2 GEORGIA’S CAPITAL CITY. THE COLORED UNIVERSITY NOT APT TO GET THE SB,OOO. An Adverse Report From the Com mittee That Examined the Alleged Compliance With the Laws-The Attorney General Renders a Decision as to the Rights of Disabled Veterans. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. o.—The Governor is in receipt of a communication signed by Chancel or Mell, L. A. Charbonnier and William Rutherford, the commission to examine the plan of expenditure proposed by the Atlanta University of State appro priation of SB,OOO, stating that they bad re turned the plan unapproved, for the reason wired the News last night that the Univer sity failed to comply with the resolution of the last Legislature. In regard to the mat ter Prof C. W. Francis, of lie Atlanta University, said to a Journal reporter to day: ‘’While we are averse to appearing in newspaper controversies, I will say that the University sent in its application for money this year, as it has done for the past fifteen years, and the ap plication was returned to us and we received no money. There are two sides to this ques tion, and wo are bound to respect them. This university is under obligations to the government of the United Sta tes for cer tain things, and among them we must not exclude persons on account of their color. We have $60,000 which we are under obli gations to the government for, and if wo adopt the plan proposed by the Legislature of Georgia we might run a very severe risk.” “Will the university make another appli cation in conformity to the requirements of the Georgia law?" • “That I can’t say. We have to be very careful, and could not answer or give any indication at all until after we consult over the matter. As I said before, there are two sides to this question.” DISABLED VETERANS. It appears now that the disabled veterans who will apply for allowance under the recent act will number several thousand. There has been some trouble to determine who are entitled to aid under the act and for the benefit of all applicants the Governor sub mitted the case to the Attorney General for an opinion which would cover it. The At torney General submitted the following opinion to-day, to which the attention of all disabled veterans is called. “I have examined the application of Philip Waters, of Schley county under the act of the last Legislature making appro priations for disabled soldiers referred to me by your direction. It appears that he has been paid under previous laws for the loss of his left leg and is not entitled to any further payment until Sept. 26,1889, unless the last act entitled him to claim a further allow ance because of the incidental effects of the amputation of his leg on other members of his body. He claims that the amputation of his left leg produced a nervous disease which has caused him to lose the use of his l ight arm, right leg and light side. The late act provides in general terms for three classes of persons who lost a limb or limbs while in the military service. For persons who received wounds, which afterwards caused the loss of a limb, or limbs, and for jiersons who ‘may have been permanently injured while in said service.’ It then makes special pro vision for ‘the total loss of sight,’ for ‘the loss of one eye,’ for ‘the total or partial loss of hearing whereby the applicaut is per manently disabled from the ordinary pur suits of life,’ for ‘the loss of a leg above the knee,’ for ‘the loss of a leg bolow thh knee,’ for ’the loss of an arm above the elbow,’ for ‘permanent injury from wounds whereby a leg or arm is rendered substantially and essentially useless, and from permanent injury to any part of the hod v not before mentioned whereby the per son injured has been rendered permanently and practically incompetent for the per formance of the ordinary manual avoca tions of life.’ A jierson who has suffered the total loss of sight is usually incompetent for the performance of the ordinary avoca tions of life, but such person nevertheless is only entitled to the amount allowed for total loss of sight So a person who has lost a limb or limbs is only entitled to the amount or amounts allowed tor the loss of such limb or limbs, and not for the addi tional effects of such loss. In a word, the last two classifications are intended to cover cases not falling within the preceding spe cial classifications; for instance, a (jerson inay have not lost a limb, but may have been so badly wounded in one cf bis limbs as to render it useless. So also a ;>erson may neither have lost the use of any particular limb, but he may have received such perma nent injury to some other part of his body as to render him incompetent for the performance of the ordinary manual avocations of life. I would be gratified to he able to take a different view of the matter, as I have no doubt the appli cant is needy and deserving, like thou sands of wounded and disabled Georgia sol diers who suffered from the late war. But the law makes no other provision for the present f>: Mr. Waters than what he has received. Doubtless the State will make better provisions for our disabled veterans when the condition of the people justifies it.” INSURANCE MEN FIGHT. Harry (.'