THIS ENDS THE SESSION.
THE LEGISLATURE TO STAND AD
JOURNED AT MIDNIGHT.
Tte Senate's Attempt to Resur-ect
the Appropriation for the Branch
Colleges Voted Down—The Members
Unable to Re-Ist the Alluring Music
of a Passing- Band.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—At midnight
to-morrow, according to Mr. 1 Ark’s resolu
tion adopted m the House this morning,
the legislature will stand adjourned until
the second Wednesday In July. Consider
able discussion ensued, and no less than five
amendments wore proposed looking to
further extension of this sees oa, and con
vening in Janurary, but the Lark resolu
tion was more to the taste of the members.
In fact, several have already drawn their
per diem, and are at home regardless of the
demands of the state road complication.
Messrs. Hill and O’Brien advocated ad
journment Saturday night.
Messrs. Calvin and Goodwin, as a com
promise, suggested Monday night.
a farmer’s plba.
Mr. Smith of Decatur wanted the House
to adjourn sin* die to-morrow evening.
In supporting the resolution to that effect,
he said: “I want to see if the farmers, who
have talked so much in advocacy of a
forty days' session, will vote like they talk."
He, too, was a farmer, but his amendment
was killed.
A debate like that of last week, when the
branch college fight was at its hottest, was
repeated on taking up the general appro
priations act to concur In the Senate
amendments* Whsn that for the resurrec
tion of the colleges came under review,
friends and foes took their old positions.
Messrs. Twitty and Berner had some wordy
passages.
huff’s plea.
Mr. Huff warned the members not to kill
the branch colleges. Thrfee years ago, he
Showed, Georgia did not contribute one
cent to the publics schools, where now over
91.000,000 was appropriated. Of this
amount the negroes would receive $400,000,
and they only paid $48,000. “ Close the
school doors on your sons, ’’said he, "but I
don’t see how you can point with any pride
to your legislative service if you do so. ”
The vote against reinstating the branch
nollegce was 99 nays to G 6 yeas.
The Harvey aliey question, being an
effort of the Georgia Southern railroad to
close aa alley in Maoon, which was ad
vfcrsedly acted on in the House yeetorday,
was reconsidered on motion of Mr. Baxter.
Mr. Huff consenting, with an understand
ing that be should be notified before tfae
lull is called up.
RUNNING AFTER THE BAND.
During the morning the passing of a
brass baud drew the members to the win
dow, until the speaker bad to remonstrate
with them, by saying that he would excuse
all members who wished to go outside, but
that those remaining in the hall should keep
their seats. The Land was advertising a
show.
A large part of the morning session was
devoted to the Senhte bill for second read
ing. When the bill regulating the sale of
fertilisers by requiring inspection from the
sacks came up, Mr. moved that the
stats erect warehouses in which the ordin
aries of the counties cau file their samples.
The law requires the ordinary to receive
Samples and if he deem auy worthless to
bend them to State Chemist Lewis.
A bit of flippanoy was voted down and
the bill passed.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
During the afternoon the House was en
gaged with House and Senate bills up for
passage. They were strictly local, being
mostly for corporation charters.
Mr. Uyals offered a resolution, which was
adopted, urging that the Georgia delegation
in congress, putting aside all other legis
lative work, exercise their utmost endeavor
to relieve the existing stringency of the
ihoney situation, and that Gov. "Norluen
furnish each congressman with a copy of the
resolution.
A DEBATE ON BROKERS.
The House spent over uu hour to-night at
tempting to decide on a distinction between
bucket shops and legitimate brokerage when
the general tax act was being read. Mr.
Seay held there was none, and wanted
the £IO,OOO tax to apply to both, that clerks
might be kept from sending their spare dol
lars for margins.
Mr. Humphries took a decided stand
against ail such transactions as dealing in
lutures.
Mr. Lewis held that where money passed
from the broker to the owner of the stuff
purchased the state should onlv levy a tax
of #ieo.
Mr. Heed felt that SSOO would be paid by
the brokers, but the SI,OOO imposed in the
Senate amendment would drive out all but
one or two.
OREEK TO MANY MEMBERS.
The brokerage terms used in the debate
were not followed intelligibly by many of
the members. “Margins,” "puts aud calls,”
and "long and short* of the market were
meaningless phrases to them. They sustained
the Senate amendment, however. Mr.
Hartridge endeavored to show the House
that a #I,OOO tax on brokers would orurh
out all but two firms of the ten or twelve iu
the state, and that these two firms owned a
private wire, and welcomed the SI,OOO tax
os killing off competition.
