GOV. NORTHEN LIKES US.
HISENTERT ' INMENTHE&E EIGSLY
PLEAS SD HIM.
The Appearance of the Military Made
a Most Favorable Impression -The
Governor a Firm Friend of the
Militia of the Whole State — The
County Commissioners Praised.
Atlanta, Ga., Febt 16.—Gov. Northen
Returned from his recent visit highly
delighted with Savannah. The military,
and what he saw of the city’s publioinsti
kntions, impressed him very forcibly, and
the courtesies of which he and his friends
were the recipients so oompletsly capt
ured him that be seems unable to express
too fully the great depth of his gratification.
“The hospitality of the people of Savan
nah,” said the governor, “is simply splen
did. From the time I reached the city
ttutfl the very moment the train pulled out
for Atlanta I was the recipient of atten
tion and kindness for which I am pro
foundly grateful. As soon as I was re
leased from my official connection with the
State Agricultural Society 1 was invited
to meet the people of the city at the city
hall. 1 made a great many pleasant ac
quaintances and met a great many old
friends.”
DELIGHTED WITH THE MILITARY.
Nothing is better known than the gov
ernor’s partiality for the military, whioh
was more thau once attested during the
recent session of the legislature, when his
Influence went so far toward securing the
more liberal appropriations obtained for the
volunteer soldiery from the alliai.ee assem
bly. It no doubt, therefore, gave him as
much pleasure to speak nighlv of the Sa
vannah troops as it will afford them to hear
his commendation. He said:
“The military companies of Savannah
are well organized and well officered.
Several officers in command were promi
nent in the confederate service, and they
necessarily give to their commands charac
ter not to be obtained in auy other way.
After reviewing these oompanies it gave
me great pleasure to say to the men that I
would do all I oould to bring the state mili
tary to the highest success, as an honor as
well as a security to the state."
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Gov. Northeu seemed much struck with
the good sense and useful work of the
Chatham county commissioners.
“I had some valuable suggestions made to
me by the members of this board," said be,
“as to the punishment and handling of
county convicts. For a certain dans of
misdemeanor convicts I am opposed, for
many reasons, to allowing any alternative
punishment. In my opiuion some classes of
convicts ought to be sent to the chaiu-gang
and not allowed to have some man pay a
penalty in the shape of a line for their
convict. As far as I conferred with the
Chatham commissioners they agreed with
my view.
“The court house, built under the direc
tion of these commissioners, would do honor
to any oily on the continent. The commis
sioners, with commendable pride, carried
me through their oonnty jail. I have been
making some inquiries into the condition of
the jails in the state. The Chatham jail I
examined closely. I did not find anything
to criticise, hut everything to commend and
approve. It is kept in admirable condition."
“Were the farmers pleased with the enter
tainment given them?"
“Never more su I have beard them
speak in the highest terms of the hospitaluy
of the city. Savannah it nearer the center
of Georgia than ever before.”
PROTECTION FcR THB MULB.
A Negro Driver Sentenced to Serve
Six Months or Pay SSO.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 16. —A negro driver
named Neal Wilson was sentenced by Judge
Van Epps in the city court this morning to
pay S6O or serve six months, for cruelty to
animals. Wilson thrashed the animal con
tinuously until his back was raw, and then
prodded the raw places till the beast
began kicking tha wagon to pieces.
At tbia the negro descended
and felled the mule with a blow over the
head with a chib. Ti e Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty Vo Animals took hold of
the oase, ana the result was the first con
viction of the kind in this court. Id sen
tencing Wilson Judge Vau Epps grew elo
quent ovei the wrongs endured by the
Georgia mule, and wound up by taking him
forever under the special protection of the
court.
THE JUDGE’S REMARKS.
