Jo. BOMB FOR JOSEPH. Attempt Upon the Life of the Impe rial Traveler. Vienna. Oct 1.—Emperor Francis Joxqiu arrived safely at R»icht*borg, iwu Prague, and witu hia advent news oft:ie nilt'E'od attempt ui>on tne life of tirmqeiiAl traveler spread all over iu-tnn. The general opinion is that tbr startling news circulating is either tmri.e or else exaggerated to a consid- wide extent, but it has caused a great nutation in spite of the doubts tlurown ni*»n tbe statement. Tbr story in brief is about its follows: Dtiring the night, it appears, an at- fcmp! was made with a dynamite bomb ct otter bomb, loaded with high explo res. to mow up the tailroad bridge at l.wuthal. a suburb of Rcicheberg. Tus outrage is said to have occurred (brtly Mm a tiie emperor’s train, at in early hour, practically during the night, was to pass ovt-r the bridge meu- It'uetl. Some railroad watchmen, it is •aii, saw the womb-lie assassius they -.veie u|R,n the point of attaching “'•boiuh to the bridge structure, aud iy ,ii pearing upon the sceue frustrated tbr;r design. Tli railroad officials who have cir- cnlited this alarming story have not as Jetexi'laiued whether the men suppeeed *“ ' ' engaged in tins outrage l« have U intended to destroy the bridge as the Enperia! train was approaching it or wl.eih-r it was the alleged assassin’s done to wait untii tne euipcror’s train * 4 ' tiie bridge, in yet it is of intereet to read concerning that which impressed each one most deeply. Miss Millie Rutherford in speaking of the beautiful sights seen in tbe old world on this tour, said: “It is lm possible to answer iu one word, for the beauty of Lake Como and the Bay of Naples, tbe awfulness of Vesuvius, the grandeur of the Simplon Pass, the love liness of the Vaie of Chamouniz, and the horrors of the Sk&ger Rach and Categat are equally prominent in in my memory; but if you wish simp ly to know the one thing which intercs ted me most, I must decide between the Palace of Peace,” one of the homes of Christian IX. of Denmark and the * ‘Dickens Day” in London. We visited the Palace in Copenhagen just a few days before tbe home gath- ing of its inmates. An air of peace and love reigned throughout it. Tbe Princess of Wales had scratched her name upon the windows of her room, aud left some loviug farewell words when she went to her English home. Marie Dagmar when h aving to go with her husband,the Czar of Russia, nad scratched upon the panes of glass in her room, “Oh, Denmark!, loved Denmark!” and King Ueorge, whose pet name m the family is “Willy” had his own and hi- wife’s name, Olga, cut into the glass in his room with some loving words of remembrance. The whole palace impressed me as a home and made me feel for tbe lirst time that there was some heart in royalty after all. As regards literary interest the “Day with Charles Dickens’ Characters” is without a parallel. I hope soon to let others know how to enjoy as we did this day in London.” Mr. Tom Gerdine, who made quite au extensive tour of tbe continent, was high iu his praises of many scenes that passed before him, and said that he could hardly tell what did impress him I follows * most deeply, so many and varied were Section the attractions that presented them- 1 selves. However, he was of tbe opinion that the grandest aud most impressive ob jects to be seen iu Europe are tbe Alps of Switzerland and Italy. Words fail to describe their beauty .1. fl>ai«• «. mmioet.tr fht.ii Mr. Smith, of Decatur, made a abort speech iu advocacy of bis substitute. He believed that tbe Farmers’ sub stitute did not cover tbe ground neces sary, a .d hoped it would not pass. Mr. Twitty, of Jackson, called the previous question, which was sustained. Mr. Hill, of Meriwether, *3 chairman of the committee who reported favora bly on the Berner bill, was allowed twenty minutes to, conclude the argu ment. ' V# Mr. Berner said considering the fact that about six opponents of the bill had been allowed to speak against the bill, and the house had called tbe previous question without allowing but one or two of the advocates to be heard, he moved that Mr. Hill’s time be extend ed. There was some objection at first, but it was finally withdrawn, and Mr. Hill proceeded with his argument. He spoke for over an hour and a half, and it was recognized as one of the ablest aud most patriotic speeches that has ever been delivered upon tbe floor of the house. The vote on the Farmers’ substi tute was then taken, and it was lost by a vote of 74 to 77. The vote on the Smith substitute was tbeu had and resulted in a vote of 90 in favor to Cl against. The Smith bill was then adopted by an aye aud nay vote of 90 to 63. This passes the Smith substitute in lieu of all other bills, whioh is substan tially tbe same as the Berner bill.