THE MEN WHO CAN STAND IT.
The only two firms in Georgia operating
private wire are Youngblood & Haas of
Atlanta and J. F. Lyons & O. of Macon.
No names, of course, were mentioned in the
debate. Mr. Youngblood occupied a seat
on the floor during the discussion, and was
pointed to by Mr. Seay of Floyd when he
was arraigning the bucketshop3, and by
Mr. Huff when he advocated adopting tho
Senate amendment, whioh the House did.
Commercial and collecting agencies will
be taxed SIOO, and not SIOO in each county,
as originally provided.
Two new bills were introduced to be
■helved until next summer.
SEAY’S LITTLE JOKE.
One of these is by Mr. Seay, and will take
flrst rank on the list of unique legislation.
It is a bill providing a revenue for the
branch colleges by levying and
collecting an annual tax on all un
married male persons, excepting widowers,
as follows: Bet weeu 21 and 36 vears of age
$25; 36 to 40, SSO; 41 to 45, 's7s; 46 to 50,
$100; 51 to 55, $125; 56 to 60, $150; over 60,
S2OO. While the bill was being read mem
bers were prodding one another in tne ribs,
jpculnrly making application of the
amounts.
Mr. Jackson introduced a resolution
authorizing the governor and treasurer to
negotiate a loan of #200,000 to carry into
effect Mr. Boiffeuillet’s bill providing fir
the quarterly payment of teachers.
S VALUE OF THE STATE ROAD.
Th Examiners in Their Report Put
it at $6,364,032.
Atlanta, Oa., Dec. 19.—The appraisers
appointed under the lease act completed
their labors th-day and filed their report in
the executive office. The total value of the
state road property is $6,364,93$ 63. Tho
lWxi commission of 1888 gave a total valu

A NSW STATE ROAD SCHEME.
1 The Substitute for the Zachry Resolu
tion Not Yet Agreed On.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 19.—The Western
and Atlantic committee of the House spent
the entire day laboriously perfecting the
substitute for the Zachry resolution, which
is to be reported in the morning. The Su
preme Court judges were called on by Chair
man Atkinson, who inquired if they would
undertake the decision of such legal points
as might be referred to them by the pro
posed commission of eight or by the gov
ernor. Col. Stablman wa also consulted
on certain points connected with the road
on which the committee desired to be en
lightened. The substitute agreed upon
leaves but little either of ti.e original
Zachry resolution or of the Walker amend
ment.
ITS PROVISIONS.
It provides that tlis commissioners shall
be eight in number, appointed, as Mr.
Zachry proposed, by the governor. The
concurrence of six members of the board
will be necessary before a verdict can be
reached. The commissioners or me gov
ernor will refer all legal questions Incident
to the invetiga*ion to the supreme c urt
judges. The award of the board is not to
be final, but the governor may exercise the
veto power upon it. The substitute is
thought to be acceptable to the lessees.
It embodies the only proposition upon
which the committee seemed able to agree.
The House is supposed to be ready to sanc
tion it, but whether it will meet with the
approval of the Senate is more doubtful.
The sentiment of that body is that the de
cision of the issues at stake should not be
delegated but undertaken by the represen
tatives of the people themselves. Never per
haps had the legislature twu more important
or difficult problems to settle iu a single day
than the present assembly will in this and
the branch college question, on both of
which opinions they differ so radically that
it is hard to see how an adjournment In
twenty-four hour* can be made practicable.
ALL AT SEA AGAIN.
Atlanta, Ga, 1 a. m. Dec. 20.—The
committee held another meeting to-night
and adjourned at a late hour, quite at sea
as to what they will report in the morning.
Three prooositious were before them when
they separated:
1. To submit the claims as above to a
commission of eight, five of whom, if agree
ing, may mafco up a verdict, which shall be
final if approved by the governor. Should
be disapprove it an appeal may be taken
to the supreme court, tho agreement of
that body to be conclusive,
2. To refer to the commission as before,
the verdict to be reached as before and the
governor having the veto power. Either
party dissatisfied may, under this arrange
ment, appeal to the supreme court, and
from its decision to the commission again,
and then again from the c >mmission to the
court, the second verdict of the latter to be
binding.
3. Refor to four superior court judges to
be selected by the governor and the chief
justice of the supreme court, the latter act
ing as president: the decision of this tribunal
to be final.
A choice between these propositions is ex
pected to be reached in the morning,
TAXATION OP RAILROADS.
