CAPITAL OF TilK STATE.
TEE OL.D CArITOL'S PURCHASER
CALLS CS THE GOVERNOR.
Tha Governor Telle What Hie Plane
Are in the Matter la Case Collusion
is Discovered The Davie Fund
Meeting and Action of the Execu
tive Committee of the Alliance.
Atlanta, G.v., March 30. — Joel Hurt,
the highest bidder for tho old capitol, called
on the governor to-day in company with
Alderman Kowell. The governor nas
questioned about the rumor that he was
about to annul the sale oa the ground that
Mr. Hurt and his associates had used means
calculated to discourage competition in bid
ding. Gov. Gordon replied that he would
give neither city nor Air. Hurt time
bevond ten days, within which, as pro
vided by the act. that first payme.it
of half the purchase price shoul 1 be
forthcoming, but if the conditions of the
rale specified in the act and publicly cried
by toe auctioneer were met on time, he ex
pected to close the! contract, unless in the
meantime something should transpire to
convince him that there h id been collusion,
by which bidding had been kept down and
tie state subjected to loss, in which event
he stated that lie would reserve the right to
decline to complete the contract on the
jiart of the commonwealth. He added,
liowever, that he did not 1 ok for any such
occasion to arise. He expected, on the
contrary, to accept the half payment if ten
dered in time, and decrease the public debt
and the new issue of slate bonds by the
amount.
Surveyors will shortly be appointed by
the governor to ascertain the extent of the
Okefinokee swamp lands in order that it
may be ascertained what amount is due the
ntate from the purchasers, whose bid was
by the acre.
THE DAVIS MONUMENT FUND.
Maj. J. W. Childress of Nashville, presi
dent of the press association which, at New
Orleans, undertook to co-operate with ihe
commander of the United Confederate
Veterans in raising the fund for the Davis
monument, was in town recently and con
ferred with Gen. Gordon on the subject.
The question of when to begin taking steps
for getting the money together and the
•.most advisable plan for raising it was dis
missed at length, but no definite programme
was agreed upon. Another conference will
noon be held and a plan of action formu
lated.
HEAVY EXTRA WORK.
The controller general is in receipt of nu
merous letters from county tax receiv
ers protesting against the terms of
f.henew Calvin act, which provides that
tihey shall gather agricultural, mineral, and
manufacturing statistics without compen
sation. The receiver’s duties are nearly
double by the act, but the controller regards
the statistics of vital interest to the state,
and will recommend that the receivers per
form the duty, and trust to the next legis
lature to furnish compensation. He will
call the attention of the general assembly to
the matter. Meantime many receivers
threaten to resign.
THE ALLIANCE.
After the adjournment of the interstate
alliance meeting President Polk said in
reply to inquiry: “The chief object of our
meeting was to discuss and further the cot
ton bagging movement. Instead of being
weak and receding from our position in the
matter, we know exactly what, we have to
rely upon and propose to whip tbe fight.
We are confident that this year wo will be
able to market every bale of alliance cotton
throughout the southern states in cotton
bagging. We were at a disadvantage last
year, but now we propose to whip
the fight, and the cotton exchanges
had as well realiz tho fact. Last season
they had the advantage of us. They entered
entered into a compact with us, and then
went back upon us. But we know our
strength and will fight to the end upon the
line we have adopted. All cotton must be
wrapped in a fiber manufactured at home.”
President Peek admitted that Gov. Gordon
addressed the alliancemen last night, but
declined to say anything about the subject
on which he spoke.
The southern representatives of the alli
ance passed a resolution opposing the pas
sage of the compound lard bill.

CAR WORKS FOR CHARLESTON.
The City Made Glad by a Rumor That
Seems Too Good to be True.
Charleston, S. C., March 30. Very
cheering rumors are in the air in Charleston
to-night. It is said on pretty good author
ity that a party of northern capitalists
have in contemplation tho building of a
$1,000,000 car factory here, their purpose
being to build railroad cars for the South
and Central American trade. The capi
talists are to furnish $900,000 and
Charleston SIOO,OOO of the stock.
