ATLANTA, August 1.—A cool mil
lion dollars for schools from a direct
Hevy upon the tax payers of the state!
That Is what tho house voted this
morning, and added to the* amounts al
ready set aside for school purposes it
puts the Georgia school fund up to
1 $1,900,000,
The increase Is $200,000, and with the
{tax rate reduced 22 points or about
1 $100,000 a year, some of the legislators
jare wondering where the money will
pome from.
The increase In tax receipts tills year
Kvould be about $100,00 at last year’s
rate but the reduction In the rate is
equal to the sinking fund of 100,000
po It Is an even break. The net In
crease from the hire of convicts will bo
over $100,000 so the schools will get
$300,000 more than heretofore.

IMMENSE WATER FALL
When the house took up the appro
priation bill Mr. Womble of Upson
spoke in support of the amendment of
Mr. Moses Increasing the appropria
tion to the Converse schools from
1800,000 to $1,000,000.
Mr. Womble in answering the speech
of Mr. Evans of Washington, oppsing
the bill, said Mr. Evans was the last
man In the house who should oppose
the increase as Washington county for
BChools und pensions receives more
than $5,000 above the total urnount
paid into the state treasury.
Mr. Hall of Bibb spoke in favor of
local taxation for supplimenting tho
appropriation from the state. lie said
the looking of the people to the state
treasury for education had been a curse
to the state. If the legislature went
on adding $200,000 at a clip the people
.would rise up and wipe the system off
the books. The next thing the people
would be calling for free books and
hides to carry the children to § school.
He said the state was pouring' money
Into a hole to be wasted for ,the schools
were run only flve months and tho
children were out of schools seven
months in the year, so they forgot as
fast as they learned. He said few
any states appropriated as much from
their treasuries for education as Geor
gia appropriated. The other states
have local taxation. He said the in
crease in tho appropriations would
make up the amounts lost, to the coun
ties that use convicts and they woulc
be getting their convicts for nothing,
so far as an amount equal to that pre
viously received is concerned.
Mr. Hall said the thing ought to bo
evened up—that tho money from the
treasury ought to go to tho poorer
counties that needed It and that tho
rich counties ought to get less.
"Would you supoprt such a measure
ns that? asked Mr. Bush.
"I would."
"Would you vote for it?"
"Yes."
'T don’t' believe It," said Mr. Bush.
Mr. Hall seemed suddenly to double
In size. Ills coat flew out and h's
arms waved wildly and he shook h»m-
Bclf like an enfurlated lion.
"Did you ever know me to speak
one way and vote another?" he thun
dered.
"Yes.” answered Mr. Bush.
"When?" shouted Mr. Hall.
The two men. probably the largest
pair In the House, were facing each
other and scarcely six Inches apart.
"When?" again shouted Mr. Hull.
"Now!" came like a clap of thunder
from Mr. Buih.
The uproar was like that of a cy
clone.
"When? when? when?" shouted
Mr. Hall.
"Now! now! now! You're doing It
now!” ahouted Mr. Bush.
"No. sir! no! no! no!” thundered
XTr. Hall.
Mr. Bush was in thd best of humor
and his fat sides were shaking wltn
laugHter.
Mr. Hall'* fury was like stage thun
der.
What might have been another row In
the House wan averted by the lug
member from Bibb and the big mem
ber from Miller not taking too seri
ously the good natured twitting that
legislators sometimes encounter.
There were several amendment* to
the bill which carried an appropria
tion of $800,000 for schools.
Mr. Mosey and Mr. Bush had million
dollar amendments.
Mr. Leigh had one for $300,000 and
Mr. Reid had one for the same amount.
There were several others that were
never voted on.
Mr. Reld’a $900,000 amendment was
lost by ayes 24, nays 79.
Mr. Bush’s Amendment carrying an
appropriation of a million dollars was
ca;»ted by ayes ?4. nay* 32.
Mr. Rainey of Terrell offered an
amendment providing that if the tnx
receipts for 1905 were not sufficient to
meet the appropriations, the governor
should not borrow any money to cover
the deficiency.
This was ln«t by a vote of 71 to Zl.
Agricultural Department Appropriation
When the section was reached

a resolution, which was adopted, lim
iting debate on the school paragraph

Tho Telegraph’s Article Was Read.
Mr. Fields of Dooly introduced a res
olution to take up MUftta Milt tomor- •
row, and had read an article from The
Macon Telegraph arraigning tho house
for Its failure to act on bills and for
taking up its time with useless ora
tory.
Mr. Hall objected to the reading of
tho article when the house had heard
half of It, saying ho did not wish to
hear read an article arraigning tho
house for doing its duty. The house
took a different view and voted to have
tho rest of tho article read.

