CKISP IN THE GALLERY,
HE WAS QCIC LY INVITED TO A
SEAT ON THE FLOOR.
Tben a General Handshaking Fol
lowed—Bacon's Eill Defining the
Right to Vote Stock In Railroad Com
panies Passes the House—Two Other
Railroad Bills Also Passed the House.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25.—Hon. Charles
F. Crisp, speaker of the national House of
Represen stives, was thedist nguishedguest
of the Georgia House for a short while this
morning. Judge Crisp first entered the
gallery. He was at once noticed and a
committee of three appointed to escort him
to the floor.
As Speaker Crisp appeared on the floor he
Was greeted with applause, and immediately
after be took a seat in the speaker’s stand.
On motion the House took a ten minutes’
recess in his honor, during which the mem
bers gathered around the distinguished gen
tleman and indulged in cordial hand
shaking.
To-day was railroad day in the House.
Among a number of important railroad
bills passed was that known as
the Bbcod bill, wbioh is to
define the right and power to hold and vote
shares in the capital stock railroad com
panies by trustees and other representa
tives, and by persons bolding such shares
jointly or in common, and by corporations;
to prescribe oaths for persons offering to
vote shares as aforesaid, and to fix the pen
alty for false swearing in the same, and for
other purposes.
TWO OTHER RAILROAD BILLS PASSED.
Two other railroad bills by Mr, Hodges of
Bibb were passed as follows:
To authorize suits to be b: ought agai: st
the receivers of any property appointed by
any court in this state, and to define the
liability of receivers of railroads
for torts oomroitted by their employe?
during such time os such
receivers may operate railroads
in this state and to prescribe the maunerjof
service upon such receivers in suits brought
against them.
The railroad committee rep rted unfavor
ably on the bill requiring railways to fur
nish separate oars for the races, aDd the bill
giving railroad commissioners the right to
•say when one railroad company shall ac
quire the property of another was recom
mended.
The tendency of the present legislature is
to tie the railroads up unmercifully tight.
Just what cause there is for this sentiment
is not certain, bat many of the legislators
attribute the demoralized condition of the
railroad interests of the state to tax rail
road laws, and in order to correct this evil
it seems they are inclined to go to the ex
treme in an opposite direction.
; Mr. Guerard of Chatham to-day intro
duced his bill to amend the sot of Feb. 21,
1873, creating a board of county commis
sioners for Chatham county.

public schools was passed, which will be
welcome news iD every corner in the state.
The Senate, during a short session, passed
a somewhat lengthy resolution calling upon
Georgia’s senators and representatives to
secure the passage of the “Hatch” bill
or some similar measure having a tei dency
to destroy the evil of dealing in futures.
GOB SR TO BE E XONERATED.
Mr. Glenn Withdraws From the Pros
ecution.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25 Messrs. Glenn
and Maddox, the memorialists who brought
on the Gober investigation by the legisla
tive committee, have determined to have
nothing further to do with the investiga
tion, except as they may be needed as wit
nesses.
Judge Gober’s friends eagerly claim this
action by the memorialists as an uncon
ditional surrender, but the complaint of
partiality against the committee is consid
ered by many disinterested persons as not
without foundation. Since tbe commence
ment of the investigation, in fnct, from tbe
appointment of the joint committee, it was
evident that Judge Gober would be exon
erated.
TESTIMONY HARD TO GET IN'.
Mr. Glenn, who has been conducting the
examination of witnesses in support of the
charges, bos had a tough road to travel j
from the outset. The arbitrary course on
tbe part of the committee has been the j
cause of frequent comment.
It was between 12 and 1 o’clock this
morning when Messrs. Glenn and Maddox
cajne to the conclusion that further effort
on their part would be wasted, and their in
tention to leave the entire affair in the
hands of the committee was announced.
Ttiis step was precipitated by rulings of the
committee last night bearing on certain
evidence sought to be presented by Mr.
Glenn.

Story cf tbe Transactions That Got
Hina Into ir. üble.
Barnwell, S. C., Nov. 25.—For some
I months past the people here have been a: x*
iously awaiting the developments in the
ase of the s ate vs. T. W. Ezzard of G -or-
I g.a, which has been pending in the court of
I this oounty. As will be remembered, some
| time ago, extradition papers were issued in
; this state against T. VV. Ezzard, a real es
tate agent, and T. R. Perry, a troniins.it
j att rney of South Georgia, by the heirs of
Lewis Hill, deceased, eba ging- them with
grave offenses committed in this state with
reference to the sale of certain lauds in
Hou.h Georgia to Judge D. H. Pope, for
the Hill heirs.
Ezzard was arrested in Atlanta, Ga., and
brought here where he has been confined in
jail ever since in default of #1,51 JO bail.
Perry oauie over voluntarily as soou as he
heard of the proceedings and
by his receipts and letters from Ezzard
to him, showed clearly to Col. W. P. Mur
phy, the state’s attorney,and io Messrs, (lie n
<y Maddox and Bates A Simmons, at-ornevs
for the Hill heirs, that he acted an Kzzard’s
agent in the sale of tbe lands aud that he
paid the money over to Ezzard and fully
accounted to him for all his ac.s in tbe
matter, aud consequently the case as to
Perry was promptly dismissed, but the
charges against Ezzird grew in number
until three*’true bills” were found upon
indictments against him.
He was tried Wednesday upon a charge
of breach of trust with fraudulent intention
and grand larceny, and was found guilty,
liotwithstahdiDg the efforts of that able
lawyer. Col. Robert Aldrich, in his behalf.
Argument was heard on a motion to
quash tbe two other indictments, but Judge
Hudson refused the motion. A motion was
then mode for anew tnui in the case that a
verdict of guilty had been returned. This
was also refused.
Col. Aldrich tben moved that he be ad
mitted to bail peuding an appeal, notice of
which had been given, and stated that it
would be impossible fi r F.zzard to furnish
bail in a larger sum than $51)0, and urged
that the court admit him to bail in that
sum. The court held that it would grant
bail in the case in which there had not been
a conviction, placing it at #1,500 and #SJO
each in me other two cases; making $2,500
in all. Tne two other cases had been con
tinued pending the appeal. Col. T. R. Perry
Las been herein attendance upon court
aud has been used by the
•state as a witness, aud freely
gave a full statement oi the whole transac
tion, and while here conducted himself in a
mannerly way, thereby wiumug many
friends from the ranks of those who a t'e v
weeks ago thought him unworthy of their
confidence.
Ezzard is still in jail here. Nearly all of
the citiz,ens here and the dicers of the court
sincerely sympathize wuh him end regret
that he has allowed himself t' be brought
into this uufortunate affair.
In the case now under appeal he has be>n
sentenced to fifteen mo iths in the stale
penitentiary at hard labor.

