ple.
Atlanta. Oa., Dec. 2.—The Hall railroad
charter Mil which by common consent has
bo*u regarded as (he test of railroad hos
tility in the House met .in adverse late
to-day. After ihe most exciting <l> bate
of the session li was defeated by a vote
of S3 to 57.
The issue was squarely made liy the op
ponents of Ihe bill. wlhj asserted boldly
that it was designed soleiy to affect 'he
Southern Railway Company. Mr. Hall,
th£_ author, however, denied this, as well
as the charge that he was seeking to gra
tify any personal feedings of hostility to
ward such corporations.
The opponents of the bill refused to ac
cept this disclaimer and insisted upon the
echarge that the thrust was aimed at the
heart of the Southern. Thus the result
may be taken as a positve victory for the
Southern Railway, and a guaraniee that
there will likely be no hostile railroad
legislation by this general assembly.
Mr. Hall’s bill Is pretty weil understood
by readers of the Morning News, which
was the first paper in the state to pr< sent
its true Import. It sought to comiiol every
company operating railroads in this state
to become a local corporation.
When the debate of the bill was resumed
this mottling. Mr. Denny of Floyd had the
floor. His speech yesterday was begun in
a most sensational strain, and it was ex
pected that he would continue in the same
line; but instead of following up the per
sonalisms directed at the author of the bill,
he took occasion to say in closing that lie
had no intention of making a reflection
upon that gentleman, whom he declared to
be worthy of Ihe high esteem In which
he is held both In his profession and as an
honest representative.
Following Mr. Denny, whose argument
was forcible and convincing Mr. Jones of
Burke spoke against the bill, and Mr. Bell
of Forsyth In favor of it. Mr. Park, of
Green, and Mr. Brandon of Fulton also
made speeches against the bill. Then Mr.
Hall of Bibb, having been granted the
time of the chairman of Ihe judiciary com
mittee, closed the argument.
Mr. Park, in his speech, which was short
but to the point, declared that the trouble
with the member from Bibb county w.ts
that he dreamed of the Southern Railway
at night, and the dreams murdered his
sleep, therefore he was the sworn enemy
of the assassin that destroyed his rest. Mr.
Park was the author of the amendment ex
empting companies now doing business
from the effect of the bill upon which, as
il practically killed the bill, the light was
being made.
Mr. Hall’s speech was pretty much on
the same strain as that delivered yester
day, being an lmpussioned appeal for the
protection of the rights and liberties of
the people, as he termed it, against the
slavery of (he money kings of Wall street.
In the outset he paid his respects to Mr.
Denny of Floyd, on account of the caustic
remarks ot the member from Floyd yes
terday. Mr. Hall said that he had never
heard such personal abuse, under the guise
of argument, as Mr. Denny hail levelled at
him, "but,” he continued, "a friend of the
gentleman from Floyd came to see me yes
terday afternoon, and told me I should not
pay any attention to what he said because
when he was speaking he had no idea what
he was saying. "With this, I let the matter
pass, but I think in truth, the gentleman
from Floyd never has any idea on any sub
ject. He simply forgot his lesson. His rail
road instructors had told him to call me
an anarchist. He got th3 big word mixed
up with demagogue, and not knowing the
difference, he> forgot what the railroad
lawyers call me and characterized me as
a demagogue.”
Upon the adoption of the Park amend
ment, Mr. Hall moved to table his hill, hut
the motion was out of order and it was
lost by a disagreement to the report of
the committee which had been favorable
to it.
TO CUT DOWN THEIH SALARIES.
House Decides Railroad Commis
sioners Should Have strum I,ess.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2.—There was a w arm
fight in the House immediately following
the defeat of the Hall bill, over the Lane
bill, cutting down the salaries of the rail
road commissioners from $2,500 to $2,000
a year. On this the economist won out,
passing the bill by one more than a con
stitutional majority.
Mr. Watkins of Gilmer tried again to get
in his substitute providing for a 20 per
cent, cut al along the line of state paid
officials, but the effort failed.
After all the speeches had been made on
the Mil, Mr. Bush of Miller precipitated
a sensation by rising to a question of per
sonal privilege. He explained that when
he heard the statement on the lloor the
other day that one nu mber of the railroad
commission had referred to those who fav
ored the cut in their salaries as a “lot of
d—n fools,” he was much incensed, declar
ing that he would maintain the out. The
friends had come to him and in their com
pany he went to the railroad commissioner
in question and he denied most positvciy
that he had ever used any such expression
üboul memliers of the legislature.
This statement from Mr. Bush brought
Mr. Everett of Stewart, the member who
had brought the question, ”d—n fool”
business before the House, to his feet, lie
repeated what he had formerly said, arid
gave Mr. Dane of Sumter, the author of
the bill, as his authority. Thereupon Mr.
Dane, also speaking on a question of |s r
sonal privilege, gave Mr. W. R. Brewer of
Griffin as the gentleman who had to.d
him of the remarks of the railroad com
missioner. .
Mr. Morris of Cobb asked that the name
ot the commissioner lx* given, as the House
was entitled to it, and Mr. Lane then stat
ed that Judge Spencer Atkinson was the
commissioner whom Mr. Brewer retorted
as having called the reformers of the leg
islature "a lot of fools.” Mr. Brew
er is a member of the firm of Brewer &
Hanleiter of Griffin, who have had a num
ber of complaints before the Railroad
Commission, and having gained nothing
by them, it is charged that he Is not on
good terms with some of the members, at
least. Judge Atkinson has positively de
nied that he used any such language. Mr.
Everett say* Mr. Brewir is Killing to
make affidavit that he did. Thus there is
a difference which may yet cause some
interesting complications.
The Senate to-day tabled the Calvin
bank bill which provided for a test of la
per cent, tax law, but passed his resolu
tion* memorializing Georgia’s repre-asnta
ttves In Congress in favor of the Nicarau
ga canal. There was connklcruble debate
over both propositions. The Senate also

