2 FELTON FIGHTS THE SALE HE UETS SENTIMENTAL OVER THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC. According to His Notion One of the Pillars of tho Educational Fund Would be Wiped Out by Disposing of the Road--A Dull Day In the Sen ate. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 23.—1n the Senate this morning the bill introduced by Mr. Russell, of Chatham, to allow the sale of property in trover, where neither plaintiff nor defendant replevies, in the same manner •s is now permitted in cases of levy under attachments, was read the third time and passed. The bill of Mr. Northcutt, looking to the restoration of the lost records in Fulton ■county trom the abstract books of the At lanta Warranty Title Company, was passed. The bill authorizes an Ordinary to require persons having copies of lost records to pro duce them before him, so copies can be made. * This afternoon the following bills wore read the third time and (Missed: To authorize and retire the registration of voters in the county of Bartow. To provide for amendment of affidavits to foreclose bills. To amend tho charter of the city of At lanta so as to provide for another assistant tax receiver and assessor. To amend section 3533 of the Code as to continuances for the relief of Henry J. Lawn, of Macon. To require defendants in allidavit cases to withdraw affidavits of forgery made to a plaintiff's deeds in all cases where it shall appear that said deed or deeds have been lost or destroyed. To amend section 2,138 of the Code by inserting warehouse receipts, elevator re ceipts and bills of lading. For the relief of the Home Provident Safety Fund Association, of New York. For the relief of James Jordon on the bond of William V. Gafrry, J. W. Gary and James Jordon. To authorize the City Council of Augusta to collect by execution sums due the city for water used on premises from the Augusta water works. In the House. In the House this morning consideration of the bill to sell or lease the Western and Atlantic railroad was resumed with Mr. Felton, of Bartow, on the Hoor. He said that he wanted to ugain put himself on record as being bitterly opposed to the sale of the property and he behoved that a ma iority of the [leople of the State were with him on this question. He wanted to see Representatives from the mountains and wiregrass section gather lovingly around this road and protect it from agencies which were seeking to get it from the people of the State. He regretted to see a member from the grand old county of Chatham (Gordon) favoring the sale of the road. He remem bered the time when that grand old man, Francis S. Bartow, of Chatham, hail a tight in opposition to the sale of the property. This road had done much for Georgia and her present prosperity. During the war it was this road that transported our troops to battle for Georgia. This road that has been an Alladin’s lamp to Georgia is now to be hawked about as a peddler would his wares. The man who seeks to sell this road votes to wipe out. one of the main pillars of the educational fund of the State. If this road is sold the Legislature must resort to direct taxation to maintain the public school system. The gentleman from Webster (Mr. Har roll) had only a few days ago introduced a bill to si'll ISO shares of Georgia railroad stock, the dividends on which have lieen going to the public school fund. The public school system was being jeopardized lie reviewed the resources of the public school fund and showed how they were gradually being cut off. ALL DWINDLING AWAV. The liquor tax of SOO,OOO was gone, or very nearly so Then there was the SIO,OOO from the lease of convicts. That would in all probability be wiped out. Thedividends from ISO shares of Georgia railroad stock was going. Tiie tax from theatrical jht formanee* is diminishing under the rules of the Railroad Commission. All the funds are dwindling away and dropping from view. The man who votes for the bill votes to doom tiie children of this State to illiteracy and ignorance. The gen tlemen say that they want to pay the debts of the State. Down in the Finance Commit tee they got wild when they talkod about taxation. Why, Georgia is taxed less than almost any State in the Nuion. He thought that there was wonderful sim ilarity between the scheme proposed by the 1 majority report and tho one that, was engin eered bv Bullock, Kimball, Bryant, and Foster Blodgett. Neither of them Axed a price on the property. If the road could be rented for $50,000 per month, and Gov. Brown says that it is worth that much, nnd suppose that you could get good, honest officers ; to run the road, in fourteen years the .State 1 debt would be wiped out of'existence. By ! selling the road you stop the flow into the j pockets of (lie people of Georgia of $300,000 P*t year. Gov. Brown knows more about ! that road than any man in the State. Gov. Brown, and 1 have his statement for it, says that if that road w as sold that the