To prevent the running at large of stock in Crawford count) A resolution authorizing the Governor to lease or sell to the Planters’ Warehouse Company, of Calhoun, Gordon county, so much of tho vacant depot ground in that town on the Western and Atlantic railroad, ns is needed for the erection of a warehouse. This bill almost precipitated another dis cussion on the State road question. It was first amended by striking out “or sell.” Then a provision was inserted that the warehouse should be brick, file-proof, and then the bill was tabled. The proposition was far from popular, and will hardly come up again. The following new bills were introduced: By Mr. Wright, of the First—A hill to amend section 3057 of the Code so as to ex empt from the provisions of section 19t>9 of the Code deeds and bills of sale given to se cure debt. By Mr. Dean, of tbe Folly second—A trill to prohibit the running of railroad trains by overworked officers or employes. By Mr. McLeod, of the Fifteenth—A bill for the protection of game and song-birds in Telfair county; also a bill to authorize the Ordinary of Telfair county to sell insol vent tax fi fas at public outcry. In the House In the House to-day the special order was tbe bill to appropriate $5,000 to the State University. Mr. Rawls, of Effingham, said that if he believed the University needed the money and could g>', it bv no other means than by going into the Stato Treasury lie would favor the bill, bu lie was convinced that tbe University owned lands and town lots from the salo of which the money needed could be raised and that they could well be spared by the university. He said that all over the State there were schools and colleges in successful operation without aid from the State, and he thought the univer sity eoulu get along without this extra ap propriation. He preferred to vote a liberal amount for common school education. Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, said the bill did not touch the question of education in. Georgia. It simply provided for the preser-’ ration of the property of the State Uni versity. He favored the bill. LECTURED CRAWFORD’S ATTITUDE. Lectured Crawford, of Mclntosh, ex plained his position, declaring himself in favor of tbe bill, and of co-operation with the white race in any measure for tho ad vancement of the State. Mr. McCord, of Richmond, urged the passage of the lull. It passed by a vote of Kki to 31. Tbe next bill taken up was that appro priating $5,000 for the branch college at Dahlonega. Mr. Duggan, of Hancock, offered a sub stitute appropriating $1,500 to the bl anch colleges at Dahlonega, Thomasville and Milledgeville • Mr. Hun , of Hancock, said tho buildings of the Middle Georgia College, at Milledge ville, were in as bad condition as those of any other college. Ho said that while the students at the University cost $130.43 per capita, the State only appropriated (98.50 per capita for each student at the Dahlonega College, (8.10 per capita for those at the Thomasville College, and (3.43 per eapita for those at Milledgeville. He insisted on the good work of the Milledgeville College, and strongly suppoited an appropriation for it. Mr. McLendon supported the substitute He said that the jicople of Thomasville hud put their hands in their own pockets to build thi> college edifice there, and this was the first application they hud made to the State for an appropriation. Mr. Williams, of Harris, moved toarnend by adding the Hamilton College. EVERY TUB ON ITS OWN BOTTOM. Mi. Mathews, of Houston, said that “every tub should stand on its own bottom” and he was opposed to bunching these ap propriation; she thought separate and inde pendent bills for each should be offered. Mr. Harrison, of (Quitman, offered an amendment including the college at Cuth bert, Mr. McCord thought the Dahlonega bill had been offered in good faith, but lie said that neither the college at Hamilton nor that at Cuthbert was a brunch of the State University. Tlicv had of their own accord severed their relations with the University by not complying with the requirements of the act for their establishment. He read estimates showing that the repairs of the buildings at Milledgeville would cost over $*5,000. and an appropriation of $5,000 wus asked for. He asked Mr. McLendon how much was needed for Thomasville, and Mr. McLendon thought $5,000 was needed. He said that in view of these needs he would vote for the appropriations as he would vote for appropriations for the preservation of any other property of the State. He would never consent that Georgia should have to send her sons to other States for an educa tion. Mr. Chappell thought that the State could afford, and should make, ull the ap propriations asked for. We should do equal justice to all. He insisted that the college at Hamilton hud complied with all the re quirements and conditions of the act for it.s establishment, and was as much entitled to State aid as the others. He did not know that the State had any title to property ut Hamilton, but it had the same interest in the college there as it had in tho other eoi leges. Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin, protested against the idea that the amendment including Mil ledgeville had been offered with u view to handicap the Dahlonega bill. He eulogized the success and merits of the college at Milledgeville, with the hero, Gen. D. H. Hill, at its bead. Mr. Duggan withdrew his substitute by leave of the House REPORTED BACK. The bill was reported back from com mittee of the whole with a recommendation that it pass. Mr. Gordon. Chairman of the F nance Committee, explained why il was that the committee had first reported adversely anil afterward favorably upon tins bill. The fiiTKt report was made when the committee was not full and in the absence of some of Uie friend* of the bill. The Hecoud, and favorable report, was inode by the full committee, fie said that llie ap Ui opriution was justified by the tax returns. ! which showed uu increase of $13,500,000 in the taxable propwrty of the State, yielding an increase of revenue amounting to S3O, 000, and that it could not be better applied ! than to the aid of the educational institu : tions of the Siam. He insisted that tlm j people of Georgia, if directly appealed to, i would cheerfully submit to taxation to raise i SIOO,OOO, or $500,000, or SI,OOO, (XX) for olu | national purposes. The bill passed by a vote of 03 to 43. The bill to authorize the Ordinaries of the ; several counties to issue fi fas for their fees, I passed. The resolution for the relief of E. A. Pol- I lock. Tax Collector of Pulaski county, I passed. NOT TO OVERWORK. Mr. Wheeler, of Walker, moved that the j House meet at 7:30 o'clock to-night to give a second rending to House bills favorably reisirted. The motion was lost. The bill to amend an act to incorporate tbe Metropolitan Street Railroad Company came up. The Senate amendment was con curred in. The bill to amend an act to incorporate tho Columbus Railroad Company came up. The Senate amendments were concurred in. For tho bill to exclude from the jury lists the c'ounty officers of the several counties a substitute was reported by the committee, which makes these officers incompetent to serve a-s grand jurors. The substitute wns adoptel and passed. The bill to incorporate the Albany Savings Bank passed. STATE CAPITAL SIFTINGS. Plana for the Prohibition, Fight—Tbe State Road Property. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 6. — A meeting of Prohibitionists, largely attended by leading advocates of the dry' cause, was held with closed doors last night. The present situa tion ami the outlook for the cause was dis cussed at some length and a plan of cam paign mapped out in a rough state. Nothing definite was done, however, as this was left for another meeting which will hie held in a few days, or as soon as Dr. Hawthorne re turns to Atlanta, as he will lie largely con sulted before the line of battle is formed. It was determined to procure a large tent in which to hold meetings, and to also secure the services of Sam Jones and Sam Small to assist Dr. Hawthorne in making the fight. Rev. W. J. Gaines (colored), was at the meeting, and it is understood that he has obligated him self to deliver the colored vote into the hands of the party. Both Democrats and Repub licans were at the meeting, and prohibition was made superior to political parties. A hot fight, is promised, of which tent meet ings, processions and brass bands will lie prominent features. GEORGIA'S CHATTANOOGA PROPERTY The joint legislative committee of three from the House and two from the Senate, appointed to examine the condition of the State’s property in Chuttanooga, returned last night. Senator ltolierts says the com mittee found that a good ileal of the land could be sold without injuring the terminal facilities of the Western and Atlantic rail road. The freight depot, he says, could be moved away from the central part of the city to a more suitable place on less valuable ground. The State would then be in a position to dispose of some very valuable property estimated by the Chattanooga real estate agents to be worth from (1,000,0(X) to $1,400,000. Principal Keeper Towel's received a dis patch this morning announcing the death of a negro convict, named Todd, who was drowned at Smith’s camp near Madison, while trying to escajie.

