SCHOOL FUND COMPROMISED.
THE SSOO.OOO APPROI’RI ATION CAR
RIES THE DAY.

Laßoche Speak* on the School
Fund, and Otter* an Amendment.
Scnute Will Hardly Chants® tlic
Amount Fixed ly the House, hut
May Debate the Prison Pill*.
Atlanta, Dec. T.—The two paramount is
sues of the present session of the general
assembly were settled to-day, so far as
the House of Representatives is ccncern
ed.
First came the passing of the compro
mise foreshadowed in these dispatches
last night, on the school fund. By an
overwhelming majority, this fund was
fixed at ReO.Oi*).
Following this the pension issue was
taken up and fought to a finish, the
Brandon hi.ls. which confine the pensions
of both widows and maimed soldiers to
an indigent basis, being passed. The ma
jority that supported this reformation in
the pension laws, was such ns to leave no
room for another consideration. So this,
as well as the school fund question, may
be regarded as finally settled in the lower
branch of the assembly.
It may be that there will be a hard fight
on the pension bills in the Senate, though
this is doubted by the lawyers of the
House, hut it is hardly within the limits of
the probable that the upper branch will
make any serious attempt to interfere
with the status of common school ap
propriation as it passed the House. The
lower body met the issue with so much
determination, and with such evident de
liberation of purpose, that it would seem
folly for the Senate to attempt to aller its
W ’fne margin on the Brandon bills was
much closer than on the school fund,
lienee ihey cannot be regarded as com
pletely out of danger urnii the last shred
of opposition has been exhausted. In fact,
notice was given this afternoon that a
motion Ui reconsider would be made in
the morning, and upon this motion there
will be another skirmish at least, before
these measures get out o£ the hands of
Ihe House. There is a chance that they
may meet the fate of the Lane bill, Which,
after being passed, now lies pigeon-holed
in the House through the work of the fi.i
liusterers who opposed it.
The Brandon bills simply require pen
sioners under the maimed clause and the
widows' pension act, to make oath that
they are not able 10 provide for their own
support, before they will be entitled to
draw any more pension money out of the
ptate treasury. It is estimated by the
author after a careful investigation, that
the passage of these bills will save at
least $150,000 a year, and poss.bly more.
They are intended to reach the well-to-do
pensioners of both classes.
The vote by wiiich the House finally
gave the SBOO,OOO to the schools was 119 to
46. which shows how strong this item is
in the popular branch of the assembly.
This result was not reached either until
after three or four other propositions,
ranging trom $600,000 to $1,000,0(10, had been
defeated by almost the same majority that
passed the appropriation.
The vote in favor of the Brandon bills
was 93 against 54 , 88 being necessary to
pass them. Five votes is, therefore, all
the margin they had to spare.
When the school fund clause of the ap
propriation bill was resumed this morn
ing, after some preliminary discussion, Mr.
Laßoche of Chatham secured the floor.
It was the first time that Mr. Laßoche,
or. in fact, any member of the Chatham
delegation, had claimed the attention of
the House to del>ate a question, since the
commencement of the session, and he was
accorded a most flattering reception. The
reputation of Chatham delegation ha.l
t>oen established for quiet, effective sys
tematic work. It is not fullsome praise
to say Mr. Laßoche added to this repu
tation no little during the few minutes
he was on his feet. The close attention
paid to him rendered his voire distinctly
audible in every corner of the great hall,
oral thus increased the effectiveness of his
remarks.
The spokesman of the Savannah delega
tion went right to the core of the Issue.
He deprecated the fact that the ques
tion had been beclouded by an arraign
ment of the country against the towns,
protesting that the people of the state had
never instituted such a tine in the issue.
It was simply a business proposition and
should tie met as such. If the taxes were
more than the people could stand, they
should be reduced, reduced in justice to
all alike, not because the reduction would
benefit any one class of citizens or de
prive others.
Speaking of the people of Chatham
county, whom he represented in particu
lar, he declared that there was no great
iiue and cry there for a reduction of the
School appropriation, and he could not
therefore be accused of favoring a reduc
tion because he came from a city. Mr.
Laßoche concluded by moving as a com
promise measure that $730,000 be appro
priated direct, and that the schools also
have all funds that may arise from tax
ation on property ill excess of stl2,OoO.<VK>.
