Closing Scones as Eaaclei in Boll
Routine Work of the Last Bays of
the Session.
The house anil senate of the Georgia
legislature adjourned sine die Wednes

ment the dignified members of both
houses gave themselves up to merry
making, and the fnu wns vast and fu
rious in a mock session held in both

ferent members were scored. Before the
final adjournment of tho houseSpenker
Atkinson was presented with a hand
some oaken casket containing silver
knives, forks and spoons, the presen
tation speech being made by speaker
pro tern, Boifenillet. Mr. Atkinson
accepted the gift in a graceful speech,
in which lie feelingly referred to the
pleasant relation existing between him
self aud the members. President
Clay was not forgotten by his fellow
senators and by the officers of the
upper house of the general assembly.
Before the session adjourned Senator
Persons gained tho fioor on a question
of personal privilege. He then pro
ceeded in a very timely speech to pre
sent to the president of the senate in
behalf of the members and officers, a
handsome solid silver tea service. Mr.
Clay made an eloquent response to the
senator’s remarks in accepting the
gift. The president afterwards had
some very pleasant words to say in
bidding adieu to his fellow senators
with whom lie had been associated for
two years.
THE HOUSE.
Saturday, Dec. 9.—The chief busi
ness of Saturday in tho house was the

their products uuder certain condi
tions. The first special order of the

journed until Tuesday morning.
Tuesday, Dec. 12.—For a full half
hour Tuesday morning the house of
representatives, coming out of the
beaten track of business, considered
love atid marriage. It was a remarka
ble scene, a prospective bridegroom
responding with words of eloquence to
the good wishes of liis fellow-members
from all parts of the state; the pros
pective bridegroom being Hon. J. G.
Camp, from Douglas. The scene was
brought about, by a resolution tender
ing congratulations of the house, of
fered by Hon. H. W. J. Ham.
The bill providing how hearings in

The house, Tuesday afternoon, heard

there was an association composed of
nearly all the railroads in tlie south,
and the physical pool was only an al
lotment of cotton freights, with the
intention to protect the weaker roads.
The committee thought no legislation
was necessary'. The following bills
were passed : To reorganize the state
militia of Georgia; To permit disabled
soldiers to peddle in Bulloch county
without license; To provide for a state
depository at Quitman; To authorize
the county commissioners of Liberty

morning.
Wednesday, Dec. 13.—There was
much business transacted in the house
Wednesday morning. The conference
committee on the school bill agreed on
a report which will allow the teachers
to be paid quarterly, and the house
adopted the report unanimously'. The
senate subititnte for the game bill of
Mr. Graham, of Appling, was agreed to.
The bill as it now is allows partridges,
pheasants, wild turkeys and snipe to be
trapped and killed in anveonnty in the
state between the first of October and
the 1st of April. Doves can be killed
from the 15th of Joly to the first of
April, and deer can be killed from the
first of October until the first of Jan
uary. Crows, larks, English sparrows,
rice and wheat birds can be killed at
any time. The bill of Senator Jenk
ins making it unlawful to sell or so
licit the sale of intoxicating liquors in
any county having prohibition or high
license, caused quite a discussion.
There was a minority report, which,
strange to say, was signed by a num
ber of preachers. After a wild aud
disorderly fight over the bill it was
passed. An effort was made to adjourn
sine die, but it was lost anil the house
adjourned at 1 o’clock until 3 o'clock
in the afternoon.
IN THE SENATE.
Saturday, Dec. 9.—The Kibbeebonil
bill was killed in the senate Saturday.
The house had passed the bill in favor
of their payment,but they were knock
ed out by the senate. There was a
lively argument over the matter and
able speeches were made on both sides.
The vote was first taken on the amend
ment which was to add interest, and
was 16 to 19. So this motion was lost.
Then came the argument ou the main
question, which was extremely inter
esting. On a motion to disagree
to the favorable report of
the committee the vote was—
21 to 14. Then, on the passage of the
bill, it was defeated by the same vote.
The state bank bill "(the Yeach bill)
came up as the special order, and a
highly interesting discussion ensued.
On the passage of the bill the vote was
23 to 12, more than a constitutional
majority. The bill of Mr. Hill, bear
ing on mob law, was reconsidered after
brief discussion. A joint resolution
empowering the governor to bid in the
Northeastern railroad for an amount
not to exceed the state's endorsement
anil the amount of the expenses in
operating the roads was passed. The
senate then adjourned until Monday.
Monday Dec. 11—The first business
that engaged the attention of the sen-
iday morning, was a motion by
Robbe to reconsider the ae-
:he senate in passing the state
ill. The motion to reconsider,
■ief discussion was lost. Sena-
(kins made an earnest appeal

