In the House.
In the House to-day the bill of Mr. McLen
don, of Thomas, to appropriate $4,000 for the
Branch College at Thomasville, was amend
ed so as to appropriate $3,500 instead of
$4,000.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, proposed to
amend the bill by appropriating the same
amount to each county in the State for
school purposes.
Mr. Ham, of Hall, raised the point that
Mr. Harrell's amendment was not germain
to the bill. The point was sustained.
7 Mr. Brav. of bultou, argued iu favor of
the bill fie said the college at Thomasville
■was net local. All the children in the State
have equal privileges in attending it. 'file
property belonged to the .State, and it wus
her duty to keep it in good condition. -It was
the policy of the State to sustain a higher
order of education. It was not wise to es
tablish a branch college in each county, but
it was proper to have them in each section.
It is a duty we owe the children of the State
to keep up" these colleges.
Mr. Featherstone, of Floyd, opposed the
bill as an unwise measure, lie saw no rea
son why Thomasville should have prefer
ence over other schools of the Ktatc which
have an equal grade.
Mr. Harrell, of Webster, argued against
the bill. He was in favor of education that
would be equal to all counties. It was un-
Kto appropriate money to Thomasville
deny it to other counties of the State.
Mr. Jones, of Baker, moved to amend the
bill by striking out $15,500 and inserting
$2,500. This was ruled out of order. The
bill was laid on the table by a vote of 70
yeas to 47 nays.
The bill of "Mr. Bray, of Fulton, to pro
vide for the establishment of State voting
precincts in each ward in the city of Atlanta
passed.

amend the game laws of Fulton county

pointed to study the convict least' system of

TWO BULLETS IN HIS HEAD.
Strange Story of a Woman's Love and
Her Treacherous Vengeance.
Prom the AVw York Iferold.
Cleveland, 0., Sept. 11.—The most re
markable and sensatioual crime is reported
from the little town of Cambridge, the
county seat of Guernsey county, in this
State. It is the probably fatal shooting of
John Harris, the son of a wealthy farmer re
siding near Caldwell, by Miss Lou Morrison,
a beautiful brunett* 1 , of Gilmer county,
West Virginia. Harris received two bullets
in the forehead between and above the eyes,
and, strange to say, still lives.
HARRIS’ STRANGE YARN.
The circumstances attending the crime,
which road more like fiction than truth, as
obtained from Harris are about as follows:
Some fifteen months ago, while traveling
in West Virginia, he met Miss Morrison,
who is the daughter of a lumber merchant.
He says she became infatuated with him,
although he declined to encourage her.
Harris insists that there was nothing im
proper in their relations. About three
months ago he again visited Gilmer county
and saw Miss Morrison. When hb loft she
followed him. He tried to elude her. but
she confronted him ut the hotels and on the
street. She seemed to be assisted by a man
whom Harris frequently saw watching
him, und finally he decided to go to Mexico,
hoping to thus escape his tormentor, but in
vain. She followed him through Mexico
and all through the Southern States until
Harris gave up in disgust. He tried every
way possible to throw her off his track, but
failed in every instance.
A PHOTO AND A PISTOL.
On Friday Harris was in Cambridge, and
put up at the Berwick Hotel. Upon re
turning to th* hotel, later in the evening,
he was informed that a young woman was
waiting for him in the parlor. It was Miss
Morrison. He asked her what she wanted,
and what he could do for her. She replied
that if he would give her a photograph she
would leave. Harris went to his room for
that purpose, accomnanied by Miss Morri
son. lie secured the photograph, and was
just rising from his valise, when she drew a
revolver and fired two shots at him, placing
the weapon almost against his forehead.
Harris fell to the floor, and has a faint
recollection of the woman kissing him sev
eral times. He then became unennscious.
About 12 o’clock she left the hotel, the shots
not having been hoard bv any of the occu
pants, and boarded the Baltimore and Ohio
train going east.
About 8 o’clock the following morning
Harris recovered consciousness, and, feeling
about his head, discovered he had been shot
twice.
HARRIS GAVE NO ALARM.
He gave no alarm whatever, but, con
cealing the fact. Washed his head, and pull -
ing his hat down over the wounds left for
Caldwell. Upon reaching Caldwell he was
very weak, and was driven to the hotel in a
hack, when he began growing worse and
asked for a physician, who examined the
wounds and stated that Harris had been
saved from instant death by tlw*' bullets en
tering the thick portion of the skull between
the eves He said they were very bad
wounds, and might yet prove fatal. Harris
was able to talk, but at times his mind wan
dered, and. strange to say, he seem* and per
fectly cognizant of the fact. At first Harris
declined to give the name of his would-be
murderer, bnt finally consented.
The part of his story concorn ing his re
lations with Miss Morrison, who is supposed
to be playing the part of an avenger, are
discredited. Harris is 25 years of age. and
is engaged to be married to Miss Nellie
Geiger, of -Newark, 0,, daughter of Col.
Fred Geiger, prominently connected with
the Adams Express Company. The pro
prietors of the hotel hi Cambridge think
that Harris shot himself.
INFATUATED WITH HIS NIECE.
The Strange Story Told by a Heart
broken Wife in Newburgh.
From the New York Sun.
Newburgh, Sept. 10.—A fine-looking
lady of middle age stopped at a Smith street
residence to-day. She was exhausted, and
weeping bitterly. She said she came from
Marlborough, Ulster county, seven miles
north of Newburgh, was the wife of a well
known farmer, and had four children. Her
husband, who 35, she said, was infatuated
with a seventeen-year-old girl, liis niece,who
lived with the family, and she at length de
cided that cither the niece or herself should
leave the house. A family council was held,
the girl being admitted The girl said
she was deeply in love with her unele,
and the "uncle said he the
girl, and nothing could keep them apart,
and to get rid of his wife he offered to deed
to her all of the real estate he owned in
Marlborough, which is said to be valuable.
The wife, seeing that there was no hope for
her, a* length consented. An agreement
was made to come to Newburgh to-dny and
hove the necessary papers drawn. Tho
niece said she would come on ahead and re
main here until everything hud lieen ar
ranged. Bhe came ana occupied rooms in a
hotel last night. The husband came to-day,
the wife following on tho next train, her
suspicions of a runaway being aroused. She
was accompanied by a friend, and when
they arrived a meeting was held. Then a
lawyer was engaged to draw up the docu
ments for tho transfer of the property.
After the woman had told her story she
was seen on the street in con.tinny with tho
niece. The wife is byfar the better looking
of the two. She said that the papers were
not yet completed, but would be beforo
night.
Possums Outdo the Snake,
Fr om the l.umpkin ((to.) Independent.
While fish and snake stories are on the
boom the succulent possum must not be
neglected. John (Collins says that during
the moonlight nights of Inst week he was
on the war path for n possum; that in atmut
an hour the dogs treed in a iiersimmon tree
111 the edge of the woods, and while he could
sis' through the small tree lie could find noth
ing that looked like a possum. He thought he
saw a large dead lliuh hanging in the tree
and thought lie would shake the Iris* any
how, it being but a small one. On shaking
it strongly out tumbled six of the Woolly
lacks, one large one and five small ones.
He savx each one hod his tail wrapped
around another's neck, and the old one had
her tall wound round a limb, and that they
were swinging down about three fet iii
length and looked like a knotty dead limb.
That was indeed a curious chain of possums.
