Mr Simpson, pop., of Kansas, reply

focuery. as applied to the populist party,
si I that it came with poor grace from
r ti’iblii ans who had persistently played
' demagogue on this subject, and that

ishere they stood.
The point of no quorum was made by !
’dr. Simpson against a bill, called up by 1
Mr. Livingston for the relief of Elsas, May !

It was then l" o’clock and the galleries j

me if before performing

. . on lo what I foe! not only in
I , . ‘ J 1,1,1 resolution which you have
tbe l T n °. f klncll y a ‘i°Pted but in respect to
• norm kindness, courtesy and con
sideration with which I have been treated
by every' member of this body. Persons ’
who are unacquainted with the method*
of precedure here have but little con- j
ception of the trials and troubles and the
difficulties of legislation in so large a
body as this. This is the largest congress
that ever assembled in the I’nited States. |
consisting of 256 members, besides the ;
delegates. These gentleman are represen- i
tative men. They represent all the shades ,
of thought and opinion in all parts of the !
grandest country under the sun. (Ap
plause.) Naturally, and Indeed necessar
ily, under such conditions, at times there
is great strife and contest upon the floor
for the maintenance of the particular
tlews of individuals and earnest efTort
for the consideration of particular meas
ures. The difficulties of the presiding of
ncer arise largely from this, that whereas
there are perhaps 14,000 or 15,000 bills in
t™duoe(l in a congress, in the nature of
things but a small part of them can have
consideration. If all the measures intro
duced could be considered and acted upon
b> the House, then the duties of the pre
siding officer, and of the members, would
be rendered much less difficult; but where
onl\ a small portion of the measures in
troduced can be considered, there is neces
sarily a struggle to determine what those
particular measures shall be. and from
year to year this difficulty increases. The
present occupant of the chair—and he feels
that in making this expression he but
echoes the experience of every one of his
predecessors—had no conception of the
difficulties incident to the office of speaker.
That he has been enabled in any measure
to discharge the duties of this office to
your satisfaction is most largely due to
your kindness, to your consideration, and
to your constant help. We are now about
to go to our respective homes. This is
the third session of this congress. We
have been in session continuously—longer
perhaps, than any congress in the history
of the government. We have been sur
rounded by difficulties and trials, but l
am sure I can say not only for this body
in the aggregate, but for each member
of it. that however, we may have failed,
whatever our short comings may be. we
have, according to our earnest convic
tions. endeavored to do that which was
for the Interests of the w-hole American
people. (Applause.) Again I thank you;
and when 1 say that 1 but feebly express
my feelings. Never In my life, no matter
what may be Its future, could I expect to
attain to so high an office as that which
I owe to your kindness, to your consid
eration. to your partiality. In laying down
that office—the greatest gratification that
could be afforded me is the evidence in
this resolution that I have discharged the
duties of the place in some degree, at
least, to the satisfaction of those gen
tlemen to whom I owe the office, and to
those gentlemen on the other side who
have always extended to me the utmost
courtesy and kindness. And to each and
every member of the House, as he is now'
about to return to his home. I extend
my heartfelt thanks and express the
hope that he may he re-united with his
family and his friends In peace and happi
ness. (Loud and genera’ applause.)
Speaker Crisp announced the appoint
ment of Mr. Culberson of Texas, dem., in
place of Mr. Catchings of Mississippi,
dem., as heretofore announced, and Kir.
Hitt of Illinois, rep., to serve with himself
as delegates to the international mone
tary conference.
The hands of the clock had come to
gether, marking the noon hour, and with
out further ado. the speaker brought his
gavel down on the desk and declared the
House adjourned sine die.
A cheer went up from the floor, but it
died away quickly as a number of cor
respondents in the press gallery sang the
doxology. They w r ere cheered heartily on
concluding, and the immense throng of
people passed out of the chamber, an l the
scenes of the Fifty-third congress were
at an end.
A BLAZE AT MAITLAND. -
The HantlftOine Resilience of William
Willct llurned lo the Ground.
Maitland, Fla., March 3.—The elegant
two-story residence of Mr. William Wil
lett, a wealthy English gentleman, was to
tally destroyed by fire to-day noon,, only
a small part of the household goods being
saved. The fire started on the roof near
a chimney, and being a dry, windy day,
the flames spread rapidly.
The house was situated near the upper
end of Lake Maitland, in the vicinity of
the residence of Rev. Dr. Kedney, of Min
nesota, Mr. Isaac Vanderpool and Dr. A.
W. Kingsley of New Jersey, but the com
bined efforts of these neighbors and the
citizens generally, could not save the build
ing.
The place formerly belonged to Mr. H.
S. Kedney of Orlando, and was one of the
finest in this vicinity. As Mr. Willett lost
over 5,000 boxes of oranges by the late
freeze, aside from the damage to his ex
tensive grove, the destruction of his at
tractive residence gives him a double load,
and a very heavy one, of misfortune to
bear. •
Our annual municipal election took place
yesterday, with the following result:
Mayor, S. Brock Hill; aldermen, J. J.
Heard, W. H. Waterhouse and J. O.
Ralls; clerk, J. L. Pickard; treasurer, E.
Turner; marshal, J. S. Brocksmith. Ow
ing to the late freeze the bonding of the
city for the purpose of claying the streets
and roads will be postponed for a year or
two at least, much to the regret of all in
terested parties.
SLATTERY GOING TO ATLANTA.
Ills Agent Finding Some Diflieiilty
in Securing ti
Atlanta, Ga., March 4.—Ex-Priest Slat
tery. who was the cause of the disturbance
in Savannah, is trying to make arrange
ments to appear in Atlanta on Thursday.
His agent arrived in the city this morn
ing and undertook to procure a hall. He
was refused the Young Men’s Christian
Men’s Christian Association, when asked
but there are a number of halls in the
city/ and he will probably be able to se
cure one. President Bell of the Young
Men’s Christian Association when asked
why it was that the hall was not let to
the ex-priest, replied that the directors
thought it would not be right to let him
lecture there, making an attack on the
Catholic church, \thile*the association had
a number of sustaining members who be
longed to that church. He thought again
that while there might be no danger in
allowing him to speak, there might be
trouble, and the association did not care
to risk its property in such a cause.

