Hammond and Berner and Bloodworth of Forsyth and Hall aud Hammond of Atlanta. Tbe case will be stubbornly fought on both sides. Over fifty witnesses have been summoned and interest is at fever heat.

The large amount the Richmond Terminal charged the East Tennessee for the use of the Central railroad’s tracks in coming ud to the White hall street cr emg is tue basis of the trouble. For the useof the Central railroad track for a half mil' they charged the East Tennessee road SIB,OOO a month. This the East Tennessee thought too muoh and de clined to pav it, and the Riohm nd Termi nal Company threatened a suit to collect.

Nov. 30.—When the anti barroom campaign committee began its prosecution of tbe illegal registrations for the election, which comes off Wednesday, tbe chief of police issued an order directing bis men not to assist the justice c >urt in the serving of the warra .ts sworn nut by the committee. To-night the boa dof police commissioners met in regu ar session and received a communication from the com mittee, severeiy criticising tbe action of the chief of police. After investigation tbe 1 oard sustained the action of the chief, which records another period where he agitating element has been officially sat down upon m the present campaign. Between forty and fifty warrants for illegal registration w ro taken out to-day, and on election day all the ward-beeters for tbe anti-barroom candi dates will have their pookets full to bs sprung upou the thougatless citizens, as well as the wilfully illegal voter. The anti barroom campaign has long s.nce fallen below any claim to a moral fight. It is notbiug more nor less thin a political scram ble, la which a few men are seeking to get hold of the city g >vern cent hr >ugh tne votes of the extremists on tbe liquor ques tion, combined with other followers wdo have not the excuse of fauaticiam, even, for their politics. THE JOINT DICTATORS. It is said that Bam Small and Murphev, the joint diotators of the 1890 Clnb, have a slate made up to fill every oity office, with the fattest plums for them selves, of oourse. Murphey is to be clty|at torney and Sam Small—the Hev. Bam wants to be city clerk, while some lesser lights are on the anti-barrnom slate for all the other offices. It is on account of the al leged selfishness of these two leaders, who are the only oues recognized as such in the councils of tbe campaign, that the substantial citizens who supported the prohibition cause in the past have re fused to have anything to do with the pres ent undignified and unscrupulous fight for the city government. Rven Sam Jouos has refused to come to the aid ■ >f the move nent, and Sam Small and Mr. .Vlurphey, with the help of a negro named Hector, brought here from California have been left to do all the talking. WHY JONES HOLDS ALOOF. Bam Jo les evidently saw from the first glance that it was a jack-pot in which he could not hold a ha id, because of his resi dence in Bartow oounty, and when asked to come to speak, he always had a convenient excuse. Sifted down Rev. Sam Small and Preside it Murphey are the duplex of a miniature Tammany. Promi nent prohibit! mists are outspoken in saying that they have hurt the cause of prohibi tion in Fulton county immeasurably by the campaign which they are just bringing to a closa; in fact have practically killed it for some time to come. PENSACOLA POINTERS. The Wreck at the Bridge—A Woman in Flames—Two Men Drowned. Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 31.—The wreck that occurred Saturday night at the Es cambia bridge, tea miles east of this city, was bad enough, but not quite so bad as at first reported. The regular freight due in this city at 7 o’clock left Milton at about 6 c'clook with sixloen loaded cars and a ca boose, the latter containing the conductor, two brakemen and four passengers. A broken flange on one of the wheels of the caboose caused the caboose to jump the track about fifty feet from the eud of the bridge, it jumped along on the crossties until it got about fifty feet upon ibe bridge, when it turned over into the water, carrying six cars down with it. The water was about two feet deep. Michael F. O’B ion, a boiler maker of this city, was instantly killed y a box of brasses and coupling pius falling upon bis head. The others passen gers were not injure 1 at all. The bridge suffered very little damage from the wreck and trains passed over as usual yesterday. A WOMAN IN FLAMES. A few minutes after 13 o’clock this morn ing people living along West Main street, betweeu Palafox and Baylor, were aroused by the piecing screams of a woman. Those who rushed ut saw a woman running from her house enveloped ‘.n flames. She fell in the street. Before assistance could reach her every vestige of her clothing had been burned off. She was conveyed to her room in the bouse and medical aid called, but her burns were so severe that she died in great agony at 5 o’clock this morning. Her name is Mamie Williams. She formerly lived at Mobile. She was a bright mulatto about 22 years of age, and leaves an infant 2 months old. No one knows how she caught flie. DROWNED IN THE BAT. Saturday night James Kelly and James McElheren left the mar me railway across the bay, intending to come to Pensacola. They were in a small sailboat. A storm came up awhile alter they left, and as they have not since been seen it is supposed that they were drowned in the bay. Parties have been searching for them since yester day, but have found neither the bo it nor the bodies. Kelly is married and McEiheren is a single man.