Atlanta, Dec. 2.—C01. D. N. Trammell,

signed was to-day re-nppolnted for anoth

The term of Col. Trammell does not ex

would occur lx fore the meeting of the leg
islature and as the appointment has to De

cided to make it now. By so doing he
avoids any contest for the place.
It had been reported at the capitol that

O’BYRNE’S EFFECTIVE APPEAL
1.41 ASSESSORS* REPEALING BII.L
HELD UP IN THE SENATE.
Iliils Repealing the Pollee Commis
sion and Commissioner of Public
Works Acts Noxv Ready for the
Governor’s Signature—Tax Asses
sors Holding Out for \nother 1 ear.
Mr. Lnltoehe Insists That This
Commission Should Go Along With
the Others.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 2.—Two more of the
Savannah anti-commission bills passed the
Senate to-day and are now awaiting the
signature of the Governor to become op
erative laws.
They were the bills relating to the Po
lice Commission and commissioner of
public works.
A third one of the commission bills, that
which proposed to abolish the board of tax
assessors, struck a snag just as It was
about to be put through the hopper, and
now lies lied up for repairs as it were.
Yesterday Mr. M. A. O’Byrne arrived in
the city, bringing with him a protest
against the tax commission bill signed by
Mayor Meldrim and a half dozen of the
aldermen. Mr. o’k>\ne this morning used
this protest to such gbod advantage in the
Senate that the passage of the bill was
delayed temporarily, at least.
Fpon Senator Grovensteln it created the
impression that there Is serious division
of opinion as to the wisdom of abolishing
the tax commission just at the present
time, and accordingly he moved to table
it. Laier, in speaking about his action,
the senator said he wished to do Just
what the people, or rather the representa
tives of the people of Savannah, want in
the matter, and when they get together
he will either have the bill taken up and
passed, or will continue it in the pigeon
hole.
Mr. McDonough left for Savannah to
night, and will confer with the Mayor
and aldermen about the bill to-morrow.
Mr. Laßoche said this afternoon that the
Mayor and aldermen had signed the pro
test simply as individuals, and that their
action was not the official expression of
the will of the city government. He
thinks that the tax commission ought to
go along with the others.
The argument contained in the protest
Is that the abolishment of the tax com
mission just at this particular time might
be Injurious to the interests of the city.
As Mr. Laßoche sees it, however, it is
simply an effort to prolong the official
lives of the present commissioners another
year. It Is likely that the representatives
will get together and harmonize in the
matter rs they have done* with the Park
and Tree Commission bill, when Mr. Mc-
Donough returns on Monday. (
TO BE GIVEN AN INCREASE.
Southern Railroad Employes Gain
Their Point-eW HI Get Better Pay.
Atlanta, Dec. 2.—lt is announced here to
day upon authority of a committee of the
employes, that the Southern Railway has
promised, a partial restoration of the ten
per cent, cut in wages made several years
ngo. The restoration comes as the result
of persistent agitation by the employes
who think the increased business of the
road justifies asking for better pay.
The new scale will go into effect Jan. 1,
1599, and while it is not to be a full res
toration of the ten per cent, cut, it will be
such an increase as will give the several
thousand employes of the road general sat
isfaction and at the same time avert a
strike in the shops of the system.
The promise of the Southern’s officers to
Increase wages-was not given without full
consideration. The company was first ask
ed to restore the cut last summer, about
the time the Western and Atlantic and
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis re
stored partially the ten per cent, cut on
those roads, but the answer came from
Washington that the Southern did not
make the cut, and that it was not respon
sible for any promise to restore.
The machinists of ihe system then took
up the matter, and began holding meetings
and discussing the advisability of demand
ing an Increase of wages. It was decided
about a month ago to make the demand.
The machinists of the system formulated
a demand on the company asking for an
Increase of ten per cent, and the company
was given until Nov. 9 to answer the de
mand. The answer given was unsatisfactory
and after holding called meetings the ma
chinists of the system voted to go out on
strike on the 30th of last month. Every
machinist in the employ of the road was
to have quit work on that day, but a few
days ago ihe comiainy’s a gen is went to
The men and assured them of a raise op
Jan. 1. They stated that anew scale of
wages was to be arranged and the men
were to be given ten hours of work a day.
Just what the raise would be is not stated,
but it is thought that it would amount ,o
an increase of about 5 per cent., and the
company agrees, it is said, to let this in
crease stand permanently, not to be cut
after the heavy business is over.
GIVEN LIGHT SENTENCES.
Stray Bullet Said to Have Killed the
Sixth Virginia Negro.
Macon. Dec. 2.—The Sixth Virginia ne
groes who mutinied recently, received the
surprisingly light sentence to-day of thirty
days under guard. The leaders were put to
work digging up stumps. It is a regular
picnic for most of the men. and they spend
their time ridiculing those who have to
guard them.
The negro who was found dead In his
tent the other morning with a pistol ball
through his head, seems to have been kill
ed by a stray bullet from some rioters a
few hundred yards away. It was thought
for a while the negro’s tent mate mur
dered him. but it is now the opinion of
nearly everybody ai camp that the stray
bullet theory is correct,