A HILL STOLEN l\ A SENATE.
Cireumatfintlnl Evidence Against a
Senator Very Strong.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 4.—The Senate
enrolling force was thrown into great
excitement this afternoon by the discov
ery that the enrolled bill prohibiting win
ter racing, aimed at Roby track, had been
stolen. The file clerk had just receipted
for it and turned around, and when
reaching for it he discovered that there
was nothing left but a cover.
Senator Seller of Montgomery county,
who obtained a cover this afternoon from
the enrolling room, denied to-night that
he had any hand in the abstraction of
the Roby bill. He said that he merely
wanted some of the stiff covers for mail
ing wrappers, but Sellers was seen in the
room several times and was noticed fol
lowing the young woman who delivered the
bill to the filing clerk with the cover in
his hand. Gov. Matthews said to-night
thut he saw' the wrapper in Seller’s hands.
The attorney for the Roby lobby Is
John C. Brush. Clerk Egnew of the
House says he was offered SSOO to do
away w r ith the bill. He reported the mat
ter at once to Principal Clerk Brown,
who literally slept witii the bill until it
was passed and delivered to the Senate.
A WOMAN SHOT DEAD.
Throe Men flatter Down Her Door

Thamasville, Ga., March 4.—Saturday
night at 10 o’clock, at Ochlocknee, in this
county, three men visited the house of
Laura and Mary Fair, two young women
of doubtful character, and demanded ad
mittance. The women replied that they
had gone to bed, and would not get up.
The men began to batter down the door.
Laura Farr seized her pistol and emptied
it into the door. Three balls passed
through the door, which was finally torn
down. Laura was seated on the bed re
loading her weapon when one of the men
emptied a shotgun into her side, making a
fearful Vound, two inches across and
killing her instantly. The sister screamed
for help, when the men silenced here by
theatening to shoot her. They then left.
On the charge of the surviving sister,
Pope McCloskey and Belton Jones, two
young men, have been arrested and lodged
in Jail. The coroner’s jury rendered a
verdict of death at the hands of Pope
McCloskey, Belton Jones and another par
ty, name unknown, as accessory. All con
cerned are white.
STATEHOOD FOB I TAH.
The Convention lo Frame a Consti
tution Opens.
Salt Lake. Utah. March 4.—The conven
tion to frame a constitution for the state
of Utah, to be submitted to the voters next
November, met In this city at noon to-day.
It is composed of 102 members, fifty-seven
republicans and forty-five democrats.
Three democrats and two republicans
have not yet obtained certificates, owing
to legal complications. A party spirit
broke out at the very beginning. Charles
Crane, chairman of the republican terri
torial committee, mounted the stand to
call the convention to order, while the
democrats insisted that that duty should
be performed by the oldest member pres
ent. As the statute was silent on the
I>oint. Mr. Crane was finally allowed to
call the convention to order by a strict
party vote.
Hon. George Q. Cannon, by invitation,
opened the proceedings by prayer, and a
temporary organization was effected. The
principal subjects of interest promise to be
the prohibition question and woman's
suffrage. Both party platforms are com
mftted to the latter, but are silent on the
•foVmer.

