In the Senate.
In the SeDate this morning no new bills
were introduced, and the time of the session
■was taken up e,.tirely with the pas-age of
bills on third reading. These bills were
mostly from the committee of corporations,
and were of decidedly local character.
On the reception of the resdutious from
the House thanking the citizens of Savan
nah for the courtesies extended the body
during its visit to that city, Senator Elling
ton moved that it be concurred in by a ris
ing vote. The vote was unanimous.
THE CONFEDERATE HOME.
Livingston Says He Always Favored
Its Acceptance by the Stats.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—C01. Living
ton seems to feel somsw hat sore on accouut
of some of the newspapers attributing to
him the defeat of the confederate home
bill on Friday. The colonel said he had
always favored the acceptance of the home,
and thought it would be taken by the state
without a dissenting vote, until the develop
ments in the alliance convention. He says
he felt so certain there would be no opposi
tion that, in the convention, without
leaving thejebair, he offered the reiolut oa
himself, and ho feels sure the convention
would have adopted it unanimously, but
for the fact that two or three speeches were
made against it by members of the legisla
ture whose chief argument was that the
veterans would not go to the home if it
were taken in hand by the state. The
colonel evidently thinks that the result in
the convention and iu the legislature should
be attributed to these men, all of whom are
confederate veterans.
Requisitions Honored.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—The governor
t>day honored a requisition for Manassas
Burnevrell, wanted in South Carolina ior
murder; Peter Jeunings, who wiil be tri-d
for bastardy iu Florid#, and Joseph Harris,
a South Carolina burglar.

THE GARTBELL ESTATE.
An Interesting Ca9o that Has Been Ap
pealed to Fulton Superior Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31.—The very
young widow of Gen. L. J. Gartrell is on
one side and the other heirs of the general
are on the other side of an interesting case
that to day took the turn of an appeal to
the superior court by consent from the
return of the appraisers appointed to set
aside a year’s support for the widow. The
Sarties to the appeal are Mrs. Lucy G.
iagnus, Mrs. Lizzie G. Baird, Mrs. Carrie
! G. Blount, -Mrs. Ida.Mav Hartridge, Francis
B. Gartrell aud Mrs. Lizzie Gartrell as
guardian for three nnoor children. Young
Airs. Gartrell was, until abiat two years
before the general’s death, Miss Maud Con
don. Her home was in Greenville, Ala. She
was about 17 years of age at the time of her
marriage ami was esteemed quite a tieauty.
'lhe general was in the neighborhood of
half a century bar senior. When Gen.
Gartrell died he left only his “homo place”
on Decatur street, valued at $13,300, and
that was heavily mortgaged. The ajiprais
eis hwarded young Airs. Gartrell $2,500
and all the household and kitchen goods,
making in all about $4,03.), as a year’s sup
port. The other heirs think that consider
ing the very simple habits or living that
characterized tbe last years of Gen. Gar
trell’s life aud the small siza of the estate
and considering that the threo minor chil
dren referred to are in more needy circum
stances than the widow, the awaid is en
tirely too large. The widow, moreover, is
one of the heirs to what remains of the
estate.
ITALIANS WARNED.
They Must Leave Brunswick Within
Five Days.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 3i. —Tbe Italians
in Brunswick are in trouble over the follow
ing circular which was left uuder each
Italian’s door this morning. It reads as fol
lows:
"Italians and Dagos, take warning' We
have just suffered an lodignation that shall not
be repeated. Our women must and s:iall be
protected. Therefore, we hereby give you no
tice to leave our city. You must leave within
five days or you will be waited upon Now,
take tnis timely warning and advice. You
must go. and ail your kind with you To save
trouble pack up and leave, or you will regret it.”
Citizens.
Nothing since the New Orleans lynching
has created such a sensation among Bruns
wick Italians. They are excited, and their
ceaseless excited jabbering is heard in every
Italian’s iiouse. They take the warning in
earnest, though conservative citizens try to
oonvince them it is the work of boys.
The circular is the result of an Italian’s
attempt on a young white girl’s
honor a few days agj. That Italian was
warned and left, forfeiting his bond. The
Italian colony here has increased greatly
since the NewOrldans affair, and it is pos
sible that some feeling exists against them.
They areundecidod what to do. It is hard
to get interviews from them. Some claim
other nationalities and swear they are not
Italians. Two of them left to-day.
FOUND DEAD.
Col. Dortch Falls From a Buggy and
Breaks His Neck.
Carnesvillk, Ga., Aug. 31.— C01. J. 8.
Dortch of this place was found dead last
night near Martin, a distance of eight
miles from here. On inquiry as to the
cause, it was learned that he bad fallen
from bis buggy aud his neck was broken.
The coroner’s jury gave a verdict in accord
ance with the above.
Col. Dortch was a man of great mental
ability and has been prominent in public
and political affairs in Franklin couaty for
mauy vears. He was the father of Miss
Ellen Dortch, the editor of the Carnesvillo
Tribune.
A PATHETIC FEATURE.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31. —T0-day the
state board of education was to have mot
and decided upon the case of Col. John 8.
Dortch, the county school commissioner of
Franklin county. His trial was concluded
last week. To-day the papers were all filed
away reverently, aid the simple entry was
made: “Referred to a higher tribunal.”
A pathetic feature of his case before tjie
state board was the constant and loyal de
votion of his daughter, Miss Ellen Dortch.
Her appeal when the case was before the
board first, saved him from a confirmation
of the finding of the county board.

