CHAPTER I.
FORESHADOWING.
OR mercy’s suite,
Ray, my dear fellow,
fj^whut has happened!
JS* “I am ruined, liu-
gene — completely-.
' tut ter ly turned,"
,’came hack the an.
B,vtr in a ho
groan, as tliespeak-
•) er buried lii-s i ca in
his hands. “Oh! lhy
poor s.ster.”
“But. fell me, what is it?”
Impleaded Lis friend, now faiily
trig toned.
Ray Fielding remove 1 his
hands, aud in a broken voi e,
but without looking his ques
tioner in the face, said:
“The president himself came to me
this morning, and after a few kind words
aud c.intio is questions, intrusted me
w th a very important commission and a
largo sum of money, at the same time as
suring me that on the faithful execution
of the trust might depend my futuie ad
vancement in the bank.”
“Well?” asked Eugene, breathlessly.
“Well, I have been unable to consum
mate (be matter. ”
“Good heavens! how is th- t?”
“I am short a hundred dollars of the
amount the president gave me."
“ What! is it lost?”
“Yes, it is lost; but, understand me,
Eugene, it is lost in ruch a way that 1
cannot possibly explain it as an accid.-nt. *
“That looks bad.” mused his friend.
Then, after a moment’s consider tion:
“When were you to make your report to
llio president?”
“When he comes down to the bank in
the morning; that is, betweon nine and
len o'clock.
“And you see no way out of tour diffi
culty?"
“No way whatever, unless, indeed, lean
got one hundred dollars between this and
eight o’clock to-moriow morning. In (hat
ca-e I might still have time to complete
tlio (runs clion and be ready to repo.t."
“Between this and eight o'clock to
morrow morning," meckauically ro-
rcaiod Eugene.
“Y’es, but what’s the use of talking?
Where am I to get oue hundred dollais,
or even half that amount? Y'ou see foi
yourself, old fellow, I’m fairly done for.’
Eugene Cleveland’s face instantly be-
came ns whitens his friend's. He saw
nnd-fully appreciated the gravity of the
situation. But what wcb to bo done?
Even if it were to snvo his life he
rould not have got alto .ether twenty-five
dollars of h s own money, much less
four times that amount. And leaning
forward with his elbows restiug upon c
desk, he gave himself up to profound re-
flection.
Presently, raising his head, he put tin
question:
“Does any one else know of this loss?'
“Not a living soul but youiself," was
* the quick reply.
“ J hat's well; I’m glad of that,” Anc
again he became silent.
This lasted sc long that young Field
ing was for- ed to speak.
“Don’t you see any way out of it?” he
asked, anxiously. “Remember,” he
t asped, “it’s not only my own bread and
bmter that’s at stake but my sister’s liv-
iug is also in danger.”
For a moment Eugene did cot respond;
indeed, he hardly seemed to hear him. At
leugth, with an ofiort, he said:
“I can tee but oue way. I must go to
my uncle, the director. Tho oue. you
know, who obtained this situation for
me. ”
“What! Do you think he will help us?"
asked Rny, in great surprise.
“I c n't say,” rejoined Eugene, slowly
shaking his bend, while a peculiar, au
almost frightened look, c.iirre into his
face. “1 c n’t say, hut I can do no less
than try. And—and—yes, for your sake,
Rnv. aud for Meta’s, I’ll do that this very
evening.”
“God bless you, my dear fellow,” ex
claimed Ray, grasping his hand and
shaking it warmly, “you are, indeed, a
true triend,” aud the tears, which he
could no longer repress, started from his
eyes.
Young Cleveland, since he had found
it necessary to work for a living, had not
been a frequent visitor at his uncle’s
house, for he could 1 ut notice that his
august relative in no way exerted himself
to make his calls agreeable. He had,
therefoie, of late, resolved to wholly dis
continue his visits; but not for this rea.
son alone.
His uncle, the Hoa. Sherwood Ellis-
ton, had recently married a second time;
and on several of his later visits Eu ene
had seen his new wife, who, he could hut
acknowledge to himse f, interested him
profoundly.
Ct» the occasion of his first meeting
her, when she entered the room anc
came slowly toward him, he was sc
staitled by her wondrous grace and
beauty that he almost forgot to rise from
his chair.
This glorious being, this magni fleets’
lady, was bat twenty-five years of age.
She was tall aud blonde, with dee; -set
eyes under iho shadow of sweeping, dart
lashes. Thick masses of hair framec
her somewhnt sad hut splendid brow; out
she was lichly, even perfectly dre-sed
her elegant enrments draping her like ai
antique statue.
In the days of her maidenhood heren---
m'es and rivals h d nicknamed her "ths
goddess,” bee .use they hated her, anj
w t>ert to iasina t« that she put on err nr
airs. The name they gave her, however,
was marvelously suitable.
YVhen she walfied you would have
imagined she had desceudedfrom a pedes-
tal. Thepo-eof her head was like that
of the Greek Venus; her deBcate, dilat
ing nostrils seemed carved by a cunning
chisel from transparent ivory. Then at
times she had a startled, 1 Imost wild,
look, such ns is seen in the hunting
nymphs. She used a naturally fine voice
\v,th great effect, and had most assidu
ously cultivated a ta3te for art.
She was naturally so t-.citurn, one was j
compe led to guess her thoughts; and j

