2 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. The Brady bill was made tho special or der for next Wednesday.

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.

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. SUNSHINE AT SARATOGA. The Track Not Yet in Good Condition for the Races.

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.
