2 END OF THE LEGISLATURE THE MEMBERS MAKE A RUSH FOR THE OUTGOING TRAINS. President Davidson of toe Senate and the Two Speakers of the House Pre sented with Valuable Souvenirs The Routine Work of the Last Day in the Two Houses. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20.—1n the Senate this morning Mr. Brantley introduced a resolution authorizing the Speaker of the H use and President of the Senate to re main over four days alter the close of the session to sign bills, and also a resolution au thorizing the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House, and certain members of the House and Senate, to remain over to attend to unfinished business. The resolu tions were agreed to. The resolution authorizing the payment of the last semi-annual interest on certain bonds of the State was adopted. The following bills were passed: To incorporate the Blue Ridge and At lantic Railroad company To incorporate tlie Planters’ Bank of Ellaville. To establish public schools iu the town of Washington. Providing registration laws for Dodge county. The" bill relating to the Marietta and North Georgia Railroad Company was, on motion of Mr. Butt, taken up and con sidered. Mr. Northcutt advocated the bill in a strong speech. In reply to Mr. Lewis’ charge that the measure passed last session was obtained by fraud, lie asked Mr. Lewis if he would charge the honored President of the Senate with engaging in fraudulent scehemes for Gov. McDaniel. Mr. North cutt offered a substitute which provided that the whole question lie submitted to the Governor and Attorney General. Mr. Hand, of the Eighth district, offered an amendment providing that the Treasurer lie prohibited from turning over any of tho bonds of the road until the question had been fully settled. Mr. Lewis opposed tho bill and the substi tute offered by Mr. Northcutt. the charge reiterated. Mr. Butt, in regard to what Mr. North cutt had said about the measure being passed by fraud, as charged by Mr. Lewis, said he would reiterate what Mr. Lewis had said, and that the act of 1885 was obtained by fraudulent representations, and that the persons concerned in this road hail for years been dogging the legislature about this matter. Mr. Lewis offered a substitute referring the matter to the next Legislature. Ho spoke at some lepgth iu support of his sub stitute. Mr. Butt said that it wan reflection on a member who had ute’. for the bill to have it repealed. The trgtL' is, tliul half we have done ought to lie repealed. Mr. Brantley said the question now be fore the Legislature was whether or not the Legislature had a right to pass the bill now before the Senate. He said that the au thority and power of one Legislature was not superior to that of another, and that the present Legislature had no right to repudiate the action taken by the last legislature in regard to the contract l>e tween the State and the Marietta and North Georgia railroad. He said that the charge of fraud was without foundation, and Mr. Butt lias failed to bring forth any evidence to sustain his assertion, and that the only thing left for the Senator from the Twenty fourth district was to charge the individual members with fraud, and that he would not dare do. Mr. Powell called the previous question and the call was sustained. On Mr. Northcutt’s amendment the yeas were 21 and the nays 15. On the passage of the bill the yeas were 30. THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEORGIA GRA NT. The Senate passed a substitute for the House bill repealing the grant made to the North Georgia railroad under a resolution of 1885 for bonds amounting to $1)8.000. The substitute refers the whine matter to tlie Governor, and authorizes him—first, to ascertain if vested contract rights have ac crued to the Marietta and North Georgia railroad under said resolution, and if not, then to investigate and ascertain if the facts upon which the resolution claims to have been passed and tlie laws under which tlie railroad claims equities, and to settle three claims, if any, to the amount of the bonds; and if not well founded to proceed in collecting the bonds. The House amended this substitute by add ing “that if the Governor ascertains that he has no constitutional authority over tho subject matter, to hold the bonds until the convening of the session of the next (ten era 1 Assembly.” The Senate concurred in this amendment. In the House. The House was oalle 1 to order at 8 o’clock this morning. Several bills, local in their character, with Senate amendments, were taken up and the amendments concurred in. Tho bill by Mr. Northcutt, Senator from the Thirty-tilth District, to incor|>orate the Georgia Title, Insurance, Trust and Guar anty Company, was lost. The bill to amend section 4595 so as to make said section apply to a tenant, laborer or cropper using anil making t'ulso and fraudulent promises to obtain advances in money or other things, thereby cheating and defrauding any person, was lost. The resolution of Mr. Bray, of Fulton, providing for the payment of $lO extra to the porters of tho Executive and Treas ury Departments and the Commissioners of Education and Comptrol.er General, per month, was referred to the Finance Com mittee. The House took up for consideration the joint resolution directing the Governor to transmit to the Librarian of the Georgia Methodist Historical Society full sets of the journal of both branches of the Legislature and the acts of the same, so far as this may be done without breaking the set preserved for the use of the State, and also any copies of public documents printed by the State for distribution. Some opposition was de veloped to the resolution on the ground thut it would open a way to the general public to muk use of all of the records of the State. The.rcsoiution was passed. LIQUOR LICENSES. The Senate bill to amend section 1419 of the Code, m as to change the manner of granting license to sell liquor in country districts, was read. Mr. Perry, of Gilmer, offered an amendment providing that the provisions of the bill shall not apply to coun ties that hare not adopted the prohibition law or may hereafter refuse to adopt the local option law. Mr. Tate, of Pickens, opposed the bill. It was not in the interest of prohibition. The effect of the passage of the bill would be rather to increase the sale than to decrease it The amendment was lost and the bill was also lost. The Joint Committee of Conference on the Savannah and Western railroad made a report recommending that the House re cede from its amendment, which recommen dation was adopted. Tho bill providing for the levy and sale of personalty when the title is retained in Vendors. Passed. The bill amending the act prohibiting the sale of liquor in Wilkins county, passed.