wondrous ch irrns had produced on her
husband's handsome and agreeable
nephew. As yet, however, she ha.l made
uo sign.
The evening came, and iu due time
Eugene, with a strange feeling al out his
heart, ascended the broad steps leading to
his uncle’s stately mansion, and rang
the he’d.
Ho was admitted, and, being known to
the senant, was at once shown into ths
drawing-room, where both Mr. Elliston
and his wife were seated.
After a few moments of g. neral con
versation, Eugene, w.th a somewhitrm-
barrassta air. begged that he mi-.ht ses
his unde alone on very urgent business.
Mr. Eliistcn looked gieut ! y annoyed
but, nevertheless, arose and led the wap
to the library.
“YYell,” he said, in a disagreenbje lone
as he seat-d liiim-elf in the most com
fortable chair in the room.“what is it now?
Are you in trouble? I suppose so, aud
want some money to help you out, or you
wouldn’t have come to me.”
“Y’ou Lavo guessed nearly right, m3
dear sir, ” i< sponded Eng -ne, looking up
quickly. “1 am in t.oublo, and unless 1
have 8100 this very night, or, at least,
before 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, the
gravest consequences are likely to en
sue.”
“I thought so.” said the older man, in 1
dry, hard, unieeling tone; “and this ii
exactly what I ha e expected e er since
1 helped 30U to the very desirable situa
tion i ou now fill at the Atlantic National
Bank.”
Then, r,ft r a moment’s pause:
“iou were brought up to a lifo of ex-
travngance and idleness. Y’onr father,
when he was worth no more than three
hundred tl-oustnd, lived as though ho
were a mi liouaiie; and at 1 st, losing ev
erything ly a single venture in Wall
street, like ihe coward he Was, blew out
his brains.
“No wonder, then, that yon, his son, are
the man you . re, and the more oue does
for such as you, the more one may."
“Uncle!” exclaimed Eugene,' with
flushed face m 1 fl.mhinu eyes.
“There! there!” cried the other, hastily,
“don't let us hivearceue here. I can’t
let you h ve the money—in fact, have
uou : to throw away; so there’s an end t.o.
that. I've an important engagement with
the i_overm r, at the Fi'th Avenue Hotel,
relative f o the Un.ted Slates Seuatoiship,
tor eight o'clock, and as it is near that
hour now, I must be going. But don’t
disturb v ourself. I bog.
“If you’ve nothing better to do, you can
amuse yourself with the books—a very
diverting pastime indeed, as welt as in
stitutive;” and, bustling into the hull, he
seized his hat and cana and hurried from
the house.
But Eugene hardly noticed his with
drawal; ho was almost stunned,, so bitter
was his disappointment on account of his
friend.
And, seated ih.-re in a great arm-chair,
he looked fixedly beloie him, nor noti-ed
that the door had again opened and
closed, and that he was no longer alone.
It was the beautiful wife of the would-
1 e Senator who had entered; upd, after
she had almost reached the voting man’s
s de, she stopped and looked cunousiy at
him.
Then, onco more she advanced, and as
she drew near suddenly took his head be
tween her hands, and, ra sing his face,
imprinted a burning kiss upon his fever
ish lips.
