Newspaper Page Text2 CONGRESS NEAR ITS END. IT WILL ADJOURN BY OCTOBER FIRST. No Provision Will be Made for the Resurrection of the Force Bill Other Than the Informal Agreement Al ready Entered Into—The Plans as to Reciprocity. Washington, Sept 3. —Congress is to adjourn by Oct 1 to meet the first Monday in December without making any farther provision fcr the future resurrection of the force bill than the indefinite under standing among gentlemen with which Senators Hoar and Spooner consoled them selves in defeat, under which the force bill is to get anew lease of life next session. The tariff bill is to be put through as quickly as possible and then adjournment is to follow as quickly as may be. The only seri ous obstacle in the way since the burial of the force bill was the reciprocity question. TAKING time by the yore lock. That has been practically removed by an informal agreement bet ween Senators Al drich and Hiscock, who will be the Senate republican members of the conference com mittee, and Messrs. McKinley, Burrows, Gear and the other ways and means repub licans. AU the senators and representa tives being anxious to get away, they came to the conclusion that they would better save time by holding their conference before the bill was really in con ference, so they got together in more way* than one. None of them was an original reciprocity man; all of them rejected the reciprocity idea when Secretary Blaine first suggested it, and for three months after ward. All of them want no more recipro city now than will satisfy the demand In the west, particularly, which Secretary Blaine's appeals to the people have created. WHAT THEY WANT. They want simply a reciprocity amend ment that will be good enough "till after the election.’’ So they have agreed to take the Aldrich amendment or something like it, meanwhile expressing in various forms their feeling that the idea is a sentimental one and chimerical one of no practical value. Senator Sherman said this in his taik yesterday. Senator Edmund* said it more pointedly to-dav. In tho House it will be even more sharply said, but there is to be no general and sanguinary contest on the floor, because that would widen the divis ions in the party and delay adjournment. DECATUh’B DEMOCRATS. Maaton O’Neal Nominated for Sena tor from the Eighth District. Bainbridge, Ga., Sept. 3.—The demo cratic convention of the Eighth senatorial district, composed of Mitchell, Miller and Decatur counties, met here to-day and nominated Hon.

The resolutions instruct the senator and representatives to vote for Gen. Gordon for the United States Senate at the next meet ing of the legislature. THE COUNTY CONVENTION. The county convention to nominate two candidates for representative* will be held on Saturday, and a lively little racket is ex pected, there being grtat dissatisfaction over the two names proposed for universal acceptance by the alliance politicians. Au independent democratic ticket may be put out against their recommendation, in which event there is a good chance for Decatur county to be reprosadfc by a couple of ne groes or radicals. KNIVB3 MAKE THE BLOOD SPURT. Two White Men and a Negro Look Horns at Borne. Rome, Ga., Sept. 3.—This afternoon three men, two white and one a negro, engaged in a fight at the Rome and Decatur depot.

Augusta, Ga., Sept. 3.—The Richmond county primary election passed off quietly to-day.

B. C. Weeks to Run for Congress In the First District. Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 3.—lt has been rumored for some weeks that Edmund C. Weeks, United States marshal of the northern district of Florida, would be a candidate for nomination for congress from the First district on the republican ticket. The Morning News corresoondent now has it from inside authority that Marshal Weeks nas signified his willingness to acocpt the nomination, notwithstanding tho more than 11,000 democratic majority in the dis trict, and that his name will be pl-.ced upon the ticket by the executive oommitiee without the expense of calling a conven tion. There has been no new developments in county republicau politics, owing to the abserioe of Marshal Weeks in New York, but it is still said that they will run a white ticket if they can find enough uieu with while skins to accept. L. D. ball’s nomination. Maj. Leroy D. Ball, the republican nom inee ror controller, is a resident of Talla hassee. He has taken no active part in politics for some time and will not under any circumstances take part in republican conventions, therefore his nomination was somewhat of a surprise. There are little fringes from the reconstruction days hang ing to his record, which the citizens of Tal laimssee were wont to forget, but if he takes an active part in the campaign they will very likely be brought to light again. Some of bis friends say they do not believe that he will allow his name to remain on the ticker. He is superintendent and a large stockholder of the Tallahassee Ice Manu facturing Company, and is also a successful orchardist and strawberry grower. DUBLIN’S NEW RAILROAD.

Business in every line is looking up and all the stores and business men are doing well. This is brought about by the opening of the fishing season and the increase in the phosphate business.

MRS. ABBOTT THOMAS, Nek Miss Mattie Gaslaudst Harder. Th following merited tribute is taken from the Darien Gazette of August 30 On Wednesday evening last just as tbe twi light shadows were settling over the earth the gates of 1 aradise swung open, for angels were waiting, as husband and friends watched with bated breath, so gently did the soul of Mattie Hardee Thomas wing its way to the fields above tbe stars, there to join kindred immortals. This lovable woman, so recently come among us made many friends and held them In one great loving thought. Those who knsw her best will always feel sweet emana tions from association with one whose soul was so closely knit with God. She was one very tender in her nature, with much of womanly sympathy in one so young, and gathered bles sings as t he)- passed. Though separated from her family and girlhood friends she had in her last hours here the untiring attention and care of friends and her devoted husband. The hearts of a numerous acquaintance will go out to her bereaved family in the loss of one of their brightest and best. Mrs Thomas was the wife of Mr. Abbott Thomas, and tbe daughter of Maj. and Mrs. Charles S. Hardee of Isie of Hope, near Savannah. Her remains were car ried there for interment on Thursday morning. If so beloved and mourned by those among whom she had lived so short a while, how much moro in that home she had brightened with a joyous childhood, and blessed with a loving, gentle and brave womanhood. The writer, who lays this little tribute upon the grave of one of the brightest, most loyal and purest women he has ever knowD, offers, with a large circle of friends, his heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved family.
