Amendment Offering Special Pri
vileges to Propose Closure.
Washington. Aug. 31.—Immediately
after the routine business of the opening
of the daily session, the House resumed
consideration of the rules, and Mr.
Piekler s amendment to increase the
membership of the committee on rules
from five to nine, was rejected.
Mr. Hooker's amendment to increase
the membership to eleven was lost.
On motion of Mr. Kilgore an amend
ment was adopted giving the committee
on ways and means jurisdiction over all
measures purporting to raise revenue.
The puri>ose of the amendment is to pre
vent such measures as the anti-options
bill and theoleomagarine act from being
referred by the shaker to the committee
on agriculture, as lias been done hereto
fore.
MAT REPORT AT ANT TIME.
Mr. Springer offered an amendment
giving the committee on banking and cur
rency the right to rejiort at any time on

FOR CLOSURE AT AST TIME.
Mr. Boatnar offered an amendment,
which practically puts it in the power of
any member who is in charge of any
proposition on the floor to propose closure
at any time that he thinks it advisable to
do so.
This amendment was debated, the con
census of opinion being against its adop
tion. The speeches were brief, not con
suming more than five minutes apiece,
Mr. Wilson of West Virgina in three
minutes making the strongest remarks
against the proposition.
It was not. he maintained, that the
majority should be protected. The pro
tection should be given to the majority.
The democratic idea always had been,
ttie fewer laws made the better it would
be for the country. A wise man had once
said that the best laws that had ever
been made had been laws to repeal pre
vious enactments. [Applause and laugh
ter. J
IT WAS FOB MA-TORITT PROTCTION.
Mr. Boatner, in advocating his amend
ment, said that it was the majority, and
not the minority, that asked for protec
tion, The minority should not be per
mitted to filibuster any measure to death.
The previous question was ordered on
the amendment, hut pending further ac
tion the House, at 4:soo’clock, adjourned.

STRIKE IMMINENT.
A Conference To-Day May Possi
bly Stave It Off.
Louisvilie, Aug. 81.—From the present
outlook the prospect for a general strike
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad
system is good unless something is done
in twenty-four hours to prevent it. The
grand chiefs of railroad orders are yet to
arrive. When they meet Presi
dent Smith and other officers
of the road a compromise
may be effected and friendly relations re
stored. At the Nashville meeting a few
days ago it wes decided by a vote of
nearly four to one to refuse the reduc
tion. Since then the feeling toward the
company has not mellowed, but rather in
tensified. Some of tlie men seem deter
mined to force an issue at this critical
time. Those who know most have
tlie least to say, but, according
to the best information obtainable,
a strike is imminent. It may-begin to
morrow. which is fixed for the 10 per
cent, reduction in wages to take effect.
Thousands of employees will be affected,
southern commerce blockaded, and there
is no calculating the extent of damage'
Loth to officials and operators, as well as
to shipping and the traveling public.

STEVE RYAN FREE.
Judge Clarke Renders a Decision Re
leasing Him From Custody.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug 31.—Judge Marshall
J. Clarke to-day rendered a decision re
leasing Stephen A ljyan from custody.
This is the end of a famous contempt case.
Ryan failed, and was sent to jail for con
tempt, this consisting in his fail
ure to pay into court certain
moneys which he was "declared to
have in his i>ossession He denied that
he had the amount siiecified. or indeed,
any money except that which was turned
over to the receiver. The fight has been
a long one. The litigation began May 2fi>,
1891 For thirteen months Ryan was in
Jail for contempt, the assets of his firm,
which failed, having to pay the cost of
litigation and his creditors getting noth
ing. Ryan is now a free man.
A celebrated case.
The case is a remarkable one. The re
ceiver apjiointed b.v the court
for Ryan's business held that he
had $125,000 in cash which he refused to
deliver up with other assets. Ryan
claimed that he had "kited” his bank
deposits ana was in this way made to ap
pear that he had the money alleged to be
in his hands. At any rate. Judge Gober
sent him to jail -on short notice. Fend
ing appeal on a bill of exceptions he was
released on a'bond of $125,000, but was
sent back to Jail again when the supreme
court affirmed the action of the
lower court. A law was then
got through the legislature providing for
the trial of contempt cases, involving
money by jury. Ryan was denied the
privilege of this law, however, unless
Judge Clarke saw fit to grant it. but an
auditor was appointed to go through the
entire ease. After several months' work
theauditor reduced theamount alleged to
be in Ryan’s custody to about $70,000.
Exceptions were taken to t his re |tort by
both sides, and Judge Clarke upheld tlie
defendant, dismissing the charge of con
tempt against Ryan, ,as already stated.
Ryan has been out on a bond of $125,000
since the work of the auditor began, and
is ngajfi at the head of the Ryan com
pany's dry goods establishment. He
failed with liabilities of $1.0003)00.
A WEDDING AT GUYTON,
Sad Havoc by the Storm Among Tur
pentine Trees.
Guyton, Aug. 31.—Guyton contributed
freely to the relief of those now at
Brunswick. Tlie amount was sent for
ward to Mayor Lamb on yesterday. The
turpentine operators in this section re