Following this there Were several other
motions. The Laßoche amendment was
lost by a vote of 112 to 27.
Upon a proposition lo make it SBOO,OOO,
with a contingent clause similar lo that
In the Laßoche amendment, the House
voted 51 in favor and 99 against.
This amendment was offered by Mr.
Turk of Greene.
The Calvin motion to make it $600,000,
with the excess clause, as in the Laßoche
motion was put. At this juncture, Mr.
Harrison of Quitman had the question
divided and the $600,000 appropriation was
lost by a vote of 88 to 64. Then the propo
sition to give the excess of $412,000,000 was
put and voted down unanimously. The
amendment of Mr. Everett of Folk, carry
ing Ihe full $1,000,000 appropriation was
pul and iost by 93 lo 65. Lastly the amend
ment by Mr. Adams of Putnam was put
to the House. This was for the SBOO,OOO
compromise appropriation, stripped of all
contingencies, and it carried by tiie over
whelming vote of 119 lo 46.
Mr. Brandon of Fulton made the most
oluborate argument of the day in sup
port of his bills to put the pension lists,
upon an indigent basis. Mr. Hall oi Bibb
was conspicuous in opposition to the
hills.
One of the best speeches of the day was
made by Mr. Overstreet of Screven coun
ty. It was his maiden effort, but won for
him at once ihe respect and admiration
of the House. He favored the Brandon
bills, r.ot because he opposed paying pen
sions to any confederate soldier or his
widow, but because he said the slate is
not now able to meet tills obligation in
the manner she would like. Mr. Over
i tree! was In the midst of his speech when
the hour for adjournment arrived, but the
session was extended to give him time to
finish, which was a well deserved coinpil
meiit to him.
The Chatham members all voted In fa
vor of the Brandon bills. To-morrow the
question of milking appropriation for the
pensions will come up. If the Brandon
bills are lo stand the appropriation will

this appropriation, however. When it is
finished the House will have dalt with
the- greatest problems with which it is
booked lo conn nd this session.
There was some speculation as to the
probable course of Gov. Candler in deal
ing Wi( i the school appropriation. Some
mt mb( rs think that the Governor will
veto the s<so6,ooo. inasmuch as he specifl
cnlly recommended that not more than
$600,000 be given Ihe schools. Others, how
ever, do not think that he will take this
radical step, but will accept the compro
mise, just as the House accepted it.
DA VIS INSTEAD OF CLIFTOV.
MvMillnti nnd Clifton on the Presi
dential Committee.
Atlanta, Dec. 7.—Senator Clifton to-day
asked that the statement in these dis
patches of several days ago that he had
the McDonough anti-pool room bill call
ed up and killed, be corrected. It was
Senator Davis of the Thirty-seventh dis
trict, who made the motion, though Sen
ator Clifton says he has nothing to take
back in casting his vote in opposition
to it
Mr. McMillan of the Chatham delega
tion was to-day appointed on the House
committee to receive President McKinley
upon his arrival in Atlanta next week.
Messrs. Hardwick. Brandon and.Ousley
are also on this committee. Senator Clif
ton is one of the members of the Senate
part of the committee, and will probably
be made chairman o$ it. The other sena
tors named for this pleasant duty are
Messrs. Hand and Mann.
The Senate passed the McLester bill,
providing for county boards of assessors,
and ordered it immediately transmitted to
(he House. The Emanuel bill, amending
the act creating a board of county com
missioners for Glynn county, was also
passed by the Senate.
Mr. Mann introduced a bill placing so
licitors general on a salary of $2,000 a
year, to be paid out of the fines and for
feitures, and the excess of the salary to
go into the county treasury.
Mr. Humphreys introduced a bill to
make it unlawful to make beer out of corn
or cane skimmings. He says this sort of
tanglefoot is as bad as the worst whis
ky.
CAVALRYMAN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Found Dead in ilie Wood* With n
PiHtol Tightly Grasped.
Augusta, Dec. 7.—James Lyons, aged 23,
a member of Troop D,'Third United States
Cavalry, was found dead in the bushes
near Camp McKenzie to-day.
