The Senate Passes the Brad well Bill Making Complete Revision of the State School Laws Dr. Felton Makes a Long fpeech in Favor of Hlb BUI on * ducatlon. Atlanta. Ga., Sept. 11.—The Senate to day passed Mr. Brad well’s bill, making complete revision of the chool laws of the state and extending the term of the com mon rotiool gvstem to six months. The bill is very comprehensive, but with the adop tion of anu ber of amendments pas-ed without opposition. The amendments pro vide agai ist the exclusion of the bill from .the common sch >ois and that the text books shall be by south ern authois, or, if such cannot be had, then the books selected shall be free from sectionalism. An amendine t was adopted making the office of state school commis sioner elective, but it was afterwarls re considered, as tbe constitution makes it appointive. Iu the H use to-day an effort was mads to reconsider the action of yesterday on t e substitute for Mr. Hall’s state road resolu tion, but the eff >rt wa, defeated. FELTON’S. EDUCATIONAL BILL. The special order iu the House was Mr. Felton’s educatio al bill. It provides for an appropriation after Jan. 1, IH'.U, of o .e half of the rental of the Western and At lanic ra.lroad to the c mmon scnools, $!2.- 000 to the experiment station and ton,ooo to the state university. The bill is co ,-in ered as mainly in the interest of the u iverstty. Dr. Felton made a speech in support of it, which nearly consumed the morning hour. He 6aid if this net is passed t e common schools of Georgia will receive #210.000, in stead of sls i,(XX) as now, from the rental of the Wes ern and Atlantic railroad. Ho specially advocated the e.icourageme t of the agricultural s auons. Agr.culture is now a science, and most be tau.ht as law, uiedici ea .and engineering are taught. Ho would be glad to see that railroad conseera ed an i made a memorial to the cause of education and the patriotism, intelligence and public virtue of i.ur fore fathers. He bad no personal interest in the bill. He only claimed the priv lege of being laxed to educate the children of Geor gia. He was in favor of ihe c mmon schools, and he was in favor of big ,er edu cation. We must work f.oin tbe bottom and from the top, if we would enlighten the people. He begged the mem bes to re member thatevery cent given to higher education gees to educate white giris and boys. SHARE OF THE NEGROES. Negroes must share all the advantages of the common schools. Ho did not want northern philanthropy to educate the ne groes, while wo failed to give our children the benefits of higher education. “God being mv helper, 1 am now and forever for the white mau.” Tbe history of education shows that edu cation always started w ith higher education. From Koine to E iglai.d, France, G rinatiy, Austria and the U ited State, has c .me the idea of higher education. Every i ation has its university supported by the public ex cept beingnted Turkey. He begge ito com mend tbi fact to those preachers who were rus ingover Georgia from the mountain, to the so,.shore, like spiders in tue hot ashes, advocating ti.e cause of the common schools against higher educ tion.

President Thomas of the New Or leans Exchange Put3 the Matter Before the Meeting—The Final De cision Allows 24 Pounds Off Gross Weight fer Tare on Jute Bagging and 1C Pounds for Cotton Bagging. .

Delegates wore present from Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Natchez, Me ridian, Vicksburg, New York, St. Louis, Augusts, Ga., Greenville, Miss., Memphis, Nashville, Mobile, Savannah, Jackson, Miss., and many other cities. In nddition to the regular delegates the commissioners of agricu lure fro ti several s utaern states and representatives of the Karine s’ Alliance a ere almitted to seats ou the floor. VIEWS OF PRESIDENT THOMAS. At the convention’s request President Tiio nas, of tile New Orleans excha ge, gave his views on the sub ject as expres.fcd in his report at the time of the cad. In order to bring the matter b>if ire tne mcoti ig he move l that ail the cotton in American markets be sold at net weight, allowing 5 per cent off for tare on jute covered halos and 3> s per cent, for cotton c >verd hale*. Mr. Cope.and of Ne . York seconded the motion. The motion was discussed and amended. COL. LIVINGSTON SPEAKS. One of the interesting features of the tneeOng was a speech by President Liv ingston of the Farmers’ Alliance of Geor gia, who wa* elected spokesman by the alliance delegations. He made a strong appeal in lieualf of the resolution as a mea-uire of justice to the farmers, and said that the alhancas were getting stronger, ad would soon cease to beg and would take what wasu deuiably theirs. Eicon, aging cotton b igging manufacture would leave seveial million and dia s in the suutu annually. England would object to it at first, but would soon accept the situa tion. A PROTEST FROM LIVERPOOL. The Liverpool Cott n Association sent a letter against ott u bagging. The B e men excha ge wrote that it had n iobjection to cotton bagging if it was heavy duff sufficient to p