Atlanta, Deo. 18.—In the House and Senate this forenoon s vest, number of local bills were read. This to allow of their passage at 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 mittee has been bard at work all day, and have reached a conclusion which they think wlU meet the ap proval of the House. White there were many different views when the committee first discussed th* question they got together to-day and share le only one dissenting vote to the committee finding, that of Mr. Berner. The report of the committee to creases the numbers of the oom mission to eight; requires six to de cide any of tba discussed questions! and in their report are required to State the law upon wbloh they zee their decisions. The Governor hae to approve the findings of the commissioners be fore they beoome final.

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' lug considerably travel worn and weather beaten. He baa ..been do log political service down In Lon siaona as a timber Inapeotor. Tbe proceedings of the two 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.

M.-A Cold Blooded Murder, sad the Murdtrsr Bsoaps IS ITU GRIPPE? Or Merely An Xpldemlo of Common Colds. All Amerious is coughing. And nine out of ten people you meet toll you they are dying with cold, Aud you generally toll them the I suffered from nervous aches and pains, and was sleepless at night. My disease was undermining my oonstitation. Dr.'Bull’s Sarsapa rilla restored mo to health.andl now eojoy sound and dreamless The cold snap sstms to have eaught everybody, and to have given them a alight remembrance. That Is, ltis sneezed at a great deal, and may be called alight. Every body seems to be affected. Old and yonng, men and women, rich and poor, all toll yon in hoarse tones that they know they will die. And they look like they mean It. Never was there snoh a lot of eolds, and it looks as If la grippe is taking another tonr. Man/ of those afflletod say they have all the feellnga given as symptoms of that once fashionable; Indisposition. They say their bones ache, and they feel as if their lest honr had come. Whether It is the grip ar not, it certainly has a grip on the major ity of the people here, and bad colds are the order of the day. A Qeorsls Farmer** Wife.

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.