The town marshal with a force or
hands has been quite busy opening up the
streets and sidewalks for the past three
days.
R W. Sheppard and Miss Katie Haw
kins were married in the Methodist
church last evening at 8:80 o’clock. Rev.
O. W. Branch officiated. Mr. Sheppard
is a young lawer in this town, and is mak
ing a success in his profession. The
bride is a beautiful and accomplished
young lady, the adopted daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Hawkins of Guyton. The
decorations in the church were handsome
and tastefully arranged. There were
three arches spanning the middle aisle en
twined with white lace loojied in graceful
folds and held in place by long pieces of
ivy. Large vases of ferns and pampas
blooms were placed in various places
about the chancel.
During the ceremony the bride and
groom stood under a white umbrella,
which was nearly covered with snowballs
and white roses. Messrs. W. B. Mell. Jr.,
and D. Pritchard were the ushers. A
few days they will remain at the home of
Mr. J. L. Hawkins, and then they will
occupy Mr. Sheppard's new residence on
Railroad street.

been in Guyton a day or two. They came
up to attend the marriage last night.
KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Roger Founds in too Much of a Hurry to
Get Home.
Sandersviile, Ga., Aug. 31.—Roger
Pounds, a young man of this place, aged
21 years, was killed last night by the
Augusta southern posseuger train as it
was coming into Sandersviile.
He came from Augusta and as the
train was running slowly attempted to
get off at a point where the train for
merly stopi>ed before the de
pot was recently changed, as it
was more convenient to his home.
The night was very dark, and it is
thought that in tlie ‘attempt to descend
from the stops his head struck on tlie cor
ner of a cotton jilatform, and he was thus
knocked off and injured. His body was
bruised considerably and his right leg
broken. He was carried to his mother’s
residence and Dr. Win. Rawlings was
summoned, but nothing could be done
to save his life. Great sympa
thy is felt for the distressed family. Mr.
Pounds was an excellent young man and
his sad and sudden death has cast gloom
Upon our community.
Mr. George Gilmore, whose barn was
burned Monday night, did not lose any
horses, as was at first reported, lie
thought two that were in tlie barn had
perished, but afterwards found them in
the field.
THE STORM AT GIFFORD.
The Turpentine Woods a Mass of
Ruins.
Gifford, S. C., Aug 31.—The storm here
was severe. Trees fell across many
houses. In one a man had been sick for
months ami was expected to die. A tree
broke in the house and wounded the sick
man and his wife and child. They moved
into nn outhouse in the blinding rain. Tlie
man is now dead. A tree fell across one
man's horselot and killed his horse, mule
and cow. In one instance a large limb
broke through tlie roof of the ho use, and
it is stated stuck through the bed, right
between the man and his wife and with
out hurting either of them.
The turpentine woods are almost a mat
of fall'll timber, and roads are hard to
clear of the logs. Mr John Bowen had a
sad experience. His youngest child died
just as the storm commenced. He started
tho following morning to the family
graveyard at NixvUle. about 12 miles ami
the whole da.v and part of Monday night
were consumed cutting out roads and go
ing around swollen streams Open cotton
was badly damaged and late corn broken

