STATE WHISKY LICENSE:
THE HOUSE PASSES THE BILL FIX
ING IT AT S2OO.
The Tares MemDers From Chatham
Vote Against It—An Interesting
Parliamentary Point Comes Up for
Decision—The Bill to Issue New
State Bonds Recommitted to the
Committee.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 18.—The House took
up the whisk}- tax bill to-day as the special
order. Three amendments were offered: The
first by Mr. Graves of No wton.to reduce the
proposed tax from |2OO to $100; the socondby
Mr.Craigoof Gilmer,readmg:“And provide I
further, that this tax shall not be required
of manufacturers of spirituous or malt
liquors who sell in the original packages of
not less than tea gallons;” and the third, by
Mr. Cagie of Pickens, to strike out the
words; “Grown on their own lauds,” s > as
to make general the exemption of dealers in
domestic wines, etc. The first of these
was the most important. Then the previous
question was ordered and the House voted
on the three amendments in the order given.
The Graves amendment was lost by a vote
of 69 to 75. and the Craigo amendment was
lost by a vote of 42 to 91. Then the Cagle
amendment was killed, stripping the bill of
all incumbrances.
A PARLIAMENTARY POINT.
Just here an interesting parliamentary
question came up. The rule is that when the
main question is put upon a bill with an
adverse report the author of the bill is en
titled to twenty minutes to argue in favor
of his bill. The cbairm in of the committee
making the adverse report is entitled in
turn to twenty minutes to sustain that re
port. Mr. Berner thought that Mr. Huff,
as the author of tse bill, had no right to
twenty minutes when the question was
upon the passage of the bill, that his right
to spoak was only upon the question of
agreeing to the adverse report, that when
the whole effect of an adverse report was
entirely removed from the question by dis
agreeing to the report that the bill was
under the same rule with other
bills as to the method of passage,
the author having no such
special right.
HOWELL GIVES HIM THE TIME.
Speaker Howell ruled to the contrary,that
Mr. Huff, as author of the bill, had twenty
minutes to argue in behalf of it.
“Then,” said Mr. Fleming, “the gentle
man from Bibb is entitled to twenty
minutesto speak in behalf of the bill as its
author, and then twenty minutes to speak
against it as chairman of the committee.”
"That is the technical construction of the
rule, “said the speaker.
'“Will Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde speak
first i” asked Mr. Fleming.
. Of course, Mr. Huff used bis time as
author of the bill, makiug a very üble and
effective speech for it, and yielded the com
mittee's time to the opponents of the meas
ure.
Mr. Fleming replied to Mr. Huff.
The bill then passed in the original shape,
putting the license at S2OO. The vote was
©4 to 48. Messrs. Clifton, Hartridge and
Ryals voted “no.”
THE FUNDING BILL.
The funding bill was taken up next. This
proposed to issue bonds of the state to the
amount of $300,000, to pay off that portion
of the debt falling due in 1892, to bear in
terest at a rate not over 4Li per cent., etc.
Mr. Huff, ohairman oi the finance com
mittee, spoke for it. Mr. Fleming argued
against the bill upon constitutional grounds.
It was unanswerable logic, and finally Mr.
Huff consented that the bill be “recom
mitted to the finance committee with in
structions to amend, or prepare such other
bills as will be necessary to effect a payment
of SIOO,OOO of the bonds falling due July,
1892, and effect a funding of the romaiutug
$207,000 of said bonds.”
REDEMPTION OF PROPERTY.
A bill by Mp. Lewis of Hancock came up
on third reading—“To provide for the re
demption uf property wild at sheriff’s sale.”
It was passed at the afternoon session by a
vote of 88 to 6.
An important bill by Mr. Tatum of Dade
was passed. It takes away from the fees
now allowed oil Inspectors “5 cents a mile
for each mile traveled and his other actual
expenses. - ’
Nineteen other bills were passed at the
afternoon session. Among them was oue
by Mr. Dunwody of Glynn to Incorporate
the Brunswick and Altamaha Canal Com
paay.
In the Senate.
In the HenatA this morning Senator
Candler offered a resolution providing for
adjournment on Sept. 23. The
resolution called forth several amend
ments, staving off adjournment and some
disousssion, led by Senator 'Terrell. It was
finally tabled by a vote of 17 to 13. The
body met at 9 o’clock this morning and
after the disposition of the adjournment
resolution stuck to routine business without
any oratorical embellishments. The session
ended at coon, an hour earlier than the reg
ular reoess hour, owing to the early start,
the clerk’s desk being thoroughly cleared of
business when the motion to adjourn until
9 o’clock Monday morning was made.
Macon’s water works.
Probably the most important business
during the session was the passage of the
Macon water works bill, which went
through without comment or opposition,
after having such a breezy time in the
House.
Senator Todd's bill to further provide for
the liens of contractors, mechanics, mate
rial men and laborers was the special order.
Mr. Todd end Mr. Cabaniss supported the
bill, but no quorum being present on ac
count of a meeting of the agricultural com
mittee the bill was tabled.
A dozen or more local bills were read the
third time and passed, but nothing of gen
eral importance came up for consideration.

