To day was a dull day in the house. . Nothing ol importance came up for consideration. The fact is that many of the members ane out of the city attending to other business and there was barely a quorum present. There was one bill passed which was of little more than local interest and that was the bill incorporating the 4th Georgia Regiment, which is to be com posed of ten South Georgia companies. The bill was introduced by Mr, Woot- one of Dougherty. The regiment is I between named in honor of the old war regiment ] America, which was formed in that section of Georgia, and will consist of companies from Dawson, Talbotton, Milledgeville, Fort Gaines, Albany, Brunswick;. Way- cross, Valdosta and other South Geor gia towns. The routine work was the reading of bouse bills the third time but in view of the small attendance a motion wasmade to suspend the rules and read house bill, a second time, and senate bills for the first time. This was kept up for some time until unanimous consent was asked te let all members having new hills to introduce, send them to the clerk’s desk. This was granted, and about a dozen local hills were sent in, and read the first time, after which the house adjourned. There is still a delay seemingly on the part of the senate in the matter of the the hotel attaches, who wondered.

London, July 25.—The Times con firms the story of the mutiny of the Cold Stream Guards.

A SAD STORY. A Sensation That Came Near Re sulting Seriously—A Negro Aids her to make Good her Escape —A Startling Statement. A young girl only sixteen years old. Fleeing from a cruel and abusive hus band. That is what created a sensation on the streets, of Athens last night. About twelve o’clock loud voices on. Jackson street indicated that something was up, and the Banner reporter has tened to investigate. He found quite a number of white men talking in an excited manner, and vowing if they caught a certain negro they would hang him. They Baid that a negro had been in company with young white girl about sixteen years old yesterday afternoon on the Georgia traip, that be paid her fare, and when the train arrived in Ath ens carried her off. The young girl happened to he in deep trouble, and later in the night was found with th8 same negro near the upper bridge. They subsequently disappeared and thes men had been hunting the negro all night. The police were seen and the true facts were obtained. They did not know the maiden name of the young girl, but knew that she came from Joakson county. They bad been notified of her being carried off from the Georgia road train by the negro and were running him down. They found tbe negro and the young girl, and she told them a sad story. Last March she marriod a man, who lives in A thens, and whose name com municated in confidence cannot be pub lished today.. She ran away from home in Jackson county and married against the wishes of her mother. Her husband has never provided for her and has frequently abused and beaten her. Last Tuesday she determined to make good her escape, and was sent off to Decatur by. a friend. She was placed in charge of a reliable negro, who went with her. She came back last night on the Geor gia train, and this is the way in which the attention of people in the car was attracted.

U. White is dead. Early yesterday morning just before day break, his wife missed him in his room and began to search for him. Out under a small shed in the rear of thehouse her horrified fgaze soon rested upon the body of her husband as t hung suspended from the rafters. He had committed suicide. The news spreadirapidly and several neighbors were soon upon the scenes^ The body was cut down and gently re moved to his house, on the corner of Jaokson and Washington streets, .where it was placed upon a bed. Then came many surmises as to the manner of his death. The rope was tied over a rafter and the deceased had evidently mounted a tub and then kicked it from nnder him self. . Death had resulted from strangula tion. He was found shortly after the commission of the deed, and the body was not cold. Life, however, was ex tinct, and the well known gentleman Was dead. The general opinion seems to be that the deed was committed by Mr. White while delirious, and that it was in no wtfy a premeditated affair. For several days, he had been,suffer ing from an attack of fever and at times would be violently delirious. The night before the commission of the deed, Mr. White’s condition grew vorse. He was delirious and recog nized nothing. Early yesterday morning he. got up and went out of the room. His wife soon missed him and wen tout to look for him, finding his corpse in. the shed behind the house. A coroner’s jury was empanelled to consider the case, and several witnesses were intro- i-! duced. They related all they knew concern ing Mr. White’s condition of health and mind, tbe manner in which bis body was found, and the instruments of death that he used. Dr. Goss, who had been attending' Mr. White, testified before the jury. He said that Mr. White’s condition was such that he might have, become deliriousatany time, and that in suqh a moment he probably committed the deed. He had known Mr. White for many years and knew him to he a sober man, of pleasant bearing, and cheerful na ture. The jury, in aceordianco with the above facts returned this verdict: “We, the coroner’s, jury, have exa mined the witnesses and find from the evidence that W. ¥. White came to his # death by hanging and that he did the deed with his own. hands, and that the act was committed during a temporary tell of insanity.” ,r.

A KANSAS SCHEME ; V Recently ^Inaugurated That Will Befti Close Investigation. Topeka, July 25.—In southern Kan sas there has been lately inaugurated a financial scheme that will at least heal .close investigation. Bond companies have worked most of the towns and dtias. The plan is to sell a bobdtd $1,000 for $10 down and a monthly as sessment of $1.50 on each member. Aa fast as there is money enough in the treasury the holders are paid in the or der in which the notes were issued and they drop out. The scheme ia to add so rapidly to tbe number of members that no one will at most pay more than $400 or $500. Already a bond-has been paid, the holder of which hadpaid in bat $20. He received hfe full $1{000 and dropped out. The originators of the scheme are considered honest men and have a belief, that it will last, bat they do no^seem to consider where the men comprising the latter half will gpt their money. Several prominent men in this city have been approached, their names being de sired, but bo far they have refused-to-ao- cept the bonds, althongh they were .of fered bonds free r evidently the purpose being to pay them out in full for adver tising purposes.
