Lprevent public executions was tuken from
-the table. The report of tho committee was
agreed to.
Seuator Hodges opposed tbe bill. He
thought tbe present law was sufficient.
Senator O’Neal thought tbe bill was un
necessary. He thought it would entail an
extra expensejon some counties. Besides,
he thought the example of a public execu
tion was often good.
Senator Gill thought there was no valid
objection to tbe bill He thought capital
punishment was wrong and be thought
public executions were wrong.
Dr. Bane said be too was opposed to capi
tal punishment. He thought it was a
morbid craze for sensation which carried
people to a public banging. Besides, all
murderers stepped from tbe gallows
to heaven, and he thought such
Ibad1 bad a poor effect on
the witnesses. Religion was trampled upon
by sucl happenings. Suc.h death speeches
were at encouragement to crime. Dr. Lane
answered a cumber of questions, religious
• and otherwise. Most of them touohad upon
tfaeluteof murderers as told in the Bible.
feenahjr Wiliiams thought that the matter
aheuid be left to the discretion of the court.
The vote on tbe passage of the bill re
sulted; Yeas 13, nays 18, and the bill was
lost.

contracts to-day covering the months of

BERRIEN’S TRAGEDY.
A Fuller Account of the Fatal Wound
ing of Mo-re.
Alapaha, Ga., Sept. 10. —The following
is a fuller account than that published yes
terday in the Morning News of the Ber
j rien county tragedy. The yearly meeting
at Flat Creek Primitive Baptist church,
Berrien couutv, was held last Saturday and
Suuday. A large concourse of people were
in attendance, and among them two young
men, w.ankling enemies, who had come
under appointment to sett.e a difficulty
that had its origin at a Primitive Baptist
yearly meeting at Brushy Creek church,
Irwin county, a mor.th previous.
Jesse Moore, a you! g married man and a
descendant of one of the beet families in
Berrien county, was one of the parties.
Tho other was Rea-on Fletcher, a beardless
youth and a member of one of the best
families of Irwin county.
As stated, they had come to Flat Creek
church to settle on some terms a difficulty
originating at a church in Irwin county,
which first arose between brothers of Jesse
Moore and cousins of Reason Fletcher.
A RECONCILIATION.
Through the agency of friends of both
parties, apparenily, a reconciliation had
bean brought ab- ut, but just after the
meeting adjourned on Saturday it was
sprung again. Again friends intervened,
and finally an agreement was reached that
the two young men mentioned should set
tle it by a fair and square ‘‘fist and skull”
fight. Accordingly tuey retired, discharged
their pistols, laid them aside and wont into
the battle. Everybody stood back and the
fight proceeded unmolested. In the fight
Moore came out “first best.” They
then shook hands for friendship
and returned to the crowd, but
on the way back something was said that
rekindled the flame and when they came up
with the other members of the party
Fletcher demanded of Moore that tie fight
his (Fletcher's! brother who was much lar
ger and stouter than himself.’ They re
fused, giving as a reason that they had
nothing against each other. Other words
passed between them, not now remembered
by those present, but they culminated
in the young mon drawing their pistols,
which had been reloaded in the meantime,
and commenced shooting at each other.
One of Moore’s shots took effect in Fletcher’s
leg. Inflicting a wound considered neither
serious nor dangerous.
MOORF.’S WOUNDS.
Two of Fletcher’s shots hit Moore, one,
supposed to be the first, entered the left
breast between the second aud third ribs,
and it was decided it had lodged near his
spinal column as it had the effect of para
lyzing his lower limbs to a great extent.
The other shot entered the throat, but
glanced around tho larynx and lodged some
where in tbe back of tho neck. Medical aid
was immediately called for Moore, and,
while ho is still alive, little hopes are enter
tained of his recovery,
Fletcher left immediately after the shoot
ing and has not been arrested.
Both parties were considerably under the
influence of whisky.
A similar homicide occurred at this
church two years ago.
A SCANDAL IN COURT.
An Atlanta Blood's Liason With a
Mulatto Made Public.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—A very sensa
tional and unusual case is forcing itself into
publicity through the courts hero. There is
a man in it aud a girl. The man is James
Jacobs, a brother of tbe drug
store man. The girl, following
the legal definition that prevails in
Georgia, is a white woman. In appearance
she would readily be mistaken for a white
woman, as that terra is commonly under
stood. She is Addle Goodlet, daughter of
Jim Goodlet, a barber. She is remarkably
handsome and intelligent, and just 16 years
old. About a week ago the two were
arrested at a place of assignation. They were
arraigned in the olty court and both
pleaded guilty to tile usual charge. Jacobs
paid a fine of SSO and cists, p'eading guilty
to avoid having the testimony become pub
lic. The girl pleaded guilty, it was expected
that Jacobs would pay her fine, but be re
fused to do so, and she was sent to jail.