. Stockdell, General Agent of the Phoenix Insurance Company, and Humph reys Castleman, a bond and stock broker, and agent of the Royal Insurance Com pany, iiad a personal difficulty this morning, which resulted in Cattleman's giving Stoek dell a black eye, while Castleman lost a bunch of his whiskers. Before further damage could lie done thepolice sojiarated the belligerents. The difficulty is said to have origin in the fact that a short time ago Castleman applied to the Capital City Club for admission as a member and was rejected by the Governing Committee, of which Stockdell is a member, and that Castleman is of the opinion that for per sonal reasons Stockdell was the cause of his not getting in. Sheriff Black, of Clay county, Florida, and J. R. Parrott, attorney of the Jackson ville, Tampa and Key West railroad, with a requisition from Gov. Perry for Ford 8. Perkins and U. J. Medices, the two men charged with burglarizing a railroad office in Florida a short time ago and stealing u quantity of tickets, were here to-day. The requisition was honored and Gov. Gordon issued an order for the delivery of the men to Messrs. Black and Parrott. They were taken from their cell at the police headquar ters, where they have been confined since their arrest, and delivered to tho proper authorities, who left with them for Clay county to-night. The receipts at the State Treasury to-day for taxes were $60,907. It was reported on the streets to-night that State School Commissioner Orr was dead. He is not dead at this hour, but is unconscious nml is not expected to live through the night. TROUBLE IN A SCHOOL. The Boys Ivy Street School gave the Principal a rough time to-day. The Prin cipal is himself in charge or the highest grade. For some time there has been con siderable friction in the school, but without an open revolt. To-day, however, tilings came to a head when Mr. Kinnebrew called up Charles Goldsmith, son of l)r. W. T. Goldsmith, and began flogging him. The other boys thought he laid on too heavily, and the larger ones went boldly to the res cue. An exciting scene folio wed, and tho colored janitor advised the professor to dis miss the school. The advice was acted upon and the boys were s'sin in the streets discussing tile situation. Presently Mr. Kinnebrew made his appear ance in the yard and a crowd of boys at tacked him with sticks and rocks. The pro fessor retreated down the street. The boys followed, and the professor ran until he reached the residence of Robert Pause, when he leapied over a back fence and escaped his The whole school, including the grades down stairs, bad been greatly disturbed, and somebody tele phoned to the station house for a policeman. Patrolman Greene responded, and he was told that the lioys had assaulted Prof. Kinnebrew with knives as well as sticks and rocks. No arrests were made. There is a difference of opinion as to who was to blame. One of the lady teachers thinks Mr. Kinnebrew deserved all he got. It is said that there has been much disorder at the Ivy Street school for some weeks past. Superintend ent Slaton will investigate the affair. Prof. Kinnebrew came from Athens, and brought the highest recommendations. WOOLFOLK’S TRIA L. An Expert Testifies lhat Stains Were Those of Blood. Macon, Ga,, Dec. 9. —The fifth day of the Woolfolk trial opened amid wind and rain. It has been a dreary dismal day, the rain falling incessantly. Dr. Clifton, an expert chemist and microscopist, was put on the stand by the State. He examined the stains on the clothing yesterday in the presence of the State’s Attorney and Dupont Guerry, and Attorney Walker, of the counsel for the defense. The examination consumed two hours and was exhaustive. Prof. Charles Line was also present. During the examination Attorney Walker punctured his hands with a knife until a drop of blood oozed out, which was put under the micro scope and compared with the stains ou the clothing. UNDOUBTEDLY BLOOD STAINS. Dr. Clifton testified that the stains were undoubtedly blood stains. The shape and appearance of the disks of the two bloods were identical being the niamilia, or verte bral class. Counsel Rutherford fired volley after volley of questions at the witness, but failed utterly to confuse him or shake his opinion. Following this interesting episode .a dis cussion arose over the introduction of Pen nington, the first witness for the defense, who wanted to testify to threats he had heat’d through a third party. The jury was s nit out, and a heated running discussion followed of all the points involved. RULED OUT. The court finally decided that Penning ton’s testimony was inadmissible. Judge Gustin then ordered the jury re turned, and called on the defense to proceed. A recess was asked for and granted, in order to allow a consultation between the prison er and his attorneys, who stated that they could not decide on a line of defense until they had consulted with Woolfolk. The con ference lasted some time. When it was con cluded, Mrs. Crane, an aunt of Woolfolk, was put on the stand to testify to his gener al good character. Pending her examination, the court ad journed until to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock. ________ FLORIDA'S METROPOLIS. Oranges Bring Good Prices at Auction —A Partnership Case. Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 9. —Eight hun dred and thirty-six boxes of oranges were sold this afternoon at the orange auction. Bright’s brought $2 15; golden russets, $1 35; russets, $1 20. Washington navels, $3 25; tangerines $7 25. Senator Mann es timates that three-flftns of the entiro crop has already been sold or eugaged. A motley crowd of white and colored peo ple gathered at the foot of Pine street to night to indorse the Democratic ticket. Of the speakers advertised only F. W. Pope and O. J. H. Summers spoke. Little en thusiasm was manifested and the meeting closed very early with the announcement that, another would be held there Monday night. As the election approaches feeling grows warmer, and the “political pot" is nowtsizzling worse than ever. No Northern mail was received here to day. Even the Savannah Morning News was missing, which occasioned a great deal of grumbling. O. N. Mitchell Post No. 4, Grand Army of the Republic, held a camp fire to-night in their quarters on Bay street. Rufus Saxon Camp No. 2, and ninny visiting com rades attended. Music and recitations were a feature of the occasion. Arthur F. Odlin, of Orlando, was ad mitted to the bar of the United States Court here to-day. Rev. Culpepper, who for the past few days has been holding a revival meeting at St. Pauls Methodist Episcopal church, preached his last sermon this morning. He left to-night for Macon, Ga., where lie will remain some time. Hon. Emory Speer, Judge of the United States Court, in Georgia has accepted an invitation to be in Jacksonville in February and deliver an address at the State Bar As sociations’ meeting. The opening day of the Sub-Tropical Ex position lias been "fixed for Thursday, Jan. 12, 1888. The programme of the day will be announced in due time, and special ex cursions will be run from all points to Jack sonville, and arrive in time for the opening. It is desired that all shall lie in complete order within that building by Saturday, Jan. 7, at the furthest. It is understood that, several prominent Georgia gentlemen will be invited to participate in the open ing ceremonies. The whole of the afternoon session of the United States District Court yesterday was occupied with consideration of the case of Wurtz, Biedler & Cos. vs. Hoover. Jones & Bowen. Articles of agreement between Hoover, Jones & Bowen had been drawn up, These articles were claimed by the plaintiffs to establish a partnership between the defendants, a view which the court, in his charge to the jury, sustained. After lieing out three-quarters of an hour, the jury found for the plaintiffs in the sum of $827 66. The main point raised in this suit was the legal meaning of a partner ship. A good deal was said this morning in regard to the action of Judge Pardee in this ease. Calling up one of the jurymen, when the testimony was all In, he notified him to act as foreman and to bring in a verdict for the plaintiff. The juryman demurred and said he and his associates preferred to retire first. The J udgo acceded to this, but reiterated his order to find a verdict for the plaintiff. The jurv retired, and on returning gave in tho verdict as directed, but under protest, as nearly all wero in favor of the defendant. No appeal is allowed in this court when the sum involved is less than $5,000, hence it must stand. The lawyers generally are discussing tho matter rather unfavorably and ask what is the use of a jury if the J udge arbitrarily decides. Mrs. H. H. Kennedy, wife of the pastor of St. Paul’s Methodist church, died this morning of spinal meningitis after two days illness. John G. Whittier, the poet, will be 80 years old on Dec. 17, and the pupils of the Jacksonville Graded school (colored) will send him a present this week as a token of their respect and love for him. State Attorney Owens, in reply to the question why so many of the license tax cases were nol pressed, said most of the par ties indicted had procured licenso or gone out of business, and also liecatise Judge Jones hod ruled that, shoe-makers, harness makers and tailors were exempt when they sold only such goods in their respective lines.

I lias been raining heavily for some lioura, and the Savannah is rushing seaward angrily. DON M. DICKINSON'S SPECIALTY. A Terror to Debtors Who Can Pay but are Determined Not to. From the Minsouri Republican. A Western Congressman who had just arrived in the city tells the following about Mr. Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan, who is looked upon as the coming Postmaster Gen eral: “Yes, I know Dickinson of Michigan very well. I have been in some railroad rases with him. He is chain lightning. Dickin son lias made the bulk of his fortune in the practice of one legal specialty. He is the best collector of bad debts on the face of the earth. Oh, no, I don’t mean small bad debts. This is the way of it. In the first place, there used to be a good many people with a bad habit, of failing every few years. They always owed large slims of inopoy to Eastern merchants and capitalists, and did not mean to pay a cent if they could help it. To this class Dickinson was and is a mortal terror. There is no device that the swind ling debtor can adopt that Dickinson cannot s *e through, and ho is as sharp on the trail as the best Parisian detective. Tho man who can pay and won’t is the fellow Dickinson likes to get hold of. “About ten years ago—to illustrate what I mean—there were three big failures in Detroit. Olio firm had the sympathy of everybody, but the others were rather un certain customers. The two doubtful con cerns each owed over $250,000 to New York and Boston people. Among other creditors was a New' England shoe manufacturer for a iarge linn. This concern quietly returned Dickinson as their‘counsel, and the largest other