NEW BILLS IN ATLANTA.
A COUPLE OF THEM NOVEL IN
THEIR PROVISIONS.
On* Proposes to Forbid the Remarry
ing of Couples Legally Separated,
Except for Infidelity-Carriers of Guns
May Have to Take Out a License—
A List of the Chairmen of the Sen
ate ComnUtieet
Atlanta, Nov. 12. Persons contemplat
ing divorce as a remedy for domestic ilia
may be trying a much more desperate ex
periment tnan they think for, as the legis
lature has just been called upon by Mr.
Hogan of Lincoln to forbid the remarrying
of couples legally separated, except for in
fidelity. This would make divorce a very
serious matter, and the courts may be
troubled with comparatively few applica
tions in the future.
a negro rNivxßsrrr.
Mr. F.jpe of Oglethorpe introduced in the
House to-day a bill providing for a nogro
school in connection with the state univer
sity to accept Georgia’s part of the dona
tion from the national government, which
proposes to apply a portion of the proceeds
from tne sale of public lands to the support
of colleges of agricultural and mecoamcal
arts. A seusatioa was caused
by the reading of this bill,
and it is thought that the new institution,
if established, will get every substantial
state as well as federal aid, failing heir to
tbe SB,OOO anjual appropriation withdrawn
from the Atlanta 'University under the
Glenn bill of 1887, which created such a stir
at the north. Twentv-four thousand doL
lam has accumulated in the treasury since
then, which would be a handsome sum to
set up business with.
A LICENSE ON GUN CARREERS.
Mr. Maddox of Clinch proposes to re
quire everybody who wants to use a gun to
take out a license and give bond for good
behavior while carrying so dangerous an
engine of destruction. The bond, which
under his bill must be given before the or
dinary by all who sally forth with long
range firearms, restricts such citizens from
violating or obstructing the law.

ABANDONING THE CAUCUS.
It looks as if there would be no further
attempt to transact tbe business of the leg-
Glature in a caucus debarring non-alliauce
members amf admitting alliance men, some
of whom do not belong to the general
assembly. Since the notable kick in
tbe first caucus there has been no
attempt in that direction, and last night a
resolution was passed confining the weekly
alliance mootings to more social intercourse,
and declaring that no action shall be taken
while the gatherings are in session to politi
cally bind tbe members. Col. Livingston,
therefore, will not lead the assembly by the
nose, and there is no fear of star chamber
legislation.

