V HUFFS BILL SENT BACK. HK POURS ANOTHER VOLLEY OF HOT SHOT INTO HIS FOES. Young Members Taunted With Being Afraid of Senator Brown- Senator James Denies That the Committee Over-Indulged in Whisky and Cham pagne as Charged by Mr. Huff. At i. a vta. Oct. fi.—ln the Senate to-day Mr Janies arose to a ques tion of personal privilege and said: “I find in yesterday's Journal that Mr. Huff while speaking on the penitentiary bill in the House said that ‘the last committee that went to the Dade c>iai mines had one end of the coach filled with whisky and champagne and the other end with cigars, and that one member of the committee got maudlin drunk and fell out o■' his bunk Now you can imagaine wiiat kind of a report a com mittee like this would get up. As chair man of that committee I desire to •tate that as far as I am individually concerned, I did not drink anybody’s whisky or champagne, or smoke anybody’s cigars, and I desire to say. in behalf of the committee, tiiat the attack made on them is unjust and untrue. They discharged their full duty, and were not in fluenced by anybody or by any means ex cept as they were in honor bound by their oaths. By reference to the report made at the last session, it will lie found that they made a thorough, complete and careful examination. “The gentleman from Bibb, in his zeal to improve the penitentiary system, should be careful not to cast unjust reflections on members who have discharged their full dutv.” Mr. Davidson introduced a bill to amend the act to create a board of assessors for Richmond county, so as to allow compensa tion to the secretary not to exceed $3 per day. The bill was referred to the Commit tee on Corporations. BILLS PASSED. The following bills passed: To incorporate the Columbus and Buena Vista railroad. To remove the civil disabilities of William Ammons, a minor. The House bill to authorize the commit ment of juvenile offenders and others to tiie House of Refuge for the reformation of juvenile offenders in Fulton county, and to prescribe and regulate such commitment. To authorize the trustees of the Elbert County Male Academy to sell the property belonging to said academy. To provide for the appointment of a special board of visitors to the University of Georgia. To amend section 4SBti of the Code of 1882. relating to the forfeiture of charters of banks, so as to make the terms of said section apply to any corporation created by the laws of this State. To amend the charter of the city of Griffin. To incorporate the Commercial Bank of Albany. To incorporate the Marietta Bank. To authorize the City Council of Fort Gaines to build or purchase a bridge across the Chattahoochee, and to issue bonds for that purpose. To relieve R. M. Tyson, former Tax Col lector of Glynn county. To provide for the registration of the voters of Irwin county. To incorporate the town of Chokee, Lee county. To prevent the running at large of stock in the 74&1 militia district of Taylor county. To amend the registration act as applied to Oglethorpe county. To incorporate the Marietta Insurance Company. To amend the game law as applicable to Fulton county so as to allow the killing of game between November and April, in stead of October and April, as heretofore. To prevent any person from interfering with another engaged in anv lavvTul occupa tion, and to make the same punishable as prescribed m section 4310 of the Code. To incorporate the Savannah and West era Railroad Company. In the House. In the House to-day the Huff bill for a permanent penitentiary was again taken up. Hr. Huff tnen offered another amendment providing that the provision- of the bill snail not go into effect until voted upon and ratified by the people of Georgia. He wanted the )>eople to say whether they desired a change in the system, and felt satisfied that it would be perfectly safe to leave the ques tion to them. He afterward withdrew his amendment. Mr. Harrison moved that the committee report the bill back, with a recommendation that it do not pass. Mr. Terrell, of Meriwether, moved as a substitute that the bill be reported favor ably. The motion of Mr. Terrell was lost and the one of Mr. Harrison was adopted by a vote of <>7 to 57. f The bill vas then reported unfavorably and read for the third time. The amendment offered bv the committee to require the lessees to house and confine white and colored convicts separately was adopted. Mr. Henry, of Chattooga, offered an amendment to the twenty-seventh section to strike out tlie word “felony” and insert “mtsd. meaner,” and strike out "one to five J ears” and