Atlanta, Dec. 17.—The Senate passed the Twltty bill this morning —the Simon pure, the original Twltty bill, exactly aa It paased the House, and exaetly as it was in troduced. The play of the opponents of the bill has been to delay aatlon, and finally amend it in the Senate so that it would have to go book 1 to the House for action, and finally ad journ beofre the bill conld beoome a law. But this morning, when the bill came up under the head of* unfin ished business, amendments were scaled off in one-two-tbree order. First, the committee amendments were killed—those proposed by Twltty himself. Then the other amendments were laid out just as fast as they could be voted upon. The naked bill was left finally. This Is a copy of it: Ah Act to. declare all obligations to pay attorney’s fees, in addition to the Interest specified therein, upon any note or other evidences of Indebtedness, void and of no ef fect, and to prohibit the collection of the same, and for other purposes. Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, and •t Is hereby euaoted by authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this Act, all obligations to pay attorneys fees upoqaoy note or other evidences of indebtedness, In addition to the rate of interest specified therein Is hereby declared to be absolutely void, and no court shall have power to enforce suoh contraot and agreement to pay snob attorney fees, unless aiplea or pleas be filed)by the defendant, and not sustained. Sec. 2. Belt furtherenaoted by authority aforesaid, That aliTaws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act be, and the same are, hereby repealed. I The vote stood j Ayes 25, Nays 14. The bill was passed. The action of the friends of this measure was a surprise to its oppo nents, but It was the only safe way. It leaves the bill in the hands of the Governor, His signature will make It a law; his veto would kill the bill. Much of the oredlt for the passage of the bill is due Senator Elling ton, of the 29tb, the “Alliance par liamentarian” of the Senate. THE APPROPRIATIONS. The appropriation bill was taken up In the Senate, by seotlons, and put upon lta passage. Seetlon 1, about exclusive sal aries, was passed as it came fro pa the House. Section 2, about salaries of the Ju- dlolary, was passed In the same way, without dlsousslon. See. 8, concerning the salaries of the legislature and its attaohees, was passed. Then See, 4, that’s where the fight opened up, first on the branch college appropriations. The bill as It oomes up for action, provides for branoh colleges at Dahlonega, MU- ledgeville, TbomatvUle, Cutbbert, HamUton, 'Forsyth, Waynesboro, Thomson, Sparta, Brunswick, GreenvUle and Balnbridge. These appropriations were op posed by Senators Glenn, Irvine, Nnnnally, Zachary, Hodges, Cul pepper and Lane. They were favored by Senators Mitchell, Williams, CaUaway, Harp, HUI and Cabanisa. The Senate then adjourned for a night session. IN THB HOUSE. The bill of Atkinson, of Coweta, Increasing the number of fertilizer inspectors from six to ten, was passed. No Inorease of appropria tion for salaries la provided for— the ten to require only as much as six bkve heretofore. Calvln’e blU, requiring the In spection of all ootton seed meal, was passed. The appointment# of the inspectors provided fot is to be made by the State Chemist. JUDO a FORT APPOINTED. Judge Alien Fort, of Americas, was to-day appointed Railroad Commissioner by the Governor. The appointment will be confirmed by the Senate to-morrow. THE BRANCH COLLBOB*. ♦ i*' The branoh coUege fight, in the Senate ended In that aeeMea ef the appropriation bill beiag Pt-referred to the finance committee. The only thing certain Is that the Senate will have a great many branoh col leges, or none at all. OLD LESSEES’ MEETING. The State road lessees hold an Important meeting here to-morrow. It Is the last meeting before the expiration of their lease. There Is nothing special to say about the Western & Atlantic, so far as the legislature lseoneerned. THE ZACHARY RESOLUTION. The Hoose committee consider ed the Zaohry resolution, and ev erybody had an opinion to express. But so diverse were these opinions that there was no attempt to get together. To-morrow the resolu tion will be read the second time and the committee will consider It again. CLIFTON FOR CONGRESS. The talk to-night Is the Con gressional boom of Representative Win. Clifron, of Savannah. His friends are boosting him for the position of Congressmen from the State-at-large In the event Georgia Is found to be entitled to another seat. Thousands of mothers bless the name of Dr. John Bull for Invent- Ine his celebrated Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroyers. Children tease for them and they never fall to do good. * THE ELECTION YESTERDAY. A Small Vote Polled at the City Elec tion. The city,electlon is over. And of coqrse the Democratic nominees were elected without op position. vf.-"' Hon. John R. Felder Is Mayor. Mr. D. K. Brinson is Clerk and Treasurer. Messrs. J. A. Daven port, J. E. Bivins and W. K. Wheatley are the new Alderpien. That’s the tleket nominated by the primary, and elected yesterday. Mr. Felder received 153 votes. Mr. Brinson reoeived 166. Mr. Bivins 164. Mr. Davenport 156. And Mr. Wheatley 155. That’s all there is to say. The election was as quiet a one as was ever held In Americas. There was not the slightest excitement at any time, and everything passed off with the greatest quietude. One could hardly tell that it was elec tion day, and many of the voters registered forgot that it was the day to oast their ballots. As will be seen by the votes given above, few voted, and the day was devoid of Interest. The bar rooms were closed, and bnt for a few noticing this fact, they would not have known tuat the eleetlon waa taking place. APPOINTED A RAILROAD COMMIS SIONER BY GOV.

