Wholesale and Retail Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing, Furnishing Gooods, Carpets, Shoos, Hats, etc. Cor. .Lamar St. and Cotton Ave., AMERICUSf GJ 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.

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.
