running to and from the
circus grounds wero packed, aud
mostly by negroes. The conductors
on these cars are young boys, who
know how tocdlect fares, but when
it comes to 'controlling a mob of
boisterous and insolent blanks, they
ure unable to do so. With most ot
them they iiail no trouble, but
eral had to be shown how they
should act.
Oue negro refused to pay fills fare
to the young conductor, and on be
ing told tiiat he had to, let out a
volley of outlie, cursing the boy in
tiie vilest language.
When the junction at Forsyth
street ;was reached, Gapt. Reese
was notified, and approached the
negro, asked for ths fare and
moustrated with hliu for Uia ac
tions and curses. To this tbe negro
paid no more attention that to curse
the superintendent, who Inimedl
ately knocked him down, and as a
result now carries a badly bruised
hand. Mr. Geddings, one of the
motor men, also had to bruise up
mother negro for the same reason.
Mr. Jim Cloud hadamoreaerl
ous difficulty. Ho Is also a motor-
man, aud had to shoot a negro In
self defense, aud in defense of
lives and property. When nearly
out to the circus grounds, the fel
low refused to pay his fare and
cursed the conductor. Mr. Cloud
overheard thin and informed him
that if he wouldn’t pay he would
put him ofl*. The negro then
cursed him, and Mr. Cloud
■topped the car. As he did so
and stepped to the grouud
negro also stepped off and picking
ip a large stick and a rock ad
auced, cursing aud threatening to
III everybody connected with tbe
line. Mr. Cloud warned him to
stop, and pulling out a pistol threat-
ened to shoot. At this the negro
drew back nud was just about to
burl tiie rock, when ;Mr. Cloud
tired. He missed his mark aud the
n--gro continued advancing. He
fired twice more, oue of the balls
hitting the negro in the shoulder.
euough for him, aud drop
ping his weapons, he turned and
iado off at a lively gait.
Tin* wound was not a serious one,
aud nothing has been heard of him
since.

Atlanta, Nov. 5.—-Speaker Clark
Howell It Is 1
His election this morning waa _
foregone conclusion; but tbs tri
umph lost none of its brilliancy on
that account.
At the last moment before this
House met Rob Burner came oat,
throwing his strength to Hod
H. Cutts, of Humter.
The vote stood:
Howell, 143.
Cutts, 24.
The tesult wai greeted with great
enthusiasm aud prolonged cheers.
Hon. Mark Hardin was re-elect*
e ! clerk without opposition.
There was a fight between Jim
Smith, of Coffee, aud Molnnls, of
Irwin, for messenger. Smith was
messenger and Melnuia a member
of the last House. Smith waa elect-
1 on the first ballot.
Then came the only House con-
teat In which there waa a real ele
ment of uncertainty—that between
Moses Martin, of Gwinnett, and R.
J. Wilson, of Rlobmoud, for door
keeper. Martin la a one-legged sol
dler; Wilson a one-armed one. Tbe
vote stood: Wilson, 113, Martin,
20, electing Wilson. Georgs A,
Smith, ot Milton, reoeived 18 votes,
The result was decided largely by
the nominating speeches.
Paul Trammell, of Whitfield, tb#
Alliance oaucue nominee, #as
elected Speaker pro tern without
opposition.
IN THE 8ENATH.
The Senate was organised by
Hon. Bill Harris, ot Worth, the
■eoretary of ths last Senate. All
44 members were present Prayer
was bad by Rev. J. Jonas, of Atlan
ta, chaplain of the last Senate. The
members were then sworn In by
Judge C. J. Welborn.
Tbe first business was ths elec
tion of a presiding officer. Only
two names wars pot on nomination,
Hon. R. G. Mitchell, of Thomas,
and Hon. J. P. Walker, of tbs 12th.
Mr. Mltohsll was olccted, receiv
ing 20 votes.
Next came tbe election of secre
tary. There fM only one nomina
tion, and Hon. W. A. Harris was
rs-slsotsd unanimously. R.
Paulk, of Irwin, was sleeted mes
senger on the first ballot L.* J.
Allred, Plokeni, waa elected door
keeper without opposition.
For president protein, Hon. Gee,
W. Warren, of the 18tb, was sleeted
oo tbs first ballot
Tbs organisation was completed
by the election of Rev. J. Jones, as
chaplain.
A Joint committee was appointed
to notify ths governor of ths organ
isation of ths two houses, and to
stats that they wart ready to re
ceive any communication from
him.
Ths governor’s usual message was
not ready for delivery; end that
part of tbs opening exercises was
omitted.
Ths Senate adjourned a few min
utes before 1 o’clock, to mss* again
at tbs morning session. *
The hones adjourned a few min
utes later.
MAY R8SIOM.
The statement was mads hare this
morning that Chief Justice Logan
E. Bleckley would resign within *
short while.
I can find no confirmation direct,
bat tbs rnmor is plainly credited.
The significance of this appears
upon ths symposium that Judge J.
K. Hines will be mads chief jus-
ties ; taking him out of ths race for
U. S. Senate and throwing his
strength to Gordon. Ths ehlef Jus
tice, It will be remembered, la a
brother-in-law to the governor—n
(act which leads some weight to the
talk about tho resignation.

iku a farmer, and old acquaint
ances must imvu him pointed out
to recognize him. He 1ms been in
consultation with Livlngatou for
TIIH CAUCUS.
Tho alliance caucus to-night was
generally anti-Gordon, with no ef
fort yet to concentrate on any one
Gordon’s full strength, his
friends admit, is 60 voles.
POLITICAL rOTPUUBI.
Tbe election of Howell as speaker
by a voto of 143 for Howell to 24
for Cutts, Is proof that the Alii-
aaco not only coutrol this Legisla
ture, but that it is disposed to us#
its power.
While IIowoll received the vote
of many Gordon men, yet his can
didacy was regarded as a fair test
of the anti-Gordon strength. The
fact that Col. Cutts is a ffroifryv *
Gordon man vs» against him IOTfe
race, for inuiiy who would bavn
preferred personally to vote for
him refused to do ho on the ground
that It would be giving aid to Gor
don.
When tho alliance caucus decided
to nnko Howell Us candidate, It
evident that there was no hops
of success for auy other candidate.
Mr. Berner, who claimed sixty
votes, knew this, and this morning
withdrew, but iHciued to be unable
transfer his strength to Cutts.

that, owing to sickness and ths d^
lay of trains, he did not arrlvs hare
until late last night and had no op*
portuuity of making a personal

Ills now generally oonosded, even
by his friends, that Gen. Gordon
stands no chance of election to tho v
Senate. There wa« a rumor to-day \
U..U.M I —T
tlmt Gov. Brown would ho re- l
