Bounemain has been known as the mis

sician went expressly in ordi-r to treat
Madame De Bounemain by a new sys

of the effects made to save her Madame
De Bouneuittin died during the evening.
Madame DeBouneman, at the height

road cum mission laid over asked for any
such legislation as was incorporated id
the Berner bill.
He said that such legislation was an
tagonistlc to capital and capitalists, and
wanted to know how n railroad could
run without cither.
He believed that by consolidation,
transportation possibilities would be
opened up that world eventually con
ncct us with tbo great west and upen
our ports to the commercial world.
He then took up the different bills
and substitutes and dismissed them in
detail.
He spoke for an hour and a half, and
at the conclusion of his speech with
drew the minority report of the commit
tee in favor of the alliance substitute.
Dr. Ilnnd of Baker spoke next.
He was in favor of the allianco sub
stitute. Ho did not believe that there
was such a great difference between the
’railroads and the people ns was claimed
by some, and he believed the alliance
substitute incorporated all the railroad
legislation necessary.
Mr. Wheeler of Walker offered a reso
lution limiting speeches to fifteen min
utes, and to take a vote on the measure
at U:20p. m.
The spoaker ruled that the motion
was out of order.
Mr. Ilartrldge of Chatham opened up
his argument against the bill by draw
ing his similes from theology and mytho
logy, and believed that Mr. Oould’s
coming was to open up the golden
treasures of tbo state. He believed that
the allianco substitute covered the
ground necessary, and he hoped this
legislature would take Anal action In
this measure.
It bad been brought before the legisla
ture of this state for several years past,
and ho believed that It was now time to
enact legislation that will settle the mat
ter forever.
Mr Huff of Bibb was opposed to the
Berner bill.
He believed that tho constitution did
not require any legislation on tills point.
He had tho opinion of some of the
ablest lawyers of tho state, men who
were in tho.constitutional convention of
1S77, and they did not believo it wi
necessary.
It was,” he said, “tho inclination of
tho majority of people to jump on any
tiling that was branded ‘corporation.’'
“Wliy, if you were to print corpora
tion on your hack and start down tho
street some ‘Froncli gentleman* would
jump on you beforo you got three blocks
away.”
On a motion hv Mr. Calvin of Rich
mond tlieliou.se adjourned until:Jo'clock
when the argument will be continued.

Spies kept track of their movements
and soon discovered that the two per
sons referred to were very intimate.
MinefYloulanger was informed of these
facts, but refused to apply fora divorce.
It was greatly through Mine. DeBoune-
limin’s favor that General Ballanger
was nble to carry on his political in
trigues. for the lundame had inherited
n fortune of ♦1.500,000, all of which sum
she devoted to the cause of the then
popular leader. To such an extent did
General Boulanger carry his infatua
tion for Madame DeBonnemaia that
when tlie French government deter
mined to arrest him he could not be
persniufijd to pose as a martyr before
the French people by going to jail, pre
ferring to fly with bis mistress from
France to England, and eventually to
Brussels, where they have both met
tlieir death.
General Bonlanger committed saicide
about noon. He stood alone by by the
gravy nl his inistrdss tor some time, ap
pearing to be deeply affected by the sor
rowful re oilections.
An ulieiwlant of the general who had
re*p citnlly remained at some distance
from Mine DeBonnemain's tomb, sud
denly lienrd a sharp report in that di
rection. Running to the spot the at

clenched ill liis right hand. A hasty
examination of the body sboweil that
the dead man placed the wcu{Kin to his
right ear and fired the fatal shot.
t’lie affair has caused great excite
ment in this city, and some commotion
among the general's followers in Paris.
The general's position, fiiiimc-iil and
p.l.tica:, bus. it is generally admitted,
b eii getting i lacker and black, r of
recent uiontu* He had no tio|ie for the
future, and his remaining friends were
few and becoming colder as the once
famous general dropped more and more
out of the public notice.
There is no doubt that the general
was conscious of the facts, and that
they prayed upon his mind, Conpled
to this was morbid love or infatuation
which he had for his dead uiiuress, ev
idenced by his renouncing what might
have b'*-n an important political career
in order to fly with her from France.