It is known that the Chisholm’s
mills property on Ashley river has been
purchased for SOO,OOO, the venders agreeing
to take $30,000 in stock. The company, it
is said, control most of the car wheel man
ufactories in the Uuited States, and the
story goes that they are treating for two of
the largest iron works on tho east water
front of the city, with a view of establish
ing, in connection with their car factory, a
manufactory for car wheels.
negotiating for land.
They are also in treaty with Capt.
Thomas Young for a tract of land on the
South Water front. This wa3 formerly a
mill pond, but has been filled up by Capt.
Young. The rumor appears wild, but there
appears to be some foundation for it.
Taken in connection with the recent pur
chase of the Union Cottou Press and wharf
property and the proposed construction of a
belt line road, it looks as if the old city by
the sea was about to turn the corner.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. MARCH 21, 1890.
STUCK ONTHE SCHEDULES
M’KINLEY MUST HAVE MORE TIME
ON THE TARIFF BILL.
Protests Against the Proposed Duties
btill Pouring in on the Committee-
Sugar and Hides the Articles That
Cause the Most Trouble—The Demo
crats Smiling.
Washington, March 20. —Representa-
tive McKinley will hardly be able to report
the tariff bill to the full committee before
Monday, unless, indeed, he and his asso
ciates should report it whether or no. The
premature publication of their schedules
has brought the entire country about their
ears. All day, sitting in a borrowed com
mittee room, because their own was so over
run with protestants, they listened to
appeals from their decisions. One which
was settled on tho spot in favor of the
protestant was preferred by Mr. McCormick
of Pennsylvania and Mr. Boutelle of Maine
for the restoration of the duty on lumber to
that rate provided in the Senate bill. It
had been cut by the ways and means repub
licans fully 50 per cent.
SUGAR AND HIDES.
Sugar and hides still give them more
trouble than everything put together. The
republicans who want fr.-e sugar and tbe
republicans who want high taxed sugar
held meetings bv delegatnais in some cases,
and formally asked for what they wanted.
As iu the case of lumber, the changes made
by the republicans,if any,will probably be by
increasing the rates on sugar. Henry Cabot
Lodge, who recognizes the fact that the tax
on bides is more important to Lynn than to
any other city, and all the other Massa
chusetts republicans got together and
lab >red with Mr. McKinley and his asso
ciates to have free raw material for the
leather men.
MADE AN IMPRESSION.
They think they made an impression and
that the hide tax will be stricken out, but
they realize that it is easier to get the ways
and means committee to increase than to
reduce rates, especially as they are fully
persuade! that the Massachusetts repub
licans will voto for the bill finally, no mat
ter what it contains.
MANUFACTURERS HEARD.
Boston shoe manufacturers have made
representations to the committee to-day in
respect to hides, which have been placed on
the dutiable list against their wishes. The
action of the republican members of the
committee in fixing a duty on raw silk has
been reconsidered, and the matter is held
iu abeyance, while the item relating to lead
ores containing silver (Mexican ores) has
been re-opened and discussed all of this
afternoon without result.
MADE THE DEMOCRATS SMILE.
The democrats looked on with smiles.
Thomas C. Proctor, the well known Boston
leather man who is here protesting, said to
Messrs. Carlisle aid Mills to-day: “The
effect of that hide tax would bo to drive the
tannery business to Canada, where the
tanners would have all the hemlock bark
they want.”
"Well.” said Mr. Carlisle, “you are in
favor of free hemlock bark as well as free
hides. The democrats will avail them
selves of this opportunity to show the tax
ridden farmer and the tax burdened manu
facturer ail the beauties of protection.”
AMERICAN RAILS IN MEXICO.
Twenty-five Thousand Tons Imported
Cheaper Than From Europe.
Washington, ; March 30.—Consul Gen
eral. Button at Neuvo Laredo, Mexico, has
reported to the state department that 25,-
000 tons of American steel rails have
been recently imported into Mexico for
use in the construction of the Monterey
and Mexican Gulf railway. He says the
president of the road informed him that the
cost was less than it would have been on
the same quantity of European rails of the
same grade, and the consul congratulates
the country on the transaction ns being the
first successful competition in Mexico with
tho European product.