Atlanta. Ga., March 4.-r-The city council
to-day elected Capt. W. H. Brotherton
police commissioner. Capt. Brotherton’s
election is regarded as an indication of a
general shaking up in the police depart
ment on April 1, when the bi-ennlal elec

has held the office fourteen years, it is
reported will suffer, along with many
other officers.
\ n OiBI Fellow Ruled Out.
Columbus, Ga., March 4.—The trial of
Col. Harris, one of the negroes implicated
in the Jarrelt murder, was commenced
In the superior court this morning. The
day was spent in getting a Jury. Th* only
interesting feature was the objection to
a juror by the defense on the ground that
he was an Odd Fellow, to which order the
deceased belonged. The objection was
sustained.
GEORGIA'S CONGRESSMEN.
Ilnrtl Work for the Slnt* Hone l>
Earli Member of the llele^ntlou.
Washington, March 4.—A1l of the mem
bers of the Georgia delegation in congress
are glad congress has adjourned, and they
will immediately leave for their respect
ive homes.
Representative proposes to start
homeward to-morrow, and several of his
colleagues will accompany him on the
same train.
Next to Speaker Crisp. Representative
Turner comes out of the recent congress
with greater national honors than any
of his colleagues, because of his long ser
vice in the House, and also because of
his prominence on the committee of ways
and means. He is naturally modest, but
in his quiet way he has accomplished
much good for his constituents. As dean
of the delegation he has generally been
put forward to do the heavy debating
for the delegation.
Representative Black figured conspicu
ously in the financial legislation that was
attempted in the House by reason of
his membership on the committee on
banking and currency. He won many
friends on both sides of the House by
his recognized ability and frankness # in
dealing with the money question.
Representative Livingston is the hust
ling member of the delegation. He is never
too weary to pull off his coat and go
to work for anything that is calculated to
help Georgia or a resident of the state.
He is not a Turner or a Crisp in debate,
but he is the equal of any man in the
House when ‘‘get there” qualities arc
compared.
Representatives Law’son, Maddox, Cabi
ness and Russell have not figured very
prominently in the work of the present
congress, but they have looked after the
interests of their constituents with a fidel
ity and ability that appears to be only
appreciated at home.
Representatives Tate and Moses were
active, energetic members ever ready to
take a hand in any contest that was cal
culated to improve or benefit their state.
None of the members of the delegation
have had many opportunities to secure lo
cal legislation this session for it was under
stood at the beginning of the session that
nothing outside of the general appro
priation bills was to be accomplished.
The leaders and moulders of legislation
in the House and Senate seem to have
carried out their programme to the letter
In spite of the protests that have come up
to them from the people generally.
EXPIRATION OK PATENTS*
A Decision Which Affects Vast In
terests Adversely.
Washington, March 4.—ln the Bate Re
frigerator Company’s case the supreme
court of the United States to-day decided
that the life of a patent was controlled
by that of the foreign patent for the same
invention. The case was certified from
the court of appeals for the Second cir
cuit, which asked the supreme court of
the United States to decide the ques
tion. The answer made by Justice Har
lan, speaking for the court, was: “The
invention for which the patent to Bate
was issued was under the facts stated
‘previously patented In a foreign coun
try,’ within the meaning of those words
in section 4H87 of the Revised Statutes, and
that the United States patent to him ex
pired under the terms of that section, ba
fore the expiration of seventeen years,
from its date.”
The decision affects adversely many
patents, no.ably In connection with the
use of the telephone, the electric light
and many other valuable inventions, all
told. It is estimated, representing $60u,000,-
000 of capital, which are by the decision
held to have expired.

by the use of crutches and cane. I tried
every medicine that I ever heard of in en

“ About a year ago I rend of a medirins

seemed to fit my case, so I sent for
samples. I was so well satisfied with the
samples that I sent for more, as they acted
directly in harmony with nature. Those
are the’ thing* 1 look for in treating diseases.
1 used a nuT iber of boxes of the pills, ami I
am now entirely relieved of all my several
ailments, and am able to move about once
more, without being • hampered with rrip

