THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1(>, 1891,
DEFEATED.
THE BERNER BILL TOWNED BY THE
STATE SENATE.
An Indefinite Postponement Did the Work
«nd the Hill Which Called for Railroad
Legislation In Behalf of the People
Failed to Become a Law.
Atlanta, October 9.—This morning
long before the senate was called to
order, the young army of railroad lobby
ists were actively engaged button-1 BU p er j or cour t, convicted and sentenced
holoingsenators and flitting from ono, the pon |t e ntiary for life.
The Hum .t Hen.
I Atlanta, October 10.—In the trial of
'James Wigginglun and others now
pending in llic United Sl-ites court for
conspiracy, known as the "Honest man's
protector trial," it i&likely that all will
be convicted except one.
Of the nlno on trial two plead guilty,
and it is almost certain that six will be
convicted, and Mr Fields go free, 1,0-
cause the evidence is not strong enough
to involve him in the conspiracy.
Besides the nine now on trial, seven
were tried for arson in Pickens county
part of the capital to the other.
The occasion of all this buzzing and
whispering was that at 10 o’clock the
senate was to decide the fate of the Ber
ner bill, or rather the substitute for
that bill, reported by the committee on
railroads.
The substitute is a somewhat milder
bill than the Berner bill, but not such
a measure as the railroads desire.
When the senate was called to order
that body went right to business, and
after a little skirmishing for position the
substitute was read, as well aB the mi
nority report.
Mr. Callaway from the 17th district
led off in argument in favor of the pass
age of the Smith substitute, followed by
Senators Terrell and Ellington.
The yeas and nays were called, result
ing in a vote of 20 yeas and 15 nays to
indclinitcly postpone, which, of course,
defeats the hill.
Thoso who voted against the bill are
Mossrs. Beard, Cabaniss, Candler, Flint,
Gill, Glenn, Golden, Harlan, Harp,
Hodges, Culpepper, Johnston, Lamb,
Mullis, Patton, Smith, E. It., Vincent,
Walker, Williams, Zackoy—Total 20.
Thoso who voted for tho bill arc
Messrs. Beck, ltoyd, Calloway, Culver,
Eason, Ellington, Hill, Irvino, Johnson,
McKae, Nunnally, Terrell, Todd, Warren
and Witcher—Total 15.
Thoso not voting aro Messrs. Bennett,
Brown, Tatum, Strickland, Smith, J. D.,
and Lamar—Total 7,
The house was, on motion, notified of
the action of the senato at once.
AN ATTACK
Is Made on tho Now Constitution of
Kentucky.
Locisviixb, Oct. 10.—A special from
Frankfort states that a suit was filed
there which is aimed at the existence
of tlie new constitution whicli lias just
been completed. The suit is brought
by Walter Evans, ex-commissioner of
internal revenue, and who is supposed
to represent the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad, which was bitterly op
posed to the new constitution. The
point attempted to be made is tlmt af
ter tlie conelitntion was ratified by the
people last August, tlie convention
made more than 100 changes in the in
strument, and tlmt therelore the pres
ent constitution lias never lieen ratified,
and is mill and void. An injunction is
asked restraining the public pri iter
from printing this constitution and the
secretary of state from promulgating it.
as the organic law of the state; and it
is prayed that the document which pur
ports to be the new constitution, be
brought into court and destroyed. Le
gal opinion is very much divided, but a
majority believe that the new constitu
tion will stand.
Narrow Escape From Heath
Guekncabtlk, Ind., Oct. 10.—Three
ladiee crossing the Big Four railway,
west of the city, had a narrow escape
from instant death. The crossing is a
dangerous one, the view being obstruct
ed by a deep cut, and the ladies on
reaching it encountered a freight train
bound west, with four cool cars in front
of the engine. Their buggy was struck
by the coal cars and all three of the in
mates more or less injared. Miss Wil
lie Wood sustained Bevere injuries, but
no hones were broken; Miss Jennie Van
Buskirk was cut in the side of her head
and badly bruised otherwise; Mrs. Eliz
abeth Welch, of York, Neb., sustained
a broken ankle and other severe bruises,
her Injuries being the most serious.
The horse was killed after being carried
by tho train a distance of over 500 feet.
Hnrdalcy Makes Good Doses.
Philadelphia, Oct. 10.—John Bards-
lcy has fouud an occupation iu prison
seems to agree with him and of which
be has made a success. It is that of
box making, and the ex-city treasurer
bos shown a degree of skill in the work
thnt has surprised those who fail to re
member thut in his younger days he
was a blacksmith and supported him
self for many years by hard manual la
bor. The long strain upon Bardsley.
bis disgroce. and the puison confine
ment are beginning to tell on his health,
and deafness is coming upon him. He
lives in tho hoiie of a pardon through
political influence after a few years'
Confinement.
III. 100th Birthday.
Fitzwilliam, N. IL, Oct. 10.—The
Hon. A. A. Purker has celebrated bis
}00th birthday. He graduated from
the University of Vermont in 1815, and
is said to be the oldest living college
graduate in America. He practiced
law for years, was intimate with Dan
iel Webster, and has served iu the leg
islature more terms than any other
member. As a colonel in the governor's
staff iu 1820 he ucted as escort to Gen
eral LaFayetto. Mr. Parker still retains
possession of his faculties.
She Won •22,000.

ilton against George Hamilton, in

dna her from ths old Hamilton estate,
was decided in common pleas court
bare, Judgment being rendered her for
toe amount.
Hon. Carter Tate, an ex-member of
the house of representatives and one of
the most popular men in Georgia, prose
cuted these men in the Pickens county
superior court, being the leading coun
sel, and is also the leading counsel in tho
case now pending before the United
United states.
H:s success in convicting such a large
body of law-breakers after a great deal
of opposition by able lawers, is verv
gratifying to his frienns and proves
Colonel Tate Just what tlioy have always
known him to he, an able lawyer as well
as a popular and accomplished gentle
man.
The case of tlie honest man's friends
was given to the jury this afternoon, —id

GHOST STORIES
When you hear a man say
“ We’ve got a PIANO here
just as good as the IVERS
& POND for a great deal
less money,” remember that
all the ghost stories have
not been told yet.
When you hear a man say
that “So-and-so” keeps a
better line of musical goods
than we do, just add one
more to your list of ghost
stories.
When you want an IVERS
& POND PIANO with all
its patented improvements,
see that you get it. Allow no
solicitation or specious mis
representation to switch you
off onto something inferior.
Ghost stories frighten chil
dren, but not mature and
sensible people.