THE MORNING NEWS; FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1893.
JOURNEYING AFOOT.
A Man. His Wife, and Two Daughters
on a Long Tramp.
Waycross. Ga . Aug. 31. Resting qui
etly and apparently contentedly beside
the railroad track just beyond the su
burbs on the Savannah division of the
Savannah, Florida and \Vesteru railroad
Saturday, were Mr. and Mrs. Melvin and
their two growu daughters. At first it
was thought that the unpretending
group might possibly have been Bruns
wick refugees and had probably been put
off tlie train this side of Blackshear.
This theory proved not to be correct.
They had wandered through the country,
camping along the roadside at night,
from their home some miles beyond
Montgomery, Ala , and were seeking
their relatives, the Melvin family, who
live on Reed's farm, one mile from the
passenger dejiot.
OVF,ISA MONTH ON THE ROAD.
On July2K the family left their home
taking with them such things
as they could in the line of bedding and
cooking utensils. I’revisions were bought
along the road. The poverty of the fam
ily caused them to undertake this Jour
ney on foot. The farm, which has once
been the souK’e of a comfortable living,
faied to bring in any returns, because of
the short crops and the stringency of the
times. There appeared to lx- but one wise
and proper course for Mr. Melvin to pur
sue. and that was to come to Waycross.
where progress and prosperity go hand in
hand. Arriving here, after many ex
|x*ricnces, the Melvins fell beside’the rail
road track, within 100 yards of their des
tination, from sheer exhaustion. They
were not aware that they were so near to
Waycross.
THEIR JOYOUS DISCOVERY.
They were approached b.v an officer,
who questioned them closely concerning
whence they came. Learning that they
were so near the end of their journey
they gave a shout of joy; and, thanking
God for his mercies and goodness in bring
ing them safely to their friends, they rose
up and plodded on up the beautiful lane
in front of tlie residence on the farm.
STREET FIGHT.
In Which a Cane and an Umbrella
Were Employed.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 31.—Ttie sensation
of to-day in the artesian city was a street
fight this morning between Mr. Joseph
Davis, cashier of the ' First National
Bank, and Prof. Zeno I Fitzpat
rick. former principal of the High
sciiool here, but now of Quit
man. Prof. Fitzpatrick was en route
home from a trip to Chicago and stopped
over here to pay his respoct* to old
friends. While he was waikingou Broad
street this morning he encountered Mr.
Davis, and before anyone had time to re
alize the situation they began hammering
on each other, the former with an um
brella and the latter with a walking cane.
THE BELLIGERENTS PARTED.
Friends, however, rushed in and sep
arated the angry gentlemen before either
of them was seriously injured. The diffi
culty originated in reference to school
matters during Prof. Fitzpatrick’s super
intendeney of the school here, Mr. Davis
being school commissioner and a patron
of the school. It was a case of dislike
breeding dislike, and was precipitated by
some letters written by Prof. Fitzpatrick
to persons here and his presence in the
city. Both men are true grit, and it is
sincerely hoped that their differences may
be amicably adjusted.
PHYSICIANS PUZZLED.
The Ice Cream Poisoning at Columbus
Baffles Explanation.
Columbus, Ga., Aug. 31.—At midnight
last night Miss Mattie Collier died of ice
cream poisoning, and late to-night Mrs.
Collier and her eldest daughter. Miss
Belle, are not expected to live till morn
ing. The case is puzzling physicians, as
the autopsy on the body of Miss Collier
revealed no trace of poison in the stomach,
though the intestines were frightfully
gangrenous and ulcerated. One theory is
that tlie acids of the stomach failed to
neutralize and absorb tho poison, forcing
it into tlie intestines, and while the
nature of tho poison is not known, the
theory is that it was caused by a combi
nation of the different metals in the
freezer coming in contact witli the cream
during the process of manufacture, thus
generating a deadly but unknown poison
ous matter. The patients were compara
tively free from pain, but the whole
stomach feels numb and dead. The symp
toms and temperature change rapidly,
rending the case more puzzling to the phy
sicians, none of whom have had similar
cases in former practice.
THE LEMON CROP.
Much of it Gathered, But Being Held
For Prices.
Candler, Fla., Aug. 81.—Mrs. M. W.
Wilkins and little daughter are spending
the summer at Massac, Ky. The first
shipment of lemons from this place was
made last week by the Mo it kino News
correspondent. They were shipped to
Atlanta. Lemon picking will begin in
earnest next week. A great deal of the
lemon crop at South Lake Weir has been
already gathered, but growers are holding
for better prices when the Messina fruit
is cleared up.
It is estimated by conservative growers
that the orange crop here will be nearly
double that of last season. The fruit is
not cracking open near as bad as last sea
son.
WARCROS3 GOSSIP.

