TURNER INDORBED.
The Eighth Senatorial District In
dorses Him Strongly.
Thomasyille, Ga., Aug. 30.—Resolutions
indorsing Representative Turner for
senator were unanimously adopted at the
senatorial convention for the Eighth dis
trict, held in Bainbridge yesterday.
"We. tne representatives of the democratic
parlv of the Eighth senatorial district, be
lieving it to be our right and privilege to ex
press the choice of the democracy of this
district for United States senator, hereby
declare that in the candidacy of Hon Henry
G Turner for that high olllce. South Georgia
presents a man whose record for the past
fourteen years in congress shows him to be
a statesman of eminent ability, and a party
leader in every way worthy of the confidence
ot the people His record also demonstrates
that he is thoroughly in accord with the
principles of his party on all great questions
that have come before that body.
We point with especial pride to bis atti
tude as a party leader in the campaigns of
1890 and lsSh in this and the Eleventh con
gressional districts, when the Democratic
party was in imminent danger of being over
whelmed with Ocalaism and so many of our
leaders in other portions of the state, in their
thirst for political promotion, went astray
after false political gods and gave
their indorsement to "the particular
legislation' devised by the politicians of the
farmers’ alliance and known as "tne suo
treasury bill,” the support of which involved
a surrender of democratic principles. Mr.
Turner had the political sagacity to see that
the principles underlying this measure of re
lief, demanded by the said alliance poli
ticians, were alike opposed to the principles
of the party and the true prosperity of the
farmers, and had the courage
to oppose these wild legislative schemes
and radical departures from democratic
principles from every stump in this oongress
tonal district. His told light for principle
saved at least two congressional districts of
Georgia from Ocalaism and populism. There
fore. be it resolved:
1, That the candidate this day nominated
to represent the Eighth senatorial district be,
and he is hereby instructed, to cast his vote in
the general assembly for Hon. Henry G. Tur
ner for the long term in the United States
Senate, beginning March 4, 1895. and that he
co-operate with other friends ot Mr. Turner
in the genera! assembly In the use of all hon
orable means to secure his election.
2. That we request the publication of this
preamble and resolution by the democratic
press throughout Georgia.”
MOKE RAILROAD LITIGATION.
Lawyers No Doubt Will Get Some
Pretty Pickings From This.
Augusta. Ga., Aug. 30.—Messrs. Leon
ard Phinizy, Joseph R. Lamar and Har
wick & Carter, attorneys, to-day filed a
a bill in Washington county superior
court at Sandersville somewhat on the
line of the famous Rowena Clark suit,
which occupies such a prominent place in
the history of the recent Central railroad
litigation. The bill iu equity is brought
in the name of Dr. H. N. Hallifield of
Sandersville, a prominent minority stock
holder in the Wrightsville and Tennille
railroad. It is brought against the
above named railroad, the Central rail
road and receivers. It alleges that the
Central company is the illegal owner of a
majority of stock in the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad, and since 1884 has
elected its officers and dominated its
policy, to the injury of the minority
stockholders; that the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad is run in the interest of
the Central and discriminates against
other roads in the latter's interest. The
bill prays that the Wrightsville and Ten
nille railroad shall be ea oined from
allowing the Central to vote the majority
of stock in the next election, and that a
sale of a majority of the stock shall be
ordered, and the Wrightsville and Ten
nille railroad be in future enjoined from
discriminations in favor of the Central.
ATLANTA SPORTS.
A Fine of S7OO Assessed Against One
of Them in Court.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 30.—Another chap
ter in the fight of the city detectives
against the gamblers occurred in Judge
Westmoreland’s branch of the city court
to-day, when William Brown plead guilty
to gaming and keeping a gaming house,
and was fined s3ou in one case and 1600 in
the other. In the course of the proceed
ings Brown, who is well known about
town, filed a deposition swearing off lrom
cards forever in future. Brown is the
mar who was alleged to have paid money
to city detectives for their protection, lie
denied this, however, in open court. He is
also said to have been in league with the
detectives when a number of well known
men were arrested in his room a lew
weeks ago. It was asserted that Brown
had Invited them there and then turned
the detectives loose on them. He also
denied this in hiS deposition and the
S7OO fine appears to corroborate his denial.
Swearing off from cards appears to be
the proper caper among those convicted
in Judge Westmoreland’s court. Brown
is the third in the last week. A swear
off insures clemency, the judge says.
TOBACCO MEN WILL MEET.

