2 LAWMAKERS OF THE STATE. Two Bills of Interest to the Local Pol iticians Passed. One Transfer* the Old Registration Lists to the Ordinary's Office and the Other Is the Osborne Substitute for the Rockwell Bill—The Brannan Oar* cishment Bill to Be Reported Favor ably—A Fight Over the Atlanta Expo sition Appropriation. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29—The Senate ob served Thanksgiving day by taking a day off, but the House met as usual and for two hours worked industriously on com mittee reports and local bills. At noon, however, the members began to feel as if they were doing something they did not have to do and when a motion to adjourn was made, it was quickly adopted. It was expected that the committee on privileges and elections would report Its recommendation on the Fayette county case this morning, it having been agreed last night to unseat Mr. Cook, the popu list. in favor of A. O. Blalock, the demo cratic contestant. For some reason, how ever, the committee held back its report, but sent in a recommendation for the dis missal of the Jackson county contest, for the want of prosecution and declaring the pitting members, Messrs. Bennett and Sells, populists, regularly elected. The House accepted the report. Mr. Blalock of Fayette will probably bo seated to-mor row. For the second time the general Judiciary committee to-day reported the constitu tionality of the proposed appropriation of $25,000 for state exhibit at the Atlanta ex position next year, the exhibit to be under the direction of the agricultural depart ment. A minority report signed by eleven members headed by Mr. Fouche of Floyd was submitted to-day, however, declaring the proposed appropriation unconstitu tional. This will bring on a fight over it in the House. With the prevailing spirit of economy that has so far characterized the House, the exposition appropriation will not have a very smooth road to travel. Tomorrow the general registration bill reported by the special committee to pre pare It will be the special order In the House. Mr. Brannan of Fulton has pre pared a substitute for the committee bill which he will present. It has the same end in view, but it is claimed that it great ly simplifies the method of registration and voting. To-day the committee on labor agreed to report the Brannan bill relating to the garnishment of daily wages of laborers and mechanics favorably with slight amendment. If the bill becomes a law there will be a great change in the commercial standing of laborers and mechanics. Fnder it 50 per cent, of all over $25 per month earned is subject to garnishment. The present law totally exempts dally wages. The House passed the bill transferring Dawson county from Judge Gober’s cir cuit, the Blue Ridge, to the northeastern. The bill to provide for a sinking fund of SIOO,OOO each year was also passed. Mr. Greer’s bill authorizing judges of county courts to preside in other counties was passed, and also the bill to create a state memorial board to look after the historic places and things of the state. Mr. Doolan’s bill for the transfer of the old registration books from the office of the county commissioners to the ordi nary’s office was passed; also Senator Os borne’s substitute for the Rockwell bill fixing the time of electing city officers by the mayo-r and aldermen of Savannah and providing for the election of anew set of officers in January next. ARSENIC IN THE WELL. Thirteen Persons Poisoned on a Planta tion Near Calhoun. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—Thirteen persons on Bud Turner's plantation, near Cal houn. were poisoned to-day. All of the Turner family are desperately 111 and sev eral of the servants are very sick. The symptoms indicate arsenical poisoning. At first it was thought that fresh hog meat had caused the illness of the family, and an Investigation is being made to dis cover trichinae, but thus far no trace of it has been found. The last report from Calhoun was that arsenic had been thrown in the well, but by whom has not yet been learned. THREE APT TO HANG. Hawkinsville May Be the Scene of a Triple Execution. Hawkinsville, Ga., Nov. 29.—Wash Strong, oolored, who killed another negro, and Frank Carruthers, also colored, who slew his white employer, were to-day sen tenced to hang from the same scaffold on Jan. 11. Will Clements, who murdered his mis tress, is also to be tried at the present term of the court, and in case of his con viction, which is almost certain, there will be a triple execution. JUSTICE JACKSON BETTER. Hit Outing Near Thomasville Doing Him a Great Deal of Good. Thomasville, ;Ga), Nov. 29.—Notwith standing the reports to the contrary, Jus tice Jackson of the United States su preme court, who is wintering In Thomas ville, is improving. He walks into town, a mile and a half from his suburban home, and looks anything else but like a sick man. He bagged a number of quail out on the old-time plantation of Mrs. Mitch ell Jones to-day, and suffered no fa tigue from his outing. EX-SENATOR BROWN VERY ILL. The War Governor Suffering From Bright's Disease and Rheumatism. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—Ex-United States Senator Joseph E.

