Conflicting Claims—Tribute to the
Late Miss Hardeman Maj. Ryala
and the Pilotage Bill—Made the Spe
cial Order for Tuesday —The Road
Law Elephant—Senate Proceedings.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 3.—The hardest
municipal fight of the session came up
to-day again in the House over the bill of
Capt. Seay of Floyd to create a board of
police commissioners for Rimi Capt
Seay's bill was opposed by both his col
leagues. There were petitions and counter
petition*. and conflicting Jclaims without
number. Ten or twelve speeches were j
made. Capt. Seay, who was anxiously
1 waiting the aauouncemeDt of the resu.t.
gave one loud, long whoop of triumph. It
brought down the house, acd Capt Seay
was overwhelmed with congratulations.
The following privilege resolution, intro
duced bv Judge Meriwether of IVilkcs, was
adopted unanimously :
Whxrias, This House has learned with pro
found reyret .if the d-atti of Ml-s Hardeman,

them in this hour of greatest affliction.

to furnish to Mr. Hardeman a copy of these
resolutions.
THE PILOTAGE BILL.
Next came the pilotage bill by Mr. Dun
woody of Glynn. The report of the general
judiciary committee, to which committee
the bill waa referred, reported favorably
upon a substitute.
Major Hyal* thought that the House had
not sufficient information to act upon the
bill. “It is a general bill,” said he, "and
'*tbe House has a rule that all general bills
,-ahall be printed and distributed for the in
formation of the members. I have been
sawable to find any printed copy of the bill.
' I would like to know why this particular
I bill was never printed.”
(• “I hope,” said Mr. Dunwoody, “that the
House will consider this matter without
further delay.”
“I move”, said Maj. Hyals, “thatthis bill
bo tabled.”
The vote stood: Yeas 73, nays 31.
The bill was ordered printed and made
the special order for next Tuesday.
• THE ROAD LAW.
The elephant on the hands of the House
was a committee substitute for the road law
bill. It is a long bill, and intended to take the
place of four othor long bills, all of whioh
had to be read. A motion was made to in
definitely postpone. The previous question
was called, but before the vote was reaohed
the House adjourned.
WORK Or THE AGRICULTrRAL COMMITTEE.
In the committee on general agriculture
this afternoon the bill by Mr. Baldwin of
Randolph, to amend the constitution so that
judges of county circuits should tie elected
by the people instead of by the legislature,
we 8 adversely reported.
The bill by Mr. Jackson of Heard, to
amend the law lu reference to the inspection
aud analyses of fertilizers, was favorably
reported.
Mr. Dismuke of Spalding offered a sub
stitute for the bill removing the agricul
tural college from Athens to Griffin. He
said that the city of Griffin would contrib
ute a building valued at (23,000, and ten
acres of land. Bbe would also furnish the
necessary apparatus and equipment of the
institution.
Chanoellor Boggs of the University being
E resent the committee invited him to give
is views on the question. The chancellor
made a strong argument, in which he gave
his reasons for opposing the removal of
the college. They were that instead of one
very good* institution, the state would then
have two very poor ones. He said the uni
versity would be seriously crippled if the
land scrip fund were taken away from it.
Already it was hampered with a lac k of
funds, acd then it would be hurt beyond
repair. Ho appealed to the committee to
support the institution to which Georgia
owes so much. He dented the state
ment of Judge Stewart of Griffin that
the fund had been perverted from the uses
for which it was intended, and read the act
of congress giving this money to the state,
and proved by that that it had been prop
erly used.
1 Mr. Diimuke replied to the chancellor,
claiming that the fund was used for the sup
port of the university, and not for the agri
cultural college run in connection with it.
He did not finish his argument, and will
conclude on Tuesday next.
j In the Senate.
The Senate oommittee on railroads re
ported favorably by substitute the bill to
make express companies liable for loss, dam
age, or overcharges.
The committee on public schools reported
favorably a bill for a system of public
schools for Toccoa City.
The following House bills were read for
the first time:
To amend the law in relation to using
obscene language in the presence of a female.
THE ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION.
The Senate committee on rules reported
the House resolution that the legislature
adjourn Sept. 18 at noon. It was reported
favorably ,|with an amendment adding the
words: "Or so soon thereafter as possible,
having due regard to the publio business.”
Mr. Cabaniss, temporary chairman of
the oommittee on rules,favored the adoption
of tbe resolution as amended by the oom
mittee.
Senator Ellington moved that the com
mittee’s report be non-coocurred in. He
did not want an adjournment until all the
business was finished. He thought the busi
ness before the assembly should be exam
ined into with a view of finding out a day
when an adjournment could be had. There
was important business to be disposed of,
and he thought it should be finished.
Senator O’Neal thought that the passage
of the resolution would have the effect of
clearing up the business before both
bouses.
Senator Mitchell thought if the House
was ready to adjourn on Sept. 18 the Senate
would be, and t he charge of delaying ad
journment would fall on the House.
Tberesoiution was agreed to as amended
and transmitted to the House.
A COMMON SCHOOL MEASURE.
On motion of Senator Terrell, the special
order, a bill to extend the term of the
common schools to six months; to establish a
permanent sohool fuud aud provide for the
disbursement thereof; to prescribe the
duties of the officers therewith, and to
amend and consolidate the existing school
laws, was taken up by sections.
After three sections were passed several
senators moved a postponement and an
nounced a determination to obstruct action
for the reason that the members bad not
bad the requisite time to examine fully into
the measure.
.Senator Calloway made a speech against
speedy consideration and wanted the bill
carried over till to-morrow.
After considerable wrangling and numer
ous explanations. Senator O’Neal moved
that tbe bill be made the special order for
to-morrow morning directly after the
reading of the journal. The publio sohool
bill reportel by the Senate oommittee on
public schools is really a substitute for the
House bills by Messrs. Boifeusllet of Bibb
and Jackson of Heard, and the Senate bills
by Messrs. Irwine, Terrell and Williams. It
differs from tbe existing law in tbe follow
ing respects:
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL.

