THE GEORGIA PHE8S.
As Atlanta special, of the 24th, to the
Augusta News, says “It is reported on
good authority that Gen. Gordon has
been paid $700,000 cash for the charter of
Georgia Pacific railroad and’ all lands
belonging to him, his brothers and Got.
Colquitt along the line. Of this amount,
Gov. Colquitt, Eugene Gordon aud \Ya
ter Gordon got one hundred and five
thousand each, and Gen Gordon gets the
rest. The Richmond and Danville baa
purchased all the franchise of tho Georgia
Pacific and took fall charge this morn
ing. A surveying party of two hundred
hands for construction started out this
morning. Two other parties are now at
work. The Rtdimond and Danville do
not propore te stop the road at Aberdeen,
hut will push on to Texarcana, where it
will connect with the Texas Pacific aijd
Iron Mountain railroads. The success of
the read remains undisputed. Gen. Gor
don remains president at a handsome
.salary.”
We are glad to annonnee on the an-
thority of the Columbus Enquirer, that
Rev. J. A. O. Cooke has almost entirely
recovered from tho injuries received In
the accident on the Southwestern road
several weeks since. He preached at
Clower’s Church, near Catania depot, last
Sunday
The Griffin News says John Stokes and
Green King were badly wounded on
Tuesday, by the premature explosion of a
blast in a well in that place. Stokes may
be fatally injnred.
We learn from the Thomasville Enter
prise that Mr. L. L. Yarnadoe, of that
county, netted $240 on his one hundred

Mb. William McRee Killed and
His Wife and Daughter Bad.
ly Injured.—The report reached
the city this morning that a
gentleman, his wife and two daughters
were kilted In Oconee county by his mules
running away with the wagon and throw
ing them out, while on their way from
church Snnday night. An investigation
proved that there was fonndatlon for the
report, iStiugh the mult was noi_guite as
serious as at %SkT*BtifaS of it, ana there
were vsrtou. rumors, all giving the facts
differently, but the most reliable state
ment we could get was to the effect that
Mr. Wm. McRee, a substantial farmer
living west of Watklnsvllle, bad, with bis
wife and two daughters, gone to church
Sunday night in a double-seated buggy,
drawn by a mule. While driving alonf:
the road the mule became frightened ana
ran away, throwing all four of the occu
pants of tbe baggy out. All were hurt,
bat Mr. McRee himself was injured worst.
His skull was fractured and be was. ren
dered insensible. His wifesnd daughters
were also considerably bruised, bat not
seriously. Mr. McRee was carried home
and it was found that his injutywas
fatal. He lingered until last night, when
he died.
Two Hex Killed and two Others
Sebiously Wounded.—We had hardly
finished writing the account ot tbe “fatal
runaway” in another place, when we re
ceived the news of another serious affair
which occurred on the place of Mr. Wm.
Perry, who lives on the line of Gwinnett
and Walton counties. Mr. Darby, who
lives in the neighborhood, brought the in.
formation. It seems that Mr. Perry runs
a saw mill and also a gin In the season.
For these purposes be has a stationary en
gine. Yesterday, while Mr. Perry and
his father, Mr. John Perry, with some ne
gro men, were engaged in some work near
tbe engine, which was steamed up but not
running, it suddenly exploded with fatal
results. Mr. John Perry and one of the
negro men were killed, and two negroes
seriously wounded. It was thought one
of the latter would die. Mr. Wm. Perry
escaped.
The Rev. F. R. Goulding died at Ros
well Tuesday night. Tbe deceased was
a Presbyterian minister, and was the an*
thor of several of the most popular juve
nile books ever written by an American.
Among hia best known works were “The
Young Marooner” and the “Marooners’
Island.”
A Noted Burglar Caught.—We
find the following in the Atlanta Post-
Appeal, ot Wednesday afternoon:
At a late hour last night word was sent
to police headquarters from the residence
of Mr. Regenstein, on Pryor street, which
was responded to by officers Bagby and
Norman, who found, on. reaching tbe
spot, that Mr. Edgar Thompson aud two
others had a negro corralled on the ve
randa. The family are absent in New
York. The negro was taken into custo
dy, giving his name as Joe Willis; but
when taken to the station bouse he was
identified as Willis McAffee, against
whom there are twenty-six charge* of
burglary. When searched seven pocket-
books were found on him, containing
more or leas monsy, one of them having
a number of Baltimore and New York
street car tickets in it, and one containing
papers belonging to Railroad Agent Sar
gent. In addition to these s pair of band-
tome sleeve buttons were found, which
were recognized as the property or Mr. A.
B. Brumby, and were stolen from hia res
idence on tbe night ot May 25th, together
with a coat which waa also found with
many other articles among McAllen's ef
fects this morning. A reward of $10 had
been offered by Mr. Brumby for the but-
tnna. A splendid gold watch, lady’s,
which had been stolen from tbe house oi
Mr. Steele on the night of March 11th, to
gether with a lady’s gold neck chain and
a pocket-book containing a $5 bill and
some small change in silver, were also
found on McAflee’s person, besides three
gold rings and other minor triuket*. A
search of his den this morning brought
the arrest of hia brother, Hamp McAffee,
and the recovery of four dresa coats, one
of them the coat stolen from Mr. Brumby
along with the sleeve buttons; one over
coat, four pairs pants, two new and of
flue quality, two vests, one white, tbe
otber colored and new, and other articles.
Hamp said he had received tbeee good*
from his brother to whom b* bad given
money for Willis to purchase them.

