It Is Still Uncertain, However, Whether it Will be Accepted, and an Electidn May Yet be Decided On The Old Capitol Muddle Still Unsettled. Ga., March -i. —The prohibi twnists had a second meeting to-night and a sort < f coinnromi-e was agreed upon. A committee of Tour, aptoiuted last evening, rendered their rep n, and it received the unanimous endorsement of the conference. In sub-tance it was: “T hat whereas an honest difference of opinion exists between the prohibitionists of Fulton county, and whereas the local option law is not exactly what : he prohibit!'ui-ts want, si-ee it fails to provide for the sale of liquor for medi cinal, scientific and mechanical purposes, we therefore recommend that no election be held for the present, provided those who oppose the holding of an election will join with those who favor it in sending to the legislature their members from tins county pledged to use their best efforts to have the local option law so amended as to include the dispensing feature.” “This resolution,” said a prominent mem ber of the IS9O club, “is to be submitted to a mass meeting for ratification or rejection within the next twenty days, so you per ceive the action to-night by no means set- I ties the election question. Should the anti- | electionists decline the terms of the resolu tion the eleciiomsts will feel free to follow their own course. Then, what will be done at the mass meeting cannot be foretold. The resolution may be rejected and an elec tion be decided upon.” THE OLD CAPITOL. There mw seems little probability that the city will secure the old capitol building. In accordance wit h the resolution passed by the council last evening, the finance com mittee to-day submitted a contract to Mr. Hart by which he was to agree to pay the tax due on the property if bonds for its purchase are not voted. This Mr. Hart de clined to sign, bat he says he will lay the matter before his associates to-morrow. Mr. Kiser declines to talk, but Mr. Collins says he has no idea of paying the tax. The gentlemen prop se making the first pay ment on the building to-morrow, and nego tiations with the city may be considered off. JUEGE LAWSON IX THE RACE. Hon. Thomas T. Lawson, for years judge of toe Ocmulgee circuit, and at present one of the representatives in the legislature from Putnam county, announces bis candi dacy for coiigressfro.n the eighth district in a card over his owu signature. VIOLENTLY INSANE. Mrs. Hamilton, of Port Orange, Fla.,is at the Providence infirmary violently insane. Her sin. P.ev. Mr. White of Toronto,Canada, arrived to-day, but her condition is such that it will be several days before she will be able to continue her journey northward. ATith her daughter, Mrs. Kelly, she arrived here Sunday en route to Torouto, her sum mer home, and became so violent that she hail to be carried from the train to the hos pital. Her condition is regarded as hope less. CROWDS AT THE CHAUTAUQUA. Senator Colquitt, A. S. Davis and Others Make Speeches. Albany, Ga., March 27.—The Chautau qua was a success again to-day. Crowds came in on ail the trains, and Albany was happy. At 11 o’clock Senator Colquitt was introduced to a large audience. Alluding to the pleasure of being with old friends, he introduced his theme as “The South.” Its scope was the wonderful resources of the south and her vast possibilities. He pict ured a great c untry in the future if let alone by northern fanaticism. At 2 o’clock the assembly met again, and J. S. Davis in a happy way introduced Congressman Turner, w ho delivered a terse speech, full of thought, concerning national issues. He was hopeful and had faith in the second sober thought of tho north, and felt that the northerners would discoun tena ce federal interference despite some agitators in congress. UNITY URGED. He saw yet no nipping frost on our hopes and anticipations, yet he advised our people to remain compact and fail not to pieces. He invoked patience and forbearance, and begged our people to invite no aggressions, ami to avoid small collisions with the negro if the dominant paty should press upon us and assault our civilization. We should let the world behold a united people, a people “haughty not to the humble and humble not to the haughtv.” Dr. Sherrill of Atlanta delivered a lecture on “Erasmus, the man of Letters.” Dr. Gifford of Boston, a,brilliant orator, lectured to-night. To-morrow is Gov. Gordon’s day. The military will parade, and the crowd will be immense. Albany has never had so manv strangers within her gates before. The enthusiasm is almost equal to the hospi tality. FIRE AT DAVISBORO. A Building Used as Store and Dwell ing Destroyed. Davisboro, Ga., March 27.