piaca, was brought here yesterday morning
together with nine others who were present
and engaged in gambling at tne time of the
murder. Ten more are wanted, and Sheriff
Miller is making every effort lo capture
them.
John Fersell, who was present and who
has been retained as one of the ituesses,
say*: “As the game of cards was progress
ing, Henry Suggs came forward aud said:
‘I have a quarter on this game. If I lose
I’ll shoot the cards and the man that wins.’
No sooner was the game up than somebody
blew out the lights, three 6hots were fired
in rapid succession, aud two men lay deed
ing on tne floor.”
All of these prisoners were seen at the
jail this morning by the News correspond
ent. Henry Suggs up to this time has re
mained perfectly mum about the killing,
not even answering the officers. Oa boing
told by the correspondent that he wanted
to set him straight, became forward and
said:
SUGGS’ BIDE OF THE CASE.
“Well, sir, you want to know what
I know about the killing. There
were two festivals in the town
that night. Before I went up the railroad
to the festival, Fris Morrison asked me to
lend him 25 cents. I let him have it and he
went into the festival. I then went on up
there. He hailed me, and I hailed him at
the door. Ho said: ‘You want some of
this?’ 1 said ‘wbat?’ Ho said, ‘some of this
ration.’ 1 said,‘yes.’and he handed it to
me. About this time I heard a pistol shot,
an l then another shot, and I broke and ran
and fell into a well.”
"What did you run for?”
"I was scared, and thought one of those
stray shots might hit me.”
“How deep was the well!”
“About up to my neck.”
“What did you do then?”
“I weat homo and went to work."
NINE ARRESTED ON “PCRE ’SPICIOX.”
Neither of the other nine men know any
thing about the killing. They were not
present, didn't even know each other. “As
for cards,” said one, “we don’t know one
card from another."
“Well, what are you in here for?” he was
asked.
“Jist on ’spicion, boss —pure ’spicion.”
There are now confined in the jail at this
place twenty prisoners—fourteen for gamb
ling, four for murder, one for assault with
intent to murder and one for beastiality.

