ATHENS BANKER s TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20 1891 XHENOKMAL COLLEGE- THE BILL creating it passes T the house aN I) GOES TO T1IE SENATE. 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.

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 ble discussion. SKNATK BILLS l’ASSKl) 1 UK UOl'SK.

A STORM RAGING OVER ENGLAND, IRELAND AND SCOTLAND. GREAT DAMAGE BEING DONE. largo Number of Vessels Are 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.

Mr. Hoey was charged with malfeas ance in office. Clapp bpooner, the vice president ot the company, tendered his resignation, whicu was accepted.

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.

Texas is 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. He Stole a Home 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.

Tlie yield of ewni can be greatly im proved by the careful selection of seed it should lie done before the corn it harvested, going through the field and tying a red string lo stalks that promise to have two or more well formed ears When the corn is rq • enough to cut save such stalks by themselves, anil when husked lake the best of the tw ears. Iti this way varieties will b formed whose tendency will be to Itear two good eurson a stalk.

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. SHE OPENED IFIRE. IN A TYPHOON.

Sept. 14, sixteen Rnssian convicts who were working on the new railway, attempted to escape. Two were shot down, but fourteen got away. These killed th«ee inmates of a farm honse to obtain clothing. 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. GYPSY CHIEF’S SON DIES. JESSE THOMPSON a CO., M ANU F ACTURERSj DOORS. SASH. BLINDS.

Champaign, Bis., Oct. 14.—The fact has developed that Daniel Renner of Tnsoola, Bis., is a doable murderer.
