A HOT FIRE ON WADDELL
FULTON COLVILLE BUBS THE
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Be Seeks to Stop It From Turning
the President’s Salary Over to the
Latter’s Wife President Waddell
Held Cp to the S'ate In the Light of
a Professional Defaulter.
Atlanta, Ga., March IL—A decidedly
Interesting case was called for trial in the
city court this morning. The e irgia State
Agricultural Society fig rt defendant,
but J. U. Waddell, president . ...at society,
is the real center of interest. Fulton Colville,
a well-known attorney, as heir, garnished
President Waddell’s salary off 100 per
month, but previous to the serving of the
paper President Waddell bad transferred
his salary to his wife and she had been
drawing the money regularly from the
agricultural society.
Mr.Colville’s bill is the sensational feature
of the case. He sets up the following:
Plaintiff avers that the transfer made
by J. O. Waddell to his wife
Mrs. Ella Waddell, of his salary as presi
dent of the Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety is absolutely void, having been made
for the purpose of defeating and defrauding
bis creditors.
peck’s judgment attacked.
Tbs said judgment of William Peck, the
father of Mrs. Waddell, against bis sen in
law, John O. Waddell, if ever a vald, sub
sisting lien or oebt, was final y and fully
oonceded by said Peck in transferring or
giving the same to bis daughter, the wife of
J. O. Waddell That said judgment is long
since dormant, or if the same has been re
vived or kept alive, it has been done for tbe
•ole purpose of shielding said Waddell from
the efforts of his creditors to collect the
money due them.
THE TRANSFER DENOUNCED.
That this said transfer of his salary to
his wife upon this dormant judgment is a
part of a general plan which said Waddell
has been pursuing for years to defeat the
payment of bis honest debts. Said Waddell
would borrow money upo i his wife's In
dorsement, and, when the day of payment
came, would not only refuse to pay but
would bring his wife into court and have
her plead release under the law of surety
ship. He ba9, by this mode of practice,
obtained great sums of money and enjoyed
life in great style at the expense of others.
DEBTS CONTRACTED AS AGENT.
That he had acted as agent for his wife
and thus obtained goods and money, and
when tbe time of paymeut arrived would
torce his wife in front and have her to deny
his agency and defeat the debt.
That said Waddell was insolvent and
was so at the time of the transfer of tbe
judgment by William Peck, and has been
so ever since.
That ail the above facts were known to
tbe Georgia State Agricultural Society, the
garnishee, at the lime said transfer of
salary by said Waddell to bis wife was
made, because said IVaddell is the president
of that society aud knows ail of its affairs.
THE SOCIETY’S DEFENSE.
Tbe society’s defense is that the claim
which Mrs. Waddell had on Mr. Waddell
was valid, having been transferred to her
by her father, Mr. Waddell being indebted
to him in the sum of $9,000 for land pur
chased, aud that since the claim of Mrs.
WaddCll was valid the agricultural society
had a right to pay her President Waddell’s
salary. J udgs Van Epps held that under
tbe existing tacts Mrs. Waddell should be a
party defendant, aud for that reason he
postponed tbe case. When it is tried at the
next term It is expected that the develop
ments will he spicy.

mittee of the Southern Traffic Association,

oount of the comm.ttee’s action.

STURGEON STEAKS.
The Shipment of the Toothsome Fleh
Through Brunswick.
Brunswick, Ga., March 11.— Sturgeon
shipments through Brunswick will com
mence at an early date. The shipment of
sturgeon steak and caviare to the northern
markets is an industry that yields a hand
some profit A great many fish are oauizht
on the Satilla river, and in tbe best season
sometimes as many a? fifty or sixty 350 and
300-pound sturgeons are sent through
Brunswick weekly, beside a great quantity
of oavalre, made from tbe roes of
these large fish. This is the most profitable
of tbs business. It requires experienced
men to prepare the caviare for market o it
will not spoil. Russian caviare is superior
to that made in America, owing to the
coldness of the climate. In America the
climate is so warm that a quantity of salt is
used, and the caviare is consequently less
palatable than that from Russia. A large
drift seine is used in sturgeon catching, and
as this fish, like the shad, goes up fresh
water streams to spawn, the fishing is dune
In tbe upper waters of tbe river and carried
on toward the mouth. People engaged In
the bustuese here fish about three months
in tbe 8a 1 ilia in the spring, then go up tbe
Delaware river and fl-h three months there,
finally ending with fall fishing in the Ken
nebec.