taken up aa the special order of the
day. The measure come from tho

Mr. Allen of the 41st offered an
amendment changing the manner of
appointing the election commissioners
of a county, so that Instead of their be
ing appointed by the judge of the cir

some of the Judges of the circuits
were too much In politics to appoint

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.—Considerable
damage was done In the southern part
of the city during an exciting electri
cal storm this afternoon. Both flog
staffs on .the postoffice in lower New
York were struck, and a man on tho
top of the building was badly shocked
and burned about the arms. The bolt
struck a Third avenue elevated struc
ture near Fifth street, run along and
sot fire to the sleeper, causing a lively
pyrotechnic display. The electricity
then ran down one of the pillars to the
ground. Traffic was blocked for somo
time while tho firemen worked on the
blaze. The big flag pole on the top of
the famous llut Iron bulldng at Broach*
way and Twenty-third street was
struck, a .plevc over 15 fet long being
spllntored, fragments falling • on both
sides of tho building to tho streets far
below.
One splinter grnzed tho nrm of a
policeman who was helping an old Indy
from a Broadway car, but fortunately
no one else was hit, although the
streets were well filled with people.
Several other llug poles In various
parts of the city were shattered by
lightning and many dwelling houses
ere struck, but no fatalities resulted.
During the 45 minutes the storm
continued nearly two Inches of water
fell, flooding cellars and streets
Manhattan Island, so that traffic
seriously impeded. West street
flooded and passengers from the North
river ferries found difficulty in getting
away from the ferry houses. Tho
Brooklyn bridge entrance was filled
trlth water, and in the financial section
the water poured Into several base
ments, flooding both telegraph office
in the stock exchange building, and
seriously hampered communication
by wire during the laBt hour of busl
ness.
Lightning struck the varnish works
of Smith & Company, In Long Islnrd
City, and for some time much property
was In danger. The blaze was con
fined to the Smith works, however.
The loss is $60,000. During the storm
the flag pole surmounting Tnmmnny
hall was struck by lightning and tho
big ball nt tho top crashed to tho street
but no one was Injured.
At Mllltown, N. Y. lightning killed

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2. 2:36 p.
.—The greatest anxiety prevails
here for news of the general advance
Inst tho southern and eustern por
tions of General Kuropatkln’s army.
The public believes that the decisive
battle of the campaign Is being fought,
but tills hns not yet been established.
Indeed the Associated Preen hears
from the keenest military attaches In
St. Petersburg that for several days
the main body of tho Russian army
has been moving north towards Muk
den, nnd thnt when tin* present line
to tho southeast is forced the Japanese*
will find thnt they have crushed only
the shell. Should tills prove to be so,
General Kuropatkln will doubtless be
obliged to destroy tho Immense quanti
ty of stores accumulated at Liao Yang.
Shrewd military critics, however, do
not believe that General Kuropatkln
can escape a general engagement. Ills
army forms a wedge, with G*-nernl
Oku hammering away at the point nnd
Generals Nodzu nnd Kurokl operating
with driving movements of great force
against tho Bides. If one of tho latter
should break through the southern
force would be doomed.
The general staff seems amazed nt
tho ImmonHo strength of tho cooperat
ing Japanese arnilen. Tho Japanese
evidently hrtve succeeded In concealing
the renl number of their men nnd guns,
which the general staff now believes
must bo In excess of throe hundred
thousand men, with between th
nnd four hundred guns. While Gen
1 Oku Is holding the Russian oriny
at Hhlcheng In check. General Nodzi
Ih evidently trying to work around th
vital poiltion at Slmoucheng. At th
Hiitne time General Kurokl Ih trying t
flank the flint Siberian army corpi
which wnti commanded by the bit
Lieut, Oenerul Count Keller, at Yun-
Healln on th« main Feng Wang Cheng
road, and In also pushing n strong col
umn through direct toward Mao Yang
on the Balhwtiz road. There is a road
lending north from Slmoucheng, which
■trikes the Feng Wang Cheng road
west of YansMltn. If Hlmoucheng
should ho forced a rapid advance along
this road would pocket the First Fl-
flre than any other and he was mor

Gen. Kuropatkln also reported the
retirement of the Himebin vanguard on
the south front a short distance In the
direction of Halcheng. After deter
mined lighting near the village of Han-
chengtBo the Jnpuncae apparently con
cent™ ted considerable forces on the

employers took a firm grasp on the
machinery of their affairs and a* n
result tho stock yards took on the old
hum of activity to a great extent.
More than 78,000 head of live stock
as received today. This Is an In
crease of 68,000 head over the receipts

Such an enormous amount of live
stock would under normal conditions
have had a depressing effect on the
market and today when 80 train loads
of animals began to pour Into the
yards, stock men and trader* feared
panic, but It did not occur. Prices
were lowered sharply but the fact thnt
the market held so well a* It did,
seemed to prove that tho pnekera are
prepared to Increase thelf output.
