troduced in "Larking" this season,

A Bunaway.
An old negro woman came near
getting badly hurt down on Cotton
aveneue yesterday. She was sit
ting in a buggy when a bicyclist
passed on his wheel. The mule was
freightened, and made a jump,
throwing the woman out and bruis
ing her considerably. The mule was
caught be fora doing any further
damage.
It will be'tho biggest thing of the
kind ever gotten up in this part of
the Htate. There Is little time to
arrange things, but the people are
wrought up to such a high pitch
that they will work wonders.
The project was not mentioned
until nearly night, but was taken
up immediately and with enthusi
asm. It was talked over, subscrip
tions to defray the expenses sponta
neously offered. Plans were ar
ranged, and to-day they will crys-
talize, resulting In the jubilee to
morrow night.
Everything hat beeu arranged for
the culmination, and all that Is
now necessary is for the people
notified so they can
be ou hand and let out some of
their pent up enthusiasm. Judge
Crisp and others will deliver
speeches, and a regular old Demo
cratic love feast will be had.
Brass bands will give forth stir
ring strains, and fireworks of all
kinds will lend their beauty to the
scene. No suggestion ever met
with such a reoeptfbn as this, and
while not many could be
notified last night, every one who
heard of it seized the idea at one.
The fact is the people feel so good
over thejr sweeping victory that
they are just obliged to flud an out
let for tbelr enthusiasm.
Ho let It come, and those who
could not be notified till this morn
ing, just let yourselves out and see
how big a time we can have. Close
up the stores early and let both
proprietors and employees help cel
ebrate. Never in the history of the
psrty has there been such a victory,
and it Is right that all should bo
allowed the privilege of expressing
their Joy.
And what an enormous expres
sion it is golug to be!
If you are called on to-day to help
in any way, don’t fail to respond.
We are going to show what wo
think of the party, and waut you to
help. Of course, you waut to as
sist, and just let everything else
drop, and let your heart pour forth
its gladness

Atlanta, Nov. 0.—Both Houses
got down to business yesterday.
The Henate scored one bill read
; Ibe Hdnse had sev
eral.
Most of the day was taken up,
however, in the examination and
consolidation of the returns for the
last statu election, requiting a joint
sex-don.
The bills, It is worthy of remark,
were read in full; following the
old custom.
The committees of tho House and
Henate will probably bo announced
Monday.
THE HOUSE.
Bevera! bills were introduced and
read for the first time.
The first bill was by Clifton, of
Chatham. To Incorporate the Elec
tric .Railway Company of Savan
nah.
Baxter, of Bibb—A bill to extend
charter. Macon and Atlantio rail
road sixty years. --
Humphries, of Brooks—A bill pro
vlding for the appointment of t
board of commissioners by the ordi
nary of Brooks county to appraise
estates of all deceased persons.
Harper, of Carroll—A bill to In
corporate the Atlanta and Birming
ham railroad.
Davis, of Burke—A bill to incor
porate the Southern Exchange
Bank.
Cliftou, of Chatham—A bill to
regulate trial by jury requiring
Judges to stipulate cause of grant
ing new trials and restricting such
methods.
The first Senate’,bill—and tho only
oue, so far—wss to "creatoanew
charter for the citv of Columbus
and to consoildste and declare the
rights and powers of said corpora
tion and for other purposes"—by
Hays, of the 24tb.
It was read Id full, after the old
fashlou; as though no constitutional
amendment had ever been submit-
1. The question is not regarded
settled, but the Senate wanted to
boon the safe side; and tho old
manner of reading bills will be kept
up until the matter Is definitely de
cided iu some way.
THE CONSOLIDATED JtBTURNB,
The consolidation of the vote in
the last State election resulted as
follows:
Nortben 105,305
Cook 103,098
Hardeman.. u. 102 011
Wright fb2,621
Lester 100,033
Nesbitt 00,400
As soon the count was com
pleted with both houses adjourned
uutil ten to-morrow.