MaJ. Ryal s' Bill Passes the Senate as
Amended.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19. —Maj. Ityals’ bill
authorizing municipalities to tax railroads
passed the Senate this morning, but so
amended as to prevent terminal points from
monopolizing the benefits of the tax on roll
ing stock. This is to be pro-rated for pur
poses of taxation among the various towns
along each line of road, the relative
proportion of each to be determined by the
length of track lying within its corporate
limits.
The Senate also disposed of the tax bill.
The committee amendments distinguishing
bucket-shops from exchanges doing business
through tue regular boards of trade, and
taxing the latter but SI,OOO, instead of the
SIO,OOO required of tbe former, was adopted,
as was the proposed reduction of tho sleep
ing-car tax from 5 to 2% per cent, on the
gross earnings.
THE TAX ON AGENCIES.
The amendment offered by Mr. Johnson
of the Thirty-ninth district proposing to
tax commercial and collecting agencies *l5O
for each established office was altered so as
to reduce it to SIOO and agreed to, as in
dicated elsewhere.
The desire of tne legislature to adjourn
t i-morrow has almost grown feverish. A
resolution to this end, similar to that
adopted and transmitted by the House, was
offered in the (Senate. Though both went
over under the rules, there is no doubt that
adjournment will be determined on unless
the branch college or state road muddle
should prevent.
The bill to amend the constitution so as
to legalize tbe reading of local bills when
not engrossed the first and second times by
captions only, was passod, after being so
amended as to include bank and railroad
charters.
The following house bills also passed: In
creasing the salary of tho sheriff of the
supreme court to $1,000; appropriating
$50,000 to the deaf and dumb asylum for
improvements; making theft from vessels
of property worth less than SSO a misde
meanor; providing that the state shall bear
the cost of trials for all effeuses committed
by convicts while in the penitentiary; to
raise $100,030 by taxation for the creation
of a sinking fund to pay off maturing state
bonds
TWITTY’B BILL BHHLVBD.
The Farmers Will Talk It Over at
Home During the Recess.
Atlanta, Ga., Dee. 19.—1f tbe Twitty
bill menaces the interests of the farmers as
seriously as it* enemies insist, the chances
now are great that it will never become a
law. Some of its strongest supporters ap
pear to have lost oonfidence in it, and one
of them to-day had it permanently tabled,
with the understanding that it shouid
come up for consideration no more this
winter. Daring the recess tho al
liance senators will confer with their
constituents, nnd if its demerits be so con
spicuous this deliberation should result in its
withdrawal or defeat. The evil which Mr.
Twitty has undertaken to correct is one
which appeals to tho farmerwith tremendous
force. That he should juuip at anything
offering the prospect of relief without mak
ing a very rigid examination to ascertain
whether ho ran the risk of burning his Au
gers was to be expected.
A REVULSION OT FEELING.
But a revulsion has taken place, and,
warned by the constant protests of business
men against the measure, he has decidod fo
examine the novel affair a lit ie more crit
ically before embracing it. The impression
is gaining ground among tho former’s
friends that ho has been on the point of
taking a buzz saw to his bosom. A peculiar
feature of the history of the bill in
the legislature is that the
lawyers of the ors-mbly, who opposed it
with such earnestness in public, have in
private de iared all along that personally
and professionally they wished for nothing
more than to see it pass. Be that as it
may, their oppos.tion proved a potent factor
in securing its passage at first. Many
farmer legislators wlm felt m doubt voted
for the bill apparently on uo other grouuds.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1890.
MACX3N B BIG TRIAL.
All tbe Prisoners Implicated by the
Confeaulono Already Made.
Macon, Ga, Doc. 19.—The confessions of
two more conspirators were brought out in
the Forsyth murder conspiracy trial In the
federal court here to-day. Great interest is
shown in the case, and the court room is
crowded. The thrilling confessions were
listened to with an intensity seldom
seen in a court room. Certainly the
incidents of the last few days warrant this
aod continued interest. There is a strain
I between the judge and counsel, after the
difference of yesterday, that is particularly
marked. Judge Hper, however, treats the
counsel on botn sides with equal deference,
l and is firm in all his rulings. As one of the
lawers expressed It to-day, however, there
is danger of exploding a volcano at every
step.
MOORE’S CONFESSION.