From the Albany News and Advertiser:
Rooting oe an Escaped Convict.
Henry Adams, colored, a one-legged con
vict on one of the B. G. Lockett’s peniten
tiary convict places, In this county, man
aged to elude the guards and make his
esc*no lust Thursday night. It was as-
c< taiMd 0Q Monday that he was hiding
on iim Dent place; across the nver, about
six miles below Albany, and Sheriff Ed
wards, aided by J. W. Cooper, of East
Albany, and another man whoae name we
have not learned, went down late In tbe
afternoon to effect his capture. On their
arrival It was discovered that ho had left
the quarter and made off for the swamp:
Being too late to follow him up, Sheriff
Edwards returned to town,leaving tbetwo
men on the ground to .keep a lookout for
the convict. Late in tbe night they fouud
out that Adams had returned from the
swamp and was concealed in a house on
the premises.. Gathering np their guns
they proceeded In the direction to arrest
him. When they arrived Adams came
out, and, as he states, fearinghe would he
shot, seized one of the guns leveled at
him in the hands of one of tbe men. The
other then fired the contents of one barrel
of bis gun at Adams, which took effort in
his right hand, tearing off one finger and
larceratlng the hand terribly. He • was
brought to town early yesterday morning
aud lodged In jail here.
We learn from the Marietta Journal
that, on Thursday last, a young lawyer
ot Dallas, Paulding county, named J. F.
Adair, fell from a tree where he was
gathering grapes to the ground, a distance
of nineteen feet, crushing liis skull and
killing him instantly. His wife and lit
tle child were present and witnessed the
terrible accident. When the limb b:oke
upon which Mr. Adair was resting, his
wife saw the danger and only had time
to jerk her child out of tbe way, or Mr.
A. would have fallen on it and probably
killed it.