NEWS FROM SCRIVEN.
The Actual Damage to Cotton Now
Being Seen.
Millen, Oa.. Sept. 3.—Now that the
weather has cleared up, our cotton planters
are looking around at their crops to see how
much the damage caused by the long rainy
spell amounts to. Many report rust. Some,
indeed nearly all, find in the rich lands,
where the weeds grow high, a largo percent
age of rotten bolls, while others report boll
worms. C. E. Attaway, of the firm of
Daniel Sc Attaway, sends to Dwelte, Cauu
Sc Daniel a stalk of cotton grown upon the
plantation of Hon. T. J. Brinson, which has
upon it about 100 bolls, of which number
perhaps not five can bo found that will
open, as they are all bored into by this

60 per cent, of the stalks in the field from
which this came is in the same condition.

fair.
The swollen waters of the Ugeechee are
receding. There is now no probability of
further damage to this season’s crop from it.
Some damage to crops in the lowlands has
been sustained, but so much less than was
expected that the people feel as though
their loss was nothing.

DURING THE PA9T YEAR
Irate Stockholders Demand an Ex
planation of the Cause of the Defi
ciency—A P.cture of Harry and Larry
Issuing Preferred Etock ■*- A Liberal
Offer For. the Organ s Purchase Re
jected.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 3.— There is going
to he a lot of trouble about the transfer of
the Southern Alliance Farmer. The paper
has lest during the past year about (4.500.
To meet the expenses of the establishment
preferred stock has been Issued. Dr. Nelms
owns #I,OOO worth of it This is Dr. J. W.
Nelm s , ex-Uiiited States marshal; then
Commissioner Nesbit and State Treasurer
Hardeman, your correspondent is informed,
own some more cf it In ail, #1,695
of the preferred stock has l>N?n is
sued. From the besl information to
be had it appears that Harrv and
Larry issued this st ck, and the deficit is to
t* charged to the salaries they paid them
selves and their families. Harry and Larry
drew out $2,000 a piece, Mrs. Harry Brown
are* (1.2J0 for editing the “Woman's De
partment,” and Jesse Uaott, a son of
Larry’s, who staid around the business
office aud posed as the dude of the paper,
dre w another (1,200.
A PICTURE FOR STOCKHOLDERS.
Confronting the original stcckholders
there is a picture of Harry and Larry is
suing prelerred stock. at their own pleas
ure, independent of the other men that had
put the:r money into the paper, to pay
themselves and their families fat salaries.
One cf the holders of the common stook
was here to-day, and he was very mad.
“There,” said he, showing a type-written
notice, “is my call to attend the stock
holders’ meeting. I’m going, and I’m going
to find out who isiued this preferred st ck
and what it was issued for, and who got the
money. I'm going to find out before I get
through with it how the paper managed to
lose nearly (5.000 in one year. Then I'm
going to find out if the people who issued the
preferred stock are not personally re
sponsible for it.”
“Will you favor accepting the proposi
tion of the committee to buy your paper?”
A LIBERAL OFFER REJECTED.
“No,” was the decisive answer, “I will
not. Their proposition is to pay off the
debts of the paper for the paper. We get
nothing.”
“How does the management of the paper
account for the loss of so much money dur
ing the past year?”
| “They don’t account for it,and that’s what
I’m going to look into Saturday. No, sir, I
will not accept the proposition of the com
mittee. The people who put their money in
it will want some money out of it. The
papier ought to be worth something. That’s
all we are offered now for it, that they will
assume its liabilities and take it for noth
ing,”
Dr. Nelms was found this afternoon. He
corroborated the statement that he held
(1,090 of the preferred stock.
“I’m a member of the alliance,” said he,
“and suuk #I,OOO in cash for the good of the
order.”
Dr. Nelms had a notica to attend the
meeting also. It’s going to be a lively one.