The confession of Moore implicates every
one of the prisoners, with the exception of
Hall, and is very damaging as corroborating
Burch. Strenuous efforts were made by
the defense to impeach Witness Bonannon,
who testifie 1 to Moore’s statements made to
him under the impression that the witness
knew everything. The confession of
Clements to Mr. Erwin, the district at
torney, is very sensational. It implicates
all th“ prisoners and Luther A. Hall as
the prime mover. He minutely describes
the murder of Capt. Forsythe and the con
spirators’ escape. He saved himself in every
possible way by tbe statement that he was
drawn into it first, and then threatened
with death at once if he did not help carry
out the pians of the conspirators. His con
fession will be finished to-morrow.
Bohannon, the witness who was on the
stand to-day, and who was the first to re
veal the plot, says that ho is iu hourly fear
of his life, and lias received a number of
threatening letters since the trial com
menced. /
GOGGINS mat be FREBD.
Federal Officials Think He la* the
Victim of a Plot.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—A month or
more ago Caleb Goggins was found guilty
of the murder of Joseph Wright at Marietta,
under circumstances which created the
suspicion that he had fallen the victim of a
plot. Both Wright and Goggins wore im
portant witnesses against certain operators
of bliud tigers at Marietta, against whom
indictments bad been found in the federal
c urts. Pending the trial of these cases,
Wright, on venturing home, was murdered,
and tile blind tiger men fastened the crime
on Goggins, thus getting both witnesses
against them out of the way.
SIX ARRESTS.
The grand jury of the United States court
has been investigating the case for a long
time, and this morning deputy marshals
lodged in the Atlanta jail George Langes,
A. Whiteman, and Thomas Alexander,
Chsrles Porter, Joseph Edward, Will
Dealer, and Ike Smith, negroes, all mem
bers of the whisky selling gang. They wore
arrested at Marietta, and are charged with
tho murder of Wright, and with conspiring
to secure the conviction of Goggins. The
latter was given a life sentence iu the peni
tentiary. His release depends ’on the con
viction of the prisoners incarcerated to-day.
FATS OF THB COLLEGES.
The Fight Between the Two Houses
Now On in Earnest.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 19.—The fight be
tween the houses on the branch college
question began in earnest late this after
noon, when the appropriations bill was re
turned to the Senate, with several amend
ments proposed by that body, rejected,
among them the clause reviving the col
leges. Mr. Ellington moved that tho Senate
recede, while Mr. Terrell offered as a sub
stitute that it insist on its amend
ment. To get rid of the imme
diate settlement of the question the
senators took recourse in adjournment. A
majority were cleariy with Mr. Terrell, but
the longing for inimediato adjournment
soenis extremely dangerous to the colleges,
as the weaker members will be tempted to
abundon their cause rather than incur the
necessity for committees on conference and
tbe attendant delay. If the institutions are
to die they will probably be slaughtered
to-morrow. The amendment providing
that tbe exreuses of yearly visits permitted
patients of tho deaf and dumb asylum come
out of the #17,000 appropriated for support
of that institution, was also rejected by the
House, and tbe Senate has receded.

Minneapolis. Minn., Dec. 19.—A special
to tbe Journal from Rapid City, 8. D., says
the reports of engagements between troops
a? ’ Indians at Daly’s ranch and other
points are false. Tone have bean three
skirmishes between Col. M. H. Daly's com
mand of settlers and cowboys, numbering
51. The last one, on Tuesday, was a hot
one. The Indians attempted to burn tbe
hay stacks at Dalv's rarchr, but were
driven off by Col. Daly and ten
men. A band of 150 hostile* are
moving westward fifty miles north
of here, in Butte county. Eighty men
of the Ninth cavalry, and sixty Cheyenne
scouts under Capt. Moore have been sent
after them. Seve > comnaniasof the Seven

A HYMN ON THE GALLOWS.
Mount Pleasant's Murderer Meets
Death Fearlessly.
C.,Dec. 19.—Adam Mon
gin, a negro, about 30 years old, wa? hanged
to-day at Mount Plea-ant for the murder
of anot her negro,na med Jackson,in Berkeley
county last May.
Mongin met his dea'h very calmly, saying
he was going straight to heaveu. There
was not much of a to-do around the gal
lows. He came out enveloped in a shroud,
and when the noose was adjusted began to
sing, “On Zion’s bright and flowery
mount.” The preparations were in the
meantime completed, and he was told to bid
good-by to the colored minister, which he
did. His neck was broken, and he died
almost instantly. He had no relatives but
an aged father, who took bis body. Mon
gin shot his victim in the Lack, but claimed
that it was self-defense, ou the ground that
Jackson had a pistol when he shot him. No
pistol was found. Mongin was defended by
the ablest colored lawyer in the state.
