O’BRIEN TO BE PROSECUTED. Catholic Knights Refuse a Proposition for Settlement. A Toledo, O., special of Tuesday says: M. J. O’Brien, of Chattanooga, Tenn., formerly treasurer of the Catholic Knights of America, and who default¬ ed in the sum of $76,000, called on mu¬ nicipal authorities here with a. view to settlement. He submitted a proposition to pay $2,500 cash and $3,000 in annual installments until the discrepancy, which he claims is $60,000, is made good. After a lengthy consideration of tbe proposi¬ tion the officers rejected it, and, pending a mere the acceptable against one, resolved to prose¬ cute case the ex-treasurer. O’Brien, it will be remembered, fled from Chattanooga before it beeome known that he was a defaulter, but waa subse¬ quently captured and indicted. Owens and Black Released. The United States grand jury investi¬ gating the Red wine defalcation at At¬ lanta, Ga., Wednesday, failed io indict Owens and Black, who were charg¬ ed with aiding Red wine, and they were released.

THE TOCCOA NEWS. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Rappenins iron Day to Day ii National Capital Appointments in the Various Depart¬ ments-Proceedings of the Senate. THE SENATE. The senate held a short session Wednesday, lasting not longer than thirty dispo9tug minutes. Meeting at noon and of some morniDg business, an executive session was ordered, and, while in executive session, a recess Was taken till half past 3 o’clock so as to give time to the republican caucus to complete it 3 party assignments to committee places. When the senate reassembled, Mr. Gor¬ man, ffered Bcting for the democratic majority, ' a resolution declaring the consti¬ tution of the standing and select com mittees, and that resolution was agreed to, the senate then adjourned till Th urs- day. A communication was presented from the interior department in answer to a rc8olutit n in last session inquiring as to whether ptrmis- sion for Sunday c >ncerts in the pension office had been given. The com¬ munication states that such permission had been applied for and bad been ex presely refused, and that the building had not been used on Sundays for such purposes. The credentials of Mr. Beck¬ with, appoin’ed as senator from the state of Wyoming were presented by Mr. Vance and were laid on the table to be referred to the committee on privileges and elections when appointed. The vice president laid before the senate the reso¬ lution of the Massachusetts legislature, favoring the annexation of the Hawaiian islands. After they were read, the sug¬ gestion was made by Mr. Sherman that they should have been presented in ex¬ ecutive session. They were laid on the table and then the senate proceeded to take up executive business, a list of nom¬ inations having been previously received from the president of the United States. The only business transacted by the various senate Thursday was the presentation of memorials from the legislature of North Dakota, and a refrrence of the res- olution for tbe appointment of a clerk to the committee on national banks (at $1,- 440 per annum). Then Mr. Gorman moved an adjournment, and the senate, at 12:12, adjourned until Monday at noon. The numerous errors that have come to light in the enrollment of the great ap¬ ed propriation bills at the last session form¬ the subject of discussion for nearly an hour at the time that the senate was in set-s’.on Monday. More than ninety such errors were stated by Mr. Hale to have been discovered by him in the na¬ val appropriation bill alone. Various resolutions as to clerks of committees, changes acted of rules, etc., were off-red. but not on, and the senate adjourned till Wednesday. The credentials of Sen¬ ator Allen, appointed by the governor of the state of Washington, were read and laid on the table. Mr. Mc¬ Pherson offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on education and labor, directing the commissioner to make a report at the opening of the fifty- third congress, comprehending facts in relation to the total cost of producing various iron and steel products, such as bar iron, steel rails, etc., and of leading articles of textile industry, and of other articles, the cost of which may be ap¬ proximately obtained. Mr. Allison of¬ fered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on rules, permitting pho¬ tographic copies to be taken of certain ancient executive communications in the flies in the archives of the senate, for exhibition at the world’s Columbian ex¬ position. about the departments. The government’s expenditures up to date this month are $22,131,000, exceed¬ ing the receipts by $40,000. Secretary Carlisle, on Saturday, ap¬ pointed S. E Gaines, of Covington, Ky., his private secretary. Mr. Gaines is nbout fifty years of age, and was former¬ ly editor of the Covington