Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 3.—The state elec
tion occurred in Georgia to-day, the state
Toting for governor and state house offi
cers and a full legislature, which is to
electa senator in November. Two years
ego the state went democratic for gov
ernor by 71,000 majority for W. J. Northen
over W. L. Peek, the populist
nominee. W. Y. Atkinson is the
democratic candidate for governor
this year, and J. IC. Hines the populist
nominee. The election has been closely
entested for the last two months, and the
indications are that the state has polled
an unusually full vote, larger than two
years ago.
There are 187 counties in Georgia, and
returns are coming in slowly, but there
seems to be no doubt that Atkinson's ma
jority for governor will be 30,000. The
populists have made considerable gains in
the legislature, but not enough to iu any
wise affect the democratic control of
either the Senate or the House.
Later reports from all over Georgia
show that the populists have made gains
in almost every county in the state, and
that the democratic majority will proba
bly not be more than 30,000. The indica
tions are that the populists will have
thirty or forty members In the next legis
lature.
Complete returns will not be in before
daylight, but it is estimated that Atkin
son s majority will be about 30,000. The
populists claim that the official reports
will reduce the democratic majority to
-".ooo. while Chairman Olay of the state
democratic executive committee claims
the democratic ma.ority will reach 35,00,).
Atkinson, dem., for governor, ran be
hind his ticket. Many old soldiers either
scratched Atkinson or voted for Hines,
the populist.
Fulton county, outside of Atlanta, went
for the populist ticket. The democratic
ticket elected is as folllows:
Governor -William Y. Atkinson.
Secretary of State—Allen D. Candler.

ATLANTA’S CITY ELECTION.
Hugh Inman and O. S. Northen Beaten
In Their Race for tho Council.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. B.—More interest
was manifested to-day in the fight over
the municipal officers than in the state
election. Forty candidates were voted
for, and on that account it will take until
to-morrow morning to decide the contest.
It looks, however, as if the Atkinson
ticket is defeated by candidates who re
fused to submit t.o the committee nomi
nations. It also looks as if there would
be a general shaking up in the city hall,
men who have served tho city for years
being turned out.
Hugh Inman is probably defeated for
the council by G. V. Gress. and C. S.
Northen is beaten for alderman by M. /L.
Tolbert.
Porter King for mayor had no opposi
tion.
There was a great deal of trading by

ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
The Cabinets of the Two Countries to
Hold Simultaneous Meetings.
Paris, Oct. 3.—The French cabinet has
been summoned to meet concurrently
with the British ministerial council to
morrow. It is stated that there are fresh
developments in regard to the situation
in Siam, aud it is believed that these, as
well as affairs in Madagascar, will no
considered at tho cabinet meeting to be
held to-morrow.
The Figaro referring to affairs In Mada
gascar, says the Hovas alone opposed the
control of tho island by the French.
The Matin says tho relations between
France and Great Britain were never
more tranquil than they are at tho
present time, and that no dispute between
the two governments over Madagascar is
possible.
I.e Journal says that unless the Hovas
fully and entirely satisfy the demands
made upon them by M. Lernyre De Vilers,
the siieeial French envoy to Madagascar,
his government will adopt vigorous meas
ures to enforce its claims.
The statement which comes from Port
Ix>uis, Mauritus, thatta blockade of the
ports of Madagascar has bceu proclaimed j
is denied at the foreign office.
The minister of foreign affairs, M.
fionotaux, denies that the blockade of
the island of Madagascar has been pro
claimed by France. The minister of ma
rine, M. !• elix Kaure, declares that be
fore such a step could be taken the
European powers would have to be in- i
formed of tbe intention of France to do
so.
A detachment of troops will shortly
leave France for Siam.
FRANCE FNOCLAIMH A BLOCKADE.
Anantarivo, Madagascar. Oct. I.—A
blockade of the ports of the island of
Madagascar has been proclaimed by
Franco.
'1 lie resident general has gone to Tama
tave. He has been instructed to tako
measures to protect the (olonlsts in the
event of war.
A LONDON COMMENT.
London, Oct. B.—The Pall-Mall Ga
zette commenting upon the fact that the
meetings of the British aud French cabi- {
nett is called for the same date, says a
mutual proposul has been made for a set
tlement of the numerous differences ex
isting between the two nations that re
quire Immediate consideration
The Globe assigns as causes for the call
ing of the concurrent councils, affulrs
in Madagascar and the standing griev
ance of Great Britain in regard to Egypt.
The Westminster Gazette says accord
ing to tho Salisbury treaty of 1890 the
h rench have a right to a protectorate
oyer .Madagascar, but a protectorate is
different from a complete effective occu
pation.
FRANCE’S ALLEGED PROTESTS.
The Central News adheres to its asser
tion that the summoning of the cabinet
council is due to the fact that France has
made representations to the British gov
ernment concerning England’s alleged
responsibility for the attitude of the
llova government in continuing their
strenuous opposition to the treat}' rights of
France in Madagascar. It is also claimed
that H ranee has protested against the
shipment of munitions of war from
England to Madagascar and the enroll
ment o f British subjects in the military
service of the Hovas it is known that an
ex-cavalry officer in the British army has
gone out to Madagascar to act as com
mander in-chief of tho Hova forces, he
having taken part in the Hova campaign
against the French in Madagascar in
1885. Another British officer has en
gaged to serve as adjutant general in the
Hova army, and hundreds of settlers in
South Africa, of all nationalities, aro pre
pared to join the Hovas in the event of
war. they having been offered flvo shill
ings a day and a (dot of land if the Hovas
aro successful.
The Hova army consists of two divisions
of infantry well armed and drilled, and
the Hova authorities claim that they will
be able before Jan. 1 to take the field with
100,000 men.
Later advices say there is no founda
tion for the report that the Madagascar
ports have been blockaded.
Foreign diplomats regard the situation
as hopeful and believe the difficulties will
be settled amicably between England aud
Eram e.
Advices from Port Louis, Mauritus, an
nounces that a blockade of the ports of
Madagascar' has been proclaimed. The
French resident has gone to Tainatave.
He lias received instructions to protect
the French inhabitants in the event of
hostilities occurring.
NO CAUSE FOR PUBLIC ALARM.
Tho Globe expresses the belief that the
hurried calling of the council is due to
disputes with Franco, saying: “Wo be
lieve there is no cause for public alarm.
But we canuot surrender any purt of
England’s rights or shirk any part of her
duties. Our straiued relations with
France aro not a matter of a day’s
growth, nor connected entirely with Mad
agascar. We have points of contact
with tho French throughout the world,
and each is capable of having fostered ir
ritation which may easily become strife.
It is certain that the tame way iu which
we have allowed ourselves to be out
witted in the far east during last year,
and the manner in which we have stood
by while France partitioned our herit
age in Slam, have done much to per
suade the more ignorant of potheaded
Frenchmen that England is not so very
terrible after all.
“To-day’s news of the blockade of the
island of Madagascar sets at rest all
doubts as to the immediate business of to
morrow’s cabinet council. The ministers
have decided upon a resolute course of
action, and the public will await with
anxiety the nows of their decision. We
want no panic and no war fever,
but wo need the assurance that
our interests will bo properly safe
guarded and our allies protected. The
French will find that wo shall have a
word to say about the Madagascar ques
tion before it is settled and 1-ord Rose
bery may rely upon tho unionists to sup
port him loyally and heurtfiy in the in
terests of the empire.”
The Pall Mali < lazette refers to the ar
ticle priutod to-day in the I’olitlque Golo
niale of Paris, which rollei-ts tho views
of the minister of tho colonies. M. Dol
casse. and which gives, exclusive of the
question of Egypt and Madagascar, a list
of eleven outstanding difficulties between
France and England, connected with fron
tierand similar disputes in various African
colonies. Tho Politique Coloniale, how
ever, says that many of these have prac
tically been settled, and that none of them
would justify a rupture unless one country
was bent upon picking a quarrel with the
other, which the paper say* is not tho
case. The i’all Mall Gazette,
inspite of this, says that the
article is unfriendly to tho vergo
of discourtesy, it says: “And if it
reflects the spirit in which the French
ministers intend to discuss tho difficulties
with England, we may prepare for
troublesome times. We do not wish to
quarrel with France, but, on tho other
hand, we aro indisposed to permit tres
passing upon our unquestioned rights.
The bullying spirit which tells
Frenchmen that they have only to brag
and bluff enough to force England
to surrender may easily lead to trouble.
The Daily Chronicle says that war be
tween France and Engiand must be re
garded as inconceivable madness. It
may be madness, but it Is not inconceiva
ble.
France must be told courteously, but
firmly, that we have not the slightest de
sire to attack or to provoke her, but that
if attacked we shall defend ourselves to
tho last extremity.
The liberal organ, the Westminster
Gazette, handles the subjoct very ten
derly, and is anxious not to excite publlo
opinion, and thereby embarrass the gov
ernment.
A TRAGEDY AT WARTHEN.
One Populist Rilled and Another
Wounded by a Negro.
Tennllle, Ga., Oct. 8. Washington
county's demoer its exult 'to-night over>a
great victory in the election of Rawlings
and Brown. The majority is small, but
it is conceded by populists and democrats
alike. The election culminated in a
tragedy at the little town of Warthen in
the killing of Mike Whito and tbe serious
wounding of Bogue Alford, both white
populists, by Ant Burry, a colored demo
crat. Linton Baron, a populist, raised a
row with Burry, who re 1 rested, followed
by White and Alford. Finally both white
men fired on Burry, who returned the
fire with tne result above set forth.
Public sentiment favors tho nejro, who
is conceded to have been justified even by
prominent populists.

