Judge Fort rendered his decision
yesterday,
In the Howards—Blckeretaff
case.
Where the attorneys of these
men had applied for bail.
The habeas corpus proceedings
occupied the court the first days of
this week, full proceedings being
published in Tub Recorder.
The testimony In the case was
voluminous, and three excellent
speeches were mode on eacji side
The case was concluded Wednes
day, but Judge Fort reserved bis
decision. . He has had a difficult
job, studying the case, taking every
point in the testimony and weigh
ing it carefully. Besides having
the testimony read aloud in the
courtroom, ho has read it entirely
through again twice, and as there
are several hundred pages, It may
be seen how tedious this was.
Yesterday, he wroto out his de
cision and sent It to Columbus. A
bond of $15,000 each will be allowed
Richard Howard and James Bick-
erstaff. Robert Howard is not al
lowed bail.
Here Is Judge Fort’s
OFFICIAL OPINION.
' Petition for
Habeas Cor
pus to be al
lowed ball un
der commit
ment for mur
der from Mus
cogee county.
After considering the evidence
submitted and the able arguments
of learned counsel for the petit!-'
tloners and State, I am of the opin
ion that in the case of Robert How
ard, bail should not be allowed. In
the case of James Blckerstaft ball
should bo allowed in the sum of
($15,000) fifteen thousand dollars.
In the case of Bichard Howard ball
should bo allowed In the sum of
($16,000) fifteen thousand dollars.
It Is thereupon ordered that Robt
Howard be remanded to Muscogee
jail, there to be safely kept without
bail or malnprize until his first
trial under the charge as set forth
lo the petition: That James Blok
erstaff and Richard Howard bo re
manded to Muscogee jail, there to
be safely kept until final trial uuder
said charge of murder in default of
good and sufficient bonds for each
in the sum of ($16,000) fifteen
thousand dollars each. Bald bonds
are to be in the usual form of ap
pearance bonds, and are to be ap
proved by the Sheriff of Muscogee
county.
The manifest impropriety of en
tering into a full discussion of the
facts and reasons for this decision
In advance of a trial before the
jury prevents a more extended
opinion. This eonoluslon Is
reached from the evidence submit
ted on this hearing. What other
evidence may be adduced on the
final trial is not anticipated and
cannot be here considered. Let
this order be duly entered on the
mlnntes of Muscogee Superior
court.

Andjhere is an example.
Mr. W. L. Douglass, of shoe fame,
Is, as all know, a great believer in
printera Ink. And so Is Mr. T.
Wheatley, our enterprising doth,
ing dealer. Both carry ada In Thx
Recorder, and yesterday morning
a gentleman stopping at the Allen
House was looking over a copy of
onr paper and found the notice of
Douglass stating that Mr. Wheatley
waa their representative here. He
came right up to the store, and or
dered a pair of the famous Doug
lass $4 shoes. While buying them,
ho exhibited a pair be had on, and
said:
“See there? Well I’ve had them
14 months and have worn them
every day. I have trod the earth in
20dlfflerent Statesdnrlnf that time,
and now these shoes are good for
more .wear.”
“They are; Douglass $4 shoes.”
An Exposition.
To be held in Amerlous next fall.
TbJt’s what has been suggested.
And what 1s desired to be put be
fore the people.
It may be a little early to men
tion it, but it came up in connec
tion with the driving, club idea,
which should be ready by spring.
And If the people want an expo
sition, it isn’t a bad idea to get a
good start, and give one of extra
ordinary size and merit.
For that’a just what Amerlcus Is
capable of doing.
Yesterday a group were standing
discussing the organization of the
driving olub, or the taking of some
means to fix the handsome race
track they want to construct out at
Leeton. Suggestions were being
made as to the other amusements
which could take place in the en
closure, and one of the party spoke
thusly:
“Yes, I don’t seo any reason in
the world why we oan’t fix up
regular amusement park. I know
everybody will help us, and be de
lighted at the idea. When spring
arrives and trade is less, we want
some place for recreation, and
some place where the afternoon
can be spent with enjoyment.
