The Florida legislature has a bill pending requiring all railroads in that state to fence both sides of their roads. It is now thought Dr. Arnold, of Albany, will bo appointed collector of internal revenues, for Georgin. Buck is backing him. And Buck is a bad one to buck agaiust. He seems to have the car of the administration. Spokane, the noted racing colt, 3 years old, beat Kentucky’s lavorite, Proctor Knott, yesterday, at Louisville, Ky. The Kentuckians who backed Knott got left. The track was very heavy on account of rain. Time, one and a quarter miles, 2:42 1-2. i ‘ The Constitution proposes that the new capitol in Atlanta be formally occupied with imposing ceremonies— ceremonies appropriate to the occasion, ceremonies befitting the splendid new capitol—when the legislature meets in July. The suggestion is a most happy and timely one, and we hope it will be carried out. Every citizen of Georgia has an interest in it. A Remarkable Law Suit. What is said tu be the final trial in the famous Myra Clark Caines suit against the city of New Orleans, took place in the United States Supreme Court yesterday. The heirs of Mrs. Gaines got a verdict for something over half a million.dollars.' This has been one of the most remarkable coses in the history of American juris-pru- dencc, Mrs. Gaines having brought the original suit iu 1834. Like little “Miss Fite,” she fought through all the courts, time and again. It was carried to the Supreme Court of the United States no less than five times. Mrs. Gaines died a few years since, literally iu legal harness, but the great suit went on. Secretary Rusk. The following special to the Consti tution shows that Secretary Rusk is making himself useful in Washington : Secretary Rusk has added another chaplet to his laurels as a praciical farmer. It will be recalled that a few days ago he astonished the employes of his department by taking a hand in mowing the lawn in front ol the build ing, but his latest exploit is a shade the For some time the white house has been infested with rats, and while the plumbing was being arranged this spring an unsuccesslul attempt was made to rid the executive mansion of the vermin. Secretary Rusk heard ot the trouble, and when the president and family left on their recent excur sion the secretary declared he had rid many a bam of rats, and he guessed he would try t shot at the white house. He sent over to the department and had the chemist mix up a horrible compound of phosphorous com meal and arsenic, and it was taken to the while house. Last night it was ap plied all about the building, and when the president returned this evening the employes had their hands lull car. rying away dead rats. Rusk is proud ot his rat poison, and says that a Wisconsin farmer ran do UP a high-priced plumber any day in clearing out vermin. Rats! Nfwnan, G.\., May 14.—The south half of this county was visited this afternoon with an infant cyclone, ac companied by hail, rain and wind, blowing down trees and fences. The extent of the damage is not known. The wind was moving trom the south- Important Railroad News. ^rTlifr stockholdsrs of the Georgia Improvement .‘Company met on Tues day uigKf and decided to transfer the Atlanta and Florida road, now run ning to Fort Valley, to the Americus Investment Company. This insuMs the completion of the line. Thomttsville is deeply interested in this move. Cnpt. E. P. Howell, in advocating the transfer, said: The system proposed by Colonel Hawkins and his friends will give Atlanta a route to Savunnah about thirty-six miles shorter than that ottered by the Central, and about one hundred miles the shortest route from Montgomery to .Savannah. It is also proposed to extend the system from Cordelc to Thomnsville and the gulf coast of Florida, making the system cover the capitals of three states when coupleted. The magnitude and im portance of such a scheme is apparent, and the benefits which would nccrue to Atlanta would be inestimable. If this programme is carried out—and I have no doubt that Colonel Hawkins stands ready to make good ol! he lias proposed—the system will be the grandest in the southern states, and its success would be beyond a doubt,” Col. Hawkins said: “Why, before the people down in my section of the country built and equipped the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin road, we were absolutely bottled up, but now we have an outlet to deep water and with flic building of a few miles of road, Atlanta will also enjoy the inestimable benefits of an independent route to the seaboard.” Colonel Hawkins closed his talk by saying that the building of fourteen miles of road would connect the At lanta and Florida with his road at Cordelc, giving Atlanta the desired outlet to deep water, and assured the meeting that lie would do all iu iiis power to push the work through. Here is Thomasville’s golden oppor tunity. To have an independent.con nection with this system, which taps Atlanta, Chattanooga, Macon, Athens, Montgomery, Savannah and other points, will put Tliomasvillc ou a foundation as solid aud impregnable as Gibraltar. Rain and Snow in Dakota. St. Pa 11,, May 14.—Specials from various joints in Minnesota and Da kota give accounts of a heavy rain and snowfall to-day. In many places the ground was parched and the streets aud roadsjike ashes, and crops have suffered, but the present rainfall will save the crops. A White Murderess. The principal kceperof the peniten tial y has received form Dade county and sent to the Gravsville camp, Gal lic Bush, a white girl 17 years old, who was convicted of manslaughter aud sentenced to fifteen vears impris onment. This is thconly white woman in the penitentiary; there ^is a strong feeling that some provision should be made by the governor or legislature that would prevent so young a female criminal being kept in a camp of negro convicts. The governor recently ^solved a similar problem by pardon ing the only white woman then in the penitentiary, to which course lie was moved by numerous urgent petitions. . Guns for Valdosta. Atlanta, May *4.— A lot of splen did new guns were shipped by the ad jutant-general this morning to the Val dosta Cadets. The Cadets is a new company and Col. Kell also forwarded the officeis’ commissions to-day. Doomed to Die by Electricity. Buffalo, N. Y. May 14.—Wil liam Kemuiler, who is convicted of murder iu the first degree lor the killing of his mistress, Tillie Ziegler, was to-day sentenced to suffer punish ment of death, to be inflicted by ap plication of electricity, within the week commencing ou Monday, June 24. This is the first death sentence under the new law. Danville, Va., May 14th.—A tcrriffic storm prevailed here this afternoon.