The bill to provide for replacing lost or mutilated records from any copy that may be in existence, fame up. Mr. Howell, of Fulton, explained the objects of the bill. W hile it refers to Fulton county, it was a general bill, as the object desired could not be reached in any other way. Mr. Berner, of Monroe, favored the bill. It would be a good one in the event of any county losing its records by a court house being burned or the books stolen. The bill was then passed. In the House this afternoon the following hills passed: Amending the practice in equity as to pre venting injunctions. Incorporating the Dupont, Decatur and Florida railroad. Amending section 1480 of the Code. The bill to establish a dispensary in pro hibition counties was tabled.

Those pres ents wore made by members of the House. President Davidson was presented with a silver swinging pitcher stand and goblets. ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE. At 9:30 o'clock to-night the Georgia Legis lature adjourned after a great struggle. The people have been waiting for this for months. The Solons have been in session since July 6, and if they have accomplished anything of importance the News corre spondent and the'public at large have failed to perceive it. At the hour of adjournment to-night Speaker Little and President David son rose in their places and made the usual closing addresses. They were both sorry that they had to part with the members, and they congratulated them on the signal service they- had rendered the State. Both branches of the General Assembly held short sessions to-night and wound up the affairs of the session. The galleries were pretty well filled with people, who repre sented the mass of those who were sorry that, the crowd had stayed so long, and especially sorry- that they had no more to show for it. To-night the members are rushing for trains, and the trains are crowded out with people who are leaving from the exposition. Large numbers of them will have to stay over. The session was of 107 days’ duration. COL. W. B. JOHNSTON DEAD. A Sketch of His Successful Career In the World of Finance. Macon, Ga., Oct. 20.— C01. William B. Johnston died to-day at noon, at his resi dence in this city. He had been in ill health for some time, and while the public will not be surprised at his death, the sad event fills them with regret and Borrow. He began failing rapidly months ago, and this past summer went to Wisconsin and Virginia in the liopo of improving his health, but not much improvement resulted, and since bis return to Macon, his condition has gradual ly weakened. There was no man in the city- better known than he was. He was one of Macon’s most wealthy, aged and respected citizens. He was about 78 years old, and was recog nized as a great and successful financier. He lias occupied many positions of financial trfist and has been connected with various business enterprises. He was at one time President of the Central railroad, and owned a large amount of the stock of that road and was many years a director. He was one of the original lessees of the rstate road and also a director at the time of his death. He was also President of the Cotton Btate Life Insurance Company, and one of the priueipal directors and owners of the Macon Gaslight Company. He owned considerable real estate in Macon, his residence being one of the most beautiful and magnificent in the South. He also owned largo railroad, coal anl mining interests, bonds and bank stocks. When the treasury of the Southern Confederacy established a depository here, Mr. Johnston was appointed the premier in control of its operations. At one time there was $1,500,000 in gold under the protection of this institution. This depository took the highest rank of any similar office out side of Richmond. The Macon depository counted and took up $15,000,000 in seven days in the mouth of February, 1804, dur ing the funding of the first issue of Con federate bonds. Mr. Johnston discharged his trust ably and faithfully. Mr. Johnston was lx nil in Putnam county, Georgia, Nov. 19, 1809, but he moved to Macon lie fore the war. He leaves a wife and two daughters. A RACE AFTER A CONVICT. Pursued and Pursuer Mounted and Exchanging Shots as They Rode. Augusta, Oa., Oct. 20. —An escaped con vict gave tho people of Hamburg a lively and exciting chase this afternoon, but was at last captured by Tom Butler. About six weeks ago four desperate negro convicts at the Augusta and Chattanooga railroad camp made a bold and successful attempt to es eape. One was to-day recognized at Harris burg by Marsha) Johnson, who gave pursuit. The negro tied and fired back at the Mar shal while running. In passing a black smith shop he espied a horse belonging to Harrison Butler, which he quickly mounted, dashing olf at full speed. Tom Butler, hearing the firing, dashed up on horseback and gave pursuit. Mile after mile dashed pursuer and pursued, every now and then exchanging shots. Butler gained perceptibly, and the negro seeing this, changed his course toward tho river, upon reaching which he dove from tile high bluff and swam for the Georgia shore. Butler quickly jumped in a tlsherman's boat and continued the chase, capturing the fugitive in the middle of the river. The negro is now in jail here. The convict’s pistol was snapped at Butler many times, while the latter dauntlessly approached in Ills boat, and, but for the fact that his pistol was empty, or tho powder wet, there might have been a tragic termination to the affair. A Gale Off Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 20.—The Ameri can schooner Sarah F. Bii and, of Rockland, Mu., lies dismantled and Hunk outside, be tween Pensacola and Perdido Bays. She was bound from Galveston to Pensacola for a cargo. No lives were lost. She went ashore last night during the gale.