DUN’S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New Yore, March IL—R. G. Dun &

during tbe last week number for tne United
States 239, and for Canada 26, a total of
356.
"Tbe distribution Of products is unques
tionably improving. Transactions are on
tbe whole larger than a year ago in spite of
the depression at the south, being very much
larger at the west. Nor is the improvement
confined to that section, though general
there; it Is also more distinctly felt
In the eastern cities and there are not want
ing signs that trade at the south, though
still much embarrassed by the low prioe of
cotton, is steadily gaining. With all the
great industries active, witb money at uni
ant in spite of gold exports, and with specu
lation kept in wholesome check the outlook
would seem to be unusually favorable, not
withstanding general complaints that prices
are low aud the margins of profit unusually
small. &3SJI
IRON A DISMAL FEATURE.
"Iron has been a dismal feature, but In
stead of a decrease the weekly output shows
a large increase, so that on March 1 it was
tbe largest ever known, 192,1X12 tons against
183,135 last December, hitherto tbe maxi
mum. Rails are inactive, bar is dull and
plates wi akor. The textile industries are
improving.
"The sales of wool at Boston, Philadel
phia and .New York for the year now exceed
last year’s to the same date by 4,700,030
pounds, or 10 per ceut. In kuit goods buy
ers hesitate.
The trade in cotton goods is largely in
excess of last year, the sales in February
showing a big increase in every department.
“At Philadelphia, while iron Is demoral
ized end tbe market for wool in the buyers’
favor, liberal orders appear for dry goods,
and trade, except with tbe south, is the
best for many years. In groceries, paints,
oils and glass there is gradual improvement,
and also in tobacco, the larger cigarmakers
being busy.
“Pittsburg finds tbe volume of trade in
iron smaller and there is some furtnor talk
of closing furnaces, but the glass trade is
fair.
LOUISVILLE’S TOBACCO TRADE.
“Louisville reports tbe largest sales of
tobacco in tbe history of the trade, and
general improvement, while business is
fair but improving at Nashville and Mem
phis, and some improvement is seen at New
Orleans, w here sugar is rising with active
demand, and a better feeling is seen in
ootton.
"Speculation in produots is weak, wheat
being 2% cento lower, and corn a quarter of
a ceut, the exports falling much below those
of recent weeks. Tbe government report
that after tbe enormous movement
thus far, 171,000,000 bushels of wheat
remained in the farmers’ bauds
March 1, the largest proportion
ever reported, tends to depress prices further.
Oats aud pork products are unchanged, oil
three-eighths of a oent higher, but coffee
three-eighths of a ceut lower. A drop of
an eighth of a oent in cotton puts the price
down to 6 93-100, the lowest for more than
forty years, and the receipts continue to ex
ceed last year’s, though this week the ex
ports fall behind.
“All exports from New York show a de
crease for the month thus far of about 8 per
oent. The outgo of gold does not entirely
cease, though sterling exchange has declined

preparations permit a small premium to be
paid. Though money is abundant, the rates
on call have slightly advanced and the mar

most eastern oities.”

