CEORGIATO PAY THE BONDS.
Be House Passes the Bill to That
Effect by a Vote of 89 to 57.
ITo Interest to Be Paid Beyond the
Date of Their Maturity Twenty
three Years Ago-Local Bills of
Representatives Guerard and Os
borne Passed Several Speeches
Made on the Bond Matter.
Atlanta. Ga.. Nov. 39. —The Senate de-
TOted itself to-day to passing bills inter
esting to Savannah. The bills passed
were: that of Mr. Osborne, regulating:
municipal elections and those by Mr.
Guerard authorizing the city to own and
operate its own electric light plant, and to
authorize the city to levy and collect a
tax on telephone, electric light, telegraph
and other poles.
Mr. Guerard’s “holiday bill” was also
passed, while another by the same mem
ber. to amend section 3TS3 of the code was
killed.
The following were also passed:
To establish public schools at Way
cross.
To incorporate the town of Comer, in
Madison county.
To permit the town of Milner to issue
bonds to construct school houses.
Mr. Wooten's bill to establish a state
naval militia.
A bill was passed relieving Capt. Beirne
Gordon, of the Georgia Hussars, from his
bond for safe keeping of arms.
A bill to empower the city of Waycross
to issue bonds to build school houses, was
passed.
Mr. Wilcox introduced a bill to estab
lish a registration law for Liberty county;
also to require the county commissioners
of Liberty county to publish the minutes
of each meeting.
A VOTE TO PAT THE BONDS.
The House to-day, after debating the
proposition during the whole session,
voted to pay the Hayes and Scott bonds
without interest since maturity, which
was twenty-three years ago. That is,
new bonds to the amount of the principal
of the old ones will be issued to meet the
obligation, if the Senate confirms the
action of the House.
Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, who was
•peaking on the bill when the House ad
journed yesterday, concluded his speech
this morning. He made a strong plea for
the state, maintaining her integrity by
paying off these bonds, which he argued
were a just debt.
Mr. Wheeler, of Walker, Introduced an
amendment that no interest be paid on
the bonds on the ground that a sovereign
is not liable for interest on matured in
debtedness.
Mr. Harrison, of Quitman, spoke against
this amendment.
Mr. Sears, of Webster, opposed the
payment of the bonds.
Mr. Battle, of Muscogee, said he was
born a democrat, raised a democrat, and
considering democracy to be honest, he
favored the payment of the bonds, inter
est and principal, dollar for dollar.
Speaker Atkinson followed Mr. Battle
for paying the bonds. He said that dur
ing the eight years he had been a member
of the House, there never had been a
valid reason advanced why the bonds
should not be paid. Mr. Atkinson made
a most able and convincing speech in
favor of paying the bonds, but he was op
posed to paying any interest that had ac
crued after the bonds had matured.
BACON INTERPRETS THE LAW.
Mr. Bacon, of Bibb, also spoke in favor
Of the bill, because, he said, everything
showed that it was an honest debt and it
should be paid. He said that while he
believed interest should be paid from the
time the bonds matured up to the time
the money was paid, while he thought it
was right between man and man, as a
lawyer he was forced to agree with the
speaker of the House that there was no
legal right for the state to pay this inter
est.
He was followed by Mr. Candler, of
DeKalb, who took issue with him on the
question of interest, maintaining that the
state should pay all the interest, as it
was a part of the public debt.
Mr. Allen, of Upson, spoke in favor of
paying the bonds and the interest.
The vote was then taken on the amend
ment of Mr. Wheeler, of Walker. It re
sulted in SO for and 33 votes against.
Mr. Martin, of Fulton, s|s>ke against
the amendment when it came up in the
House on the passage of the bill, but it
was adopted by a vote of 19 to 64, thus
killing the interest on the bonds, which
amounts to 825.000, more than the princi
pal, which is only $30,500.
M BRIDE AGAINST PAYING.
At this point, Mr. Mcßride, of Haral
son, introduced a resolution that the gov
ernor should appoint a committee of
three to investigate these bonds and re
port to the next legislature.
Mr. Mcßride made a speech in favor of
his resolution to dodge this issue which
has been dodged so often before.
Mr. Graham, of Appling, wanted to
amend the resolution by appropriating
$3,000 to defray the expenses of the com
mission.
Mr. Render, of Meriwether, called the
previous question and the call was sus
tained.
The amendment to appropriate $3,000
was overwhelmingly lost and so was Mr
Mcßride's resolution.
On a call of the ayes and nays the bill
was passed by a vote of HO to 67.
Mr. Rankin gave notice that he would
move to reconsider.
The House then adjourned until Friday
morning, as to-morrow will •be spent by
the members in Augusta at the exposi
tion.