Appointed yesterday by Govern or Northen. That’s the good news The Re corder gave the people yesterday. For two or three days thla ap pointment has been Impatiently awaited, and when known yester day general rejoicing was the re sult. All were looking for It, and ex- peeted it. But there Is nothing like being certain. This registers onee when the South Georgia dead line was crossed, and a South Georgian given a position. It was an excellent move of our new Governor, and one that is appreciated. For South Georgia should certainly be repre sented, and of all the men who should be a railroad commissioner, Judge Fort leads the list. That he Is an able, intelligent and Intellectual gentleman Is admitted by all. That he Is the man for the position Is a potent fact to all who know anything of his work. No man In the8tate knows more of railroads and their relatlonf tothe people than he, and no onefs more capable of filling the position with justice to all. He is the man who, seeing the neoesstty, Introduced the resolution In the 1 legislature creating suoh a commission, and to whom lta organization Is doe. In the House hie highest powers were devoted'to the passage of this bill, seeking to have this arbitrator organized. Sncceas mat his efforts, and since that time,"n'before, he has studied the problem relating to It. No better versed man in rail road affairs oan be found, and he Is above all others the man for the plaoe. Yesterday, the news was sent out by The Recorder, and the Judge waa kept busy accepting congratu lations until long after night. The Recorder adds Its voice to these, and congratulates Judge Fort on hie appointment, South Georgia and Americas as being represented, and the State on having suoh an able man to serve It. A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OfMaJ. T. M. Barlow by the Farmer** A NOVEL IDEA. A Whole Amerlous Barroom Given Away. Folks usually don’t objeot to tab lag a free drink. That Is, some folks. Well, they will soon have an op* portuntty to get a whole barroom for nothing. The Allen House bar, fixtures and all, will be given toone person wbloh msy be you, at an early date. The proprietor desires to sell oqt, and will adopt a novel plan of doing so. Instead of telling ont at onoe at wholesale, he will do so gradu ally to his friends and customers. Here’s bis idea. To every per son who bays, a check will be given of the amount of bis pure bass. When $5 worth of oheoktare gotten they oan be returned, and atiokat will be given him. Then at the end of a given time, say two or three months, the present proprie tor will resign, and the bar room with all its contents tamed over to the holders of these tickets. These can then eettle it amonjg themselves as to which one Is the owner. Thoj oan then riffleArihprdo what they please with it. It will be theirs Jointly, and they can settle It in any way they desire aa to who la to have it. It’s a new idea, and one that will take wel).

Ae brother AUianeemen we monrn onr bereavement and claim,the right to stand among the slneerest of those who shed tears of keenest sorrow, over hie grave. Anions those who admired his character and seek to emulate hia virtues, we stand In the foromost rank. In all the relations of life onr brother filled the measure of every duty. As a husband, no one sur passed him in loving devotion to the happiness of his companion. Aa a father hie ohlldren’e claims upon his afffotions and hla efforts were met as few fathers meet them. Ae a citizen, whether In public or In private life, his esoutobson was without a blemish and his eflloieney was only equaled by the demands of the position he acoepted. Aa a friend and brother he waa always kindly, genial, generous and liberal. His smile was the de light of every company; bis voice the lnspirstton of every enterprise, and his prudent counsel was the ballast whloh steadied all undne enthusiasm. Resolved, That we bow with sub mission, while we grieve, to the decree of Him who doetli all things well. Resolved 2.