except Mr. English of New Jersey, who
proposes to address himself to the subject of

yesterday’s debate.
By the Associated Press.
In the House this morning, on suggestion
of Mr. McMillin of Tennessee, two hours of
to-morrow’s session were set apart for the
consideration of private bills, and the House
went into committee of tho whole, with Mr.
Blount of Georgia in tbe chair, on the free
wool bill aud was addressed by Mr. Stevens
of Massachusetts.
WOULD BENEFIT manufacturers.
Mr. Steveus read from manuscript, but
In so low a voice that he could not be henrd
more than ten feet away. He believed that
the pending bill would benefit alike the
manufacturers of woolen goods and ths
great moss of the American people who
consumed them. As u manufacturer he
was not. afraid to seek the relief of the
people by reduced duties on bis product,
and he believed that the majority of
the American woolen manufacturers
who Lad carefully studied this question
were rapidly coming over to his opinion.
The abolition of tho duty on wool did not
mean necessarily a smaller demand or lower
prices for American wool. It meant that
both American wool and foreign could be
used to the best advantage for the purp ses
to which each was be3t adapted, and that
they could be mixed in proper proportions
in all sorts of fabrics.
It meant that more wool and lew shoddy
would be used than was used to-day, and
that a better demand for American wool
would be created.
LABOR FULLY PROTECTED.
Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky, a mem
ber of the ways and moans comulittoe, made
a strong and able argument, largely made
up of statistical analysis in support of tho
bill of tbe committee. In this speech Mr.
Montgomery devoted his chief attention to
the contention that tho bill deprivel labor
of protection, and by statistics went on to
show that the bill gave mor6 protection
than the entire labor cost of producing
goods in the United States. His
speech in this respect touched
largely on new ground, and his researches
covered late statistics bearing directly upon
the extent to which labor enters into the
cost of the production of eaoh yard of the
fabric. Mr. Montgomery said the aggre
gate saving to the consumer, even if raw
wool did not decrease in price under the
bill, would by 919,000,000 on the imported
goods and 9171,000,000 on tbe home manu
factured goods, aggregating $190,000,000.
LINES BHARPLY DEFINED.
No measure could more sharply define the
issue between the ardent progressive and
determined tariff reformers who desired to
accomplish something and those equally de
termined not only that the consumers
should have no relief, but that the protect
ive system should continue to be used to en
rich a few while it impoverished both the
treasury end the people. But the im
portant feature of the bill was cot in the
reduction, but in tho fact that it would
break up the combiuation between tbe
wool growers and manufacturers and
make inevitable speedy and complete re
vision of the whole tariff system. He be
lieved that the bill had behind it publio
sentiment, to which neither senator nor
President could be indifferent. But if it
failed in tbe Senate or was vetoed, the
party would have made an issue about
which no mau of intelligence could bo mis
led or deceived.
BLAINE'S TWO FALLACIES.
Mr. Brookshire of Indiana came next. He
said that Secretary Blaiue’s so-called re
ciprocity scheme and the tax upon raw
wools were the two most eminent fallacies
by which the protective system was sought
to be maintained.
Mr. Ray of New York said that tbe
Democratic party on the tariff question was
the great American political and hypo
critical crab, with ten legs, reaching iu all
directions; it was so weak in the joints that
it had not a single pair on which it conld
stand alone. If anything was wanting to
show that the Democratic party as a partv
was for free trade, the favorable report of
this bill had supplied the proof.
SURE TO BENEFIT THE PEOPLE.
Mr. Coombs of New York contended that
free wool would prove beneficial to the peo
ple; would tend to stimulate our foreign
trade and would enable the United
Htates to extend its ocean commerce
without resort to the policy of subsidies.
The committee then rose and the House
took a recess until 8 o’clock, the evening
session to be for the consideration of private
pension bills.
A democrstic caucus was announced for
to-morrow evening at 7:30 o’clock, “for the
transaction of important business.’' The
“important business” is to be the election of
the congressional campaign committee.
SESSION OF THE BENAT3.
A BUI to Make a President Ineligible
for Re-election.
Washington, Maroh 11,— In tho Senate
to-day Mr. Stewart introduced a joint reso
lution proposing a constitutional amend
ment that (after 18971 no person who has
held the office of President for a term of
four years, or any part thereof, shall be eli
gible to that office within four years after
tho expiration of such term. Mr. Stewart
*a‘d he had been considering what commit
tee should properly have jurisdiction of the
subject, aud that he bid come to theconclu
tion that it ought to fie referred
to thee mmittee on civil service reform
and retrenchment. He thought that an ex
tension of the | residential term was objec-
■iooable, because that would make too great
a change and might some time lead to a
revolution. The great advantage of the
amendment would be the removal of all
temptation on the part of the President to