Ho started, and gazed up into her eyes
almost with a looK of terror, while a
crimson blush mantled his cheek? And
ns she regarded him with a peculiar smile,
ho drew back a little, hastily exclaiming:
“What! who did you take me for? . Bid
— did you thiuk I was your husband?”.
“Oh.no, indeed!” she laughed; “lam
sc rcety likely to make such 11 ludicrous
mistnko as that. No, my friend, I knew
perfe tly well who it was I kissed.”
Then, after a moment's silence, and
speaking in a more serious tone:
“I know still more, Eugene; I know
that you are in trouble, and I think l ean
help you. ”
He started, and gave her an eager,
searching look.
“Y’es,” sho went on, “I believe I can
help you. Bar, Eugene, do you love me?”
and, t king one of his hands in her own,
she seated herself upon a stool at his
feet, and looked ud w.th a hungry—with
an almost furnished—ga e into his face.
“Love yo .?” he asked, strangely agi
tated. “Love you?”
“Y’es. love me, as 1 long to be loved,"
she said; “os—as I coni 1 love yon.”
“Y'ou are beautiful, wondrously beauti
ful,” he murmured, rapidly; “;nd there
are thousands much more worthy of your
regard than I; but I—I believe I could
love you very much if you would only
help my friend.”
“Oh! rnd eo you want this money—this
hundred dollars—for a friend?”
“Yes,” rejoined Eu ene. quickly; “and
if I am not able to give it to him before
S o'clock to-morrow morning, it w-ill kill
his s ster—ns sweet a girl, Mrs. ElluUn,
as ever breathed.”
The Lily nowued.
“YYhat is shi to you?” she asked, ab
ruptly.
“Nolhingwhatever—I swear it,” ho said,
earnestlv. “She is simply iho sister of .
m- friend, and I know her to be a good
and worthy girl—that is nil.”
Cora Ellislon raised herself a little,
and, quickly drawing his face forward,
again pressed a burning, passionate kiss
upon his lips.
“Swear to-ove me as I love you,” she
whi pored, rapidly., eagerly, "anil you
shell take tha money away with you this
very night.” .
“T.u why should you care so much for
me—yon, who ca:s comm.nd everything
tour hear! m«v desirv.7"
“Because I love you so much!" was tli«
lust nt reply.
She pronounced these simple words in
such a deep, impassioned tone, that
Eugene trembled and grasped the'arms ol
the chair to sti.l himself.
"Yi rs. Elliston!” he at length faltered.
“YYhat, Eugene?” rnd there was s
strange tone in her voice.
“Heavens! in fact—nothing!” he sriL
“for this is a declaration of—friendship,
I hope; and. believe me. your friendship
is very precious to me.”
She let go his arm, which she had
seized, aud, in a hoarse and angry voice,
said:
“I am not your friend!”
“Whet—what are yon, then?”
Bis voice was almost calm, but he re
toiled a little, his hea 1 coming in.conlaci j
with the back of the chair. .. ..I
The explosion, so long pent up, row
burst forth in earnest, and a flood of word: ;
poured forth from the beautiful woman’s i
lips with inexpressible-impetuosity.
“What I am I know not! I'no longei ;
know if I ;.m myFelf—if I am dead o: t
alive—if I am good or bad—if I am
dreaming or wakiog.
“0. Eugene! what I wish, is that you ]
Jnd I may never leave this room again—