He has been missing for about a week
and it was supposed he had run away. He
enlisted about three years ago, when the
troop was stationed at Jefferson Barracks,
Mo., and nothing is known of his family
connections. He is said to have complained
recently of being in debt, and to have been
drinking since pay day.
His body lay face downward, and in his
band a regulation 38 calibre pistol was
tightly grasped. With one hand the barrel
was held against the head, and the thumb
of the other hand pressed, upon the trig
ger. Two bullet holes wore in the head, one
above the left eye and the other in the
forehead. The singed flesh and clotted
blood presented a sickening siioctacle, and
the sand nearby was saturated with
blood.
The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict
that “The deeeasid came to his death by
bullet wounds in his head, from a pistol
in the hands of the deceased."
The body had evidently been laying in
the same spot for several days, and it is
probables the man took his life soon after
disappearing from camp on last Wednes
! day. The members of “D" troop have
raised n subs riptlon list, and will give
their comrade a nice burial. The body will
be interred in the cemetery at the arsenal
to-morrow afternoon with military honors.
ACQUITTED, THEN LYNCHED.
Negro Set Free by the Court* I*
Taken From ill* lied and Hanged.
Monticello, Ga.. Doc. 7.—Another chap
ter in the Pope murder was enacted hero
last night. Jake Glover, a negro, who was
accused of being an accomplice of the
negro Merriwether, who was lynched for
the crime' Nov. 22, has been hi jail here
since the crime was committed.
His trial was held yesterday, but noth
ing being produced which tended to con
vict him. he was turned free. Late last
night a mob of 100 people went out to Glov
er's house, took him from his bed and
hanged him to a near-by tree. Pope was
a prominent young man of 18, and was
killed for a few do.lars he had in his
pockets.

Atlanta, Dec. 7.—There was a municipal
election in Atlanta to-day, the regular
election for Mayor and councllmen and
all city officers. No one, apparently, but
the managers knew anything about it,
however, until the closing of the saloons
was discovered.
A few thirsty citizens, when they found
bey could not get beer, went to the polls
and voted. The whole number of ballots
□st in the city was not more than 1,200,
ill of which went for Mayor-elect Wood
v ird, and tile ticket nominated in the
heated primary several months ago.

Conduct of the Politician*.
Augusta, Ga.. Dec. 7.—Augusta had an
other disgusting election to-day, in which
negro voters were bought like sheep, and
marched to the polls In solid columns to
be voted by their white purchasers at eo
much per head.
In the Second ward, Mr. Richard E. Al
len never had any oppos.tion from the
first.
In the First ward. Mr. Allred Martin’s
election was determined by a white pri
mary held Nov. 10, and in the Third ward,
Mr. A. had been nominated by
a white mass meeting, to which he and
his opponent, Mr. Patrick Armstrong, had
voluntarily submitted their candidacy. In
these wards there was no contest and no
interest, but in the Fourth and Fifth
wards there had been a failure to agree
on a white primary, and there was a con
test at the polls decided by the ability to
purchase negro votes.
Mr. M. J. MeAullffe had been brought
out as the Walsh administration candi
date in the Fourth, and W. A. Matteson
was backed by the Walsh people in the
Fifth.
The Dunbar and Kerr factions, that were
beaten by Mr. Waish a year ago in the
mayoralty election, united all their
strength to def.-at these Walsh candidates,
and J. A. A. W. Clark was brought out
in the Fourth ward, and R. E. Elliot in
the Fifth. In the Fourth ward they suc
ceeded overwhelming.y, and in the Fifth
they landed their man Elliot by four votes.
In the Fourth ward the purchase of
votes was without concealment. One fac
tion paid off in cash and the other in
checks. Entrance being from the east side,
the negro would leave by the west side,
and being vouched for would be given $3.
One of the paymasters began pinning the
$5 on the lape. of the coats of the pur
chased voters, and the bought voter went
among the crowd with his pay money so
displayed.
The polls opened with 250 negro voters
in line for MeAuliffe. They had camped
around the polls all night, under guard of
white lieutenants, lo be first on the ground.
They were jubilant at the prospect of vic
tory, but at 8:30 o’clock the Clark lieu
tenants marched 400 negro voters in line
to the polls from a neighboring wagon
yard, where they had been penned up all
night and kept under guard. This col
umn, which looked more numerous than
it really was, broke the confidence of the
MeAuliffe side and stampeded a number
of their voters.
