WATSON OR BLACK ?
The Georgia Contest Case in the
House Under Consideration.
BLASDS BILL ETERNALLY DEAD.
The Election Contest Cane* to he Finally
Disponed Of—The Work In Both
Branches of Congress—Wash
ington News and Gossip.
Washington. April 5. —The elections
committee of the house today took up
the contest of Thomas E. Watson for
the seat in congress now occupied by
J. C. Black.
John T. West and B. M. Gross, of
Thomson, the attorneys for Mr. Wat
son, arrived in the city yesterday.
Major Black is not certain whether or
not any of his attorneys will be here,
but if not he will state his own case
before the committee.
Nothing sensational is expected to
develop, as the evidence on both sides
has been on hand for some time.
The postmaster-general has decapi
tated the two Georgia republican post
masters of the presidential class. Geo.
S. Haines was appointed postmaster at
Savannah, and J. W. F. I.owrey at
Dawson. The term of the republican
postmaster in Savannah would not
have expired for several months.
Charges were filed against him some
time ago, and there was considerable
delay, ow ng to the investigation which
was ordered and tfle charges and coun
ter-charges which came pouring in
from Savannah.
Senator Patrick Walsh is expected at
the capital tonight. As soon as he ar
rives he will he promptly sworn in.
Among the petitions and memorials
presente.l in the senate was one by Sen
ator Gordou, being a protest of Baptist
churches at Atlanta, Ga., against the
constitutional amendment proposed by
Morse, of Massachusetts, recognizing
the deity in the preamble to the con
stitution. It was referred to the judi
ciary committee.
In the House.
Washington, April 5. —When a quo
rum was obtained the resolution before
the house was read. It was to the ef
fect that English had not been elected
a representative from the Third district
of California. The yeas and nays were
called, resulting: Yeas, 12; nays, 167;
democrats and populists only voting.
*‘Thc no**® have it: auostitute is
not agreed to,’’ said the speaker. •
The majority resolution, seating Eng
lish, was adopted, uud English was
•worn in.-
After the call of committees for re
ports, Bland called up his seigniorage
bill.
Bland being recognized, moved that
the bill be passed, the objections of the
president to the contrary notwith
standing. He stated that upon this
motion he would demand the previous
question at 3 o’clock Saturday after
noon. [Cries of “Vote! Vote!”] In the
confusion which prevailed, while the
matter of an agreement upon closing
debate was being discussed, no attempt
was made to speak on the bill or mess
age until after the speaker had put the
question of the passage of the bill and
the roll call had begun.
The vote upon Bland’s motion was:
Yeas, 144; nays, 115. Not the necessary
two-thirds in the affirmative.

The Man Who Knew Himself Not Is Criti
cally 111.
Asheville, N. C., April s.—lt has
been settled that the man who lost his

Winston, came to Asheville yesterday
afternoon on her way to Notla, a town
in the extreme western part of the
state, where her son has been since he
left Atlanta. Her husband has been
with Draughan some time. He is criti
cally ill.
Mrs. Ingram called at the register’s
office to inquire about the date of
Draughan's marriage to Miss Powell
here. To Deputy Register Robertson
she said her son was able to talk, but
had never recovered his memory. She
will take him back to Winston in a few
days. She said Draughan's first wife,
who lives at Salem, was the cause of
all his trouble. Mrs. Ingram left for
the west this morning.

THE HENRY W. LONG CASE.
No Voting Quorum Appeared and the Nom
inal noil Not Yet Disposed Of.
Washington, April 5.— -The senate
consumed two hours again in an effort
to dispose of the nomination of Henry
W. Long, to be register of the Florida
land office. No voting quorum ap
peared, and the senate adjourned with
the case still in statu quo.
The vote was taken on Mr. Pasco’s
motion to recommit the nomination to
the committee, but Mr. Call and his
followers, who are in the majority, re
fused to permit this to be done. Mr.
Pasco insisted that the man be given
another hearing before the committee,
and Mr. Call asserted that it was suffi
cient to know that the nominee was his
bitterest enemy and that the nomina
tion had been made as a personal af
front to him. This led to some warm
words between the two Florida sena
tors, but nothing approaching the sen
sational.

tion. Shilling then tried to shoot him
self, but his aim was bad. He has dis
appeared.