—At 9 o’clock last night the store occupied by H. H. Kil patrick as a family grocery was burned ■with all its contents. The bouse was a large two-story wooden building, and Dr. A. A. Chance used a portion of the first floor as a drug store, and his family used the second floor as a dwelling. The origin of the fire is unknown, the first alarm being the explosion of a keg of powder, which brought the house to the ground. Dr. Chance’s family were just ready to retire for the night, and tlieir escape from the building after the fall, with slight injury, ■was miraculous. The only insurance was carried by Mr. Kilpatrick on his stock. His policy is in the Royal of Liverpool for #7OO, which, he states, will not c iver his loss. The bouse was owned by Mrs. Nancy WaldeD, and was valued at SBOO. A ROME SENSATION. The Grand Jury at Work on the Holmee-Allgood Case. Rome, Ga., March 27.—The superior court is now in session, and the grand jury has been busily engaged. This evening the grand jury began an investigation of the Holmes-Allgo >d case. The counsel for the prosecution are here, including Hon. Na than Hammond, William Henry, Judge Wright, and others. The tragedy* occurred a few weeks ago. Holmes killed his brother in-law, Allgood, on the street by shooting him with a shotgun. Holmes is justified by many in the kiliing on the ground that it was in self-defense. There are some, how ever, who are not of this opinion. Great interest is manifested in the investigation of the grand jury. Two or three witness os were examined this afternoon, and some eighteen or twenty m ra will bo to morrow, .Should a true bill bo found.

His audience was composed largely of alliance men, represontiug the farmers of this and adjoining counties. His speech gave evidence of much research ami con centration of thought. He arraigned the national government upon almost every prominent public question, dwelling at length upon the national bank system. He brought prominsntly to the front his sub treasury scheme. In this connection he took occasion to read several extracts from the Morning News. His speech did not appear to strengthen his chance to be gov ernor. GEORGIA’S EDITORS.

Three Men Fatally Injured and Sixteen Others Severely Burned. Chicago, March 27.—A disastrous explo sion occurred this evening in the Chicago Sugar Refinery Company’s plant, corner of Taylor and Beach streets. The explosion occurred in the stare i drying room. Spontaneous combus tion is supposed to have been the cause. The building is a two-story brick structure, separated from the tall main building. Twenty-seven men were at work in the starch room, and General Manager Arnold Bel r had just entered the building when there came a tremendous clap, followed by flashes of fire and the rumbling of falling timbers. UNDER THE DEBRIS. Shattered portions of the building and machinery were hurled in every direction, and the workmen in an instant found thern reives b neath a mass of debris, which was soon ablaze. Two hundred men are em ployed in the main building. When they heard the report of the explosion and saw the glare of the flames they were panic stricken. Rushing down the long, narrow stairways, headlong and out into the air, it was some moments before they realized the position of their comrades and began their rescue. Crios for help sounding above the fire brought the main building men to their senses. With tho aid of eighteen fire engine crews the big refiner v was barely saved. The loss is about SIO,OOO. Ihe explosion resulted iu tho loss of at loast three lives and the wounding of six teen others. The dead are all laborers. AXLE WORKS HAND3 TO QUIT. They Object to Discharges on Account of a Lack of Work. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 27. — Four hundred employes of the Sheldon Axle Com pany will go on a strike to-morrow. Soma time ago when work was slack the foreman suspended three of the men. Last week he hired others in their places. Toe rest of the employes objected to this, an 1 asked that the old hands be reinstated, as they were skilled workmen, and wore suspended solely becausi there was not enough work to keep them going. Tne company refused, and the ma ter was referred to the district executive board of tho Knights of I.abor. This bmly held two consultations with the superintendent, but failed to arrive at an agreement, and the men were ordered to quit work at 10 o’clock to-morrow. As 00 per cent, of them belong to the Axle Workers’ Assembly of the Knights of Lab >r, it is expected that every man til the s.iop will quit work.

