STOCKHIILDRKS SOI IRMING.
The A, I’. and L. lo Try to fat the
Road Away From the S. A. M.
Minority Stockholders Claim That the
Charter of the S. A. M. was Issued
In Violation of the Constitutional
Requirements and That Therefore
the Contract With the A P. and L.
is of no Force.
Cordele, Ga , Oot. 3 —The Morxino
News correspondent learns to-night from
irooii authority that an im|>ortant step
will be taken to-morrow in the litigation
in the Savannah. Americus and Mont
gomery railroad ease.
To-day Col. .1. E. D. Shipp of Americus,
as attorney for Johnson .V Harrold, E. J.
Eldridge, J. L. Hall, Carl Sadder and
others, minority stockholders of the
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin Railroad
Company, demanded of the old directors
Of that road th,V they should proceed to
recover in the eourts all the property,
rights and franchises of the Americus.
Preston and Lumpkin Railroad Company.
This notice created a ripple of excitement
among those interested, and it isexpected
that on to-morrow a full fledged
sensation will be sprung. It is
reported that to-morrow morning these
minority stockholders will lile a petition
stating that the Americus, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad was incorporated un-
der the general law for the incorporation
of railroads as found in section 1 .089 of
the code of Georgia, and that under this
general charter the Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin was built from Louvalc to
Abbeville, a distance of 110 miles; that
in 18S8 a special legislative charter was
granted to the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery railroad by which,
upon a vote of a majority
of the directors of the
Americus. Preston and Lumpkin rail
road, the Savannah, Americus and Mont
gomery railroad was to absorb the for
mer with all its rights and privileges:
that under this special charter a road
was built from Abbeville to Lyons and
from Louvale to Montgomery, and that
the whole was operated under the name
of the Savannah, Americus and Montgom
ery railroad; that several months since
the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
railroad became insolvent and was placed
by the court in the hands of T. Edward
Hambleton andS. H. Hawkins as receiv
ers.
CLAIM OF THE MINORITY.
The minority stockholders will claim in
their petition that the special charter be
ing unconstitutional, no rights should ac
crue thereunder, and that said corpora
tion formed under this illegal charter did
not have the right to contract nor do any
thing else, and that the minority stock
holders of the Americus, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad are not hound by any
contract the directors of the Americus,
Preston and Lumpkin may have made
with the Savannah, Americus and Mont
gomery railroad without the consent of
the stockholders.
The section of the constitution that is
claimed to be violated by the special legis
lative charter of the Savannah, Americus
and Montgomery railroad reads as fol
lows: “Laws of a general nature shall
have a uniform operation throughout the
state and no special law shall he enacted
in any case where provision has been
made by an existing general law.” Jt is
understood that these minority stock
holders will ask tin; court to appoint a
special receiver for the Americus, I ‘res
ton and Lumpkin railroad, which they
allege is a perfectly solvent corporation
and almost free from debt. They claim
that they have never consented to the ab
sorption of the road and that they have
never had their stock changed or
re-issued by the Savannah, Americus and
Montgomery railroad. In several other
states having constitutions similar to
Georgia's railroads incorporated by
special act of the legislature liave been
declared unconstitutional and these
minority stockholders think that in this
case the result cannot be different. The
case involves a great deal as the 110 miles
of railroad which formerly composed the
Americus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad
is very valuable. If the litigation is suc
cessful the stockholders of that road will
e greatly benefited.

BLACKBURN FOB CONGRESS
The Editor Proposes to Mske it Hot for
Col. Livingston.
Atlanta. Ga Oct. 3 Editor B M.
Blackburn, who has nx-ently come to the
front again by refusing to accept a $2 shi
consulship at the hands of Mr Cleveland
tot recognition of his service to the party
during the last campaign, will be a candi
date for congress next year Mr. Black
burn as elector from the Fifth district
made a thorough canvass for the demo
crat ticket, and in this work be came into
personal contact with the people. He is
an energetic young man with plenty of
nerve, as his course in Washington shows,
and he will be warmly sup|>orted by
his friends. He is already on
record as one of the most vehement anti-
Livingston men in the district, and the
fight between the two, if no more enter
the field, will he full of interest. Mr
Blackburn has determined to make the
race, and will announce himself when
the proper time arrives. Besides the is
sues drawn upon Representative Living
ston, Mr. Blackburn's candidacy will
doubtless draw the line between Secre
tary Hoke Smith's friends and those who
are not particularly devoted to him. as
Mr. Blackburn holds the Secretary of the
Interior resixinsible for his failure to land
snugly with the administration. They
have always been at opposite ends of the
rope, and Mr. Blackburn's friends believe
he is sure to draw his gun on the secre
tary when the campaign opens up.
ATLANTA’S POSTMASTERSHIP.
Rumors That Charges Will be Pre
ferred to Get Lewis Out.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 3.—The prediction
in these dispatches yesterday that
charges would be preferred against l'ost
master Lewis in order to get him out of
the way of his democratic successor is al
ready verrified if ■ ports in circulation
here to-day arc well founded. It is un
derstood that the charges have already
been formally preferred and will be for
warded to Washington at once. Dr.
Amos Pox. who will succeed Postmaster
lA'wis. and J. M. Banks, who is to be as
sistant jiostmastcr. both refuse to confirm
the report, but there are other circum
stances which go strongly to confirm the
rumors.
THE CHARGES.
Tho charges will be mismanage
ment as well as offensive parti
sanship. Postmaster Lewis laid him
self liable to the latter count almost im
mediately after entering the office, and
the secret service department is in pos
session of facts in connection with the re
cent wholesale robberies from the office,
which are anything but complimentary to
the management of Gen. Lewis. • The
robberies had been committed over a
month before the postmaster was aware
of tho loss of the mail ]touches. It also
comes out that there was negligence on
tho part of employes who were asleep
when they should have been awake and
on the alert, which made the robberies
possible. But there have been no remov
als for negligence of duty and hence Post
master Lewis is censured.