Common¬ wealth. Secretary Gresham and Mr. Grip, the Swedish envoy on Saturday exchanged at the state department, ratified copies of the extradition treaty between the Uni¬ ted States and Sweden, concluded on the 4th of January last. The bar of the United States supreme court assembled Saturday and after speeches by Senators Vilas, George, Wal¬ thall and Mitchell, Representative Catch- ings and others, adopted resolutions eulo¬ gistic of the late Justice Lamari President Cleveland was fifty-six years old Saturday, and he celebrated the occa¬ sion m the way he has passed nearly every day since his induction into office. For three he was busy receiving office- seekers and their congressional friends. One of the last ocffiial acts of General Raum, late commissioner of pensions,was to write a letter to Secretary Smith call¬ ing attention to the serious interruption to the work of the pension bureau and the less to the government by the use oi the pension building for the inaugural ball. \ . There are 2,170 postoffices in Georgia and something over ten thousand appli¬ cants for these plumbs. Naturally the Georgia congressmen are somewhat per¬ plexed to make selections for each cffice and when the applications sometimes come in by the score in every mail, they a most wish they were not congressmen. A democratic congressman's life is any¬ thing but a happy one right now. Postmaster General Bissell is credited with the announcement that no local business men need apply for postoffices under his administration. He objects l commissioning local business men a- postmasters, for reason that the actual duties are performed by irresponsible, and often incompetent clerks and substitute . A postmaster under Mr. Bissell mus promise to devote his entire time t< the work,and personally keep strict office hours. Senators Wolcott and Teller, of Colo¬ rado, called Thursday morning and in¬ terviewed Secretary Carlisle in regard to the light-weight pointed gold the at Denver. them, The secretary out statutes to regulating his action in the premises and TOCCOA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 24, 189& tne tfelegrdphed government officers at l/tavef iiufit-weigfit Wete not to accept gold except by tfreight^ Tt'hen light¬ weight is proffered the government and the parties < ffering it refuse to Sell it by weight, it is returned to them witb the Word “light” stamped across its face, the same as the word “counterfeit” is stamp¬ ed across the face of a bad note. The change that has come over the senate was patent to the most experienced observer Thursday. As soon as the body httd adjourned after its brief session the army of office-seekers, \frho hdvfe been found thronging the corridors for days! past, entrance and opportunity to see their senators. And all found their way to the democratic side of the chamber With the r< suit that nearly every s nator seated there WaS soon surrounded by a group of Wistful-eyed then of Was obliged in self-defense to flee to the re¬ tiring rooms of the committee rooms. On the other side of the chamber the repub¬ lican senators sat at their ease, and were unmolested, amused observers of the scene. Confirmed by the Senate. The senate has confirmed the follow¬ Massachusetts, ing nominations: Josiah Quincy, of to be assistant secretary of state; Isaac P. Gray, of Indians, to be envoy extraordinary and minister pleni¬ potentiary of the United States to Mexi¬ co. James B. Eustis, of Louisiana, to be minister to France. Patrick A. Col¬ lins, of Massachusetts, to be consul of the United States at London. Robert A. Maxwell, at New York, to be fourth assistant postmaster general. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, to be com¬ missioner of railroads. William McAdoo, New Jersey, to be assistant secretary of the navy. Secretary Morton Reducing Expenses. Secretary Morton intends to pursue the policy of economy in the administration ol the agricultural department. He will have no sinecures under him and if there is no work for an employe to do his ser¬ vices will be dispensed with and the gov¬ ernment’s pay rolls lightened to that ex¬ tent. As a result of certain changes in the methods of doing work, a reduction in the force in the bureau of animal in¬ dustry has been rendered possible and forty-seven employes, whose monthly been compensation aggregated $4,500 have dismissed. The official microscopic force—121 employes—have been fur¬ loughed, ing making a further monthly sav¬ of $6,050. New Nominations. The president, Mouday, sent the following nominations to the senate: James R. Eustis, of Louisiana, to bo en¬ voy ex'raordinary and minister plenipo¬ tentiary Thecdore of tbe United States to France; Runyon, of New Jersey, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary Germany; of the United States to John E.