proceeds of the sale and the bonds of the .State would never meet. Mr. Harrison asked for the date of the statement. Mr. Felton sent one of his historical scrap books to Mr. Harrison, and continued by saving: “You will find the whole story th> re written in a most interesting manner, i hope you will read it.” HAD EXTRACTS READ. The speaker scut to the Clerk's desk nnd had read, its part of his argument, several extracts of statements made by Senator Brown upon the value of the property when it was leased, the improvements put on the road from time to time, and the statement <>t Julius 1,. Brown, attorney for the lessees, made Iwfore the investigating committee in l disclaiming any intention of making a claim for betterments, and also the recently written letters of Gov. Brown, threatening to wreck the road un less he was paid for betterments. There were two parties, it will be remembered, who were after tho road. There was the Macon, headed by Ben Hill, William B. Johnson, and A. J. Milner, and At lanta headed by Gov. Brown and 11. I. Kimball, who had associated with him Pennsylvania. Ohio nnd Radical scalawag epiriu. black and spirits gray—a motley crew. The lessees never invested a dollar in the case of that road oc in improve ments on the peoperty. All of the improvements were paid for out of the money that the people of Georgia would have got for the lease ci this magnificent property if the ends of justice had not been thwarted by money to push the scheme through; money jaud to attorneys, money jxtid to lobbyists and money paid right anil TREMENDOUS PROFITS. The lessees were making to-day in clean cash SHO I,OOO per year, and the mad rented for only $25,000 |**r month. The busmens was increasing daily. He had no objection to making Gov. Brown a prel'erm 1 lessee if be would come forward like a little man at tile end of the lease and say to tin l Slate, ‘•Just let m continue fc> own this pro|mrt • and 1 will give you $40,000 |jer tnontb. The gentleman from Cluit ham (Mr. Gordon), had talked a few days ago about competing lines. Hie Goodwater, Sweetwater, or some other water extension, and the Augusta and Knoxville and other rival lines. He was a/raid of noil” of them Tna VV*wtoi u and Atlantic railroad was a giant, able to oof* with any rival, and in Its majesty laugh* at all etT.a t* u> tank! roiiqs-tmg Hum. or ,n JuraP Ui any way “Mr Speaker, if i was , Cievta m of Gtttgia, goo any mm mads an i { attempt to pull up a rail or to move a fix- I ture ou that road, I would put him in the ; penitentiary quicker than you could say j Jack Robigeon.” Mr, Harrison, of Quitman, thought that j the gentleman from Bartow (Mr. Felton) j had an erroneous construction of the pro visions of the majority report, which was I in favor of advertising for bids for the sale or lease of tho Western and Atlantic rail road. Tho bill did not contemplate doing anything without the consent of the next Legislature. Tho j letters of Gov. Brown and the testimony | given in before the investigating committee sixteen years ago, had nothing to do with the question. He said that there was noth ing in the statement that the sale of the rood would injure tho public school system. BROWN'S CLAIM A BLANKET. Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, said that he thought the majority and minority reports were both premature. He thought the val j nation that would be put on the property if i tho majority report was carried out would j tend to injure the valuation of the prop erty. The road was now in the |>ossession of the lessess who have a claim for better ments. The question of whether this claim was a good one, and would hold, was not now to be considered. The outside world would not want to make a very high bid in the face of the claim for betterments; the bill practically gave the lessees a cor ner on the bidding for the property. The bids bind no one, but it puts a value on the property. No bidder will give much for tho property until it is shown what it con sists of. Mr. Huff, of Bibb, offered the following amendment: “That at no time, nor under any cireum stances, shall the Western and Atlantic railroad ever lie sold or leased to any person or company of persons, until all ques tions of disputes as to betterments be tween the Htato and the present lessees shall have been fully and completely disposed of so that when the said railroad property is offered for sale or lease, the State shall be in a condition to of fer the same entirely free from all incum brances of any kind and chararter. If no such settlement can be made be tween the Btate and the present lessees before the present lease contract expires then no sale or new lease shall be made until the expiration of the present law, at which time the Stale will come into full and com plete possession and control of the road, and will then be prepared to sell or lease tho same to the best possible advantage.” NOT IN CONDITION. Mr. Watt, of Stewart, said