creditor did the same thing. ‘Don’t let them know' I am in tho case,’ said he as he left his clients. He went home. The agent of the New England firm came out to see the broken merchant lam talking about. He was a Germon Jew—generally good, re sponsible people, but when they are tricky, lookout! The usual tales were told of cus tomers who could not come to time and all that. It really looked like a bad case, and the Boston shoe concern was about to ac cept a settlement at 20c. on the dollar. “ ‘Don’t do it for a day or two, v said Dick inson. “Just how he was going to get the money out of his Israelitish customer he did not know, but he was sure there hud been some swindling. It happened that in his house hold there had been ail extremely pretty Irish girl living as domestic for many years. .She was faithful, neat and unusually intel ligent, and the household was very much at tached to her. About a year before this she had married a very industrious young coun tryman of her own, who was a thrifty young boss drayman. That evening after dinner Dickinson learned that Maggie’s hus band had broken his leg a week or two be fore. He went around to see the man “ ‘How did it happen, Pete?’ he asked. “ ‘Well, ye see, sir, I was on a bit of a job that —but, sir, the man told me, sir, that i must not toll.’ “ ‘Nonsense, you can tell me, can’t you?’ said Dickinson, and ‘Why not tell Mr. Dick inson, Peter?’ said the Irishman’s pretty wife. “So it came about that, two weeks before, late at night, Peter bad been draying goods from the rear end of a store. A neavy box had slipped and broke his leg. ‘‘ ‘But why did you say you must not tell ?’ said the lawyer. “ ‘l’m sure I don’t know, sir; that’s what Mr. Katzenyammer told me, sir,’ answered the man. “ ‘Katzenyammer; so you are working for him, eh!’ asked Dickinson. “He soon got out of the Irishman all he knew. “‘I see it, now,’ said ho to himself,.as he went home. “The next morning Mr. Katzenyammer was rather surprised to receive a call from the great lawyer. He had not sent for him, and was somewhat a little uneasy. “ ’I am the attorney for Messrs. Blank, of Boston,’ he began, very politely. ‘They have a claim against you of $47,977 80. What do you intend doing about it, Mr. Katzenyammer?’ “*Vy, I haf failt, you know, Mr. Dick shon; 1 don’t how much I can pay on de tollar.’ “ ‘You must pay this in full, or I will send you to the pemtentiany in less than a month,’said Dickinson, sternly. ‘You have been running your goods out of your store at nights and sending them to Chicago auc tion houses to be sold for whatever they would bring in cash, and you have filled up your books with false entries” ‘“Fader Abraham!’ screamed the other, as white as he could become; ‘how tit you fint dis out?’ “ ‘lt don’t matter how I know it all, and if you don’t settle now, to-day, I will have you arrested before to-morrow night. You are watched; you can’t get away; so don’t try it.’ And with that Dickinson left It happened that he had dropped on to what the man had been doing. How he guessed it he does not know himself. About 2 o’clack the man came around to see what terms ho could make. ‘None, sir, except 100 c. on the dollar,’ was the only reply. “In three flays the claim was paid in full. “It is just by such lightning strokes as that that Don Dickinson has made his for tune. If he does get into the Cabinet he will hustle things, I tell you.” High Art on the Stage. Labouchere in London Truth. 1 once was the owner of a theatre, and I was perpetually at war with authors and actors, who wanted me to ruin myself on the altar of high art. But I soon discovered that this was a term which they used for their own fads. Once I produced a play by Charles Reade. It was a failure, and on the first night I was sitting with him in a box. “Tney seem to lie hissing, Mr. Reade,” 1 said. “What of that?” lie replied. “If you want to please such a public as this you should not come to me for a play.” Another time I produced a piece of Tom Taylor’s, called ‘ Joan of Arc. in which Mrs. Rousby was “Joan.” It was to commence at 7 o’clock, for it was a very lengthy perform ance On the curtain going up, there was an invisible chorus. I found that the salaries of the singers would be about £ls per week. I pointed out to Mr. Taylor that this£ 15 would be wasted. He was indignant at my base, mercenary view of a beautiful artistic effect, But I stood.firm, and finally he said that, rather than sacrifice the effect, he would jiay for it himself. To this, naturally, I had no objection, but after the first week and one payment by him of £ls the chorus disappeared. “Joan,” in this play, was finally taken up to heaven and received by angels. I insisted on first burning her. “I never,” said Mr. Taylor, “will allow my drama to le thus degraded.” “Well,” I said, “I have spent several thousand pounds on the scenery and dresses of this play, and I don't want to lose my money, so I must burn Mrs. Rousby.” “1 won’t write a word of the dialogue,” lie said. “I don’t want any dialogue,” 1 replied. “ ‘Joan’ shall lie bound to the stoke, her arms above her head, fagots at her feet, and she shall be en veloped in chemical flames: there shall be a crowd and it shall groan and moan.” In vain he protested. Mix Rousby was nightly burned before her journey heavenward, j don’t know whether it was artistic, but it was so effective and realistic that half Lon don (to my profit) came to see it.