A Washington dispatch says: The state of Virginia and the state of Tennes¬ see are parties to a suit which occupied practically all the time of the United States supreme court Wednesday. Vir¬ ginia is seeking to secure a large strip of land now within the boundary of Ten¬ nessee, but claimed by the old dominion to be part of its territory. The tract in question is a wedged-shaped strip of land stretching across the northern border of Tennessee, adjoining Virginia on the south. It is 113 miles in length, two miles in width at its eastern and fight miles in width at its western extremity. ’ The country is mostly sparsely settled, but it is in the line of material develop¬ ment of. southwestern Virginia and east¬ ern Tennessee. One of the towns in dispute is Bristol, Tenn., which has grown greatly in the last decade and enjoys two municipal governments, ac¬ cording to the present boundary line be¬ tween Tennessee and Virginia, Main street separating the Tennessee section of the town from the Virginia section. If Virginia should win the 6uii the whole town would -be »~^t of its terri¬ tory. JULES FERRY DEAD. > i A Noted French Statesman Dies of Heart Disease. Jules Francois Camille Ferry, the cele- brated French statesman, died in Paris Friday of heart trouble. The affection of tho heart, from which he suffered; was due to the effect of a bullet striking a rib near the base of the heart at the time he was attacked by Aubertin, in 1887. He was seized with spasms early in the morning, and despite every effort made by the physicians, why were hastily summoned, the convulsions continued to grow in violence until, at 6 o’clock in the evening, he expired in a terribly se¬ vere spasm. LANGTRY’S GOOD LUCK. Abingdon Left Her an Income of $200,000 a Tear. A Nice special says: Mrs. Langtry heard the news of the death of Abingdon Baird during a Mediterranean cruise in tbe yacht White Lady. She hastily went to Nice, where she arrived Monday morning and started for England. It is said Baird has left her $200,000 a year and his magnificent establishment at New Market, and his racing horses. Eight Miners Killed. A horrible accident occurred Monday in a coal pit near Chesterfield, Derby¬ shire, England. While the cage was de¬ scending, loaded with-miners going to their work, the cage owing to some acci¬ dent to the aparatus, suddenly fell to the bottom of the shaft. Eight miners were killed. FlQHT WITH DESPERADOES. A Sheriff Allied and a DepfitJ W«n*td- id—Judge Lynch Takes ft Hand. - A terrible tfag4d4 occurred tHH# on Sat¬ the Knoxville and Ohio passenger Point, urday morning before daylight at Hell's a peculiarly significant name, one mile and a half east, of Newcomb, in Campbell county, in which Sheriff John Burnett, of Campbell county, was killed ' Deputy Sheriff John Dale, probably fa¬ ed, tally shot; Jessfe Crusoe Jones Smith mortally wound¬ add sustained several se¬ rious injuries. and Sheriff Sheriff Burnett Friday Depiity JacBS- Dale went to Jelico from boro, to arrest a miner by the name of Jesse Jones, on the charge of carrying concealed weapons, Jones was promptly arrested. The arrest was ifiadC oti .the Tennessee side of the line dividing Kentucky And Tennessee, not far from Jellico. Soon afterwards a number of miners, friends of Jones, came to the rescue of Jones and succeeded In taking him away from the officers. They bade then hastened to the the Kentucky line and Who deemed defiance to Tennessee officers it prudent not to cross the line. The rescue and fight took place on the train, Which Was at the time tunning at the rate of thirty miles an hour. When the sheriff was killed, Deputy Sheriff Dale, who had opened fire upon the murderous assailants of himself and his superior of¬ ficer, was overpowered the and rushed to the rear platform off.„ of assailants smoker leaping and was thrown his after him. The train was stopped by this time* and was run back to the point where the shooting had commenced, Dale was found the wandering dazed about the woods near track in a and partially de¬ mented condition. His senses gradually returned, however, ahd it was found that be had been shot in the temple* receiving a very dangerous wound. Crusoe Smith and Jesse Jones were found near where the deputy was come upon. They were lying by the side of the railroad apparently dead, but they soon returned to consciousness. Jones, the prisoner, was found to have a broken arm, sustaining injuries about the head also. Crusoe Smith was in a critical condition. He was shot in the breast aud stomach and his right arm was broken. Dale sufficiently recovered from the shock which he had sustained to take charge of Crusoe Smith and Jesse Jones. Two other men who took part in the shooting made their escape. When the train reached Careyville, the nearest railroad point off to Jacksboro, the deputy sheriff got with his two priso¬ ners to take them to the Jacksboro jail. The body of the shtriff was also taken off at Careyville JOT, M LYNCHED.

JUDGE DUBOSE TO BE TRIED. The Committee Recommends That Im¬ peachment Proceedings be Begun. Iu the Tennessee house of re presen ta- lires, Monday, the special committee of five appointed to investigate the charges against Judge Julius J. DuBose, of Shelby county, submitted its report which was to the effect that it was the committee’s opinion that the charges were sufficient for impeachment proceed¬ ings to be instituted.