wrong my husband? You?” the exclaimed,
fiercely.
“I spoke only for myse’.f,” he rejoined
in a conciliatory tone.
“No maiter; you spurn me andthe lovt
I have fe!t for t on since the first moment
my eyes beheld your face,” she cried
even more wildly.
“I do not spurn you, and I have nt
w.sh to offend you,” was his earnest reply
“But I think it right to tell jou that
what you j ropose can never be."
“I care not."she ulmosthLsed between
her beautiful teeth, “you shall rue this
night-aye, rue it bitterly, to the last day
of your life." And before he could frarnj
another sentence she was pone, and he
was once more alone in the library.
CHAPTER II.
AFTER CLOUDS A GLEAM OP SUNSHINE.
Eugene Cleveland, left alone in ths
library, sat for some trine plunged in
thought.
The whole scene that had so recently
passed had been more, than a surprise to
him. Never, even for a* single moment,
had he so much as dieamed of what w..e
tea ly concealed in the apparently cold
lmftrt of that strangely beautiful ladv.
She had gone away angry with him—
frightfully angry. YVhat would she do?
It was in Ler power to work him in
finite h irm. Y\ ouid she use that power
against him? Could he doubt it?
But she loved him. Ah! he could not
help seeing and believing that—loved
him with an intensity that was truly
frightfnl—the very tuougbt of v.hicn
thril,ed him, yet made him shudder. And
loving him as she did, would sue not le-
lent—would she not even re urn to him?
thinking thus, Eugene took a hook, ami
as he idly tamed the leaves—waited. Foi
what?
An hour parsed; there was an.vhet
si ght sound just wr hout the libr ry door..
He felt a sadden pa pitntion, and a secret
wish that it might prove to be Mrs. Ellis
ton.
It was.his uncle .who entered.
He advanced' with measured stride,
looking very important, and touching Eu
gene, who had quickly arisen irofn his
seat, on the shoulder. • "
’Jheu, Bomewh ,t impressively, he said:
“YY’elj, young man'”
“Well, sir.” . • ! ,
“YYhat aie jott’doing here now?”
“Oh, I was just looking over this
work,” holding up the 1 volume he still re
tained in his hand. 7
“Reading, eh? Urn 1 YY'ell, sit dowr
there—sit down, I say.”
Eugene sank back into his easy chair,
while Mr. Elliston threw himself on the
sofa, and let one foot rest on the stoql his
wife h id so recently occupied at the
young man’s fart;
“YY’ell,'well,* he repeated, after a long
pause.
“Well, sir?" said Eugene, not very well
knowing whit else to say.
“YYhat the deuce!” growled the other,
*Is that ail you chit think of? I. thought
you wanted me to give you, or, at least
;o loan ’you. a hundred dollars.” ■
Eugene started, qhnnged coloi dot t
little, add looked up at his uncle witi
breathless inteiest.
“Understand me, young man,” said thl
great man, very impressively. “I’ve no
idea what you, who under the circum
stances, aro receiving a very liberal sal-
ary, can possibly wmt of a huudred dol.
lars, and I am not now going to stop tc
inquire. M0re'over,-you srd not to sup.
pose its my regular habit to loan mouej
to every poor teLtive who may see fit tc
make a demand upon my purse.
“But,” heiadiied,.'.' fitter a piitt'se, “foi
some reason that for the life of me 1
can’t comprehend, my wife has conde.
sc.ended to take 1 n intere-t in this matter,
and - if you are not too consummately
proud toreceive the sum as a gift from
-ner, why, it’s at your disposal, that’s all."
Eugene, who had once more started tc
his ieet; fairly gasped for breath, and’
was obliged to hold on to the table foi
Bupport- He made an effort to speak, but
for the life of him coti d not utter a word.
“Forty devils!” exclaimed his uncle,
gaziug at him wiih undisguised astonish-
‘went. “YY hat in the world is the mattei
t^ith you? Is there anything so very
wonderful in: .a soft-hearted woman's-
taking pity on such a oue as you, and
ottering the assistance you crave?”
“l-^I—it’s so.very unexpected, you seen
sir. ” • .
“Hum. , So that’s it, eh? YYell," offer