ago Perry Turner, then a boy, was convicted
in Sumter superior court of breaking into a
negro’s bouse and stealing a pair of shoes.
He was sentenced by Judge Fort to ten
years in the penitentiary. The good
character of bis father, and Perry's long
service and good conduct in the peniton
tiary induced some white friends to petition
for a pardon. Gov. INorthea issued his par
don last Wednesday, but it was too late.
After tbe message of freedom reached the

the Democratic Platforms.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. Is.—“We are going
to fight to have the sub-treasury plank put
in the state democratic platform, and we
aro going to fight to have it put in the
national democratic platform.”
This was the declaration of Congressman
Livingston before a large audience ox legis
lators utid citizens in the House of Repre
sentatives to-night, where he delivered an
address in responso to an invitation from
! the House.
“if we succeed will you democrats stand
jon it with us .'” he continued. "If you don’t
j you will have to go into the third
! party. If we do not succeed,
|if you boat us in our fight,
i we will stand with you on the platform you
i build for the democra’ic hosts. We are go
ing to fight out our battlo in the Democratic
party. All we ask is fairness and good
faith.” He said there were all sorts of demo
crats, high tariff, low tariff and protection
democrats; but still they were democrats
and were not n3sailed.
THE ALLIANCKMEN DEMOCRATIC.
The allianoemen were democrats, sub
treasury democrats, and why they should
be assailed I ecause of foaitv to that plank
he did not know.
WANTS PEACE AND HARMONY.
“We are for peace and harmony,” bo
said. “If we cannot agree, let us get to
gether and devisj something better than
we have yet conceived." Col. Living-ton’e
speech was pronounced as conservative
nnd conciliatory in a marked degree,
and if his declared terms are accepted
In good faith, there need t e no further
doubt as to the third party intentions of the
alliance. He, however, accused the Demo
cratic party of plnntiug the third party
germ by abusing the alliance and its leaders
and the derision of the sub treasury plan.
He went for tbo newspapers in his usual
shirt-sleeva position, and took occasion to
talk about Sockless Jerry Simpson's visit
south. ' ‘They say,” said he, ‘ ‘he’s been
riding in a palace car with Simpson and
Weaver. There’s no democracy in him.
Wo can smell a little of Simpson and Lease
clothes on him.”

The Phosphate Works Being Pushed
to Completion.
Boston, Ga., Sept. 18.—Dunwoodv Jones,
founder and superintendent of the Georgia
Phosphate and Mining Company, is rushing
tbe works to completion as rapidly as pos
sible. He, with his corps of assistants and
a largo force of laborers, has been building
side-tracks, cottages, and laving machinery’
for crushing and pulverizing tbe rock. Tbe
works will be in full blast by Oct. 1. This
is one of the latest enterprises here and will
prove a great benefit, for Boston proper and
her surroundings, giving employment to 75
to 125 men. The capacity of the machinery
is forty-five tons of crushed and pulverized
rock per lay. Thus the product of these
rniues will be ready for the manufacturers
when it leaves bare. Their mines are very
rich, and enough phosphate is in sight to
keep them running for years. They have
already 800 tons in their warehouses to
start with, and will begin shipping the pul
verized and crushed phosphate after Oct. 1.
The street® of Boston have been crowded
with country people for tbo past month
marketing cotton. Cotton is being brought
here to market from near Monticello, Fla.,
Tbomasviile and Quitman. Farmers claim
that Boston is paying them more for their
cotton than the above markets. The two
gins of the alliance are kept crowded to
their full oapacitv. Horn's gin runs day
and night to keep up with thoir work. This
bas been one of the busiest seasons Boston
ever experienced. Cotton receipts show a
large increase compared with the receipts
of tamo date a year ago, in spite of the low
market.

