moval from office.”
Mr. Gilbert of Muscogee introduced a res
olution authorizing the governor to appoint
a commission of not more than three per
sons,who shall serve without expense to the
state, to meet and confer with similar com
missions from other states, the object of
this being to bring about uniformity in the
laws of ail the states upon eertaia subjects.
This reform movement started in New
York and several states in sympathy with
its object.
Quits a number of resolutions, which
do not mean anything, were introduced
looking to an adjournment. Mr. Sibley of
Cobb broke the record by proposing four ses
sions a day, from (i to 8 o’clock in the morn
ing : from 9 to 1 o’clock, from 3 to 5 o’clock
and from 8 to 10 o’clock.
Mr. Twitty of Jackson proposed that
"this House confine itself to the considera
tion of local bills and charters, the general
appropriation bill and the railroad measure
reported by the judiciary committee.” The
railroad measure referred to is the Berner
bilL Ail the resolutions went just as usual
—to the committee on rules.
Mr. Holtzclaw of Houston introduced a
bill to authorise the mayor and council of
any incorporated town or oity to elect threo
resident freeholders to constitute a board of
assessors, who shall value and assess all
property in said town or city liable for tax
ation.

therefrom the word “dentists. ’’

nah.
a conscientious veto.
The governor’s veto message on the bill
by Mr. Wooten to incorporate the town of
Hardawary in Dougherty county, was re
ceived in the House ai its afternoon session.
The message of the governor was as follows :
I return House bill No. 689 without my ap
provaL lam informed that at Hardaway, the
locality sought to be incorporated as a town, is
a railway station in the county of Dougherty.
The station has near it one store, a ginnery and
a large plantation. All the land adjacent is
owned by one citizen, except possibly one lot.
Tbs population Is made up of seven white per-
oocs, among them the agent at the sta
tine, and four clerks in the single
•tore, together with the colored tenants
pc the adjacent farm. Near the station is
mount Enon church. Until the recent act of
aha general assembly, forbidding the sale of
Whisky within three miles of any church or
•shc-obhouse exoept in incorporated towns.
Whisky has been sold at Hardaway. The policy
adopted by the general assembly will
r>rohit>U the sate of whisky at Hardaway. If
he tail incorporating the locality as a town
should become a law the town coun
cil could authorise the sale. To
jwrant this charter would practically
HJiefeat the policy of the state as to the restric
'TJon mentioned and establish the precedent of
Incorporating plantations and neighborhoods
where a few Individuals might desire to clothe
themseives with all the powers and authority
of municipalities The legislature could, with
the fame propriety, charter every large planta
tion In Georgia. For these reasons 1 disap
prove the proposed act.
W. J. Nobthen, Governor.
AN IMPLICATION.
Mr. Lewis thought the language of the
message seemed to imply that the governor
thought the committee reported favorably,
and the legislature had pasted the bill with
a view to evading the general law passed
in regard to whisky selliug.
Mr. Woo tee, who introduced the bijl,
thought the governor had acted conscien
tiously. and accepted the veto graeofuliy.
The House resolution authorinngjthe pay
ment of S4OO to W. J. Houston for export
services in the betterments investigation
was favorably reported aud passed by a
vote of 106 to 1, Mr. Sears voting against
it.
The resolution of Mr. Huff, calling on the
governor to have the state represented id
any litigation which may arise between the
Western and Atlantic railway and other
roads aiming to uso the union depot prop
erty and the right of way, was passed
A minority report was presented by Mr.
,4400*1 win on the Berner bill. The report
includes the bill of Mr. Goodwin, which
submitted to the committee as a substitute
for the Berner measure. The report is
signed by Messrs. Goodwin, Martin, Gilbert,
Williams, Holtxclaw aud Clifton.

GANTT’S PAPES.
Characteristic Paragraphs From the
Editorial Page.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14. —The first issue
of the Sou.thern Alliance Farmer, under
I-arry Gantt’s management appeared to
day. The editorial paragraphs are thor
oughly characteristic. One is this:
“ Brethren, one ballot is worth a thousand
boycotts."
Another one is of interest as news, and is
as follows:
“J .O.'.Wynne has not as yet been arrested
but it is the general impression that he will
be indicted when the Fulton county grand
jury meets.”
Still another shows that newspapers have
been hard at work on tbs editor, but he has
no ill-feelings toward them.
"The average Atlanta newspaper reporter
is a cross between a oork screw and a bot
tle of concentrated lie. They are clever
boys, however, and have to earn their
salary.”
ATLANTA’S POLICE
One of the Officers Discharged for
Using Profane Language.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14. —The polioe com
mission bold its regular meeting to-night.