Perry, while in Cauova’s saloon to night, became provoked at some remarks ana began cleaning out the place. The bar keeper, Alexander Canova, interfered, when Sheriff Perry drew a revolver.

Marshal Benet and the police are hunting Perry to arrest him and the others are hunting him to get revenge. Perry is intoxicated, but is peaceable when not provoked. He has not been arrested yet.

The Principal Member of the Commit tee Expresses Himself In Favor of Holding the GMp They Already Have on tne State Through the Tax Receiv able Coupons. London, Nov. 30.—Several interviews were hal to-day with leading English hold ers of Virginia bonds in regard to the latest plan for fund ng the state debt. All of them were bitterly opposed to the proposed plan of settlement. Mr. Cooper, secretary of the committee of English holders, said that only an outline of tbe proposition had been cabled. Until tbe full document, which was coming to E gland on the steamer Etruria, was received, no meeting of tbe English holders would be convened. In the meantime every opinion that he had heard expressed concurred that tbe propo sition was untenable. UTTERLY INIQUITOUS. Mr. Trotter, the pri icipal member of the committee, considered the plan utterly iniquitous. The 101 lers, he declares, w mid decidedly prefer to keep what legal grip tmy had on Virginia on tax receivable coup ms than to accept terms which were greatly insufficient and which left them to rely on the honor of men who had already shown that they were lacking in a sense of honor. Virginia was able to pay her debt, but the question had lo ig passed out of tue hands of tbe old honorable Virginians and had become a political one, controlled by carpet baggers and negroes who dragged the honor of ihe state through the dirt with their ooupon-killer measures. PEACE TOO HIGH IN PRICE. He was for peace, but not at the price of fered in the plau. It would be better for the holders to fight and carry their laims from court to oourt. The proposal be mads to the committee some time since was absolutely the lowe t terms possible to accept. Mr. Trotter said he knew that Sir John Lubbock, Mr. Littledale and others, who were auihorities, ooticurred in the be lief that the holders ought not to agree to accept less. DECLARED FARCICAL. A private holder who was met in the secretary’s office and who did not wish his name published, declared that the pro posals were farcical. Ha knew the details of the plan through private cable dispatches. W ueu the m eting of holders was called it certainly would unanimously reject with scorn aud contempt worse terms than they could have got years ago. Mentioning this remaek to Mr. Trotter subsequently, that gentleman said that whatever the hold ers might have got years ago in the ways of terms and con litions were the same then as now. What reliance could be placed in tbe honor of the men conferring them! “We would have no security what ever if we surrendered our tax receivable coupons for the newly proposed issues.” FRANKLIN AGAINST ACCEPTING. Mr. Franklin of A. Keyser Sc Cos., foreign baukors of this city, said that the impres sion made upon him by the new proposal was unfavorable, but that the bondholders expect the terms of the proposal to be sub mitted to them as was arranged in the agreement of deposit. By this agreement it was prov ded that hoi lers not satisfied with the proposals would be given sixty days to withdraw their holdings, aud that a ma jority of any group wo old have a right to w ithdraw that group. If this was not done, Mr. Franklin said, great resistance might be expected. Mr. Newzrass, a noted financier who holds $2.0011,000 of Virginia bonds, and Vivian Grey & Ca, who hold 81,00j,000 of tnose securities, are also dissatisfied with the delays. Virginia bonds on the stock exchange closed to-day at 4l\{. THREE CLASSES OF HOLDERS. London, Dec. 1, 3a. m.—The Times , in its financial article to day, says: "Persons interested in the Virginia debt bonds may be divided into three classes: First, those desiring an early settlement of any kind; so that they may secure a profit from bonds which they bought cheaply; second, those who are not content with the present scheme, because the. purchased the bonds at a high figure; third those who will lose by the scheme but who want the matter set tled in order to facilitate further rail way enterprises, etc., the last mentioned class is a large one, but Jis composed of small holders. The second class is largely in the majority, aud if content to wait patiently and remain firm it will certainly get better terms, because the business 00m community in Virginia will insist upon a settlement.” Arouse the faculties, stimulate the circu lation, purify the blood, with Ayer’s Sar saparilla.