the property was not now in condition to be either sold or leased. There was quite an amount of prop erty scattered along the line, and located in Chattanooga, not necessary to the road, and which was the property of tho State, that could lie either sola or leased. He was in favor of stripping the road of all property not necessary to its usefulness and disposing or it. There was no necessity of either selling or leasing the road at this time. He did not think that the East Tennesse, Virginia and Georgia would injure the Western and Atlantic railroad. Tiie grade of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia was 54 degrees to the mile, ami on the Western and Atlantic the grade was much less. Any man knew what this meant in hauling heavy tonnage The Western and Atlantic w-os now shorter by thirteen miles than the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, and it was on record where the roadinastor of the West ern and Atlantic had stated that the mile age of the Western and Atlantic could be made eighteen miles loss than that of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia by slightly changing the route, anil at the same time do away with six out of the eight bridges now on the road. In the afternoon hour the report of the joint committee appointed to inquire into tiie business before the Legislature with the view of fixing a day of adjournment, was read. The committee reported a resolution proposing the fixing of Oct. 20, as the (lay tor filial adjournment. The unfinished business reported was: House bills and resolutions, 818; Senate bills and resolutions, Ids, Of this number 275 are in the hands of the committees. The report was received and tho resolution adopted. The deficiency appropriation bill j tassed The bill of Sir. Adams, of Greene, for the relief of Miles G. Copeland, tax collec tor passed. The bill of Sir. Arnheim, of Dougherty, to incorporate the Albany Street Railroad Company passed. A resolution to hold night sessions Mon days, Wednesdays and Fridays, commencing next week, was adopted. A TALE OF TWO ARMS. How Col. Me Wade and Maj. Porter Lost Them. From the New York Moii and Kx press. Narhagansett Pier. Sept. s.—Maj. W. Jay Porter and Col. John MeWade were sit ting at one end of the wide veranda looking at the lights on the Sound and listening to the sounds from the ball r<x>m. “Did you lose your arm in the war?” asked pretty Miss Josie as she looked with pitying interest at tho Colonel’s empty sleeve. “You tell her, Jay,” reput'd Col. MeWade. “It always affects me painfully to speak of my loss.” “Certainly I will, old fellotv. Anything to oblige you. This was years ago, Miss Josie,” continued Maj. Porter, "long before John liecame an opera singer. He was an enthusiastic angler, lie was passionately fond of the sjxjrt. If John had a goo 1 boat, a neat basket of lunch ton, plenty <>f bait, and a broad-lmttomed clam-rake, he would enjoy himself in the broiling sun for hours. 1 never met such an indent fisherman in all iny life. One day John lauded a clam that fairly took his breath away. You can judge from that what a powerful fish it was. It. was at least two feet, long and a foot, thick through the centre. John sat lor a few min utes, too much excited to speak. He had never seen so large a clam liefore. Visions of gigantic (dam-hakes Hashed before his miii'i. As he was musing on his capture lie failud to notice that 11)6 animal was moving. Slowly it crawled out of the basket where he had put it. over t<i John’s feet, cautiously and steal thily it crept, up bis legs until tlir lint thing Join knew it was lying on liis lan. To say that the Colonel was astonished would do his surprise but partial justice. It wav liis surprise that lost him Ins hand. Since tiiat fateful hour he has never allowed his sur prise to interfere with any hand that he might hold. It was only the other night, as we were playing a social game of—er- er whist, that John had lour aces, and I think lie was the only man in the room who was not surprised. What made it all the more astonishing, too, was the fact that it was John’s deal. But as I was going to sav, John was so surprised that ho let his arm fall across the monster's arm.” "Well f" inquired Miss Josie, nervously. “Oh,” replied the Major, calmly, “the clam bit it oil. Awful, wasn't it “Yes, indeed,” continued the Major, im pressively, but remarkable as that was, I lost my arm in a still more singular way.” “Is this story true, too, Major'” inquired Miss Josie. “My honor on it,” returned the Major, with a profound l*>w. “As 1 was ulsntt to say, the story of my loss is as strange a tale as you run find in fiction. It huppetied this way: When I was u little buy, 1 lived, as you know, with my wealthy grundfather on a pluutution in Louisiana. Among his slaves was an old negro from the very heart of Africa. lie laid Iss ii a priest among bis |Nple, and as I remember him lie still re tained his priestly air.