charged from the force Patrolman William
Herrington. Herrington had two charges
against him—one was for brutally beating
a negro be had arrested, and another was
using profane language in the presence
of a lady. It was on this latter
charge that the commission found him
guilty. There was also considerable talk
about the detective force, the members of
which are paid by the city, leaving
their own work and working for
every reward they see a chance of
securing. Just now oae of the members is
near Savannah, engaged in a search for
the express robbers. There is a strong
probability of a radical reform in this part
of the police foroe.
THROUGH FREIGHT RAIE3.
Two Roads to Be Placed Before the
Interstate Commission.

rate question will be carried before the in
terstate commerce commission. Such is the
decision of the state railway commission.
The question on this matter of through
rates will take in the East Tennessee aud
Western aud Atlantic roads. The oom
plaint is that these lines are charging, con
trary to the rules, higher rates
of freight from western points
to points above Atlanta than they do
to Atlanta. In the investigation which was
made it was found that the rates charged
by the Riohmond aud Danville were ac
cording to the rules of the commission. The
papers in the cose are to be turned over to
Assistant Attorney General Little with in
structions to make a case before the inter
state commission.

euwlon will relate to the reduction of the

TITE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1891.
A BERIOU6 CUTTING AFFRAY.
H. J. Jones Dangerously Wounded by
J. J. Pittman.
A serious and possibly fatal catting
affray took place between two young white
men at Montgomery and Harris streets
shortly before 1 o’clock this morning. The
participant* were EL J. Jones and J. J. Pitt
man. Jones is in St. Joseph’s Infirmary
suffering from three terrible wounds, and
Pittman is locked up In the barracks.
The trouble started about a young woman.
According to Jones’story he attended a ball
last night, to which the woman was accom
panied by Pittman’s brother. After arriv
ing at the ball-room her escort didn’t be
have right, and Jones offered his services to
see her borne. She accepted, and just os
they reached the stoop Pittman, who didn’t
like the way the young lady
had treated his brother, and had
followed her and Jones from
the ball room, stepped up and began to
use unbecoming language.
Jones started toward Pittman to resent
the insults but the latter, according to
Jones' story, met him with an open knife
and slashed him across the abdomen. The
wounded man staggered and attempted to
draw his knife to protect himself, but
before he could get it out of his
pocket Pittman gave him a deep
stab in the back and followed It quickly
with a slash in the shoulder. Jones man
aged to get his knife out and gave Pittman
a slight cut in the head, after which he fell
to the ground.
The young woman’s screams created con
siderable excitement in the neighborhood
and attracted the attention of Officer Unger,
who reached the scene in time to arrest Pitt
man. The police ambulance was sent for
and Jonas taken to the barracks, where ha
was attended by Dr. Carrington, acting
health officer. The physician dressed the
wounds and sent Jones to Bt. Joseph’s In
firmary. He considers his condition very
eerious, and the wound in the abdomen
may lead to fatal results
Pittman claims that Jones attacked him
first. He threw his knife away before the
policeman arrested him.
RAIL AND CROS9TI3.
General Superintendent Moßee said yes
terday that there is no list of Central rail
road ohanges following the recent visit of
the general offioials of the Richmond and
Danville that he knows of. It was.expected
that some change would be announced in
the offioe of Controller Edward Mclntyre,
as it is known that the officials had this
office under consideration during their visit
here. For the benefit of those who do not
understand the situation it may be said
that Mr. Mclntyre tendered his resignation
as controller some time since, which was
accepted, and he is now holding over, await
ing the appointment of a successor. The
office of controller has been abolished, but
the different departments of the controller’s
office may be consolidated under an auditor
here instead of being removed to Atlanta.
Tho fate of the office is at present iu a state
of uncertainty, but the Richmond and Dan
ville officials will probably settle it this
week.
LIVINGSTON ASKS FAIR PLAY.
A Rumor That He May be Treated
Discourteously at the Rally.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14.— A story was
used in the Herald this afternoon that has
aroused considerable discussion here. It
was to the effect that at the democratic
rally to-morrow night Col. Livingston
would be assailed and annoyed with ques
tions and interruptions, and th at there was
a tendency to cry him down and ridicule
him. It is not believed that anything of
that sort would be tolerated, as Col. Liv
ingston will be the guest of his audience, on
an equal footing with Congressman Crisp
and the other speakers. “I would not have
boen present, ’’ said Col. Livingston to-night,
"but for the fact that I was invited to
speak, and I shall certainly expect to be
treated respectfully. lam a democrat, but
oven if I were not and had bean invited, as
I have been, I should demand to be treated
as the other speakers.”