ATLANTA’S HOSPITAL SCANDAL.
An Official Investigation of the Mat
ter Probable.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 3.—Thero is quiet
talk of an official investigation of the con
duct of the Grady Hospital officials in ad
mitting Mrs. Gussie Turner there for the
purpose of using the institution as a tryst
ing place to meet the infatuated Dr.
Emory of Opelika. Mrs. Turner and Dr.
Emory made no effort to conceal their
identity when the room was engaged at
the. hospital. The trustees of the hospital
have had the affair regularly brought to
their attention, and an investigation is
regarded as unavoidable, though it will
be conducted in a quiet way so as to keep
down the scandal, should' developments
prove the truth of the suspicious atmos

KYI E DEFENDS THE SOUTH.
The Minority Report on the Election
Rill a Slander.
States in the North Just as Open to
Criticism as Any of Those in the
South The Color Line Drawn in the
Election Laws of Nebraska When
That State Was a Territory - The At
tendance of Members Again Very
Slim.
Washington, Oct. 3.—The call of the
committees iu the House this morning
was unproductive of results, and the de
bate on the federal election repeal bill
was resumed.
Mr. Northway, rep., of Ohio, in speak
ing against the measure, said that it was
a peculiarity of his to stand by the under
dog in the fight, and, realizing that the
United {States was the under-dog in this
fight, he took some pleasure in defending
that under dog. He then entered upon
an argument fb prove that th > ■ laws were
erfectly constitutional.
Mr. Kyle dem., of Mississippi, spoke in
opposition to the federal election laws.
The minority reixirt from the committee
on the election of President and Vice
President lias not been equaled for in
justice by any report that he had ever
read; and lie denounced tne statement
made in that report that Mississippi had
the most perfect operating system for
fraud yet devised in the south.
He submitted that there was no good
reason why Mississippi should be held up
and criticised and the election methods
north of Mason and Dixon's line should
not be open to criticism. He proceeded
to criticise the statutes of the states
from which the members who signed the
minority reixirt came. Referring to the
statutes of Nebraska, represented by
Mr. Hainer, he read a law passed when
Nebrska was a territory restricting suf
forage to "free white." What would be
thought of Mississippi if she had such a
law f
Mr. Ray, rep., of New York—Do you
honestly think— | Laughter. ]
Mr. Kyle 1 don't think except honestly,
and I want you to remember that.
[Laughter. ]
Mr. Kay—l beg your pardon.
Mr. Kyle—l accept your apology this
time. (Laughter.]
The question propounded by Mr. Ita.v
was unimportant, and the answer was
equally so.
MANHOOD AS THE lIASIS.
Representative Murray, rep., of South
Carolina, interrupted Mr. Kyle with the
question as to whether in a government
like ours suffrage should be one of man
hood, inasmuch as that suffrage was the
only defense of the poor man.
Mr. Kyle was about to pass the ques
tion over, when Mr. Boutelle, rep., of
Maine, rose and iu his vigorous manner
asked for an answer.
Mr. Kyle, not exactly understanding
the question, and believing that Mr.
Boutelle did not either, asked the gentle
man from Maine to repeat it. remarking
at the time that another Daniel had conic
to judgment.
Mr. Boutelle declined to do so. It was
a question propounded by the gentleman
from South Carolina. At his request Rep
resentative Murray repeated the query.
in reply, Mr. Kyle said that suffrage
was whatever the state made it.
“That does not answer it,” exclaimed
Mr. Boutelle. “No Daniel ever came to
judgment in that way. We will have to
re-name you if you cannot answer it bet
ter than that.”
Mr. Kyle—l will answer any question
that the gentlemen from Maine wishes to
ask. But I don’t yield now. 1 think you
(alluding to Mr. Boutelle) had better
take your seat.
“It is better for you, I think,” was Mr.
Boutelle’s retort.
“I think it is better for you too,” was
Mr. Kyle’s rejoinder.
MURRAY BOBS UP AGAIN.
“I did not understand the answer to
my question,” interjected Representative
Murray.
Mr. Kyle What is that you want me to
answer; (I -uighter]!
Representative Murray repeated his
question.
Mr. Kyle replied that, not comprehen
ding exactly what the question meant, he
would answer “No. What did the gentle
man mean by man hood ;”o
Mr. Murray replied that he meant by
manhood any man who was 21 years of
ageand was of sound mind and came under
the laws.
Mr. Kyle reiterated his negative an
swer to the question, and he said that he
was in accord with the constitution of
Mississippi to which he had taken his
oath.
Mr. Boutelle—What about the oath
you took to the United States; [Laugh
ter. ]
Mr. Kyle—The same way. [Laugh
ter.]
Mr. Kyle thou went on to argue the re
peal bill. The federal election laws
should he repealed because they were un
necessary, because they were not in the
genius of our government, because they
were inconsistent with our republican in
stitutions and because they were a tax
upon the people.
THE SLIM ATTENDANCE.
Mr. Bowers, rep., of California, in
speaking against the bill, denounced sar
castically, the election laws as a “fright
ful specter,” and then went on to ridicule
the House for the slim attendance at the
debates. He understood, however, that
the giants were training for the last great
struggle. They were tightening up their
belly bands. While the giants were in
training quarters the House was de
serted. Wheu the giants shied their hats
into the ring the attendance might be
larger.
Mr. DeForest, deni . of Connecticut, fol
lowed with an argument in favor of the
bill.
Then Mr. Dunphy, dcm., of New York,
asked for the immediate consideration of
the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill His request was granted.
The vote on the bill resulted 14 to 13;
and Mr. Warner raised the point of no
quorum.
The House then, at 4:55 o'clock ad
journed.
FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP.
Transportation Companies Making
Big Preparations to Handle It.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 3.—Prepara
tions are being made by both the steam
ship and railroad lines to handle the
orange crop, and indications point to more
transportation facilities being offered
orange men for reaching the markets of
the world than ever befbre. In addition
to those already chronicled is anew vent
ure on the part of Philadelphia capitalists.
On Nov. 15 anew line of two steamships
will tie run between Jacksonville and
Philadelphia through the orange season.
Parties are now in the city securing
wharfage.
The indications jioint to the largest
crop of oranges in the history of that in
dustry, but with a broader market the
growers anticipate better prices than
have prevailed.