RIOT AFTER REVELRY
A Skirt Dance Stnrfcs the Row,
Which Ende in Bloodshed.
MURDER AS THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.
The Tragic Part of a Comedy—Fatal Con
clusion ot a Fashionable Club Ball
In New York City—lntense
Excitement Prevails.
New York, April s.— From revelry to
riot was but a step, and a short one at
that, at the masque ball of the Carmen
cita club iu Tammany hall about 3
o’clock yesterday morning. There
were upon the floor and in the boxes
not far from 1,500 persons, and though
the bar was closed there was no lack
of intoxicants, so that when the dis
turbance b.gan many persons were
crazed with drink.
Roundsman Shay preeipitated the
trouble by undertaking to stop the per
formance that was going on in a box
occupied by Eddie Hirtch, the keeper
of a Coney Island dance hall, and a
party of his friends. The officer was
told to mind his own business where
upon he tried to pull Hirseh from the
box.
Instantly a rush ivas made for the of
ficer. Other policemen in the hall
went to Shay's assistance. Bottles
and chairs were made use of by the
crowd. Clubs were swung lustily and
many heads felt the force of the lo
custs. In the midst of the affray the
lights were extinguished, but the
struggle did not even then abate.
When the lights were again turned
on one man was lying deal upon the
steps leading to the street. His name
was Terrence Gallagher, aged 33 years,
a race track tout, whose residence was
122 East 125th street. Mark Buckner,
a Baxter street puller-in, had his head
cracked, and may die. George Bern
stein, a barkeeper, was badly cut in
the hand.
The fight lasted until a call sent to
the nearest police station had brought
to the hall a detail of officers strong
enough to overawe the frenzied crowd.
It is alleged that Roundsman Shay,
whose effort to stop a skirt dance iD
Eddie Hirsch's box brought on the
row. had been drinking, and was, in
fact, drunk.
THE PACKWOOD TRIAL.
Slight Sensation in Court—Kvidence Pro
ceeded With.
Tavares, Fla., April 5. -The third
day of the Packwood murder trial
opened with a mild sensation. Judge
Broome, who is presiding in the case,
furnished it. He •; cirvanc’-," that if
any newspaper commented on the evi
dence he would immediately bar all re
porters from the court. Testimony
was proceeded with.
Francis Packwood, brother-in-law of
Miss Adelaide Bruce, one of the vic
tims, then resumed the stand and com
pleted his testimony. There was noth
ing striking brought out. Several
other witnesses were examined, but
their evidence had nothing of a sensa
tional nature. It will be several days
before it will be possible to judge of
the strength of the evidence against
the accused.
BURLESQUING COXEY.
The Arm jr That is Marching to Washing

Cincinnati, April 5.—A burlesque on
Coxey’s commonweal army broke forth
in Lockland yesterday. Fifty of
the electioneers for the various
candidates, who were defeated, mounted
horses, sat in carts, buggies and
tramped the streets with banners, imi
tating those alleged to be the standards
of Coxey. The paraders included two
councilmen of the town, a band of
music and a number of laboring men
at present out of work. Nearly all the
youngsters of the town joined in the
procession, which took the town by
storm. * .