Warrants for seduction and bastardy were
sworn out by the girl's father. Jacobs
easily gave bond, as it was required.
LOVESICK LETTERS.
To-day some very interesting reading
matter was put in the hands of a lawyer.
This was a correspondence of several
months’ duration. Jacobs appears to have
been wildly infatuated. He uddresses her
as “My darling,” “llv angel,” “My own”
and the like, and signs himself “Your loving
husband,” and the like. The letters abound
in poetry and tbe most extiavagant love
sick prose. The correspondence would fill
several volumes of ordinary size. The
white lover is despondent, ecstatic, poetic
aud jealous by turns, .Several appoint
ments are made for trips away from
Atlanta. It appears that the two were
registered at Union Point, and perhaps at
other places, as man and wife. “The loving
husband” speaks in several places or having
kissed her, going to show that the girl
passed as a white woman in public. There
is no hint or* suggestion of the color-line
in this correspondence. This is rather
the more remarkable as Jacobs has been
posing as one of the young bloods about
town aud is really well connected. He is
cqmpamouable, dresses well and he
was doing fairly well In business.
Last of all, the correspondence furnishes
the basis for still another criminal ciqp
against Jacobs —that of attempting to se
cure an operation. Drugs were furnished
the girl with directions in Jacobs’
bandwriting. An accusation will
be sworn out in the city
court to-morrow charging Jacobs with
this offense. Solicitor Frank O’Brien is to
be assisted by several able members of the
loaal bar and the prosecution will be pushed
vigorously.
ARANSAS PASS’ BAR
Dynamite Experiments Similar to
Those at Brunswick Probable.
Brunswick, Ga, Sept. JO.—Dispatches
yesterday told the story of the exploded
boom of Aransas Lass, Texas. The story goes
that Russell Harrison’s Land Company sold
their boom lots uuder an agreement to have
deep water in their harbor in May, but
failed. His land purchasers refuse to pay
more on their notes. Communications are
now passing between Brunswick and
Aransas. As Aransas is endeavoring to
deepen her harbor and secure more money,
she wants to try Brunswick’s successful
dynamite experiment on her bar aud is
writing for pointers. A committee of ex
amination may visit Brunswick.
Three Deaths at Athens.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 10.—Walter Chand

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1891.
! BERNER'S BILL ON TOP.
'the judiciary committee to
REPORT IT FAVORABLY.
The C harter Forfeiture Clause Elimin
ated -A Substitute Offered by Mr.
Good win Rejected-Closer Regula
tion of Interstate Traffic Called for.
Mr. Clifton Puts in a Word for the
Roads.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.—Tbe general
judiciary committee of tho House met
to-night to take final action on the Berner
bill to prevent railroad monopoly and pre
vent the defeat of competition.- The bill
wns favorably reported. At the opening of
the meeting Mr. Berner read a letter from
Maj. J. F. Hanson of Macon, who had ap
peared before tho committee as a represent
ative of the cotton manufacturing interests
of the state. Maj. Hanson’s letter criticised
some of the language used by Mr. Spalding,
who appeared before the committee against
the Berner bill.
GOODWIN’S SUBSTITUTE.
Mr. Goodwin of Fulton submitted to the
committee a substitute for the bill under
consideration, which gave to tbe railroad
commissioners power at their discretion,
when the public interest required it, to in
vestigate leas-s and contracts. It provides
for a fine of $5,060 to be imposed by the
commission on the corporation if its con
tracts ware found to be in violation
of the constitution. It gave
tho commission authority to regulate rates
and tariffs with reference to reasonable
earning capacity of the roads when oper
ated economically at a proper capitaliza
tion. When roads increased their stock or
bonded indebtedness they should submit a
statement of their affairs. Mr. Goodwin
made an argument of some length in sup
port of his substitute, and said Mr. Ber
ner’s biff aimed at harrassing tbe railroads
unnecessarily.
INTERSTATE REGULATIONS.
He also submitted resolutions calling on
the senators and representatives of Georgia
in congress to have passed such legislation
as would give full power to the interstate
commission to regulate traffic outside of the
state. Ho thought the two commissions
using their full power and acting harmon
iously would solve the uuestion of rates.
Mr. Berner explained again the objects of
his bill, following the line of his argument
made last night. He went into a discussion
of the intent of the constitutional provision
in regard to competition, and gave a history
of its consideration by conventions. All
railroad legislation had, he said, been op
posed. The act creating the commission had
been oried out against. The work of the
joint rate commission had been fought, and
the Olive bill had been fought. But all
railroad legislation hod Loan healthful, and
railroad values were higher to-day than
they had ever been.