Wheat is 2 1-2 cents lower,- with sales of 26,000,000 bushels, the government esti¬ mate of 185,000,000 bushel* in the farm¬ er^ hands, besides 79,000,000 bushels in visible supply, making it clear that a great sdrplUs would hate to be carried over next jilly. Heceipts at the west continue heavy, 1,700,000 bushels in four days this week, against less]than 400,000 exported. Corn is nearly a cent lower and pork products have declined a little. Yet the euorffioiis Strength uphold of speculative combi¬ nations to prices still prevents free movement of products abroad. Chicigo reports great demand for cur¬ rency in farming regions, active trade in merchandise, with satisfactory orders, but at St. Louis trade Is very heavy, es¬ pecially with the southwest, while lead is very strong, but flour mills are running half time. Cattle re¬ ceipts at Kansas City are lib¬ eral, the tone at Omaha is sanguine and collections are improved at St. Joseph. No improvement is seen at St. Paul, but trade at Denver and Little Rock is fair; at Atlanta and Montgomery fair. At Columbus collections are slow and money very tight, but at Mobile business is good. At New Orleans sugar is dull and rice not improved, with money firm but in ample supply. The iron industry shows improvement. Prices are steady, though extremely low, with less pressure to realize, and little more demand is seen for bar and plate iron and steel, while structural works are well employed, though not at better prices. Copper is steady, lead firm, at $3.90, but tin is a quarter lower. The shoe business is large. Cattle receipts at She west are smaller and bad weather or strikes, or fear of strike?, effect all railway movements to some extent. The business failures occurring throughout the country during last seven days number 220, as compared with 225 last week. For the corresponding week last year the figures were 240. WHAT BRADSTRBBT BATS. Bradstreet’s report says: The general trend of prices is downward. Cotton has been down 3-8 on the prolongation of the English strike and the liquidation of holders who felt the squeeze in money, but later in the week it recovered 1-4 cents due to purchases on speculative ac¬ count. Wheat shows a small gain and corn is no worse off. Foreign trade in the United States for the seventh month ended Jan. 31st was 5 per cent less iu value than in a like portion of 1891-’92, owing to a decrease in the value of ex¬ ports while importations, amounting to nearly 20 per cent, both free and dutia¬ ble, increased only 15 per cent. The fal¬ ling off in values of domestic exports is more than accounted for by the decreases in values of breadstuffs, cotton and other agricultural produce sent abroad. In interviews with Bradstreets leading financiers admit that the commercial dis¬ counts that are still greatly restricted, tight but claim while money is the abil¬ ity of commercial interests to resist the pressure remarkable and postpone it is unquestioned. borrowing is as as The interruption to trade west and northwest, due to unfaborable weather, high tinues. water and railroad blockades, con¬ and The exceptions are Chicago St. Louie, where leading staple lines are in excellent condition and the volume of transactions during February is larger than the total for that month in 1892. The surprising strength of the price of wheat in the face of the most bearish statistical position ever reported at a like season of the year is a tribute to the ability of the bull clique at Chicago, aided by the enormous short interest there. The stocks of wheat available here and abroad leave no doubt that the world’s reserves on July 1st next will be heavy. The United States is evidently able to export 6,000,000 bushels of wheat each week, flour included, for the re¬ mainder of the crop year, if required, hardly whereas thb weekly exports are more than 3,060. This week the total sent abroad, from both coasts, is 2,988,- 000 bushels, compared and with with 2,984,000 3,818,000 bushels last week bushels in the same week a year ago and 2,733,000 bushels two years ago. The general trade is dull in the province of Quebec. The wholesale trade through¬ out the province of Ontario is fairly sat¬ isfactory and prices generally firm except for graiD, which is dull. The spring this trade in Nova Scotia will be later year than last, as the interior is still cov¬ ered with ice and snow. SHEPARD TO HERBERT. The Colonel Dines the Sew Secretary of the Nary. Secretary of the Navy Herbert was en¬ tertained at a dinner Wednesday night by Col. Shepard. There were twenty- six guests at tbe dinner. It was private and there were no means of reporting tbe speeches, but the general tenor was cordial, hopeful and enthusiastic about the new secretary of the nary.

DISCRIMINATION IN RATES Will Probably Get the L. k N; hi Hot Water. A bill was filed in the United States circuit court at Nashville, Tenn., Mon¬ day by the interstate commission against the Louisville and Nashville railroad company charging that the said company was discriminating in its rates on coal shipments against Nashville, in favor of Memphis and other licalities, and thereby refusing to obey the orders of the said commission to conform its tariff rates with those laid down by said commission a year ago. A Menagerie for the Exposition. The British steamer Port Adalaide, ar¬ rived in New York Wednesday from China and Japan. She brought from Singapore, for tbe Columbian wild animals, exposition, a large collection of among which are three large elephants, a tiger, tiger oats, monkeys and several ourang- outangs. ■ Senator Morgan Has Recovered.
