Hartford, Coys., Feb. 2. —The House
met to-day at 1 o'clock. Most of the demo
crats and half a dozen republicans attended

declaration: “The House stands adjourned
until to-morrow at 1 o'clock.”
“The House does not stand adjourned
until to-morrow at 1 o’clock.” said Sir.
Walker, “and the members will keep their

ail democrats, did keep their seats. After a
pause Mr. Walker arose and said he bad
been cut off when attempting to put a
motion that was in order.
A SEW SPEAKER INSTALLED.
He then read an argument intended to
•how that the House ru e giving tbe speaker
power to adjourn the House in the absenoe
of a quorum was unconstitutional, and the
act of the speaker under it was therefore
invalid. The House, he claimed, in the ab
sence of a auorum, could adjourn from
day to day and take means to oompel tbe
attendance of absent members.
•'The speaker having abandoned his chair,

SPALDING SUPERIOR COURT.
Five Murder Cases on the Criminal
Docket for Trial.
Griffin, Oa. , Feb. 2.—Spalding superior
court. Judge James Boynton presiding, con
vened yesterday morning. A clear and
•weeping charge was delivered the grand
jury, but the eyes of all were opened when
the court bailiffs were sworn in by the In
junctions of secreov the judge charged them
with. He said that he bad had a good deal
of trouble in the past from bailiffs commu
nicating. and allowing others to do so, with
juries. In summing up he told them that if
It occurred again the one guilty would be
discharged from further attendance on the
court, would get no pay for the servioe ren
dered and have imposed on him a line which
money would not relieve him of. It will
be remembered that Brown Speer, con
victed of an assault with intent to murder
Offloer Gossett, was granted anew trial on
the ground of outside communication while
In charge of a bailiff.
THE CRIMINAL DOCKET.
The criminal docket was taken up to-day
and will probable occupy the balance of the
term, as Judge Boynton is anxious to clear
the jail of its prisoners, including those
charged with the Barrett tragedy. There
are five murder cases on the dooket for the
present term. Those charged with this high
crime are: Mann Smith, for killing Andrew
Pate; Hattie Nelms, for killing her sister,
Minnie Nelms; Sam Kendall, Jerry Holt
and W. W. Nuunally, for the killing of
Dr. and Mrs. J. H. M. Barrett on Jan. 4.
This last oaso will come up before the grand
jury Thursday. The officers are still very
close with the evidence in this case, but say
they have ample proof aud that the web is
being more closely woven around the pris
oners each day.
GRIFFIN AND THE CAMP.
Claims for the Town in the Fight for
the Encampment.
Griffin, Ga., Feb. B.— Griffin is happy
over her prospects of getting the permanent
encampment. Preparatory to saluting the
military advisory board on their arrival cf
inspection the committee met to-night at 8
o’clock and perfected plans for escorting
the hoard to the differeut proposed sites.
It seems to be the desire, both of the board
and the soldiers, that the ground selected
should be near the center of the state, easy
of acoess, in a good healthy locality, with
f ood water aud among a moral people.
n all these requirements Griffin stands pre
eminent.
She is as near the geographical center of
the state as any city, aud her railroad facili
ties and connections are unsurpassed.
Aside from the roads that run through the
city, the city is flanked by the Atlanta and
Florida, Macon aud Brunswick, and Eait
Tennessee and Virginia, with good and con
venient connections with them all. The
water here is as pure as any that flows, and
as abundant as people could wish. It will
be furnished as freo as the air. The entire
camp would be lighted by electric
lights. Griffin’s altitude is 1,108 feet,
and the town is the dividing ridge between
the Atlantic aud the gulf. More than ail
this, the taxpayers of Georgia defray the
expenses of the encampment, and it is due
them that the encampment should be held
where Georgia, and not Tennessee, will be
financially benefited, it was no uncom
mon thing last year to hear the soldi rs
who had been called home by urgent tele
grams, say that they would not attend an -
other encampment so poorly situated.
CORDSLE’S ELECTION.
The Progress Club Elects Its Candi
date for Mayor.
Cordele, Ga., Feb. 2. —To-day witnessed
the hottest election ever held in Cordele.
The election was for mayor, to fill the place
of Dr. G. M. McMillan, who resigned. Dr.
G. W. Marvin ran on the citizens' ticks:.
Col. E. K. Strozier, a young attorney, was
supported by the Progress club, a secret
political organization. Dr. Marvm received
97 votes aud Col. Strozier received 98.
