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.

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. The Savannah Weekly News. Sixteen Images. For Saturday. Sept. 17, 1887. READY THIS MORNING. CONTENTS.