A FORTUNE IN B'OHT.
Mrs. Potruch’s Struggle With Poverty
and Prospective Release.
New York, Sept. 13.—Mrs. Rebecca Po
truch, a thin, shrunken woman, whose
deeply lined face evidences many hard
tussels with poverty and hardship, and
whose hair is tinged with gray, lives
at 147 Clinton street in rooms that are
Bmall,dimly lighted and sparsely furnished.
Her husband, Marcus Potruch, is well • a
townrd 60 years of age, arid his battle with
life has boon a hard one. He is a watch
maker by trade, but bis earnings are
so small that his wife and children would
starve were they dependent upon him.
Sometimes he earns 80 cents and sometimes
$1 a day, but more often he earns less than
$1 50 a week. But good luck has come to
the old couple at last, Mrs. Potrucb, accord
ing to her belief, having fallen heir to manv
millions of dollars. Six months ago a well
known physician named Joseph Petruch
died in San Francisco. He left a fortune
variously estimated between slo,O X),000 and
$15,000,000. He left no children, and the
two women whom he had married died
many years ago. There was no relative to
claim his money, most of which was inves
ted in government bonds and railway stock
in this and European countries.
Dr. Joseph i otruch had a peculiar his
tory. He was born in the town of Vilnoch,
Russia, sixty-two years ngo. His fathar
was a big mill owner and had the contract
for making the bread for that portion of
the Russian army stationed near his home.
AVhon Joseph Potruch was 16 years of age
his father and mother were killed in an ex
plosion. The property left was g ibbled uo
by strangers, and in six months young
Potruch was left to shift for himself.
He had one sister, named Re
becca. who was about 6 years old
at the time of the accident which
made her an orphan. Tbe girl was taken
by relatives, and they roared her. Joseph
started out to take care of himself, and
eventually he drifted to London. Occa
sionally he wrote to his uncle aud aunt
with wh m his sister was living, and these
letters said that he had found work and
had saved enough money to educate him
self for the profession of medicine. When
he was 22 years old they received the last
letter from him. Ho wrote that he had be
come a physician, and that he war about to
start for tbj gold fields of California, where
he was sure to make money. That was
forty years ago.
His si tor Rebecca grew up and married a
man in her native town named Louis Schal
run. They had one child, a boy, who was
christened Louis. When the boy was 2
years old the father died. Two years after
her husband’s death Mrs. Schalrun married
again. this time a fifth or sixth cousin named
Marcus Potruch. By him she had three
children, all of whom are now living and
reside with her in the Clinton s roet tene
ment. The son by the first husband is 26
years of age, and works as salesman in a
hardware store in Vesey street. He gets a
good salary and has been the main support
of too family for several years.
Two years ago a friend who knew Mrs.
Potruch in Rum -la and was familiar with
her Distory and also that of hpr brother,
and who came to this country shortly before
she did, called upon and told her that her
brother had died in San Francisco and had
loft the fortune of ?14.000,00d. This friend
had been in San Franciaco for the past
year aud was there when Dr. Potruch died.
Following his instructions, Mrs. Pot _ uoi
consulted a lawyer, and ho advised her to
send her son Alexander to San Francisco to
investigate the death of Dr. Potruch and
consult lawyers there, who will put in a
claim for the fortune. Young Potruch (ill
leave for the west iu a few daya. "
GAINKSViLLE GLEANINGS.
A Healthy Growth but No Boom—New
Rutlding-a Going Up.
Gainesville, Fla., Sept. 18. —Boom,
boom auy other city as it may like. Gaines
ville has no boom, neither does it wish any,
for after a few years of a Rip Van Winkle
snooze she has shaken off the "rheumatiz,’’
caught by slumbering in the dark air of a
boom, aud her stride now, though not so
brisk as when a few years ago she was
with eager heart bounding up the mountain
slope, is firm, free and steady.
Philip Miller has in course of erection
three handsome two-etory brick business
houses. Dr. J. T. McMillan lias another just
beside them, while the First National Bank
and J. P. Bauknighc aro placing two more
Bt ii les on their buildings adjoining the
Brown house. The last will be cut into
suits of rooms to be used by the hotel.
J. R. Eddins has just about completed
one of the most tasty residences ever erected
in the city, and Clarence Stringfellow has
recently moved into his elegant new home,
while his brother, Robert, is getting ready
to duplicate it on an adjoining lot.
Mr. Baird of the firm of Baird, Eddins
& Swearingen, will soon move into his ele
gant new house, while G. K. Broome is
erecting a comfortable dwelling to be used
by Rev. A. B. Curry of the First Presby
terian church.
Hook streets, rock culverts and crossings,
tile draining and tree planting is the order
of the day. AH the stores and rooms above
were let before the structures were begun.
Two new family grocery stores have been
opened in the last' week which runs the