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.
Democrats Watch the Maneuvers
From Elevated Stations
Atlanta. Ga.. Aug 30.—The action taken
; by the republican state convention in re
fusing to put out a ticket akd commending
the populist party. In**' been widely dis
cussed in political ffrcles to-day. During
the proceed in <j/nf the convention there
were a number of prominent democratic
leaders inyrne gallery watching all the
maneuvtfrs on the floor below.
While the populist party was not
named in the resolutions nor was Judge
Hines or Tom Watson singled out, the
whole tenure of the proceedings showed
a strong leaning toward the scheme
of coalition which was being engineered
bv the republican leaders The written
record of the convention is a crafty, but
at the same time unmistakable indorse
ment of the populists and a plain recorn
ommendation to the republicans of the
stale to side with that party in the ap
proaching election.
The democratic leaders who witnessed
the convention from the gallery were im
pressed with the adroitness with which
the fusion scheme was managed.
Your correspondent has it irom no less
a source than the office of Tom Watson's
paper that the convention did precisely
as the popblists wanted it to do: that is,
the fusion scheme was carried out
as per programme agreed upon. From
this same source it conies that the |>opu
lists would not have had the convention
give a specific indorsement of Hines and
his state ticket. This would have tended
to rally the democratic forces more sol
idly against them on account of the open
compact between them and the negro
voters. What the populists bargained
with the republicans for was the defeat
of the purpose for which the
convention wtfs called which was
specifically stated in the call of
the executive committee “to nominate
candidates for governor and state house
officers.” After this was accomplished
the populists wanted the democratic
party divided in a way that would excite
the natural negro prejudice to an unusual
pitch. That this was done, the speeches
made and the resolutions on lawlessness
and lynchings are ample evidence. Then
when the proposition to put out a state
ticket had been defeated, and tho demo
cratic party denounced sufficiently, with
incidental condemnation of any republi
can who should take the stump for the
democrats the populist party was lauded
to the skies. A resolution condemning
republicans for helping the populists was
defeated. The whole scheme is embodied
in the resolution sent in by the commit
tee and adopted as part of its report.
“That we congratulate ourselves that a
party in Georgia has declared in favor of
a free ballot and a fair count, and that
the republicans of the state will view
with suspicion any and all republicans
who shall canvass, vote for or in any
other way aid the democratic nominees
in the October election.” On account of
the report of the convention published
this morning there has been some con
fusion over tho result. This report claims
that the republicans could not deliver the
goods, although nobody could fail to see
that there was a trade in progress.
Whether the goods were delivered or not
the populists are serene, and say they
had things their own way. The repub
licans have no candidates to vote for, but
the populist party is commended to them
as the only hope of relief, while the name
of democrat was mentioned as a stench in
their nostrils.
Pit. FBLTON’3 CARD.
Dr. W. H. Felton to-day published a
card denying the report that he had re
tired from the congressional race in the
Seventh district as the populist candi
date. He says he intends to stay in until
the last ballot is counted despite the pre
carious condition of his health.
A GREAT CORN CROP.
A Sad Accident at St. Joseph's
Orphanage.
Washington, Ga., Aug. 30.—The death
of Miss Lalla Jordan, which occurred
here Saturday, was a very sad event. She
had held the position of teacher of art in
the Lutheran Seminary at Staunton. Va.,
for the past two years.
Avery sad accident occurred at St.
Joseph's Orphanage last Monday. A
young boy, about 15 years of age, named
Broderick, an inmate of the orphanage,
had climed to the roof of the second story
veranda after some pigeons which were
nesting there, when he lost his footing
and fell to the ground. He was fatally
hurt and died in a few hours.
The populists announce that Judge
Hines will speak in this place Sept. 12.
Hon. F. H. Colley has been appointed
b.v Gov. Northen a representative to the
irrigation congress, which meets in Den
ver, Col., next week.
Such crops of corn as will be made by
the farmers in this section have never
been known before.
Kev. J. S. Jenkins of Los Angeles, Cal.,
has been sent by the conference to till out
the year in place of Kev. W. W. Wads
worth, who has gone on a touraround the
world.
TOO MUCH RAIN FOR COTTON.
An Attampt of a Number of Prisoners
to Escape.
Douglas, Ga., Aug. 30.—Late Tuesday
evening Jailer Joe Daughtry espied pris
oners passing the windows in the recep
tion vestibule of the jail. Examination
showed that the three Harris boys and
Davis, all white, awaiting trial under a
charge of assault with intent to murder,
had scratched through tiie concrete floor
ing of their cells and under the partition
wall. It was their ostensible purpose to
overpower Daughtry when he carried
their supper and escape. When ordered
upstairs into the steel cages they very re
luctantly obeyed.
The populists are quietly making ar
rangements to get Judge Hines to address
them at an early day.
A close canvass with the most prom
inent farmers in this locality shows that
the opinion prevails that there will be
only a half crop of sea island cotton.
Rains yet fall almost daily. This lias
caused the bottom crop to rot and the top
crop to throw off its fruit.
AN EVEN THING.
Corker Withdraws His Contest for
the Justice’s Office.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug, 80.—Counsel for
A. W. Corker to-day withdrew the con
test being made on the recent election for
justice, allowing Radford T. Hitch, the
successful candidate, to receive bis com
mission, and later Corker wired Gov.
Northen of such action. The ballot box
was opened this morning, and search for
illegal votes commenced, promising at ono
time to cause considerable tedlousnedk
and trouble, but in withdrawing the ease
counsel for Corker stated that
while they believed they could prove
many Illegal votes for Hitch, they were
satisfied Hitch’s counsel could prove as
many illegal votes for Corker, [and they
would drop it.