HERE’S A NOVELTY.
Th’s F.esteurate ur Intends to Serve
£on{je by Patti With His Meals.
From the New York Advertiser.
A fashionable uptown restaurateur has
conceived a novel plan for entertaining his
patrons and adding to the popularity of his
place. The only point he is now consider
ing is its feasibility.
Of late it has 1 eeome quite the fad with
leadiug bosteirieß aud restaurants to pro
vide music at the afternoon and evening
meals. History shows that during the pe
riod of highest civilization among tho Greeks
aud Romans meal time was set aside not
merely for ealing, drinking and social in
tercourse, but those participating were en
tertained with music, minstrelsy and the
songs of the poeia. In these days, when the
custom is in part revived, the musical pro
gramme is usually supplied by a small or
chestra of string instruments, and the poets
have been supplanted by the after-dinner
speaker.
“Poets are scarce these days,” says the
restaurateur, ’’and after-dinner sneakers
plentiful. That accounts for the change.
"Now, I have noticed that all people do
not like to have their cars drummed upon
by interminable music while they eat. In
fact, to a large percentage it is a positive
annoyance. They preter not to eat in a
place where there is mustc. Aud, at best,
of what does this music consist? If, as Mr.
Bellamy, in his ‘Looking Backward,’ has
pictured, we could sit ut a meal aud turn
on the volumes of sound from the greatest
concert halls and opera houses of the world
there would he no reason for this objec
tion.
“That is what I propose virtually to do.
In fact, I will go Mr. Bellamy one better.
I shall have it so that each guest can hear
what h wishes, aud those who do not care
to hear any music at all need not be an
noyed.
‘*l am going to have a ‘musio and enter
tainment list’as well as a wine list.’ My
patron, in ordering his meal, can turn to it
and order a song by Patti, a speech by Tom
Heed or the great Blaine, ora cornet solo by
Levy. He can hear Mr. Mansfield as ‘Nero,’
Harah Bernhardt as ‘Cleopatra,’ DeWolf
Hopper reciting ‘Darling Casey at the Bat,’
or Della Fox singing in her own droll way
about the art of kissing,
“How am I going to do this! With the aid
of Mr. Edison, lam going to have a room
se apart for as many phonographs as I can
accommodate guests. Each phonograph
w ill have the register of tho songs, etc,, sec
forth in the ‘music aud entertainment list,’
and be connected by a sound tube with the
back of one of the chairs at the tables.
“VVhen a guest has seated himself, and
ordere* his meal and entertainment, the
wai > puts the oar pieces in his ears, the
tube being supported from behind, and he
listens to the choice music or the greatest
celebrities of the world. In time it will be
possible for my gues sto listen to eminent
en ertuiuers wno have bsea dead for years.
J shall have an entertainment chef and as
sistants in the phonograph room upon whom
the guest’s orders will be served.
“All that remains now is for me to con
sult with Mr. Edison, and see, in the first
place, if my plan is feasible, and in the
second place if l can perfect the business
arrangements with the phonograph com
pany to execute my plan lam advised by
phonographic experts that it can he easily
done.” J
The Largest Monoiitb.
From the St Faul Pioneer Press.
Ashland, YVTs., Nop. 18. —Theenormous
pillar of stone that will be the wooder of
thousands upon thousands of people who
will visit the world’s fair was broken from
from its bed at the Houghton quarry today
amid the cheers of the throng who visited
the quarry to w itness the breaking of the
monster Irom it* bed. The stone had been
sawed at each end and side, and but the
bottom remained to be broken from the bed
of which it was a part. On the bottom
wedges to the number of about 200 on each
side had been entered and only the signal to
drive them further remained.
At 11 o’clock Frederick Prentice, donor of
the monolith, from a place on the rock gave
tho signal to drive the wedges, aud fifty
workmen began a. the lower end to drive
them. Thou like clockwork the fifty mauls
of the men ro-e and fell as t'.ov moved from
the t>Bse to the apex of the stone step by
step. Blow ly a crevice appeared at the
! lower end of the stone which with each suc
ceeding blow became larger and larger
until the stone lay broken from the mass of
which it had been a porli n. Tho huge
stone lies at the outturn of toe quarry, and
| weighs in its present state tkiO tons, but
when dressed down will weigh about 420
tons.
