The Cf> ance9 Are that on Account Of A
Lack of Time It Will Fall-Lively
Tlltaln the House--This Is the
Last day of the Session.
itiaMA. Ga., Oct. 13 —[Sp'-clal.] —
SjUH , time since Mr. Huff, of Bibb, in*
twlnced a bill into the General Assem
Mv. providing for the estab'ishmeut at
jjoi k College in this city of a Normal
College.
The obj' et of the bill was to furnish
fgciliiie- for the better training of
Georgia teachers, and it at
0B ce commended its-elf to the wisdom
0 f the legislature.
iiut me press of business has so di
verted attention from it, until it came
up today on the ragged edge of the ses
sion.
Without much discussion it passed
the House and will goat once to the
Senate.
ft i- believed that it would pass and
btc. tne a law if there was sufficient
time left to get it through the Senate,
but i! look.- now as if in the rush of bus-
in. s-, it " ill not pass.
It$ friends are pushing it
f oi - all >t is worth, however.
Th,. House considered today the bill
to extend the powers of the Railroad
Ct mini—ion over express, telegraph
ID .l sleeping car companies. The bill
cine back to the House with the Sen-
tic amendment-, which struck sleeping
cars out of ti e bill.
When it came up this morning Air.
Fleiuii g -poke against concurrence in
ibc Senate amendment. He thought
that if 1 be 1 xpress and telegraph com
panies should go under the commission
there were ten rea-ons to one why the
sleeping ear companies should be unde>
the -ame ci nunission. In advocating
his position, Mi Fleming took occasion
to call attention 10 some ol
the acts of the sleeping-
car eompnnii s.
Iledeear.il it an outrage that the
Seeping Car Companies should insist
c i letting -low n the upper berths when
to*y bid no • ivu’ouits. He referred to
tin- l.uc that tlm Georgia road and Cell
tral toad ih ii’t impose on their pas*eu-
g.-r-ii. 1 hi. w:.y and thought the Pull
rnriand oti er sleeping ear companie-
tV.iLi l e io-*rui ted in like manner.
Mr. I' lv - of Iturke,supported the sen
nieion"ndiiu‘nt He thought ;! r.tthc
I. g'-'Htme might li**lp Mr. Fleming
oii'li. pas-ing a bill on the subject o’
upper oeitli, hut he didn’t believe in
tin iiinberiiig the commission with any
Dto'.. work
Mr Ui odwin argued with Mr. Flem
lint— bai if tin* house was determined
to pass the bill sleeping cers should re-
nimi in it. A ,
Hut the house thought the senate wa-
riiiiit. and concurred in the sinetid-
m m So telegraph companies and ex
p’r-s companies now go under the com-
mi—ion.
FOB SIIOKT SESSIONS
The two bill-, one providing for a sp
day -e—ion, the other for annual sea
Sion, came up in the Senate today but
the light on tln-m goi-s over until to
morrow. A strong light will be made
on then', both, but as they provide for
subuus-ion of the matter to the people,
they win, it is thought pass. The
Senate passed the bill appropriating
$1.00(1 to complete the foster of Coufed-
er.tie soldiers, passed after considera

A FURIOUS G/aLE.
A STORM RAGING OVER ENGLAND,
IRELAND AND SCOTLAND.
GREAT DAMAGE BEING DONE.

Wrecked on the Coasts— he
Storm Carries Away Chimneys
and Tiles From the Roofs of
Dwellings—Damage at
Helensburg.
London, Oct. 14.-The furious gala
which has been raging over ali England
Ireland, and the ttmth of 3cotlaud for
over twenty-four Ifours, and which has
already caused avast amount of damage
abont the seaside towns, and which has
wrecked a large number of vessels, con
tinues in all its intensity.
Chimneys aud tiles were carried ev
erywhere from the roofs of private
dwellings, and out-houses of wood
washed down as if built of canU. Pe-
destriauisiu during the height of the
storm was utterly impossible, and traf
fic by rail or water was almost brought
to a stand stilL
At Falkstou«, one of the great land
ing places the trans-channel steamers,
throughout the night a sea swept a
great pier with immense wakes carry
ing away all the lighter portions of
the structure and threatening to wrench
away its most powerful supports. The
light house at its extremity was deluged
by angry waters and it was even feared
that it might be swept from its found
ations.
The channel passenger boats were
unable to cross at night, and to those
who know weather these vessels ven
ture ont in, this gives some idea of
the severity of the storm which pre
vailed.
At Helensbrfrg, a watering place on
the Firth of Clude, at the entrance of
Gareloch, near Dumbarton, Scotland,
fishing and other boats which have been
drawn up on the beach at the first ap
proach of the galo were carried along
by the furious waves which poured into
the streets, flooding houses and driving
the inmates from their homes, many es
caping through windows, so little warn*
Ing was given of the inundation.