Bald the judge: "Nearly everybody loves
a horse. We have pretty good Bible au
thority that there are horses in heaven, but
with a mule it is different. Men do not as
a general thing love these poor creatures,
that with their dull minds iiave so little re
flection, although they appear at times to
be musing. The brutal drivers
and the rich corporations alike
impose heavy burdens on them, whioh
they bear patiently and uncomplainingly,
and lam glad the law offers protection to
them all. This being the first conviction, it
will doubtless go abroad, and I want to say
that this court will do all in its power to
protect these patient animals from their
cruel masters if the society to prevent
cruelty to animals will only briug them
within its jurisdiction.”
A MERCHANT MI?SING.
His Creditors Looked Upon a Robbery
Story With (suspicion.

whispers at the time. Later his affairs were,

hospital was destroyed by Are last night.
The loss is $65,000. Fireman Frank Jayne
was fatally hurt by falling from a ladder.
None of the patients were injured. There
were in the hospital yesterday 800 patients,
nineteen sisters, and fully that number of
employes. The inmates were iu ail stages
of disease, and many were unable to get
from their beds. The minute the fire was
discovered and an alarm given a scene of
the wildest contusion ensued. The corridors
were filled with a terrified crowd of
patients, some clad only in their night
clothes and all trembling in abject terror.
ALL ASLEEP.
They were all asleep whon the gong
sounded its warning, but it was the work of
only a morneut for the sisters to clothe
themselves in their black robes. Never
before have women worked more nobly
than did. those gentle sisters. They were
everywhere, regardless of personal comfort
or safety, and to them alone should go the
major portion of the credit of saving tile
lives of the patients.
ONLY HALF INSURED.

$20,000 or *22,000, divided between three
different companies. The entire building
bad just been repaired and SBO,OOO worth of
beds and bedding put in. The hospital was
a three-story st me structure from the main
entrance on West avenue, extending on
either side along a wiug, with a tower at
the end. Beyond the east part of the build
ing a wing extended Bouth on Genesee
street. Nothing but the blackened walls re
main.
FLAMEB IN A MINE.
Eleven Lives Lost—A Creek Turned
Into the Blazing Pit.
Bcottdale, Pa., Feb. 16.—Moyer mine
was set on fire to-day by a miner accident
ally dropping a naked lamp at the bottom
of the shaft, which is 100 feet deep. The
lamp exploded, igniting the accumulated
mine gas, which exploded with a terrific
report and scattered name in every direc
tion. The mine caught fire and the
large shaft used for ventilating the
mine was destroyed, and tno inte
rior of the mine seems to be
one mass of flame. A large number of
men are at work turning water into the
mine. Mouse creek has been turned from
its course into the mine shaft, and it is
pouring a large amount of water in the
seething abyss. The Moyer coke plant was
one of the largest in the regiou, aud em
ployed 500 men. The meu at this (dace had
refused to join the ranks of the strikers, and
the works were running full. Fifty miners
were at work at the time of the explosion.
All escaped except four pumpers, who are
known to have been killed, and six or sovon
men who are reported missing.
REVISION OF THE CONFESSION.
Action of tbe Committee In Session at

of the general assembly of the Presyterian
church of the United States on revisiou of
the confession, after a very harmonious

generally met with unanimous approval.
Its work will lie reported to tbe assembly
in Detroit next May, aud by it will be re
ferred to the presbyteries for their adoption
or rejection. The changes made in the
statements of the confession have been of
great importance, but have in no way im
paired the integrity of the system, or
doctrine so long held by the church.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1891.
WORRYING A RAILROAD.
A NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINEER
AND HIS WIFE HA6DTO DOWN.
They Claim to Own Land which the
Company Claims-Employes of the
Road Constantly Arrested on a
Charge of Trespass—The Road Ap
peals to the Courts.
Atlanta. Ga., Feb. 16.— The big railroad
company which is able to pay nearly $500,-
000 annually for the lease of the state read
has found it necessary to appeal to the courts
for protection against the persistent inter
ference of a countryman and his wife who
live and persecute the great corporation in
a backwoods corner of Dade county. In
the federal court to-day the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and St. Louis Railroad Company
filed its complaint against Robert and Susan
Lindsey. The bill recites tnat the right of
way for that short detour upon Georgia soil
made by the road to dodge a Tennessee
mountain was given to the company by
Robert Parish, the owner of considerable
lon led pr perty in the northeast corner of
Dade county, which he afterward sold.