use tbe appointing power for re-election.
The joint resolution was referred to the
committee on civil service reform.
The bill Introduced hr Mr. Daniel, as
senting t > privileges and grants given by
the states of South Carolina and Virginia
to tbs French Gable Company, was passed.
STANFORD’S CURRENCY BILL,
Mr. Stanford's bill to provide tbe govern
ment with means sufficient to supply ths
national want of a oonod circulating me
dium was taken an and was made tbe text
of a speech by Mr. Dolph. The opening
paragraphs of the speech were directed
against the Democrstic party. Next he
condemned the snb-treasury and other like
propositions, which, he said, ware the most
visionary and most impracticable of all the
schemes advocated for tbe benefit of the
farmers. He bad msthing to say in
praise of the McKinley tariff sot and a good
deal against tbe application of its reciprocity
provisions to Canadian ooal, wool ani
lumber
Mr. Cullom, from tbe committee on ap
propriations, reported back the military
academy appropriation hill and gave notice
that he would call it up for consideration in
the early part of next week. There are
many change* from the bill as it came from
the House, both of lucreese and decrease,
tbe net result being an increase of about
935,000.
THE POSTOFFICE BUILDINGS BILL.
Tbe poetoflice building* bill was then taken
up, tne pending question being on Mr.
Kyle’s amendmeut to provide a library for
public documents in each postofflee.
Mr. Vest, while sympathizing with the
purpose of the amendment, saw many ob
jections to it and appealed to Mr. Kyle to
w i thdraw it. Mr. K yle did so.
On motion of Mr. Vest the appropriation
of 9500,000 was struck out, the object being
to leave thequestion to thecommLteeon ap
propriations. Mr. Vilas moved to strike out
the maximum limit of receipts, $90,000, so
that there should be no limitation in that
direction. This was agreed to.
Mr. Vilas moved to insert the words “the
places for the construction thereof to be
from to time selected (on demand in writ
ing) bv the Boatman er General, Secretary
of the Treasury and .Secretary of the Inte
rior, with the approval of the President.”
This was agreed to.
Mr. Vilas moved to insert in the clause
limiting tbe cost of the building and site to
920,000, the words “in places where the
gross receipts of the postoflico for each of
the three years preceding snail not have ex
ceeded 924,000; nor 935,000 in other places.
A DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED.
Without action on this amendment the
bill was temporarily laid aside, and the
urgent deficiency bill was taken up and
passed.
The postofflee buildings bill was resumed
and Mr. Vilas’ pending amendment was
agreed to. Subsequently, however, that
vote was reconsidered.
Mr. Paddock moved an amendment to
the effect that the cost of tbe building and
site shall not exceed the gross annual re
ceipts of the office for the three preceding
years, but may be reduced at the discretion
of tho Postmaster General.
Without action on the bill or the pending
amendments the Senate, at 5 o’clock, ad
journed till Monday.
HARRISON AS A CORRESPONDENT.
Russell Applies For Admission to tbe
Pre-s Gallery.
Washington, March 11.—Russell B.
Harrison has decided to apply for admission
to tbe press galleries of the Senate and
House as the regularly accredited corre
spondent of his newspaper, the Journal,
published at Helena, Mont. Ha at first
seemed shy about making the application
himself, and got his friend, the correspond
ent of the Mail and Express, to make it
for him. But Col. SteVett of Texas, tho
secretary of the standing committee of cor
respondents, which has full control
of these galleries, is a great stick
ler for etiquette, and he objected.
He lassoed this plan and brought it
to the ground, beaten and dißoomflted.
“No,” said he, "if any man wants to be ad
mitted to this gallery he must file his appli
cation in the regular manner. I don’t oaro
if the man was tbe Prince of Wales, it
would make no difference; he would have
to make out his application and submit it
to mo. Then we will pass upon it. If the
applicant comes up to the requirements of
the rules admitting men to the gailery.-be
gets In; if he doesn’t, he stays out.” This
ultimatum of Col. Nterett’s was conveyed to
Mr. Harrison in a diplomatio way, and it
was effectual.
HARRISON FILES HIS REQUEST.
To-day Mr. Harrison asked for a blank
application and he will fill it out and file it
with the standing committee of the corre
spondents to-morrow. Mr. Harrison will
hsvetu state before he can be admitted "that
he it not engaged in the prosecution of
claims pending before congress or the de
partments and will not become so while al
lowed admission to the gallery.” Rule 3
provides that olerks in the executive depart
ments, “aud persons engaged in other oc
cupations, whose chief attention Is
not given to newspaper correspond
ence,” are not to be admitted.
This restriction of rule 3, which by tbe
way is most rigidly enforced, will be the
chief difficulty in Mr. Harrison’s way. Mr.
Harrison has been acting as the regular
correspondent of the Helena Journal for
some time. Messenger boys have brought
his disoatohes from the white house to the
telegraph office each night, and if he will
only conform to the rules he cau become a
full fledged c respondent and have his name
in the Congressional Dlreotorv in tbe list of
members of the press, who are entitled to
admission to the press galleries as follows:

introduced in the House a bill to authorise
the establishment of a postal telegraph serv
ice and for other purposes- Mr. Hopkins
desires it understood that the fact that he
introduced tne bill does not oomrnlt him to
any of its pros stone. The bill is a very
brief one, consisting of but five sections
It authorises the Postmaster General, upon
the ad vies and approval of the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Attorney General, to
contract with any person, company or cor
poration owning or operating lines of wire
need for telegraph or other purpoees, for
the transmission of correspondence,
press dispatches and postal
money orders over the same
between any points designated by him at or
in connection with poetoffices, under rules
and regulations prescribed by him, at such
rates per message as may be agreed upon by
the said contracting parties; not, however,
to exceed the rates for similar measigss
charged by such person, company or corpo
ration.
TELEGRAPH STAMPS.
The charges for the transmission and de
livery of messages is to be prepaid by
stamps. The advertising and letting of
contracts provided for is to be conducted in
the manner prescribed by the laws relating
to contracts for inland mail transportation f
so far as the same may be applicable. In
conducting the business provided
for by the bill no new or
additional offices are to be created, nor ad
ditional clerks employed by reason of the
same in the postoffioe department or in the
postoffiees; nor is any expenditure of money
to be made or contracted for beyond the
sums received for the delivery charge
of messagas. Appropriations not
exceeding said sumo are made
to carry out the objects of the act. The
provisions of all the statutes prescribing
punishment for violation of the laws relat
ing to the postal service are extended and
made applicable to the new service provided
for. The bill also provides that
the Postmaster General, by and
with the advice and consent of the Presi
dent, may conclude treaties or conventions
with foreign countries for tbe extension
and connection of the postal telegraph serv
ice, including interchange of postal tele
graph money ordets between them and the
United States.
Options Not to Be Forbidden.
Washington, March 11 —The anti-options
bill will not pass at this session, even in
its modi 09d form applying in some phrase
not yet determined to gambling operations
only. The opposition of the commercial
exchanges of Philadelphia, New York,
Bostou and other eastern cities, taken with
the opposition of the cotton exchanges of
the south, and the grain and produos ex
changes of the west, has made it impracti
cable to pass it.