Nkw York, Oct. 13.—John Hoey, the
president of the Adauis Express com
pany, has lieeu removed from his posi
tion as president aud trustee by the
unanimous vote of a full board of man
agers.
Mr. Hoey was charged with malfeas
ance in office. Clapp bpooner, the vice
president ot the company, tendered his
resignation, whicu was accepted.
The dismissal of President Hoey is

used i.is influence to secure the pur
chase by the Adams Express compauy
of the stock of the Boston Despatch
company, whereby he. Mr. Spooner and
Mr. E. A. Taft got $350,000 for stock.
That cost them but $i:!0,000.

the compuuy thirty years, beginning as
messenger. He is believed to be very
wealthy, and is noted for lavish hospi
tality at his Long Brauch mansion.
A. It- Cavender. Dead.
Chicago, Oct. 13.—A. B. Cavender,
a prominent member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, has died
at his home in this city, of pneumonia.
He was forty-five years old, aud was
the first second grand chief of the
Bothurhood. The Richmond conven
tion selected him to settle the famous
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy strike,
after Arthur, iloge ana others had
failed, and he performed the task suc
cessfully in four days after undertaking
it. At t hat lime Mr. Cavender was in
the employ of the Southern Pacitic road,
at Oakland, Cai., but he afterward lie-
cam,- connected with a railway supply
house, with headquarters at Chicago.

Illegal DUtlllrriefl Torn Up
Violators Caught.
Jonesboro. Ga., Oct. 14.—The reve
nue men made quite a successful raid
in the couuty, and, as a result, three
illegal distilleries have been torn up
nad six violators of the revenue laws
t-iken to Atlanta under the escort of
Uncle Sam’s offices.
It seems that informqtien had been
received at the deputy, collector’s office
in Atlanta that Clayton county was in
fected with moonshiners, and a party
of officers came down to hunt them up.
They at once spied evidences of moon
shiners work, und kept <a close watch
for a short while, when they were re
warded by seeing an old negro driving
a team into the woods.
On following him they found the
place where the corn juice was being
made. Alter capturing bim they se
emed enough ri formation to warrant
further search, and they soon sncceeded
iu finding two more distilldries and ar
resting quite a sound of violators.
Those arrested are Rufus Johnson and
his two sons. Riffin and Clarence, and
*-is brother-in-law McKinley *and tho
two negroes, Simon aud Bob P. Turnip-
seed.
1 In- Famine - Stricken People.
St. Petersburg, Oct, 14.—Rev. Mr.
Francis of tho Anglo-American church
in this city, has returned here from tho
famine-stricken districts of the govern-
ments of Tuinbuloff, Nipi-Novgorod and
Kasun. Mr. Francis gives a most dis
tressing account of the misery he wit
nessed in those places, and says that he
was much touched with the Christian
resignation of the peasants, and with
the noble efforts made by the landlords
to alleviate the suffering of the peasant
ry. Mr. Francis has made an appeal to *
bis parishioners and to their compatri
ots to subscribe in a manner to show
that their offering are worthy the re
sponse to the Russian offerings made
during the great Irish famine.
Commlmloner Ford’s Answer.
Nashville, Oct. 14.—The answer of
George W. Ford, state labor commis
sioner, to the bill filed by J. E. Good
win, sub-lessee ot convicts at Brioeville,
in which Goodwin seeks to have Ford
removed from office by quo warranto
E roceedings has been filed. Ford al
lies that the requirement of the old
law that the mine inspector shall have
five years’ experience was repealed by
the new law. He declares that the al
legations in the bill in reference to his
report on the Briceville mines, injuring
re’ator, is impertinent, but if it did in-
ju-e the relator it was the truth of the
report that did it, and that in prepar
ing said report he had the aid of the
assistant commissioner, a miner of long
experience. v
National Hanks Organised.
Washington, Oct. 14.—The controller
of currency’s report will show that from
October 1. 1890, to September 80,1891,
there were 214 national banks organized
with a capital of $28,400,000. Last year
the total number of banks organized
was 807, with a capital of $30,280,000.
This shows a big failing off. and seems
to indicate that the nationalfbanking
system is losing ground.

