this session.
TWITTY BILL RECON8I DEBED.
In the Senate the muoh-tslked-of
Twltty bill was reconsidered.
The vote on the motion to recon
sider was 20 and 20.
President Mitchell broke the tie
by voting for reconsideration.
That probably carries the meas
ure over to the next session, and is
generally regarded as a triumph
for the opponents of thebtll.
JUDGE FOKT’S APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of Judge Allen
Fort was confirmed to-day, unani
mously.
The appointment la one of the
most popular made by the governor,
and gives universal satisfaction.
THE BRANCH COLLEGES.
Then the branch college fight
was taken up in the Senate. The
matter was referred last night, 1$
will be remembered, back to the
finance committee.
They reported this morning in
favor of the “old five” only, cutting
•off all the new proposed branch
colleges.
Dahlonega, $3,000; Milledgevllle,
$2,000; TbomasvlUe, $2,000; Cuth-
bert, $2,000; Hamilton, $2,000.
This amendment, by President
Mitohell, was adopted:
Provided, That none of aatd
branch oollege* under any pretext
whatever, whether as tuition, ma
triculation fee, Incidental expense*
or otherwise, shall obsrge exceed
ing the sum of ten dollsre ($10) per
year or five dollars per term for
eaoh pupil; provided further, that
any of said branch colleges charg
ing an amount In excess of amount
above provided for shall forfeit the
whole amount of tne appropriation
for the year In which said excess of
charges shall be mode, and the
Governor shall withhold his war
rant npon the treasury for the
same.
THE "TECH” SOLID.
Then came a fight on the Tech
nological school appropriation of
$22,600, led by Senator Irvine, of
the 42nd. He wanted U reduced to
$18,000, figuring it out npon the
coat per capita of patients at the In
sane asylum, and the academies
for the blind and for tbs deaf and
dumb.
Senator Terrell, Senator Beck
and others, spoke for the larger ap
propriation.
Irvine's amendment wsa lost,
and the section as it stands wasj
then adopted, appropriating $22,'
600.
FINISHED IT UP.
The appropriation bill was then
finished without amendment as It
came from the committee—practi
cally, Just a* it came from the
boose, except the braneh oollege
feature—and the bill was pasted,
$8 to 0. Itwae then Immediately
transmitted to the house,
THE STATE ROAD.
Western and Atlantic Com

Washington, Deo. 18.—The re
publican Senators, Hoar, Spooner
and Co., who have been urging the
force bill, acknowledge to-day that
the determination of the canous
last night to lay the bill aside Is
fatal. The debate on tbe bill will
probably run through this week,
when tbe caucus financial meas
ure agreed upon will be called op
to displace It.
Republican managers are talking
abont what they are going to do
when they get through with a coin
age bill, but no one Is deceived by
It. They simply can’t pass the bill
now that they have dropped It.
Mr. Shuman, representing the
Senate finance oommlttee, pre
sented the caucus silver - bill to
day aud it was ordered printed and
recommitted to tbe committee,
wbloh gave it life.
W. A. Pledger, the somewhat
celebrated colored politician, ar
rived In Washington to-day, look'

weather beaten. He baa ..been do

Houses to-day were tome, Senator
Coke occupied tbe time of the Sex
ate in aspeeeh against the force
bill, while the lower House busied
Itself with a subsidy measure.

that they know they will die. And
they look like they mean It.

A Hack a Co.
Killed for a nickle!
Shot throngb and through by a
big 44 pistol.
The wounded man dies In a tew
hours.
As brutal a murder as is on re
cord.
That’s what the eye witnesses
state, and this description of the
killing oertalnly makes It such
It seems that Sam Wagnen.the
negro who did the shooting, was
onoe a band on the road, and on
this afternoon was loafing around
the station at Pitt’s with a number
of other negroes. The material
train was standing here, and be
■idee the negroes on it many
country negroes wars standing
about.
Wagnen had a largo Colt’s pistol
44 oallbre, whlob ho was displaying
and after a while began shooting
with others at marks. This was
abont three. Ooe of the men at the
station told-Wagnen that the pistol
would get him In tbe chain-gang.
Wagnen answered that this was no
strange place for him.
About this time Wagnen put the
pistol book Into his pocket, and
walked off towards tbe caboose
where the negroes stayed. Our In'
formant saw nor thought nothing
more of him until about four when
he heard a pistol shot, and saw a
negro running from tbe caboose.
As he reached a high bank another
shot was fired, end be tamed, ran
under the oar to the other side, fall
ing abont forty feet ewey.
Only tbe negroes saw the shoot
ing and had nothing to say abont
It. The passenger train then rolled
in, and the negro Wagnen got
aboard.'
After he left, tbe injured negro
was taken in charge by the white
men end oared for. Tbo ballet bed
entered at the right nipple and
coursed downwards, coming ont at
the back, Just above the left hip.
He oould hardly talk, but gave hie
name as Ed Wilson. He said that
he had worked for Peaoook A Bon,
of Seville, end that Wagnen bed
shot him on eooonnt of a nickle.
This was about all ho oould say. A
doctor was sent for bnt non* oould
be found, and ths white men eared
for him aa best they oould. The
negroes would beva nothing to do
with him, end the white* had to do
all tbe work.
Finally, some of them told tbe
story of the shooting, wbloh was
merely that Wagnen opened fire on
Wilson with no warning bnt tbe
drawing of tbe weapon. They said
that Wagnen had a grudge against
Wilson, end this was the cans# of
the shooting. A few months back
Wagnen won all of Wilson’s money,
soma $9, and tbs latter took up a
Winchester end shot Wagnen on tbe
finger, making him drop tbe
money. Ever elnoethen Wegner
bed been trying to getaehenoe at
him, and often ssid hewonld get
even with him.
All the negroes sssmsd to fear
Wagnen, end their atorles were
greatly mixed! The whltee didn’t
even know who did the shooting
until the negro bad left on the
train.
The marshall of Cordate wee im
mediately telegraphed to, bnt tbe
negro wee sharp enough to get off
iiBcriiltf
Wilson died between 10 end 11
that night.
Wagnen le described a* a mulatto
of about 24 years, clean shaved, 8
feet 8 lnohss high, and the Index
finger of his right band broken.