Hayes shot, at Thompson twice with a pis tol, the second shot taking effect in Thomp son's left shoulder, inflicting a painful flesh wound. Hayes, seeing that he had shot Thompson, commenced running in the direction of the woods with a view of escaping. Ho was pursued by all the employes on tho work, who or fanized themselves into a regular mob. hreuts that if caught he would be mur dered were freely made. Haves, after a long chase, wns captured by two of the bosses on the works, who had all they could do to keep the mob from putting Hayes to death. He was brought safely to the city and locked up. A SAW MILL EXPLOSION. Wreckage Strewn in Every Direction But No One Killed. Sumner, Ga., Sept. t).—J. W. Price’s saw mill, located at Poulan, three miles west of this place, was blown up yesterday by the explosion of the boiler. Tho mill house is a total wreck, the larger portion of the boiler being blown clear through it and across the railroad track, bending two rails which had to be replaced, thus delaying the mail train about an hour.

Ives, of the Florida Fruit Exchange, has returned from an extensive Western trip on business for the Exchange, going as far as Minnesota and perfecting arrange ments for marketing oranges. He said it was the universal expression that Florida oriuiges were superior to any. He said the growers estimated Louisiana’s crop ut 50,- 000 barrels, but he feared no competition from this State as the prospect for Florida’s yield were excellent.

Mr. Hardt* stated that the Savan nah, Florida arid Western, being an inter state road, would not take a prominent part in suggesting rates in the State of Florida, believing it to lie the province and right of roads wholly within the State to do so. Col. Papv made a very able argument to the commission on this line. To-morrow the officers of the Florida Railway and Navigation Company will be heard. The Supreme Qourt to-day adjourned in token of respect, to the memory of Mrs. Van Volkeuburg, wife of Associate Justice Van Volkenlmrg, who died yesterday. GADSDEN GOES DRY. A Majority of the Negroes Said to Have Voted Against Liquor. Quincy, Fla., Sept. f>. —Old Gadsden joins the Prohibition ranks. The Prohibi tionists claim the county by 250 majority. The election passed off very quietly, although the bar-rooms were open the en tire day. There was no organized opposi tion on the part of the liquormeu. It is said that the majority of the negroes voted dry, which has raised them much in the estimation of the respectable white citizens of the county. The liquor men threaten to appeal to the courts to nave the election set aside on account of alleged gross irregu larities in the calling of the election and the registration of voters. The tobacco growers are elated at the prospect of getting good prices for the pres ent crop. The Florida Railway and Navi gation Company have two special agents in a special car—Mr. Corry and Mr. Kretch mnr. The toy murderer who assassinated Cal vin Kllis’ daughter will have his preliminary examination to-morrow. Owing to the dry weather, much of the tobacco is still in the sheds drying, but from present appearances there will be some very nice tobacco in the crop. PENSACOLA’S LAND COMPANY.