Glasgow, Ky.. Oct. 14.—James R..
Stafford was convicted in the circuit
court here of horse stealing, aud given
eight years in the penitentiary. Staf
ford was captured in Hartsville, Tenn.,
just oue year ago, aud has been in jail
ncre ever since.
To Survey the Great Lukes.
Washington, Oct. 33.—The govern
ment is abont to begin the work of hy
drographic surveys for the preparation
of charts of the Great Lakes. While
the hydrographic office of the navy de
partment is constantly studying and
making charts of the sea, nothing of the
6ort has been done in connection with
lake navigation, the reason being that
the treaty which prohibits a naval es
tablishment on the lakes deprives the
navy department of any active interest
in the lake navigation. In view of the
importance of the lake commerce, it has
become very desirable 'to have charts
showing the currents, shoals and loca
tion of wrecks on the Great Lakes. The
weather bureau has sent Dr. H. C. Pen-
rod to Cleveland to establish a hydro-
graphic office of this work.
Many Negroes Mangled.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 12.—At Ens-
l«y C.ty a tear fix 1-1 n.» as ,i s! o. •
apartment #»r laborers was standing on
a side track. In the car were six ne
groes and some blasting powder which
they had been tising at tpeir work. A
I spark from a passing engine fell into
the car and into the powder, which ex-
j ploded with terrific force, shattering
the car aud mangliug all the negro, a
except one. who escaped with a slight
burn. The following are the dead:
8nm Williams aud John Jones. Orange
Plumber and Frank Neilly ore dying.
And m Fight Ensued.
Middlesbokough, Ky..Oct. 18.—Con
siderable excitement prevailed at the
Middlesborough hotel, and especially
iu room 101. Some weeks ago B. Spiro’s
warehouse was burned to the ground.
A complete settlement by the insurance
companies had not been made, and on
Friday last Mr. James W. Powell, in
surance adjuster, from. Lexington,
came to this city to make final settle
ment with Spiro. The two men were
in Powell’s room at the hotel discuss
ing the matter, Spiro wanting $0,000
for his losses and. Powell offeritig him
$4,000. Finally Spiro, believing Powell
had insinuated something distaste
ful, called him a hard name. A
fight ensued. Spiro picked up the
small table, and wanted to brain Pow
ell, who dodged the blow, and finally
knocked Spiro down, punishing bim
terribly. Powell was put under arrest
and is obliged to remain iu town, as
Spiro insists upon a trial by jury.

Selecting Sec«l Corn.
Tlie yield of ewni can be greatly im
proved by the careful selection of seed