mo ey. and I trust you will, prove very
grateful to Mrs-. Elliston for This mark

“I—I cannot take the money, uncle, on
such terms,” he.said. “AIM asked of you
was that, personally, you would lend'me
the sum for a specified time. I do not
wish—in fact, I c.mnot, accept it from a
woman—as a gift.
“I sincere!' trust,” he added, quickly

and I will never forgive you. Besides, I i
want to ask yon a question. YVhat makes
you look so deathly pale?”
“No matter," sard Eugene, hastily;
then, in another I one;
“See here, Rav, I’ll eat with yon ii
you'll only hurry through your meal anc
let me alone. YYhat I want, abo.eal]
things now, is to see you straight with
the bank. Do you undeistand?”
“Of course, o. course; but tell me "
“Not a word until lunch time, then I'll
tell you everything."
“ W ell, yon hard-hearted wretch, i(
that’s your ultimatum, come along,” and
he led the way up to the sitting-room,
where his sistrr ?oon joined them.

“YVhat, you beggar!” cried his uncle
when he was able to epe ik. “Too proud
to receive a present from my wife? I
should think, thin, it was nbout time you

. “I w as 1 about--to wi-fi you good-even
ing . and . to withdraw,” said Eugene,
rnildlv. . .
“The sooner you’re out of the house th»!
better,” growled the other.
The young man, with not the most
agreeable sensations in th.e worldj said
“good-night, ” aud took his departure.
It was no.wfo late he did not think ii
best to repair' to young Fielding’s house,
aud more qspaeiaUy as he had no good
news tp. cQnyiiunicste; so, with a despond
ing heart,'he wandeied. a 1 outthe streets
for an hour, and then slowly made his
way to his own room, where, without un-
i dressing, he threw himself upon his bed,
; not to sleep, but to think! .- -
For an boar he lay there, scarcely mov
ing, and had jit not been for his wide-
apen, staring eyes, which were iutenflyi
i fixed upon the - ceiling, one might have
1 thonsht.him sleeping: as it was, he more
; closely resembled the dead.
All at .once, with a glad exclamation,
; he sprung out upon the floor, £rad taming
up- the.-gas* which he bacWjjsft dimly
i burning, hnrri.ed to a trunk inYSne comet
of the room, -aild, having seieoled a key

After removing two trays, he thrust hie

and -then; alter putting awayrthe*case
and undressing, he sought his couch and
was speedily fast asleep.
The next mprning, some time before
eight o’clock,; he call.d at F'ielding's
bouse; dad'on Ins friend’s hastening tc
eighteen years—a girt that any man
might be promt to call wife or sister.
Fiom the first time her b o her had
brought Eugene to their home he had in
terested her greatly, and, truth to s ty, the
t’oung man felt a warm tegard for her; in
so much, indeed, that he had fallen into
the habit of spending at lonst half his
evenings in the apartments of his friend.
Breakfast did not detain them longtbis
morning, and after it was over, they hid
(Be sweet 1 tile hou-ekeiper gco.r-by, and
histened down town.
Eugene did not accompanv his friend
when he went to carry out the mission
intrusted to him bv the president the d y
before; but he knew he had succeeded
when he saw his cheerful face as he en
tered the bank, and went to bis desk
about half an hour after the president ar
rived.
That morning Raymond Eield : ng work
ed with a happy heart; but, from time to
time, as he glanced toward the assistant
book-keeper, ho was troubled to see a
settled look of gloom upon his brow.
“YVhat can possibly' be the matter with
him?” he asked of himself for the hun
dredth time. “YY’ell, I shall find out at
one o’clock. He will tell me everything
then, so I must have patience and wait.”
But he was to know something about
it even before that hoar.
It was a little past twelve, when, or.
casual y looking up, he saw Mr. Elliston,
Eugene’s uncle, enter the bank. It was
not a “bo ird day, ” and he was therefore
souibwhat surprised to see him there.
The great mau did not slopm the bank
ing rrom, but p.issed through to the
Rre-ideut's private apartment, where a
qua ter of an hour later, Eugene was re
quested to j re-ent himself.
He obey, d the summons at once, but
was scarcely absent ten m nutes. YVhen
he re ippeared bis face was deuthly pa e;
aud there was a stern, set expre-siou
abo.ut his features they had never worn-
before.
Raymond was greatly alarmed, and
would have sprung to his side, but
Eugene made a hurried gesture to deter
him, nnd passing close by his desk, he
rapidly whispered:
- “JJon’t look up; don’t move. It’s best
you shouldn’t appear over-friendly with-
me. I’ve been discharged, and am going
at once. Come to Gibbs’lunch-room at
one o’clock. HI be there, and tell yon
all 1 bout it. God bless you. c-ld fellow!"
And he passed on to his desk.
Briefly he explained to the head book-'
keeper, giving him no idea, howeveryof
the actual facts; and before one o’clock
he had turned over his books, received
what was due him, and had left the bank;
He went direc ly to the lunch-room,
where ha knew the other employes of tha
bank were hardly likely to come; and
having selected a table in a remote cor
ner, prepared to wait for his friend.
Raymond did not keep him long w-sit.
inr. Soon he entered the spacious
room, and catching a glimpse of him in
the far corner hastened to h s side.
“Sit down,” said the discharged book
keeper; aud as tho other took his seat,