Immediately after the election Col. Strozier
■was carried about the streets on the shoul
ders of his admiring friends. The Progress
club claims that though Dooly is a dry
county yet, as the council aud mayor are
wet men that they will issue licenses for the
sale of liquor in Cordele.
A Bank Falls at Kearney.
Kearney. Neb., Feb. 2.— The Commer
cial and Savings Bank closed its doors this
morning. It had a capital of SIOO,OOO and
deposits of $30,000. No statement of Its
liabilities is given, but its officers say the
) depositor will be paid la full.
THAYER WON T STEP DOWN.
He Will Hang On To the Governorship
as Long as Possible.
Omaha, Neb. . Feb. 2.—Gov. Boyd was
still In Omaha at noon to-day and said he
had not decided on what course he would
1 pursue. He expects Gov. Taayer to notify
him to come and take the governor’s office,
but the latter has not done so. If he is dis
posed to he can hang on until the supreme
court mandate issues on Feb. 29. Politi
cians are advising Gov. Thayer to retire
quietly. Gov. Boyd has notified his former
appointees that his election has bew sus
tained and they are preparing to resume
charge of their respective stations. State
Oil Inspector Himrod, a Boyd appointee,
who was ejected by Gov. Thayer, has
notified the oil companies that Ids is tbe
only inspection that will do, ar.d they have
recognized him. It is probable that tbe
personnel of tbe executive department will
be entirely reorg u izej without resistance
from the Thayer administration.
THAYER INCLINED TO STICK.
A dispatch from Lincoln says: "John L.
Webster.Gov.Thayor’s attorney, came down
to Linooln to-day and was cloeetei with
the ex-governor for some hours. The en
tire situation was carefully reviewed, and
Mr. Webster put forth his best endeavors
and most clinching arguments to prove to
his client that tbe best thing be could do
would be to step down and out. surrender
ing the office to Gov. Boyd without further
delay. But Gov. Thayer was obdurate an l
said that he should continue to
exercise the office of governor
until he receiv.-d the mandate from the
United States supreme court. "I am gov
ernor now,” he said, “and 1 shall continue
for at least a month.” Nothing could shake
him in bis determination and he will hold
to bis resolve.
CHINA’S REBELS ROUTED.
The Imperial Forces Killing Them by
Hundreds.
San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 2.—The
steamship China arrived this afternoon,
twenty-one days from Hong Kong. Chinese
papers announce the issuance of an impe
rial decree on Jan. 4, announcing the over
throw of the rebels in Northern China. Tho
decree states that the imperial forces made
a combined attack on Pai Tse
Fu, the old center of the rebellion,
on Dec. 31. The town was carried by
storm. Cavalry pursued the fleeing rebels,
killing 300 of them and capturing a large
number of guns and ammunition. At Ilsia
Chang Kao the robels fled whon the cannon
of the imperial forces opened fire. Wang
Fau and two other rebel chiefs were killed
on the field of battle, as were also 1,000
rebels who were hunted down and put to
the sword without reserve. Heng Tek
Kwnng, the strategetioal adviser of the
rebels was captured alive.
FIVE BATTLES.
From Dec. 9to Deo. 22 six engagements
took place at various points, resulting in
the defeat of the rebels in every case. The
Kon Kon Tse stronghold was broken up
and the commander-in-chief of the Van
Sun Fat and 300 rebels were captured,
together with a great quantitv of
stores of war. Others rebels fled to
the; city of Utau, but with tho help of
the Chihili troops, who were proceeding to
the scene from the eastward, it was thought
tbe imperial ferces on the ground would
have no difficulty in extirpating them. Tho
disturbances in the province of KweiChow
have been subdued, a number of rebels be
ing killed. The ringleaders were captured
and decapitated.
MOUNTAIN’S POWER CUT DOWN.
He Will Not Control the Employment
of Men Hereafter.
Atlanta, Ga., Fob. 2. —The annual
meeting of the Atlanta Traction Company,
the owner of valuable street railway prop
erty, this afternoon, was quite stormy. It
will be remembered that it was J. H.
Mountain, vice president and general man
ager of tills oompauy, who deolared that he
would not give employment to auy but
northern men, and carried out bis threat by
discharging ail southern men. When this
fact came out, a week or so ago, Andy
Stewart, couuty tax collector, and one of
the directors, took Mr. Mountain by the
collar uud was preparing to wlpo the floor
up with him, wueu others interfered.