H. Marvins, as receiver of the First National Bank of Buffalo, against El bridge Spaulding et. al., advanced on the docket and set down for argument at an early day. This case in volves the responsibility of the directors of national banks for negligence, anil the Treasury officials regard it as an exceedingly important question to be speedily decided. Dry Goods Jobbers Assign. Portland, Me., Oct. 20.—The extensive jobbing dry gooos house of Woodman, True & Cos., suspended payment to-day and made an assignment to Hiram Knowlton and Alfred Woodman.

Washington, Oct. 20.—Tho St. Louis- Detroit combination, now playing for the world’s championship, arrived in this city this morning from Philadelphia, to play the tenth game of the series. They met a heavy rain, however, which rendered the grounds unfit for play, and the game was postponed until to-morrow.

High Tides Do but Little Damage- The Mac Williams Case. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20. —Supt. j Hayden of the Jacksonville and Atlantic | railroad says the recent high tides have ; done little harm at Pablo-by-the-Sea. At Daytona, however, the tide flooded the streets, and considerable damage was done by the water. The water in the St. John’s is now so high that it is feured that if the storm now impending comes here much damage will be done. The Coroner’s jury in the Mac Williams case adjourned to-night, till Saturday morn ing. So the testimony could be written up as two jurors said they must read it all. It was somewhat conflicting to-day as the facts given seemed to indicate that Mac Williams was sober, and had started home at 10 o’clock that night. Opinions vary greatly, and the excitement is kept at fever heat by the idea that some thing is concealed yet. Samuel Houston, William W. Thomas and J. S. Williams, the three principal eye wit nesses of the Mac Williams tragedy, were arrested at 11:30 o’clock to-night on affi davit of William A. Mac Williams, son of the deceased, charging them with being accessories to the murder of his father. The prisoners were taken before a magistrate and released on Juck Powell and John Q. 'Walker tiecoining responsible for their appearance in the morning. As the charge is murder, and Walker is Bangs’ attorney, the action of the Sheriff is severe ly criticised by- those aware of the facts, 'fhe prisoners say their arrest was caused to influence the verdict of the coroner’s jury, while Mr. Pope claims to have good evidence to justify the action. Their arrest intensi fies the interest in the case. Maj. Comint, has just returnod from the Passenger Agents’Convention in New York. He says round trip tickets from Chicago to Florida will bo sold at $39. SHANTIES ABLAZE. Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 21, 2 a. m.— An alarm of fire lias just been turned in.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 20.—With very- few exceptions, the delegates to the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor have returned to their homes. Secretary Charles H. Litchman, with a party of general officers and prominent Knights, left by a spocial car for Chicago this evening, and were among the last to go. It has been understood that Mr. Powderly would remain in the city several days, but important business calls him to Milwaukee, and he loft to-night. The mem bers of the cripple! co-operative board held a brief session at the West Hotel to-day, and completed what routine work there was before them. The board resolved to pre sent a written communication to the Gen eral Executive Board, asking for the $40,000 appropViated bv the Richmond convention for the use of the board, which was done. It is understood that the request will not be granted. No provision was made for this important branch of the order ut all. The assembly, in fact, killed the usefulness of the board, for the coining year at least, by taking away the only source of revenue it had, voting that it be not compulsory on the part of assemblies to pay their assess ments to maintain the board. This leaves the board just where it was before tho Rich mond convention. J. P. McGaugheyv Sec retary of the board, said to day thut the board would not be able to do anything the coming year.