GOSSIP.
The legislature has got squarely
down to business, and ibis morning
there was a large number of new
bills introduced. From the reading
of the uew bibs it would not appear
that tfeifl was an anti-railroad legis
lature,for most of the bills wero for
the chartering of new railroads or
the amendment of charters for old
ones.
At 11 o'clock there was a Joint
meeting of the House and Henate to
o|>en and tabulate the election
turns forGovernor and State House
officers, a proceeding more monot
onous than Interesting.
The senatorial question Is the
main theme of Interest and will
continue to be so for a week, for the
election does not come until a week
from next Tuesday. The opponents
of Gordon are moving slowly in the
matter. They have held one meet
ing for the interchange of opinions,
but did not attempt to' concentrate
upon any one man. Judge Hines’
friends claim that be hoe sixty
votes, but the friends of the other
candidate* make equally as large
claims, and the result is therefore
uncertain.
The Alliencemen claim that they
have one ’hundred and r.izty-fonr
members of the legislature pledged
to oppoee Gordon and vote for any
man whom they may unite on, and
to etlek together at all haxxarde.
The general talk In the hotel cor
ridors Is that Calhoun will be the
man upon whom tba opponents of
Gordon will anlto, and many Gor
don men express a preference for
him a* second chlce, as they say if
Gordon la defeated they want a man
who has the ability to represent
Georgia with credit, and all ooneede
that Calhoun has that ability! ■
The election news has put all
Democrats In tbelr best hutppr, al
though most of them cannot fully
realize the site of the victory,
LAST NIOHT'S CAUCUS;
Seuato'shlp gossip is plentiful
this morning; principally, of
course, about tho allianoe oauout
last night.
Two things were done. First, a'
resolution was passed, without dis
sent or division, that no man be
elected, eeoator "unless ha stands
squarely upon theamnooe plat
form." This was dearly understood
to be anti-Gordon; and It seams to
show that while It Is atlll an opan
question as to who will be senator,
Gordou has no chance.
Secondly, Calhoun’s natna woo
mentioned, contrary to the general
expectation. Livingston himself
did It. The result of this was that
several alliance membari retired
from the caucus.
Of course there Is no predicting
the ultimate effect of this demon
stration. Efforts are now being
made to solidify the allianoe In
Calhoun’s Interest. Speculation
about It Is Idle.
Norwood is hero hard at work.
So Is Hines.
One of t ie best legislative storlaa
going the rounds now la one
Ex-Senator Joe Btrother, of Lin
coln—"from the dark oorner of
Lincoln," la fact. To this effect. .
Last year, while In tho Senate,
Col. Strother bad occasion to point
out the degenerate uselessness of
petitions, In which he severely rid
iculed the getting up of saeh pa
pers.
"They don’t mean anything now
aday*,’’ sold he. "This promiscu
ous signing of petitions la a nui
sance; and the way to stop Rio to
make the people that sign them re-
sponsible for what they say. Peo
ple ought to be careful In suoh
matters."
Next day tho Senator was at hla
desk when a colleague put a paper
on the desk before him.
"Joe," he said, "sign thglml
a petition to the goverm^P
What Is It?" asked Col. Btroth-
"Who signed It?"
Oh, then, duBIgnon, and Steve
Clay and John T. Hall—everybody
but you."
And the unsuspecting colonel
actually signed this petition: "We,
tho undersigned membere of the
House and Senate, respectfully pe
tition your excellenoy to have Joe
Strother, of the 29th, hanged until
he Is dead."
The paper is still Inexlstenoe,
and amongst the signatures la
that of Hon. Joe Strother, of tba
20th.
The paper baa never bean pre
sented to (he Governor, and Col.
Strother hasn’t been hung yet, but
the Joke'was complete.
Note—Bob Lewie, of Hanoook,
odds that a movement Is on foot In
the Senate—in which body Col.
Strother Is now dark—to present
the petition and have the sentenoe
carried into effect.