MOUNTAIN’S WINGS CLIPPED.
At the annual meeting to-day, it was de
cided by the directors that a man of
Mountain’s sentiment was not a good man
to he Intrusted with the employment of
men and so they took that authority out of
his hands. The meeting was so stormy that
Mountain, who owns about one-quarter of
the $300,000 of properly, left the room.
He deolared that he would at once begin
legal proceedings of some sort to get even
and developments of this nature are looked
for. Mountain is from Michigan and a
pretty mass is likely to come of his aversions
to southern men.
A N3W FLAG FORGLENDON.
Montreal Benda It to Capt. O’Grady
for Bla Display of Pluck.
Montreal, Feb. 2.—To-night the Cana
dian Paclflo express from St. John, N. 8.,
will carry to Capt. O’Grady of the British
ship Glendon, who refused to haul uown his
colors at Bridgeport, Conn., on Sunday at
the demand of an angry and excited mob,
largely c mpotod of state militia, a brand
new union jack which was purchased by a
number of maritime province people living
in Montreal ns well as a subscription from
the people of Montreal. So great was the
desire to subscribe to this testimonial
that the amount of each had to be placed
at a very low figure, and the number of
people subscribing had to be limited. The
ship went into Bridgeport flying the British
colors alone instead of following the usual
custom of also flying the colors of the
country she visits. There is no law requir
ing foreign vessels to hoist the American
colors on coming into an American port,
but the custom is universally observed.
When the omission was noticed by the
Brldgeporters ttaev were inoliued to mob
the vessel until they learned that no law
had been violated.
A OUT IN TOBACCO PRICES.
Plug Manufacturers Withdraw the
Agency System.
Chicago, Feb. 2. —The fact was made
known here to-night that umlor date of
Jan. 30, l.iggett & Myers of St. Louis, the
largest manufacturers of plug tobacco in
the United Stutos, issued a circular with
drawing trie agouev system by which
all wholesale dealers were bound to sell their
goods at fixed prices. They say they
have been forced to this action by general
secret cutting of rates in spite of the con
tract, to the iujury of honest dealers. In
p;ace of this system they propose to sell to
the wholesalers outright at list prices aud
beginning April 1, and every sixty days
thereafter, pay a rebate of 3 cents per
pound on the purchases of the previous
sixty days.

RULES OF THE HOUSE.
A LIVELY DEBATE OF A POLIT
ICAL COMPLEXION.
Tho Burrows Amendment Giving the
Fpoaker the Right to Count a Quo
rum Rejected Ex-Speaker Reed
Offers an Amendment to Compel
Members to Vote When Roll Call la
Resorted To.
Washington, Feb. 2. —In the House to
day, after a short personal controversy
between Messrs Morso and Hoar of Massa
chusetts, consideration of tho rules was
resumed. The Burrows amendment giving
tbe speaker tho right to count a quorum
was rejected, the demand for the yeas and
nays having been withdrawn.
Mr. lieed offered an amendment provid
ing that whenever a quorum fails to vote
cn any question there shall be a call
of the House and the yeas and
nays shall at the same time t>e ordered.
As each membor answers to his name he
shall vote on the yeas and nays. Mr. Heed
stated that the amendment was similar to
one offered some years ago by John Ran
dolph Tucker.
Mr. McMillin opposed the amendment
and inveighed against the action of the last
congress in locking the doors during a call
of the House. He referred to the celobrated
feat of Mr. Kiigoro in kicking open tho
door, aud declared that he had done per
fectly right. [Laughter and applause. 1 The
frse representatives of a free people should
never be called upon to legislate under lock
aud key. [Applause.]
TRUE TO PRINCIPLE.
Mr. Mills sai l that it showed the ad
herence of the Democratic party to freedom
that so great a man ns Mr. Tucker could not
Induce it to depart from the fundamental
principle of representative government.
[Democratic anplause.] He was a democrat.
[Applause.] He wont back to tho funda
mental principles of representative govern
ment. What was the fundamental truth
which underlay the whole system of govern
ment, so that it was a government not of
force but of consent! [Applause.]
Its power came from the will of the peo
ple. Were tho people to be compelled to
vote? Congress had the same right to do
that as they had to compel their representa
tives to vote.
Mr. Heed quoted from remarks made by
Messrs. Springer and Blackburn in favor of
the Tucker amendment when it was first
offered.
Mr. Springer, in retort, quoted against
Mr. Heed his utterances upon that occasion
in opposition to the amendment.