Our city government is now in proper
working order and a committee of three al
dermen are in Fernan Una making a critical
examination of her water system prepara

plenty of the purest water by the ides of June.
Several of the magnates of the Savannah,
Florida and Western aud as many more of
the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West system hail their heads together here
yeterday ands mething is expected to grow
out of the contact, but what it will be no
one can now say.
Some seem to think they were settling
upon anew tariff schedule for the coming
o; ange and vegetable crop, others that the
conference had reference to the widening
of the gauge of the Florida Southern, w hile
stili others believe both these to to true,
aud more still that the Savannah, Florida
and Western came to put the little Gaines
ville, Rocky Point and Micauopy railroad
into its overcoat pocket, preparatory to ex
tending it tojPemberton’s Ferry, lo sibly to
Tampa. As the contract made between the
Florida Southern and the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western some years ago precluded
the latter ootnpany from extending its line
further south from this point, it is quite
likely that the Gainesville, Rocky point and
Micanopy will to the scapegoat by which
tbo Savannah, Florida and Western
will reach salt water. The Gaines
ville aud Tallahassee linen seem to be,
lise Mr. Micawber. waiting for something
to turn up, for they are not turning up dirt
very fast toward this point.
The growers in and around Micanopy and
Orange Lake say th t the crop of orunges
this year will be double that of last, aud are
engaging hands and buying boxes now iu
anticipation of the early ripening of tbe
largest crop yet produced.
A lawyer from Washington city has been
in the city for several days in the interest of
the Aokerly heirs, claimants of tbe cele
brated Fort Brooke reservation. It seems
that if no further contest is made by any
one els 9 patents will issue to the heirs of
Ackerly, but as Mrs. Carew, now on the
property, is not disposed to allow it to go to
them undisputed, to get her out of the con
test has been the mission of said attorney.
Bhe has been offered $3,000 to yield her
claim, said amount to to secured by a mort
gage on the realty, with permission to
reside on it until the sum is paid.
The city council has cancelled the sale of
tbe court house, made by the outgoing city

The c.ty was reposing in the belief that

but this morning Rob Barton found a reg

Sammy, a son of J. Maxey Dell, was
thrown from a horse yesterday and severe
ly though not dangerously hurt. Mr. Dell
had his shoulder dislocated in the same way
two months ago and another son was hurt
by a runaway horse a short while after,
making three of the same family hurt in
the same way during the short space of two
months.
If you libo you may listen to as touching
a little story as ever came from tongue or
pen. In this state lives a kind, good
woman, who has had a very grievous
domestic trouble, and being childless, it
drove her into melancholia. Meeting a
mutual acquaintance. I asked after her
condition. ‘Well, said he, I can hardly tell
you. She looks after her flowers and her
parrot—a very smart bird, whose antics it
would make your heart sick to see. Its
mistress has wept and sighed so muen over
her trouble in its Jtbat whenever
a stranger or friend conies to visit her it
will run off behiud a door or throw itself
on a sofa or bed and tremble, sigh, moan,
and make sounds like one weeping aud sob
bing, until tfco hardest hear:, knowing the
circumstances, would be wrung with pity
for its mistress, and stand wide-eyed with
amazement at the wonderful power of
mimicry of human misery possessed by the
bird.
Almost as pathetic &s the above is the
preaching under the oaks of a man 01 years
old to a dozeu negroes and half as many
curious whites. He struck the city yester
day and says he hails from Atlanta. His
name is J. C. Jamison. Ho is either terri
bly in earnest or mildly insane, but he
seems to be as fully convinced of his sanity
as ho is of the insanity of all wiio do not
agree with him. He says ho has been fifteen
times in the hands of the rulers, twice in
Atlanta, bu; on each and every occasion
God has opened the prison bars and set him
at liberty. He preaches on the street, at
tracting his audience by pacing the sido
waiks and crying in a stentorian voice:
“Come out and hear the gospel,” “Leave
your business and come aud receive tbe
word without money and without price.”
As he is docile, and our people are kindlv
disposed toward strangers, he cau preach
here to his heart’s content.

MEDICAL.
SCROFULA
Is that impurity of the Mood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings in the neck;
which causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the
eyes, oars, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or “humors;” which, fasten
ing upon the lungs, causes consumption and
death. It is the most ancient of all diseases,
and very few persons are entirely free from it.
H '°:*r cured
By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for tills disease. If you suffer from
scrofula, try Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years Old, being a 4erriblo suficrer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from
head to feet- We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy.”