Colt of Chesterfield the Nominee for Lieutenant Governor—A Full Del egation Present The Convention Votes Not to Nominate Candidates lor the Other State Officers. Columbia, iS. C., March 27. —A conven tion representing what is known as the farmers or ref .rin movement, met in the state capitol at n oa to-day. A full delega tion was present from most of the counties under the leadership of Benjamin Tillman, of Edgefield. For ,-everal years a uersist ent attack has been made on the existing form of government, and the cry has been “down with b iurb >u or aristocratic rule, lower taxes, abolishment of superfluous offices, and revolution generally.” a bittep. arraignment. In January last a bitter arraignment of the state administration was made in the form of a letter to t:ie democracy of South Carolina, c .argine extravagance, ineffi ciency, ring rule, etc., and calling a con vention to meet March 27. The charges have been again and again disproved, but the farmers’ party still maintains its purpose to overthrow existing institutions, and will send delega tions to the regular state demo cratic convention piodged to sustain the nominations made. W. G. Talbert, of Edge field, state senator, was chosen temporary ehiirmaa aud John T. Duncan of Ne w berry secretary. The convention decided to nominate can didates for governor and lieutenant gov ernor, but a motion to nominate ot er state officers was voted down by a large major ity. THE PLATFORM. The platform adopted recognizes the im perative necessity of Anglo-Sax m unity, and pledges their followers to abide by the decision of the regular democratic con vention in its choice for state officers other than those nominated by the convention; demands that all other than state officials shall be nominated by primary elections, and that tho state’s phosphate beds in navigable livers and waters be surveyed and leased to the highest bidder after a commission has set a mini mum royalty according to the value de veloped by the survey, and that a constitutional convention be called; demands the abolition of the board of agri culture and that its duties be devolved on tho trustees of the Clemsou Agricultural College; pledges liberal support to the South Carolina college, as a classical and literary institution; demands that scho 1 districts shall be as nearly square as practi cable and of an area to allow only one white and one colored free school in each district, and that sehool trustees be elected instead of appointed, asks for rigid economy in public expendi tures, and a reduction of the salaries aud fees of all officers to conform to tho in creased purchasing power of money, and the decreased ability of the people to pay taxes; calls for the election of railroad com missioners by the people, and espressos the opinion that no salaried attorney of rail road or phosphate companies should be eligible to the legislature. The convention adjourned sine die. The convention nominated B. R. Till man of Edgefield for governor, and C. Coit of Chesterfield for lieutenant governor. RIGHTS OF WAY FOR WIRES. Rights of Abutting Land Owners Cennot be Ignored. Richmond, Va., March 27.—An impor tant question was decided in the supreme court to-day affecting the right of way of telegraph companies, in the case of the Western Union Telegraph Company vs. Williams, on an appeal from the circuit court of New Kent county. The contro versy grew out of a claim of the telegraph company that it had a right under an act of tho general assembly passed in 18SJ to con siruct its line along tho public roads of the state without regard to the property rights of abutting land owners. UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VOID. The court held that this act was uncon stitutional and void because it failed to provide compensation to such land owners; and that Mr. Williams, whose property rights were invaded by the company, had the right of action for trespassing to recover damages. The judgment of the lower court was affirmed. It was a test case and practically settles about twenty five cases pending in New Kent county. It will proba ly lead t o the institution of many more suits in other sections of the state where telegraph and telephone com panies have erected lines along the public roads under the act declared void by this decision. CROOKED CLERKS. Two Embezzlers Arrested an Hour Before Their Marriage. Chicago, March 27.—William Sullivan and Harry Parker, clerks employed hi the offices of the Santa Fo Elevator Company, mysteriously disappeared a few days ago.

Detectives learned that they had been corresponding with two y ung ladies who lived in a small town in Maine, and that they had gone to that place for tho purpose of marrying the young women. Telegrams were forwarded ana information was received that tho messages hud 1 eeii received just in time, for Sullivan and Barker were arrested but a short time before the weddings were to have occurred. Requisition papers have leen forwarded to Gov. Fiferaud a detective will start for Maine to bring back the alleged thieves. Found Dead in His Office. Los Angelos, Cal.. March 27. —G. Gor don Adams, a prominent att rney of this city, was found dead in his office this morn ing with a bullet wound in his temple. The shooting is believed to have been accidental.