ALLEN’S QUAINT HUMOR.
Mr. Allen of Mississippi suggested as a
compromise that the gentleman from Maine
adopt the speech of the gentleman from
Illinois and the gentleman from Illinois
adopt the speeoh of the gentleman from
Maine. That would save time and put an
end to the controversy.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. Bynum offered an amendment strik
ing out from the list nf privileged motions
which may bo made when any question is
under debate motions to fix a day to which
tho House shall adjourn aud to take a re
cess. After debate the amendment was
lost—yeas 87; nays 161.
Mr. Burrows of Michigan offered an
amendment providing that no dilatory mo
tion shall be entertained by the speaker.
This was rejected.
RIDERS ON APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Mr. Boatner offered an amendment strik
ing out all that part of the rule3 giving per
mission to legislate on appropriation bills
when in the interest of retrenchment in ex
penditures. He said that be did this in
order to test the sense of the House.
Mr. Holman sustained the provision and
was replied to by Mr. Dingley, who pre
dicted that if the proposition were incor
porated In tho rules October would find tho
Houro still in session.
Mr. Blount advocated the rule. The
only way to retrench expenditures was to
retrench them, and the only way in which
this oould be accomplished was by legis
lation on the appropriation bills.
TILLMAN FAVORB RIDERS.
Mr. Tillman of South Carolina in sup
porting the rule advocated the doctrine of
riders upon the appropriation bills. Those
riders constituted a bayonet iujthe hands of
the majority of the House of Representa
tives and they ought to be exercised. By
the adoption of a similar rule in the Forty
fourth o ingress a saving of over $00,000,000
had iieen made and on that record Mr.
Tilden had bean elected i’resideut. The
republicans had stolen the office, hut if this
rule were again adopted, the next l’rosident
would be a domoorat.
Mr. Pioklerof South Dakota, in oppos
ing the rules, alluded to the power which
would be given to the com ritteo on rules.
Three men now living in the southeastern
portion of the country absolutely controlled
the legislation of the government under the
rules which it was proposed to adopt. He
was opposed to concentration of power in
the bands of a few favored committees.
Fending action the House adjourned.

FLORIDA’S DK MOOR AT 8.
The Two-thirds Rule in Conventions
Believed to Be Doomed.
Tallahassee, Fla., Feb. 2.—The prin
cipal issue between tbe two factions of tbe
Florida democracy Is whether the state
convention shall adhere to the two-thirds
method of making nominations or adopt
tbe las* cumbersome majority rule. The
Cali faction of the party champion the ma
jority innovation, while the anti-Call fao
tion contend that It would be a breach of
party principle to shelve the two-thirds
rule, which for so many years has been
recognized as party law. This issue is the
rock upon which the republicans n pa the
Democratic party in Florida will split.
Tbe main argument in favor of the adop
tion of the majority rule is that the theory
of the two-thirds rule does not lie in stale
politics, but belongs more properly to the
selection of national nominees, for the
reason that in a national convention there
might lie delegates from twenty-one states
which cast their electoral votes for the re
publicans, and tnese, by combining with
delegates from two or three other states,
could, bv the majority rule, name the nom
inee for President, who, perhaps, would not
be accepted by the mas-es of the party and
niignt be one who it would be
impossible to elect—a weak man, be
cause of the twenty-three states which noui
mat and him, only two could give him their
electoral votes. For that reason the two
thirds rule is right and proper in nominat
ing a democratic candidate for President.
But Li state politic* it is different The vote
c is: for the democratic candidates in each
of tho various counties, no matter how
small, counts toward their election. There
fore each county should have a voice in nam
ing tho ticket in proportion to the demo
cratic vote cast in #iat county, and a
niajhnky of the whole should nominate,
because there is no valid reason, as In a
national convention, for demanding that
the successful candidate should have a two
thirds vote of the convention. He can be a
representative man without that. There is
logic in this argument, more so when the
only counter argument is that the two
thirds rule has for years been a party prin
ciple and must bo adhered to tor the sake of
principle.
THE TWO-THIRDS RULE DOOMED.
The indications are that the two-tbirds
rule is doomed in Florida. All the dele
gates who belong to tho Call faction will
vote for Its abolition. Then there are sev
eral anti-Call democrats who wore disgusted
with the recent long and heated senatorial
fight, who will vote for tho majority rule,
to prevent a recurrence of any such a
scene.
