Atlanta, Nov. 24.—A bill *M
introduced in the House to-day in
creasing tin number of truiteeaof
the Technological school from 6 to
7; requiring that three of thatnum*
her shall reside in Atlanta. This Is
done to ins ire the attendance of a
quorum ah rays at the meetings,
A bill was Introduced by Mr,
Goodwin, cf Fulton, “for the pro
tection of discharged employes and
to prevent blacklisting.” The bill
makes what is ordinarily known as
“blacklisting” a misdemeanor.
Mr. Martin, of;Fulton, Introduced
a bill "to regulate the number of
brakemen on railroad freight trains
in this titate,” for the protection of
tho lives of railroad employees;
requiring -five brakeinmi where
there are not in the train three
power brak ?s In operation.
Another important bill is a gener
al temperance measure by Martin,
of Fulton. It provides for a dispen
sary ("for the sale of alcoholic liq-
for medicinal, scientific, and
mechanical purposes”) in dry
counties that want It. In cities of
oyer 1,600 inhabitants, this Is left to
the city government; in counties.
here there are no cities so large it
Is left to the grand Jury.
The dispensary contemplated !■
like that now in operation
Barnesvllle, Ga., said to be working
very satisfactory.
A number of local bills were in
troduced, or passed, hut none of
thorn specially important.
THE SENATE.
When the roll was called this
morning for the introduction of
new bills, only three Senators re
sponded. Only one of the three
bills was of a general nature. That
by Sen. Smith of the 28th. It
proposes to amend Art. 8 Sco. 0 Par.
1 of the constitution, allowing
members of the general assembly
$4 a day. It proposes instead to al
low a salary of $300; only the speak
er of the House aud the president
of the Senate being paid per diem.
Something In the nature of a sen
sation was sprung this morning by
SenXlulver, In a resolution about
the LunaUo Asylum. It simply
authorises the obalman of the Joint
oommlttee on Luuatlo Asylum
(Ben. Nunnally) to employ an ex
pert to ^examine the books of the
as/lnmtyr the past twelve months,
or longer if necessary.
The Investigation is to begin dur
ing the visit of the committee to
MlUedgeville—Just after the 27th,
that is, when the legislature goes
there to witness the laying of the
oorner-stone of the Girlo Normal
end Industrial oollege.
'The resolution,” said Sen. Cul
ver, "oarefully avoids charging
mal-admtnlstratlon, even by in
ference. But there are auoh
charges m.ide. The books are
loosely kept; and this Immense ap
propriation Of over $200,000 Jb ex
pended without any account ren
dered to the State. •
"It Is time sudh an Investigation
was had. That is too large a sum
to be taken from the treasury and
expended in the dark, even by an
honest man. The .management of
the asylum should be put upou a
safer business basis.”
The resolution was pas-ed.
Another Important action was
that concerning the formation of a
new Judioial circuit, made up of
the ooontles of Polk, Paulding and
Haralson; to be known as tho Talla-
pooso circuit. It had alre ady beta
paised bjtbe House, and It was
passed to-day by the Senate.
Two candidates for tlpe Judg-
shlpare on hand already—Chat.
G t Jones, at present Solicitor of
"His Excellenoy, Hon. W. J.
Northen.
Dear Sir:—On the 27th day of
December next the present lease of
the State road, entered Into between
the State of Georgia and the West
ern and Atlantic It. R. Co., will ex
pire. The claim of the lessees for
improvements upon the property
and taxes paid In Tennessee, aggre
gating (according to the report of
the Commissioners to the General
Assembly of 1888) about $560,000,
remains unadjusted. The lessees
believe the claim in Its entirety to
be Just. If It should not sll be, a
portion of It at least seems to be
conceded. There is, therefore, la
my J udgment some aotion by the
General Assembly advisable In
order to prepare the way for an
amicable settlement, •
The lessees desire In every way
possible to avoid any complications
which might grow out of a failure
to reach, a fair settlement. May
we not, therefore, respectfully ask
that you invite the attention of the
General Assembly to the question,
I am, very respectfully,
Jos. E. Brown, President.
The message was referred to the
Senate committee on railroads.
A mopibor of the legislature
leaves in the morning to get mar
ried. This Is Dr. 8. W. Johnson,
of Appling county. Hft bride is
Miss Mamie Anthony, of Mont
gomery county. The oeremohy Is
to be performed Thursday, at the
residence of the bride's parents, at
Spring Hill.