REED’S PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.
It Will be Given a Boost at the Grant
Dinner at Pittsburg.
Washington, March 20. Speaker Reed
has promised President English of the Swell
Americas Club of Pittsburg aud Represen
tative IJalzell, a member of the club, who
will be toastmaster on the occasion, to be
present at the dinner to be given on April
26 in honor of Gen Grant’3 birthday. It is
said that Mr. Reed’s presidential boom will
bo inaugurated at this the first public dinner
ho lias attended since the coup d'etat. It
will be remembered that Chris Magee, who
controls the Americas club, hail Senator
Quay blackballed by it lost year.
BRUNSWICK'S BAR.

Committees at Washington.
Washington, March 20. —Congressman
lister got a hearing for the Brunswick del
egation before the House rivers and liarbor
c immittea today. To-morrow he will pro
cure them a hearing before the House jiub
lic building committee. Brunswick will
get a reasonable increase in her harbor ap
propriation, but will hardly get her public
building bill through this session. Col. Les
ter will do the best he can however.
Anti-Lottery Bills Passed.
Louisville, March 30.— The bills repay
ing the charters of the Frankfort, Henry
college and Grand Lodge lotteries pas-e i
the Kentucky House of Representatives to
day. The anti -lottery men form a strong
majority in the legislature and will use
every effort, to suppress the lotteries.
Eoldiers Guarding a JalL
Rcihmond, Va., March 20.—Fearing
that an attempt will be made to lynch
Henry Mu-xoo (colored), iu jail at Char
lottesville, convicted of tho murder of a
policeman and sentenced to be hauged, a
military company is now guarding the
prison.
THE CHEF TALKS.
The Very Sma;l Ways of Prasident
Harrison.
The Washington correspondent of the St.
Louis Republic says: If the Hon. Charles
B. Farwell, United States senator from Illi
nois, had not been a great statesman and a
great merchaut, he would have been a very
enterprising newspaper man. in fact, some
of Senator Far well’s colleagues in the Senate
arc now rather inclined to think tha' he
missed his vacation in not becoming a news
paper man when his mind was yet in a state
of development. It is known, of course,
that there I* no love lost between Senator
Farwell and Benjamin Harrison. Senator
Farwell habitually refer* to tho President
of the Uuited States os “that leather-faced
person in the white house.” Now, why Far
well should call Harrison “leather-faced” is
one of those tiling* that nobody can find

had come to Washiugton under contract to
I take charge of the wnite house emsin*.
j Borne months ago Far well fnesl the
I aforesaid chef eu Pennsylvania avenue
wearing a plug hat "and otherwise
gaudily dressed. The senator and tho chef
accosted each other. The senator asked:
“Are you having a good time at tbe white
house, and do you like Washingtonf’ The
chef answered: “I like Washington well
enough, but the white house.” You
see the chef , aitnough of French extraction,
had become very well familiarized with
western American language. “Wuat’* the
matter with the white house?’ asked Sen
ator Far well.
“O,” replied the chef, “I have been in the
habit of working for gentlemen, and I
could not degrade myself by remaining ia
the service of Harrison.”
“YVhat’s the matter*” asked Farwell.
“Oh, well,” said the chef, “look at the e
and see for yourself.” T Hereupon he hauled
from the recesses of his pocketbook three
checks. One was for 19 cents for light
rolls, another for 20 cents for tripe and the
third for 29 cents for sugar—all three signed
by Benjimih Harrison. "These.” said the
chef, “illustrate why a man like it.e, who
has been accustomed ali my life t > serving
gentlemen, could not remain at the white
house. I had no: a single cent at my own
disposal to buy or provide anything.