It was done in blue ink, and though somewhat, rudely drawn, it was clear and distinct. I begged him to tattoo a similar picture on my arm. Alter considerable iiereuaaion lie finally consented. It hurt, nut I stood it bravely. a:ul in tiie course of | two or throe days I had as fine a work of | art on my arm as old Neb’s itself. “Dear me," mused the Major, “how time Hies. Old Neb has been dead for thirty odd years. The slaves are free. The plantation belongs to one of them. I believe. My grandfather was killed in battle, and after roaming all around the world, here I am, the only one left awl the least worthy of. the lot. But 1 wander from the subject. “About ten years ago, after spending sev ! oral months in old Mexico, I returned to 1 New York, where I placed my silver mine on the market. A number of Wall street capitalists were very much interested m my projects, and I nu.de up a party to go back with me for a pleasure trip in which there might be some profit as well. It was in November, the 18th -a date I never shall forget—that we camjied in the valley of Opedeke. It was a beautiful night. The moon was never more brilliant, the air more clear or the wind more cool ing. We were laid on the grass after our supper, talking over the mines wo would ex amine farther up the rocky sides of the Sierra Madre on the morrow, until finally we fell asleep. I don’t know how long we had slept when we were awakened by the sound of low voices. As we opened our eyes we were confronted with flashing lights, and then we realized that wo were in the bands of a band of hostile Aztec Indians. But we didn’t know how securely we had been captured until we tried to move. We couldn’t stir hand or foot. We had lieen bound with leather thongs in our sleep. We were put on horseback, and under guard marched up the valley. “We must have ridden twenty miles up the steep and winding path when we turned sharply to the east, and following a narrow and almost invisible trail, we were soon hidden in the thick chaparral. I don’t know how they managed to find their way through it, but they did, nnd just as day light dawned we fotuid ourselves on a wide plain, surrounded on all sides by the high (leaks of the Sierra Madre. Wo had made our entrance between two cliffs, un i were soon m the centre of the plaza. As we neared that point we could see the adobe huts of the natives, and directly before the largest of the houses was erected a tall altar of white stone which gleamed and glistened in the purple light of the early morning like a shaft of polished marble. I suppose the structure must have lieen 50 feet high and nearly 20 feet square at the ajiex. It was very much larger at its base, and had steps leading up its sides to the top. Above the altar there arose a small column of smoke. We had arrived, it appeared, in time to witness a very singu lar sight. As the first rays of the sun reached the altar, and not a second before, the entire population, including our cap tors, prostrated themselves on the earth before the altar, and remained prone until an old man, who 1 afterward learned was the chief, chanted a weird song which was not at all unmusical. Directly he finished they rose to their feet and gathered around us to soe who we were and what our mission might be. “Our captors left us by ourselves under a guard and retired within the large house I spoke of, where they were joined by tho chief and the elders of the tribe. Although we could neither hear nor see them, we knew that our fate was being discussed and our lives depended on the result. We were kept in suspense about an hour, when the chief and his advisers filed out of the house and marched over to us. Not a word was spoken. Tho chief was our judge, and our sentence was pronounced by signs. You have no idea how impressive it was. I almost lost my fear of the future in my ad miration of the picturesuueness of the scene. By signs lie signified that we were then to tie taken before the altar, stripped, tied to stakes, and as the sun went down in the west, we were to be burned alive —an offering to their deity. Remonstrance was useless, so it was not even attempted. As silently as our doom was told, we walked behind our guards to the place of execution. Six stakes had been driven into the ground, one for each of us, and a party of boys and women were returning from the village bearing bundles of faggots which were to light us with their flames upon oar last jour - ney. In the same awful silence, first one after another of our party was stripped of his jacket and shirt, led to his stake and se curely fastened with his arms tied behind him, there to stand until the setting sun told the hour of his death. A rather long day ahead of us. I thought, and yet how terribly short! I was the last to be stripped. As the chief cut away my sleeve tho picture on my ami was exposed. I had almost forgotten it years ago. The moment he saw it he gave a sudden start of surprise, his cheek paled, and he. fell to the ground at my feet. Then he rose on his knees and lifted up his hands to me as the figure on my arm did to the setting sun. W hen he had finished his adoration he motioned the men of his trilie to approach. They did so. and on seeing my arm likewise fell on their faces find wor shiped me. This was followed by another consultation. I was reclothod in my gar ments. My limbs were untied nnd I was lead away irom the altar, given my horse and gun, and iuformed by signs that I was free. “Free to save my life and