otoct tbe cotton. Ihe following resolution was finally adopted: Rexolveil, That on and aft -r Oct. !, 18.81. all cotton suali ho soul at net weight, allowing 21 p u ids off the gross weigat for tare ou jute covered bales and sixteen po ids off for lare on cotton covered bales, eottou covering to be of the standard weigut of three-quarters of a pound to the yard. Toe resolution was unanimously adopted. New York, Natcnaz, Memphis, St. L mu, and Meridian voted ayo, subject to ratifiea t on by their excha igos, as they did not feel tha their credo itials justified them in idi g thoir exchanges. Tho far ners’ alliance people said tne resolution would be ratified, as they would only senl cotton to points where the taro was in operation. A proposition to c i nge the cotton year to Aug. 1 was re jected. The New Orleans exchange will give a dinner io the delegates and alliance repre sentatives to-m -rruw night CARLSON SUSS FOR DAMAGES. ihe Removal of the Blood stains Has Kurt His Exnibitlon Business. Chicago, 111., Sept. 11.—Jonas Carl sou’s promised suit against the attorney of the men on trial for tho Cronin murder for breaking into the Carlson cottage was begun to-day in the circuit court. Mr. Carlson plan s Ilia damages at $5,900. Ho says tho defendants broke into nis house with foice and arms last Monday, and de faced and cut into tho walls and floor, and violently se.zed and bruised him. HAS BECOMF. NOTORIOUS. The declaration says that by reason of the crime kuuw.i as the “Cronin murder,” hav ing been committed in his house, tho place has become notorious ad well known io ti e public. It is an obj -.ct of general inter est and curi sity, and a large number of people nave paid to seethe building and the “marks and evidences of the crime.” Tue place was littel up for exhibition and Mr. Cirlson has derived a large revenue. The acts of the defendants in re moving the bi od stains have, the declara tion aihes, greatly injured tne house and depreciated the interest of the public, which has been diminished by the aforesaid acts. , TRYING TO GET A JURY. Tho grind of getti .g a j ,ry in the Cronin case was resu nod in tho criminal cour. this 1 morning. Nothing of interest was devel oped up to the uouu recess.

A SPOxtT-LuVISG FAMILY. Ex-Secretary Bayard’s Daughters Fond of Bass Bail and Tennis. From the .Vein York Star. Probably the ni st ardeut f atrons of out door sports in Wilmington are the daughters of ex-Becretary of State Thomas F. Bayard. The Mis-cs Bayard are four in number— Nannie, Flo. euce, Louisa and Nellie—eacn of whom can be justly classed a* an accom p islied etjuevtrienna The ma-terly way in wnich the daughters Of Delaware’* s ates iiin handle t..e prancing steeds is envied by their legions off iends. So adapt are they that gei.e.ally the family coac'una i is camp-lied io literally take a back seat, and surrender the reins so 0.0 of the young ladies. T,e ex- Seci etary rarely thinks of ho ding the reins when out f r a drive with his girls. To say that the Bayard family could very en-uly dispense with the services of the old family coachman, and not be seiiously in convenienced is not putting it too strongly. The famJy is essentially a collective lover of hursefl sh, and, as a proof f the discrimi nating pa ernaT eye in this re spec , a gia me at any one of tiie thoroughbreds wills .dice. Mr. B tvar I’s stable is wiiliin fifty y .r s of the man-ion, and it is a pleasure to him to sae that it is kept in attractive shape by the groomsmen. While the Misses Bayard a-o devout ad mirers of t e mo t useful of quadrupeds, they are regular patrons of nearly all out door sports, esjiociahy base ball and lawn tenuis. Tbe Wilmington Base Ball Club’s grounds are within 490 yards of the Bayard mansion, aid it is uuusual to -tart a game without first seeing that the fair daughters of ex-President Cleveland’s premier nave arr.ved. They are generally on hand long efore the timo for the game to begin, and the hearty manner in which they appre ciate and unsti tingly applaud lie good ■ ’la son tioth sides is worthy >*f em lation. ineir presence always serves to stimulate tue .da - ers. Miss Florence Bayard is the champion lad/ lawn teuni, player in Delaware, she Lei g an active member of the Delaware F el 1 Club and a regular participant at all of the club’s tenuis tournaments. Miss Fi ireuce is al,o the champion lady ten ds player of the Di trict of Columbia, a dis ti c.ion which she won du ing tbe cabinet locum iency of her fat er. The members of the Delaware Field Club wou.d not Hesi tate to have Miss Florence Bayard represent their organization at al cost any of the na tional tournaments. Her sisters are also ten iis plavers, bat they cannot wield the racquet with the proticieney that has been acquired by the In iy champion. Ex-Secretary Bayard lias three sons— James, Thomas F., j., and Puiiip. They are also atnletically inclined, especially the namesake, who is an all-amu id atnle eof no mean anility. Thomas F., jr., is a Yaie stu len , and he a id his fatner of en engage iu pleasurable but active boats with the gloves. The ex-secretary is accom.il.shed in the art of self-d fonso, and he considers it excohent exercise. Ai ogetae.