TOSELLTHE E. T..V.ANDG. ROAD.
The Central Trust Company of New York
Asks This Permission.
Knoxville, Tenn., April s.—The
Central Trust company of New York,
asking for the sale of the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia Railway sys
tem is being argued before Judge
“Horace H. H. Lurton, of the United
States circuit court of appeals here.
The petition is a very important one,
and has attracted to Knoxville Samuel
Spencer, receiver. C. H. Costler, chair
man of the reorganization committee,
General Samuel Thomas. S. T. Josline,
of the Central Trust company, and
Francis L. Stetson, of the reorganiza
tion committee, all of New York.
The Trust Company is trustee for
about forty-five million of bonds of the
East Tennessee road. The Truest Com
pany*£rays for the sale of the road,
hence there will be no objection to the
sale, and it will doubtless be ordered,
it being virtually agreed on, and that
event will allow Drexel, Morgan & Cos.
to proceed with their plan of reorgani
zation.
ENCOURAGING TO SILVER MEN.
Pleased with Mexico’s Threat to Stop Inter
est on Her Foreign Indebtedness.
Washington, April s.—The threat of
Guatemala and Mexico to stop the pay
ment of interest on their foreign and
bonded indebtedness unless the price
of silver is increased, has encouraged
the silver men in congress. The re
quest of these countries for a confer
ence, on silver was received at the state
department some months ago, but Sec
retary Gresham, at the advice of the
president, paid no attention to it.
It is said that President Cleveland
will consent to no monetary confer
ence with Latin American countries.
He says he wants an international con
ference, and wants either England or
Germany, or both, to issue the invita
tions.

ANOTHER CAROLINA MURDER.
Negro Cook Killed In Darlington for Talk
ing Too Much.
Darlington, S. C., April s.—At the
Cleveland house here last evening Dr.
Spain shot and killed a negro cook, who
had reported him as being one of those
who were concerned in the dispensary
transaction which caused the recent
riots. Spain was at once arrested by a
squad of soldiers who were in charge
of the hotel and taken to police head
quarters. Everything is now quiet
and there is apparently no danger of
further trouble. Two companies of
militia marched double quick from the
camp, however, for the purpose of
thoroughly policeing the city.
ALABAMA SHERIFF KILLED.
Negro Desperado Shot Him Dead and
Avoided Arrest.
Ropton, April 5.—J. D. Foster, sheriff
of Monroe county, was shot and killed
at Monroeville last night by a negro,
Wyatt Tait. The sheriff, with a posse
of men, went to Tait’s house to arrest
him, and he was secluded in the woods
near by and shot the sheriff as he ap
proached the building. This same ne
gro shot and killed Deputy Sheriff
William Ikener about ten days ago.
The negro is still at large, heavily
armed with pistols and a Winchester
rifle with a full supply of ammunition.

style. All of the material used in the
sewers will be manufactured in Macon.
Work will be completed in about ten
months.
' FIRE IN THE LONDON DOCKS.