“Oh, anything, exclaimed Ray, impa
tiently; “it doesn’t matter. But, I say, be
quick, nnd tell me all about it.”
Having given bis order to the waiter,
Eugene did’tell him all; in fact, omitting
very little indeed.
YVhen he had finished, Raymond's face
was almost as pale as his had been when
he. came from the President's room less
than an hour before.
“And all this has been brought about
through my consummate carelessness, ”
muttered Raymond, regretfa ly.
“Nb, no, my dear fellow!” exclaimed
Eugene, hastily; “you shall not take
blame upon yourself that < oes net be
long to you. I tell you this would have
happene 1 some time anyway; the thin-»
had ■ ot to come. It was inevi ab e.” a
“You are going to be at home to-night?’
asked Ray, abruptly, after a long pause.
“Yes.”
“I’ll call on yon then.”
“YY hat? Shan’t I see you before—that
is, directly after banking* hours?”
“No; I shail be engaged then.”
“Oh, very well; aud as I gee your time’s
up, and as I have a little m it ter of mj

Balloons for YY’ar.
Mr. Samuel A. King, the aeronaut,
who had so narrow au escape from
drowning in Lake Michigan recently, has
for a long time turned his knowledge to
the use of aeronautics iu the science of
war. :During the threatened hostilities
with Chili, he tendered his services to
ex-Secretary Tracy, ol the navy, for o
balloon service, lu which compressed
hydrogen was to be used as the inflating
gas. ; His system included a group of
se’veh balloons, the car being a metal
boat built in sections; each of which was
to be air-tight. For observation pur
poses the group was to be what is knowr
us captive and telephonic communieatior
established with the flagship of the fleet.
The.Casks of compressed hydrogen were
to lie stored on the metal boat and used
when necessary for further inflation.
The professor has' an autograph letter
from . ex--Secretary Tracy, in which his
system is highly commended. The pro
fessor said that from an altitude of G.000
faet hecould make observations over the
area of a circle whose radius is 100 miles.
If it was deemed necessary to use the
group for offensive purposes, it could be
made a most destructive agency. YYTieb
tber winds were favorable it couid hover
over an enemy’3 fleet, fortifications 01
city, and by dropping bombs loaded witb
dynamite or other explosive material,
prove an ugly customer. During the
laie imbroglio with Great Britain regard
ing the Bering Sea, King visited \\'a-h
ington and tendered his ideas to Secre
tary Herbert. He was to establish a
signal service on each of the great Jakes.
It was accepted contingently upon the
event of hostilities being declared.—