“At Hickory Flat, near Canton, in
Cherokee county, there resides an old
gentleman named Starling Kemp. He is
55 years of age, and has resided In that
neighborhood for tbe last twenty-five or
thirty years. He was esteemed and re
spected by all who knew him, and by in
dustry and frugality liad gathered together
quite an amount of this world's goods, and
was looked upon as being In good circum
stances. He and his wife had raised
quite a lamily. Some time lait spring
Seaborn R. Jackson, another old citizen ol ’
Cherokee county, who is known by nearly
every inhabitant of the county
and who had the confidence of all who
knew him applied to Mr. Kemp for board
aud was accommodated. Boon after go
ing to Mr. Kemp’s Mr. Jackson told Mr.
Kemp and his wife that he had $1,009 in
his trunk and showing them the money
requested them to exercise due diligence
in protecting it. This was soon after Mr.
Jackson went to Mr. Kemp’s to board.
Last Sunday two weeks ago, Mr. and
Mrs. Kemp and Mr. Jackson went to
church. From church Mr. Jackson went
borne with some neighbors to dine, white
Mr. and Mrs. Kemp, accompanied by sev
eral of their frieuds, returned to their
home. Late In the evening Mr. Jackson
returned to Mr. Kemp’s, where the neigh
bors who had dined with him were still
congregated. After passing a few words
with the party, Mr. Jackson passed on to
his room, but instantly discovered that
his trank had been broken open, tire top
having been prized off. An examination
resulted in discovering that the entire sum
of money, $1,009, was missing. As Mr.
Jackson had told no one but Mr. and Mrs.
Kemp of the presence of the money,
he at once suspected them and caused
the arrest of Mr. Kemp, charging
him with tbe offense. Such was the repu
tation of Mr. Kamp that in a short time
he was able to give tbe required bond. A
few days after his arrest, a son of Mr.
Kemp who had been married but a short
time, started for San Francisco, Califor
nia. His departure at this particular
time aroused the thinking powers of
Deputy Sheriff Kotcham, of Cherokee
conDtj. Frocuring a trusty colored man,
Mr. Ketclium gave him a fine gold watch
and sent him to Chattanooga, where
young Kemp was staying for a few days.
In compliance with Mr. Ketcbum's in
structions, the colored roan sought Kemp
in Chattanooga, and to him aold tbe gold
watch for twenty-fiva dollars. The money
paid by yoang Kemp was gold, and this
fact tended to confirm suspicion in the
mind of Mr. Ketohnm, who was in Chat
tanooga at tbe time. Thinking young
Kemp bad some cognizance of the rob
bery Mr. Ketch urn at once arrested him,
but a search tailed to reveal anymore of
tbe miasiug money. However, in tbe
possession of his wife were found two
tickets to Son Francisco and five hun
dred dollart in gold. This money was
identified as tbe property of Mr. Jsck-
son, and when asked how he became pos
sessed of it, be said that bis father gave it
to biaa. Mr. Ketchnm at once arrested
yoang Kemp and his wife, and returned
with them to Canton. Soon after reach
ing Canton young Kemp—promises of
freedom having been made by tbe sheriff
—told tbe sheriff that be knew where the
rest of the money was secreted—that his
father bad robbed tbe trank—and agreed
to pilot him to tbe place. The sheriff;
accompanied by Kemp, was soon dili

From ah interview with Representative
Jeraison, of this county, by an Atlanta
Post-Appeal reporter, wc extract the fol
lowing:’
‘Why Is If, Colonel, that the people
along the line between here and Biuns-
wlck are so much stirred up about this
Cole charter;”’ “Very clearly because in
the cuttle fish process of covering their
own retreat, tbe Cole peop'6, or their al
lies, have misled tbe people Into a confu
sion of the charter from Koine to Atlanta,
with the extension from Macon here. The
people of Macon, many of them, are la
boring under an erroneous impression
that 1 have voted against the extension
from Macon to Atlanta. This, of course,
is a mistake, because the line from there
here is already authorized and required to
be built. But, it Is said, why bottle up
the road after it reaches Atlanta? as if the
Central and Georgia railroads were not.
without any outlet to Chattanooga other
than the State road; and why, it may he
more properly asked, should the Cole
crowd be put in any bet er condition than
those roads are in and hate
been in for years? No, the truth
is it would not be exactly healthy for
the proposed concern if the people were
fully advised as to Its demands and pur
poses, find their strikers and henchmen
are industriously endeavoring to distract
public attention by such groundless bug
bears as the ‘powerful lobby’ scare.
Some popple are disposed to look upon
them as In the predicament of the.thief in
a short jacket,who stuck h!s plunder under
his jacket, and raised a hue and cry of
“stop thief” with the tail of a fish stick
ing out below his attenuated garment. If
the people below here knew, or Would
•top to think, that the charter from Rome
to Atlanta Is a very- different thing from
the extension from Macon here, they
would lose some of their indignation at
those who ask to be permitted to scruti
nize a charter closely that is likely to cost
them some four or five millions in the de
preciation of a property valuable enough
to pay f very dollar they owe and leave a
surplus in the treasury.”