the uniform rank to-day with much enthu
siasm. The rank turned out iu full force
under command of Capt. Tobe Newman,
who led them to victory in the late state

complimentary remarks, tendered Capt.

propriately aud the rank marched to the

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 31. —W. C. Glenn

appointed.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1891,
LEGALITV OF THE LEASES
SES3ION OF THE JOINT RAILROAD
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
Pat Calhoun and Jack Spalding Be
fore It-The Investigation Conducted
In Private—Mr. Calhoun Makes a
Lengthy Argument In Support of the
Legality of the Charter and Lease of
tbe Central to the Terminal.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 31.— Pat Calhoun
and Jack Spalding were before the joint
railroad investigating committee this after
noon. Tbe investigation was conducted in
private. Mr. Calhoun, it is said, went
into a lengthy argument in support of the
legality of the charters and lease contracts
of the Central railroad and its branches
with the Terminal Company, but had little
to say in support of the constitutionality of
the combination in its effects on competi
tion in tne railroad business.
After concluding his argument Mr. Cal
houn branched off in a c jnversational way
ou the probable eifect of the recent inves
tigation. While the minds of the people
appear to be so thoroughly bent on having
this matter of charter violations sifted to
the bottom. Mr. Calhouu said if this thing
was carried far enough it was quite prob
able that in the ca-e of every railroad in
the state there would be found some reason
for the forfeiture of its charter.
what he would accept.
He thought if there were any way in which
this question might be settled, without go
ing to the courts, it would be a blessing to
tho state. He would be willing to accept
the finding of the committee appointed by
the governor to examine into the matter
and report to the next session of the leg
islature, along with tbe recommendation as
to the nearest way to settle the vexed ques
tion. He denied that there was any great
difference between the people ana the rail
roads, and all that ho was after was a final
settlement of the whole railroad question.
The reason why he favored such a course as
this was to arrive at some plan broad
enough for the railroads and the people
both to stand upon.
DON’T WANT to GO TO COURT.
He did not think the matter should go
into the courts now, for it would put the
case directly between the whole state and
railroad corporations. Such a situation
aptly handled by tho enemies of southern
development would tend to tear down
much of the progress the south has made.
He did not think tbe committee could put
trns thing into motion now without starr
ing a political revolution which would
shake the state from center to circum
ference
Then, too, Mr. Calhoun thought tho mat
ter should he settled on a legal basis, with
out touching the constitutionality of a
combination in affecting competition. Mr.
Calhoun, in his zeal to save southern de
velopment from a Betbaok, said nothing of
the sotback which might possibly come in
the prices of Terminal securities.
STARR IN CONSULTATION WITH GREEN.
W. W. Starr was in the city to-day, and
was in consultation with General Manager
Green of the Terminal company. He re
turned to Savannah to-night. Of course,
that may have much or little to do with the
legislative investigation. Nevertheless Mr.
Stirr has many friends in the legislature.
He has been in an official position in nearly
every branch of the Central system, and as
he is a very f-iendly fellow, he has many
acquaintances among the members of the
legislature.
CAUSE OF HIS RESIGNATION.
Everybody knows that Mr. Starr was re
quested to resign, because he said some
thing about the Richmond and Danville
people being short of money, or intimated
something to that effect. Mr. Starr’s
friends In the legislature are
as much . stirred up over
his summary dismissal as are
his friends elsewhere, and the news of Its
coming in connection with the legislation
investigations, makes them feel anxious as
to the result of the inquiry and they await
the report of the committee with more
than usual interest.

Effect of the Weather on the Crops
and Property.
Waresboro, Ga., Aue. 31.—The ex
treme heavy raiDS in this section have
greatly damaged cotton, potatoes and rice.

water. Old citizens said that the rainfall
has been greater here than for the many
years past. Some farmers estimate that the
loss to cotton is one third.

schools in the state.
THE RAINS IN LIBERTY.
Mclntosh, Ga.. Aug. 3t.—The recent
rains have flooded the county with water,

aged by the excessive rains. The cotton is
shedding and the crop will be cut off con
siderably. The saw-mills iu our section
have been compelled to close down.

Halcyonpalk, Ga., Aug. 30.—TheOgee
chee is on a boom, ri-ing rapidly. It is
feared that the low lands will be overflowed,
in which event the damage to crops will be
great. Cotton is sprouting in the boll some,
but tbe fair weather has placed a more
cheerful outlook on crops. A great deal of
corn is blown down, but not muoh is seri
ously damaged. A few dry days and that
which is on the ground wiil be Harvested.
[THI POTATO CROP IN WASHINGTON.
BANDERSVILLK, Ga., Aug. 31. —The Irish
potato crop has been almost a complete

President Inman of the Richmond Terrai
nalsays:“Tbe statement that Richmond Ter

out of a misunderstanding. One of the
controlled companies has lately borrowed
some money from bankers in this city, but
the Terminal Company itself has borrowed
no money at all recently. Richmond* Ter
minal owes only $530,000 of floating debt
all told, and that was incurred last June
for the purchase of bonds from one of its
controlled lines. The Terminal treasury is
strong in securities, and the company has
more than enough money on hand to pay
its September interest. After paying this
interest the company has no other payments
until the-divjdp jd on the, (preferred stock is
due next January. Meantime it should
receive some 1650,000 from dividends on
stocks owned.”