Then this amusement park Is just
wliat we want. Horse racing just
any afternoon. A base ball game
whenever wanted. A gun club
can be easily organized, and shoot
ing matches arranged. I tell you,
I am enthused with the idea, and
we can’t afford to let It drop. We
can start now and have everything
running by Bpring, and all spring
and summer have these pleasures.”
“Yas,” put In another, “and why
npt make a big enclosure while
we're at it, aud erect a building to
have a fair or something of the sort
Innextfall. Or put up a big build
ing, aud let’s have an exposition.
“Sumter county has been sending
off exhibits and taking prizes at all
the expositions, and I don’t see
why we can’t have one here. We’ve
got the finest and most progressive
oity in the South to start on as an
exhibit. We’ve got more Indus
tries of all kinds, and the finest
country on the earth to let folka
look at. Everybody has heard of
Amerlous, and those who haven’t
seen it would like to. So let’s give
them a chance to see It aud In holi
day clothes.”
This idea was seconded by all of
the group, aud why shouldn’t we
have an exposition?
That we have the necessary qua!
locations for a bowling success in
this 11ns, Is certain.
And that we have the enterpris
ing men to start the movement and
keep it going Is just as certain.
The Idea la one that onr people
should take hold of, and take hold
of In time to make a big success,
It may be a little premature to
mention It just now, bnt the young
meu are going to fix up their race
track by spring, and If the people
want the expo some combination
should be made with those inter
ested In the driving elub and save
needless expense.
A HOUSE AND SENA1E FIGHT ON
THE BRANCH COLLEGE BILL
Nary a College, Sirs the House—An
Important Taxation BUI Failed—The
Twitty BUI Laid Over for Oood.
Thousands of mothers bless the
name of Dr. John Bull for invent-
inc his celebrated Dr. Ball’s Worm
Destroyers. Children lease for
them and -they never fall to do
good.
Always Lived se One.
Under this head the Schley Coun
ty News hat the following about
two enterprising young men of
Bnmter:
“Striking up with two of onr old
school mates, Will and Sam Heys,
In Amerlous last Saturday, we ac-
cepted an Invitation and spent a
pleasant night with them in their
delightful country home four mllea
east of Amerlcus. Besides running
r large ^pd successful farming bus
iness the Heys Brothers arejex-
tenslvely engaged In the Steam
Mill bnsln'sM. They are twins and
most peculiar feature of their
business career Is that they are
partners In everything, from their
mill add farm business down to
tbolr wearlngapphrel and have bean
all their lives, 43 years. Will has a
wife and nine ohildren while Sam
has only a wife, yit they have kept
no acoonnts against each other and
gat along without the slightest jar.
If one has a dollar and the other
wants It, bo polls It put and hands
it over. The Siamese twins,though,
bound togsUor by a band of flesh,
were never half Oo devoted a* the
Heys Brothers.”

Special to Recorder.
Atlanta., Deo. 19.—The House
fairly “looked horns” with the Sen
ate this morning on the subject of
branch college appropriations.
The’other Senato amendments lo
the appropriation bill were con
curred In.
But “nary a branoh” college!
A conference committee will be
appointed, In the usual course of
events. The solution most likely
Is that one year’s support (for ’91)
will be given the existing branch
colleges. And then, if they contin
ue iu operstloD, It must be as pri
vate Institutions and without State
aid.
MORE TAXES FOB RAILROADS.
The Senato this morning passed
the bill (by Byela of Chatham) for
the municipal taxation of rail
roads.
The orlglual bill wss amended
somewhat to make the act self-op
erative, supplying a method tor the
assessment and collection of the
tax.