OWNERSHIP OF THE DEFENDANTS.
The defendants acquired possession of a
small portion of said lands adjacent to the
plaintiff's line of road. At that point two
tracks have long existed end recently a
third was built. This additional side-track,
the plaintiff insists, was laid upon its own
right of way, but the Lindseys lay claim
to the ground and assert their title in a
manner so annoying to the company that
the latter oomplains that the operation of
its trains has been interfered with $2,000
worth already.
REFUSE TO ARBITRATE.
Robert aud Susan will not consent to
arbitration nor appeal to the courts, as the
road is willing to do, to assess the oomnen
sation due them provided the ground occu
pied by the side-track is their property, but
instead they constantly cause the employes
of the railroad to be arrested for criminal
trespass. This, the plaintiff avers, is done
by the defendants for the purpose of extort
ing excessive compensation. Their poverty
makes it impossible for the ro id to retali
ate, and they own no attachable property,
the title they have being exempt under the
homestead law*. Judge Newman has
granted an order temporally restraining
the Lindsevs from interfering with the
operation of the line pending the hearing of
the complaint.

MONBY FOR THB TENANTS.
The McCartbyltes Agree to Distribu
tion of the League Fund.
London, Feb. 16.—At a meeting of the
McCarthyite members of parliament in
oommittee room No. 15 to-day it was
resolved to acquiesce in the proposition to
devote tbe remainder of tbe League fund of
£36,000 to the benefit of the evicted ten
ants, provided the money is distributed by
the Tenants’ Defense Association. It was
also resolved to endeavor to secure, by
legal means, control of the United Ireland.
ORGANIZING FOR THK FRAY,
A meeting of tbe anti-Parnellites was
held here to-day with the object of organ
izing for toe purpose of carrying on the
campaign in Ireland against that section of
the Irish party lei by Mr. ParnelL
The branch of the national league at
Douglass, county Cork, at its regular meet
ing yesterday, decided to sever its connec
tion with the central branch and to work
independently of that body, which, as a
whole, supports Mr. Parnell. The meeting
at which this course was decided upon was
presided over by a Catholio priest.
m’carthy claims control.
Justin McCarthy has announced that he
has received from Patrick Egan a deed of
transfer for his share in the United Ireland,
and that this deed will empower him (Mc-
Carthy) with legal control of the paper.
GLADSTONE NOT STRONG.
London, Feb. 17, 2 a. m. —Although Mr.
Gladstone delivered a vigorous spe ah, he
was evidently indisposed and leaued heavily
on his stick. Hs spoke at a time unusual
with the first rank speakers, owing to bis
dedro to return early. The members of
tbe House who had been flocking out to
dinuer remained to listen, finding that Mr.
Gladstone was up.
Secretary Balfour was in fine fighting
form. Maintained by exhilarating support
and ministerial enthusiasm, be made one of
the most dexterous, brilliant and effective
speeches he ever delivered.
The division on Mr. Morley’s motion was
on strict party lines, Mr. Gladstone having
paired and this whole Irish party supporting
Mr. Morley.
Tbe discussion over the adjournment was
long and angry, and threatened an all night
sitting. The House finally adjourned at
1:30 o’clock this morning. There was an
unusual gathering in the peers’ gallery,
which included the Earls of Derby, Cooper
aud Aberdeen, Lord Ashbourne, the Duke
of Norfolk and the lord chancellor.
THE SCENE IN THK HOUSE.
At 5:20 o’clock this afternooon the House
of Commons was filled from the galleries to
tbe floor. Mr. Parnell sat below tbe gang
way, between Mr. Thomas Bailey Potter
and Mr. Timothy Healy. Mr. Sexton sat
behind Justin McCarthy, on the
same bench as Mr. Morley. Mr.