RIVALSOFTHE DIAMOND.
THE NATIONAL AND PLAYERS'
LEAGUES IN SESSION.
Consolidation of the Two Organiza
tions Favored by the Latter, and
Delegatee Sent to New York to
Talk It Over—The Long ng for War
Dead.
New York. Not. 12. —A meeting of the
National League of base ball delegates began
to-day. From a talc with the League mag
nates tsis m rning, the impression is re
ceived that the Players’ League, great rival
of the National League, has virtually dis
solve!, while the Players’ League have ap
pointed committees and transacted bu-i
--ness with the idea of continuing
another n. No matter what they do,
the National League magnates will have to
be consulted. If they nu ts with the
stronger clubs of the American Association,
which is now under contemplation, it will
b? virtually carrying out the idea suggested
by the National League several months ago.
Nick Young was re-elec tel president of
the league, ihe championship was for
mally awarded to the Brooklyn club. The
Pittsburg consolidation had" the effect of
making the league men fell happy and
they were confident tnat it was the begin
ning of the dissolution of the Players’
league as far as they could see.
With the consolidation of the clubs
of the Players Leagueand National League
in this city. Brooklyn and Pittsburg a cer
tainty, and tbe Buffalo club on: of the
Players' circuit, it is unlikely that the
financial men behind the Players' League
will attempt to go on with tbe dubs only in
Ci-veland. Philadelphia, Boston and Cincin
nati, and the only thing left for them is
consolidation with the American Associ
ation.
SESSION OX THE PLATERS’ LEAGUE.
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 12. — At the session
of the Players League in this city to-day,
President McAlpine formally presented the
resignation of the New York club. An
opinion from Judge Bacon of New York si:
then read, to the effect that at the time tbe
agreeme it was entered into between the
New York Playe r s’ League dub and the
National Leagueclubof the samecity.it was
understood that the two leagues were to
consolidate. As this has not yet taken
place, the agreement between the New
N Ork dubs would not stand. No action
was taken on tbe resignation, and a com
mitteeconsisting of Messrs. Ward, Prince
and Johuson was appointed to attend the
National League toeeting, now in ses
sion in New York, for the purpose of
placing tbe matter of consolidation before
them. The committee left to-night for
New Y ork. The Players' League dub of
this city was not represented at to-day’s
meeting and the matter of Pittsburg’s
resignation was laid on the table. The
meeting then a.*.j -urned to assemble at the
call of the chairman. As the matter now
stands the feeling is strongly in favor of
consolidation, as all admit that the base
ball war has been a failure.
AN INSURANCE SWINDLE.
A Bad State of Affalrß Shown Up In
the Chicago Failure.
Chicago, Nov. 12, —Attorney General
Hunt filed a bill in the circuit court this
morning to wind up the affairs of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of Chi
cago, and to set aside the deed of assign
ment executed Oct. 28 by the company to
Georg) Hyslap. on the ground of fraud.
X be o.ate auditor caused an examination of
the company’s affairs, to be made a month
ago, and the fact was disclosed that its
liabilities amounted to $ 147,305aud that the
assets were much less.
"account books burned.
The attorney general now charges that
the account books of the company prior to
July 1, 1887, were burned with fraudulent
intent, and that during the last three years
the company has been issuing policies fur a
special cash premium paid without taking a
deposit note or any contingent liabilities
on the part of the insured. The
premiums on such outstanding
policies amounted to $85,851. It is charged
that the officers and directors have wrong
fully paid to themselves at least $51,000.
The assignment is said to;be collusive and
made to defraud the creditors, and the
court is asked to remove Hvsiap and ap
point a receiver. The court is also asked to
dissolve and forfeit the charter of the com
pany and to restrain any disposition of the
assets.