There were several fights between prom
inent workers in the opposing factions, but
nobody was seriously hurt. The buyers
were still giving $5 for votes, “had the
money ready to pay when the ballot was
cast,” "wouldn’t pay but $2.50 a little
later.”
One negro with $5 bills in his hand went
among the negroes, showing the “stuff we
give for votes.”
How long the people of Augusta will sub
mit to this sort of thing no one seems to
know. It was thought that the last may
oralty election would prove the last exhi
bition of the kind, but to-day’s council
mans contest in the Fourth and Fiftn
wards was just as bad on a somewhat
smaller scale.
In the Fifth ward the Walsh candidate
was carrying everything his way for the
first few hours, and his election was re
ported all over town to be almost a walk
over; but after stampeding the MeAuliffe
forces in the Fourth ward and carrying
things by- storm in that ward, the anti-
Walsh workers from all parts of town
went up to the Fifth ward and concen
trated their efforts to carry the day for
Elliott. There was already such a big lead
for Mattison that it was an up-hill fight,
hut they swarmed around the polls and
carried the day by storm, stampeding the
Mattison forces and winning for Elliott by
the narrow margin of three votes.
Neither side is condemned more than li e
other. It is not the individual but the
system that needs reforming. The vic
tory of one side simply means that it had
more money to pay with, and more ski'.l
and strength in manipulating votes. The
other side would have won by the same
means if it could have done so. The
whole thing is a reproach to the commun
ity and a disgrace. Many men are de
claring this shall bo the last time, but
this has been heard before, mid there is
no telling. The trouble is that the men
who are accustomed to manipulating the
r.egro vote, are beticr willing to risk their
chances in the issue of such an election
than to leave their fate in the hands of
the white voter* alone.
It is also contended that a primary elec
tion is just ns corrupt as a final election,
and that white' votes can be and are pur
chased. Again ii is claimed that the large
number of Populists and A. P. A. votes
among a clan of our white volets, make
a Democratic primary necessary instead
of a white primary. The result of the
varying opinions is that Augusta continuYs
to be disgraced by corrupt elections and
public purchase of negro votes.

DEMONSTRATION IN A CHURCH.
Dr. L. G. Broughton of Atlanta
Jeered by Some of Hi* Hearer*.
Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. 7.—A strikingly unus
ual demonstration—the exact opposite of
that which occurred in Emanuel Baptist
Church, Chicago, several years ago, when
the pastor, Rev. Dr. George C. Lorlmer.
now of Tremont Temple. Boston, was ap
plauded by his congregation for a nota
ble expression at the funeral of one of its
members, was witnessed at the Third
Baptist Church here to-night, the pastor,
Dr. L. G. Broughton, being jeered by a
portion of his hearer*-.
The scene was the outcome of a discus
sion regarding the disposal of some
church property. >A resolution ordering
the sale was about to be put, when an
amendment was offered to the effect that
the action of the committee favoring the
sale, should first be ratified by the con
gregation. Dr. Broughton left the pulpit
and coming to the floor said the amend
ment offered had been sent in for no oth
er purpose than to prolong the fight which
was on in the church over the disposition
of the real estate. Dr. Broughton high
ly excited, said;
"For the sake of peace in the church
let’s tight the thing out now and settle the
question.”
Ho was interrupted and balled to order
hy one of the opposing force, and in a
moment the church was in an uproar.
First came laughter from the female por
tion of the audience, (hen someone ap
plauded with the feet, and then the en
tire dissatisfied element clapped their
hands, rapped their canes and umbrellas
on the scats and the church rang with
their laughter.
Dr. Broughton attempted to quiet the tu
mult, saying there was one tiling he was
sure of, and that was his religion. This
was greeted with “I doubt it" from one
of the dissidents, and again there was
laughter. Dr. Broughton returnee! quick
ly to the restrum and after calming
himself, addressed a scathing rebuke to
the disturbing element. Without further
Interruption the resolution was passed and
the sale ordered.
Dr. Broughton's sermons have caused
more comment than those of any other
minister in this city, because of their
fierce opposition to other creeds and at
tacks upon Atlanta society. He came here