In county politics the old-time try of
town agaiust country has already been
raised. There have been some heated street
corner discussions, and some of the hot
blooded country politicians vow they will
down the town democrats if they have to
remain in the saddle from now until elec
tion day to do it. The first plan proposed
by tbe country democrats to accomplish
their purpose was to do away with the con
vention method of making nominations, and
demand the bolding of primaries in
the various precincts. Some of the
leaders held a conference Saturday,
and made figures on the probable
outcome. They were greatly surprised
when their calculations showed ud that in a
convention they would have three delegates
to the town’s one, while at primaries the
town would out vote them. The more con
servative immediately came to the conclu
sion that they were mistaken; that the
town democrats were not arrayed against
them; that they had enough delegates in the
convention to Dominate who they pleased.
But one hot-head domed this. He said that
the money power in town ruled the country
delegates with an iron hand and made them
vote their way under the threat
of foreclosing mortgages; that he
for one meant to face aud defeat the foe if
ho had to sweat blood to do it. It is well
for the Democratic party in Leon county
tliat there are very few such cranks here.
The town democrats are liberal In conced
ing a fair proportion of the county offices
to the country; and more: they help the
country delegates nominate their choice.
All the present county officers will be
candidates for renomination. There will
also bo several now candidates in the field,
soms of whom have been quietly working
for several months.

HOW QUITMAN GOT ITS NAME
A Commercial Tourist Associates It
With a Kissing Story.
Tallahassee. Fla., Feb. 2.—Several
commercial tourists and otter guests were
seated on tbe wide, sunny, southern veran
da of the Leon hotel yesterday. They
were smoking and spinning yarns, as is
nsual in such gatherings. A broad-shoul
dered, white-haired geutlemau with a jolly
face, bit off the end of a fresh cigar and
tipped back in bis chair.
“Boys,” said he, "I can tell you a little
story, and it is a true one. Several years
ago, in a sparsely settled portion of the
great state of Georgia, there was a little
settlement of thrifty farmers. One bright
spring afternoon, near the edge of tbe
primeval forest bard-by, upon an immense
pine log, was seated a buxom country las9ie
with rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. She
was busily engaged arranging a bouquet of
wild flowers.
“Now it so happened that a young artist
from Boston was down in the neck of the
woods making sketches. When he saw the
pretty country maiden seated upon the log
be felt that if be could get that picture upou
canvas ,his name as an artist would beoome
famouß. A twig snapped beneath his foot.
She turned, oaw uim and sprang to her feet
as if to run. He advanced rapidiy toward
her, hat in hand, and introduced himself.
They sat down together side by side on the
log. Soon his arm stole around her waist.
‘Quit man!’ she said, but as
she did not draw away he pressed
her closer to his manly bosom
and began showering kisses upon
her ruby lips, she meanwhile repeating the
cry, ‘Quit man!’ between the smacks. One
of the boys from the settlement journeyed
that way on bis return from hunting and
saw and heard. He quietly retired. That
was on a Saturday. Next day at Sunday
school the boy told the story. From that
day every one spoke of the settlement as
‘Quit man’ settlement, and to-day it i3 a
thriving town, still bearing the name of
Quitman. You caa And it on any of the
maps of Georgia.”

A Baptist Association Session—Burg
lars Fill Up on Cider.
Sylvania, Ga., Feb. 2.—The general
meeting of the Baptist church or the mid
dle association was held at the Sylvania
church last Saturday and Sunday. A large
number were in attendance and the meet
ing was a very interesting one. Besides the
preachers of our county, Hevs. Cross, Car
tin and Hurt of Effingham were present.
The next meeting will be held at Guyton.
Kev. W. C. Lovett, presiding elder,
preached at the Methodist church here
Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. L. K. Cars
well of Burke, district secretary of the
Woman’s Missionary Society, was also
present and organ lied several societies.
Burglars entered the store of John F.
Lovett of this place last night, but did not
do much damage. They seemed to have
lingered around the cider barrel most of the
time and probably got to feeling so good
that they desisted from any further depre
dations.
CRISP NOT GAINING.
Unless He Grows Stronger He May
Have to Go Away.
Washington, Feb. 2.— Speaker Crisp,
although better, does not gain strength, and
unless he improves in this respect will have
to go away or go to bed again. He tninks
he cannot go away even for a week, as his
friends are urging him to do. He lost so
much time and is so anxious to make it up,
lest he should he blamed for delay in the
House business, that he will not leave unless
he is forced to by actual inability to stay.