San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 29.—The South ern Pacific passenger train was held up at Elka at 12:30 o,clock this morning. About a half mile east of Elka, two masked men crawled over the tender of the engine on the Southern Pacific road and ordered the engineer to stop the train. The engineer did as ordered. When the train came to a full stop the robbers ordered the engineer and fireman to get out of the cab. Then they ordered the fireman to go back and cut the train behind the express car. The robbers fired several shots. When the fireman went to the express car he only cut loose the hose that ran to the coaches. The robbers boarded the engine and tried to pull out. but could not. They left the engine and no more was seen of them. Blood hounds have been teleg-aphed for and will be here in a few b ,u.u. Officers think they have a clew. SEELY MAY SURRENDER. A Belief That His Lawyer Is Nego tiating With the Bank. New York, Nov. 29.—Samuel A. Seely, the fugitive bookkeeper who assisted in the plundering of the Shoe and Leather Bank of $354,000, is still at large as far as can be learned, but his arrest is a matter of but a few days. The impression is gradually gaining ground that the man is near the city, and that his agents are making terms of surrender with the bank officers, ami that he will surrender him self when these negotiations are com pleted. Rumor lias had It since yesterday that Lawyer Angel has already secured a bondsman for his client in anticipation of Ills surrender, when satisfactory terms are reached with the bunk. Mr. Angel gave an evasive answer when questioned on the subject.

SECRETARY SMITH S REPORT What He Has to Say ol the Affairs of His Department. His Views Relative to Matters Pertain ing to the Indians Work of the Gen eral Land Office—A Few Facts About the Patent Office—lnteresting Matters Relative to the Territories—An Addi tional Building for the Department of the Interior Recommended. Washington, Nov. 29.—The Secretary of the Interior opens his report with the statement that the work of the Indian bureau becomes more inter esting as it is better understood. Its task is that of developing people no longer sav age, but far from civilized, into beings fit for American citizenship and capable of self support. The secretary says: "There are two means chiefily relied upon —education and allotments of land In sev eralty. I do not question the advisability of al lotting land to Indians in severalty, but I do most seriously question the propriety of this course before the Indians have progressed sufficiently to utilize the land when taken. The allotments should be made to the Indians in severalty for the good of the Indians, for the advancement of the Indians, not for the purpose of obtaining land connected with the In dian reservation to satisfy the insatiable desire of border men, w’ho obtain it fre quently, not for homes, but for specula tion.” “I recommend that the general allot ment act be so amended as to insure to any Indian who shall settle upon and improve a particular tract, under the di rection of his agent, the permanent own ership of such tract by giving him a pref erence right to select it when allotments are made.” With reference to contract schools among the Indians the secretary says: "The contract schools are now the sub ject of general discussion. I agree fully wdth those who oppose the use of public money for the support of sectarian schools. But this question should be con sidered practically. The schools have grown up. Money has been invested in their construction at a time when they were recognized as w’ise instrumentali ties for the accomplishment of good. 1 do not think it proper to allow the intense feeling of opposition to sectarian educa tion, which is showing itself all over the land, to induce the department to disre gard existing conditions. We need the schools now r , or else we need a large ap propriation to build schools to take their place. It would scarcely be Just to abolish them entirely—to abandon instantly a pol icy so long recognized. My own sugges tion is that they should be decreased at the rate of not less than 20 per cent, a year.” In respect to the sale of public lands the secretary says: “The public lands disposed of during the year, by cash sales, miscellaneous entries, and selections of all kinds, amounted to 10,377,224.72 acres. In addition to this 28,876.05 acres of Indian lands were disposed of, making an ag gregate of 10,406,100.77 acres. The commis sioner approximates the vacant public lands remaining at 606,040,313.71 acres. This does not Include Alaska (which con tains over 360,000,000 acres), military and other reservations, or railroad and other selections yet unadjudicated, parts of which may in the future, by sale or resto ration, be added to the public domain. The total cash receipts from the dis osal of public lands amounted to $2,674,- 285.79; $91,981.03 