Two Mormon elders whose backs were touched by lashes and switches in the hands of Georgians somewhere in Hart county last September want damages from persons who are said to have had a hand in the flogging. It is through the United States court that the men are seeking the wealth of Hart and Franklin county citizens, suits having been filed by each of the complainants before Judge Newman in Atlanta. On the night of September 23, last, B F. Stewart, who avers he is a citi zen of Arizona, and L. F. Zundel, who claims Utah as his state of residence, were in Georgia teaching and preach ing, so it was said at that time. They were the guests of O. T. Shirley, near Bowersville, when they were summon ed to the door by a party of men. An swering the summons, they instantly found themselves surrounded by a party sufficient in strength to have conquered an army. They were car ried away from the home of their friend and host, nothwithstanding their protestations and their declara tions that they were doing nothing to disturb the peace. Not far from the Shirley home they were searched for weapons, but nothing was found. Then, though they protested, they were whipped by their captors with switches, leather and sticks, their pain and suffering, they declare in their bill, being intense.

SENATORS CENSORED Case of Tillman and McLaurin Is Finally Disposed of. TILLMAN IN SUPPRESSED RAGE He Tells Senate That Among Gentle men an Apologetic Statement Is Usually Considered Sufficient. As soon as the Journal was approv ed in the senate Friday Senator Bur rows presented the resolution of cen sure upon Senators Tillman and Mc Laurin. The report of the committee read in the senate says that the offense of Tillman was much greater than that of McLaurin. Mr. Bailey presented a report of the democrats agreeing to the resolu tion, but dissenting from the majority that there was a difference in the gravity of the offense. They also disagreed from the ma jority that a senator might fie sus pended. The report of the three dissenting republicans submitted by Mr. McCo mas asserted that the offenses of the South Carolina senators were unequal and the punishment should not be the same. The minority report favored suspension of McLaurin for five days and of Tillman for twenty days. Mr. Pritchard did not concur with McComas and Beveridge as to inflic tion of punishment of McLaurin and asserted that he had merely been suf ficiently punished. The roll was called on the adoption of the majority report of the commit tee on privileges and election. Senators Beveridge, Clark (Wyo.), Deboe, Deitrich, Foster (Wash.), Kit tredge, Millard, Pritchard, Proctor and Scott voted “no” on the resolution. It was carried. Mr. Kean, of New Jersey, having voted in the affirmative said that in view of the remark of Mr. Tillman he would change his vote. When the result of the vote was an nounced, Mr. Burrows demanded that Mr. Tillman’s words be taken down. When the words were read, Mr. Till man said he did not intend his words to be offensive, and if they were he would withdraw them. “Without objection,” said President Pro Tempore Frye, “they will be with drawn.” Mr. Hoar presented an additional rule looking to the prevention of such occurrences in the future, which was referred. Tillmam. In Suppressed Rage. Senator Tillman showed a great de gree of suppressed rage at the cen sure administered, while McLaurin seemed cool and collected. After the vote was announced Till man left the senate floor and sought seclusion in a cloak room, where he vainly tried to control his passion. He paced up and down the f/oor like a caged tiger. His great anger was first manifested during roll call on the resolution ad ministering the reprimand to him and Senator McLaurin alike. As one senator after another voted “aye” Tillman’s surprise became more pronounced, until, as the clerk ap proached his name, surprise changed to evident rage. His face grew pale, his countenance became stern and set as if defiance strove to break out from his soul into words. Then the clerk called “Tillman.” The senator arose, his frame rocking with passion. “Among gentlemen,” ke said “an apology for an offense committed in heat of blood is usually considered suf ficient.” These were his first words on the floor of the senate since the fight As he sat down, his face became liv id and so remained until the vote was finished Senator Tillman was asked if he would have anything more to say re garding the action of the senate. He replied: “No; I’m done.” GILBERT TO INVESTIGATE. Noted Architect to Tackle Atlanta, Ga., Depot Problem. Bradford L.