Informed that a legislative committee as
sessed the value of tbe old capitol at Mil-
ledgevilje or the cost of its erection at
$80,000. Tbe old capitol at Milledgevllle
may not in lie present location be worth
ten thousand dollars, yet it may have cost
a hundred thousand. We never wanted
Atlanta tn build a capitol for Georgia,
and we voted against Atlanta for this
reason. A bill has already been Intro
duced In tbe present Legislature to appro
priate a million of dollars for a new capi
tol. It pow begins to look as if the tax
payers of tbe State will - be called upon to
build their own capitol. This is just
what we expected four years ago. Well,
we now want tbe State to build her own
capitol, bu‘,wowant the State to wait
until she has paid her debts,redeemed her
bonds, dpne more to educate the poor
children of tbe Slate, and then, if the
formers are prosperous, we might afford
to submit to a million dollar appropria

from one to two inches in length. These
were turned loose In a pond, supplied by
one oft our mountain springs, which by a
dam twelve or eighteen inches high, was
made to cover about half an acre. Capt.
Bray informs us that somewhat to h!s
surprise, there are now thousands of
young carp in the pond, those originally
put Tn having' in a few months matured
enough to spawn and hatch out young.
They grew wonderfully fast, those which
were put in tbe pond now being eight or
ten inches in length.”
.. Macon and Macon Girls Photo-
orapusd.—Mr. S. A. Fackler, of the Mc
Rae Advertiser, who was here taking
notes last week, prints some of them in
the last edition of his paper, as follows:
> Macon presents a very quiet appear
ance on Sunday. The town Is wrapped
in almost Puritan quietude. It is even
difficult to procure a glass of soda water
on Sunday. If, however, one will take
the trouble to go down to the fair grounds
lie can get as much beer as he may wish.
We saw no less than twenty-five glasses
sold in about fifteen minutes. Would it
not be better to allow the free sale of lem
onade and soda water in the city than to
force the thirsty to walk a distance to the
park for beer? The workings of tbe Sun
day law are somewhat mysterious, it
seems. That a city of Macon’s size and
importance should have no drinking foun
tains, Is very deplorable. The thirsty
would prefer pure water to the so-calW
'—nil w»»— ■*•«*# not satisfy
SS&ron the contrary, we think, it In
creases tbe desire for something to drink,
as it leaves a sweet taste in the mouth,
and in order to slack his thirst, a thirsty
man will.havo recourse to ardent spirits.
Thus intemperance Is encouraged. Tho
park Is now in excellent condition—it is a
retreat of which the Maconites may feel
justly proud. We fear, however, that its
beauties are but little appreciated by those
who have the best opportunity to enjoy
them; its healthful atmosphere and the
grand view that may be had from the
banks of the river. We saw bat few peo
ple in the park. Macon is noted for her
beautiful ladies. If you will take a quiet
stroll through the city, on a cool Sunday
afternoon, yon will be amply repaid by
the sight or the handsomest ladies In the
South
Mr. Fackler must be mistaken about
soda water. We never heard before there
was tbe slightest difficulty in filling up on
that.

house
Nothing was done at the afternoon ses
sion of the House yesterday, except the
second reading of bills favorably repotted
upon by the committees. They were all
advanced to a third reading without oppo
sition.
HOUSE BILLS ON THIRD READING
The first business of the morning was
the reading of House bills a third time,
and the following were taken up.
The bill of Mr. Lamar, to authorize the
treasurer to pay certain valid past-due
bonds of the State signed by Gov. Mc
Donald and the commissioners of the
Western and Atlantic railroad. (Twenty-
nine bonds amounting to $12,500, with in
terest.) A proviso reported by the finance
committee requires the attorney-general
to make a thorough Investigation as to the
validity and ownership of the bonds be
fore payment is made. The bonds had
not been registered under the act of 18i5,
and Mr. Hutchins, chairman of tho fi
nance committee, explained the reasons
which induced that committee to recom
mend payment, alter investigation, not
withstanding some irregularities.
The proviso was adopted, and the com
mittee of the whole House recommended
the passage of the bill.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill hack.
Mr. Hammond suggested some verbal
amendments, as there seemed to be some
doubt on the part of the finance commit
tee, and as the caption declared the bonds
to be valid uotwitb*te»<R n 5 *t»o Investiga
tion ordered.
Mr. Garrard said that the finance com
mittee had made a close scrutiny, aud
was satisfied with tbe validity of the
bonds. He did not think the proviso nec
essary, bat was willing to accept it to sat-
isiy the scruples of others. It was recom
mended because one member of the com
mittee desired it. There was no doubt of
the genuineness of the bonds, and the
books allowed that they had never been
paid. The fact that the amount involved
was large ought not to he regarded if the
Stats honestly owed the money.
Mr. Hammond had the act of 1879 read,
which required all bonds issued before
that time aud then due to be presented
wltliln that year, and declaring that all
not presented within that lime would he
regarded as prima facte spurious.
Mr. Miller, of Houston, thought the
scrutiny of the committee and the'proviso
requiring an investigation by the Attorney
General were a sufficient assurance that
tlie bonds would not be paid unless they
represented a valid debt due by the State,
and the only question about which there
could he a doubt was as to the validity of
the title of the present holders.
After some discussion between Messrs.
Hammond and Miller as to the facts
of the case, the House adopted the pro
viso.
Mr. Hqnt moved that the bill be printed
and made a special order for Wednesday
next. Carried.
Tho next bill was the bill of Mr. Bates,
to pay extra compensation to the sher
iffs and clerks of Burke couuty. Passed.