admit women teachers to the benefits
of that school. Dr. Curry has given
81,800 to keep the school open agaiu
next summer. It is not kuowu
what effect the action of the house
will have on the gift, but it is likely
that Dr. Curry expected all of the
teachers to have the benefit of the sum
mer course of instruction, and there
are many expressions of regret that
the house should have taken the action
it did. There were G2 votes for the
bill and 83 against it. A motion to
reconsider the bill was made and car
ried. The senate killed the bill of
Mr. Tatum, of Dade, requiring
the state to . pay the expenses of
the trial and conviction of crimi
nals sentenced to the Dade coal mines,
and who commit offenses in the peni
tentiary that require- trials in the
county. The following bills on third
reading were disposed of; The bill of
Mr. Neel of Floyd, fixing the fees for
witnessesfor thestate in criminal cases,
when they reside out of the county, at §2
per day and 4 cents a mile for actual
miles traveled in getting to the court
house; The bill of Mr. Calvin
to provide for the appointment
of a physician to the coroner
in each county, having a population of
40,000 or more, was passed; The bill
of Mr. Neel of Bartow, to authorize
the signing of judgments against sure
ties on bonds on condemnation, as in
cases of appeaE The special order was
the consideration of the bill introduc
ed by Mr. Doolan, to amend the regis
tration laws of Chatham county. Mr.
Wilson of YY’are submitted an amend
ment that the law shall not go into effect
until it is ratified by the voters of
Chatham. Mr. Osborne explained the
bill and urged that the amendments
be not passed. Mr. YYilson said the
people there were divided on this ques
tion, that tho delegations had been be
fore the committee and the house
could say what the people wanted.
Mr. Doolan said the people had spoken
by. petition and were in favor of the
bill. That the adverse petition was a
small one and the same names appear
ed as signed several times. After
brief discussion the bill was passed by
a vote of 99 yeas to 2 nays.
Tuesday, Nov. 28—The house spent
much of its time Tuesday mornin
talking for the women teachers of
Georgia. Notice of a motion to re
consider was given Monday when the
bill to allow women teachers to at
tend the Normal school at Athens
was lost. As soon as the journal
had been read and approved Mr.
Graham, of Appling, made the motion
to reconsider, and spoke in favor of
admiring the women. Mr. Guerrard,
of Chatham, was not opposed to ad
mitting the women but he was oppos
ed to these normal schools altogether,
and for that reason he was opposed to
reconsideration. Mr. Freeman, of
Troup, made a sweeping denunciation
of the entire normal school system,
saying he did not believe in preparin
teachers for teaching at the expense of
the people. Mr. Fleming, of Rich
mond, in a strong speech, defended
normal schools, and spoke in favor of
reconsidering the bill. Mr. Reagan,
of Henry, spoke against reconsidera
tion, as did also Mr. Wheeler, of Wal
ker. The previous question was then
called and was sustained by a vote of
79 to 48; so the bill was reconsidered.
The resolution of Mr. Tatum, of
Dade, to authorize the govenor to pay
$403.40 to the ordinary of Dade coun
ty, the same being the amount expen
ded in executing Alex YVeyman and
John Rutherford, tw r o state convicts,
came up before the committee of the
whole house. The committee recom
mended that only the sum of $300.20
be paid, and then the resolution was
sent back to the finance committee.
The bill of Mr. Hodge, of Pu
laski, to authorize certain coun
ty officials to lay open and
work the public roads was passed.
The proposition for Georgia to issue
a series of bonds to take up a number
of old and unpaid ones known as con
vention bonds, came up as a special
order. The bill to issue the new bonds
was introduced by Mr. Bacon,of Bibb.
The bonds, amounting to $20,000 in
all, were issued before the war and
came due about 1870 and 1871, but
they have never been paid through
some irregularity about the time they
came due. Mr. Candler, of DeKalb,
chairman of r committee appointed to
investigate the bonds, spoke until one
o’clock, when the committee rose,
reported progress and asked leave to
sit again. The house then adjourned
until 7:30 p. m.
Wednesday, Nov. 29.—The special
order of considering the 'issuance of
bonds to take up the old convention
bonds, was resumed after the reading
of the journal in the honse, Wednes
day morning. The house went into a
committee of the whole, with Mr. Hill,
of Meriwether, in the chair. Mr.
Candler, of DeKalb, who was speak
ing when the house adjourned Tuesday
concluded his speech. It was a strong
plea for the state maintaining her in
tegrity by paving off these bonds,
which he argued was a just debt. Mr.
Wheeler, of YY’alker, introduced an
amendment that no interest be paid on
of Upson, spoke in favor of paying
the bonds and the interest. The vote
was then taken on the amendment of
Mr. YYTteeler, of Walker. It was 80
for and 53 against, so the amendment
was adopted. The committee then
arose and reported the bill back to tho
house with a recommendation that
it pass. Mr. Martin, of Ful
ton, spoke against the amend
ment when it came up in the house,
but it was adopted by a vote of 79 to
64, thus killing the interest on tho
bonds, which amount to $25,000, more
than the principal, which is only $20,-
500. At this point Mr. McBride, of
Haralson, introduced a resolution that
the governor should appoint a com
mittee of three to investigate these
bonds and report to the next legisla
ture. Mr. Graham, of Appling, want
ed to amend the resolution by appro
priating $3,000 to defray the expenses
of the commission. The time
of the house was extended un
til this matter was disposed of. Mr.
Render, of Meriwether, called the
previous question and the call was sus
tained. The amendment to appropri-
ate$3,000 was overwhelmingly lostand
so was Mr. McBride’s resolution. The
report of the committee which was
favorable to the passage of the bill
was adopted. On a call of the ayes
and nays the bill was passed by a vote
of 89 to 57. Mr. Rankin gave notice
that he would move to reconsider.
The house then adjourned until Fri
day morning, as Thursday would bo
spent in Augusta.

