In the bonse on Friday an effort waa mado to reconsider the railroad bill. This waa defeated by a vote of 73 to The bill now goes to the sonate, where a bitter tight will be made on It, and where its opponents declare It will be defeated. Its advocates are, however, equally confident that it will pass. Mb. Kemp's bill to increase the power of the railroad commission has been made a special order for next Tuesday In the house. The bill provides that the railroad oommission In fixing freight and passenger rates, shall not allow any profit for watered stock. Also that all freight rates, either for long or short hauls, shall be the same per mile.

An Associated Press telegram from New York announces that "Jay Gould Is feeling first rate ” He Is no donbt chuckling over the imbecility of the -Georgia Legislature in passing the Ber nier bill, which will depress the securi ties of various Georgia railroads, and cnablo this vampire, who reaps golden harvests from the misfortunes of others, to take la a few more railroads at re ceivers' sales.

His speech was on the sub-treasury and Ocala platform. In the oourso of it some one In the audi ence asked Colonel Livingston wba't he ' thought of Norwood’s plan. He replied that be was opposed to the plan, and In a few brief words he criticised the plan, He said that thore were two salient ob jections to the plan, and some very good points. The old sub-treasury plan, be ■aid, was the best plan he had beard of yet Bnt the sub-treasury bill Intro duced In tbo last congress would not answer. Bet. J. H.

Harrison of Atlanta declining the Bishopric of Geoigis The Hon. Z. D. Harrison, secretary of the Standing Committee of the diocese of Georgia. My Dear Sib; I herewith beg to de cline the election to the Bishopric of Georgia with which yonr recent conven tion has honored mo. It la not necet. aary that I should here enter into the reasons which bare led to this decision, aa you are already familiar with the grave Issues involved. Your call found roc already committed to the missionary operations of the church in this new and growing west. To this work I was but recently summoned under the most solemn sanctions nnd by the highest authority known to mo. Sent here to accomplish certain results, I have bnt fairly embarked upon the undertaking. The divine blessing has seemed to rest signally upon the small beginnings made. But many en terprises, as yet In their Inclplency, look to me for help. The majority of my faithful clergy depend on my personal efforts not only for moral support, but for their very living. To abandon the work at this juncture must entail upon It serious calamity. Under these cir cumstances I cannot transfer to another the varied Interest* of this new field. To lay foundations for the church's future and.to securo for her the alle giance and co-operation of these young commonwealths Is the great work which confronts us hero. These and mnny other considerations impel me to abide wfth my scattered flock, who have so nobly upheld mo by their genorous sym pathy and devotion. You will bear me witness that before my election I inti mated that I could not leave. That I have delayed my decision so far is due to the personal solicitation ot your com mittee, and tbeir most kindly cherished hope that, after conference with certain revered and trusted brethren ot the House of Bishops, I might be able to ace my way clearly to come to you. But such baa not been the result. Almost with unanimity those with whom 1 have counselled have advised me to remain nt my present post of duty. I need not add now deeply I have been touched by so many assurances of loyalty and aup- >ort from the clergy and laity of your raportant diocese, and how gladly I should come to you did a sense of duty permit Personal considerations have appealed strongly to me to heed your call, and these have been fortified by the singular and almost apontaneoua unanimity attending my election. I can only hope that you will do me the kindness to believe that I have tried to be governed solely by a desire to do Goa’s will at I have been able to dis cern It, and that I have acted only after deliberate and prayerful thought I am comforted In thli painful hour by the assurance that whatever disappointment this decision may cause yon will be bnt temporary, and that the Holy Ghost will dlreot and gnide you to fill yc vacant see, with Its hallowed tradltfo: by the choice of a leader far more woi> thy of yonr confidence. Very faithfully yours, Etheldebt Talbot. Augusta's Methoc well represented. The announcement i^buthoritatlvely made In the Atlanta papers that Hon. Clark Howell, Speaker of the Hocae of Representatives, will, on the adjourn ment of the Legislature, retire perma nently from the political field, and will devote hlnuelf entirely to his datlea as managing editor of the Confutation. He has been a member of the house from Fulton county for adveral terms, and baa reflected credit upon bis con stituency and himself. Aa Speaker bo baa ably performed the responsible duties which have fallen upon him, and be could no doubt be re-elected as rep resentative from the county again were be to decide to run. The Athena Ledger saya: "Athens made a strenuous protest against the exorbitant freight rates charged by the R.SD. syndicate and the people sub mitted It to tha council. They took action, authorizing City Attorney Cobb to write the officials and have the freight rates rcctliled. This he did, and he re ceived the following letter: "Louisville, Ky., HspL SO, 18BL—Andrew J. Cobb Athens, Ga: Your letter of IS Inst,, reached me here to-day.

He carefully prepared five acre* of land and planted oats. Hla en tire oat crop consisted of twenty-five acies, but he devoted very little car* to any except the cboloe live. From the five acres be gathered more oats than from the other twenty. He la firmly convinced that then's profit la careful preparation, and that prize contests will engender the necessary care.— Hons ton Home-Journal. Smith Chappel, confined in cell No. 10 In the county jail, burned a bole through the floor of his cell and escaped jail night before last Smith Is the nagro who wad confined In jail under charge of committing a horrible crime. He was considered about half Idiotic, and no fears were entertained of hla trying to to maka hla escape, otherwise be would have been confined In one of the cells of the second story. Smith seems to bare managed the plan of bis escape with considerable cnnnlag. The hole was horned carefully and kept bidden until It waa sufficiently large for him to make his egress. He then passed out through the hole underneath the floor, with bis hand^sxcavated fa bole under the walls of thsjjall, climbed the high board fenoa and was gone. No tidings have been re- calved of him.—Brunswick Times.