insert “punishable under section 4310 of tlie Cole.” This was lost. Mr. Berner, of Monroe, called the pre vious question on the bill, which was sus tained by a vote of 73 to 511. MR. HIKE’S PAKTIXfi VOLLEY. Under the rule. Mr. Huff concluded the debate in a twenty-minute i speech. Mr. Huff said that lie had said nothing that he wished to take back. If he had it to say again he would say it a hundred t imes stronger. "H hen l made the proposition to put the question to the people, 1 could see young men crawling under their desks. '1 buy ore afraid of Joe Brown and his gang. 1 eall the present system an infamous sys tem, and 1 mean every word I say. Those young men, who were ill their swaddling clothes when this infamous swindling sys tem was put on the State, are here to-day bowing their heads to Joe Brown and his nefarious gang of money-changers. Some of them want to be Solicitors and the others want to go to Congress. 1 hope that they will get left, and I believe that they will.” Mr. West, of Habersham, stated that he hail voted against the bill and did it from honest motives. He objected to the lan guage used. Mr. Huff said Dial no gentleman can feel hurt if the cap does not tit him. He said that some men denied that Joe Brown in flue need them, when it was known that they were skirmishing around with free tickets in their pockets, riding on Joe Brown’s champagne excursions. Some of the gentlemen don’t understand me, and don’t want to understand me. BOUND TO BE HEARD, lie had H|ient his time and his money- get ting up evidence, and if the legislature would not let him l>e heard in the House, they would hear from him on the outside. He asked t hem to alio.r his Dill to go to the people and they refused him. Are they afraid of the people? It looked as though they were. lie uared them to submit the question to the people. They even re fused t put certain restrictions specified in his bill about the system. Even the gentle man from Quitman, (Mr. Harrison) who had fought the bill in and out of the com mittee favored some of the sections, but t lie House was opposed to considering them. This was not his bill. It was u bill favora bly re polled by every member of the com mittee. i On motion of Mr. Harrison, of Quittnan, the bill and pending amendments was re committed. At the afternoon session bills were put on third reading The bill to provide and make certain the fees of clerks of Superior or City Courts passed. The bill to probibit the running of excur- | sion trains or excursion boats on Sunday 1 passed. The bill providing for tho payment of . bond 343 of the State of Georgia passed.

Young Hawkins Says She Spoke Slightingly of His Betrothed. Prom the New York World. The following is the confession of young Franklin Ashbury Hawkins, of Islip, L. 1., who shot and killed his mother, Mrs. Cyn thiana Hawkins, near that place .Saturday night: Hard feelings hail grown up between myself and my mother because of her interference be tween myself anil Miss Hattie Mhreek. to whom 1 was engaged to be married, and whom 1 in tended to marry last Sunday, loist Wednesday 1 hired a horse and drove down to my mother's house, fully intending to either settle the diffi culty or get her out of the way She was not alone and 1 could not get her away, so I drove back home. 1 was nearly crazy! and could neither eat nor sleep. I felt that my inotie r stood in the way of my liajqiiuess, an.i I made up my non,l to remove the obstacle. Saturday night 1 Hired a horse and started for the house. It was about 10 o'clock. I told mother that 1 wanted tier to go out with me where we could talk over the trouble between us. I don’t know that 1 iiad lully determined to kill her if she did not consent to the marriage, but i was des perate. After talking a little while we both became excited, and mother applied a Tile epithet to inv intended, and in a rage 1 shot her in the rigid temple. We were then in front of my aunt's lions*', Mrs Emma Smith's. She laid back in the corner of the wagon and groaned. 1 drove back to Bayshore. Mother was alive when we got there, and 1 stmt her again in the head. I was frenzied. I drove north on the Brentwood road, and occasionally mother g:ts]ssl. and I knew slie was not dead, so just alter crossing the railroad track 1 shot her a third time, a <L stopping the wagon, dragged her out au i ieii her in the bushes waere slid was found. Id ove back through the village and went to Babylon, where 1 stopjied nt I’enuey's saloon, bought a cigar and started liaek for Bayshore, where 1 arrived shortly after 11 o’doek. 1 walked up and down my room all night. 