This Is the bill as It passed the
Senate, and goes book to the House
for coucurrenoe ln|the amendment:
Sec. 1. Be It enacted by the Gen*
erst Assembly of the State of Geor
gia, That all the property, both real
and personal, belonging to railroad
companies In this'State, whtoh Is
within the taxable limits of any
municipal corporation, shall be, and
the same Is hereby made subject to
taxatlou by the said municipality,
as fully and as completely as U the
property of other corporations with
in the said taxable limits. And it
Is hereby made the duty of the mu
nicipal authorities to cause the said
property within tlio said taxable
limits belonging to a. railroad com
pany to pay its proper aud just pro
rata of the said munlolpal taxes.
Sec. 2. Balt further enacted by
authority aforesaid that, in addi
tion to the facts required to be
shown by the act of the General
Assembly approved Oot. 16, ’89, en
titled “an aot to provide a system
of taxation of railroad property In
each of the oountles in this State
through which said railroads- run
and to provide a mode of assessing
and collecting the same and for
other purposes,” every railroad
ooupaoy In this State ahall, at the
time of making the return provided
for In said act, also show the value
of the company's property lo eaoh
Incorporated olty or town through
which it runs.
Seo. 8. Be It farther ensated by
the authority aforesaid that the
rolling stock and other personal
property are distributed to the
counties under the provisions of
said act of Oot. 16, ’89. That is,
as the value of the whole property,
real aud personal, of the said com
pany Is to the value of the proper
ty Iooated in the psrtioulr munici
pality, auoh shall be the amount of
rolling atook and other personal
property to be distributed for tax
ing purposes to eaoh municipality.
Sxc. 4. Be it further enacted by
the authority aforesaid, that all
other provisions of said set, ap
proved Oot. 16, 1889, bs and tbs
same are hereby made applicable
o the assessment and collection of
taxes of railroads by municipali
ties upon the property of suoh rail
roads Iooated in such municipali
ties aud upon the rolling atook and
other personal property distributed
under Seo. 8 of this aot.
Sxc. 6 Repeals conflicting laws.
The vote was 28 to 12. '
This Is generally regarded as one
of the most Important bills passed
at this session.
THR TWITTY BILL.
The resurrected and reconsidered
and rAsurreotod Twitty bill was
“tabled” this morning.
That carries it over—snob was
the statement of Its friends—to the
next session, lu order for repre
sentatives to ascertain the real
pnblto sentiment upon the matter.
THE TAX ACT.
The tax aot waa . passed by the
senate this morning, the only im
portant amendment being a tax of
$109 put upon all mercantile and
commercial agencies, tor oach es
tablished office In the state.
THE COMMISSION QUESTION.
All afternoon and to-night the
House worked along, everybody
expeetlng to hear from the W. A
A. committee. They waited and
waited, bnt In vain. ‘
Quite a breeze waa roueed by the
announcement that Maj. Stahl-
man had been sent for and
being queetloned by
the committee. Stahlman went
over the whole ground and
■aid m substance, that the lessees
stood read y to accept^pny commis
sion. They want a settlement of
disputed questions. The committee
has not yet finished its labors. To
morrow morning a meeting will be
held and Anal action will be taken.
Berner will submit a minority re
port. This Is certain.
The majority have made so mo
ehanges in their report outlined
last night. They now favor flv#
instead of six, being necessary to
agree to any finding. They have
also a provision wbloh makes the
Supreme court a court of appeal
lu oases where agreements oan’t bo
reached. Committee refuses to
give out full text of Ita resolution as
It may be changed to-morrow.
Berner’s substitute made the
commission consist of Chief Jus
tice Bteokley and four Superior
Court Judges, to be named by the
Governor.
THE ADJOURNMENT.
The boose to-day passed a reso
lution adjourning on Saturday
over until July, but the senate
tabled the resolution.
It is hardly possible for the busi
ness to be finished up to-morrow*,
even with an all day and all nlgbt
session.
THB28TH 18 SUNDAY.
Governor Northen bss discovered
that the 28tb, when the State road
Is to be banded over to new lessees, -
Is Sunday. President Thomas hsa
written nlm that formal transfer
oan be postponed until Monday.