A WORD FOR THE ROADS.
Mr. Clifton said he thought the legisla
ture should give up the tight against the
railroads, and take up the broad principles
of the alliance and fight for them. He
cited the good the railroads had done for
the state, and said he spoke because his col
league, Maj. Rvals, had urged him to
do so.
Chairman Hill put the question on report
ing favorably tbe substitute of Mr. Good
win. It was voted down by 8 to 7. Mr.
Berner then moved *hat a favorable report
be madeou tbe original bill as amended by
tho striking out of the forfeiture of
O'!arter clause. The motion was carried,
and the bill will be reported to the House
in tbe morning and. will be taken up as a
special order next week. The vote of the
committee on reporting the bill favorably
was as follows:
V kas — Messrs. Davis. Lewis, Dunwodv,
Lars, Humphreys, Smith, Harper aD(i Berner.
Navs—Messrs. Gilbert, Holtzvlaw, Goodwin,
Martin, Clifton, Williams, Baxter.
THE NEWEST TONSORIAL FAD.
Young Men Who Like to Have Their
Hair Sprinkled With Gray.
From the New York World.
“Black and white are opposition, and
American people fly from one extreme to
the Other,’’said Charlie Jost, the tonsorial
expert at Thirteenth street and Broadway,
who boasts that ho has trimmed and dyed
more heard tL.au any other man in the busi.
ne.s. “The time was when mon wanted
their hair black, and dyeing was right in it
“Now it is bacoming the fashion to have
the hair sprinkled with gray around the
temples. It gives a man a distinguished
look and the women like the effect. This
process of bleaching is of oourse gradual.
After three skilful applications the job is
complete. Sporting men get gray early
enough and it seems strange that they are
the very ones lhat have started this arti
ficial method.
“A few actors have also begun the fad,
and it is not improbable that in time it will
be the accepted fashion. Men powdered
their hair once. Fashionables, as well as
sports and actors may soon begin to bleach.
“When dying was fashionable, barbers
made money. Every gambler had a rich
mustache that was always kept a glistening
cool black. During the war I worked for
Phelan, who, old New York will remem
ber, kept his place in the Dey house. The
Bpot is now occupied by the Western Union
building.
“lt was the best shop in the city. Sports
from the gamiug houses, then on Ann
street, oatronized it liberally. Then, too,
John C. Heenan kept a p ace not far away
on Broadway aud the Hoenauites all dved.
There was an endless outpour of blackens and
beards and mustaches.
“During the first year of tha war this
line of business took a gigantic jump. Mail
of 50 would get well dyed and come out
looking no older than 33. They got good
bounties.
“So popular was dyeing then that Phelan
ha l a room exclusively devoted to it. I
have seen twenty men.walting their turn.
They paid from $3 to $5 a head. The men
in the shojwreoeived 20 per cent, of the dye
Inoney, and you can imagine we did well.
“Few mustaches are dyed now. I think
that this bleaching of men’s hair will catch
on very largely. 1 already have live regu
lar bleach era.”
REAL SKY-SCRAPEIS.
The Sort of Till Bul!ding3 Which Chi
cago is l eaching- For.
From the Chicago Post.
The plaus are announced of an Odd Fel
lows’ temple, to be erected on a down-town
corner, to the dazzling teght ot 550 feet, an
eminence which surpaAes the Washington
monument by one foot arid the spire ot the
Cologne cathedral by forty-five feet. The
so-culled teriiple will, in fact, be a business
building, except as to that comparatively
small portion used by the Odd Fellows for
lodge rooms.
There is no business building of this size
now in existence. The Masonic temple,
now being ereoted in this city, will rise to
the bight of twenty stories, or 275 feet,
and the auditorium tower is eighteen
stories, or 270 feet high. But pilo this Ossa
atop of this Peilon and the summit would
still come 11 feet short of the projected
Odd Fellows’ temple. Of other buildings
hitherto considered high Chicago has no
lack. The W. C. T. U. temple is 200 feet
high, the Chicago hotel 160 feet, the Mon
adneck building 204 feet. But the com
bined bight of these throe surpasses the
Odd Fellows’ temple by only 17 feet. In
New York a twenty-eight-story office
building lias teen projected for a lot on
lower Broadway, but this is to reach the
trifling altitude of only 550 feet.
The millions invested in the sky-scrapers
are not paid out for sentiment, but to the
eßd cf earning dividends for the investors.
In this commercial age that fact must be
accepted as au excuse for their existence.
For. however interesting they rtay be as
feats of architectural engineering, these
lanky structures are essentially ugly and
offensive to the eye.