1 persuaded myself that I had only done my duty, but it was horrible. 1 was lobe married Sunday at II o'clock, at Eaton's Veck. At 0, o cl x*k 1 took a liorse atid the same wagon I tnul the night before and stalled. I couldn't keep the thoughts of mother out of my mldri i.i driv ing through the woods. It was so lonesome i could hardly stay in the wagon 1 lashed the horse and ran him for miles. I thought I could hear mother s voice. Ginncmg down in the wagon 1 saw a pool of blood had collected in the bottom of it. mid I got out and traced it where the blood had run out uni over Ihe axle. 1 hardly dared to get into the wagon. T left the horse at a long distance, the i l got in and drove to Xortbport from there, alter washing the wagon, 1 went to the house where I was to have been married. It wus early. Guests were there 1 couldn't keep still, i finally made an excuse that l hid torg.i-bm soinetaiai. and. telling Hattie that I would return surely at 4 o'clock, drove to Babylon, waere i took dinner at Slier man Tweedy's. From there I drove to Bayshore. I couldn't help going hack, 1 wanted to run away, but I couldn't When I got back towns arrested, and for a spell 1 felt relieved lam sorry now that 1 did it. I have been crazy. 1 deserve the severest punishment. It will be a living death If my life is spared. What I tell you is the truth Lung Troubles and Wastingr diseases can be cured, if properly treated in time, os shown by the following statement front I). C. Freeman, Sydney: “Having been a great sufferer from pulmonary at tacks, and gradually wasting away for the past two years, it affords me pleasure to testify that Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Lime and Soda has given nte great relief, and I cheerfully*l'eeoiumend it to all suffering pi a similar way to myself. In addition, 1 would say that it is very pleas ant to take ” CHANGE THE MERIDIAN. Another Change Advocated in Savan nah's Time Schedule. Editor Mornimj Sews: Complaint is made, and justly so, by the railroads and the, public of the confusion, and loss resulting from the use of a double time standard in Savannah. Tlie railroad offi cials blame the city for keeping local time, and argue tiiat if standard tim** had beon sufficiently tried, the public would have bo come accustomed to the change. This is doubtful. Certainly, during the period that standard time 'was given a trial, in many nianufacturies. and more households it was found impossible to get the laborers and servants to come at the proper time. Being accustomed all their lives to begin work at 7 o’clock, they would be just so much later as the clocks were put back. The thirty-six minutes were lost, and never made up. The city can not accept central standard time without inconvenience and loss. It seems to me that the fault and the remedy lie with the railroads. Savannah lias been hardly treated by them. Accord ing to the rules upon which standard time is based, no place should be required to change its time more than thirty minutes. An exe ption to this rule provides tiiat trunk lines of railroads shall make the change from one standard time to another at their termini, rather than in their con tinuity. Under this exception Savannah is asked by the railroads to put her clocks back thirty-six minutes. This is a change six minutes too great, and what is worse, in the wrong direction. According to her position in longitude Savannah is entitled to set her clocks turnty.four minutes ahead and have Eastern time. Had this been done all difficulty would have been avoided. Charleston, only four minutes east of us, put her clocks twenty minutes ahead, and every one cheerfully accepted the change. How wou'd the adop tion of Eastern time affect the railroads? The At lantie Coast Line changes from Eastern to Central standard time at the junction near Charleston This is a change in continuity, and could be done equally well at the junction near Savan nah. Tlie Central railroad now runs its great ocean steamship line by Eastern time, and if it must run its trains by central standard time, let it do so. It could quote the departure aud arrival of trains at Sa vannah ill Eastern time , and if this would not work successfully, it would at least lie much easier to allow for the whole hour’s difference between Eastern and central standard, than the confusing thirty-six minutes between local and standard time. Let the city and railroad officials confer and give us Eastern time, and a grateful public will appreciate the same. 4V. H. Elliott. Weather Indications.