Morley arose and, in accordance
with the notice previously given by him,
moved that the House adopt a vote censur
ing the Irish executive for its action in the
Tipperary prosecutions. Mr. Morley’s reso
lution declared that such action on the part
of the Irish executive was calculated to
bring the law into contempt, and was
violating the rights of tbe citizens.
Mr. Morley said that the mo
tion, instead of being put out of date by
recent events, was most opportune, in view
of tbe fact that two prominent Irish mem
bers of parliament had just passed on their
way to prison and in sight of the House.
[Hear, hear.] The imprisonment of these
member* of parliament, continued Mr.
Morley, was the climax of the Tipperary
proceedings.
HIS EYES OPENED.
He appealed to the House as to whether,
until September last, his attitude toward
tbe Irish police had been hostile, but after
seeing in Tipperary the working of the tre
mendous coercion machine, his eyes had
been opened as to wbat pitch of demoraliza
tion, brutality and lawlessness the
agents of Secretary Balfour had been
brought to by Secretary Balfour
standing up for every act of theirs,
right or wrong [cheers!; crediting every
statement of tbe police and refusing to
make any inquiry, however strong the evi
dence was against them. [Hear, bear.! Af
ter passing ton minutes in Tipperary, addea
Mr. Morley, he saw marching and “booing”
made the pretext for the violent dispersal of
a small crowd. The police adopted a
course on that occasion for which,
in England, Col. Caddell and every
man concerned in it would have been
cashiered. The scene at the entrance of the
court house was further evidence of the po
lice lawlessness. It was not a dense, savage
crowd, as some people supposed, but as
quiet and harmless a crowd as he ever saw.
The police used brutal, ferocious and abso
lutely unorovoked violence, of which any
dbcipliueojforce in the world ought to be
ashamed.
RUSEELL REPLIES.
T. W. Russell (unionist) said that Mr.
Morley spent three hours in Tipperary and
then'bolted by the next train. [Laughter.]
He ridiculed the statement that the crowd
was harmless. No Tipperary mob has ever
tieen before held up to admiration as a
pacific crowd. His amendment a6ked the
tic use to vindicate the action of the police
in view of the conspiracy in which Messrs.
Dillon and O’Brien had been convicted.
Their inciting advice had turned
Tipperary, whi-h was one of the
most peaceful towns in Ire
land, into a place as desolate as if it had been
swept l y a scourge. He did not question
tbe right to share in a factional fight, but
why While in Tipperary did he not inquire
of the ueople the cause of the local ruin?
He would have learned that their
misery was due to boycotting, accompanied
by every kiud of violence. [Hear, hear.]
Thanks to the government, honest Irish
men had a better chanoeof pursuing lawful
business. Village ruffianism had been dis
placed. Mr. Morley sought to tie the hauds
of the executive and prevent the protection
of the friends of law and order in Ireland.
GLADSTONE EXPRESSES SURPRISE.
Mr. Gladstone expressed surprise that the
government countenanced an amendment
evading tbe main accusation against Secre
tary Balfour, as assisting to violate the civil
rights of the people. Assailing the authors
of the plan of campaign was not an answer
to the charge.
Secretary Balfour defended the officers
and executive against the charge of a viola
tion of the law and the use of illegal force
against the people. That was not a response
to the charge that the bench was Hacked
with magistrates whose justice was im
puned. [Cheersi. ]
Mr. Morley showed uu wonted animus
while speaking.
Mr. Parnell sat with folded arms listen
ing to Mr. Morley, evidently with close at
tention, bat be did not join in the Irish
cheers. He left as soon as Mr. Gladstone
rose to speak.
Gladstone’s delivery.
Mr. Gladstone spoke for balf an
hour. He manifested no special enthusiasm
until toward the close of his speech. Then
his voice, iu ringing toues of triumph, de
clared that the doom of coorcion and the
government was assured. In the early part
of his speech Mr. Gladstone turned his back
upon the government bench and addressed