DISASTROUS FIRE.
Incendiaries Burn Valuable Farm
Products Near Albany.
Albany, Ga., Aug. 80. -The stock
ade of II H. Nelms, an extensive
farmer, living in the western por
tion of the county, was consumed by fire
at 11 o'clock last night along with its
contents, which consisted of 1,300 bushels
of oats, 3CO bushels of corn and other
farm products and utensils The fire
burned rapidly, aud mules and horses con
fined in the stockade were saved with
difficulty. The fire was undoubtedly of
incendiary origin.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1894.
A BIG PARADE.
The Turnout on Labor Day Will Bea
, Monster One.
New Bedford. Mass.. Aug. 30.—As a re
sult of the fact that about 7,000 workers
in this city are out of employment, the
Labor day parade of next Monday will be
one of the greatest demonstrations ever
seen in the city, if not in Massachusetts.
Every labor union in New Bedford will
participate. The feature of particular
novelty will be the turnout of women,
members of the Weavers' and Card Room
unions, and if the weather is good they
will come out strong. There is no change
in the strike situation in this city.
WILL XOT START SOON.
New Bedford. Mass., Aug 30.—1 t was
stated by a well known mill man this
afternoon that not a mill in New Bedford
would start up next week as has been
currently reported. He said that he con
sidered it doubtful if the mills started up
inside of a ii4>nth. and thought it defi
nitely settled that no move in the direc
tion of opening the mills would be made
inside of two or three weeks at the ipost.
A most determined step has been taken
by the Card and Picker Room Associa
tion. It seems by the starting up of the
Howland, liotch, New Bedford Manufac
turing Company, Columbia and Bennett
mills, that about one-third of the union
members are now working. To help
their fellow members who are out
on strike, the majority of those
working have pledged part of
their earnings weekly to assist in
carrying on the strike. Thus, indirectly
the managers of the mills that are run
ning are aiding the strikers. The weav
ers held a mass meetiag in City hall this
afternoon and voted it was the sense of
the meeting that not a weaver should go
to work under the reduction or until the
mill managers agree to give particulars.
RUNNING ON REDUCED TIME.
Danielsonville, Conn., Aug. 30.—Mills
at Waurgan, Danielsonville, Williams
ville, Attavvauga and other small places
on the Quinebaug and Five Mile rivers
are running from 20 to 50 hours per week
on account of law water. Rivers are. the
lowest for over ten years. Unless rain
falls soon some of the mills may be forced
to stop entirely.
TENTH TEXAS DISTRICT.
Republicans and Populists Nominate
Separate Candidates.
Galveston, Tex., Aug. 30.—Yesterday
at Columbus the populists of the Tenth
congressional district nominated Gen. J.
C. Mcßride for congress. To-day the
republicans of the Tenth district assem
bled at Dallas and nominated Hon. A. J.
Rosenthal as their candidate for con
gress.
Following is the state ticket nominated
by the republicans: Governor, VV. A. Mc-
Kenson; lieutenant governor. R. Renfro;
treasurer, J. G. Low ; attorney general, J.
A. Hurley; land commissioner, Ed Ander
son ; controller, G. A. Tomlinson; super
intendent of education, A. H. Calwell;
chief justice of the supreme court, J. M.
McCormick; associate, C. H. Morris; as
sociate. C. O. Harris; chief justice cir
cuit criminal appeals, W. K. Homan; as
sociates, Henry Terrell and C. G. White.
The platform favors the extreme re
publican idea of protection. It says: “We
denounce the attitude of tho democratic
congress in legislating against the indus
trial interests of the country. We de
nounce their fiagraut discrimination
against agricultural and pastoral growth
everywhere, while fostering combinations
and trusts of aggregated capital, creating
and maintaining monopolies at the ex
pense of every consumer and to the injury
of the entire country.” It then proceeds
to condemn everything democratic, down
to Cleveland's letter to Catchings.
SOLID DEMOCRACY.
Bulloch’s Barbecue, Basket Dinner
and Great Rally.
Statesboro, Ga., Aug. 30.—T0-day has
been a red letter day for the democracy
of Bulloch county. About 2,000 people
gathered at the Lock Hunt precinct near
Foy’s mill to hear Hon. T. S. Morgan, Jr.,
Hon. N. P. Wade and Col. J. A. Brannen
discuss the political issues of the day.
The turnout was at least three times as
large as the more enthusiastic democrats
had expected aud shows that the people
of Bulloch county are almost solid ouce
more in the democratic ranks. The most
conservative men estimate this county
will go democratic this time by a good
majority. There was a iarge barbecue
and basket dinner spread and the people,
both white and colored, feasted to their
hearts’content. Quite a number of our
populist friends were out and seemed to
enjoy themselves hugely.
ALACHUA’S PRIMARY.
List of the Legislative aud County
Tickets Chosen.
Gainesville, Fla.. Aug. 30.—The returns
from the primary election for county offi
cers are all in except Trenton. The fol
lowing are no doubt elected: For senator,
W. R. Thomas; representatives, C. H.
McCreary and D. C. Mclntosh; prosecut
ing attorney, C. L. Filder; tax collector,
H. C. Cato; for assessor. J. D.
Bell. The vote for county trea
surer is so close that it will take the
missing precinct to decide between J. A.
Shannon and R. B. Peeler. Shannon,
without the Trenton vote, stands 30
ahead of Peeler.
BUFFALO ELKS-
Lodge 23 Votes to Ally Itself With
Atlantic City Elks.
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 30.—Buffalo
Lodge No. 23, B. P. O. Elks, met last
night, and after three hours of an excit
ing session voted to ally itself with the
Atlantic City faction. Inasmuch as tho
exalted ruler of the Buffalo Lodge, Harry
Robe, is a grand trustee of the faction
which met at Jamestown, the action of
the loeal Elks is significant. The statement
that 53 lodges w ith a total membership
of 7.000 had declared in favor of the At
lantic City contingent, had considerable
inliuenee on the final decision. It is ex
pected that the action of the Buffalo
lodge will have the effect of settling the
present controversy between the two
factions, though some of the members
think the split will continue, and that
there will be two separate orders of Elks.
FOR RELIEF OF PULLMAN.
The American Railway Union Seeks
to Control the Distribution.
Chicago, Aug. 30. —There is trouble at
Pullman among those who have been as
sisted in the work of distributing supplies