were received for Indian lands. Over 35,000 agricultural patents were is sued, granting, approximately, 5,040,800 acres. Mineral, mill site, and coal pat ents were issued to the number of 1,429. About 3,100 patents were issued to the In dians for allotments or selections in sev eralty, covering 101,936.34 acres. Patents of all classes issued during the year cov ered about 7,700,1X10 acres, a decrease from the preceding year of over 2,000,000 acres. The secretary devotes considerable space to pensions. He says: "At the close of the'fiscal year ending June 30, 1894, 1*69,544 pensioners were borne upon the rolls, an Increase of 3,532 pensioners during the year. The pensioners may be classed as fol lows: Soldiers and sailors 753,968 Widows, orphans and other de pendent relatives 215,162 Army nurses 414 Of these 16,610 pensioners are on account of Indian and other wars prior to the late war, and 15,429 widows, orphans, and other dependent relatives. Under the act of June 27. 1890, there are 375,084 pensioners and 94,260 widows and orphans. It is interesting to note that 9 widows and 3 daughters of veterans of the revolu tion constitute the pension roll for that war. Forty-five survivors of the war of 1812 constitute the remnant of that list. The total amount expended for pensions during the past fiscal year was $139,801,- 461 05, leaving a balance from the appro priation in the treasury of $25,205,712 65. The estimate for the fiscal year 1896 made by the commissioner is $140,000,000. The commissioner states that, in his opinion, the year 1895, thirty years after the close of the last war, must in the na ture of things see the highest limit of the pension roll which, therefore., must begin to decrease. The number of pend ing claims In the bureau has decreased over 90,009 during the year. A large num ber of the new claims are for increase by pensioners now on the rolls. The number of certificates Issued was 80,213. The aggregate of persons added to the rolls during the year is 39,085, and the to tal number dropped for all causes, 37,951. The report of the commissioner of pat ents for the year ending June 30 last shows that there were received 35,952 applications for patents; 1.050 applications for designs; 108 applications for reissues; 2,193 caveats; 1,720 applications for trade marks, and 368 applications for labels. There were 22,546 patents granted, including reissues and de signs; and 1,656 trade marks registered. The number of patents which expired was 13.167. The total expenditures were $1,053,- 962 38; the receipts over expenditures were $129,5*10 80, and the total receipts over ex penditures lo the credit of the patent of fice in the treasury of the United States amounted to $4,409,366 74. The secretary thinks that an additional building ought to be provided for the Interior department. He states the case thus: "The Increase In the business assigned to It and the larger number of employes required, has made it necessary to rent buildings from private parties for tha office of Indian affairs, bureau of edu cation, the geological survey, the census otlice. the United States pension agency, the civil service commission, the patent otlice model exhibit, and for the storage of document*. "Though selected with care and Ht as reasonable rents as possible, these build ings, scattered here anil there through out the city, are unfit to he the deposito ries of the valuable archives and papers which they contain. Few, If any of them, are pradically fire-proof, uud it Is prole able that great lose of life would occur in case of fire, aside from the financial and hlslorh ul loss lo the government by the destruction of valuable and Irrvidat e able records." The report deals liberally with a large number of other matters of Important ■ Th. foregoing subjects are the ones, however. In whb li the public Is mainly In terest! DIXIE S NEWS PURVEYORS. The Southern Associated Press Ratifies the New Contract. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 29.—A meeting of the stockholders ol the Southern Asso ciated Press was held here to-day. It drew the largest attendance of members since the organization of the association. The question of a ratification of the memorandum of agreement between the United Fress and the executive commit tee of the Southern Associated Press made in New York on Monday, Nov. 26 was fully considered, and nfter consider able discussion was adopted with only a single dissenting vote. The members very freely discussed the false statement made by the Associated Press of Chicago as printed in the Wash ington Evening Star* of the differences between that association and the South ern Associated Press, and very great in dignation was expressed at the gross mis representations made in that report. A committee of five was appointed to draft a reply to the statement of the Associated Press, which w ill be prepared at once and £iven t the public The association