A Move to Have the State’s Interest In the Right of Way and Other Property of the State Road Protected—New Bills introduced by Unanimous Oon eent. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7.—The most elab orate question of personal privilege that ha- come up in the House this session was sprung this morning by Mr. Atkinson of Coweta. It was in reply to an Atlanta paper's editorial of last Friday headed, “The Monkey and the Magazine.” Mr. Atkin son toot it item by item, the whole drift of j his comment being that the editorial was in- j spired by personal malice and feeling grow ing out of the confederate home bill. The charge that he (Mr. Atkiasoui did wrong in accepting the fee of $l,OOO for services in a position that as a member of the last legis lature he had helped create was treated more seriously. This part of the reply was particularly able and fore.bis. Mr. Atkin son was cheered as he concluded his re marks. Mr. Roberts of Douglas introduced a bill to transfer Douglas coanty from the Stone Mountain circuit to the Tallapoosa circuit. Mr. Huff introduced a resolution authoriz ing the governor to have the interest of the state in the right of way and other property of the Western sud Atlantic railroad repre sented and protected. This applies par ticularly to the litigation now pending between the East Tennessee and Western and AUantio roads, touching the right of wav and the union passenger depot in Atlanta. Several local bills were passed. MORE BILLS INTRODUCED, The House held an afternoon session. By unanimous consent the following bills were introduced By Mr. Sibley of Cobb—To provide that all prisoners oonvicted of felon.ei the pen alty far which i* leas than five years shall be sentecoed to the chain-gangs of the counties wnere they are oonvicted. By Mr. Seay of Floyd—To provide for the building of a levee to protect the lower pari of the city of Rome. Mr. Huff of Bibb introduced the general tax bill for 1891 and 1893, which authorized the governor to levy a general tax and also provides for a special levy of ISi mills for the support of the common schools. The committee subatitute for the resolu tion by Mr. Swain of Gordon, to provide for the sale of certain unused Innas lying along the line of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and belonging to the state of Geor gia, and applying the proceeds to paymg the bonded debt of the state as passed, with one slight amendment. The resolution asking the president of the Senate and speaker of the House to appoint a delegation to attend the meeting of the Bavannah River Improvement Associa tion. was adopted. In the Senate. • The Senate met this morning with barely a quorum present, bills on first reading the House were token up and read aud deferred to the appropriate committees. A [Majority of these lulls were of a purely [local nature. The bills on third reading were of the same kind and were gone fjthrough with in mechanical style with no latch except where one or two senators had £o be brought from the ante-room to make ttha necessary quorum to pass the bills be fore the body.

The bill to prevent county and city court judges from making out papers for their own court was reported favorably. ATLANTA’S BUND TIGER. The State Capitol Porter Arrested by Federal Officers. Atlanta, Ua., Sept. 7.—The United States authorities have taken hold of the capitol blind tiger. It appears that the matter had been effectually “hushed up” by the municipal and state authorities, but that will be difficult to do now in the fed eral courts. Peter McMiehael, the colored porter who was in charge of the blind tiger when it was captured by the Atlanta de tectives, was arrested by Deputy Marshal Hewton McDonald this loreuoon. The charge agaiust him is retailing without a license. His preliminary trial will occur to-morrow morning. The negro was notified several days ago bv Dick Dow, deputy collector for this division, that he must pay the government special tax for retailing, which is at the rate of $25 a year, tooover the time that the legislature has been in session. He failed to do this end the warrant was sworn out. Then Peter wanted to pay it and several legisla tors interested themselves in his behalf but it was too late. RYAN'S CREDITORS. A Belief That the New Yorkers Will Accept the Cqmpromiee. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7.—The Atlanta lawyers representing the Kyan creditors had a meeting this afternoon. The com mittee that visited New York and Boston, on returning home on Saturday, reported natisfactory progroes. There is to be a meet ing of New York oreditors, representing SIBO,OOO in New York to-morrow morning. There and then the die will be cast, if this meeting decides to accept tho o jmproinise offered, it is practically assured that the Boston and scattering creditors will fall into line, and there will be an end of the litigation. If this alliance of Now York creditors refuse the compromise there is no hope of an adjustment. The committee, just back from New York, are quite hope ful that the New York people will accept the compromise offered. Killed by the Wound. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7. —VTillio Lump kin, the negro boy who was shot by J. W. Swann at Kirkwood Thursday, is dead. The inquest was held yesterday. I >r. H. M.

Brown Buys Out H:s Interest in the Alliance Farmer Atlanta, Ua., Sept. 7. [arrv Ganifc sold his stock in the Southern Alliance Farmer to-day, not t > the committee rep resenting the state alliance, which has been negotiating for its purchase, but to Harry Brown. Editor Brown himself is authority for this. Another sinterne t f some im portance in just tins connection cm be mad-' definitely to-night—that is, the pres ! ant stockholders wiil not sccept the propo sition made by the committee, which was 'to pay off the debts of the paper and take it for that. The stockholders j meeting failed again to-night to materialize, ns it dii Saturdav, so that no formal action I has vet been taken by the stockholder. It is certain, however, t .at they will not ac.ept tne proposition of the committee. LIVINGSTON TALKS. •‘Now,” Col. Livingston was asked to night, "what will the c miuittee dof "l can t say,” he replied. “That will de pend on the wording of the resolution passed In the alliance convention, which I do not remember eccurately.” “Does it authorize you to make any otbT arrangements for a state organ, other that to purchase the Southern Alliance Farmer!" "I cannot say definitely,” he replied. This resolution, by the way, was not fur nished verbatim by the press committee of the alliance convention, s > that reference to the official minutes will be necessary. Editor Brown's ideas are that the committee was authorized only to negotiate for the purchase of his paper. brown’s position. "If no satisfactory arrangement is made,” said he to night, “then my paoer continues to be the official organ and I continueeditor of it. My paper is now the official organ.” That may be styled “taking the bull by the horns.” E litor Brown's idea is that the Southern Alliance Farmer as private property will continue to be the state organ whether or not the committee or the al liance itself wishes it to be so. Either that or he proposes to get more for bis paper than the committee has yet offered him. INSPKCIION OF THS TROOPS. An Order Issued by the Adjutant General. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 7.—Adjt. Gen.