the board of commissioners of Floyd
county to puicbase bridges over the Eto
wah and Oostanaula river, aud to Issue
bonds therefor. Passed,
The bill of Mr. Heater, to amend an art
to authorize the commissioners ol Dough
erty county to issue bonds to the amount
of $30,000 for the purchase of a bridge
over Flint river at Albany. Passed by

committee on finance proposed an amend
ment limiting the amount to $10,000, aud
Mr. Jemisou offered an amendment re
ducing it to $5,000,

lars was too much, and therefore offered

mittee thought ten thousand dollars not
too much, but he would vote for Mr. Jem-
iron’s amendment.

HOUSE.
Rev. Dr. Turner offered prayer in tiie
House this merning, aud lu a most feel
ing and earnest manner implored divine
mercy and favor for tbe President of the
United States in his extremity.
Mr. Bacon, of Chatham, moved to re
consider the vote of yesterday by which
tho H»use rejected the bill making an ap
propriation for a State official representa
tion at the International Cotton Exposi
tion. Mr. Bacon supported his motion in
a forcible speech, contending for a State
representation and acknowledgment, even
if no money should be appropriated. He
referred to interesting exhibits from vari
ous counties which could and ought to be
made.
Mr. Garrard opposed reconsideration,
on tlie ground that an appropriation lor
the purpose would be unconstitutional.
He contended that it would be devotiog
the money or credit of tlie State to tlie
uses of a joint stock association. He did
not want the corpse resurrected merely
for the purpose of giving it a more decent
burial, and would therefore vote against
reconsideration.
Mr. Hutchins, of Gwinnett, did not be
lieve that there was anything unconstitu
tional in the proposed appropriation. Hq
was willing to support the bill, with some
modifications, which wo did not dis
tinctly hear.
Mr. Nortben favored reconsideration.
He said the State bad already collected in
the capitol building a large store of speci
mens showing the resources of tlie State,
which ought to be exhibited. He related
conversations with gentleman of other
States, who expected and desired the ex
hibits to be made. He referred to the
fine opportunity for inviting and securing
immigration and the investment of capi
tal from other State;, which the exposi
tion would afford If the State was prop
erly represented.
Mr. Miller opposed reconsideration. He
was surprised at the motion alter the
failnre of the friends of the bill to make
any argument in its behalf yesterday.
Mr. Nortben rose to say that ha was so
much staggered at the opposition in the
House that he kept silent.
Mr. Miller said it was not the first time
the gentleman had been staggered by the
action of the House, and he ought to hare
taken warning from past experience. He
went on to oppose the bill as unconstitu
tional. Ho scouted the idea of being in
fluenced in a matter of this kind by the
wishes and advice of Northern men. He
■aid that they attended to the business of
their own States independently of our
wishes or advice,and be elaimed equal in
dependence forGeorgiain the management
of her own concerns. He believed that
the Agricultural Department of the State
already had articles enough and money
enough to make a creditable exhibition.
Mr. Coffin said that the finance com
mittee had failed yesterday to give any
reasons in favor of the bill, and that was
sufficient to account for the si
lence of other members. Ee was for glv.
ing tbe bill a fair chance before tbe House,
and believed the interests of the State
would sufier if such a chance was not af
forded.
Mr. Hester, of Dougherty, made a
speech in favor of the bill, which wc did
not bear with sufficient distinctness to at
tempt a report of it.
Mr. Baoon, of Chatham, said that the
desire of the friends of the bill was to
hare it recommitted, so that they might
consult with the Commissioner ot Agri
culture, and ascertain what could be done
with least expense.
The yeas and nays were ordered on the
motion to reconsider, and the vote stood
—yeas 47, nays 85. So the motion failed.