Desperado Resisted Arrest and Was
Shot Down.
Griffin, Ga., Dec. 2.—This afternoon at
5:30 o'clock the body of Ed Powell was
brought down to Gridin from Senoia for
burial.
Powell was killed last night about two
and a half miles above Senoia by a sher
iff's posse, while resisting arrest. The
posse consisted of Sheriff Morris of Spald
ing, Marshal W. M. Reeves of Senoia,
Bailiff Lewis McCollough of Coweta, and
J. T. Hewell of Fayette.
Ed Powell was wanted on two Indict
ments, and only two weeks ago broke
jail In Griffin. The officers located him
and George Brkiges, another escape, anti
went to arrest them, and the resistance
was such that Powell was shot dead, and
it is thought that Bridges is severely
wounded. Sheriff Morris was cut three
times and his life was only saved by
official papers that were badly cut.
Ihe general opinion is that the posse
was justifiable. The character of Ed
Powell is well know-n in police circles in
Griffin, and his boast had been that he
had been arrested twenty-six times, and
the next officer could not take him alive.
His own relative took a Winchester away
from him and gave it to an officer, and
a negro, who was at one time a running
mate of his, says that he was always
afraid of him. Every officer that ever
came in contact with him felt an Over
due responsibility, and. while the man
ner of his death may be regretted, there
is a relief in police circles.
HAD A DECOY LETTER.
Then Confessed Tlint He Had Stolen
Regularly From the Mails.
Macon, Ga., Dec. 2.—Robert Jones, col
ored, porter at the Union depot, In this
city, was arrested this morning by Post
office Inspectors Wardle and Barry, and
a decoy or test letter, containing $1.75,
was found on his person.
Jones at first*denled his guilt, but later
made a full confession and said he had
been robbing the mails for the past two
months. He was sent to jail in default of
a SSOO bond.
Jones is the second porter arrested for
robbing the mails at the depot within the
past three months. He had stolen checks
and drafts from the mall of the American
National Bank to the amount of $7,000,
and it is said that the amount of cash he
has stolen small sums will figure up a
large amount. g