A sailor cm hoard of the British bark William I/cavirt committed suicide yester day by hanging himself. A Western Mine Man. Denver Letter to the St. Louie Globe-Democrat. The Crown Point and Pinnacle paid over 81,000,(MM) and Morri ssey is asserted to have been worth at one time nearly a half million. Curious tales are told about Jack's ina bility to read or write. In the early days he was superintendent of the Boulder’s Nest mine at Central City, and one tine August afternoon he walked into the Teller House to get a room. The clerk handed him a pen. Jack looked at him. What was the jam for) To write his name in the register, the clerk explained. “Arrali, write it yersel’," said Jack, rub bing his hands and iilowing his tlugcrs, “Mo list* is froze and kulu’t liowid a pin. Put down John D. Morrissey, eshkwoiro, super intindiut av the Bowlder’s Nisht, an’ that’ll do.” The clerk smiled and wrote the name. They had smallpox in Leadville in 1879. One day snow was very deep in the street ! and a painter in rhe basement of the post I office building made a big sign, “Keep off I the grass,” and playfully stuck it in a suow- I hank. Somebody called Morrissey's atten ! tion to the sign as lie passed, and tie looked and said: “ Vis, he juicers, shiiiall|s>x —ain't it too bad!” Jack imd a triend who read his letters for him when lie was managing the Crown Point and Pinnacle. His habit was when lie received letters to call at this friend's office and throwing down the let ters nonchalantly to remark: “There you ar\ See fwhat owld Di’iiiind has to say to day. ’’ If the friend wasted any t ime in j looking over the letter, Juek would say, no I matter who or how many were present: “Head it out and let iz nil hear fwhat lie lie has to say.” Then lue letter would he j rood aloud and everybody would be ac quainted with its contents. Although Jack was illiterate liimseif he was ambitious to tnarry a woman who knew , something als cut letters, Aissirdingly he selected a winsome little lass in iSiiminit county and sent her to St. Mary’s Academy, Denver, to lie educated, intending to uuiito ; her Mrs. J. 1). .Morrissey when she became old enough.

SOUTHERN GIRLS. A New York Man Concludes That They Are Prettier Than Their North ern Sisters. White Sulphur utter itt .Veic York Times. The aristocracy of Virginia is here repre sented largely, and that of the South gen erally to quite a degree, though not as greatly as in former years. It now goes to Narragansett, Newport, Bar Harbor, with a small sprinkling, from long habit, to the Jersey coast. Clustered about the grate in the office is invariably a group of gentle men, spare of figure,’ with chin beards, gravely discussing tbe political situation and sun-dried plug tobacco They shrewdly sum up the condition of affairs nationally, and punctuate their observations with line shots at the cuspidor or tho coals. The number of young men is unusual. White Sulphur is probably the only place among the well-known summer resorts where there is a cavalier for every young lady. Those melancholy, if brilliant colored bouquets of singing and lonoaoiuo maidens which are sadly discoverable in hallways and piazzas in New York and New England resorts are not seen here. The young men of the South turn out in summer as numerously as the young ladies, partly liecau.se it is the habit of" their people, and partly because the South does not now, and never did, follow that ceaseless and unwise pursuit of the dollar, night and day, which is tcharocteristic of the more commercial civilization of the North. They believe in pleasure, and come here to get it. The summer has been a bril liant round of gayeties, which still continue. Germans, card parties, lawn parties, dinner parties and all other means of passing the time in brilliant garb are the prevailing in dulgence. Flirtation in all the branches known to society is the polite art. The quota of resultant marriages is not as great as formerly, but still tho sentimental pre liminaries take place here in many cases. The ladies are better looking than their sisterhood of tho North. The average of female beauty is high. Those jewel-hung antiques in blazing satins that make blue glasses desirable in more than one plutocratic resort of the North are scarce here. They are replaced by tbe Southern mother, a sweet-faced, gentle-voiced lady in black, whom it is always a pleasure to observe. The most notable characteristic of South ern society, so far as it is represented at White Sulphur, is its lack of stiffness. It would seem that a descent from Mrs. John Rolfe, nee Pocahontas, or from those estima ble first-lady residents who were auctioned off for plug tobacco in the early days of Vir ginia should not bring about social methods any different from the customs of the ;x>s terity of those fat and good-humored Dutch housewives who culled cabbage for sauer kraut in New Amsterdam, or fried lignum