of the farmers’ alliance, based on the Ocala

He olaimed to be the victim of a perse
cution at the hands of partisan oritics and
said that he had been charged with being
in sympathy with the third party move

the evil thereof.” When the necessity for

the Ocala platform, between democratic
and republican, would poll the largest vote

AN EXPOSITION POSTPONED.
Brunswick Will Hold Her Big Show
in the Spring.
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 3.— At a meeting
of the executive committee of the Southeast
Georgia Exposition to-night it was decided
to hold a semi-annual instead of an annual
exposition, and defer the first of
these until spring. Several reasons
actuated this movement. The time
formerly set was too short to ar
range the preliminaries, erect the buildings,
prepare the premium lists and other mat
ters. The spring was chosen for the pur
pose of displaying the market gardening
products of this section of the state.
The ball will be kept rolling fast, aDd
every new move lends encouragement to
the project and indicates the purpose of the
leading'men connected with the exposition
company to make it a powerful means of
development to Brunswick and Southeast
Georgia.

ORANGE PARK FOINTJRS.
The Outlook for the Various Fruit
Crops in Clay County.
Orange Park, Fla, Sept. 3.—Since the
rains set in there has been a decided im
provement in the appearance of vegetation.
The strawberry was pretty generally killed
out by the long drought, which will make
the plants hard to get here.
The greatest improvement is in the pros
pect tor a good orange crop. The troes
have put on a wonderful growth since the
rains began, and the f r uit is now looking
well. It seems that the orange tree can
stand almost anything but cold.
The grape crop was unusually good, and
the pear crop, though not large, is very
fine. The truck growers are now busy pre
paring for a fall crop.
There is s me sickness now in the Park.
Rev. Oliver Taylor, an Espiscopal minister,
is quite ill, and K. W. Edwards is very sick
with pa liters’ colic of a serious character.
In a few days now the new college will
open. The principal is expected very soon.

DAN FORTH’3 LAST DAY.
To be Executed To-day at Noon at
Augusta.
At Augusta Frank Danforth will t,
hanged to-day between 12 and 2 o’clock.>;
The gallows has been made some time, but
was only placed ta position Wednesday
afternoon. A guard from the colored mili
tary has been deputized, the rope has been
prepared, and all things are in readiness
for Sheriff O’Connor’s assistant to pull the
trigger, and the drop will fall.
Danforth was seen in his cell Wednesday
by a Chronicle reporter. When asked what
he had to say, he replied: “I can give you
nothing but the word of the Lord." He
then proceeded to speak of his implicit trust
iu God aud of religious devotions. He
seemed in remarkably good health and
speech.
There has been little change in hi* deport
ment and appearance since the day he was
seutenced to death. He is invariably
found seated by the window with
his hymn book or Bible in
his hand. Ho never spoke of anything but
religion and his soul’s salvation, except
when drawn out on other topics. In con
versation his face frequently relaxed into a
pleasant smile, while bis tone of voice was
uniformly low, respectful, submissive.
While the reporter was talking with him,
another negro, who was about to leave the
jail, having been discharged from custody
as being the wrong man, came into the cell
and spoko to him on the subject of his sal
vation.
Frank listened very attentively, and
when his comforter had finished he said to
him:
"Good-by, and 1 hope that God will bless
you.’’
When the wish was returned by the other
negro Frank said:
"Thank you.”
Rev. Barnes, to whom Danforth con
fessed, was asked if Frank ever talked to
him of anything but religion. He said be
didn’t let him. He told him to keep bis
mind on his spiritual welfare.
On one occasion Frank started to tell him
something about how much money his body
would bring, but he wouldn’t let him con
tinue. The condtmned man has requested
that whatever he possesses miy go to his
mother.
The death watch was set over him at sun
set last evening and will continue bis vigil
until this morning.