Neither had Mrs. Harrison. Every Bingle
thing that we wanted we had to get an
order for from Harrison, and when the bill
came back he gave his individual check for
it. These checks I now show you, one for
19 cents, one for 30 cents and one for 29
cents, with the cause of their expenditure
on t e face of each, respectively, light rolls,
tripe and sugar, is sufficient illustration of
the way in which the white house is being
conducted.” Far well’s eyis bulged out and
1.0 said: “I will give you S2O each for those
three checks. ’’
"It is a bargain,” said the enterprising
chef. Farwell forked over SG'I and the
chef passed over the three check* aggre
gating 68 cents, but containing three auto
graphs of the President of the United
States.
Farwell told this story himself to a half
dozen of his senatorial associates at a nri
vate dinner party a few evenings ago. They
all listened with interest, and when he hgd
finished telling of his purchase one of them
remarked.
“Why I saw the photograph of one of
those checks, the 19 cents one, published in
a Chicago weekly paper about a week ago.”
“O, tl at’s all right,” said the senator.
“My son-in-law is connected with tba
paper, and I know a good thing for a news
paper when I see it.”
All of which goes tc illustrate that Charles
B. Farwell has a nose for news, and is not
averse to spending S6O for 68 cents ia the
interest of bis son-in-law’s papers when
three autographs of the President of the
United States are involved.
SNAKES IN IRELAND.
The Work of Good St. Patrick Undone
by a Tipsy American Showman.
From the Chico, to Reus.
From Ireland comes the news that snakes
have appeared in that country. It seeun
that about five years ago a showman named
Wilson came from America with a show of
living wild animals. He lauded his show at
Queenstown, and gave exhibitions up
through Ireland with more o • loss success.
But one night at the little town of Am
raugh, in Tipperary, Mr. Wilson got very
drunk, and a dan of snakes in his exhibition
was set free.
Two years ago the people in the neighbor
hood of Amraugb began to miss poultry
aid pigs. Several vagabonds fell under
suspicion, were apprehended and wore
locked up. But the depredations continued,
and finally a farmer’s lad testified that
upon returning late one night from a merry
making he had seen the evil one in the guise
ot a serpent making away with a pig
across the field. The village priest took
the lad in hand and questioned him closely,
but nothing could shale? the fellow’s
testimony. About this time other people
detected similar fiends in the act of like
depredations and at oucs arose a hue and
cry that tho spot was a damned one and had
been given over to the devil for diabolical
practices. Special prayers were said and
the devil was publicly denounced, but the
depredations continued, and presently from
Castelraiue, a town twelve miles dislant,
came word that his Satanic majesty hail
begun operations in that locality, his vic
tims in this instance and iu this place being
sheep, not poultry and pigs.
In this dismal emergency tho bishop was
most properly appealed to, for the parish
priests were at their wits’ end and
their parishioners were well nigh
crazed through fear. The bishop en
listed the services of two shrewd
detectives from Dublin, who. iu the course
of a fortnight, reported to their saintly em
ployer that the depredations at Castelraiue
and Amraugh had indeed bein committed
by serpents, the detectives themselves hav
ing seen and watched the same upon three
and stinct occasions seize, kill and carry off
their p ey. The serpents were described as
dark of color and fully fifteen feet in length.
They killed their victims by coiling about
their bodies.
The story was discredited by the clergy
and laity until, as good luck would have it,
a correspondent of the Freeman's Journal
(at Dublin) recalled the significant, not to
say portentous, circumitanco that the
numerous and divers species of snakes which
had escaped from the Wilson show nbout
three years previous had never been cao
tured. Then of u sudden the mystery wts
cleared up, aid bands for the exter
mination of the monsters were speedily
organized among the vengeful peasantry.
Three of the snakes were shortly
thereafter seen, pur.su and and killed in the
bog east of Amraugh; the largest of the
snakes measured four feet; in the maw of
each was found a pullot. About a month
thereafter a fourth snake was killed near
Castelraiue; this snake, upon being cut
open, was found to contain very many little
snakes, which immediately glided into the
grass and escaped before the astonished
rustics could apprehend them. Then tho
snakes seemed toidisappear, and, no further
depredations baiug noted, the excitement
gradually died out.