WAR TIME SEIZURES. Individuals Cannot be Held Financially Liable. Washington, May 13.—The su preme court to-day affirmed, with costs, the judgment of the supreme court of appeals of the state of West Virginia, in the wise of David Free man, plaintiff in error, vs. Joseph V. Williams. This decision is one ot some importance, ns the court holds that parties cannot he held liable for seizures of property committed ns acts of warfare during the recent war be tween the stntfs. Judgment was secured in one of the state courts for cattle .-ciz ire by troops under Filzhugh I-ee, of the confederate army. A bill of chancery was thereupon .filed to arrest the enforcement of this judg ment under the provision of the con stitution of West Virginia, declaring that no persons on either side shall be liable for acts of legitimate warfare. The court below enjoined the judg ment obtained, and this court affirms that ruling. This opinion is by Jus tice Miller, Justice Ilarland dissenting. The Southern Problem. In his "Men and Measures of Half a Century,” Hugh McCollough, Mr. Arthur’s Secretary of the Treasury, delivers the following glowing tribute to the Southern people, as appears from the New York Voice : ••By no people under the sun were they excelled in bravery and tn devo tion to w'lat they considered their rights; bv none were they equaled in the steadfast cheerfulness with which they endured protracted hardships and deprivations. I may go further. No people dtteated in a cause which they had at heart ever behaved belter than they did when the war was over.” And he add, still more significantly: ••The bad spirit afterwards engen dered (between the two sections) was the work of those whose faces had not been seen upon the battleground. The same men who in our large cities regard with apprehension the increas ing power which is yielded In munic ipal elections by those who have no property to be protected or taxed manifest little sympathy for the white people'of the south in their efforts to prevent the political control not only of their cities, but ol their States, from passing into the hands of those who have little or no property and are quite unfi' for the exercise of sovereign authority.” New York’s Death Machines. New York, May 8.—Upon the final conviction and sentence of the first person guilty of murder commit ted nftet the 1st of last Jauuary, the state will be ready to execute the murderer without delay. The elec trical apparatus has keen bought, and will be erected in each of the three state prisons—Auburn, Clinton nnd Sing Sing—iu a few dflys. Gen. Austin Lathrop, superintendent of state prisons, closed the trade with Harold P. Brown, the electrician ot this citv, at Albany yesterday. The cost will be about 88,000, 82,000 less than the state appropriated. Mr. Brown sold to the state three West- inghouse dynamos. These produce what is known as the “alternating” current, in contradistinction . to the “continuous” and “pulsating” currents. They are dynamos which were made lor electric" lighting, and have each a pressure of 1,000 “volts.” It has been demonstrated that the alternating current will kill at 140 volts. In addition to n Wcstinghouse dynamo, erteh prison will require an ‘-‘exciter,” to be used as an auxiliary to the dynamo; a strong oaken chair, in which the convict is to sit and be killed, an electrical cap and electrical shoes. The electrical cap is made of metal, covere 1 with sponge, which is saturated with salt water before being put on the convict’s head. When it is on it is called an “electrode,” and the other “electrode” to be put on the convict’s feet is a heavy pair of tightly laced shoes with sponge inside. A wire under tbo oaken chair is con nected with his shoes and cap, the< warden of the prison closes the “cir cuit” for fifteen seconds, and all b over with the coaviet. The news that three of their dynamos have been sold by Mr. Brown to the state will be a surprise to the Westiughouse people. They have stoutly contended that their electric .lighting system did uot kill, and the contests between them aud Mr. Brown on that point have been widely published in the papers. At a meeting iu Chicago last Jamiury of the electric companies using the ‘alternating current,” a resolution was adopted declaring that no company should allow a current in its control to be used tor the “igno ble purpose” of executing murderers. Oue of the dynamos is already on its way to Auburn ; those for Clinton nnd Sing Sing have uot started yet. eTo.