Pink Pills where the diagnoses of the rase
favors them.
“ 1 now have a remarkable case at Brain*

suffering from diabete and inwinidness. and
wai in the first stages of Briglit’s disease.
The doctors bad failed to give him any relief.
All holies of his recovery had been given up
when I was called in and took charge of the

recovery. The Bright’s disease wns headed

A RECORD OF PHOSPHOR IS,
Chief I'ndcr Heroin mend* That
DriiiCKifttM Keep n Record of lt
Sale.
Chief Puder and Assistant Chief Mc-
Guire have completed the annual report
of the fire department for 1894. The re
port is the most voluminous ever made
by the department, covering eighty-five
pages of manuscript and typewritten
matter.
The destruction of the buildings and
stocks of the Savannah Grocery Com
pany and M. Ferst’s Sons Cos., the sub
sequent investigation of the department
by Chief Haile of Kansas and the
ship fires In November are fully dealt
with, and account for the unusual length
of the report.
Tlie total loss of property by fire dur
ing the year was $4.'2,4(/7.36, including the
ship fires in November, the loss upon
which was $205,889, making the total de
struction of city property $243,518.36. The
amount recovered by insurance on city
losses was $232,729.79. making the net loss
to city property owners very small. The
total amount of insurance on this prop
erty was $734,822.33, divided as follows:
On contents, $318,550; on buildings, $416,-
872.33.
The amount of the insurance on the
ships and their cargoes damaged in the
November tires''could not be ascertained,
as the insurance was all In foreign com
panies. The* following is a schedule of
the losses of each vessel Included in the
report:

The total amount involved In the year’s
fires was $4,719,460, the greater part of
which was made up of the value of the
ships and their cargoes.
Chief Puder discusses the ship fires at
some lenglh. He points out that the fact
that phosphorous is a material whlc h can
be used by Incendiaries with the least
danger of detection has now become wide
spread, and h<* recommends that for this
reaon an ordinance be passed requiring
all druggists to register all sales of this
dangerous material.
Chief Hale’s official report of his Inspec
tion of the Savannah fire department is
given In full in Chief Puder * report. In
speaking of the fires which destroyed the
Savannah Grocery Company’s and M.
Ferst’s Sons & Co.’s buildings ami stocks,
Chief Puder makes no bones of the fact
that he has been criticised for his man
agement of these fires, find boldly answers
his accusers. He says that many people
have made charges against the head of
the fire department in this connection
who did not know what they were talk
ing about. When the first alarm was
turned in, he states, he was at the Ca
thedral cemetery, some distance out of
the city. He heard the alarm and nothing
the black column of smoke in the air,
saw ai once that the fire had been allowed
to gain considerable headway before the
alarm was turned in. He hurried back
to the city at once, and on arriving at the
scene turned in the second alarm. This,
he Intimates, should have been done some
time before. He quotes from the reports
of the Morning News and the statements
of eye witnesses to show the remarkable
rapidity with which the lire spread im
mediately after Its discovery.
The expenditures of the department for
the year were $61,872, and the value of the
department property Is stated at $125,300.

Jasper county is the scene of a novel
railroad light The difference is between
the towns of Machen and Shady Dale. A
special .to the Constitution gives both
sides of the affair. The Macon and North
ern road runs through both towns, but
the road built a depot at Machen ami
seemed to be inclined to that place rather
than to Shady Dale, which is an older
town and situated about three-quarters
of a mile from Machen. Machen also
has the advantage of Shady Dale in be
ing the terminus of the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic. Whtn Col. K. C. Machen
built the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
he had It specified in the charter that the
road should begin at Machen ami not at
Shady Dale Ns the people of Shady Dale
uie not friendly to the Macon and North
ern railroad because the road built its
main depot at Machen, the management
of the Middle Georgia and Atlantic road
is now endeavoring to change the terminus
of the Middle Georgia from Machen to
Shady Dale, and the people of Shady Dale
have promised the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic to give it all of theJr freight
if the change Is made from Machen. The
management proposes to have only a
spur running into Machen, to be used
"when business at Machen warrants ft.”
If the Macon and Northern gets all the
freight at Machen, the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic desires to obtain all the
frleght at Shady Dale. The Macon and
Northen will have to protect itself against
the Middle Georgia and Atlantic, and thus
the contest may not be one merely be
tween towns, but railroads as well. In
order for the Middle Georgia and Atlantic
to run to Shady Dale the road has to pass
through a cemetery. A few' nights ago
the management of tfie Middle Georgia
and Atlantic built the track through the

day, however, an injunction wa Issued
restraining the road from building any
further, and next Tuesday the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic is required to show
cause before Judge Hart, at Madison,
why it should not be perpetually enjoined
from making the change from Machen to
Shady Dale. The attorneys for Machen
say the Middle Georgia and Atlantic's
harter prohibits the change, and it ha*
been pointed out that some $16,000 has been
invested in and around Machen in the be
lief that no such change would be made.
The Central railroad has decided to put
in use on the new cars now being built,
at its shops anew airbrake known as tho

to close the contract by which the 300

with this system of airbrakes. This is an