The fight on the Berner bill was a long, hard fight and ended yesterday in the adoption of tbe Smith substitute which is almost exactly the Berner sub stitute. The r&itroad men didn’t like this at all, seeing that the bill adopted was no milder than the Berner substitute. So they pulled their forces together for a last grand rush on the batteries of the anti-monopolists. And that grand charge in the shape a motion to reconsider met with a signal failure this morning. As was expected, a motion ito recon sider the Berner bill was made this morning. 'Mr. Huff, of Bibb, spoke as follows, after making the motion to reconsider the bill: “I have been in the legislature of Georgia for six years, and this is the first time I ever made a motion to re consider, and I do so now because this should receive the complete and abso lute attention of the house, and should be discussed thoroughly and entirely. If any subject is important it de mands absolute and entire discussion, and this is one of .the most important measures that has been brought be fore the house in a long time. I be lieve a measure so important as this should, if neccesary, receive three week’s discussion instead of three days. He then proceeded to attack the line of speech made by Hill, of Meriwether, saying it would do for a court house, but it was not the kind of speech that should be used in the Georgia legisla ture. In the course of his remarks he said that if the railroads would not give just rates, let the railroad commission run them down and crush the railroads out. Mr. Berner took issue with him on that, and said that when the aailroads were right he was with them, and it was unconstitutional to try and crush out any industry, and his bill asked for no such legislation—all he wanted was just competition. Mr. Hufi asked if local rates were not now low enough; and when Mr. Bern er answered that he did not know, the gentleman from Bibb seemed to think be had gained a great victory. When he had finished Mr. Berner made a forcible and eloquent speech against reconsideration. He said that the wires were now hot with news that the Georgia legislature had taken a stand agaiust monoyoly and combines, and asked if they would stand by their actions yesterday like men, or turn cowards today. He moved that the motion to recon sider belaid on the table. Mr. Hill, of Meriwether, called for the ayes and nays, which was sustained The vote to table the motion to re consider, was ayes, 76, nays 70. Mr. Smith, of Decatur, was excused from voting. _ . . ..... Tbe eyes of the people of Georgia are now turned upon the Senate. Will the Senate pass the Smith bill?” was aBked of a leading Senator this morning. “Yes,” he replied, “and pass it in a gallop.

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 2.—The most distrous tire that has visited Halifax for y ;axA broke out before 11 o’clock p. m., in the Merlin planing' mill, on < Tay lor’s wharf, near the Cunard wharves. In a few minntes the place was all ablaze End the fire spread rapidly. A breeze from the north carried showers of live sparks +o the buildings, vessels and wharves sonth of the fire. The whole department was called out, and then the engines from Dartmouth came over to render asshutanoe. Within an hoar Merlin's mill. Wil son’s blacksmith shop, John Taylor & Co.’s big fish warehouse, filled with pickled fish, Brookfield Bro.’s lujnber wharf and yards, all on Taylor's and BrockVeld's wharves, were destroyed.

Neilly & Co., commission merchants, and 8hortford Bros., oil stores. Large quantities of petroleum were stord on this wharf, and an explosion was prevented by rolling oil into the dock. The fire also spread simultan eously to the south of the wharf and soon tbe immense fish warehouse of John Toylor & Co., were a prey to the flames. By 2 o’clock the whole block from John Cronin’s, 011 the south, to the north side of Hamilton’s wharf, on t]ie north, almost adjoining the Cunard wharves, hud been destroyed. A score of schooners at the burning wharves and tho.e to the north were sufelv moved out into the baibor.