Mr. Sears, of Webster, opposed the
payment of the bonds. Mr. Battle, of
Muscogee, said he was born a demo

ing democracy to be honesty, he favored
the payment of the bonds, interest and
principal, dollar for dollar. Speaker
Atkinson followed Mr. Battle in
speaking for paying the bonds. Mr.
Bacon, of Bibb, also spoke in favor of
the bill, because, he said, everything
showed that it was an honest debt and
it should be paid. He was followed

BISHOP TURNER’S CONVENTION
Over Five Huudred Relegates Show Up
at Hie Mi-eting.
A Cincinnati special says: Tuesday
morning, Bishop H. M. Turner, of
Atlanta, called to order the national
colored convention, which met, pursu
ant to his call issued September 30th
To the surprise of all the list of dele
gates reached over five hundred
with more to come. Y\ r . H
Conncill, of Jointsville, Alabama
was made temporary chairman
with J. H. Willis, of Michigan, as sec
retary. The permanent organization
was effected without friction as follows
President, Bishop Turner; first vice
president, Dr. Payne; second vice pres
ident. Dr. J. R. Grassland, St. Joseph
Mo.; third vice president, Sam D. Hill
Cincinnati; fourth vice president, W
H. Ellis, Mexico; fifth vice president

C. H. J. Taylor, of Kansas City, re
cently appointed United States minis
ter to Bo ivia, made an addreas, taking
strong ground against all mob laws in
general. His remedy was the enact
ment of a special statute for a speedy
trial of all rapists, fixing the punish
ment at death. He wanted also to
compel the county in which a mun was
lyched to pay his heirs $10,000. .
At night Bishop Turner delivered an
address, carefully prepared and full of
deep feeling. He deplored the appa
rent taint upon the race, and declared
that if even half that was charged
against the colored men of the United
States is true, colored men
themselves should band together and
organize for the correction of the evil
by the most radical measures. The
Bishop’s remedy is in partial African
emigration. He favors calling on his
nation for a portion of the $40,000,’-
000,000, which tho country owes the
colored race for daily labor—say $500,-
000,000,—to enable them to begin
African emigration.

who waited in vain for them, said that
all business of the shaft was in the
hands of Manager Graham; what he
did would be sanctioned by the vice
president, who had no knowledge of
the actual workings of the mine.
