TBE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
It Adda a New Department to the
State Pair.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the eociety was held In the drawing-room of
the De Soto last night. This was rather an
innovation, but there were some necessa -y
details for the convention to be arranged,
which compelled the bolding of the meeting.
Gov. Northen presided. There were
present Secretary R. W. Jamison, Oapt. R.
E. Park of Macon, R. W. Anderson of
Bawkinsville, S. D. Brad well, M. Newman
of Sandersvllle, J. C. Clements of Towns,
Pearoe Horn of Dalton, J. D. Boyd of
Griffin, T. J. Tyson of Carters
ville, D. R. Johnson of Black
shear, James Barrett of Augusta.
Geo. H. Jones of Norcroes, principal keeper
of the penitentiary; J. H. Black of Ameri
ca*, Samuel Hape of Hapeville, T. R. Ren
net’. of Camilla, J. O. Waddall of Atlanta.
The oommittee transacted a large amount
of businees. The only business of pnblic im-
Dortance transacted was the decision to
create another department at the state fair,
to be known as the Chautauqua depart
ment, for the advancement of higher educa
tion upon all Unas, and to emphasise the
friendlineaa of the agricultural element of
Georgia to higher education.
Hoo. a. D Brad well, state aebool com
missioner, was selected as sapor.nteud_>nt
of this department, with power to sele-t
two assistants, either from tbe executive
committee or any citlsens cf the state.
Gov. Northen immediately rose and
offered bis services a* one of the
assistants, and pledged binwelf to use all
his efforts in behalf of that feature, not
onlr for tbe present, but ns long os be was
acitisan of fie state of Gtorrla. Cap'.
Bradwei! gladly accepted the offer. This
feature starts out with brilliant protpdfcte of
success.
PARADE OF THE TROOPS.
The Review in tbe Park Extension by
tha Governor.
The military review by the governor this
afternoon will be one of tbe principal events
of the day. The troops will form on the
south side of Liberty street, with tha right
resting on Bull street, at 3:50 o’clock, aud
will move promptly at 4 o’clock down
Liberty to Drayton and thence to the Park
extension In the following order:
The First Volunteer reg msnt of Georgia.
Tbe Savannah Volunteer Guards bat
talion.
The Chatham Artillery.
Tbe Georgia Hussars.
Tbe line will be formed on the weet side
of the parade ground, facing east, and will
present arms as the governor passes along
its front Tbe troops will then march iu
platoons past tbe g jvvrnor, on tbe east side.
All vehicles will ie prohibited driving
oo the parade grounds during the review.
It is a custom which interferes to a con
siderable extant with tbe movements of tbe
military, to say nothing of tbe danger to
ladies and children by being run over.
Mayor McDonough has instructed the
police to put a stop to it to-day, as it is a
violation of tha city ordinance.

same hour as the military, and will follow
the troops to tbe park.

WADDELL NOT WORRIED
The Soclety’a President and the Col
ville Garnlshmeat Proceedings.
Col. Waddell, president of the Agricult
ural Society, was seen by a Morning
News reporter last night and was asked
about the Colville garnishment proceedings
brought against him iu Atlanta Monday.
The president smiled, and said there was
really nothing in it.
"It grows out of an old surety matter,”
said he, "and within the past few weeks, I
have been assured by prominent gentlemen,
representatives of tae family, that all these
matters had been closed up, aud that the
records of tbe court will so show. It is a
little singular that this should have been
sprung at this particular time, and, while I
aud my friends are not much annoyed by
it, it seems to have been done with the in
tention of injuring my standing in the
eociety, but it will fail in its effect.”
Considerable feeling was manifested by
the friends of Col. W addell in speaking of
the action against him, aud they regard it
as done merely to injure him
in his capacity as president
of the society. As Gov. Northen
is still the president of the society and will
be until he turns over bis office to CoL
Waddell to-day the garnishing of CoL
Waddell’s salary could only be a legal
canard.
A member or the executive committee
said last nignt that the sensational garnish
ment of CoL Waddell, whloh
was intended to injure him, had acted as a
boomerang, and CoL Waddell’s friends were
now more numerous than ever, as he had
proven to himself by a thorough canvass of
the members.
Col. Waddell received the following tele
gram last night from Cedartown, his home
for thirty-six years. The telegram'was en
tirely without solicitation:
Csdartown, Ga., Feb. 10, 1891.
Col. John O. Waddell, Core Pulaski House,
Savannah, Ga.:
We condemn the senseless attempt to Injure
you. as 1* evident by the sensation in to-day's
Constitution. There is no foundation for
the garnishment served on Gov. Northen. The
cases have long since been settled, as the
docket in the clerk’s office will show. The peo
ple of Polk county are your friends.