Ducat held the lead until the stretch was

A Street Car Funeral.
From the Washington Post.
"Did you ever soe a street car funeral?”
asked Mr. John G. Williams of San
Diego, Cal., of Landlord Gibbs, at the
Wormley, yesterday. "The first one
that came under my observation was in
San Francisco. I stopped there a few
days on my way east, and had my atten
tion attracted to a train of electric
street cars, the first one of which closely
resembled a hearse. Sure enough, there
was a coffin on the car alongside the ino
torrnan, and on the trailer ears were the
mourners. The hearse car is named
the ‘Cypress Lawn.’ It is about thirty
feet in length and is richly upholstered.
A small compartment on the same car is
heavily draped and has seats enough to
carry the nearest relatives of the late de
ceased and presumably the preacher who
is to officiate at the burial.
“As San Francisco has an extensive
system of electric railways, the funeral
car can be used throughout the city,
being transferred from line to line until
it gets to the one that leads directly to
the cemetery where the burial is to take
place. 1 shouldn't wonder if the idea-was
to bo adopted in other cities soon, and
thus supersede to some extent the use of
hearses and carriages for funerals.
"The particular car of vvhick I speak
must have cost iu the neighborhood of
$2,000, and as it can only be used for fune
ral trips, will last almost a lifetime. It
struck me as being quite a bit of enter
prise for tbe San Francisco Electric Rail
way Company, which had it built, and
must be the means of considerable saving
to the mourning relatives, as by this
means of transportation they are not re
quired to make a big outlay for carriages
when they come to bury their dead.”

City of Savannah, Mayor's Office I
Savannah, Ga.. Aug. 29.1894. (
Whereas, By an act of the General Assem
bly of Georgia, approved December 15th. 1893,
the first Monday in September of each and
every year is set apart as a legal holiday, to
be known as "Tabor Day;” and.
W hereas, Nothing is said in said act con
cerning the duty of banks as regards the pre

protesting and giving notice of the dishonor
of bills of exchange, bank checks and prom

W hereas. Grave doubts exist as to the
legality of said act; but.
Whereas, It is the manifest policy of this

Whereas, It is meet and proper that all
persons in every calling and business should
have an opportunity of celebrating said day
in some fit and proper manner; and.
Whereas. The people of this city and com