adjourned until to-mor row morning, when it will reconvene for the purpose of formulating a plan for con ducting an aggressive fight and extend ing the service of the Southern Associated Press into the new territory conveyed to it under the new contract with the United Press, covering the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi ana and Texas. A full midday and night service will be offered to the newspapers in the states added by the contract to the territory of the Southern Associated Press. The southern organization is now in position to furnish its clients and mem bers w ith an efficient service covering the United States and foreign countries by reason of its exclusive arrangements and contract relations with the United Press. All of the papers in the south are deter mined to maintain the integrity of their association, every member having re newed his allegiance to the Southern As sociated Press. This alliance with the United Press adds upward of forty newspapers to the list of papers served by the last named organ ization anil deprives the Chicago organi zation of that number of southern papers. The following telegrams were received to-night: New York, Nov. 29.—T0 Capt. Evan P. Howell, President Southern Associated Press, Atlanta, Ga.: Convey my best re spects to your colleagues and the assur ance of my hearty co-operation in every thing that may conduce to the independ ence and stability of the Southern Asso ciated Press. The rebuke you have ad ministered to the dishonest management of the Associated Press is nothing short of an important public service. Charles A. Dana. Philadelphia, Nov. 29.—T0 E. P. Howell, president, anil Hon. Patrick Walsh, gen eral manager, Southern Associated Press, Atlanta, Ga.: The Southern Associated Press will make no mistake in carrying out the contemplated plan of an alliance wdth the United Press, of which the under signed newspapers are affiliated. \V£ are entirely satisfied with the United Press service and with its management, and as sure the Southern Associated Press of an unalterable determination to stand by the United Press. We are satisfied that the United Press is both able and determ ined to maintain itself in the contest with the Western Associated Press, and we are equally determined to support the United Press to the pnd. William M. Sangerly, Philadelphia Rec ord. L. Clarke Davis, Philadelphia Ledger. Barclay H. Warburton, Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 29.—T0 Capt. Evan P. Howell, President of the South ern Associated Press, Atlanta: I am greatly pleased at the action of your com mittee in Ne**' York. It is a matter of constant satislaction to us to be satisfied with the United Pre? . They live up man fully to their contracts and always keep their promises. Every member of our association is enthusiastic in support of the present arrangement, and we stand by the ship with entire confidence in the fut ure. # W. F. Balkam, President Associated Press of the State of New’ York. The Southern and United Press editors were banqueted to-night at the Aragon by the directors of the cotton states and international exposition. CLOSING OF THE REFINERIES. Louisiana Members of Congress Sur prised at the Action. New Orleans, La., Nov. 29.—Senator Blanchard left the city for Washington this evening at 6:30 o’clock. In reference to the closing down of the sugar refiner ies, he said: “This is news to me. I have been so busy that I have not had time to look at the morning papers, but I am sur prised to learn that the refineries have been closed down as you say. I do not feel myself in a position to offer any opin ion. It is a surprise to me.” Congressman Adolph Meyers was very much averse to talking on the subject. He seemed to think it a most serious poli tical question and deserving the most careful consideration before an opinion should be expressed. The representative of the First dis trict, while he would not express an opin ion, thought it would be considered by more than a few members of congress as an attempt to force legislation in behalf of sugar. A COTTON COMPRESS BURNED. Fifteen Hundred Bales of Cotton Go With It. Birmingham. Ala., Nov. 29.—T0-night at 10 o’clock fire destroyed the Birming ham Cotton Compress and about 1,500 bales of cotton. The compress was valued at $27,000, and only $5,000 of insurance was carried. The cotton belonged to Inman & Cos., and was fully insured with a New York syndicate. The Birmingham com press was only put in operation about two weeks ago and was under contract with Inman & Cos. to compress all the cotton they shipped here and for no one else. The compress Is a total loss. The origin of the fire is unknown, though the night watchman says he first saw it in the holler room. When the fire department got there the flames had gained too much head way and could not be controlled. PEABOARD AIK-LINE. E. St. John of the Rock Island Road Elected Vies President.