AN ACTRESS' HFART.
A Prominent English Lady Writes an
Experience in Her Life.
"I was invited to a reception at the house
of a great lady in London, says a writer in
the New York World , who had shown me
kindness in many ways, and whom I bad
met through my friend, the late Charles
Reads. She and I were talking together
when when she suddenly said: ‘I want to
introduce you to a friend of mine, a young
officer, who says that he was in your
brother’s regiment, and remembers him
well.’
I felt my heart leap, my brother—my
darling brother—one of nis brother officers!
“Oh,” I exclaimed, “do bring him here, 1
should be so very glad to know him.” The
lady took the trouble to search the rooms
and find him herself and, introducing him
to me, said: “Now you two must be friends
for the sake of Jack, whom we all loved.”
I looked at Capt. Lennox (I will assume
this name for reasons) and thought that is
would be very difficult not to be friends
with such a bright, handsome boy, tor he
only looked one. We entered into conver
sation and soon he was telling me little
anecdotes about my favorite brother.
Some few days after we met again at a
garden party, and, as I had driven down
alone to Richmond, I offered him a seat in
m . carriage back to Knightsbridge, where
his barracks were. He asked permission to
call upon me, and I readily gran led it.
When he arrived ho met my father, who
took a most violent fancv to him. He eamo
to ray house, off and ou, all that summer,
and it was quite pathetic to see him with
my father, tbo old man leaning upon the
strong arm of the young one. They used to
pace up and down the garden together arm
in arm, and frequently stooping at the
window where I was sitting to teil mo some
ridiculous story or anecdote. We were like
three happy children together. People
used to wonder wuat we could possibly find
to laugh so much about.
And then the captain used to come fre
quently, racing ia after parade to show
himself off in his handsome uniform. I
loved to see him in it, he looked so bright
and bonnv, and the perfection of manly
beauty. But I used to tease him and tell
him to go away for a conceited hoy and get
into his mufti.
Strange to say, all this while I had never
spoken to him of his family or relatives; it
never entered my head; he was so mixed up
with my social life tnat I never thought
of it.
One afternoon I was sitting by the fire in
my drawing -room, resting before the labors
of the evening, when the servant entered
with a card and said a lady wished to see
me. I was not very well pleased to receive
any visitors just then, but I told him to
show the lady up. A fevr moments after
she entered the room. She was small of
stature, fair complexion and very beauti
ful, with sad blue eyes. I saw she was
agitated. I took her hand and led her to a
sofa. She tried to speak but could not. I
begged h*'r to be calm, and asked if there
was anything in the world I could do for
her.
She looked very hard at me and said:
“Madam, last night I went to see you act;
you cannot be a wicked woman to play that
part as you did, and yet you are doing an
other woman a most cruel wrong; you are
stealing away her husband from her. Oh,
listen to mo a moment and do not be angry.
I do not appeal to vou for myself, although
I love him so dearly, but for the sake of his
boy (he is so like his father—he has brown
eyes like bunk, and every time Hook at my
child I feel as if my heart would break;
won’t you have pity and give me back my
husband
She burst into tears and fell sobbing at
rav feet. 1 raised her and placed her upon
the sofa.
I was furious— “stealing your husband I
What do you mean? Who is your hus
band ?”
“Capt. Lennox,"’ she sobbed through her
tsars.
“Capt. Lennox your husband! O! for
give me. I did not know—but 1 assure you
1 have not stolen him from you. He is a
visitor here, but I never thought"—l broke
down here. A horrid p ain was clutching
at my heart that I could not understand;
but I managed to comfort her and send her
away with tho assurance that I would do
all in my power to send her husband back
to her.
When she had left I.sat stunned—“brown
eyes like his fattier”—but tho next 1 remem
ber was hearing a well-known step on the
stairs, and a well-known voice calling out:
“All right, sir. 1 will find her—she is
asleep, no doubt, in the drawing room.”
lie came running in and suddenly stooped
at the door when he saw my face. “What
is the matter—are you ill?”
“Ill—no! 1 am not ill; but I am dis
gusted. How dare you come here and de
ceive me and my friends in this manner?
Why did you not tell me you were married?
Go away and never let me see your face
again.”
‘•What do you mean?” said he. “Some
jealous brute has maligned me. Who has
dared to tell you this?”
“Your w in!”
“My wife? My wife —been here!”
“Yes, your wife! and she has told me of
that boy with eves like your;. ‘Brown
eye;, so like his father’;. ’ ”
He strode deliberately across the room
and for the first time took me in his arms.
Oh, merciful God! Then I knew that he had
grown into mv life, and I know that I had
stolen him fiom her. But I pushed him
away and begged him to leave me.
“Leave you, my darling, leave you, and
never look into those eyes agai.i? Leave
you? 1 cannot.”
“But you must. Your honor. Think!
You are an officer and a gentleman. B 9 a
man!”
The words recalled him to bis smses. He
staggered to the dor and gave ono look. I
never saw him again.
“Madam, it is time to dres3 for the the

"Thank God! To-night I play a tragedy!”

W. H. Galivini of Tacoma, Wash , Jose h

I arious committees were appointed, and
the committee on credentials having in con
sideration of contested delegates, reported
in favor of the contestants from Florida
and Massachusetts, who were present, the
i contestees not being present.
The report of trie gtneral secretary show
ing the present financial condition of toe
order and accounting for all the funds whicn
have passed through his hands for the year
was read.
The committee on preparing various pro
posed changes in the by-laws and constitu

row. There has yet been no one spoken of
as a candidate for general master workman
for the coming two years, but there is a
universal feeling that Mr. Powderlv will bo
re-elected.
