Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 5.—[Special.]—
Yesterday the Atlanta Rubber compa
ny gave a promissory noa to the New
York Belting and Packing company.
The note wns payable at one day’
sight-. This morning a mortgage for
$24,090,59 was given to cover the note.
Tomorrow the mortgage will be fore-
cl sed by Mayson & Hill, attorneys for
the New York company.
This means that tbe Atlanta Rubber
company has gone to the wall.
The mortgage given the New York
c ortpany is s second one, tbe first being
for $2.500, and in favor of the Ameri
can Trust and Banking company.
Messrs. Blalock & Birney are attor
noy- for the company. This morning
Mr. Birney stated that the company had
failed on account of "dull times and the
low price of cotton”
“Up to six months ago,” said Mr,
Birney, "the company did a good pay
ing business. Then came the low price
of cotton and dull times. Rubber goods,
yon know, may be classed among tbe
luxuries.”
"What are tbe liabilities,” was ask

safely to resume his duties as presiding
officer. Dr. Walsh, his physician, said
that the speaker was now convalescent,
with not a solitary unfavorable symp
tom, and that ha hoped to have his
patient sitting up in two or three days.
Within the last few days the speaker’s
appetite tuts been steadily growing bet
tor, and with this ability to assimilate
easily digested solid food, is coming in
creased strength-.
The speaker was consulted as to his
wishes in reference to a speaker pro
tern of the boose. He said that the
rules did not give him authority to
name a temporary successor, and that
he did not wish to express any prefer
ence, but to leave it to the members of
the house uninfluenced by him. There
was a general feeling on the part of the
Democratic members in favor of Mc
Millan, of Tennessee, as the presiding
officer.
There was an infernal meeting of the
rales committee which was attended by
several representatives who are not
members of the committee.
Burrows of Michigan, represented the
Republican minority. Reed was not
present. There was no disposition on
fhe part of the Republican members to
take advantage of any embarrass manta
arising from the speaker’s illness, and it
was decided to permit the ordinary de
tails of legislation to proceed without
obstruction or delay.

New Orleans, Jan. 5.—There is war

of the Republic of this city. The deci
sion of the national encampment in De
troit a year age, placing the colored
poets on an equal footing with other
poets in the order was wormwood and
gall to elder members, and at tbe time
the intimation was given of a probable
refusal to comply with this mandate.
From reliable sources it is learned
that the white element have decided to
withdraw from the order in preference
to sitting in meeting with the objec
tionable element. Should the whites
withdraw, the. result will be the forfeit
ure of the charter of the department.
This, a prominent colored member de
clared, was not possible, as colored posts
had in each of the rival posts a suffi
cient number (ten) to prevent a revoca
tion of the charter.
There are nine colored poets and eight