Washington, March 22.—Any bright day in the week, except Sundays ami gen erally Saturdays, between tho hours of 10 and 11:30 o'clock a. m. t almost the entire personnel of tho Senate may b > seen stroll ing down Pennsylvania avenue, singly or in couples, toward the capitol. The pecul iarities of senatorial pedestrian exertion are an interesting and often amusing sub ject of observation. The "early” senator on the avenue, us a rule, is Cameron, of Pennsylvania. Don is always well dressed and shows off clothes to advantage, lie is straight as an arrow, though stouter than he was a low years ago, aud steps out with a wiry gait. His head and his leg-, however, do not appear to be paying much attention to each "Uio.. His mi id seems to have wandered off on some distant t pic, while his feet are nutting i.i a stock of mus cular energy which will facilitate digestio i. ' Ho generally u -es a Slight cane vigoroualv. | lie li es not object to congenial company, j He lo ks ab.iut aud sees everything that is pausing. dhon xt senator is LMimi Stanford, a I somewhat ngml man of middle Stature, i, u t |of bread and p overfill frame. Me naiki Hk" a man who was tho architect and biIHP "f fortune which ioiiti up over a score of milhous. He has a h nvy full face i with n ah ri bristling beard uidshii.vv grav eyebrow*, lio inn a wtvag ■lo k "ti , too tin face, but is on*, of the ! itdefo*, of ' itieo nod n H'tih. lie is Invariably accom |i*uid bv "Mae,'au ohi-tilit* IV.e .imgtou | oorTosp 'udent, now Iu nrtv.il* s. rotary | ** <1 la,'! turn at Use Washington n ami u. "Mac’s” ord ?rs are never to be out of sight or call. It is said the ■dU’iugtiLheil Califor nia!! is in coustant oppreu nsion of even his st ong and vigorous babes succumbing to ailme ts or accidents, Ibe senator carries a cane which would tire an ordinary man, but to him it seems light a> a rattan. The senator usually hails a hack to carry him up the sharp declivity of Capit 1 Hill. Allison usually starts out earlv from his home near Thomas circle, anl drops in at tile departments e.t route until he strikes the avenue, when ha lights out with a busi ness-like gait. The senatorial joker, Vance of North Carol na, can be seen tnree blocks off spreading himself along ti e broad side walks of tae avenue. He has a peculiar motion. lie walks with his feet wide apart as.d toes pointing at angles of about sixty degrees from the lire of direction. His mo tion is rapid aud accompanied by a pendu lum motion of his powerful arms. Blair of New Ram; shire gets over the ground like a single-footed racker. Payne, the Standard G.l senator from Ohio, has a walk like a fusry old maid. He minces his motions and acts as if something would snap if he should step out. The patriarch of congress, Justin S. Mor rill of Vermont, has ou grown the vigorous stage of much walking. Sometimes he takes a short stroll among the ebbing and flowing throng on the avenue, but his car riage is always near by to receive him when fatigue overtakes him. His l<earing is rery aristocratic, his wain that of a gentleman of leisure. Moody, one of the new senators, has a “Sankey” sort of a walk, an old-fashioned methodical gait, w ith c nsiderable appear ance uf sanctimony beiug carried around. Ingalls has a Moody method in his bear ing, but not after the style of the senator from South Dakota. Ingalls looms above the elevation of his plestrian neighbors. His eyes, therefore, see n to be gazing un obstructedly over their heads iuto a mental rumination. Every now and then he will come down to avenue realities by pausing to look into the shop windows. He usually, on a stroll, carries a cane, and punctures his meditations aud his steps as he moves along. Frank Hiscock of New York steps out like tho major general in “Fatinitza.” He always wears a double-breasted frock coat, which ho buttons across his broad front, and an overcoat, which is allowed to show tho silk linings of the lapel. He walks like a person in constant belief that he is being admired. Dolph. the boss sm Tier of the Senate leak-smelling committee, parades himself daily, with both hands in his pockets and a ponderous gold watch, chain, and seal dangling on the abd minal region. He is not much on dress. Ills hat looks like the tile of the last century. Edmunds is not a regular walk >r. Eques trianism is his forte. He has the bearing of a man of weighty intellect. lie stoops in a studious way, and moves with a long, easy step. Hale is the dapper man of the Senate. Ho dresses neatly, and gets over the ground in a finicky way. Hawley starts out well, and on the first quarter steps up