ATHENS' SENSATION.
Another of the Lost Books of the Al
liance Warehouse Found.
Athens, Ga., Nov. 39.—The lost books
of the alliance warehouse are nearly all
found. The ledger was found in the river
to-day and the journal yesterday. The
last pages of each are missing, co that the
books furnish no clew as to what amount
is short.
An expert, it is said, examined the
books before they were spirited away and
estimated the shortage at $3,500. For
this amount W. A. McElhannon was ar
rested on a writ in trover and has given
bond. He is on the streets to-day among
his friends, and emphatically denies any
knowledge of the disappearance of the
books, or that he has any of
the money. He says there are facts un
known to the public, which he will di
vulge at the proper time, and intimates
that others will he implicated.
McElhannon is a young married man.
33 years of age, of good family and repu
tation and very intelligent. He is the
leader of the third party in Clarke. It is
the theory of some that the money is in
cotton futures. The affairs of the ware
house are wofully mixed. Several thou
sand bales are stored and there is noth
ing to show to whom they belong or how
much money has been drawn.

missing books will be found in the Geor

AN OKEEFINOKEE YARN.
It Comes From the Depths of a Deep
Dark Swamp.
Waycross, Ga., Nov. 39.—“ Speaking of
crying babies,” said a well known gentle
man last night, “reminds me of the singu
lar afflictions of two brothers, John and
Henry Dyers, living in the vicinity of the
western boundary of the Okeefinokee
swamp. John is an inveterate laugher,
being the champion of the world. He
laughs periodically and spasmodically
every hour of his life, night and day. His
peals of laughter can be heard a distance
of two miles on a calm night. The
neighbors at first could not sleep on ac
count of the noise, but they have become
accustomed to it. He scarcely speaks
to any one and when spoken
to, will frighten a stranger by
the piercing peals of laughter, and will
then laugh himself into spasms. He has
never been away from home, and would
certainly be arrested if permitted to at
tend church or a theater. An audience
would probably think his laughter was
the war-whoop of an Indian, and a panic
would be the result. Henry has cried
from birth, and his lungs are remarkably
sound. His cries, like those of a hungry
hyena, break forth on the stillness of the
night and the strangers in the community
are alarmed. His eyes never look bright,
but well with tears continually. lie
weeps spasmodically, night and day. lie
rarely ever laughs. Tne two boys are en
tering their teens and have never left the
community.”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1893.
STILL FIGHTING OVER HILL.
Gov. Northen Refuses to Request His
Extradition.
The Governor Takes the Position
That the Grand Jury Must Pass
On the Case First— The Governor
of Ohio Asked to Hold Hill Till
the Grand Jury Acts —The At
torneys for the Prosecution Make
Sensational Charges.
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 29. —The Harry Hill
case is growing daily in sensational pro
portions. Gov. Northern after htaring
argument from both sides, has refused to
grant requisition papers for Hill unless
the grand jury indicts him. This, the
prosecution claims, the grand jury will
not do on account of the heavy influence
of the other side, even if
Hill could be held in Cin
cinnati until that body takes up the
case. But the grand jury cannot be got
ten together before Friday or Saturday,
which means that Hill will be set free by
the Cincinnati police, as it would be pre
posterous to hold him until the grand
jury sees tit to investigate the warrant
now outstanding against him. In refus
ing the requisition to-day, the governor
telegraphed the governor of Ohio to hold
Hill until the grand jury acts, if he in.
MAT CHANGE HIS MIND.
If Ohio refuses to grant this request,
which is very probable, as it is illegal,
Gov. Northen may grant the requisition
without waiting for the grand jury to
assume the responsibility. Gov. Northen s
course in the case is much criticised. The
custom has always been to grant requisi
tions upon bench warrants, and a hearing,
such as took place to-day when the attor
neys undertook to fight the case out in
the executive department as if the
governor were upon tne bench, is without
precedent.
SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
During the hearing some sensational
charges were made by thej attorneys
fighting for Hill's return to Georgia.
They charged that Solicitor Hill had
never manifested any disposition to try
Hill on the indictments for forgery, and
that unless he was now brought back and
forced to trial by outside interests he
would never be done justice in court.
They claim that the certificate of sick
ness upon which Hill’s case was post
poned some weeks ago was “signed by a
man of questionable standing in the com
munity,” whereas, it should have come
from the county physician. The whole
legal procedure was held up as a farce
and travesty on justice.
The position taken by Hill’s attorneys
who want to get him out of the way is
that the governor should not issue requi
sition papers except on a grand jury in
dictment.
A NEWSPAPER TO TAKE A HAND.
J. M. Tolleson, cashier of the Empire
State Bank, who wants Hill, telegraphed
the New York Herald, asking that paper
to expose the alleged official corruption
in the case. He claims that facts are
suppressed here and calls upon the Her
ald to see justice done. To-night Tolleson
received a message signed James Gordon
Bennett, saying that the Herald would at
once take hold of the case. The Herald
had a special man on the ground recently
when Hill's case was set for trial to bring
out .the whole story.
CAROLINA’S DISPENSARIES.
Gov. Tillman Gives Out a Statement
of Their Financial Showing.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 29.—The following
interesting figures concerning the dispen
sary were given out by Gov. Tillman to
night: Total purchases by counties,
$185,028.95; remittances, $09,883.98; total
sales by all counties, $166,043.56; stock on
hand in county dispensaries, $43,826.48;
expenses of county dispensaries, $19,-
890.04; total expenses of state dispensary
to Nov. 1, $72,566.36, of which $12,872.58
was for constabulary, over $15,000 for
freight, and over SIB,OOO for bottles and
flasks.

state dispensary is $70,251.22: cash on
hand, $7,514.55; amount due by dispensers,
$82,953.50; bills payable, $61,027.53.