He Finds Numerous Objections tc the Scheme, and Does Not Know of Any Difference of Opinion Between Mr. Watson and Bimsslf-Hach Apt to Speak Separately Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 7.—C01. L. F. Liv ingston furnis -es for publication to-night his reply to the committee of five that ad dressed to him the request for a joint debate with Col. Watson. ‘‘While acknowledging the compliment of your invitation,” says Col. Livingston, "I am compelled to decline it. A joint debate presents a number of objections, which, I am sure when sug gested. will commend themselves to your own judgment. In the first place, lam not aware that there is any difference of opin ion between Mr. Watson and myself on the subject. If we do not differ there is no room for a joint debate. As an adianceroan I stand on the ‘Ocala platform.’ Its railroad plank is as definite as any other iu it, including the sub treasury plank. That piauk is efficient gov ernment control by means of railroad com missions, aud, if this raeaus fail, by govern ment ownership.” The oolonel goes on to quote the railroad plank, and says tne;e is no room for more than one construction of it. an additional objection. An additional objection to a joint discussion is that no good can corn© either to the order ttiat I have the honor to representor the public. It would be construed as an antagonism between Col. Watson aud myself, and would be hailed with delight by the enemies of the order. I am in favor of enforcing paragraph 4, section 7, article 2of the constitution. I do not know what detailed plan Mr. Watson prefers to have the legislature adopt so as to secure the only thing the framers of the constitution bad in their minds at the time said paragraph of said section and article was adopted—competi tion between the several lines of railroadß in this state. Tne bill introduced into the House by Mr. Pope of Oglethorpe, and Senator Nunn ally of the Twenty seventh, will secure the benefits of oompetion to the people of Georgia, whether the railroads are combined or held and operated singly. And oniy through the railroad com mission can we secure and maintain the benefits of competition or such rates as would be obtain wnere parahel roads exist. Certainly the framers of the constitution did not mean to preserve competition to the large cities or terminal points only. They must have meant to all the people a! all points, and to do this we must rely upon the railroad commission, or else build parallel roads to every station or depot in the state The much cneaper plan and far more satis'actoryjto the masses of our people in Georgia is to give the railroad commission authority to secure aud maintain the benefits of competition if they have not that authority now and fix a just and reasonable penalty for each and every violation of such rules and regu lations as prescribed by said railroadcommission. I desire to say that any wise, just and effective method for the inforcing of the state constitution by your honorable body will meet my hearty ap proval, and when 1 can sjiare the time, it it is the pleasure of the members, or any number of them, to hear me upon the Ocala platform, in eluding the railroad plank, I will cheerfully consent to address you. Accept my thanks, gentlemen, for the invitation. Yours respectfully. L. F. Livingston. A telegram was recolved hero to-day from Hon. Tom Watson. He bad been notified of Col. Livingston’s refusal to debate, and was asked if ho would speak alone. His an swer was: I will not speak alone unless invited. The invitation already given was to a joint dis cussion. If invited I will speak any day next week. Thos. E. Watson. A STIKE AVERTED. Chief Arthur Settles the Dispute in South Carolina. Charleston, S. C., Sept. 7.—Grand Chief P. M. Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers vras in the city to-day and settled the trouble between the South Carolina railroad and its engineers,growing out of the recent wreck of a train at Sum merville.

The compromise agreed upon was a reduction of Heidt’s sentence of dis missal to suspension. Cordons sentence remains unchanged. There will be no strike. NEIGHBORS IN A ROW. Two Men Probably Fatally Shot at Pembroke. Pembroke, Ga., Sept. 7.—A most deplorable and at the same time a most des perate and bloßdy conflict between neigh bors occurred at this point to-day.

Richmond, Va., Sept. 7.—The state re publican committee, Oea. William Maho.ie chairman, has just issued another address to the republicans of Virginia, headed, "They will bide their time,” which is about evenly divided between denunciation of the democrats and glorification of the readjusters and republicans. The address concludes as follows: “Let the impostors who are masquerading in our clothes as readjustors, as friends of free education ani free suffrage, as con servators of our institutions aud civili zation play their dreary farce alone. Waste no effort or energy, no time and moaus, iu the direction now perfectly sue less.

He literally ran away from the field in the borne stretch, and won by ten lengths. Bets on him were quickly cashed, and the owners quickly disappeared with out calling for tne f.NOO purse he won. The bookmakers admit a loss altogether of $15,000. It is surmised here that the horse was purchased from the Raucocas stable, but myßtery envelops the whole affair. BLEW HIMSELF TO ATOMS.