briskly, hut later makes frequent halts on the . urb to look out for u street car, w liich he seldom takes. The junior senator from Pennsylvania, “Mat” Quay, is not much of a walker. He sometimes sets out, b it never goes over the whole course. He is a thoughtful walker. He always has the an, oaranca of a person in a deep study. Sherman i3 seen afoot more seldom thau any other senator. He is tall and sinewy. Wnen ho is seen afoot in public he steps along with nervous tread. Sawyer of Wiscon-in is short, heavy and bow-legged, and wains with a rolling gait. Wilson of Towa gets along with a busi ness air. He puts on no frills and never seems to be interested in his surroundings. Voorhees of Indiana, “the tall sycamore of tha Wabash,” does all his walking below hi- hips, which gives him a sliding gait. Cockrell of Missouri walks like the father of a young aid growing family, a cradle rocking style, tvniau, while not graceful, has much domestic merit in it. Gorman of Maryland has a graceful, brisk walk. On the avenue he passes everything. Eystis of Louisiana sometimes takes a “constitutional” down tho avenue, but he is not fond of exertion in that way. Gray, who was Clovol md’s first choice for tho chief justiceship of the Supreme Court, is a tall, handsome maa and a graceful walker. Evarts has very rarely walked to the cap itol, and since his sight has failed he has not been seen abut in public. H-arst, the California “Forty-niner,” shuffles along at a fairly rapid gait. Mitchell, of Oregon, looks and w alks like a busy merchant. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, gets along like a man of business going homo to dinner. Plumb of Kansas has a very swaggering gait. He foots it down the avenue with both arms swinging and his head tossed in the air. Stewart r,f Nevada works over the ground in an easy, loose-jointed way. Teller walks along like a gentleman not overburdened with public or private care. Vest of Missouri is very short, but gets over the ground wit 1 a military gait. In styles the senators combine healthful exercise and public duty. “CUT IT DOWN TO A STICK.” A Newspaper Man in a Hurry to Get Married. From the Few York World. Ashland, Wis.. March 22.—Wi1l Hooker was managing editor of the Ashla and Daily News for several months, and while here he fell iu love with , the pretty stepdaughter of J. S.

Editor Morning Fries: In vour issue of the -*th Inst, you devtte a third of a eclumn to me and read the article, "Maipheus in a Bad Way.” I am in no bad way and you have no right to hold me up to ridicule or contempt. I had been charged by Mr. Greenlaw with having tokl a falsehood. I had told no falsehood. 1 was corroborated by the testimony of the only three persons who were present at the conversation between us. When I subsequently met Mr. Greenlaw I punished him as I believed he de served. I was indictel for assault with intent to murder and convicted of assault and battery. Aou say: “But the absence of a material wit ness, it is sail, prevented the state from mak ing out its case." The state announced ready, no witness was claimed by the solicitor, the prosecutor, or by any one else in my hearing, or tn the progress of the case, as being absent. The first time I have heard of said absent wit ness is in your report of the case. 1 stood my trial fairly. I was convicted of assault and battery (which 1 never denied) by an honest jury, and I was sentenc'd by an up right judge to pay a fine of 8100 and costs, which I pail. It is not true that Mr. Lee T. Mann, my for mer parmer, “skippxi.” It is not tme that “some days after. Air. Greenlaw, while passing Maipheus’ place of business, was followed by Alalph“us and his partner, Mann, and Maipheus knocked Greenlaw down, choked and beat him, and when colored witnesses near by pulled him off his victim, Maloheus gave the prostrate man a partiug kick.” It is true that Greenlaw did pass my place of busine.s;. and that I did punish him, but Air. Alann did not aid me. On the contrary be took hold of me and caused me to desist from further punishment of Mr. Green law. Air. Greenlaw was not my “victim.” He is a man tailer than I am. as heavy as I am, and about the same age. No colored witnesses pulled me off. It is not true that I was arrested by Detective AVetherhorn and “last night was looking for a bondsman.” I knew of no warrant until my counsel, on this morning seeingyour statement, sent over to inquire if a warrant had been issued, and finding that such was the case, I immediately went to Justice Naughtin, asked what my bond would be. and within thirty min utes gave the required security.