-, the Bayard famllv can be name las asp irt-loviug p-ople, and they are literally tae 1 aisrs of legitimate sport in Wilmington. SOCIETY’S LATEST FaD. A Publisher Devising a Short Cut to Liter 1 ry Culture. From the Baltimore American. The number off .saionable people in New York, some members of McAllister’s four hundred, and several thousand outside, ho wish to appear well read without having the bother of reading much, is quite large, a: and to please these a shrewd publisher lias started a rare enterprise. The | üblisher says that literary culture is the f id, now, that is going to receive tie attention of fashionable women this winter, and he is going to take time by the forelock and get out a work which will be of great value to the-e book-worms. During tho summer months while at 'several fasiiipnable re orts he noticed that as soon as a group of w omen was formed the first subject touched on was that of literature. Have you road such-and-such a work? one worn in would ask anotiier, and the eply would be tiiatshe had read it when a gir , but hal forgot most of the book. Ano her would remark that she had j lined a reading club and inte ided to read all of the standard works during the winter m mth-. In this way quite a movement has been started for the readi ig of books and obtaining a sufficient acquaintance wit authors to talk intelligently about their best k own works. The puulisher intends to print something like an encyclopedia, givi g only such in formati >u about well-known authors and condensed sketches of those works as will enable readers to appear well up in litera ture wi.bout having to rea t the lengthy preface* a id descriptio s c mtainod in their boo Ks. Speaking ot this proj ct, th iaumor of she sche ne says that the demands of so ciety upon the time of fa-hi in able worn n preclude their reading the whole of wo ks with wh’ch they should bo fa niliar, and which, in order to appear at all ctmg dal to people of literary turn, the mis pre tend to have read. By rea ling his book they will bo able to talk en ugh about authors and their works to make others feel that the,r education has not been wholly neglected in their youth. Men of extensive acquaintance with letters who have been thr iwn int > the com pany of McAlli ter’s “Four Hundred” often observed that in many instances wo uen <>f wealth and beauty are shamefully un familiar wit.itbe works of standard authors, and wuen this subject a ises for discussion, as it invariably and ies arise, einb irras-ment ensues, and the topic has to b- dropped for fear oi exposing tue ignorance of 6ome of those present. This winter the literary fad is to break out iu Fifth aveuu •, and those who want o go. into the sw n at the s uallest outlay of nervous off rt avid be looked after by the man who has observed tne signs ot the ti e* in tho poverty of literary culture among the rich and asliiou be.

Wilkesbarrb, Pa., Sep‘. 11.—One of ; the groarest cave-ins that has yet occurred in the coal regio s startled the r side ts of the Wyoming valley last night. Just out side of the town of Plyuiou h the earth settled for a dis tance of half a mile, affectiDg abou thirty acres of territory belonging to the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Com pany. The entire territory was under mined and was still being worked out. The concussion was tho ght by many to be caused by a earthquake, and people in this city, for miles distant, experienced a rocking sensation. EXTENSIVE CREVICES. At the scene of th 9 cave-iti t its aftern non the eartn was brjken a id ex ensive crevices were running in every direction, many of them ex ending to great depths. Several mules wh ch ere in tue mine were killed, and nea 1 v a 1 tee ml ers lost their Working tools. The damage canno yet lie ascer tained, iut it will be immense. W rkmen wo e busy this afternoon endeavoring to effect an opening into the mine, but there is grea danger of water entering it from tue surface and shutting off all further labor. 1,500 MADE IDLE. About 1,500 men anl boys are thrown oui. of employment. The company oilieia Is are very reticent and h ve little news to give regarding the accident. It is known to-nigut that the cave-in will seriously af fect the numbers 2. 3 and 5 collieries. The bottom has fallen out of a number of cel lars in the neighb mood, and a farm house near by has partially toppled over. ESC PE OF THE WORKMEN. Twenty-five me i were,fin the mine at w rk when they heard the timbers and pil lars begin to break. They rushed for tho first opening, and escaped without inj lry. The ventilating doors in all tnree collieries are crushed to splinters. Many car. in the N . 3 shaft were blown from the tracks and deuiol.s ied. Experie ced miners wh > ven tured down the No. 3 shaft this afternoon are if the opinion that it will take a year or more before coal can again be mined. MEDICAL. ME' IYER TAILS. ERUPTION ON FACT!
