And Demands the Unconditional Surrender of the Sliver Sonet ore-He Gives no »’« Uo ns to the 1 tne of Procedure In Kvrn of Such Action jte Demanded. Washington, Sept 12.—It la now ■peclfically stated, on pretty good nuthority, that the preaident has given his ultimatum to the silver men in the senate, (t is their unconditional sur render. One of the senators who has hern standing up to the administration ail the way through called on the president and said that If the president had any idea of compromise his followers in the senate ought to know ft, as a matter of justice to themselves. The president assured him more emphatically than ever that he wav for unconditional re peal; that he favored no compromise; that he would not considor any, and that he would not even promise to con sider new silver legislation after repeal •hall have been accomplished, thought that the repeal bill would pass, sad that it would pass fa two or three weeks. The convention of representatlvec of the boards of trade of the United States began their session at Wilburn's hall at noon for the purpose of letting congress and particularly the senate know what the financiers and merchants want In the way of legislation upon the financial question. Over a thousand delegates are already present. Before night a large additional number is expected to swell it to 1,600. The south is well rep resented. The vice president laid a letter before the senate today in reply to the resolu tion calling for information about the purchase of silver and the class of money paid out for it. He stated that no silver had been bought with certificates re deemable (a go id since March 4, 1893. Stewart's resolution, which was intro duced yesterday, was called up, and he aiked that it go over till tomorrow, which took away the expected chance 0/ an exciting time. The repeal bill was taken up, and Mitchell, of Oregon, ad dressed the senate in opposition to the repeal. MADK A NA1IBOW UCAPJC BED. D. WHEATLEY, COR. LAMAR ST., AND COTTON AVENUE, AMERICUS, GrA.

Wheatley, (Corner Lamar ISk and Cotton Ato.,) A nrskrman Knocked rtenarleM by an Overhead Brtdga Yesterday. Ur. H. H. Gordon, a train hand In the employ of the S. A. A H. railroad, had narrow escape from a horrible death yesterday morning. He was going east on the freight train leaving the city at 6slO o'clock, and waa attending to his duties on top of the train as it entered the cut under the Barlow street bridge. Evidently he had forgotten about the overhead bridge, as ho raised himself just In time to bring his head in contact with xomoof the timbers. The blow was a terrible one, tearing the scalp from the young man's head and knocking him fist upon the roof of the car. The train was stopped and the injured man carried back to the depot, where medical attention was given him, Ills Injuries are very painful, but are not considered dangerous. Had he fallen from the car his body, in all probability, would have been ground beneath the wheels before the train could have been brought to a standstill. Vacetlos Um Ceded. Aliases Nannie, Lizzie sod IUttie Har vey and Nettie Powell, of Buena Vtata, and Liszie Rainey, of Xllavllle, passed through the city yesterday en route to Mllledgeville, where they will resume their etudiee In the Girls' Normal and Industrial Institute In that eity.

The engineer, however, ran baek to the coaches and gave the tJarm. The momeot he started a dozen rlflee biased forth, bat the plucky fellow, though badly wounded, managed to give the alarm. Dynamite was then placed un der the express car and It was broken open. Just how much the robber* se cured la not known. None of the passeng >ra were robbed. So soon as the robbers, which various reports number from 15 to 25, made off, word was immediately telegraphed to Chicago and the police put on their guard.