A Lively Fight Over the Alabama
Great Southern.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Daytos
Poople Try to Secure Control of the
Board of Directors—Their Little
Game Headsd Off by an Injunction.
A Possibility That the Road May Ba
come Part of the Southern Railway.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 3.-Tliis morn
ing in the company's office here, a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad Company was
held The meeting was very brief, not
lasting over thirty minutes.
There were moves made that may re
sult iu the Southern railway's securing
control of tho Queen and Crescent, al
though whoever puts up the most green
goods will carry off tho prize.
Among those present at the meeting
were . S. M. Felton, C. C-. Harvey, John
Greenough and others. The following
attorneys were also present: ildhry Craw
ford of New York, A. I’. Humphries of
Ig)tilsvillc and James Weatherly of this
city, representing Greenough and the old
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia in
terests, and W. M. Ramsey, general coun
sel for tho Cinciunati, Hamilton and Day
ton.
When the meeting was called to order,
a vote was cast for aboard of directors.
Here a split came, and one that is likely
to bring about some changes. The Green
ough faction voted for the re-election of
the old board of directors, while the
other faction voted for anew one. The
opposition wanted a board in which a
majority of the members were Cinciunati,
Hamilton and Dayton people.
AN INJUNCTION SERVED.
While a little squabbling was going on
a bomb went off that blasted tho move
ments of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton faction. The bomb was in the
shape of an* injunction Issued by Judge
Bruce and served by United States Dep
uty Marshal L. B. Musgrove. The in
junction was served ou the inspectors of
the election, W. M. Ramsey and J. How
ard Taylor, restraining them from
casting any illegal votes, such be
ing offered for Alfred Sully,
Gen. Zimmerman, M. D. Woodford.
Henry F. Shoemaker. H. A. Taylor and
J. ii. Taylor as directors, us none of them
were stockholders in the Alabama Great
Southern Company. The laws of the
state require that a person must first he
a stockholder before he is eligible to elec
tion as a member of the directory.
The inspectors agreed to oboy the in
junction, when the meetingjadjournedstne
die.
This made tho old board hold over,
which is H. D. Brown, Frauds Ravy, A.
B. Abraham. D. W. Medley, Ed [>auter
bach, G. S. Brice, John <lreenougb, C. C.
Harvey anil S. M. Felton, Hvo English
men and six Americans.
'1 he move of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton people was to dropout some
of tbe Greenough and Brice faction and
put in some of their own people, some of
whom are said not to be shareholders in
the Alabama Great Southern Company.

Louisville, Ky., Oct. 3.—The forty
third annual meeting of the stockholders
of tho Louisville and Nashville railroad
was held at the company’s offices in this
city to-day. The only business on hand
was tho election of directors and hearing
the president’s annual address. But one
change was made in the directors. Milton
H. Smith resigned and Albert Fink of
this city was elected to succeed him. Mr.
Fink is a prominent railroad man, and
several years ago was chairman of tho
trunk line railroad association of
New York. but since returning
from this position has not been
engaged in the railroad business.
Mr. Smith’s resignation from the di
rectory will not affect his position as pres
ident of the road.

THB CHARLESTON RAILWAY PEAL.
The report says that in order to secure
a line extending south and east of Au
gusta, made necessary by the acquisition
of tho Georgia Central b.v the Richmond
Terminal, sovcral of the larger stock
holders formed a syndicate and bough*
the controlling interest of the Junior se
curities of the South Carolina
railroad, which were delivered
to the Louisvile and Nash
ville at cost. Litigation intervened
and a sale of the property clcarof all Mens
was ordered. The creation of anew cor
poration with fixed charges of $400,000 per
annum was contemplated. The panic in
tervened; the business of the South
Carolina railroad fell far below expected
figures, and the management did not view
concluding the purchase of the propeAy
upon an interest charge of over *300,000
per annum as safe.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE BONDHOLDEHS.
Negotiations with tho first mortgage
bondholders were entered into prior to
the sale of theroad under foreclosure, but
their demauds were too high, involving a
capitalization of several million dollara
over and above the sum of *1,247,140 al
ready invested by the Ixiuisville and
Nashville Railroad Company. After the
rejection of a final offer made
to the first mortgage bondhold
ers' committee In March, 1894, tho
negotiations were thereupon abandoned,
in the purchase of the South
Carolina railway securities tbe company
acquired the majority interest in the New
York and Charleston Warehouse and
Steam Navigating Company aud now
owns *241, 881 of bonds out of a total of
*297.600. This is considered a valuable
property. Thu company has the right
after Nov. 1. 1*94, on giving six months
notice, to pay off $4,631,000 of 10-40 ad
justment bouds <*531,000 of which are la

This right it is proposed to exercise as
soon as the general business situation will
admit of satisfactory negotiations, where
upon over *9,000,000 of securities wUI bo
set free for tbe uaeof the company.