desert my com rados. No. 1 preferred death to that dis honor. So 1 mode signs that I would not leave unless they left, too. This was denied. Then an idea occurred to me. 1 would give my arm for their lives. Pointing to that s i red member, I motioned that I would have it cut oIT nod leave that with them in return for my comrades’ lives. Another consultation was hold, and this time my prayer was granted. A moment Inter I was lying oil my back and the duel was hacking away at the arm with a dull Unite. "I don’t know how many weeks it was be)ore 1 regained my consciousness, hut I was lying in tiie large house on a lied of wildcat and mountain lion skins. My arm was almost well, and I was MiiTOuirlixi by my friends, who were (veil and us happy as prisoners could be under the circumstances. It only took a few weeks for me to get back my strength, and at la.-t the day was sot for our departure. It was sunn- . We were led out ol the house, placed.on our horses, given swords, but no other weapons, and conducted away from tiie village. As we passe.i the sun altar our alle:n:ou was di rected to a singular object which stood erect aoove the blazing fire, winch had not been extinguished, so I learned, in over I,<HK| years. This object was my arm. It had oeeii preserved so that its color was ns life like as when it filled my sleeve. The blue picture faced the plaza, and as the sun shone over the mountain lop the people prostrated themselves before the token in mute adora tion. We had seen enough. We rode silently away, and as the two chit's closed behind us and we wore once more tree, they were still kneeling." "1 should think it would lie a painful sub ject for you to speak of,” observed Miss Josie, after the Major had finished. “It is, my dear,” responded the Major, “and on that account I have never told that story before.” “Ah! Wiiat story do you usually tell?” The Major made ho resjiouse. A Negro to Repreuent Georgia. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 23. — Georgia and Houtii Carolina will 1* represented by a negro, Peter H.

A Bewildering Chinese Pageant in the fctreeta of San Francisco. Ran Francisco, Cal., Sept. 20 China town for two days has presen led the largest processions ever given here bv the Celes l ials. They were in honor of Tong Wong, the presiding Joss of tiie rich Yiong Wo Cos. Many costumes and banners were imported from China, anti the great fish dragon, the chief feature of the parade on Saturday, cost $2,000 and was the latmr of months. Tiie street.- of Chinatown were hung with larmiers. The store fronts were freshly painted with vermilion, and the narrow alleys were converted into covered lanes by flags and oriental cloths stretched across them. The advance guard of the parade was composed of three damsels seated on pal freys, tmsir silk rob; s reaching nearly to the ground. They were followed by menibera of the company in handsome uniforms of blue, then another detachment all ill yel low, alt armed with swords and spears and carrying banners twenty feet in height. Then came a tinsel pavilion with little fig urea rnnnixg around the balconies, followed by more members of the company on horse back. and another troop of ten damsels on palfreys, and five wagons filled with young men and maidens, each strapped to a |iost. These heralded the Joss, who sat in a mighty chair under a carved ebony pagoda. Tong Wong was a mild-looking deity’, with a long moustache, but he was treated with great reverence and borne along by twelve men, and between each detachment came a band of musicians, who rent the air with dis cordant music of gongs, cymbals and ear piercing one stringed fiddles. Immediately after the joss came in guar dian spirit the great llsh dragon, whose head was carried on the top of a pole ten feet high, and whose spangled and furred body, trailing behind like a sea serpent for 175 feet, was supported by sixty worship ers, robed in pink and white. The mon ster has three eyes, one a foot in diameter that stands out irom bis forehead, and one on each side. Horns covered with silver and several yards long, are as numerous as the quills of a porcupine. The gaping jaws opened at intervals, revealing a hungry red mouth, and a huge tongue that rolls about in a threatening fashion. The long tail of the monster kept moving up and down to the right and left. After the great dragon there came a lesser fish, with a head like that of a rock cod, all mouth, with two eyes that had an ugly fashion of winking, with a body of waving silk that was kept in motion by four or five experts, a number of priests with fans, banners and pavilions, and then could be heard the sound of mar tial music—a ponderous kettle drum that, it took two men to carry, assisted by a clash ing of cymbals. This introduced tho rear guard, a battalion of soldicra dressed in the different shades of blue, with yellow, howl-shaped hats and red plumes. These constitut'd an actual repre sentation of the army of the empire. Basket and wooden shields painted with horrible dragons and hissing lions formed their means of defense. \V ith steel-capped spears, many pronged like quaint forks, comprised their means of attack. A light blue banner that floated in the air as large as the jib of the Volunteer, brought to an end the most wonderful pageant that ever graced the streets of Ran Francisco. The parade was witnessed by thousands of white people, and was repeated yesterday, when the exer cises in honor of the Joss came to an end. Gkorop: W.