Wednesday, Dee. 13.—The senate
was very busy Wednesday morning—
or rather the secretary anil his assist
ant were—in trying to clear tho desk
of various bills reported by the com
mittees. Most of the business was iir
concurring in amendments to house
bills and senate bills and hearing re
ports from conference committees.
The following bills were passed: A
bill to amend section 2324 of the code
relating to election of constables; A
bill to appropriate $100,000 to erect

FINAL WORK IN THE SENATE.
A resolution by Senator Reese, au
thorizing tho governor to protect the
right of way of tlie Western and At
lantic railroad, met its death by being
sent to the table. So did the resolu
tion of Senator Clay, authoring the
governor to compromise and settle all
suits now pending, that involve this
land, and sell the same when ad
visable. The resolution of Senator
Reese, authorizing competent at
torneys to be employed in look
ing iuto the claims of the state
against the United States was passed.
So was the resolution by Senator Reese
authorizing the governor to bid in the
property of the Northwestern rail
road. Other bills passed were: To in
corporate tho Brunswick, LaGrange
and Western railroad; To authorize
foreign notary publics and clerks of
courts to attest deeds; To reduce the
number of coroner’s jurors from
twelve to six; To authorize the
governor to appoint second lieu
tenants of the Georgia volun
teers from the graduates of schools
giving military instructions; To pro
hibit commercial notaries from issu
ing garnishments; To provide for a
state naval militia; To relieve those
holding deeds as security for debts;
To provide offices in the courthouses
for county school commissioners; To
provide for a state' depository at Ft.
Gaines. The bill of Mr. Boifeuillet,
of Bibb, to allow newspapers to ward
off damage suits for libel when no in
tentional injury had been done came
back to the senate, which had tacked
on an amendment making a paper lia
ble for publishing an nrticle that was
unfair or untrue. Tho house refused
to concur in this amendment and a
conference committee was appointed.
The committee recommended that the
senate recede from its amendment,
which was done, and the original bill
was passed.
TRAIN ROBBERS CAPTURED.
After a Long Pursuit They are Over
hauled at £ustiu, Texas.
A dispatch from Austin, Texas,says:
After being on the trail of the Sunday
night train robbers for over thirty
hours, the officers and posse came into
the city Tuesday morning, having be
come convinced that the robbers were
in hiding here. Their surmise was
correct, for soon after their ar
rival they succeeded in arrest
ing Dick Wallace and Lum Denton.
A good deal of money and a watch
belonging to a passenger on the train
was found in Denton’s possession.
The third robber, Bill Bronson, was
found in hiding below town. He re
sisted arrest and the officers opened
tire on him, wounding him seriously.
He was brought to the city and put in
jail. The fourth robber, Burleson by
name, is making bis way to the west on
horseback. Officers know of his des
tination, however, and his arrest is
only a question of a few hours.
In times of scarcity tne soutn African
natives sometimes rob the nests of the

of grain have been taken from a single

The German bark Elise, from Ham-
berg and loaded with kainit, arrived
at Charleston Wednesday morning.
Hhe crossed Charleston bar drawing
twenty feet and found twenty-two feet

worthy, because Charleston bar has
heretofore prevented the entrance of

Argument opened in the circuit court
at Milwaukee, Wis., Monday, in the

A Chicago special of Wednesday
says: The amount of cash secured by
the bold robbery of Cashier Robertson
at the postoffice Tuesday night is now
estimated at $4,000. No trace of the
robber has been discovered and In

probability that the man will be cap

badly injured as was reported, but is
confined to his home with a badly
bruised head.
The business of C. Aultman & Co.,

The company, it is understood, is en

from $2,700,000, while its liabilities
are about $1,000,000. The applica
tion for a receiver was made by Hon.

very damaging to the accused. A num
ber of parties duped by the scheme of
William Lord Moore, London; E. Boss
and Joseph Leger, New York, and G.
F. B. Howard, Jackson, each of whom
the defendant has been recognized to
be, were placed upon the stand. They
told a plain story of how, after Moore
was suppressed in London, Ross, of
New York, took up the correspondence
on the subject and led them to believe
that they were entitled to an inherit
ance in Europe. When Ross was re
ported “dead,” and notwithstanding
most of them had paid Moore and Ross
money, Joseph Leger, of New York,
sprung his decree of the “supreme
court of chancery” and asked $35 more.
It is believed that immediately after
the police of New York became too
warm for Ross and Leger in that city,
Rev. G. F. B. Howard returned to
Jackson, where he had previously lived
and took up the same correspondence
dropped by the former named parties
and he in turn collected money, as his
alleged predecessors had done, for
work in prosecuting mythical inheri
tances abroad. This class of evidence,
while there is nothing sensational
about it, is knocking down the props
that have supported the distinguished
clerical suspect and he finds himself
in toils that are hard to shake off.