Carolina’s Judgeships.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 29. —The House
to-day very promptly squelched a con
current resolution providing that an elec
tion for judges be held next Saturday as
recommended in the governor’s message.
Mr. Jordan, of Aiken, a prominent re
former, said it was unnecessary to force
these elections and that the bill to pro
vide new judicial districts should first be
disposed of. He had heard of no elec
tioneering going on. His motion to make
the time Dec. 12 was carried.
The reform members of the legislature
held a secret caucus to night. The dis
cussion was principally about the judge
ships. and it is understood that the sup
porters of the present judges showed
more strength than was expected.
Speaker Jones is out of the race for
judge against Judge Witherspoon, but is
a candidate for the assistant judgeship.
This will make a hot fight in reform circles
between thespeakerand Lieut.-Gov. Gary,
as the reform candidate against Justice
McGowan. Speaker Jones defeated
Lieut. Gov. Gary's brother for the
speakership two years ago. Judge Mc-
Gowan's chances appear to be hightened
by Mr. Jones' candidacy.
Representative A. C. Brice, of Chester,
will accordingly be run against Judge
Witherspoon. It was decided in the cau
cus that Representative Jordan's bill to
create two additional judicial districts
should be dropped so that the election
for judges will take place within the next
few days.
Carolina Prohibits Prize Fighting.
Columbia. S. C., Nov. 29. A bill pro

penalty is three years imprisonment and
SI,OOO fine for principals and seconds.
GASTON TO BE LET GO.
Gov. Flower Declines to Honor Gov.
Northen's Requisition.
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 29.—Gov. Northen
to-day received a telegram from Gov.
Flower, of New York, regarding the re
turn of Benjamin F. Gaston, the negro
emigrant agent, wanted here for swind
ling the Georgia negroes who wanted to
go to live in Africa.
The governor stated that he could not
allow his return on a simple accusation
sworn out before a notary public. The
papers, he said, should have been issued
by a magistrate, and then they would
have been in the pro per shape. It is prob
able that Gaston will be released at once.
Jesup’s Quarantine.
Jesup, Ga., Nov. 29.—1f there is no
change in the situation at Brunswick all

DANIEL SULLIVAN
Died Nov. 23. 1893.
Death. O. Death the dread monarch of
earthly careers, with His imperial scepter. Is
ever in our midst Humbly we must Low our
heads when His inevitable summon comes.
Reverentially we look up to Him whose arbi
trament is bnal. We re: oznize that He who
giveth taseth away, and that in all things His
mscrutaolc wisdom is superior to our lesser
understandings. When the Msrciful Giver
of a 1 takes from among us
a bright. young life, we are
apt to murmur, hut we are reminded that He
who disienses all good doeth all things well.
Our near beloved one yho.se untimely end we
so sincerely deplore was a shining example to
all that knew him. It is hard to tomfort the
sore and grief-stricken hearts of those in his
home, and more especially, his broken
hearted wife, who had so fondly hoped that
he would be the prop of her tire
side: but we would reverently whisper
in her broken heart that there is "Balm in
Gilead.” and commend her '' to the Father of
Mercies " and God of all comfort whocom
forteth us in all our tribulation, that we may
be abie to comfort those who are in any trou
ble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves
are cr mforted of God. This is hut a just trib
ute to the memory of the dear departed, to
say that in mourning, and regretting his re
moval from our midst we have lost a vali a tie
and worthy friend.
Death has robbed us of our loved one,
Whom we loved and cherished dear.
It was our loved one— yes. our loved one;
Can we help but shed bitter, bitter tears?
We miss his coming foot-ster s,
We miss him at all times, and everywhere.
Home is not what it used to be.
bince our tit ar husband and father is not
here.
Though all pain, at times he smiled,
A smile of heavenly birth—
And w hen the angels called him home.
He smiled a sweet farewell to earth.
-From His Loving 5. ife and Children.

It invites an examination into its work and
testimonials. It guarantees to cure the most
hopeless, if he really desires to be cured.
Its officers and directors are among our best
known citizens, whose names ought to be a
guarantee of our sincerity and reliability.

Buy,
Until you examine the immense stock that D.
P. Myerson has. All new goods. This sea
son's production. No shop worn. Owing to
being compelled to vacate my store on Feb.
1, ’94,1 am compelled to sell my entire stock
of shoes at actual cost, and can assure my
friends and the public that this is not done
with a view of a take in, but a bona fide sale,
and a sale that will long be remembered by
those patronizing me. These goods will be
sold strictly for cash. Do not ask for credit,
for it is unpleasant to refuse; but we must
under the circumstances. Foot wear never
will be offered at my prices again. Thanking
my friends and the public for their patronage
for the past twelve years.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty year*'
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated In a school of optics in New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining It. as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
