surance Companies—Making Cp the
Contingent Fund Shortage Big
Batch of New Bills Introduced-Sa
vannah’s Mayor Gets the Veto
Power.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 3.—To-day a* a
bus}' session of the House, Up to 11 o'clock
the morning was crowded with Interesting
bills, a.d the promise is that the general
tax act and appropriations act wiil consume
almost the entire time of the rest of the
present sessson, unless afternoon and night
sessions are resorted to.
Mr. Whitfield introduced a bill to-day,
designed to prevent combinations of rates
or pools by insurance companies, or their
agents, for the purpose of defeating compe
tition in the insurance business. The hill
was referred to the finance committee, and
Messrs. Denny and Dean of Home appeared
before the committee, nu l urged its pas
sage. The bill is very similar to one passed
by the Senate in 1877, styled the
Dean bill, but defeated in the
House through the aleged lobbying of the
Southeastern Tariff Association. if tne
bill passes, local insurance companies will
be able to compete. lusurauca men admit
that the rate is lower in Louisiana than in
Georgia, where local companies are pro
tected by legislation. The bill will in all
probability be reported favorably.
THE LIBERTY CONTEST.

Intosh, made a motion to reconsider the ac
tion of the election corumi tee in seating

argument was that Jones would have been

voted down.

itself to the regular order, and several
privileged motions were objected to.
The bill supplementing the contingent
fund, which has been exhausted for several
weeks, was favorably reported by the com
mittee of the whole and passed.

DAWSON’S SLAYERS.
The Trio Make Statements to the
Justice of the Peace.
Columbus, Ga. , Dec. 3.— The murderers
of Dawson made their statement to-day to
tbe justice of tbe peace and the usual num
ber of visitors. The most important was
that of Robert Howard, who stubbed
Dawson, and is the only one who could be
convicted of murder, judging from
the testimony given up to this
writing. As he took his stand
the hundreds of spectators s-emed to rise
from their seats in order to hear and see the
criminal. From the beginning until the
close be fairly electrified his audience by
his straightforward manner and the bold
ness with which he handled his subject. He
said that there ware certain family troubles
that caused the difficulty, ami that after
his trial by a jury everything would
be understood.
DAWSON FOREWARNED.
He said that Dawson knew that they
would have trouble whenever they met
face to face, and that when Daweon ap
proocned him his bro.her exclaimed “Look
out, Brother Bobbie," and as soon as it was
said he stabbed him to the hilt with his
bowieknlfe.
Bickerttaff denied ever having entered
into any conspiracy to kill Dawson, and tbe
first that he knew of the tragedy was tbe
firing.
Only two speeches have been made up to
this time, and they have thrown very little
Ught on the subject. The speeohes for the
defense will be by Messrs. Little, Garrard
and M orrill and those for the prosecution
by Messrs. Carson and Sanifcrd.
A GEORGIA TICHBORNH CASE
A Man Oltumlug to Bea Dead Doc
tor’s Bon Contests His Will.
Atlanta, Ga., Doc. 3.— Nichols vs.
Nichols is the title of a sensational suit
which has juft been brought to a conclusion

Hiram Nichols of this city, the fruit of a
clandestine marriage entered into by the
doctor in his youth before he came south.
The stronger sought to break the doctor's
wiil in favor of hu family here and share
IIS' benefits.
THE CLAIMANT’S STOUT.
His father, he said, did not know he wns
alive when the will was mado, having left
his mother soon after the alleged marriage,
moved away, married again and ceased to
communicate with the claimant, who con
fessed that he had never seen him or his
mother. It was shown in the evidence that
the doctcfr had frequently denied that he
was married to the elai i unit's mother,
though he appeal's to have known her well
Tbe judge charged tUo jury that if they be
hoved the young man’s mother, was legally
married to the doctor, and that he was, in
deed, tbe doctor’s son, and his father, at the
time of making the will, believed him to be
dead, the claimant would tie entitled to par
ticipate in the estate. The finding was in
favor of the Georgia heirs.