W. C. Knioht,
Clark Superior v. ourt Polk county.
W. F. Hall,
J. W. Barr,
E. W. Clements,
J. O. Hardwick,
I>. B. Treadway,
L. L. Ledbetter.
The names signed to the telegram are
some of tiie t>est known citizens of Cedar
town, including county officials, prominent
lawyers, merchants and bankers.
GOV.NORTHEX TELLSffHY
THE BSABON WHY BE DECLINED
TO WELCOME JAY GOULD.
Tbe Governor Opposed to Mr. Gould's
Method*—His Letter to Mayor Hemp
hill of Atlanta Explaining His Posi
tion—He Characterises the "Tele
phone’ Humor as Ridiculous.
Gov. Northen, when approached by a
Moknixo Nxwk reporter last night upon
tbesubjeot of bis action with regard to Jay
Gould’s visit to Atlanta and his Utter to
Mayor Hemphill, which had been made
publio, said be did not care
to say anything further about the matter,
as he thought there had already been
enough said about it.
"I would prefer that you would simply
publish my letter to Mayor Hemphill," he
said. “I think that is sufficient explanation
of my notion.
"J would not have made this letter pub
lic," be added, “bad ft not come to my
knowledge that tbe letter had bean read in
tbe preewoe of a number of gentlemen at a
poblto place. Upon learning this and the
unfriendly construction that had been
pl&oed upon it I decided to give my letter to
the press.
oov. NOETHEX’A r.ETTIR.
The letter reads as follows:
w A. Hemphill, City:
Mv Leak Sib—lt has not been possible for me
to meet you to-day In conference about the
invitation you bad the kindness to tender Mrs.
Northen and myself to aid in receiving the
Gould party upon their arrival in tbe city.
I recognise with tbe fullest appreciation the
consideration shown me as the chief executive of
the state,and I beg leave to tender you my thanks
lor the compliment, I must bes lowed to say.
however, that I do not recognize Mr. Gould as
visiting the state in any official capacity, but
r ? , r in hii own interests, without regard to
the Interests of the masses of the people of tbe
state. I may be mistaken in my measure of tbe
man, but I am candid in saying that I do not
think his methods, as practloed in other sections
where he has had power, would develop our
state on the lice of the public good.
Without in the least criticising the opinions
of others, and thanking you most heartily for
the compliment intended in the invitation you
so kindly tendered me. I must most respectfully
decline.
.Tteaae understand that what 1 say refers spe
cially and solely to Mr. Gould, and not to any
other member of his party. Truly and sincerely,
. W. J. Nokthen, Governor.
Got. Northen said that as he considered
that Mr. Gould visited the state as a private
citizen looking after his own interests he
did not think it devolved upon him as gov
ernor of tbe state to assist in receiving him.
A RIDICULOUS RUMOR.
Gov. Northen laughed at the idea that he
regarded it as derogatory to his official
dignity to receive an invitation over the
telephone.
“I preferred, however.” he said, “not to
give my reasons for refusing over the tel
ephone, as I thought it most too public a
means of communication. I intended to
call on Mayor Hemphill in the morning and
explain my reason*, but a press of business
prevented, and I addressed him the letter
which came to tbe knowledge of tbe public
iu the manner I have described to you."
Gov. Northen said that he preferred to
say nothing further in explanation of the
matter, because he did not wish to be Dut
in the light of making an apolcgy t > Mr.

BROKE HER SHAFT AT SEA.
The Mallory Line Steamship Colorado
Brought Into Tybee Disabled.
The tug Cynthia found the Mallory Line
steamship Colorado at anohor yesterday,
about two miles west of Tybee sea buoy,
and, taking her in tow, brought her into
Tybee inner reads, where she is now an
chored awaiting instructions from her own
ers.
The Colorado broke her shaft last Satur
day just this side of 'he Gulf stream, off
Port Royal, since which time she has been
drifting about in a dense fog. She drifted
fully fifty miles to the southward of Tybee,
but managed to beat up again and
anchored Monday night where the Cynthia
found her yesterday morning and towed her
in. Bhe was from New York bound for
Galveston and has about fifty passengers on
board, the most of them steerage.
It is not known what disposition will be
made of the passengers, but it is very likely
that they will be Drought up to the city
to-day on a tug, and will be seat on by rail
to Galveston.
The steamer Nueces, of the same line, will
leave New York to-day, and she may be
ordered to call at Tybee and take the pas
sengers off the Colorado and proceed with
them.
The Colorado will be taken in tow by one
of the vessels of the line on its way from
Galveston, and will be towed to New York.
This has not been definitely settled, but wEU
probably be to-day by wire from the owners.
GARBAGE BARREL THIEVES.
The Annoyanoe They Are to House
keepers and Merchants.
Merchants arr complaining that they can
not keep box'* aud barrels for waste stuff
from their it-.es or plaoes. Boys are continu
ally roaming about in search of suoh plunder,
and hardly a day passes that they do not
reap a harvest either for the domestic fires
or for a blaze of their own out on the com
mon.
The empty boxes and barrels are not all
that are taken unlawful possession of.
Those that are nearly full of w aste are
turned over and their oontents scattered
over the street This lead* to friction with
the scavenger department, and has been tbe
cause of several men being placed on the
information docket and fined.
The mayor has ruled that it doesn’t
matter how the waste comes in front of the
premises; as long as it is there the occupant
is responsible. As he is desirous, however,
of protecting the business men from these
annoyances the polios have been requested
to keep a sharp lookout for the youug
thieves. The first one captured will proba
bly be made such an example of that the
practice will be to some extent broken up.
IT WAS SOMEBODY'S DEAD.
The Respect a Plain Pine Coffin Com
manded.
Last night a plain, unpainted pine coffin
was lying in tbe depot of the Central rail
rood. The crowd that was waiting for the
governor aud other visitors coming on the
inward bound train, trainmen and porters
passed by the box for the dead unheed
ingly, supposing it was empty and was be
ing shipped to one of the way stations to be
used as the last oovering of mortality.
Presently come one attempted to
move it Its weight revealed the
fact that there was a
body In the coffin. Then every one who
passed it walked lightly. Whether it was
white humanity or black, no one knew; but
it was some one’s dead, and in the pine
ooffin was what wae once a living body.

Thrown From a Buggy.
Two young ladies who were driving on
the Thunderbolt road met with quite a se
rious accident yesterday afternoon. They
were driving at a pretty good pace in the

pass between a telegraph pole and a fence

iuto the telegraph pole. The shock threw
both ladies out of the buggy. One of them
was thrown violently agaiust the telegraph
pole, and sustained a semi-fracture of the
right arm. The other received no injuries

molished, but not beyond repair.