vitie doughnuts in the shadow of Plymouth Rock. Nevertheless it is so. The people are more at ease and less suspicious of each other "down here. Ttiey know each other’s families for genera tions. The commercial criterion is absent in the social tribunal. The South is inhab ited by a population mmposi'd entirely of first and second cousins. It isnot invaded by new people, from outside districts, who have come to give the outward and visible signs of an inward colossal boodle,and whose antecedents must lie investigated, both as to moral character and financial standing, be fore calls or other social intimacies ane ex changed. Consequently, that stiffness and exclusiveness which is characteristic of a so ciety on an uncertain basis is pleasantly absent in the gayly-dressed throng as it ebbs and flows through the corridors of the hotel and about the lawns that freshen the grounds in all directions. Everybody knows everybody else, apparently, and everybody appears to be enjoying life. The old people drink sulphur water and the young ones champagne. The patriarchs play whist and the rising generation play hearts. It is not the new game of “Hearts,” that pasteboard invention which cost the novice his sleep and his salary whenever he ventures, bat that older game, that popular diversion|invented on Olympus and 'per fected in A vermis, which continues to in terfere with digestions and delightfully warp the judgment in the mountains of West Virginia precisely as it lias with Paris and Helen, France4ca and Paola, Mr. Mon tague ami Mias Capulet, Elaine and Lance lot, the fat lady and the Ohio skeleton, and all the other shapes, kinds and conditions of humanity hi this motley ant hill called the world. ANTOINETTE SOMES' ROMANCE. Runs Away to Marry Her Lover and Returns the Wife of a Future Baron. /- rum the Troy Press. Several days ago a handsome lady, ac companied by a bright pale-faced boy of some five years, registered at the Troy House as “Mrs. I. Maitland and son, Shang hai, China.” There is quite a romance con nected with Mrs. Maitland's life. Some twenty years back, Mrs. Maitland lived with her parents on North Tiiird street. She was a romantic school girl of some fifteen summers, and was then known as Antoinette Sonias. In some inconceivable way the girl formed an attachment fora young man living out of town. The Somes people were of the stern Quaker blood, and, bearing of tlieir daughter's clandestine meet ings with the young man from out of town, Antoinette was forbidden to keep further company with her lover. But where is tbe young school girl that reasons at the age of guileless 15 ? The imrents meant well, but their daughter looked at their opposition as merciless persecution. The girl accordingly made arrangements with h r lover to leave the city. An elopement was the result, and Antoinette was renounced by her watchful sire. Everything wont well with tbe young and romantic couple. They were married and settled in California. After a few years of married bliss Antoinette hut her hus band. Some friends were going to China, and they persuaded the young woman to aceonipany them. So in far-off China the Troy girl found a home. Her parents lost all truce of her whereabouts for many years. The young woman seemed to pos sess a lucky star. She was courted and flattered by the gay colony of Americans at Shanghai, and reigned u belle for years. One day she was taken sick and her life hung by a thread for many weeks. Shi- was advised to visit a health resort in China, and accordingly did as she was bidden. While the invalid was slowly gaining strength she formed the acquaintance of a wealthy Scotch merchant named I. Mait land, the eldest son of Sir John Maitland, a Scotch Baron, who possesses many acres in the laud of Caledonia. Mr. Maitland fell in love with the Troy girl, and, to make a long story short, married her. This is our Troy girl's romance. Mrs. Maitland was advised some months since to leave her home ut Khunghai, China, owing to the poor healt h of her son. A trip to America was recommended, and accordingly Mrs. Maitland started with her bov tor the tar-off home she Imd left so many years ago. A great many changes bail occurred in Trey since Mrs. Maitland so suddenly departed. Her father had died, but her mother, Mrs. Maria Homes, and a liter still lived at the old home on North Third street. It is needless to say that the wanderer was received with open arms by the delighted relatives, and that the foolish little escapade of Mis. Maitland's girlhood was entirely overlooked. Mrs. Maitland is now visiting with friends on the Albany road. B|je intends to remain in Troy until spring, and possibly longer if her boy's health docs not improve. The Ixiy, John Maitland, is the future heir to the estate and dignity of his Scotch grandfather, Sir John Maitlunil. A I*'isvn,uc, Kv., dispatch to the New York Tribune is us follows. “John W.