Waycross, Ga., Aug. 31.—The platform

The President and Family.
Greenwich. Conn., Aug. 81.—The yacht
Oneida, with the President and family on
board, anchored o f Captain's island late
last night. Mr. E. C. Benedict, ownerof
the Oneida, who came with tlie party
from Buzzard's Bay. came ashore early
thismorning ami was driven to his resi
dence, about a mile and haf distant. All
efforts to board the yacht proved fruit
less, no one ooing permitted to go on
board. It is believed Oneida will sail
for New Y’ork this afternoon.
The Storm in Bulloch County.
Kufus. Bnlloeh Cos., Ga., Aug. 30.—The
heavy s orra that visited this place Sun
day uight did great rdamage to crops,
fences and houses. It blew a large tree
across Mr. C. C. Newman's store house,
damaging the store and almost ruining
li is entire stock of goods. Mr. Newman's
loss is between #1,200 and $1,500. There
were no lives lost in this part of the
county.

MOBILE S SHOWING.
Splendid Report of the Year's Busi
ness and Fine Future Outlook.
Mobile, Ala., Aug. 31.—The Register
prints to-morrow its annual statement of
the commerce and trade at Mobile, show
iug that, in spite of the very hard times
at present prerailing, the city and port
have made remarkable progress. Cotton
receipts alone have been short,
but this is accounted for by
the short crop in the district,
caused by bad weather and the extraor
dinary Hoods in the Alabama and Tom
bigbee rivers. In every other particular
the commerce shows a gratifying in
crease. The ship channel has been in
creased in depth to twenty-three feet, ex
cept for a small section, which will soon
lx- deepened. Vessels drawing twenty
and one-half feet can now easily pass up
or down.
LUMBER AND COAL SHIPMENTS.
The number of vessels has increased
this year 24 per cent. Lumber and tim
ber shipments this year were 162,000.000
feet, ngaiust 141,000.000 last year. The
export of Alabama coal, begun last year,
shows an increase of 80 per cent, the ex
ports this year being ~S,tKX)
tons. The truck farming inter-*
est has grown largely during the
year, and shows a great increase in ship
ments. Hence to the north and west
much building and improvement has gone
forward this year, especially in the way
of homes. Tlie whole system of street
railways has been electrified, giving Mo
bile the most complete system intramural
transportation in the country. The Mo
bile and Birmingham railroad has just
built iuto the city at great expense, and is
now complete.
EXCELLENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Trade, on tlie whole, has been very good
for the greater part of the year. Banks
are amply supplied with money with
which to move tlie crops. A large in
crease in cotton receipts is confidently
looked for. Cotton is moving now, and
confidence is fairly resuming its sway.
ALARMIST RESOLVES.
Mechanicsville Alliance of South Caro
lina Wants a Stay Law.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31.—The farmers
are becoming alarmed at the likelihood of
having to market their cotton at present
prices, and to-day the MechanicsviUe al

there is practically no money to move the cot
ton crop:
And whereas Congress does not steem to in

from bankruptcy; therefore be it
Resolved/ 1. 'that we earnestly appeal to
the governor of South Carolina to call un ex
tra : o -slon of the legislature, not later than
September 15, to pas- a stay law on all debts
falling due on or before November, so that

PROCLAMATION.
Mayor's Office, I
City of Savakmah. Aug. 31. 1893. f
Whereas, by an act of the General Assembly
of Georgia, approved Oct. 16, 1891, the first
Monday in September of each and every’ year
is set apart- as a legal ho’iday to be known as
"Labor Day;” and, whereas, nothing is said
in said act concerning the duty of banks as
regards the presenting for payment or ac
ceptance and of the protesting atjd giving no
tice of the dishonor of bills of exchange, bank
checks and promissory nttes; and, whereas,
grave doubts exist as to the legality of said
act; but, whereas, it is the manifest polteyoof
this state that the first Monday in September
should be observed as a legal holiday; and,
whereas, it is meet and projier that all per
sons in .every calling and business should
have an opportunity of celebrating said day
in some htand proper manner: and, whereas,
the people of this city and community have
much for which to be thankful.
Now, therefore, 1, John J. McDonough,
Mayor of the city of Savannah, by virtue of
the power vested in me, do hereby issue this,
my proclamation, appointing Monday, the 4th
