against
me, are iuclined to believe the statement.
The fact is Miss Foote and I wore in the
cemetery. She was taking a sketch and I
was gathering material fora history I am
now writing of Durham, where Miss
Foote’s family siiend their summers. Miss
Foote has kindly assisted me in my work.
“1 was dumbfounded when I saw the
scandalous story printed in the Middletown
Ilerald. I immediately wrote to the editor
denying the charges.”
The rector further stated that his wife
was perfectly sntislled el 1 his innocence.
Miss Foots l and her mother hud lieeii in con
sultation with him and his wife as to what
steps to take. He would immediately tele
graph to his Bishop and demand an official
investigation.
Mr. Glazobrook has been rector of St.
John’s for two years and is very popular in
Elizabeth. Some time ago h>' was going to
resign on account of ill health, but ins con
gregation held a meeting and requested him
to n-consider liis determination to leave.
He is a graduate of the University of Lex
ington, Va., and was a student there when
Stonewall Jackson was a professor. He
fought during the war on the Confederate
side and distinguished himself by his brav
ery. 110 resigned a professorship in the Uni
versity of Virginia to go to Elizabeth. Re
cently he was tendered bv Col. Ropes the
chuplaincy of the Third New Jersey regi
ment and accepted the commission.

BRAVE MRS. WILLOUGHBY.
A Woman Who Defended Her Hus
band's Property Against a Railway.
From tlu- Philadelphia Perm.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 24.—T. C. Wil
loughby, a well-to-do planter of Williams
burg couuty, owns and operates u tramroad
which runs from Scranton, a station on the
Northeastern railroad, to Mr. Willoughby's
saw mills, several miles in the interior. The
rails were rented from the railroad com
pany, between whom ami Mr. Willoughby
a dispute has arisen concerning the rental.
\ few days ago, taking advantage of Mr.
Willoughby’s absence in Philadelphia, the
assistant superintendent and roadmaster of
the railroad, wirli a material train and
force of hands, and accompanied by the
county sheriff, went to the end of the tram
road ami begun tearing up the rails as they
returned. After their worl. the train was
loaded and ordered to be run out on the
main line.
Before it had reaeln-d the junction, how
ever, Mrs. Willoughby, whq is a handsome
Kentucky woman, took up a position on tho
tramroad in front of the engine, declared
that the train should proceed no further
and that she would hold the fort until her
husband’s return. She had a rocking chair
and a sofa brought out, and making herself
as comfortable as possible under the circum
stances, remained there throughout the
night. Next morning the railroad’s attor
ney arrived upon tho scene and endeavored
to persuade Mrs. Willoughby to vacate her
jxisition, but his eloquence was wasted, the
plucky woman remaining deaf to all argu
ments. Later in the afternoon a compro
mise was affected, providing that if Mrs.
Willoughby would vacate that night and
lot the engine out it would be put back in
the same position next morning and remain
there until she secured counsel.
This agreement was carried out, and tho
following morning two lawyers arrived to
represent Mr. Willoughby. A consultation
was held between the three lawyers, hut no
agreement could bo arrived at. The rail
road attorney then ordered the railroaders
to come out with the iron, whereupon Mrs.
Willoughby’s men proceeded to tear up the
rails in front of the engine. A few spikes
were draw’n, but the railroad hands drove
them again, and the train was moving out.
At this juncture Mrs. Willoughby came up
and resumed her position on the track,
facing the advancing engine. Cries were
made atoiut the same time by Mrs. Wil
loughby's men for guns and pistols. A six
teen-shooter rifle was placed in Mrs. Wil
loughby’s hands, and as the engine approach
ed her she leveled the piece at the engineer
and she ordered luui to stop. He obeyed tho
order instantly, and here the matter rested
until another consultation was held, when
a compromise satisfactory to Mrs. Willough
liy was agreed upon and the train was finally
permitted to depart.
