DULL DAY IN LEGISLATURE.
House and Senate Transact Some Un
important ltusslne.s and Adjourn.
Atlanta, Nov. 2.—The houso almost
foiled to be able to do business at all to
day. Tliero were ouly rti members pres
ent. Four less, and there would huve
been no quorum. And there cumo very
■ear being four lees—that tdeutical
number arriviug barely iu time to be
*®cordeil, which saving act was not of
r mount importance, as thiugs fell out.
few unimportant bills were intro
duced, a couple of iuvitatious, one to a
barbecue and one to the oratorical con-
test, accepted, tho committee on rules
announced, Valdosta thanked for its
hospitality, and badges for the Colum
bus trip distributed.
Tbe most striking feature of the ses
sion was one that did not transpire—
Senator Bacon did not address tho gen
eral assembly as the general assembly
intended him to do. It adjourned be
fore tho senator could reach the city.
The senate's record was equal to that
of tho house. The senate accepted a
barbecue iuvitntion, received a bill pro
viding for a change iu the charter of
the city of Macon, got their Columbus
badges from the secretary and ad
journed.
Women Must itemovp Tltelr lints.
Fort Worth, Tex , Nov. 3.—Tho city
council has ‘passed an ordinance com
pelling women to remove their hats nt
all public entertainments where a fee is
charged. The ordinance provides a fine
of $5 or expulsion from the entertain
ment for a violation.
Jones Still Improving.
New York, Nov. 3.—Charles V. Jones,
■ecretary-valet of the Into William M.
Bice, and who was arrested on a charge
at forgery, and attempted to commit
filicide in the Tombs by cutting bis
throat, passed a very comfortable night