With Materials.
• London, April s.—An immense ware
house in the London docks, in which
were large quantities of wool, coffee,
.spices and quicksilver, caught fire yes
terday and is still burning. Owing to
the contents and the difficulties of the
firemen in getting at the flames, it is
expected that two days more will elapse
before the fire is wholly extinguished,
ASSUIHEDTHE NAME.
Col. Breckinridge and Mrs. Wing
Registered Falsely.
THE COLONEL LEAVES THE STAND.
Judge Wilson Asks the Defendant All
.Manner of Questions, and firings
Interesting Testimony Out in
Court—The Particulars.
Washington, April s.— Judge Wilson
began the examination of Colonel
Breckinridge with reference to the vil
lage of Goldsborougii, Ivy., and asked
him if he delivered a speech there in
1885.
The defendant thought not; then
Judge Wilson asked if he remembered
saying to the servant woman at Mrs.
Thomas', on the day after he had taken
lunch there with .Miss Pollard, “Mary,
that was very nice lunch, and when
Madeline and I go to housekeeping I
want you to come with us.’’
“Oh, that's not true; that's a mere
fancy sketch,” said Breckinridge, with
a laugh. “There’s not a word of truth
in it.”
Wilson was particularly desirous of
knowing whether Breckinridge had
ever made any expressions of love and
offection to the plaintiff, and the de
fendant said that he had never used
such expressions to Miss Pollard.
“I did, however,” he said, “use ex
pression of kindliness”, and I was par
ticularly careful to he good and kind to
her when she was in delicate health. I
tried to make her take up some occu
pation and to keep her mind busy.
In answer to Judge Wilson the de
fendant said that he had told the plain
tiff many times that marriage between
them was impossible.
“I told her,” he said, “that she could
not expect me to marry her after her
illicit relations with Rhodes, and that
after she had bled Rhodes for three
years, and then thrown him away like
a sucked orange I could not contem
plate a marriage with her or look upon
her as a wife whom I could trust, or
whom 1 could take into my family.”
After questioning the witness about
his trip to New York in April, 1893,
when he was married, and his meeting
with the plaintiff at the Hoffman
house, Judge Wilson handed Colonel
Breckinride a paper, ad asked him if
that was a fac simile of marriage
certificate.
Colonel Breckinridge said that it
looked like the original, but he saw it
was not.
“When you put down on this certifi
cate that you had been married once,
was that true?” he was asked.
“L started to write in answer to the
question as to how many times I had
been married, and I asked Dr. Paxton
if it were necessary to state that this
was my third marriage, and he said it
was not necessary, so I thoughtlessly
put it in once instead of twice.”
He filled in the certificate because Dr.
Paxton was suffering from nervous
headache, he said. He told Paxton to
keep it a secret. In answer to the
question he said he and his wife on the
night of their marriage went to the
hotel Lagreen, Eighteenth street and
Broadway, and registered under the
name of William J. Campbell and wife.
After Judge Wilson had made Colonel
Breckinridge say that Miss Pollard
went in the best society in Washing
ton; that she lived at most respectable
houses, and that her social standing
was of the best, he asked if there was
th n any social impediment to the mar
riage of plaintiff and himself, and
Colonel Breckinridge admitted that
there was nothing known to the world
that could act as an impediment.
Colonel Breckinridge ended his testi
mony after having been on the stand
almost continuously since Thursday.
This afternoon the defense may submit
some additional testimony, but it is
more likely that the rebuttal of the
plaintiff s evidence will begin, and
there is every indication that all the
evidence will be before the jury when
the court adjourns over on Friday until
Monday. The day was not sensational.
NOT GOOD IN MACON.
A Two-Dollar North Carolina Bill Gets a
Young Man Into Trouble.
Macon, Ga., April s.—Arthur Allen,
a plumber, who has for the past two
years been working for several plumb
ers in the city, was arrested yesterday
by Officer Sheridan on a complaint
made by a negro barkeeper on Cotton
avenue, who charged him with endeav
oring to pass worthless money.
When arrested Allen had in his pos
session a two-dollar bill on the Bank of
Mecklenburg, X. C., which is the bill
the barkeeper said he tried to pass on
him. Allen said he got the bill from
Charles Waehtel’s store, where he
bought a hat for 82.50, gave the clerk a
five-dollar bill, and received the two
dollar bill and 50 cents in silver in
change. Mr. Wachtel denied that the
bill had ever been in his store.
Allen was \aken to the store, but
could not identify the clerk from whom
he received the bill, although he had
left his old hat at the store when he
bought the new one.
The officers say that Allen attempted
to pass the bill on several people and
was told that it was worthless before
he attempted to pass it on the bar
keeper.

THE MAYOR TALKS AGAIN.
Speaks Plainly of Governor Tillman and
Ills Recent Address.
Darlington, S. C., April s.—Mayor
Dargan has made another statement
for publication, this one in rejoindePto
Governor Tillman's speech. He says,
among other things:
“There are one or two inaccurate
statements of his which I do not like to
pass over without correcting. He says,
speaking of the constables, that they
had been sent there because the mayor
had allowed them to be insulted and
cursed to their faces. If the governor
was so informed that I, as mayor, al
lowed that, his informant is a liar.
This is the first information I have
ever received of such a fact. He says
again two boys, mere stripplings, got
into a fight, and some fifty men, armed
to the teeth, went to the depot and
picked a quarrel with the constables,
and men on both sides were killed. I
don’t know who informed him of this
fact, but whoever did so just lied, and
knew he lied when he gave such infor
mation. Again he says the fault can
not be clearly placed and possibly never
will be known. As to that the gov
ernor is a very badly informed man if
he lays that flattering unction to his
soul, and I venture the prediction that
he will find the fault clearly placed,
and that it will be found that the con
stables simply did everything else but
their duty.”

well in St. Luke’s hospital in this city.