—Ad. CAROLINA’S GESELLSCHAFT. The Legislature ..eked Not to Take Hold of the Liquor Question. Charleston, 3. C., Nov. 30.—The Ger man Gesdlschaft, with about 700 members, last night parsed the following resolution, which will be sent to Mayor-eiect Fiaken, member of the House of Representatives; The German society makes this earnest ap pea to the state legislature to refrain from the passage of the prohibition as well as the high license bills now before tire general assembly, and for the following reasons: The members of the German society represent Germans from every part of the slate and one of their principal objects, and for wmch the organization a founded, was for the purpose of inducing emigrants from Ger many to si ttle this state, ana to cultivate its lauds. Emigrants will not he induced to come to South Carolina if personal liberty is re stricted. A high license law would establish a monopoly and would have a similar effect, * RAIL AND cROSSTIE. B. A. Denmark, president of the Savan nah Construction Company, and H. M. Comer, president of the South Bound rail road, have gone to New York on business connected with the companies which they represent. The trip doubtless means the extension of the South Bound. A correspondent of the Morning News writes that here is a great deal of oom plaiut along the line of the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery railroad of the irregularities of the mails. Since the trouble between the Central and the Sam roads the people have often had to wait for a day for their mails from Savannah, owing to the failure of the Savannah and Western to connect with the Sam road at Lyons. The Savannah und We,tern trams are gen erally behlvd time, and the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery trains will not wait for them. The poitofflce authorities and the railroad commission might do something to help the people. A Negro shot in the Face. Dr. Cox was awakened at 2 o’clock yester day morning by a negro named Brown, who had been shot in the face and wanted his wound dressed. The physician extracted a 44-oaliber bullet from behind tne man’s ear, where it lodged after e.iler.ng alongside bis nose. The wound is not dangerous. Brown didu’t tell the name of the person who shot him or any of the oircumsta ices, except that he received the wo md while engaged in a row beyond the city limits. A New Organ for SC. Patrick’s. St Patrick’s church is to have anew or gan. The order has beeu placed for a $3,000 instrument with the Hutchings Organ Company of Boston. Mass., and it will be ready and pla -ed in position by March 1. The choir, which has been reorganized, will give a graud musitale when the new o gan arrives. The organ will be similar to the one in Christ church but of a smaller size. NO ASSETS TO BE FOUND. Rumors of Crookednees In Gotham’s Big Failure. New York, Nov. 3D.—There was no ma terial change in the asp -ct of affaire st the ! office of tue suspended firm of Field. Ltnd ley, Weichers Sc Cos. this morning. Assignee Gould said that personally he knew nothing of the truth or falsity of the published re ports of the allege*i ‘ •crooked” transactions | of Mr. Field.

A report was published that a warrant for the arrest of £. M. Field had beed placed in the hands of Inspector Byrnes, and that he bad detectives watch ing Mr. Ff Id’s h >use.

A number of innocent holders of Union Pacific sock disposed of by the firm held a meeting this morning at the offi -e of a prominent Wall street broker and drafted a petition to the oommittee on securitise of the stock exchange, requesting them to rescind their ac ion making the stock non deliverable. Tbe interests of the Union Faoifio have been placed in the bands of A N. Holmes. Mr. Holmes realized that it would be impossible for the Union Pacific to regain possession of the bunds tuat bud fallen into the hands of innooeut holders, and requested the com mittee on securities to release such bonds from their order of Saturday. Upon his order till) was done and the stock can now be handled on tho exchange. There still remains a goodly number of bonds, the ownership of which will likely have to be settled in court. Cyrus W. Field is still very muoh pros trated. A SMALL SUM FINALLY FOUND. New York, Nov. 30, 11 p. m.—Assignee Gould says that lie has found only 3500 assets and there may he |2,000 available, which may be used In paying the clerks their salary.