harvested, going through the field and

to have two or more well formed ears
When the corn is rq • enough to cut

IN THE LEGISLATURE.
A SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14.—[Special.]—
Thfi last dpy but one in the Legisla
ture—the last working day—has come
and gone and soon this Legislature
shall have passed into history.
The majority of this Legislature were
elected ou a short session, small appro
priations and lower tax rate platform
and they go back home with a record of
unbroken failure so far as that plat
form is concerned. It is fair to believe,
therefore, that the next General As
sembly will show as great a a percent
age of change as did this one for, fora
great many of the gentlemen in the
present Assembly will find it hard work
explaining the why of it all. Of course
this doesn’t apply to all, for tber^ has
been at leasts big majority who have
made records they can stand on.
THE LEASE QUESTION.
The lease question come up in the
Hqpse this morning. Mr. Berner sub
in it ted the majority report. Mr. Huff
submitted a miuority report on which
be takes his s and that it is against the
public policy of the state to interfere
with the. various roads and disagrees
with the majority as to the legality of
the same. Mr Berner moved that three
hundred copies of both be printed for
the use of the public. This carried and
the matter was settled so far as this
legislature is concerned.
THE OCALA PI.ATEOBM SPRUNG.
The Ocala plattorm wa3 tackled by
the House today, and there was con
siderable k’ckiugand squirming.
Mr. Barrett, of Pike who is a big al
liance leader and a strong man, started
things going by asking unanimous con
sent to consider the resolution. He
couldn’t get the unanimous consent, so
he moved to suspend the rules.
When the ayes aud nays wero called,
there were many explanations.
Dr. Chappell said as an allianceman
and a Georgia legislator, he believed
the consideration of the Ocala platform
out of place in the legislature, and he
voted no.
Mi*jor Ryals said he had voted to con
sider the matter earlier in the session,
but now be believed there was more
important business ahead, aud he voted
no.
And so ; it went on. The vote to sus
pend the rules was 81 to t>h, but a three-
fourtbs vote is required, and there was
cheering when the announcement was
made that the boys did not have to go
on record.
A SPEAKERSHIP BABY.
At this point Mr. Flemiug introduced
a resolution that was adopted unaui
mously, and with applause. Here it is:
Whereas, information has just been
received from Augusta that Hon. Clark
Howell is the happy father of a new
baby; therefore be it
Resolved, That the House do hereby
endorse the fourth party and wish her
all the happiness iu life.
The Ocala platform was fought over
at the afternoon session as well as at
the morning, and tomorrow morning it
will come up again.
Today it was the signal for the liveli
est kind of parliamentary fight. In
the efforts of its friends to bring if be
lore the House at tbe afternoon session
Mr. Sibley succeeded in getting it read.
There was a fight oyer it, and finally
it was sent to the committee of the
whole. -That committee, after a load of
substitutes bad beeiy offered, reported
progress and asked leave to sit again.
Tbe resolution comes np therefore
tomorrow mori.inc, and will probably
consume most of the time. The Ocal-
atesare in the majority.
A Woman Standing In Front of the
United States Courthouse Fires
Three Shots From a Revolver
at Two Men Who Were
Only a Short Distance
From Her.
Birmingham, Ala., OoL 13.—A sensa
tional but bloodless street shooting oc
curred here in front of the United
States court house. Mrs. Fannie Hoff
man, postmistress at Coalburg, Mr. J.
T. Hill, the manager of the Sloes Iron
and Steel Co., aud Deputy Marshal Scho-
enfeld, were standing in the street when
Mrs. Hoffman opened fire on them, fir
ing three shots.
She'was within three feet of the men,
but none of the balls took effect. A po
lice arrested her and took tho pistol
from her, bnt she immediately reached
into a large basket which she carried,
and drew another large gun.
She resisted arrest and created a sen
sation by yelling while being taken to
jail. She was afterwards released on a
$200 bond.
Mrs. Hoffman has been regarded as
eccentric for several days. The trial of
Hill and other prominent Coal berg citi
zens has been going on in tbe United
States court. She had them arrested on
the charge of impeding her in the dis
charge of her dnties as postmistress.
She says Schoenfield and Hill were con
spiring to defame her character, and
she tried to kill them.
A Champaign, Ills., special says: A
shooting affair occurred here between
12 and 1 o’clock a. m. on the corner of
Clark and Fourth streets, iu which
Daniel Benner shot and killed a man
named Yoorhees and wcunde l another
nnmed Creque. The murderer is still
at large, bnt the authorities luive wired
to the neighboring towns for his appre
hension.
At Yankton, S. D.. Judge White ren
dered a decision affecting the validity
bf the state banking law. He holds
that the law denying the business of
discounting paper, buying exchange
loaning money or receiving deposits to
private individuals and conferring these
rights exclusively on corporations is un
constitutional. The state has appealed
to the supreme court. Should tne law
be sustained a great number of private
banks will be driveu out of the state.

Rnssian convicts who were working on

Two were shot down, but fourteen got
away. These killed th«ee inmates of a

French officer was killed for the same
reason, and a Russian band master re
turning from the funeral of an officer,
was also killed and his body stripped.
At latest accounts none of tbe convicts
had been recaptured.

Woman Darned to Death.
Wabash, Ind., Oct. 14. —The wife of
John D. Martin, a merchant at Pleas-

death. Her husband was in the store
at the time, and was attracted to the
honse by the screams of his wife. She
was lying upon the floor, her clothing
burned entirely off, and was utterly un

hours before death arrived. Her aunt,
Mrs. Hedger, was burned to death in
much the same way three years ago.