Latest News from Hawaii is That She
Has Not Been Restored.
The Austrian steamer Arawa arrived
at Victoria at 8 a. m. Tuesday. She
brings the following news: Queen
Lilioukalani has not been restored and
there has been no trouble in Honolulu.
The Arawa left Honolulu Monday, De
cember 4th, and was a fraction over
seven days making the run. From the
arrival of the last reports there has
been but two things of a significant
nature. The annexationists had a mass
meeting ou Saturday, November 25,
and adopted resolutions in effect ap
pealing to congress ever the address of
President Cleveland, Secretary Gresh
am and Mr. Blount.
For four days prececding the sail
ing of the Arawa, the troops of the
provisional government were busy for
tifying the government house, or “The
Castle,” as formerly called The work
was being done with sand-bags princi
pally. As the Arawa sailed from the
harbor the troops could be seen
from the deck of the steamer busi
ly engaged iu keeping up breast
works.

Food Yalue of Bran.
I doubt if one farmer in ten under
stands the true feeding value of bran,
and I always feel that I am doing the
farmers good when I urge them to feed
more of it than they do. It is valua
ble not only because of the absolute
food element it contains, but also be
cause when fed with straw or other
food deficient in the nitrogenous ele
ment it enables the animal to digest
them better. Many farmers—iu fact
most of them—believe the light bran
made by the roller process inferior to
the heavy bran which we formelry got
from the creek mills, but for most pur
poses it is much better and a pound
of it contains more nutriment than
a pound of white middlings or even of
flour. The bran from the hard spring
wheats of the northwest is much lighter
than that made from our winter wheat
and before its value was learned it sold at
very low prices, often less than $5 per
ton.
For many years past Mr. Brown has
fed one-half bran and one-half corn

(ground fine) helps digestion and is
worth more than enough to pay the
cost of grinding tho corn. — Country

Position for Healthy Sleep.
Many people sleep on the left side,
and this is the most common cause' of
the unpleasant taste in the mouth in
the morning, which is generally attrib
uted to to dyspepsia. If a meal has
been taken within two or three hours
of going to bed, to sleep on the left
side is to give the stomach a task which
is difficult in the extreme to perform.
The student of anatomy knows that all
food leaves the stomach on the right
side, anil hence sleeping ou the left
side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also inter
fered with considerably aud the lungs
are unduly compressed. It is probable
that lying on the back is most natural
position, but few person can rest easily
so, and hence it is best to cultivate the
habit of sleeping on tho right side.—

Senator Stanford and Womankind.
Senator Stanford attested in two no
ble instances the high regard in which
he held womankind. His respect for
woman in general he recorded by giv
ing her equal rights with men in Stan
ford university. His regard for her
in particular he showed by bis will, iu
which the great bulk of his fortune
was left absolutely to his wife. A
great many people are interested—
some of them vitally—to see whether
these two important actions will work
together for good. Practically Mr.
Stanford bequeathed Stanford univer
sity to his wife.
It is true he left the university
about $2,500,009, but that is far from
being a large enough sum to keep tho
institution running on the scale on
which it is conducted now.
Happily Mrs. Stanford’s interest in
it has alwuys been quite as lively as
her husband’s. Yet it has happened
before now that the man aud wife who
have been one so long as both have
lived have turned out to be a different
one after the man has died.—Har

Artistic Salt Cellars.
Old fashioned salt cellars are here
again, but in such artistic designs that
we greet them as novelties. The silver
eats and dogs, with their perforated
heads, no longer stand gunrd over
each plate at the table. Their success
or is much more artistic. The very
latest salt cellars aro bought by tho
dozen. They aro shaped like a pansy,
with the curled over petals in frost
tipped silver aud gilt. The salt spoon
is a tiny affair. Its handle is twisted
gold, with the bowl an exquisitely
shaped enameled pansy, which looks
like a stick pin with a deep center.
Tinted glass salt cellars encased in
silver filigree are used by tho ultra