Gov. Tillman Chosen Temporary
Chairman and Makes a Speech.
St. luis. Oct. 3.—There were about
175 delegates present t the first day's
session of the Pan-American bimetallic
convention.
Ex-Congressman Frank and Gov. Stone
welcomed the delegates to tho city and
state. S. S. King of Kansas responded.
Gov. Tillman of South Carolina was
chosen tenqxjrarv chairman, and in his
address charged that the reduction in
the attendance at the convention was due
the power of the press to smother
to the efforts of the masses.
The time was (aiming, however,
when the west and south would join hands
and win their rights, if not by agitation,
by their ballots. He deprecated section
alism, but said; "God forbid that the
moral section should become the slave of
another.”
At the afternoon session, the creden
tials committee reported an authorized
convention list of 160, representing Colo
rado, lowa, Texas. Indiana. Montana,
Kansas, South Carolina, New Mexico,
Arkausas and Missouri.

to appoint delegates, was given power to
east a state vote, as was also J. K.
Weatherford of Oregon, for his state.
The following officers were chosen:
President—Gov. Lewellyn of Kansas.
Vice President—M. E. Benton of Mis
souri.

DELAND IN LUCK.
John B. Stetson University Left a
Legacy of Over $1,000,000.
DcLand. Fla., Oct. 3.—DeLand to-day
claims the richest educational institution
fund anywhere in the south. By the
death last week of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
T. Sampson of Washington, their estate,
valued at over $1,000.000. goes to the John
B. Stetson University of this place. This
generous couple had already made muni
ficent donations to tho institution, pre
senting it with a very valuable library,
building one of its handsome buildings,
and contributed the elegant furniture
placed last winter in Elizabeth hall, an
#IOO.OOO building erected by Mrs. Stetson,
the wife of the generous Philadelphian
from whom the college was named.
This college was first founded by Hon.
H. A, Del,and and was known as the
DeLand Academy. A few years ago, its
name was changed to the John B. Stet
son University, for the rich Philadelphia
hatter, and from whom since then the
college has received rich donations. Tho
doors of its magnificent buildings will
open to-morrow and nearly 200 students
have already arrived to attend. It is one
of the modern and model educational in
stitutions of the south. and its growing
prosperity is simply phenomenal. It has
near a score of the best instructors that
could be secured, and its opening to-mor
row will be under most auspicious condi
tions.
At its regular meeting to-morrow night
the city council will order an election for
bonding the town under its amended
charter for the water works extension,
street paving, etc.
The local bank has resumed payment,
there is a large orange crop to gather,
many people are coming here to invest
and settle, and It seems that DeLand is
to-day upon the very threshold of a glori
ous and prosperous era.
